The Way of The Dao



Xuanyuan Ling was shocked as she looked at Ling Tian.

"Grand Master-"

"There you are, Junior Brother!"

Before Xuanyuan Ling could fully say the word that was about to come out, Pang Wuya's excited voice interrupted her as she turned towards Ling Tian as she met him with her gaze. Although he was the only male among all the women, there were many women and it was somewhat difficult to find him quickly, even more so when they were all around crowded together.

"Huh?" Xuanyuan Ling was shocked when she instantly heard Pang Wuya's manner of address towards Ling Tian and she quickly tried to correct, "Martial Sister, have more respect! He is-"

"So you are senior martial sister Xuanyuan Ling!? Master Lu had remarked to me that I would have a very great, powerful and amazing senior martial sister!"

However, Xuanyuan Ling's voice was again interrupted but this time by Ling Tian, who smiled with an innocent glow of admiration towards Xuanyuan Ling.

"S-senior martial sister?" Xuanyuan Ling stupefiedly hesitated as she did not understand what Ling Tian was doing. This Grandmaster of hers who she respected and adored was posing as a junior disciple in the sect? Becoming even her so-called junior martial brother?

Ling Tian smiled excitedly, but his joyful smile made several faces blush, getting lost in his very perfect face.

'It's been a while since I was in a sect really... let's see what I can learn~' Ling Tian thought as he chuckled inwardly, trying to contain his laughter.

"Looks like it's true..." An Yuqing added with a smile as she saw Xuanyuan Ling's expression, accepting it as if she was surprised to see her junior brother. If Xuanyuan Ling asked for respect for this junior brother, then it should be true!

"On one hand I thought that junior brother might be some imposter pretending to be a disciple of our Masters and Elders, but I didn't think that he would actually become great sister Ling's junior martial brother!" An Qinmeng let out a sigh of relief, lightly patting her attractive bosom.

"No... you..." Xuanyuan Ling couldn't say more than two words in a row as she tried to correct her martial sisters to have more respect in front of Ling Tian. Ling Tian is her Grandmaster, the respected and powerful Master of her Masters, therefore it is as if he is the Ancestor of the Sect! A supreme and powerful figure that everyone must show respect!

But Xuanyuan Ling could say no more when she saw Ling Tian's hidden intense gaze at her, somehow understanding her not to reveal his identity.

"Senior Sister, Master Lu is with the others?" Ling Tian suddenly asked with a small smile, making Xuanyuan Ling even more perplexed for a moment as she heard his manner of addressing her.

"M-Master Lu is currently in the Main Hall with the others. They are talking to all the so-called elders and leaders who were in charge of the sect..." Xuanyuan Ling replied somewhat at a loss, unable to get used to it.

Xuanyuan Ling had seen that the situation was stable at the moment, trusting her Master Lu. Therefore, she retreated from the place and decided to look for her martial sisters only to meet Ge Lian and learn about the whole situation that had happened in the Sect.

"Master Lu is here?"

"Elder Lu really is in the Sect!"

"Great! That really means that the Masters will be back!"

The women heard Xuanyuan Ling's reply and the next moment they were happily excited, shouting for joy and happily hugging each other.

If Master Lu Wuhu was at this moment in the Sect, that meant that the other Masters would return and take possession of the Sect again!

They would no longer be in hiding and would no longer suffer at last!

Sighs of relief and joy filled the place immediately.

"Hm?" Ling Tian raised his eyebrow slightly when he noticed a slight disturbance in space. Interestingly enough, the space disturbance came from the place where all the spiritual plants surrounded by formations where he was making some changes earlier.

"Looks like they will finally make a move..." Ling Tian whispered lightly, noticing the activations in the formations and arrays.

Immediately, Xuanyuan Ling also frowned as she felt a hint of spiritual energy around. But no matter how quickly she searched, she found nothing.

"Senior Sister Pang, all these beautiful senior sisters are all the senior martial sisters I have?"

Ling Tian suddenly asked Pang Wuya, his voice attracting everyone's gaze. Each and every face around blushed upon hearing Ling Tian's words, feeling nervous and excited.

