Chapter 17 You just need to work hard, I’ll just lie down

Just as Cui Damin and Cui Shan were catching up and saying goodbye, a cloud flew from the distant sky.

This cloud flew directly in front of them, and two people jumped down from it.

It was Xu Muge and his second Senior Brother Zheng Guan.

Cui Shan automatically ignored Xu Muge and bowed to greet Zheng Guan, who was wearing Elder robes.

"Elder."

Zheng Guan just nodded slightly.

"How was it? Did you succeed in becoming a Disciple?" Xu Qingzhou asked with concern.

Xu Muge replied with a look of regret, "I became a Disciple, but I couldn't become Elder Su Xinyan's Disciple."

Xu Qingzhou comforted him, "It's alright, you can't force things like this. As long as it's an Inner Sect Elder, it's fine."

At this moment, Cui Shan, who was nearby, let out a sneer.

"You really dare to think. Among the more than a thousand Disciples who passed the assessment, only Lu Chenlong, who has a spirit body, is qualified to directly become a Disciple. You, someone who didn't even pass the second round of assessment, what makes you think you can become an Inner Sect Elder's Disciple?"

Xu Muge chuckled and said with a relaxed expression, "Indeed, I didn't become an Inner Sect Elder's Disciple."

Cui Shan had an expression that said 'I knew it'.

Xu Muge then continued, "It's just that I became a Supreme Elder's Disciple. From now on, when I see Inner Sect Elders, I can only call them Senior Brother or Junior Sister."

Cui Shan and Cui Damin were slightly startled, then immediately burst into laughter, tilting their heads back.

"Hahahaha…"

"You're daydreaming! I've never heard of anyone being qualified to directly become a Supreme Elder's Disciple upon entering the sect. You don't even know how to brag properly."

"Brother Xu, I suggest you take this kid to see a doctor. There's definitely something wrong with his head."

Xu Muge ignored the two of them and just introduced Zheng Guan to Xu Qingzhou.

"Uncle, this is my second Senior Brother. Su Xinyan, whom you mentioned, is my Master's daughter, which means she's my Senior Sister. I can introduce you if there's a chance."

[Strictly speaking, it's not an introduction, but matchmaking. I've already prepared myself to call my Senior Sister 'Aunt'. It's just that my Senior Sister's current cultivation and status are too high; you have to work hard to catch up, otherwise, I'll be too embarrassed to praise you in front of my Senior Sister.]

Hearing Xu Muge's words and inner thoughts, Xu Qingzhou was completely stunned.

First, he was surprised that he actually became a Supreme Elder's Disciple directly. With this connection, he would no longer have to worry about the Seven Stars Sect's affairs in the future.

Second, this kid actually wanted to introduce him to a cultivation partner! And it was Elder Su Xinyan, an extremely outstanding Elder of the Lingyue Sect.

Good, good, good!

I really didn't dote on you in vain all these years!!

Zheng Guan greeted Xu Qingzhou with a smile.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, hello."

Under normal circumstances, given his status and strength, he wouldn't even glance at the Clan Leader of an unknown small Family.

But Xu Qingzhou was this exceptionally talented Junior Brother's Uncle, so he had to greet him seriously.

Because Zheng Guan understood in his heart.

Although he didn't know exactly how talented Xu Muge was, the Lingyue Sect had never seen a Supreme Elder directly take a Disciple after the entrance assessment.

And for a Master who had long since given up the idea of taking Disciples to directly take him as a Disciple and be so happy, it showed that his talent was even much better than Su Xinyan's.

Therefore, it was only a matter of time before he surpassed him. Perhaps in the future, he would even have to rely on him.

So, leaving a good impression on him was beneficial and harmless.

Xu Qingzhou replied like a nagging parent, "Fellow Daoist Zheng, Mu Ge is still young and doesn't understand many things. I'll have to trouble you to look after him."

"We are Senior and Junior Brothers; it's only right to look after him," Zheng Guan replied.

At this moment, Cui Shan and Cui Damin were already dumbfounded, their minds blank. Their words from earlier were like a bolt of lightning striking their minds, instantly stunning them.

Their first reaction was disbelief, but seeing Zheng Guan nearby, they had no choice but to believe.

Lu Chenlong, who possessed a spirit body, could only become an Inner Sect Elder's Disciple.

