380: Find you a master

To guide the path of cultivation!

Isn't such a bond enough!

Senior Brother Fu! Even though you left the Sect, you still sent back such an excellent talent. You must have suffered!

And Lin Ye hasn't taken a Revered Master yet!

Doesn't a better opportunity present itself now!

Thinking of this!

Duanmu Yu said with a kindly face, "Lin Ye, that means you don't have a Revered Master yet, right?"

After apologizing to his own Revered Master, Madam Miao, in his heart,

Lin Ye nodded at Duanmu Yu, "I haven't taken a Revered Master yet; that Senior won't allow me to."

"Hahahaha! That's just right!"

Lin Ye had originally wanted to use that non-existent guide to refuse taking a Revered Master, but he didn't expect Duanmu Yu to become even more excited.

"Lin Ye, do you know why he won't let you take a Revered Master?"

"I do not know..."

"Because he wants you to have more resources in the Flying Feather Holy Sect and make your path of cultivation smoother. You are an unpolished gem that needs a Great Master to carve it! So... I intend to find a Revered Master for you!"

Hearing this, Lin Ye frowned slightly, "Holy Lord, I already regard that Senior as my Revered Master, so..."

"No, no!"

Before Lin Ye could finish speaking, Duanmu Yu interrupted him directly, "Look at this sword you're carrying on your back. This sword is his token. The reason he didn't give you any powerful Magic Treasure but gave you this token instead is so you would find a Revered Master!"

"I grew up with him, so I naturally understand the meaning of this token. If you don't accept it, you will only break his heart!"

"..."

Lin Ye hadn't expected that this ordinary-looking Spirit Sword was actually some kind of token.

"Holy Lord, this..."

"Alright, alright! Don't decline! I know you're thin-skinned!"

Duanmu Yu interrupted Lin Ye again and continued, "As the Son of God, you naturally need an excellent Revered Master who can resolve all the obstacles on your path of cultivation. Hmm..."

Seeing their Holy Lord in thought, the Elders in the great hall all began to breathe rapidly.

Such a Prodigy, and a Son of God at that, who wouldn't want to be his Revered Master!

Once one became Lin Ye's Revered Master, in the future, with the help of that grace of mentorship, one would surely be able to advance further!

After thinking for a moment, Duanmu Yu said with a solemn face, "Hmm... I've thought about it for a long time, and I feel that in the entire Flying Feather Holy Sect, only I am worthy of you. Since that's the case, I will take you as my Disciple."

"Shameless!!!"

"Shameless scoundrel!"

"You old thief! How can you be so shameless! You aren't worthy at all!"

"Quick, quick! Strip him of his position as Holy Lord!"

"..."

Duanmu Yu's words caused the Elders in the great hall to curse in unison.

They had never seen such a thick-skinned and shameless person!

It was simply nonsense. What did he mean, only he was worthy of Lin Ye? He got it backward; clearly, Lin Ye was more than worthy of him, he wasn't worthy of Lin Ye at all!!!

He clearly just wanted to keep it all to himself.

Hearing the rising and falling curses in the great hall, even Duanmu Yu's face couldn't help but turn slightly red. He quickly coughed twice, "Ahem... Silence! What does this look like, all of you making such a racket!"

"Hehe..."

An Elder sneered, "Holy Lord, you wouldn't want the Old Ancestor to know that you insulted her, right? If you let Lin Ye become my Disciple, I will keep this matter a secret for you."

Hearing this, Duanmu Yu said in disbelief, "You! You dare to threaten me!"

"Nonsense! Of course I'm threatening you! Do you think I'm joking? I'm asking you, will you let me be Lin Ye's Revered Master or not! If you do, this matter is over. If you don't agree, I'll go to the ancestral grounds and invite the Old Ancestor immediately!"

"And me!"

"And me! We'll go together and tell the Ancestors exactly what the Holy Lord said, word for word!"

"Ah!!!"

Duanmu Yu was furious, stamping his feet repeatedly, "Rebellion! It's all rebellion!!!"

"Stop talking nonsense. Just tell us who you're going to let be Lin Ye's Revered Master!"

The Elders didn't buy Duanmu Yu's act at all and kept pressing him, their eyes filled with obvious threats.

Duanmu Yu was so angry he gritted his teeth.

These old bastards actually dared to threaten him!

Yet he couldn't afford to ignore it. If the Ancestors found out he had been presumptuous, it would be a disaster; he would probably be beaten until he flew away.

But with so many Elders in the great hall, even if he let Lin Ye become one of their Disciples, the others would still cause a scene.

Furthermore...

Looking at all these old faces in front of him, Duanmu Yu didn't want to just give in so easily.

After thinking for a moment, Duanmu Yu's eyes lit up.

That's it!

Lin Ye likes mature women, the Son of God position is established, the stunningly beautiful Old Ancestor, and keeping the Elders from getting their way.

With these conditions combined, a complete plan had emerged.

Duanmu Yu's mouth curved slightly, "Elders, you have all seen Lin Ye's talent. Forgive me for speaking bluntly, but it is my own talent in the sword Dao that is relatively strong and can guide him a little. However!"

Before the Elders could start cursing, Duanmu Yu changed the subject, "But all of you Elders want to be Lin Ye's Revered Master, and there is only one Lin Ye; you can't tear him apart, can you? Instead of that, it would be better to have Lin Ye become the Old Ancestor's Disciple."

"After all, he is the Son of God. Reasonably and logically, there is no problem with the Old Ancestor teaching him. As it happens, that Old Ancestor in our ancestral grounds is proficient in the sword Dao!"

"..."

The Elders had originally wanted to argue a bit more, but after Duanmu Yu mentioned that Old Ancestor who was proficient in the sword Dao, they all chose to shut up.

Who didn't know how short-tempered that Old Ancestor was? If one wasn't careful, their head would be knocked off!

It was just right; having that Old Ancestor personally teach Lin Ye would also make his position as Son of God even more legitimate.

As for the issue of seniority, there was no need to care about it at all.

He was already the Son of God; what was there to care about regarding seniority? The Son of God was on equal footing with the Holy Lord.

Seeing the Elders' faces as dark as ink, Duanmu Yu felt a wave of joy.

That'll teach you not to cooperate with me!

None of you will get him; I'll just send Lin Ye straight to the Old Ancestor. In that case, hehe...

Duanmu Yu didn't know what he had thought of, but he started giggling foolishly.

"Holy Lord!"

An Elder on the side said with slight disgust, "Can you stop laughing? You look like a chrysanthemum; looking at you makes me want to beat you up!"

"It doesn't matter. This Holy Lord is happy today, so say whatever you want."

Duanmu Yu waved his hand indifferently, then turned his gaze back to Lin Ye, "Lin Ye, come with me. I'll take you to the ancestral grounds to meet the Old Ancestors. You are now the Son of God, so I must take you to get familiar with the Ancestors."

After thinking for a moment, Lin Ye nodded.

If he could understand some of the powerhouses in this world, it would indeed be helpful for what he needed to do next.
