Does anyone actually Believes That My Master Is A Mortal?

Wayless Sect, on the Grand Hall Square.

Dantai Luo Xue listened to Ye Luo's words, her previously unmoved mental state became tumultuous.

Her eldest senior brother was the current Saint Lord of the Holy Ground of East State.

Her third senior brother was the former Saint Lord of the Holy Ground of East State.

The Hidden Sect wasn't just ordinarily domineering; all the seniors within the sect had ascended, and the disciples were either the current or former Saint Lords…

In East State, coming from a Hidden Sect, one could indeed swagger around.

East State was already in an unsolvable predicament about the Hidden Sects.

The only ones who could barely counter them were probably the Holy Grounds of East State.

But now, the Saint Lord was a disciple of the Hidden Sect…

It was as if, for them, the Daoless Sect, to be in East State meant to be an unsolvable existence, an absolute overlord.

Even if all the remaining cultivator sects of East State were tied together, they couldn't shake them.

"Eldest senior brother, so…it turns out our sect has such a strong influence outside."

Dantai Luo Xue took a deep breath and restored her composure.

"What's surprising about that… By the way, junior sister, I have a question for you. I'm not sure if it's convenient for you to answer,"

Ye Luo coughed twice, feeling the timing was just about right to start asking.

"What question?"

Dantai Luo Xue knitted her eyebrows, asking.

"Well… um, shall I ask? If you think it's not suitable, junior sister, you don't have to answer,"

Ye Luo said hesitantly.

"You can ask, eldest senior brother,"

Dantai Luo Xue replied, puzzled.

"That, has the Sect Master already designated you as the future Sect Master of the Daoless Sect? Don't worry, as the Saint Lord, I mean no disrespect; I'm just curious,"

Ye Luo slowly said.

"Oh, that. It seems so. The Respected Master said that in the future, I should take over as Sect Master,"

Dantai Luo Xue thought for a moment and then nodded.

That was indeed what the Respected Master had said to her last time in the kitchen.

He told her to comprehend the Dao well and would pass his position to her.

Those were his exact words.

Upon hearing this,

Ye Luo, who was standing by, first paused, then a hint of a smile emerged on his face.

As expected!

Respected Master was indeed grooming this junior sister to be the future Sect Master.

Oh, second senior brother.

When you heard your position as Sect Master was gone, you wanted to laugh, didn't you? You really thought I couldn't tell?

Now things are getting interesting.

The Respected Master never planned to pass the position of Sect Master of the Daoless Sect to you.

You're mocking me?

Wait until later, and let's see who mocks whom.

Ye Luo held back his mirth, with no intention of sharing it with Zhang Han.

He would wait.

Wait for the day Zhang Han discovered it himself.

That feeling would surely be doubly satisfying than his own at that moment.

Imagining that scene,

Ye Luo couldn't help but feel pleased.

"Eldest senior brother, what's the matter?"

Dantai Luo Xue gave Ye Luo a curious look.

"Nothing, nothing. By the way, is the Respected Master within the Sect? I've come back this time mainly to pay my respects to him,"

Ye Luo quietly suppressed the amusement in his heart, so as not to give anything away.

"Yes, eldest senior brother, the Respected Master is here. He just dined with me today. He should be in the living area now, inside his palace,"

Dantai Luo Xue answered.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

With this reply,

Ye Luo was momentarily taken aback.

Respected Master just dined with you today...

He remembered that ever since the Respected Master had accepted him as a disciple, there had never been any interaction.

And now he dines with this junior sister.

Is this the special treatment for a successor?

How envious.

Ye Luo took a deep breath to calm his emotions.

"Alright, then junior sister, I shall go and see the Respected Master now,"

Ye Luo said.

"Okay, eldest senior brother,"

Dantai Luo Xue gave a slight nod.

Seeing this,

Ye Luo did not linger any longer, walking towards the living area of the Sect.

Dantai Luo Xue stood in place, watching Ye Luo leave.

Until Ye Luo's figure disappeared from her sight, she withdrew her gaze.

She looked down at the Superior Magical Treasure Bell in her hand, feeling sentimental.

"Hidden Sects are truly domineering; all three senior brothers are formidable figures, though the second senior brother is a bit weaker, he's still terrifying. It seems I need to speed up my comprehension of the Dao, or else I'd be unworthy of Respected Master's cultivation,"

Dantai Luo Xue murmured quietly to herself.

Then she walked towards the kitchen to request some soul-nourishing dishes, which would help her accelerate her Dao comprehension.

…

Before the Chu Yuan Palace.

Ye Luo arrived here.

Looking at the firmly closed doors of the palace, as if he'd discovered something, he channeled mana into his eyes, studying the area beside the palace doors closely.

"Good grief, this must be the handiwork of the second senior brother, right? Thirty-six Sound-Screening Arrays arranged in accordance with the Heavenly Gang's Numbers, amplifying the effect of the arrays. With this setup in place, even if someone were undergoing Tribulation Transcendence with Thousand Thunders Roaring, the Respected Master probably wouldn't be able to hear it,"

Ye Luo noticed the array outside the palace and was slightly surprised.

He didn't expect Zhang Han to put up thirty-six arrays for the Respected Master's palace.

Tsk, tsk.

The second senior brother was indeed very filial to the Respected Master.

Unfortunately, even so, the position of Sect Master is still not yours.

Ye Luo shook his head and smiled, not daring to put on any airs of being the Saint Lord in front of the Respected Master. He kneelt on both knees, respectfully performing a grand salute before the palace.

"Respected Master! Your disciple Ye Luo has returned to the Sect today to pay his respects, please grace us with your presence,"

Ye Luo used all his mana for this message,

So that the voice resonated majestically into the palace.

But even so, after passing through the thirty-six arrays and being weakened, the sound was much softer…
