38 Do Not Pursue (1/2)

(MC POV)

”You're that Master Lin?” A young man asked with an arrogant air.

I tilted my head slightly at the man's question, ”Yes, that would be me.”

”How old are you even?”

”Forty… I mean, Twenty two.”

”Haaaah? You're younger than me! What makes you think you can teach me anything?!” Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.

I raised an eyebrow at his outburst, wondering what I had done to offend him. It's a good thing my disciples aren't here to be traumatised by his attitude.

The young man who was raising his voice was a little taller than me in his early thirties. He had broad shoulders and a squarish jaw with his black hair tied neatly in a bun on top of his head.

The sole female beside him was a brunette in her early twenties, her hair tied in a braid that reached to her lower back. Her angular features were accentuated by the pink qipao that she wore, the slit at the side revealing her fair toned legs.

A real beauty, basically, but I've seen my share to feel nothing from her. I'm not a young kid anymore to be drooling at every piece of meat thrown my way.

According to what I could find, he had came to the Sect during the time I was at Manami's village, leading a group of three men and a young woman banging on our Sect doors demanding entry.

They were turned away at first but they had claimed to be exceptional talents so they were allowed in for a quick test.

Using the method I performed, Elder Qing deemed that they might possess the same potential as Lian Li whom, last they saw, had miraculously been revealed as a Practitioner despite not having Pure Elemental Quarks.

They surmised it had something to do with the fact that they could withstand the Elemental Pressure exuded from a Practitioner that made them different. The Sect Master agreed to admit them into the Sect but none of the Elders or Masters knew how to teach them since they had no Pure Elemental Quarks.

They decided to leave them to me to deal with when I came back.

What they didn't expect was for me to return with even more disciples in tow.

They then took some time to discuss on what would be the better option to do since they were afraid of stunting my disciple's growth. At least, according to them, that was the reason for their hesitation.

They didn't manage to come up with a solution before the Sect Showcase Festival came around so they decided that kicking the can down the road would be best. They had left them behind at the Sect during the Festival since they didn't want the other Sects to know about them.

Only when they saw how much Lian Li had grown did they decide the best choice was to still push this group of students to me.

”Watch your mouth young one, do you not know Master Lin?” Elder Xiao admonished.

”Why should I know about some young upstart?! Do you not know who I am?!”

”Not really,” I admitted.

His face reddened upon my answer, ”Feng Xian! The rightful heir of the country of Dong! How could you have not heard of me?!”

Ignoring his outburst, I looked towards the group behind him, ”And the rest of you?”

The woman did a perfect curtsey, ”Greetings, Master Lin. My name is Diao Chan, I am young master Feng Xian's retainer.”

”I am Cheng Lian.”

”My name is Wei Yue.”

”Hu Zhen is my name.”
