148: Chapter 148 Junior, would you like to take on another disciple?

Master Tianlan glared at the two of them and said, "Don't talk as if things are so miserable. When has this Revered Master's sect ever been unable to afford a meal? Have I ever wronged you all these years?"

After saying this, Master Tianlan spoke with a kind expression, "Si Yao, don't listen to your two Senior Brothers' nonsense."

Pei Siyao obediently said, "Si Yao understands; the Senior Brothers are just joking."

"Si Yao is so obedient and sensible. Unlike you two, who cause trouble for me all day long. When will you ever let me have some peace of mind?"

Yun Hong and Xiong Hongyou fell silent like cicadas in winter, though they were slandering him endlessly in their hearts.

At this moment, they realized just how ridiculously biased their Revered Master's heart was.

Especially Yun Hong, who felt incredibly aggrieved.

Xiong Hongyou at least had the benefit of enjoying the treatment of a Junior Brother for so many years.

Unlike him, who had no one to dote on or love him.

The Revered Master had taken him as a Disciple for less than half a year before taking in the Seventh Junior Brother.

For all these years, he had never enjoyed such favoritism.

It was truly too difficult for him.

"Alright, don't make those faces. Today, Si Yao joining my sect is a great event for my Xunfeng lineage. As Senior Brothers, don't you have something to show for it?" Master Tianlan said.

At this moment, the two became serious and each took out a treasure to hand to Pei Siyao.

Seeing this scene of fraternal harmony, Master Tianlan finally revealed a satisfied smile.

Immediately after, he looked at Pei Siyao before him and said, "Si Yao, if there is anything you don't understand, ask your Senior Brother Hongyou first. This Revered Master has some matters to discuss with your Senior Brother Yun Hong."

Pei Siyao nodded, "Mm, mm."

At this moment, Master Tianlan's gaze turned back to Yun Hong, and he immediately changed his tone, "What are you still standing there for? Come with me."

Yun Hong hadn't even been serious for a minute before he was back to a mournful face, looking at Xiong Hongyou beside him with a pleading gaze.

Seeing his Senior Brother's expression, Xiong Hongyou felt the temperature drop significantly, and he couldn't help but shiver.

If it were before today, he might have believed that his Revered Master loved him specially, and that being with his Revered Master was incredibly comfortable and peaceful.

But at this moment, he truly realized how formidable his Revered Master was.

At a time like this, how could he dare to step forward?

Senior Brother, you can only pray for your own good fortune.

Xiong Hongyou hurriedly said, "Junior Sister, you aren't familiar with the Academy yet, right? It just so happens that this Senior Brother is free; would you like to walk around the Academy together?"

Pei Siyao did not refuse, but merely glanced at the mournful-looking Yun Hong, "Then I will trouble Eighth Senior Brother."

After Pei Siyao and Xiong Hongyou left, Yun Hong followed Master Tianlan back to the chessboard to continue their unfinished game.

Following that, the two fought intensely at the chessboard until the sun went down.

On the other side, after Pei Siyao and Xiong Hongyou strolled around the Academy for a while, they returned to Hongdu Mansion.

Seeing that both had returned, Ancestor Yuhuan asked curiously, "Junior Brother Hongyou, did Master Tianlan say anything?"

It would have been fine if he hadn't asked.

After this question, Ancestor Yuhuan could deeply feel that the look Xiong Hongyou gave him was full of resentment, as if he were a heartless man.

This illusion made his whole body turn cold involuntarily.

Could it be that Master Tianlan did not agree to Junior Brother Hongyou taking Si Yao as a Disciple?

But upon second thought, he felt that shouldn't be the case.

Although he didn't explicitly state that Pei Siyao was an Innate seed, as a Fourth-Order Bloodline holder, Master Tianlan shouldn't be dissatisfied with this grand-Disciple.

Could it be that Si Yao was too mischievous and angered Master Tianlan?

