82 Just Gossiping (1/2)

Mei Chao Bing took a deep breath and pushed the thought away. Anyway, there was nothing he could do right now when he was still outside with the other disciples. He had to think this through calmly and then tell Elder Baili. After all, even if he understood how his Master thought and that he was likely involved in this plan, one person alone couldn't deal with the whole demonic faction. No, he would need help with that. And even though the other disciples might have a better attitude after what Elder Baili had said this morning, they would still need some time to get used to this new situation. And who knew if they'd keep it in their minds at all after it was revealed that his Master was involved in this?

So it was better if he didn't show that he was the one who had found out about this and instead quietly told Elder Baili so that he could make a plan and take care of things from there on out. This meant that for now, he couldn't say anything.

Mei Chao Bing quietly waited together with Yun Bei Fen who was currently engrossed in a conversation with Kui Min. Maybe this would have been a good opportunity to find out more about cultivation from somebody who was of a similar level but … the two of them only seemed to be gossiping.

Right now, Yun Bei Fen was shaking his head with a sad expression. ”I don't know, I've been in closed-door cultivation the past few years. I haven't seen anybody. When I came out, Master dragged me over to the Sect Master's hall immediately. I didn't even see my own senior martial brothers.”

Kui Min patted his head with an expression that was saying that she pitied him very much and gave a sigh. ”I also don't know much about that. I think your first senior martial brother went on some mission and your third senior martial brother followed along. As for your second senior martial brother … I think he should also be in closed-door cultivation?” She didn't seem too sure though.

Yun Bei Fen sighed as well. ”I don't think so. Second senior martial brother always hated going into closed-door cultivation. I don't think he'd be able to sit there for a long time and cultivate. He's just not that kind of person.”

Kui Min couldn't help but laugh, patting his head again and then patting for a bit longer. Ah, she finally understood why Mei Chao Bing was always doing this. It really was an addictive feeling! ”Mn, you might be right with that. Maybe it was the other way around then? But I don't think he'd be good when accompanying someone on a mission either. He'd probably make a lot of trouble.”

Yun Bei Fen … didn't even think about it and just nodded his head, selling out his second senior martial brother. ”I think between all three of them, first senior martial brother went out the most often. Sometimes, he would just be gone for a few hours but sometimes, we wouldn't even see him for several weeks or months on end. Third senior martial brother was much better. He was there a lot but he also went out sometimes. I don't think he ever went alone though.”

Kui Min nodded. ”Sure, ah. If I remember correctly, isn't he with one of the other disciples?”

Yun Bei Fen blinked his eyes, not understanding what she was talking about. ”Well, who would he go with if not with another disciple?”

Kui Min didn't know what to say and looked at Mei Chao Bing instead.

Mei Chao Bing just raised his brows. ”I don't know too much. I think I heard somebody say that he was in a relationship with one of the other disciples though.”

Yun Bei Fen turned to him, his eyes wide. ”Really?”

Mei Chao Bing nodded. ”If I remember correctly that is. It seems they've been together for a while as well?” He wasn't too sure though. Anyway, if one of Elder Baili's disciples was in a relationship, shouldn't the others know? After all, Elder Baili only had these four disciples. They should be pretty close.

Yun Bei Fen pursed his lips and pondered. ”Then who is it?”

”I think his name is Shen Lei? Elder —”
