Luo Yunyang stared dumbfoundedly at the shorter figure. He was too familiar with that person!

Luo Shaochong! It was his son Luo Shaochong!

 “Greetings, father!” Luo Shaochong was extremely delighted to see Luo Yunyang. He wanted to rush over but after hesitating for a moment, he decided to greet Luo Yunyang like an adult.

Luo Yunyang also s.h.i.+fted his attention to the man holding his son's hand. Although he had previously felt that everything was going as planned, he now had an impulse to take his son back from that person no matter the cost. However, after taking a closer look at the other person, his face darkened.

 “Yuan Sage Shending!”

 There was a total of 12 Yuan Sages in the Taixu Sect. Among them, Yuan Sage Shending was considered one of the top three Yuan Sages to avoid offending.

 Quite a few Yuan Sages accepted many disciples, such as Yuan Sage Jinlao, but there was no one like Yuan Sage Shending, who had never accepted any disciples before.

The mesmerizing Yuan Sage Shending was smiling at Luo Yunyang, looking very much like a deity who had descended.

In terms of seniority, Luo Yunyang was merely a junior to Yuan Sage Shending in the Taixu Sect. He wasn't even just one generation younger than him!

Yuan Sage Shending's eyes lit up for a moment before his gaze turned slightly pitiful.

 “Greetings, Uncle Master Shending!” It was not Luo Yunyang but Chunyu Tianxing who greeted Yuan Sage Shending.

 He was confused about why Yuan Sage Shending had come. However, he quickly made the decision to greet Yuan Sage Shending even though he was still puzzled.

Yuan Sage Shending gestured with his hand gently and said, “No need for formalities!”

Chunyu Tianxing was puzzled but did not dare to complain. He was too familiar with his Uncle Master, who had an erratic temperament. If he offended him, it was very likely that he would lose his life without even knowing how he'd died.

“Greetings, Yuan Sage Shending!” The faces of Yue Hongxian and the others turned pale when they saw Yuan Sage Shending. Although they were considered Yuan Monarchs of their respective regions, they paled in comparison to Yuan Sage Shending.

 Based on the formidable might shown by Yuan Sage Shending when he arrived, it was likely that he could destroy all of them as long as he wished.

How could they dare provoke such an existence?

 After Chunyu Tianxing greeted him, they all exchanged glances before greeting Yuan Sage Shending respectfully in unison. “Greetings, Lord Yuan Sage!”

 Yuan Sage Shending responded fairly to Chunyu Tianxing, but he merely scoffed and did not even acknowledge the Yuan Monarchs when they greeted him.

This sort of response made the faces of Yue Hongxian and the others fall.

 Luo Yunyang finally calmed down as he greeted Yuan Sage Shending. “Disciple Luo Yunyang pays his respects to Yuan Sage Shending.”

 There was a big gap between Luo Yunyang's seniority and Yuan Sage Shending's seniority. Thus, Luo Yunyang could only refer to himself as a disciple when meeting Yuan Sage Shending.

 Yuan Sage Shending smiled, which made Luo Yunyang very uncomfortable. Honestly, Luo Yunyang would rather Yuan Sage Shending reacted indifferently to his greeting.

“So you are Luo Yunyang. I didn't believe it when they said your Taixu Sect had another talented disciple. However, it seems like it's true after all.”

 Yuan Sage Shending sounded as if he was looking down on the Taixu Sect when he referred to it as “your Taixu Sect”.

Luo Yunyang had spent a lot of time in the Taixu Sect, so it could be said that he knew plenty of inside stories of the sect.

 None of the 12 Yuan Sages had accepted the current sect master of the Taixu Sect and they had all left the Taixu Sect and established their own Great Cosmoses to live in.

 However, they had not announced their departure from the Taixu Sect for the sake of their master. The restrictions imposed by the Taixu Sect were almost negligible to them.

 It could even be said that those Yuan Sages were a little hostile to the present Taixu Sect!

“Thank you, Yuan Sage, for your praise. You flatter me!”

 “I never praise others to show my politeness. If I say you have a good apt.i.tude, it means you are indeed pretty good.” Yuan Sage Shending chuckled out loud.

After saying that, he eyed Luo Shaochong and said, “Today, I met Chong'er and realized that we share an affinity. Furthermore, he asked to be my disciple. From this day on, you and I can speak as equals.”

 Befriending and speaking as equals with a Yuan Sage was the dream of many people. However, this made Luo Yunyang feel more uneasy about it.

 Yuan Sage Shending had happened to meet his son and had also been asked by his son to be his Master? Wasn't this a big coincidence?

