Chapter 111: Junior Uncle Master
rt their sects' development.When Shen Xiang returned to the Great Medicine King Palace, he couldn't find Duan Eld. His medicinal garden wasn’t being tended to either. This made him somewhat puzzled be...Chapter 111 - Junior Master Uncle
After entering this heavenly cave, once you desire to fly upwards, your strength will be stripped away, even for Huang Jin Tian. But now, he has lifted the restrictions on Shen Xiang, meaning that the grand array inside is controlled by the sect master.
Upon learning he could ascend, Shen Xiang felt delighted. He didn’t wish to spend his entire life in this dark place.
"Master, I…" Before he could finish his sentence, Shen Xiang felt a sharp pain in his buttocks and found himself soaring upwards as Huang Jin Tian kicked him skywards.
Earlier, Shen Xiang had thought up many farewell words, filled with comfort and sentimentality. However, the circumstances ended differently as he was kicked upward instead. It made him feel frustrated and vexed.
In a daze, Shen Xiang shot up from the ground at an incredible speed before falling again.
Downstairs, he had been kicked down; upstairs, he was kicked up. This made him feel both amused and helpless.
Shen Xiang saw an old man with white beard and glossy bald head walking towards him cheerfully. Wukai Ming said, "I didn’t expect you could ascend in one piece; impressive."
Behind Wukai Ming, an extraordinary handsome young man was following. He wore gray clothing and had a faint smile on his lips, with wrinkles in his eyebrows that seemed out of place for his appearance. It was evident that this must be the current sect master of Ta Wu Sect, Gudong Chen.
"Gudong Chen, hurry and greet the sect master!" Wukai Ming chuckled.
Shen Xiang didn’t expect that the sect master was a younger and more handsome man than him. It made him feel that perhaps he, the current master of Ta Wu Sect’s Top Ten Handsome Men, should be occupying the first position.
Shen Xiang surveyed his surroundings and stood up, dusting off the dirt on him. He said with a faint smile, "Guess who I met underneath"
"Guessing isn’t necessary; it’s the mad old man, right You can still laugh now. Wasn’t he tormenting you" Gudong Chen frowned slightly, noticing that Shen Xiang didn’t greet him and didn’t seem to have any intention of doing so.
Shen Xiang said with a triumphant smile, "The mad old man has taken me as his disciple. If we were to follow the hierarchy of seniors, shouldn’t you call me Junior Master"
Wukai Ming and Gudong Chen were startled. However, they doubted it too. Just as Gudong Chen was about to speak, Shen Xiang took out the oath of discipleship.
"Take a look yourselves; I’m not lying." Shen Xiang said with a smile, while Wukai Ming and Gudong Chen could only curse in their heads. If they didn’t maintain their image, Shen Xiang would have heard a lot more colorful curses by now.
"Rest assured, when outsiders are around, you two are the sect master and elders. But when there’s no outsider present, you have to call me junior master." Shen Xiang said with a huge smile, similar to Huang Jin Tian’s mad laughter.
This made Wukai Ming and Gudong Chen long to kick him in the face! Although they cursed Shen Xiang and Huang Jin Tian, their astonishment was also evident. They knew that Huang Jin Tian didn’t easily take disciples and his single disciple was very talented, having ascended to the heaven world at a young age, with unparalleled strength and surpassing his peers. He was a legend in Chen Wu Continent.
Of course, knowing that Huang Jin Tian was their grandmaster’s great-grandson, they all knew about his achievements. This made their hearts tremble as they suspected that Shen Xiang might have obtained Huang Jin Tian’s divine skill! They would have been able to cultivate those divine skills too, but they hadn’t learned them by now.
Both Huang Jin Tian and his master were kind towards them, making them respect their seniors very much. However, asking a boy who was not even twenty years old to call them junior master was hard for him. Of course, they also acknowledged Shen Xiang’s seniority.
