"Dad! Dad!"
Just then, Liu Qingdai’s voice once again reached their ears.
They turned their heads, only to see Liu Qingdai and Bai Luqiu had already returned.
So quickly? they both thought.
"Your junior sister is still young. This matter can be discussed later." Liu Qingxuan frowned but didn’t outright refuse.
Mu Yunqing did indeed possess exceptional talent. Otherwise, Liu Qingxuan wouldn’t have accepted him as a disciple. He was comndable in other respects too, adored by the other disciples of the Righteous Sun Sect. But these mattered little to Liu Qingxuan. His daughter’s lifelong happiness wasn’t greatly related to these things. What mattered most was her own preference.
"Master, I understand," Mu Yunqing said with a smile, nodding.
He knew this was a matter he absolutely must rember.
"Who is that person?"
Soon, Liu Qingxuan noticed a third person standing upon the seven-colored auspicious cloud. Mu Yunqing also looked in that direction.
Before the two could get a clear view, Liu Qingdai landed first, alighting beside Liu Qingxuan. She wrapped her arm around his and said coquettishly, "Dad, I’m back! Aren’t you happy to see ?"
"If you have sothing to say, spit it out." Liu Qingxuan coughed, feigning severity, but inwardly he was beaming.
Happy? Of course, he was happy. If only every day could be like this.
"Dad, I found a promising candidate! Why don’t you take him as a disciple?"
"A disciple?" Both Liu Qingxuan and Mu Yunqing were taken aback.
Their gazes imdiately sharpened, focusing on Wang Shouzhen’s figure.
No wonder they returned so quickly. So that was the reason, Liu Qingxuan mused.
Seeing Liu Qingxuan, Wen Zhixing felt no great turmoil in his heart. On the way here, he had already learned who his prospective Master was to be. He just hadn’t expected Mu Yunqing to be present as well.
Who would have thought that both Mu Yunqing and Bai Luqiu are disciples of the Righteous Sun Sect’s Sect Master? What a twist of fate. Their statuses are certainly not ordinary, Wen Zhixing figured.
"So it’s Junior Brother Wang Shouzhen." At that mont, Mu Yunqing also rembered who the person before him was.
No wonder the na Wang Shouzhen sounded so familiar. Indeed, I have seen him before, he recalled.
"Yun Qing, you know him as well?" Liu Qingxuan turned to look at Mu Yunqing.
"We’ve t once," Mu Yunqing nodded and smiled, adding, "I just don’t know how Junior Sister and the others beca acquainted with him."
Liu Qingxuan naturally knew how they had t, but he didn’t offer an explanation.
"Wang Shouzhen pays his respects to the Sect Master and to Brother Mu," Wen Zhixing stepped forward, bowing respectfully to the two, neither servile nor arrogant.
I’ll probably have to appear diocre, he quickly calculated in his mind. I know Mu Yunqing’s character all too well. Upon learning about my Pure Yang Body, he wanted to eliminate secretly. My current strength isn’t formidable enough, so I can’t afford to be too conspicuous.
"No need for excessive formalities." Liu Qingxuan didn’t make things difficult for Wen Zhixing and calmly nodded.
Seeing this, Mu Yunqing, standing to one side, smiled amiably and said, "For Junior Sister to have taken notice of him, Junior Brother Wang must be quite talented."
"Senior Brother, you flatter ," Wen Zhixing gently shook his head, replying earnestly, "My talent is average."
"TSK." Hearing this, Liu Qingdai standing nearby showed a look of disdain. Such a poser!
"All of you may leave now." At that mont, Liu Qingxuan suddenly spoke up, waving his hand to the others.
"Dad..." Liu Qingdai wanted to say more but was pulled aside by Bai Luqiu.
Whether one could beco a disciple or not depended on the Master’s will. This was no small matter.
Seeing this, Liu Qingdai relented and retreated with Bai Luqiu.
I hope Dad doesn’t misjudge him, she thought.
"Junior Brother Wang, make sure you perform well." Mu Yunqing smiled as he rose, seemingly pleased at the prospect of gaining a new junior brother. "I suspect I’ll be calling you ’Little Junior Brother’ soon enough."
But as soon as he turned around, his brow furrowed.
Little Junior Brother? he thought. Wouldn’t that an another potential threat? He couldn’t tolerate anyone posing a threat to him. Not even a slight one.
Wen Zhixing, who was well aware of Mu Yunqing’s true nature, sneered inwardly.
After everyone had left, Liu Qingxuan looked towards Wen Zhixing, his gaze penetrating. Then, he spoke indifferently, "Alright, they’re gone now. Show your true self."
Upon hearing these words, Wen Zhixing’s expression suddenly stiffened.
Had Liu Qingxuan actually seen through his Thousand-faced Illusion Body this ti?
