Chapter 21 - Mo Zhous Gratitude (1/2)
After standing there and pondering for a moment, Yuan decided that it would be better for him and Mo Zhou to just acknowledge being a disciple from the Blood Sect.
”That's right, I am indeed from the Blood Sect,” he said with a confident voice.
”And I don't mind pretending what happened today did not occur, but you have to promise me that my friend, Mo Zhou, will no longer be bullied by his fellow disciples.”
”Daoist Yuan!” Mo Zhou couldn't believe his ears and began crying. Why would Yuan go this far for him when he didn't do anything to really deserve this treatment?
”Mo Zhou, huh?” The Sect Leader turned to look at Mo Zhou for a moment before saying, ”You will be my disciple starting today! Anyone who dares to touch you will have to answer me!”
”What?!”
When the Sect Leader made his announcement, everybody there gasped in shock, Mo Zhou included.
”Greet your new Master!” The Sect Leader continued.
Mo Zhou immediately kowtowed on the ground and bowed to him.
”This disciple greets Master!”
”Good! Starting today, you will be training under me!”
”Yes!”
Mo Zhou replied with enthusiasm in his voice.
Although Yuan did not expect such an outcome yet again, he was more than satisfied.
”Then I will be taking my leave,” he said.
The Sect Leader nodded and looked at Mo Zhou again, ”Go guide our guest to the exit!”
”Yes, Master!”
Thus, Mo Zhou brought Yuan and Xiao Hua away from the crowd.
Once they were gone, Sect Elder Jiang spoke, ”Sect Leader… making Mo Zhou your disciple is a little bit…”
”Hmph!” The Sect Leader coldly snorted. ”If you hadn't noticed by now, the Bloody Sword Strike used by that child is one of the Blood Sect's heirlooms!”
”What?! Does this mean—”
”That child is definitely not just your average disciple from the Blood Sect. Judging from his prowess and ability to fight those many realms above himself, I won't be surprised if his Master is the Blood Sect's Sect Leader himself, Patriarch Blood!”
”Patriarch Blood!” Elder Jiang trembled in fear just by hearing his name.