 After taking a moment to think, Luo Yunyang replied solemnly, “Yuan Sage, your seniority cannot be overlooked. Chong'er is young and ignorant. He doesn't know his limits and is merely a child. I hope you can be magnanimous and not be offended by what this child says.”

 Luo Yunyang's words made a cold expression appear on Yuan Sage Shending's face before he snapped, “Chong'er has asked me to be his master and he shall be the disciple of the Shending Sect now. As for the seniority you mentioned, I will just ignore it.”

 After he said that, the force that had been suppressing everyone surged out of Yuan Sage Shending again. In an instant, Luo Yunyang was at a loss for words.

 Although this body of his had not broken through to become a Taiyi Yuan Venerate, it was far stronger than an ordinary Taiyi Yuan Venerate's body. Nevertheless, he still felt as if he was merely a fly in front of Yuan Sage Shending and could not muster up any form of resistance.

Even though he felt that something was fishy, he knew that the cultivation base of his body was not enough to resist Yuan Sage Shending.

 He felt a deep sense of helplessness. Luo Yunyang did not know when was the last time he had felt this helpless before. Although he was upset, he still hurriedly replied, “It's just that I do not dare consider myself equal to all the Yuan Sages and I definitely do not have the guts to consider myself equal to the other Patriarchs of the Taixu Sect.”

 “Ha ha ha… You don't have to care about this. When I said that you can talk to me as an equal, it only applied to me and you.”

Yuan Sage Shending's expression recovered in an instant as he turned to look at Chunyu Tianxing and said, “Martial-Nephew Tianxing, do you think I am right?”

 Chunyu Tianxing's forehead was already sweating. Although he was very sure that Uncle Master Yuan Sage Shending would not kill him, it was natural for a mighty Yuan Sage to show off before his new disciple.

Furthermore, Luo Yunyang's son was the only disciple of Yuan Sage Shending.

 “Uncle Master, you are right. I congratulate you for finally accepting a disciple. With this junior brother leading the way, your sect will definitely continue to reach great heights.”

Although Luo Shaochong was younger than his youngest son, Chunyu Tianxing still had to address Luo Shaochong as his junior brother.

“This disciple of mine is good at everything except for being righteous. As his teacher and master, I really don't know whether to praise him or punish him,” Yuan Sage Shending said with a wave of his sleeve.

 “From now on, I will definitely teach him well.” After saying that, Yuan Sage Shending stared at Chunyu Xintian and asked, “How dare that son of yours provoke my disciple? Don't you think you should give me a proper explanation for this?”

Chunyu Tianxing did not know about the feud between his son and Luo Shaochong. He only knew that Luo Yunyang had acted against the Chunyu Family first.

In Chunyu Tianxing's opinion, he only needed to kill the person who had dared to challenge his family.

Now, under the watchful eyes of Yuan Sage Shending, he needed to give a proper explanation to his Uncle Master regardless of the reason this matter had escalated.

 “Go! Bring the young master over!” Chunyu Tianxing instructed sternly.

 All the Chunyu Family martialists looked so defeated that none of them dared to make a sound. They had originally thought that the Chunyu Family's reputation was going to rise to greater heights when their Patriarch had invited so many Monarchs over. They had never expected to stub their toes on a tough iron wall like this.

 This particular iron wall was not only extremely tough but could also cause the downfall of the entire Chunyu Family.

One of them soon went to look for the unfortunate young master of the Chunyu Family. Meanwhile, Hong Yuexian and the rest stood aside feeling uneasy even though Yuan Sage Shending had not asked about them.

At this point, they were p.i.s.sed with themselves for being dragged into such dangerous peril by Chunyu Tianxing. They were really fed up with feeling like their lives were at the mercy of others.

 The young master of the Chunyu Family arrived shortly. It seemed as if he had been instructed beforehand, as he immediately knelt on the ground when he arrived and pleaded. “Patriarch, I was tyrannical and unruly and I offended Uncle Master as a result. I beg for forgiveness this time and I promise that I will repent and turn over a new leaf. I will never do such a ridiculous thing again. Patriarch, please have mercy. Patriarch, please!”

Yuan Sage Shending paid no attention to the young master of the Chunyu Family, who rapidly kowtowed before him more than once. He turned to Luo Shaochong and asked, “Disciple, what do you think of this matter?”

 Luo Shaochong had been born intelligent but was still a child. Although he hated the young master of the Chunyu Family very much, he was at a loss. He had no idea what to do.

 After hesitating for a brief moment, he said cleverly, “I will listen to what you say, Master.”

 “If you say so, I shall decide for you this time. Since you have to train with me on the mountain, you'll definitely need a servant. Let's punish him by making him your servant for 10,000 years!” Yuan Sage Shending said with a smile.

 His casual words had decided the fate of the Chunyu Family's younger master.
