Chapter 175: Don't let Senior Brother cause trouble

~7 min read 1,300 words

"Master is a bit tired today, so I'll go back to sleep first. If you have any questions, just ask your junior brothers."

Before Lin Bai could reply, Feng Feng Yunzheng turned and disappeared from the main hall.

"Senior Brother, Master takes a nap at this time every day."

"So just follow me for a while."

"By the way, my name is Wang Wang Yuping. Senior Brother can just call me Potato; everyone calls me that."

Seeing Lin Bai’s confusion, Wang Wang Yuping hurriedly explained and introduced himself.

"Okay."

Lin Bai nodded. Looking at the short and chubby Wang Wang Yuping, he knew where the nickname came from.

Then he followed Wang Wang Yuping to familiarize himself with the environment. The entire Qingluan Peak was divided into four parts.

Namely, the canteen for eating.

The training grounds.

The caves for resting, and the main hall they had just visited.

That was the place for disciples to pay respects and discuss matters.

It wasn't very magnificent, but it had everything it needed.

Plus, there were far fewer disciples on Qingluan Peak than on other peaks.

So even the low-level disciples each had their own cave.

However, when Lin Bai arrived at the training ground and saw the vegetable patch at the edge, he was completely bewildered.

"Senior Brother, this is what Master calls 'cutting expenses and increasing revenue.' Anyway, there are few people on our Qingluan Peak, so such a large space would be empty otherwise."

"Most importantly, our Qingluan Peak isn't as rich as the others, so we save where we can."

Wang Wang Yuping scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Doesn't the sect have sect missions? Aren't there rewards for completing them?"

Lin Bai was puzzled. If they could take on a few big missions, it wouldn't be like this.

Especially since the lowest among these people was likely at the Golden Core Realm.

"Yes, but we can only get some small missions; they are all the ones others have picked over."

"And the subsidies the sect gives to each peak every month are allocated based on mission rankings."

Mentioning this, Wang Wang Yuping was a bit troubled.

Every time sect missions were assigned, by the time it was Qingluan Peak’s turn, basically only the extremely difficult or extremely easy ones were left.

With their strength, they naturally didn't dare to challenge the difficult ones; one moment of carelessness could cost them their lives.

So they could only pick the remaining extremely easy missions with very few rewards.

"Senior Brother, you also know that we are the poorest in the entire sect, and we have the fewest people."

"Sometimes people from other peaks look down on us, but we're used to it."

"Master often says, 'Do not compete with people, compete with heaven.'"

"Competing with people is useless; competing with heaven will truly benefit you. There's no need to care about those external things; as long as people are fed and clothed, that's enough."

Wang Wang Yuping, who had been troubled, suddenly became enlightened the next second.

Looking at Lin Bai, it was as if all this was nothing.

"Master is right, but that's assuming others don't compete with me."

Lin Bai raised an eyebrow. Indeed, like master, like disciple.

However, since he had chosen this place, he naturally couldn't let it stay the same as before.

"Senior Brother, I heard you were the first-place winner in this secret realm assessment, especially that you beheaded the Blood River and fought a Supreme Realm expert one-on-one in the secret realm. Is that true?"

Just then, the disciples who had just finished training swarmed over.

They surrounded Lin Bai and began to ask enthusiastically.

Actually, in the main hall just now, everyone had wanted to ask, but since Master was present, they had to hold back.

Thinking they would ask when they had the chance later, they didn't expect the person to come here.

Naturally, they couldn't wait to ask Lin Bai about the things they wanted to know.

"It's true."

Lin Bai nodded. Naturally, he wouldn't be humble, and he felt there was no need to be humble either.

"Senior Brother, we really didn't expect someone like you to come to our Qingluan Peak. We thought you would go to Fairy Qinghua Peak."

Getting Lin Bai’s answer, everyone was very excited.

The previous nine Holy Sons had all gone to other peaks after the secret realm trial ended; they weren't interested in this place at all.

So they hadn't even dared to imagine what their Senior Brother would be like.

"Alright, be careful, or Master will come and punish you later."

Wang Wang Yuping couldn't stand it anymore and brought up Master.

Sure enough, upon hearing about punishment, they retreated one after another and returned to their positions.

"Senior Brother, we're back."

Hearing this, Lin Bai looked over. When he saw the few people speaking, his brows locked, and he was somewhat displeased.

"What happened to you three?"

Wang Wang Yuping’s face didn't look any better than Lin Bai’s. He saw the three of them walking back while supporting each other, their faces covered in varying degrees of purple and blue, and their legs limping slightly.

It was obvious they had just been in a fight, and they were the ones being bullied.

"Senior Brother, it's nothing, we just fell accidentally."

Fearing Wang Wang Yuping would worry, the few shook their heads and forced a smile, but the smile hurt the injured parts of their mouths, so the three of them looked worse than if they were crying.

"How did you fall? Can you demonstrate it for me right now?"

Wang Wang Yuping frowned. He wasn't stupid; he could tell it wasn't a fall.

Seeing they couldn't hide it, the few had to tell the whole story.

Originally, after they finished receiving supplies, they wanted to hurry back. Hearing that the Tenth Holy Son had come to their Qingluan Peak, they wanted to see his true face, so they walked a bit anxiously.

They accidentally bumped into Wei Xiang’an, who was walking toward them.

They had already apologized, but the other party pushed his luck, insisting they had dirtied his clothes and demanding they lick them clean with their tongues.

They refused, and the other party had them beaten up.

If it hadn't been for someone else shouting that the elders were coming, the other party probably wouldn't have let them off.

"Let's go, I'll go meet him."

After hearing what the disciples said, Lin Bai walked in front with a cold face.

Since Feng Feng Yunzheng had indicated in the main hall that from now on, what he said was what went, except for himself.

Then, since his people had been beaten, he naturally couldn't let it go; he had to seek an explanation for his people.

The other party actually thought there was no one left on their Qingluan Peak.

"Senior Brother, forget it, we're fine."

Seeing Lin Bai was a bit angry, the three hurriedly waved their hands, fearing that their Senior Brother, who had just joined Qingluan Peak, would provoke Wei Xiang’an because of them.

But Lin Bai had already made up his mind about this matter, so he naturally wouldn't turn back.

He flew down from Qingluan Peak and went straight to the sect’s supply collection point.

"You go call Master, I'll go follow and see, don't let Senior Brother cause trouble."

Wang Wang Yuping was nervous and ordered the three to go call their Master, while he followed Lin Bai down the peak.

"I didn't expect there to be more female disciples this year than in previous years, and they are one more beautiful than the other."

Wei Xiang’an sat on the stone steps, whistling and teasing the women passing by from time to time.
