Cheng Lingdang’s progress in cultivation was clear to see.
After Shi Yaoguang watched, she gave her a few pointers, and Cheng Lingdang imdiately hugged her tightly.
"Master~ I feel like with your personal guidance, I’m advancing rapidly! Can you stay~"
Saying this, she shook Shi Yaoguang’s arm.
"Or shall we go down the mountain together? Wherever you go, Master, I’ll go too?"
After she finished speaking, she was imdiately rejected.
The words ca from Quan Jinbei.
"No."
Cheng Lingdang was aggrieved, "Why not?"
"I promise I won’t disturb you," she said, making a pitiful gesture of supplication, "Please~"
Quan Jinbei would not be deceived by her appearance.
He had just learned that Cheng Lingdang’s prestige in the Yaoguang Sect was quite strong.
She managed to get this far, which clearly showed she wasn’t as pitiful as she seed.
Cheng Lingdang didn’t expect Quan Jinbei to be so cold-hearted.
She looked at Shi Yaoguang with a hint of resentnt, hoping Shi Yaoguang would be on her side.
Just as Shi Yaoguang wanted to speak, she heard Shen Antai’s voice.
"Master!"
He called out with the grandeur of Sun Wukong calling out to Tang Sanzang.
"Master, you’re finally here!"
The expression on Shen Antai’s face was sowhat excited, "I was just thinking of coming to find you these few days!"
Shi Yaoguang was puzzled, "Has sothing happened?"
Shen Antai looked a bit serious, "Indeed, sothing has happened."
Cheng Lingdang was surprised to hear this, "What happened?"
Why hadn’t she heard any news of it?
Shen Antai understood her confusion, sighed, and said: "It’s not about the Sect."
Cheng Lingdang breathed a sigh of relief.
At least it’s not sothing concerning the Sect.
Otherwise, she’d feel guilty about the trust placed in her.
However, she was still curious about what had happened.
Shen Antai disclosed the information he received, "I got so news from the taphysics Organization. President An and the others have encountered so tricky problem."
"What kind of problem?"
Shen Antai shook his head, "I don’t really know the specifics either, President An only requested Master to step in and help."
Shi Yaoguang raised an eyebrow.
Shen Antai thought about it and said, "Previously, President An ntioned wanting to join the Yaoguang Sect. Even if he couldn’t enter the Sect, living on Yaoguang Island was sothing he desired."
"But this ti, President An sought out probably not for this matter."
Shi Yaoguang nodded, "Since President An has sothing going on, let’s go have a look."
"Okay." Shen Antai nodded, "I’ll pack so Magic Artifacts, when do you think is suitable to set off?"
Shi Yaoguang was ready to leave at any ti.
Cheng Lingdang also wanted to go, "Master, I want to go too!"
"We don’t know what President An’s situation is, you should stay at the Sect." Shi Yaoguang thought about it and still rejected her.
After hearing Shen Antai ntion President An’s troubles, a vague sense of unease rose within her.
She couldn’t ignore this unease.
Seeing Shi Yaoguang’s serious expression, she hesitated and reluctantly nodded, "Okay then."
Noticing her low spirits, Shi Yaoguang entrusted her with the two people still climbing the mountain.
"Haven’t you accepted disciples yet? I’ve found two good seeds for you."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Lingdang’s spirits lifted imdiately.
Shen Huan, upon his return, boasted about his disciples being brought by Shi Yaoguang.
She couldn’t help but feel a pang of jealousy.
Though, for the sake of appearances, she didn’t show it.
Unexpectedly, her Master was so considerate!
Indeed, she was Master’s most beloved little treasure!
As Cheng Lingdang was thinking of this, she heard Shi Yaoguang say, "They are still undergoing the Sect’s trials. Once they pass, you can take them back with you."
Cheng Lingdang nodded.
She beca curious again, "Master, were my disciples personally sought out by you?"
Shi Yaoguang hesitated and then nodded.
Xiao Shanghe and Zhen Yunjin, from so perspective, were indeed found by her.
Given Cheng Lingdang’s assumption that they were intentionally sought for her, there was no harm in agreeing.
Cheng Lingdang didn’t understand Shi Yaoguang’s indirect reasoning.
In her view, the Master specifically helped her find two disciples!
Though Shen Huan received similar treatnt,
compared to her, it was still lacking.
She hadn’t even said a word about wanting disciples, and Master had already delivered them.
Heh heh.
Joy!
Unable to contain her excitent and anticipation, Cheng Lingdang hurried to the Sect to find her disciples.
After she left, Shi Yaoguang asked Shen Antai about recent happenings in the taphysics Organization.
If there weren’t issues, they wouldn’t have tricky problems needing her intervention.
After packing a few Magic Artifacts and putting them in the Space Button, Shen Antai was ready for anything.
Upon hearing Shi Yaoguang’s inquiry, he didn’t know much either.
But he wasn’t entirely clueless.
"I heard a remarkable figure erged in Jianglin City."
Shen Antai hadn’t looked into it himself, "I only overheard President An ntion it, seems like a young man from a small place..."
After hearing Shen Antai, Shi Yaoguang felt an odd sensation.
It felt as if...
This story was sowhat...
Familiar?
A young man from a small place.
Suddenly becoming famous overnight.
Stirring up storms, creating upheaval.
The more she thought, the more she felt sothing was off about it.
Noticing Shi Yaoguang’s serious expression, Shen Antai also felt a slight sense of foreboding.
"Master, could President An be in danger?"
Shi Yaoguang asked, "How’s the relationship between President An and that young man?"
"This..."
Shen Antai thought aloud, sharing his impression, "Perhaps it’s... okay?"
Hearing his uncertain tone, Shi Yaoguang squinted slightly, "Perhaps?"
Shen Antai sighed, "When President An brought this up, he didn’t elaborate much..."
"At that ti, the young man seed to want to join the organization but was rejected by President An."
"Rejected?" Shi Yaoguang furrowed her brows, "Does that an President An and he had a falling out?"
Shen Antai considered this and shook his head, "I don’t think it was quite a fallout?"
With President An’s reputation, it wasn’t likely to escalate to hostility, let alone conflict.
Not speaking excessive words, even if spoken, wouldn’t cause imdiate ill feelings, warranting animosity.
Shi Yaoguang saw his reasoning.
However...
Things might not be as he thinks.
Seeing this, Shen Antai couldn’t help but worry: "President An won’t be in trouble, will he?"
"I can’t say for sure." Shi Yaoguang sighed, "Let’s head out imdiately."
Shen Antai nodded solemnly, "Okay!"
Thus, when Cheng Lingdang returned with her two young disciples, Shi Yaoguang had already left.
Cheng Lingdang: "???"
Where did my promised disciples go?
