Matters at the Profound Beast Taming Sect Concluded
Lu Ping was speechless. Little A and Little B could actually have chosen each other together.
Why does it have to be either one or the other?
Oh well, never mind.
Lu Ping chose A.
[You chose A.]
[You took out two Spirit Beast Bag and a Storage Ring, and handed them over.]
That's Zhu Wanshan's entire fortune.
[You were never a Beast Tamer to begin with. You kept the things from Zhu Wanshan only to disguise yourself as the Grand Elder.]
[Now, there's no longer any need for you to hide this identity.]
[In the Storage Ring, the medicinal herbs and materials you need have already been selected; the rest have all been left for Qinghe.]
The legacy of a Nascent Soul Perfection stage cultivator is undeniably substantial.
[As for the Spirit Beast Bag, all the high-level Spirit Beasts that Zhu Wanshan painstakingly collected are inside. You handed them over to Qinghe untouched.]
[Incidentally, you also stuffed the Spirit Beast Bag you'd swiped from Zhao Kangquan years ago into her hands.]
[Qinghe looked at the Storage Ring and Spirit Beast Bag being stuffed into her hand, her fingers slightly tightening.]
[Then came a whole bunch of Pills and Talisman, even three Star River Talisman and five bottles of pseudo- Taiyi Origin-Returning Pills.]
[She was precocious; seeing your actions, she immediately guessed what was going on.]
A hint of longing flashed in Qinghe's eyes, but she didn't ask a single question.
[He usually maintains a cool and composed demeanor, like a little adult, but now he has completely hidden it.]
[She tilted her head back, her eyes crinkling into a sweet smile.]
"Thank you, Uncle-Master!"
[Qinghe didn't stand on ceremony at all, deftly gathering all the things into her arms and holding them tightly.]
"I want everything that my martial uncle gives me."
[That combination of obedience and slyness was incredibly endearing.]
[You looked at her and reached out to pat her head.]
[The last thing is to return the position of Sect Master to her.]
[Day Two.]
[Above the Profound Beast Taming Sect's Mountain-Protection Grand Formation, a bell tolled nine times, its sound echoing throughout the Nine Peaks and One Valley.]
[The Main Peak hall of Beast-Taming Peak.]
[The Peak Master and the elders of each hall gathered once again.]
[You are still wearing that Black-Silk Feathered Sky-Patrol Robe, sitting in the seat of the Acting Sect Master.]
[But this time, standing beside you is Qinghe, Nascent Soul Realm cultivator.]
The crowd below stared at Qinghe, their eyes practically bulging out of their sockets, their expressions filled with disbelief.
[After two months of seclusion, he advanced directly from the Golden Core to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage?]
What kind of monster is this?
Before they could recover from their shock, you announced the purpose of the gathering.
"Effective immediately, Qinghe assumes the position of Sect Master of the Profound Beast Taming Sect."
The hall erupted in chaos.
[Let a young girl under twenty become the Sect Master? This is utterly ridiculous!]
[Although, in fact, it was Qinghe who had been managing the sect all along.]
But can that be the same?
[Grand Elder, I can't object. You're just a young girl, how can we not object?]
Wang Guihe of the Human Venerable Sect was the first to step forward.
"Grand Elder, this is absolutely unacceptable! The position of Sect Master concerns the sect's long-term foundation; how can it be handled so carelessly!"
"That's right! She's just a callow youth, what makes her worthy of sitting in the position of Sect Master?"
"We refuse to accept this!"
The elders of the Human Venerable Sect echoed their sentiments, their emotions running high.
Even among the Beast Venerable Sect, many people showed hesitation.
[You look at the noisy crowd below, your face expressionless.]
[Just then, a terrifying pressure descended from the direction of the Myriad Spirits Valley.]
The oppressive aura swept across the entire hall, making everyone feel as if an invisible mountain was pressing down on them, making it difficult to even breathe.
A clear, cold female voice rang out in everyone's Divine Sense.
"Who has a problem with this?"
[Wang Guihe and the others turned deathly pale, their legs went weak, and they almost knelt down.]
[It's Azure Feather Ancestor!]
[Judging from this stance, they're clearly supporting Qinghe!]
