Chapter 680 (Vol 3) – Is He The Grandmaster?
“What? Grandmaster?”
After several seconds of Xuanyuan Ling releasing his ear, Xuanyuan Haoyun blinked in astonishment as his mind began to process everything. His eyes glanced towards Ling Tian, who just stood there staring at him with a somewhat strange expression.
“Impossible! The Masters told us that Grandmaster had disappeared a long time ago! Besides, this guy is as young as our Masters, while Grandmaster should be much older!”
However, Xuanyuan Haoyun shook his head as he looked at Ling Tian.
“You mean I have to be an old man to be your Grandmaster?” Ling Tian smiled faintly, a vein threatening to mark itself on his temple again. This boy was the opposite of his calm and composed sister; a rebelliousness and agitation could be seen in his expression!
“Haoyun! Don’t be disrespectful! He is the Grandmaster, the Master of all our Masters!”
Xuanyuan Ling raised her voice again, waving her hand lightly threatening her younger brother in doing the same thing as a few moments ago.
Xuanyuan Haoyun felt chills as he heard his sister’s angry voice. Finally his eyes caught all the people behind Ling Tian in shock; besides his Master Lu Wuhu and this man who was supposed to be his Grandmaster, the other people were women! Really beautiful women! Just as stunning and divine as his three female Masters!
“Tsk!”
A cold but terrifying snort shook Xuanyuan Haoyun’s head as his gaze locked onto Yun Mengxin and the other women, a slight blush showing on his face at the sight of so many beautiful women. His mind cleared as he unconsciously looked at Ling Tian, glaring at him as if he was annoyed.
“Haoyun! Those Mistresses are the Grandmaster’s wives! Don’t you dare be disrespectful!” Xuanyuan Ling snorted and finally pulled Xuanyuan Haoyun’s ear again. A feeling of shame filled her heart at the thought of this immature younger brother of hers who can’t read and adapt to the situation.
“Ouch! Ouch! It’s okay! Sister, let me go, please!” Xuanyuan Haoyun shook his hands wanting his elder sister to release him. But still, he made no attempt to escape from her, simply pleading with her.
Xuanyuan Ling coldly snorted, letting go of Xuanyuan Haoyun’s ear and letting him go. At once, she walked towards Ling Tian and bowed nervously, “G-Grandmaster, I apologize to you in place of my younger brother! It’s just that he is still somewhat immature and very young!” Her voice trembled and wavered, feeling nervous and embarrassed. She didn’t want her Grandmaster to have a bad impression of her because of her younger brother!
“What do you say, Ling’er? You haven’t done anything wrong, so don’t lower your head so easily or bow it for others. You are a good girl.” Ling Tian smiled softly and patted Xuanyuan Ling’s head, causing the latter to smile and sigh in relief and happiness, but a strange feeling filled her heart as she saw the way Ling Tian was heading towards her.
“Besides! The best way to deal with these brats is to punish and reprimand them, hehe~” Ling Tian smiled mischievously, looking dangerously at Xuanyuan Haoyun, causing Lu Wuhu to feel shivers.
Although they were always well-behaved, Ling Tian always scolded them when they did something wrong, imposing punishments when they deserved it. Lu Wuhu even remembered when Ling Tian punished his brother Sun Xiang, leaving him ashamed to go out when he became unruly and rascal in a moment. But still, Lu Wuhu knew that Ling Tian had done everything for their good, not wanting them to take bad paths that they might regret later.
Xuanyuan Haoyun dumbfoundedly watched his elder sister bow to this stranger, really thinking if this guy as young as his Masters was really his rumored Grandmaster.
“Haoyun.”
“Master!”
Xuanyuan Haoyun was startled when he heard Lu Wuhu’s voice, realizing that he had approached them.
“He is my Master, as well as Master of all your Masters. He is your Grandmaster.”
Lu Wuhu patted Xuanyuan Haoyun’s shoulder, smiling at him quietly but excitedly before looking at Ling Tian.
“H-he is… the Grandmaster? Shouldn’t he be a much elder man? Older? Could it be that he is using some high-level heavenly technique to rejuvenate his body and look younger?”
Xuanyuan Haoyun looked at Ling Tian in stupefaction, blurting out words without a second thought. His dumbfounded expression clearly showed that he couldn’t process this.
“Looks like you have a small hushed mouth~” Ling Tian smirked dangerously and said sarcastically while Xuanyuan Ling blushed again, wanting to punch her younger brother and shut that mouth that was almost never kept closed.
Xuanyuan Haoyun was startled to hear Ling Tian and then see his elder sister wanting to beat him.