Xu Muge actually became a Supreme Elder's Disciple!!!

This not only meant his talent was better, but it also meant he had a future even more brilliant and glorious than Lu Chenlong's.

Even if Lu Chenlong saw him, he would have to be respectful and well-behaved.

Yet, Cui Shan had been constantly ridiculing and mocking him before, and Cui Damin even had a grudge against his Uncle.

This, this, this…

As he thought about it, Cui Shan's body went soft, and he directly plopped onto the ground. At this moment, he felt like dying.

Cui Damin's greasy face, which was clearly about to cry, forced out a smile.

"Brother… Brother Xu, we were blind before. Could you please, considering we are old acquaintances, be magnanimous and forgive us?"

Zheng Guan's expression changed slightly upon hearing this, and he questioned, "What? Is there some bad blood between you?"

Judging by his appearance, if there wasn't a reasonable explanation, he was ready to deal with Cui Damin on the spot.

This scared Cui Damin and his son so much that they trembled, and a few drops of urine even squeezed out.

"No, no, no, there really isn't…"

They looked at Xu Qingzhou and Xu Muge with pleading faces, hoping they would spare them.

Xu Muge replied directly, "There is bad blood, and it's a big one."

[This Cui Damin clearly has an irreconcilable hatred with Uncle. He even cursed my whole Family to have an accident before. I won't wait until I have enough strength to deal with them myself. If there's a grudge, it must be repaid immediately.]

Xu Qingzhou thought the same way.

Hearing this, Cui Damin and Cui Shan were almost scared unconscious. They regretted it immensely. If they had known this would happen today, they would have knelt down and begged for mercy, giving away all their property to reconcile with Xu Qingzhou.

Unfortunately, it was all too late.

Before they could even open their mouths to beg for mercy.

Zheng Guan had already acted. With a lift of his hand, he set up a soundproof barrier around them and pointed at Cui Shan, speaking to Cui Damin.

"You kill him, and I will spare your life. I will only give you three breaths to consider."

This…

Cui Damin turned his head to look at Cui Shan, who was hugging him and pleading tearfully.

"No, Father, I am your son, please…"

Cui Damin gritted his teeth and directly raised his hand to strike down with a palm. If his son was gone, he could have another, but if he himself was gone, he would be completely gone.

If the Family was implicated again, then he would be a sinner of the Family.

Zheng Guan removed the soundproof barrier and coldly shouted, "Audacious! How dare you kill my Lingyue Sect Disciple! You're courting death!!"

He flicked his finger, and Cui Damin followed closely in Cui Shan's footsteps.

As an Elder, Zheng Guan naturally couldn't attack Cui Shan without reason, but helping a Disciple avenge himself was reasonable and justified.

His method could be described as steady, accurate, and ruthless.

If Cui Damin hadn't listened, there would have been other ways; in any case, they couldn't escape today.

Xu Muge was slightly startled and quickly said, "Thank you, Senior Brother, for your help."

"We are all Family, no need to be polite," Zheng Guan said casually, waving his hand with a smile. His amiable appearance was completely different from before.

Next, he very tactfully distanced himself, giving them a chance to be alone.

Xu Muge took out the storage bracelet given by Su Xin.

"This was given by my Master. Please take it."

Xu Qingzhou took it and was involuntarily shocked. There were too many treasures inside, which frightened him, someone who hadn't seen much of the world, and he said subconsciously.

"You should keep these cultivation resources for yourself."

Xu Muge quickly refused.

"No need, my Master will give me cultivation resources. You just take these to develop the Family."

"Okay," Xu Qingzhou didn't continue to be polite and accepted the bracelet. The Xu Family indeed needed more resources to develop.

Xu Muge specifically told him about the function of the token inside and chatted for a while longer. It was also time to say goodbye.

Xu Qingzhou instructed, "Listen to your Master in the sect, Cultivate well, and don't waste your talent."

"Don't worry, Uncle, I will definitely Cultivate diligently. I'll come home to see you when I have time," Xu Muge said with a smile, waving his hand.

[You also have to Cultivate diligently. I still want to matchmake you and make us even closer with Senior Sister and Master.]

Xu Qingzhou smiled.

As long as you Cultivate diligently, even if I slack off, my cultivation will improve.
