17 A Turning Point for the Teng Yong Sec (1/2)
Yun Bei Fen forced himself to calm down and listen to Sect Master Zhang when he got the confirmation of his Master. He had to make sure he understood everything clearly. He definitely couldn't leave senior martial brother Mei with a bad impression!
The mission turned out to be quite simple to understand anyway. Basically, they would just travel to the border region and set up camp there. After that, it would be their responsibility to patrol the area daily and eliminate every heretic practitioner they happened upon. If they managed to extract information regarding the demonic sects' plans from them, it would be even better.
When Zhang Guan Yu finally finished explaining the mission half the disciples set off immediately while the other half stayed back and discussed some details among themselves.
Baili Chao patted his disciple's head and motioned to the side. ”Wait over there for a while. I have to talk to the Sect Master for a bit.”
Yun Bei Fen very obediently walked over to the wall and waited for his Master. Well, he very obediently walked over to the wall and happened to look in Mei Chao Bing's direction. Baili Chao's brows twitched when he saw his little disciple behave like that but after all these years he really didn't have any further words and just turned away to go talk to Zhang Guan Yu. What was the harm in letting his disciple look at his senior martial brother a little longer?
Zhang Guan Yu had already vanished into his study when Baili Chao went to look for him. He didn't seem too surprised when the Elder appeared on his doorstep. After all, he had asked him to accompany the disciples on this mission together with two of the other Elders. It was expected for there to be some questions. The other two probably wouldn't let him wait too long either.
”Come on in then.”
Baili Chao nodded and stepped in, closing the door behind him.
”Should we wait for the other two to arrive? I wouldn't like to repeat everything three times.”
Baili Chao shook his head. ”That's not what I'm here for. This is about Fen'er.”
Zhang Guan Yu's brows raised in a teasing way. Honestly? This guy was still calling his little disciple that way? ”You found yourself a wife?”
Baili Chao's lips twitched. This guy … ”I'm talking about my disciple.” Not that you didn't know. ”I noticed how you looked at him.”
”Oh?”
”I'd like to know what this is about.”
Zhang Guan Yu smiled noncommittally. ”It's about looks, obviously. I wasn't the only one looking, after all. Half the disciples were craning their necks to get a look. Ah, none of our other disciples can hold a candle to him whether it's the male or female ones. You should really pay more attention, Elder Baili, or there'll be some paintings of him circulating in the sect in no time.”
Baili Chao refused to let this guy dupe him this easily. He might be afraid of something like this happening but he hadn't come here today because of that. ”I'm talking about the way you looked at him and Mei Chao Bing. What's up with that? And don't try to talk your way out of it! You already made such insinuations when I brought Fen'er into the sect and you've always shown special interest in him. I'm his Master. I want the truth and I want it now. So speak up.”