“Grandmaster, forgive me!”
The next moment, Xuanyuan Haoyun approached Ling Tian and bowed, clenching his fists together as he showed his respects. His body trembled slightly at the thought of what he had done. If this young man really was his Grandmaster, then he was committing a grave disrespect to both his Grandmaster and all his Masters.
“My name is Xuanyuan Haoyun, and I am the disciple of all your disciples! I am really sorry, I have no eyes to see that you are my Grandmaster!”
Xuanyuan Haoyun apologized loudly, wanting to ease his Grandmaster’s mood.
Ling Tian silently looked at Xuanyuan Haoyun, realizing that he really apologized and was sorry, not showing falsehood or lies. He also noticed Xuanyuan Ling who had a red face, also being surprised to see that this young woman who were always so calm and quiet with a slight resemblance to him in terms of indifference could show this kind of expression.
“It’s okay to be unrestrained sometimes, but you also have to know when to be serious and when to intervene. Throwing yourself into battle quickly just for the sake of seeing a little scene could be detrimental to you in the future.”
Ling Tian nodded and then patted Xuanyuan Ling’s blushing head with a little amused smile, finding out more about this interesting Grand Female Disciple of his.
Xuanyuan Ling felt shyness in her heart before she looked at Xuanyuan Haoyun and snort coldly annoyed, immediately following Ling Tian.
“Ehm?” Xuanyuan Haoyun scratched his head uncomprehendingly as he saw his elder sister getting angry at him again despite not having done anything.
“What are you two doing here? You should be resting.”
Ling Tian frowned as he saw Zhao Yu and Gu Yan on the spot as well, accompanied by Zhen Bingluo. The most important thing for the two of them was for them to recover.
“Master, we came to see what had happened! We don’t want anything bad to happen to you…” Gu Yan replied with her head lowered, behaving as if she was a little girl who had done wrong.
Zhao Yu also looked worriedly at Ling Tian. Neither she nor her younger sister wanted anything to happen to their Master, more so when he was crippled. Even though Ling Tian still had his body refining strength, they couldn’t help but worry.
“Master, it was my fault! I couldn’t help but worry about you either and we came to see as soon as we felt the aura explosion!”
Zhen Bingluo apologized as well, looking nervously and worriedly at Ling Tian. She also didn’t want anything to happen to her Master, so she didn’t stop Zhao Yu and Gu Yan on the contrary, she too quickly ran to see what was going on.
Each and every one present couldn’t help but nod inwardly upon hearing Gu Yan and Zhen Bingluo’s words. Ling Tian’s current state was the main worry in their minds, so they couldn’t help but worry about him.
Ling Tian smiled softly full of love and affection. His hands patted the heads of Gu Yan, Zhao Yu and Zhen Bingluo as well.
“I’m fine, girls. Thank you for your worries. But the most important thing for me now is for you two to recover, you must not neglect your recovery states.” Ling Tian smiled and added, “Little Bingluo, I’ll trouble you to take Yan’er and Yu’er to the recovery room.”
“Yes, Master!”
Zhen Bingluo smiled happily as Ling Tian’s hand once again fell on her head, caressing her affectionately before turning around and leading the way for Zhao Yu and Gu Yan.
“”Master!””
As if he knew what would follow next, Ling Tian opened his arms when two little figures rushed towards him and hugged him.
Ling Tian smiled and hugged both Lan Yin and Qing Sha who happily hugged him back. The little white fox was now on Ling Tian’s shoulder, jumping from Lan Yin’s shoulder.
“Did you find your own bedrooms?” Ling Tian asked smilingly.
“Not yet, Master!” Lan Yin shook her head.
“There are many bedrooms and we haven’t checked them all!” Qing Sha began to explain cheerfully, “Each of the rooms are bigger than our rooms where we slept with big sisters and you Master!”
Ling Tian chuckled, feeling happy to see the joyful and curious expressions of both girls. He stroked their little heads, making them smile all the more. Clearly this world was very different from the small worlds on the lower planes, so the type of structure and life was very different.
“Wow! Such pretty plants!”
“They are very beautiful!”
Qing Sha and Lan Yin were surprised when they noticed the place full of flowers, with blue and red colors all over, adorning the place like a work of art.
Ling Tian noticed Ning Xiaoyi, Xi Fey and Nalan Ziqing near him, who were looking at him in awe and curiosity. He blinked startled for a moment when his gaze also caught the jade plates on the ground, as well as a zither and a sword in the hands of Ning Xiaoyi and Xi Fei.
After thinking about it for a single second, Ling Tian walked towards them.
