Keiraâs pupils shrank slightly at the sight of the familiar
figure in the photo.
âThis, this⦠isnât this my Master?â
She immediately froze, then looked toward James, suddenly recalling his words.
âThe eldest senior sister started her apprenticeship at fifteen, practicing martial arts every day for twohours
with the Sect Leaderâ¦
âThe eldest senior sister grew up in a rough
environment, used to getting beaten, and developed a strong physiqueâ¦
âThe Sect Leader went on a study journey for three years and returned a few years ago, saying thatwhen the eldest senior sister turned twenty-three, she
would return to Freeman Sectâ¦
âMaster also said that when she turned twenty-three and graduated from university, he would go tofetch
her.â
Soâ¦
âHave I been kept in the dark all this time?
âThe Freeman Sectâs eldest senior sister, is that me?!â
Keira slowly turned to look at James againâ¦
Thinking about how every time she competed in the Freeman Sect, she was always terrified of losing,but it seemed like she always won quite easilyâ¦
Keira couldnât help but slap her forehead.
The first day she met the Sect Leader, she had a vague sense of familiarity. How could she not havethought of this possibility!
The cooperation with Freeman Sect was handed to her on a silver platter!
James watched her behavior, puzzled, and said, âSister, do you think the Sect Leader just now lookedugly? Actually, heâs quite handsomeâ¦â
Kate then said, âI donât know whatâs wrong with the Sect Leader. Why does he keep crying!â
Chris added. âKeera, you should prepare yourself. Come tomorrow to officially become a disciple. Iâllaccept you as an Inner Sect Disciple!â

Upon hearing this, James was stunned. âWhat? Master, wasnât it supposed to be as a nominaldisciple?â
Trevor looked at Keira with a face full of joy. âOf coursen/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
not, with her talent, she must be an Inner Sect Disciple!â
James was dumbfounded.
He and Kate, escorting Keira, left the building.
On the way, the two whispered to each other.
James said, âI suddenly remember, when Master sparred with Sister, didnât she push him back severalsteps with a single punch?â
Kate nodded. âMy dad finally did something
human-like, knowing to go easy on Keera! But isnât accepting her as an Inner Sect Disciple a bit toomuch?â
James rubbed his chin. âMaster must have decided to give Keera some reward because of me. Letâsmake do with Inner Sect Disciple then. The main concern is that if others found out, they might becomejealous and constantly challenge Keera to a fight!â
Indeed, within Freeman Sect, there was a rule
11.17
O
forbidding striking oneâs elders, the hierarchy was strict.
But there was still a way around it, which was to issue a challenge!
If the other party agreed, then they could arrange a match in the Martial Arts Hall.
Those with minor grievances typically resolved their issues this way.
If Keera became an Inner Sect Disciple, it would undoubtedly cause unrest among the Outer SectDisciples and even some hardworking Inner Sect Disciples, who might then all issue her challenges.
Should she accept, or should she not?
Kate also began to worry. âDad was always measured in his actions. Originally, he agreed on her beinga nominal disciple. How did it turn into Inner Sect Disciple?! But thereâs an old saying, âWhere thereâs awill, thereâs a way!â Maybe Dad was just testing her just now and got excited by the hunt. Keera isindeed very capable!â
James coughed, pulling a face. âImpossible. Do you think everyone is the eldest senior sister?Becoming
an Inner Sect Disciple at this age is just for fitness and martial arts. She wonât become a peerlessmaster.â
The two chatted and left, but as they walked, they suddenly felt something was amiss.
Kate suddenly asked, âDid we forget something?â
James held her hand. âI also feel somethingâs not
rightâ¦â
The two exchanged a glance, then suddenly turned around, only to find that the sister who wassupposed to be behind them had disappeared!
James was dumbfounded.
So was Kate.
Keira did it on purpose.
She avoided the two of them and then headed toward the courtyard where the Sect Leader lived.
Now that she knew it was her Master, of course, she had to go and meet him.
Freeman Sect was vast, so she searched for a long time, finally finding the place James had taken herto
last time, then she quietly pushed the door open and sneaked into the courtyard.
She slowly made her way toward the room where the Sect Leader was.
In the room, Trevorâs tears just wouldnât stop.â
The talk about his junior disciple stirred up his sorrows again.
Trevor, crying and complaining, took a tissue and fiercely wiped his nose; his swollen features, whichwere hard to look at, immediately swelled even more.
Holding a boiled egg, he applied it to his eyes to give them some relief-the swelling was so severe hecould barely see!
Just then, the door opened.
Trevor said lazily, âWho is it? Didnât I say not to disturb
me? Leave!â
How could he show himself in this state!
Especially since he used to brag about the eldest senior sister in Freeman Sect, causing all the InnerSect Disciples to know that praising the eldest senior sister would make the Sect Leader happy!
So, almost everyone he met every day had to mention the junior disciple, needlessly increasing hissorrow!
While the Sect Leader was mulling over this, the person who entered the room didnât speak.
He knitted his brows.
Only then did he realize the footsteps of the person entering the room were very light.
Was that a capable martial practitioner?
Trevor immediately took the egg off his eyes and then stared with the eyes that could barely make outshapes, looking toward the person standing at the
door.
And little by little, he recognized the face of Keira.
Keira looked at him and said, âMaster, long time no
see.ânovelbin
Trevor was dumbfounded