Or could it be that some unexpected change had occurred?

Just as he was lost in thought, Xiong Hongyou provided the answer. He said with a melancholic face, "Senior Brother Yuhuan, the thing I promised you can no longer be done. From today on, Si Yao is my Junior Sister."

When he heard the first half, Ancestor Yuhuan's heart skipped a beat. But when the second half came out, he immediately realized what had happened.

At the same time, he also realized the reason for this Junior Brother's resentment.

The Disciple became a Junior Sister.

This joke seemed to have gone a bit too far.

With Pei Siyao's Aptitude, it wasn't impossible for her to be favored by an Immortal Revered Master.

It was just that he hadn't expected Master Tianlan to take a Disciple personally.

It seemed that Pei Siyao's Bloodline Awakening had likely been discovered by Master Tianlan.

Ancestor Yuhuan said, "Junior Brother Hongyou, since you and Si Yao do not have the fate of Revered Master and Disciple, why don't you take another Disciple? Among the Pei Clan's younger generation, there are still excellent Disciples."

Xiong Hongyou leaned back slightly, thinking that one shouldn't just target him alone when trying to fleece someone.

He had just lost his position as the youngest Junior Brother, and now he was being asked to take a Disciple again; wouldn't that be adding insult to injury?

Therefore, he hurriedly refused, "Senior Brother Yuhuan, don't be like that! Forget about taking a Disciple; I don't want to have another Junior Brother or Junior Sister."

Once these words were spoken, Ancestor Yuhuan let out a sigh and had no choice but to drop the matter.

It seemed this Disciple-taking incident had left quite a shadow on this little Junior Brother. It was just a pity that there was one less Academy Disciple among his Pei Clan descendants.

On the side, Pei Qingyun watched all of this quietly, his heart surging with waves of shock.

He hadn't expected his little girl to be so lucky.

From Wuyang to Longxi, and then to Jinxiu City, Pei Siyao had been having constant good luck along the way; could it be that she had awakened some kind of koi fish attribute?

She went to the Academy once and was taken in as a Disciple by an Immortal Revered Master.

From now on, the Revered Master became a Senior Brother.

However, Pei Qingyun did not view this as the backing power for the Wuyang Pei Clan.

You can't just call the old one whenever the young one gets beaten.

Pei Siyao had only just established a Revered Master-Disciple relationship with Master Tianlan; how close they were was self-evident.

Though, there were times when it was fine to pull on the tiger's skin.

At this moment, Pei Siyao also spoke up at the right time, "Old Ancestor, would you like to walk around the Academy? It's very fun inside."

Ancestor Yuhuan looked at Xiong Hongyou, seemingly understanding something. He did not agree, but just shook his head and said, "I won't go."

Seeing that Ancestor Yuhuan didn't agree, Xiong Hongyou then spoke up, "Senior Brother Yuhuan, it's not easy for you to come to Jinxiu City; why not go for a walk in the Academy? Senior Sister Lingyao has been managing Changyou Peak all these years."

Ancestor Yuhuan sighed and said, "No."

Immediately after, he looked at Pei Qingyun on the side, slowly took out a transparent and crystalline jade ring from his hand, and said solemnly, "Qingyun, you accompany Si Yao to walk around the Academy. If you go to Changyou Peak and meet Grandmaster Lingyao, give this jade ring to her."

Pei Qingyun did not think too much and agreed immediately.

Although he was curious about the relationship between Ancestor Yuhuan and this Grandmaster Lingyao, he also knew it wasn't the time to ask.

Besides, he was also very curious about this number one Academy in Beilong Province.

The original owner's dream was to enter the Academy. Although he hadn't become a Disciple of the Academy, he could be considered to have helped the original owner achieve half of it.

Following that, the group stayed in Hongdu Mansion for a while longer.

After eating lunch, Pei Qingyun and Pei Siyao went to the Academy, while Ancestor Yuhuan stayed at Hongdu Mansion.