"Junior brother has a sweet little mouth." Pang Wuya laughed with a playful touch, but her blush that was trying to go unnoticed betrayed her supposed calmness at Ling Tian's words.

"And yes! All these sisters you see here are the original and loyal martial sisters who didn't betray the Masters! We are both from the Unrestricted and Free Little Cloud Peak and the Wonderful Sun and Majestic Moon Twin Peaks!"

Pang Wuya pointed to all the women there, even highlighting that there were female disciples from both Sect Peaks.

"Unrestricted and Free Little Cloud Peak and Wonderful Sun and Majestic Moon Twin Peaks?" Ling Tian was a little surprised to hear the names of the Peaks. Each Sect Peak was a like section, a small division in charge of one or more expert cultivators who would be in charge of serving as Masters to new disciples, even managing to choose personal disciples or successors, those who would take their places when they left.

'It seems that the Peak of the Unrestricted and Free Little Cloud belongs to Little Bingluo, and the Twin Peaks of the Wonderful Sun and Majestic Moon to Little Xue and Little Yue...'

Ling Tian thought to himself and smiled in amusement, realizing that the names of the peaks were related to each personality of his disciples. Moreover, it seemed that each disciple was in charge of a part of the sect, except for both twin female disciples; Ling Tian was not surprised by the latter as he knew that both Gao Xue and Gao Yue did everything together, even being together almost all the time.

"But with senior sister here we don't need to worry! I'm sure with her strength there's no one in the sect who can beat her if something were to happen right now!" Ling Tian added with a smile, looking at Xuanyuan Ling.

"Huh?" Xuanyuan Ling continued to be perplexed as she couldn't get used to what Ling Tian was doing. Something inside her was exclaiming at her to clear up the misunderstanding. Somehow she felt uncomfortable with her Grandmaster calling her a senior sister, but on the other hand she felt strange, and strangely a little expectant...

But quickly Xuanyuan Ling shook her head, putting those thoughts out of her mind as she understood what Ling Tian was referring to.

"There is no one else in the sect except Elder Lu who can be stronger than Great Sister Ling right now!" An Qinmeng added excitedly.

"Besides, the current leaders and elders are not as powerful as our Masters!" An Yuqing complemented to what her older sister had said. Her gaze shone with pride and excitement as she spoke of her Masters.

The women nodded as well, confiding in Xuanyuan Ling and declaring that she had also become an expert cultivator.

"Even if I can't consider myself the strongest, I will protect the martial sisters!" Xuanyuan Ling nodded firmly as the next moment her spirit sense silently spread around the place, enveloping even all the women without them noticing. She understood the hidden meaning among Ling Tian's words.

"Senior Sister, why are you so serious and tense? Even if something happened there is still Master Lu! Besides, that serious expression dulls your beautiful face, so you should smile more often, big sister!~"

"Huh?"

After a few seconds of processing what Ling Tian had said, Xuanyuan Ling blushed momentarily before trying to regain her composure. But there still remained a trace of blush on her delicate and soft cheeks that were easily caught by the other martial sisters.

"Great Sister Ling just blushed... and for a compliment?"

"And by a man..."

"Even some elders can't make her smile easily!"

"Could it be that Great Sister Ling has taken a liking to Junior Brother?"

The women began to whisper excitedly, with gazes falling on Xuanyuan Ling and Ling Tian, even seeming to make Xuanyuan Ling blush a little more.

Ling Tian shook his head with a helpless smile as he heard the whispers, deciding not to pay any more attention. He had only said those words to his grand disciple, reminding her not to tense up or get nervous, that she is not alone in this place. Besides, Ling Tian understood Xuanyuan Ling's personality a little and wanted her to keep smiling more often, not wanting his grand disciple to be a woman quietly indifferent to life, especially when she was in her full youth.

And not forgetting that this grand disciple of his really is a very pretty girl in her full growth, like the immortal fairies in their prime. Ling Tian also could not imagine the lucky man who would become the life companion that Xuanyuan Ling would choose because of her standards and especially that not just anyone would be worthy of her; therefore he would make sure that the man would be a good man in all aspects for his adored and beloved Grand Female Disciple.
