Chapter 2.1

The Grand Ceremony (1)

At this moment, a voice came behind them, “What are you two mumbling about?”

When the two disciples heard the sound, they quickly turned around and saluted toward the other party, “Senior Sister Lu!”

Standing in front of the two of them at this time was a girl who looked to be only eighteen or nineteen years old. She was wearing a white dress, as graceful as a fairy, with an extraordinary temperament. However, her face was as cold as frost. At first glance, one could almost mistake that just by her icy countenance, she can freeze people to death.

When the girl looked at the two of them, she frowned slightly and asked calmly, “What were you talking about just now?”

“Ah, this…”

The two couldn’t help but look at each other, not knowing how to answer for a while.

The girl snorted coldly and said, “Stop gossiping and talking behind other people’s backs from now on.”

After that, she left without waiting for a reply from the stunned disciples.

The girl’s name was Lu Qingyuan, a disciple of Taiwei Sect’s Du Yuanxi. Du Yuanxi was Qing Yangzi’s junior sister. In addition to Qing Yangzi, there existed another senior of the same generation named Qin Zhao. These three brothers and sisters were the only three remaining disciples when Taiwei Sect was at its lowest point during its decline.

When Qing Yangzi took over the responsibility of being the leader of the sect, the three brothers and sisters thought that they might be the last three disciples and consequently, the last generation of Taiwei Sect. The three of them even made plans to divide the family property.

Unexpectedly, the Feng Shao that Qing Yangzi picked up from the snow would help the sect survive such a desperate situation.

Lu Qingyuan was Du Yuanxi’s third disciple, and there were two senior sisters in front of her. Three years ago, Du Yuanxi also accepted a fourth disciple, but this time Du Yuanxi unexpectedly accepted a male disciple.

According to Du Yuanxi, their lineage’s yin was prosperous and yang was declining, so they needed a male disciple to balance it out.

Lu Qingyuan didn’t know what the two senior sisters thought, but she felt that the master’s remarks were purely an excuse.

Among the younger generation of disciples of Taiwei Sect, Lu Qingyuan can be regarded as the most beautiful woman. For this reason, many people believed that only Lu Qingyuan was worthy of Feng Shao, the great hero of Taiwei Sect’s resurgence, which was why many disciples had been discussing this in private.

But Lu Qingyuan was extremely disgusted by this because she didn’t like the feeling of the situation being like an arranged marriage. Although the master and the uncle-master had also considered this, Lu Qingyuan just couldn’t get interested in Feng Shao.

She didn’t know if Feng Shao was really interested in her or if there was some other reason, but Feng Shao did care about her more than other disciples, and this only made Lu Qingyuan not want to have too much contact with Feng Shao.

In comparison, she felt that her junior brother who grew up in the market was more in line with her wishes.

But after today, Feng Shao, who was originally just the most senior brother, would be promoted to the Holy Son of Taiwei Sect. The Holy Son can act as the head of the sect, and given Feng Shao’s importance to the sect, it could be said that as long as Feng Shao’s demands were not too excessive, then master and uncle-master would give and offer their full support. If that time comes and Feng Shao really wants to do something to him, how could she refuse?

Thinking of this, Lu Qingyuan couldn’t help but frown.

Just as Lu Qingyuan was walking on the road with deep thoughts, a slightly frivolous voice suddenly shouted, “Third Senior Sister!”

Lu Qingyuan looked in the direction where the sound came from and saw her junior brother Ye Chen looking at her with a smile on his face.

Ye Chen said with a smile, “Third Senior Sister, why do I think you looked so preoccupied? Have you encountered any difficulties? Why don’t you speak and let Junior Brother hear it? Maybe I, your Junior Brother, can find a way to solve it for Senior Sister?”

Lu Qingyuan shook his head and smiled bitterly, “Junior brother, don’t say it even as a joke! If I actually encounter a problem that I can’t solve myself, what’s the use of telling you?”

Ye Chen shrugged and said, “Senior Sister, I can make some guesses even if you don’t tell me. Senior Sister should be worried about what that Feng Shao will do to Senior Sister after becoming the Holy Son today, right?”

Lu Qingyuan frowned, “Junior brother, after all, Senior Brother Feng is the eldest disciple of the sect. And after today, he will be the Holy Son of our Taiwei Sect. You should be more polite when talking about Senior Brother Feng.”

Ye Chen said with disdain, “What qualifications does a guy who has practiced for thirty years without cultivating to the golden core have to be a holy son? He only relies on the fact that he is the disciple of the head of the sect in doing oppressive things in front of others. He’s not any better than other disciples like us.”

Lu Qingyuan remained silent upon hearing him speak. Even though she had no feelings for Feng Shao, she couldn’t agree with Ye Chen’s words. Everyone had seen how Feng Shao had treated his junior brothers and sisters over the years.