[Only then did they understand why the Acting Sect Master dared to make such a startling decision.]
[You look at the crowd below, who has instantly fallen silent, and speak calmly.]
"It seems everyone agrees."
"Then, pay your respects to the new Sect Master."
Wang Guihe, his face covered in cold sweat, was the first to bow down.
"Greetings, Sect Master!"
[With someone taking the lead, the rest dared not hesitate for a moment and bowed down in unison.]
"We pay our respects to the Sect Master!"
[Qinghe stood on the high platform, looking down at the kneeling crowd below, her expression cold and indifferent, yet unmoved.]
[Having served as "Acting Sect Master" for several years, she had long been accustomed to such scenes.]
On the day of the grand ceremony, Great Sects in the Cangxuan Central Region came to offer their congratulations.
[Most surprisingly, the Sect Master of the number one sect in the Cangxuan Central Region, the Supreme Mystery Sect, actually came in person.]
The Sect Master the Supreme Mystery Sect not only personally offered his congratulations, but also sent a large amount of rare resources.
[Among them was even a treasured Law Treasure of the Profound Beast Taming Sect, lost a thousand years ago: the Profound Spirit Seal.]
The Sect Master the Supreme Mystery Sect, beaming, repeatedly cupped his hands in greeting to Qinghe.
"Upon hearing that Azure Feather Ancestor of the Profound Beast Taming Sect has emerged from seclusion, the entire Supreme Mystery Sect is overjoyed and has specially returned this item to its rightful owner to forge a friendship between the two sects."
Qinghe glanced at you habitually.
[Options pop up.]
[A: Qinghe has grown up and is making her own decisions.]
[B: Little Supreme Mystery Sect, since you're here, stay.]
[C: Present the Sect Master of the Supreme Mystery Sect with a "Calculation Sheet for Law Treasure and Late Payment of Magical Treasures," demanding that the other party pay the storage fees and compensation for emotional distress incurred over the past thousand years, totaling 32 million high-grade Spirit Stones.]
Ah, my child has grown up?!
Lu Ping chose A.
[You chose A.]
[You didn't look at her, but instead transmitted your voice.]
"Why are you looking at me? You're the Sect Master now."
Qinghe was slightly taken aback, then understood.
She stepped forward and gracefully accepted the Profound Spirit Seal.
"Many Supreme Mystery Sect the Sect Master Profound Beast Taming Sect will remember it."
[Qinghe handled the situation appropriately, knowing when to advance and when to retreat.]
The succession ceremony was a grand and spectacular affair.
With Azure Feather Luan Profound Beast Taming Sect in charge and Qinghe, an eighteen-year-old genius Sect Master at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, the position of the number one sect in the Cangxuan Central Region will likely change hands soon.
[After the grand ceremony concluded, the Profound Beast Taming Sect returned to normal operations.]
[Looking at the thriving scene within the sect, you know it's time for you to leave.]
[You found Qinghe and said goodbye to her.]
[ At the Returning to Truth Peak, a sea of clouds surges.]
[Qinghe, dressed in Sect Master's robe embroidered with a dark Azure Luan phoenix pattern, quietly watches you.]
"Uncle-Master, are you leaving?"
["Um."]
You nodded.
"The sect is back on track. With Qingyu here, no one will dare to bully you. I should go and do my own thing now."
[Your eleven-year promise with Wuming is almost up.]
[Qingyang City, it's time to make a trip there.]
[Qinghe remained silent for a moment, then took out a token.]
"Uncle-Master, this is the Grand Supreme Elder Token of the Profound Beast Taming Sect. With this token, you can mobilize all the sect's resources."
"No matter where you are, Martial Uncle, the Profound Beast Taming Sect will always be your support."
[The name "Lu Ping" is clearly engraved on this token.]
[Options pop up.]
[A: He accepted the token, offered her a few words of encouragement, and then left.]
[B: Refuse the token, tell her the world is vast and we need not meet again.]
[C: Calmly accepting the token, then looking up at a 45-degree angle, revealing an expression that was three parts indifferent, three parts disdainful, and four parts nonchalant, "You can just freely allocate sect resources? Then I want that ancient bird from the Back Mountain as my personal mount! And, I'll call it 'Uncle-Master' with utmost respect!"]
