114: Chapter 114 Junior Brother and Senior Sister?
"How was it? What did the Peak Revered Master want to talk to you about?"
"Look at you, you look like you've picked up a massive treasure."
Elder Luo Feng was still waiting nearby, and seeing him come out, he walked up with a smile.
"Hehe!"
Chu Feng took a deep breath, trying hard to appear calm, but the glimmer in his eyes could not be concealed no matter what.
He leaned in close to Luo Feng, lowered his voice, and with irrepressible excitement said, "Elder Luo, the Peak Revered Master… has taken me as his Disciple!"
"What!?!"
Hearing this, Luo Feng's eyes widened sharply, and his voice involuntarily rose a few notches, "The Peak Revered Master has taken you as his Disciple!? You kid… what kind of Heaven-Defying luck is this!? How long have you even been in the Sect!?"
He circled Chu Feng twice, looking him up and down as if he were seeing him for the first time, clicking his tongue in wonder, "Incredible, simply incredible! It seems the Peak Revered Master really sees you as a precious treasure! You kid have truly struck earth-shattering luck!"
Chu Feng chuckled and scratched the back of his head, "Yeah, I didn't expect it either. It feels like a dream."
Luo Feng heavily patted his shoulder, feeling deeply moved, "It's not just you who didn't expect it, I doubt there are many people in the entire Duobao Sect who could have imagined it!"
"Chu Feng, the high hopes the Peak Revered Master has placed in you are likely far beyond what you or I can imagine! You must make sure to strive, cultivate diligently, handle your affairs well, and don't let down the Peak Revered Master's painstaking efforts!"
"Elder Luo, rest assured, this Disciple will certainly give it his all!" Chu Feng's expression turned serious as he said solemnly.
Luo Feng was stunned for a moment, then reacted and laughed heartily, "Right, right, right! Look at my memory!"
"Since you have entered the Revered Master's tutelage, we are now proper fellow Disciples! If you have any issues in the future, feel free to come find me, your Senior Brother!"
"Hmm?"
Chu Feng was a bit confused and looked at Luo Feng suspiciously, "Elder Luo, are… are you also the Revered Master's Disciple?"
He had previously only known that Luo Feng was an influential Elder within the Peak and was deeply trusted by the Peak Revered Master, but he had never heard that he was also a Personal Disciple of the Peak Revered Master.
"Hehe! What, don't I look like one?"
Luo Feng puffed out his chest, striking a "I'm very impressive" pose, and said proudly, "Allow me to introduce myself formally: Luo Feng, the seventh Disciple under the Peak Revered Master, your Seventh Senior Brother!"
"Really?"
Chu Feng was still somewhat incredulous and asked suspiciously, "Then… then why haven't I heard you call him Revered Master, and you always address him as 'Peak Revered Master'?"
"Heh! That's where you don't understand!"
Luo Feng put his arm around Chu Feng's shoulder and, while leading him down the mountain, explained, "Our Revered Master is someone who distinguishes between public and private matters to the extreme."
"In private settings, such as the solo summons just now, or during internal gatherings of us fellow Disciples, we can naturally call him 'Revered Master'."
"But when handling official business, in formal settings, especially in front of outsiders, we must address him as 'Peak Revered Master' to show impartiality and avoid mixing in personal relationships."
"This is a rule set by the Revered Master that all us Disciples must follow. You'll understand once you've been here longer."
"Oh… I see!"
Chu Feng suddenly realized, and his understanding of the rigor and principles of the Revered Master deepened.
At the same time, he completely believed Luo Feng's words; after all, impersonating a Personal Disciple of the Peak Revered Master was such an egregious offense that Luo Feng wouldn't dare to do it even with ten times the courage.
"Then what are you standing there for?"
Luo Feng grinned and nudged Chu Feng with his elbow, "Hurry up and call me 'Seventh Senior Brother' for me to hear!"
Chu Feng also laughed, feigned tidying his robes, then cupped his hands toward Luo Feng, bowed slightly, and called out in a drawn-out voice, "Junior Brother Chu Feng, greets the Seventh Senior Brother!!"
"Hahaha!"
Luo Feng laughed heartily and patted Chu Feng's back firmly, "Good! Good Junior Brother! From now on, in the Peak, this Senior Brother will look after you!"
Their relationship instantly grew much closer due to this bond of fellow Disciples, and they walked down the mountain side by side, chatting and laughing.
"Oh right, Seventh Senior Brother."
Chu Feng suddenly remembered something and asked curiously, "You mentioned just now that you are the seventh Disciple, then what about the other Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters? Where are they all? How should I pay my respects to them?"
Luo Feng restrained his smile and said seriously, "The six Senior Brothers and Sisters are currently guarding strategic locations on the front lines or executing important missions."
"When they return, I, your Senior Brother, will introduce them to you one by one."
"As for the Eighth Junior Sister…" A mysterious smile appeared on Luo Feng's face.
"Eighth Senior Sister?" Chu Feng's heart stirred.
"Yes, Number Eight, which is your Eighth Senior Sister."
Luo Feng looked at Chu Feng with a smile, "You actually know this person, and… you should be quite familiar with her."
"Who is it?" Chu Feng's curiosity was piqued.
"Jiang Miaoyi." Luo Feng said, enunciating each word.
"Immortal Master Miaoyi!?"
Chu Feng's eyes lit up. It was actually her?
Thinking of Jiang Miaoyi's ethereal and refined appearance, her cold and distant yet occasionally concerned expression, a different kind of ripple couldn't help but stir in Chu Feng's heart, even feeling a bit heated.
Senior Sister and Junior Brother… hmm, it sounds quite compatible.
Seeing Chu Feng looking somewhat dazed with the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, Luo Feng, as someone who had been through this, could naturally understand what this kid was thinking.
He couldn't help but laugh, "You kid, Junior Sister Miaoyi has a relatively cold temperament; it just depends on whether you have the ability to pursue her."
Chu Feng came back to his senses, chuckled, and simply said, "Seventh Senior Brother is joking. This Junior Brother naturally holds the Senior Sister in high respect."
"Do you think I'll believe that?" Luo Feng rolled his eyes at him, but didn't say anything more.
For those who cultivate, there are no strict restrictions on seniority between Dao Companions. As long as there is mutual affection, teachers and Elders usually do not interfere too much.
Under Luo Feng's guidance and assistance, Chu Feng quickly began the process of handing over power and familiarizing himself with the procedures.
Luo Feng imparted his years of experience in handling the Peak's affairs, connections, the balance of various forces that needed attention, key points of resource allocation, and so on, to Chu Feng without reservation.
A few days later.
Duobao Peak officially released two announcements that shocked the entire Sect.
The first: Effective immediately, Yellow-rank True Disciple Chu Feng is appointed as the First Steward of Duobao Peak, with full authority over all daily affairs within Duobao Peak, resource allocation, Disciple evaluations, rewards and punishments, etc. The former person in charge, Elder Luo Feng, will shift to an assisting role.
The second: Xiao Qingtian of Duobao Peak has officially taken Yellow-rank True Disciple Chu Feng as his closing Disciple, ranking ninth.
The two announcements.
Were like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, triggering huge shock and heated discussion within the Duobao Sect!
The name Chu Feng once again broke into the vision of all the Sect's higher-ups with the most powerful posture, and also completely established his position as one of the undisputed leaders among the younger generation.
The landscape of Duobao Peak, and even the entire Duobao Sect, quietly underwent subtle and profound changes due to this leap for Chu Feng.
And the era belonging to Chu Feng was accelerating its arrival!!