Shen Xiang stood with his hands behind his back, looking solemnly at Wukai Ming and Gudong Chen. If anyone else did the same, they would have been destroyed long ago.
"Since you don’t recognize me, that’s fine; I won’t bring it up when I see Senior Master later. Even if by chance, I’ll make sure he won’t blame you." Shen Xiang shook his head with a sigh and said solemnly.
This made Wukai Ming and Gudong Chen even more angry towards Shen Xiang.
Wukai Ming was the first to break down. He might go to heaven in the future, and if he were ever reported by Shen Xiang, he would have a hard time dealing with it. Their master was very strict towards them.
"Gudong Chen, Junior Master; you’re happy now Wait until Dantu Elder wakes up and you’ll see how she deals with you," Gudong Chen said while humming.
Shen Xiang chuckled, although he was calling him Junior Master, it satisfied his sense of superiority. Being called the sect master by Ta Wu Sect’s leader felt great and made him feel like he was reborn.
"I’ll take care of it later; worry not, Dantu Elder doesn’t need to acknowledge me. But she’s still my junior disciple." Shen Xiang said with a huge smile, "Haha... Little bald head, little hairy head..."
Wukai Ming was furious, only his master and the old man dared to call him by his nickname. This made Gudong Chen equally speechless. A boy who was not even twenty years old dared to show off in front of them! He would have kicked Shen Xiang down into the heavenly cave, allowing him to continue enduring Huang Jin Tian’s torment!
To avoid having to call Shen Xiang Junior Master, Wukai Ming and Gudong Ming walked quickly until they disappeared into the mystic realm. Shen Xiang, however, leisurely left the mystic realm and returned to the number 500 Wu Academy.
Being able to see the sun again, he felt like he had been reborn. His mood was great and his strength had significantly improved after being tortured in that cursed land.
The Wu Academy remained the same as it was two years ago, with no one around when Shen Xiang returned. He could only lie on a long bench in the pavilion, basking in the sun while waiting for Yun Xiaodao and Zhu Rong.
After returning, Shen Xiang found out that the second assessment for inner disciples was supervised by Wukai Ming. Hence, many more inner disciples were present than before, but there were only a few people in the number 500 Wu Academy as they all had the option to choose an earlier position.
"A person Quickly come out!" A very arrogant voice came, and it was feminine.
Shen Xiang could hear it but remained motionless, pretending to be asleep and lying on the long bench in the pavilion. He wanted to see what this woman was up to.
Soon, he realized that it wasn’t just one woman but a group of boys and girls. Their appearances were decent, but Shen Xiang didn’t move.
"Humph, three failures occupying such a large area is a waste; let’s take over here today and let the sisters and brothers have a place to land," said the leading woman, with arrogance in her tone. She seemed like the leader of this group.
"Big sister, there’s a person over there!" A girl pointed at Shen Xiang’s location.
When they noticed Shen Xiang, everyone went over, with a fierce attitude, as if planning to beat him mercilessly.
If others were surrounded by this hundred people, they would have been scared to death. However, Shen Xiang remained asleep and snoring.
"Hey! Wake up quickly, do you know who came" A girl said proudly.
Although Shen Xiang didn’t know, he noticed the leading woman in yellow clothes earlier. She was much prettier than all her companions, although she wasn’t as good-looking as Xueshanxi and Su Meiya in his opinion.
Shen Xiang continued to pretend to be asleep, and the girl saw his behavior. She said in anger, "No wonder they stayed at this academy for so long and only knew how to sleep!"
Saying that, she slapped Shen Xiang’s chest. The force was not small. But after hitting him, she felt a strong suction force that pulled her hand towards Shen Xiang’s right chest.
Then, Shen Xiang opened his eyes and screamed, "You… you dared to tease men in broad daylight! Where did you come from, bad girl!ecognized!" said Shen Xiang.Now that he used his true appearance, as Long Huishan requested. She wanted to know what he looked like and was pleased with his appearance, so she didn't want him changing...
