"This disciple greets Master!"
Mu Yan respectfully cupped his hands toward Ye Chen on the throne.
Mu Lei and Gu Yingluo looked up curiously, only to be awestruck at first glance!
In their eyes, the person seated on the throne was incomparably towering, rivaling the entire starry universe in scale. Behind him was not the great hall, but a distant expanse of stars!
His existence was like the very beginning of a great world's birth!
This was the first time in their lives they had felt such soul-deep shock and fear!
When they looked a second time, all those illusions vanished. All they saw was a young man who appeared even younger than Mu Yan!
The young man was handsome, with perfect features and an otherworldly bearing. Dao resonance flowed with his every movement.
If the world had to choose its most beautiful person, that distinction would unquestionably belong to this young man!
"So this is Yan'er's master? Truly unfathomable! He must be an expert living in seclusion!"
Mu Lei bowed his head deeply, not daring to look at Ye Chen again.
Gu Yingluo was the same. In her heart, Brother Mu Yan had always been the most handsome, but only after seeing Ye Chen did she understand what the true pinnacle of good looks was!
Yet she dared not harbor any feelings of admiration for the person above her. All she felt was reverence and fear!
"My disciple, your handling of your visit to your Lineage did not quite meet my expectations."
Ye Chen spoke calmly.
Those few words left Mu Yan feeling as though a bucket of ice water had been poured over him, chilling him from head to toe!
"This disciple was negligent. Please punish me, Master!" Though he did not know why his master was dissatisfied, kneeling first to beg forgiveness certainly could not be wrong.
Ye Chen said, "You killed the Gold and Jade Sect's young sect master. Did you think the Gold and Jade Sect would do nothing?"
Hearing his master's words, Mu Yan raised his head in confusion, not understanding what his master meant.
Though Mu Lei and Gu Yingluo dared not show any expression, inwardly they were already stunned!
Mu Yan's master actually knew everything that had happened at the Mu Household?
How had he done it?
Seeing that Mu Yan did not quite understand, Ye Chen sighed inwardly. It seemed this disciple was still a little dense, not clever enough.
So he had to spell it out. "Rather than waiting for the Gold and Jade Sect to come knocking and cause trouble, why didn't you strike first and storm the Gold and Jade Sect? Kill until they're terrified, and who would still dare hold a grudge against you?"
"Huh?"
Mu Yan, Mu Lei, and Gu Yingluo were utterly dumbstruck on the spot.
Storm the Gold and Jade Sect?
A kid at the Golden Core Realm Fourth Layer, storming the Gold and Jade Sect outright?
Was that possible?
Mu Yan had never dared think that way. At most, he had planned to deal with the Gold and Jade Sect once he became stronger.
His master's words left him frozen in a daze!
Ye Chen patiently instructed him, "My disciple, sitting around waiting to die has never been the principle of our Kunlun Holy Land."
"Remember, whatever you do, it is never your affair alone. When you venture out into the world, you represent the entire Kunlun Holy Land. Do you understand?"
Ye Chen's words were like wisdom poured over Mu Yan's head, bringing him sudden enlightenment!
He understood!
"This disciple understands! I was too cautious before. If given another chance, I would definitely storm the Gold and Jade Sect!"
Mu Yan's voice rang firm and powerful, every word striking the ground with force. His mind opened up, and he understood where he had gone wrong.
On the surface, he was merely a reckless cultivator at the Golden Core Realm Fourth Layer who did not know his own limits.
The Gold and Jade Sect had countless cultivators at that realm!
But in reality, he represented Kunlun Holy Land's face, and his master would not stand by and watch him be beaten to death!
Only after seeing that Mu Yan had grasped Kunlun Holy Land's code of conduct did Ye Chen nod in satisfaction.
"In short, when you venture out into the world, do not disgrace the sect, no matter what."
After his master's careful instruction, Mu Yan was thoroughly enlightened, and his admiration for his master grew further.
As expected of Master! Even the way he considers things is different from ordinary people. I am still far too lacking compared with him!
Mu Lei and Gu Yingluo were completely dumbfounded as they listened to the conversation between master and disciple.
In their understanding, the Gold and Jade Sect was still a colossal behemoth that absolutely could not be provoked.
They could hardly get away fast enough, so who would willingly show up at its doorstep?
Yet Mu Yan's master was actually telling Mu Yan to storm the Gold and Jade Sect himself, simply to avoid disgracing the sect?
And the crucial thing was, Mu Yan had actually listened?
This... just what kind of sect was this?
Still, they understood that other sects would most likely die doing this, but Kunlun Holy Land was mysterious and unfathomable. It really did have the confidence to back it up!
Mu Yan declared loudly, "Master, how about I head out right now?"
Ye Chen helplessly pressed a hand to his forehead. "There is no need to rush. There will be a gathering of geniuses in the Subduing Dragon Mountain Range tomorrow. Come with me."
The system had previously given him a mission to accept a disciple at the gathering of geniuses in the Subduing Dragon Mountain Range.
Counting the days, the gathering of geniuses would officially begin tomorrow.
Mu Yan was somewhat puzzled. The Subduing Dragon Mountain Range?
He had heard of it. It was very far away, not in the Azure Heaven Region at all, but in the Falling Moon Region.
Several other regions lay between the Falling Moon Region and the Azure Heaven Region!
Why had his master suddenly thought of going somewhere so far away?
But he did not ask much. Since his master wanted him to follow, he would simply follow.
"By the way, Master, this is my father, and this is my fiancée. I would like them to live within the sect. Would that be possible?"
Mu Yan asked somewhat apprehensively.
Naturally, Ye Chen did not mind such a trivial matter.
Kunlun Holy Land was so vast that arranging for a few people to move in was no problem.
"You are my chief disciple, second only to me in status and standing. You may decide for yourself," Ye Chen said.
Seeing that his master was letting him decide, Mu Yan hurriedly thanked him in excitement. Mu Lei and Gu Yingluo were also overjoyed.
After settling these matters, Ye Chen looked at Gu Yingluo.
He had already examined Gu Yingluo's aptitude.
Gu Yingluo, emperor-grade aptitude!
The Supreme Immortal Physique!
Unfortunately, her Supreme Immortal Physique was currently unawakened. If awakened, she could soar into the heavens in a single bound, with a slim possibility of attaining the position of Immortal Emperor in the future.
But the conditions for awakening it were also very demanding. She might never manage to awaken it in her entire life.
"Gu Yingluo, are you willing to take me as your master?" Ye Chen asked with a smile.
Gu Yingluo, who had been tense and reserved all this time, had never expected this great figure to speak to her personally!
Had I heard that right? He even wanted to accept me as his disciple?
To Gu Yingluo, it was as though an enormous mountain of treasure had come crashing down onto her head. Her mind buzzed, and she stood there as stunned as a block of wood.
Had Mu Yan not quietly tugged at her clothes beside her, she would not have dared believe this was real!
Thud!
Knowing that an unprecedentedly great fortuitous opportunity had arrived, Gu Yingluo hurriedly knelt and kowtowed in wild delight.
The girl really put her heart into it. After several resounding thumps of her head, even the floor tiles were about to crack!
"This disciple, Gu Yingluo, greets Master!" Gu Yingluo said loudly.
[Ding! Detected that the host has accepted a disciple with emperor-grade aptitude. System rewards are being issued...]
