Chapter 9: Brother, I want to go back and be a good person_1

"Sect Master, Sect Master..."

Li Daoran looked up and immediately found it was Wang Tingfei.

"Ting Fei, what's wrong? Weren't you in charge of welcoming the junior brothers and sisters?"

"Why did you run here?" Li Daoran asked.

"Sect Master...Sect Master, it's not like that."

Wang Tingfei, panting heavily, said:

"Sect Master, it's not, I just learned an incredibly shocking piece of news."

"The junior sister named Mao Ruxue did not miss our peak's recruitment information and didn't come, she initially went directly to Daozang Mountain."

Wang Tingfei only managed to deliver the whole message after a long pause.

"What, Mao Ruxue has gone to Daozang Mountain??"

Upon hearing this, Li Daoran was slightly stunned.

He looked at Wang Tingfei in disbelief and asked:

"Ting Fei, are you sure that the disciple taken by Daozang Mountain is really called Mao Ruxue?"

"Is it that Mao Ruxue was taken by another mountain gate and you are just messing with me?"

Li Daoran knew when Chen Chang'an of Daozang Mountain had left, and also knew that Chen Chang'an had taken a female disciple when he left.

When he glimpsed at that female disciple, Li Daoran had felt a sense of familiarity.

But he didn't think much of it at that time.

So, you, Wang Tingfei, are now telling me that the disciple he took is Mao Ruxue??

Intuition told Li Daoran that Wang Tingfei was definitely lying.

"Sect Master, I am not lying to you, the disciple Daozang Mountain accepted is indeed named Mao Ruxue."

Seeing that Li Daoran didn't believe him, Wang Tingfei became so anxious that he broke into a sweat.

"If you don't believe me Sect Master, look at the sect's roster. This is how it's recorded."

While saying this, Wang Tingfei took out a yellow book from his bosom.

The yellow book was none other than the roster of the Tianshui Sect's disciples.

Only the names of the official disciples confirmed by the various peaks appear on it.

Li Daoran took the yellow book and turned it to the page of Daozang Mountain.

It clearly stated on it:

"Today, I, Chen Chang'an, the thirty-eighth Mount Lord of Daozang Mountain, took in the disciple Mao Ruxue on behalf of Master Yang Han at the thirty-ninth recruitment of the Tianshui Sect. The words on this page are proof!"

"I, 'Mao Ruxue' agree to cultivate at Daozang Mountain. The words on this page are proof!"

"Party A signature: Chen Chang'an. Party B signature: Mao Ruxue"

"Seal: ※※※※"

"God, how is this possible?"

Having read the information, Li Daoran couldn't help but vent out a slew of old curses.

Before the start of today's recruitment ceremony, it wasn't like he hadn't considered the possibility that Mao Ruxue might be taken by other fairly powerful mountain gates.

But in here, Daozang Mountain has never been considered at all.

As a result, this most improbable outcome happened.

"What should we do now, Sect Master?" Wang Tingfei asked cautiously.

Being Li Daoran's handy little helper, Wang Tingfei knew.

Regarding this Mao Ruxue issue

The Sect Master had paid great attention to it.

For instance, just last night, in order to be prepared for all eventualities, the Sect Master had secretly informed all the leaders of the other 106 mountains in the sect about this matter.

The seemingly foolproof plan turned out like this; wouldn't the Sect Master be outraged?

What else can I do?

Daozang Mountain is also a part of the Tianshui Sect, and I, as a Sect Master, can't just shamelessly run over there and snatch her back, can I?

On hearing Wang Tingfei's words, Li Daoran really felt like hitting someone.

But, that's not feasible.

"Forget it, let's leave it at that, let's go back."

Having said this, he sighed helplessly, shook his head and walked away.

Flowers bloom on both ends, each bearing a branch.

While Li Daoran was grieving over Mao Ruxue's departure, two figures appeared at the foot of Daozang mountain.

"Senior brother, this mountain is so high, we really have to climb up?"

Arriving at the foot of the mountain, upon seeing the peak stretching into the clouds and the steep stone stairs that seemed to go on forever, Mao Ruxue's heart trembled.

"You can also fly, of course, if you can fly." Chen Chang'an stepped onto the stone stairs and said without looking back.

"I...."

"emmm...." Mao Ruxue's face immediately turned bitter.

Regardless of how much of a prodigy she was, she had only just reached the second realm.

The divine skill of riding the sword can only be mastered by Great Cultivators in the late stage of the second realm.

How could she fly now!

Thinking about the imminent scaling of the high mountain, Mao Ruxue's legs were trembling.

But for the sake of her ultimate goal, she gritted her teeth and continued following Chen Chang'an's steps.

Ten minutes later.

"Senior brother, can I back out now? I don't want to go up the mountain with you. I want to go back and be a normal person."

"No."

"You signed the paper with black and white, you belong to my Daozang Mountain now."

"Unless you're dead, you can't change that."

"..." Mao Ruxue.

Thirty minutes later.

"Senior brother, can we send a message asking the elders on the mountain to pick us up?"

"Silly junior sister, what are you talking about? There are only two of us on the mountain, where are the elders?"

"But, don't we have a master too? The master is also an elder."

"Master? Junior sister, where did you get such news? Yes, we do have a master, but the old fella has been in the ground for over ten years, his bones have probably turned to dust by now."

"No rush, we will meet him in a bit."

Mao Ruxue: "....."

For some reason, at this moment, Mao Ruxue suddenly felt as if she had made an idiotic choice.

"Kneel down."

"Bow."

"Offer tea."

Thirty minutes later, the two finally arrived at the mountain top.

The first thing that caught their eyes was a well-kept earth mound.

Reaching the mound, Chen Chang'an instructed Mao Ruxue,

"Oh, senior brother."

Seeing this mound, Mao Ruxue felt as if a great burden had been lifted.

Following what Chen Chang'an said, she knelt in front of the mound and firmly hit her head against it three times.

"Master in heaven, please accept your disciple's bow."

"Master, please have some tea."

After the rites, she took the tea from Chen Chang'an's hand, offered it respectfully to the mound,

And then sprinkled the tea onto the ground.

Thus, the rituals were completed.

From this moment on, Mao Ruxue officially joined Daozang Mountain, becoming a disciple of the mountain.

"Alright that's enough, junior sister, you can get up."

"Congratulations, Sister Mao, from now on, you will be the eldest sister among the thirty-eighth generation of disciples on my Daozang Mountain."

After finishing the ceremony, Chen Chang'an nodded to indicate that Mao Ruxue could stand up.

"Thank you, senior brother."

Mao Ruxue was delighted to hear this.

Finally the initiation is completed, the hardship was not in vain.

From today, those stupid disciples must call me their uncle.

"Then senior brother, what should we do next?"

"Is it time for initiation of techniques, or the law?" Mao Ruxue immediately asked.
