Chapter 236 – Talking About Elder Xuan And Angry Senior Sister
"So, I never really got to ask you about how you really met master in the first place… Outside of it just being in an underground cave or something along that line…?" Sitting down at a small table located in the corner of the dining hall, Chu Yang leaned over the food he had picked out and asked Bai Ning curiously.
Extremely interested in finding out how Bai Ning and his master had managed to somehow meet each other in an underground cave in the first place.
"Ah! Eh… That is…" Seeing Chu Yang's face suddenly appear directly in front of him, Bai Ning nervously shrank back as he did not know how to respond.
To be honest, he had no idea that the place he had been staying in for the past few months was a secret realm, nor did he have any idea how he should explain the fact that he had ended up stuck inside a small room with an underground garden next to it for so long due to him stupidly entering an underground cave for no real reason outside of being curious…
"No need to think so much about it, I'm just asking you about how you met master. Not your entire life story…" At least somewhat understanding what was going through the mind of Bai Ning as he struggled to think of a way to explain how he had ended up in the same underground cave as his master, Chu Yang gave him an easy way out as he just wanted to know what his master had been up to.
He did not feel like spending the next few hours listing to Bai Ning's explanation of how he ended up in the underground cave that his master was in…
"O-okay then… I met your master back when I was studying some of my late teacher's blacksmithing blueprints and…" Retelling the story of how he had ended up meeting Xuan Hao and was in the end saved by him as they had both escaped out from the underground cave with the weird roaring snake in it, Bai Ning did not notice a few nearby disciples curiously listening in on the story from the side together with Chu Yang.
"…And that was how he ended up defeating the big rocky not roaring snake!" Finishing as he described the last part about the rock snake that he had seen Xuan Hao fight outside the city… Or at least heard about, Bai Ning suddenly noticed at least a dozen or so disciples had gathered around him as they were all attentively listening.
"Wow, Elder Xuan is really strong…"
"Well, he is a Core Elder after all, so that is a given!"
"How come I never knew Elder Xuan was so awesome?!"
As he stopped talking, the surrounding disciples began talking among themselves as Bai Ning looked at them with a flustered expression, clearly not aware that he had gathered an audience while retelling the events he had gone through together with Elder Xuan to Chu Yang.
"So master was that strong…" Listening to the vivid description of battle given by Bai Ning, Chu Yang suddenly felt that his master was way stronger than he had first imagined him to be as he could not wait for him to leave his closed-door meditation and teach him again!
"Hm? I think we should get going before it becomes too crowded here…" Looking around himself, Chu Yang also discovered the growing crowd of disciples surrounding them as they talked about his master excitedly.
Bai Ning understood what he meant and grabbed a few easy to carry fruits along with a loaf of bread as both of them left the dining hall before any of the disciples surrounding them noticed anything while they were concentrated on discussing the exploits of Elder Xuan that they had just come to know about.
…
Leaving the dining hall behind, Chu Yang and Bai Ning both made their way towards the pagoda of enlightenment where the different cultivation mantras of the Flying Sword Sect was stored.
Along the way, Bai Ning finished up the few fruits and piece of bread that he had taken with him upon leaving the dining hall.
"Can I also pick out a cultivation mantra and begin cultivating…?" This was one of the first things that Bai Ning had thought about the moment he heard that they were going to visit the pagoda of enlightenment where the cultivation mantras of the Flying Sword Sect were stored.
No matter how little he knew about cultivation, he still knew a little about the fact that a cultivation mantra was something important that would allow the cultivator to improve and increase his strength further.
Other than that, a cultivation mantra was required if someone wanted to begin cultivating in the first place… So, Bai Ning was looking forward to getting his hands on his first cultivation mantra as well.
After all, who would not be interested in cultivation when they knew that it would allow one to extend his life and live for longer…?
"I don't think so… After all, master will definitely be able to pick the one most suited for you after coming out of closed door meditation! Other than that, he also has access to the higher-level cultivation mantras locked away inside the pagoda of enlightenment…" Shaking his head, Chu Yang shot down Bai Ning's dream of finding a cultivation mantra and attempt to start his journey on the path of cultivation today.
"I see, that does indeed make sense…" Nodding his head in understanding upon hearing what Chu Yang said, Bai Ning fully understood how important the cultivation mantra would be for his start as a cultivator.
At the very least he would still be able to see the pagoda of enlightenment and read through a few different cultivation mantras without practicing them.
That way he would at least be able to gain some form of understanding regarding how to even cultivate in the first place.
Bang!
A loud sound of an object hitting the ground in front of them suddenly echoed through the surrounds as both Chu Yang and Bai Ning jumped in shock as they looked towards the location of the impact from earlier with a trace of shock present on their faces.
Was the Flying Sword Sect under attack!?
This thought went through the mind of both of them at the same time.
The surrounding disciples walking along the same path also wore a shocked expression on their faces as most of them recalled how their Vice Sect Master had caused no small amount of damage only a few weeks earlier…
Back when the Vice Sect Master Zu Fei had fought with the guest of the Sect Master, large stones and other rubble had rained down on the area surrounding the Vice Sect Master's Mountain Peak.
"Argh! W-where am I…?"
However, this shock did not last for long as the group of disciples, along with Chu Yang and Bai Ning soon heard a voice coming out from the source of the impact as a human figure soon revealed itself as the surrounding disciples soon recognized the robes of the person were the same as the ones they were wearing.
Where did this guy come flying from?
Everyone looked a bit confused as they had no idea where the male disciple in question had suddenly come flying from as all of them just stared at him speechlessly.
"Lu Wen you bastard! Where do you think you are going?! I only barely hit you with a tiny amount of strength and you already went flying!" As everyone did not know what was happening, an angry female voice suddenly echoed and the male disciple who had just come flying and hit the ground suddenly stood up with a panicked look on his face before running away.
"How dare you run away!? Stay here and let me hit you!" Just as the male disciple known as Lu Wen got up and ran away, a beautiful girl around her early twenties appeared with an intimidating aura along with no small amount of killing intent appeared and soon disappeared in the direction that the Lu Wen disciple had run in.
"That was senior sister Wang Shufen… I wonder how that disciple offended her…"
"From what I can see, that Lu Wen guy won't have a good ending…"
"I almost feel bad for that guy… Those offending Shufen never had a good ending…"
Listening to what the different disciples were saying along with seeing the person behind the chaos appearing before chasing after the person who she had sent flying in the first place, both Chu Yang and Bai Ning calmed down knowing that it was not something dangerous like an attack on the Flying Sword Sect.
"D-does things like this happen often…?" Turning to look at Chu Yang, Bai Ning could not help but ask as he clearly saw the pitiful figure of that Lu Wen guy as he ran away from his Senior Sister.
"No… To be honest, this is my first time seeing something like this…" Not really knowing what to make of the situation he had just witnessed, Chu Yang could only answer him truthfully as both of them soon made their way towards the pagoda of enlightenment without commenting anymore on the situation that they had just witnessed.
