Chapter 405: Don't Let the Senior Brother Cause Trouble

~7 min read 1,342 words

"Your Master is a bit tired today and will go back to sleep. If you have any questions, just ask your junior brothers."

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

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

"So just follow me in a moment."

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

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

"Good."

Lin Bai nodded; looking at the somewhat short and stout Wang Wang Yuping, he knew how that nickname came about.

He then followed Wang Wang Yuping to familiarize himself with the surroundings. The entire Shanfeng is divided into four parts.

There is the canteen for eating.

The training ground for cultivation.

The resting caves, and the main hall where Lin Bai and the others just went.

That is the place where disciples pay respects and hold meetings.

It is not particularly magnificent, but it lacks nothing that should be there.

Plus, the disciples on Qingluan Shanfeng are far fewer than on other peaks.

So even low-ranking 07 disciples each have their own cave.

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

"Senior Brother, this is what Master calls cutting expenses and opening new sources. Anyway, there are few people on our Qingluan Shanfeng, so leaving such a large area empty is just leaving it empty."

"Most importantly, our Qingluan Shanfeng is not as wealthy as other peaks, so we must save wherever we can."

Wang Wang Yuping awkwardly scratched his head.

"Doesn't the Zong Sect have Zong Sect missions? Don't you get rewards for completing them?"

Lin Bai was puzzled; if they could secure a few major missions, it shouldn't be like this.

Especially since the weakest among these people must be at least in the Golden Core Realm.

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

"Moreover, the Zong Sect's monthly subsidies for each peak are distributed according to mission rankings."

Mentioning this matter, Wang Wang Yuping became somewhat troubled.

Every time there are Zong Sect missions, by the time Qingluan Mountain Peak gets to choose, only those with extremely high difficulty or extremely low difficulty remain.

With their strength, they naturally dare not challenge the high-difficulty ones; a slight mistake could cost them their lives.

So they can only pick the remaining ones with extremely low difficulty and extremely meager rewards.

"Senior Brother, you know, we are the poorest in the entire Zhenggezong Sect, and we have the fewest people."

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

"Master often says, do not contend with people, contend with Heaven."

"Contending with people yields nothing; contending with Heaven yields real benefits. There is no need to care about those external things; as long as people are full and warm, that is enough."

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

Looking at Lin Bai, it seemed as if none of this mattered.

"Master's words are correct, but the premise is that others do not contend with us."

Lin Bai raised an eyebrow; indeed, what kind of Master brings what kind of disciple.

But since he chose this place, he naturally could not let it remain the same as before.

"Senior Brother, I heard you were first in our secret realm assessment this time, especially cutting down the Blood River in the secret realm and fighting a Supreme Realm expert alone. Is that true?"

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

They surrounded Lin Bai in the middle and began to ask enthusiastically.

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

Thinking they would ask later when there was an opportunity, they never expected this person to come right now.

Naturally, they could not wait to ask Lin Bai some things they wanted to know.

"It is me."

Lin Bai nodded; he would naturally not be modest, and even felt there was no need for modesty.

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

Upon receiving Lin Bai's answer, everyone was very excited.

The previous nine Holy Sons all went to other peaks after the secret realm trial ended; they were not interested in this place at all.

So what kind of person their eldest senior brother would be, they dared not even imagine.

"Enough; be careful, or Master will find out and punish you later."

Wang Wang Yuping could not bear to watch anymore and brought up Master.

Sure enough, upon hearing about punishment, they all retreated and returned to their positions.

"Senior Brother, we are back."

Hearing this, Lin Bai looked over; when he saw the few who spoke, his brows furrowed tightly, and he was somewhat displeased.

"What happened to you three?"

Wang Wang Yuping's face was no better than Lin Bai's; he saw the three walking back supporting each other, their faces bearing bruises of varying degrees of purple and blue, and their legs were slightly lame.

It was obvious they had just fought someone, and they were the ones who got bullied.

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

Afraid Wang Wang Yuping would worry, the few shook their heads and forced a smile, but as soon as they smiled, the injured corners of their mouths hurt, so the three smiled more painfully than they cried.

"How did you fall? Show me right here."

Wang Yuping frowned; he wasn't stupid, could he not tell if it was a fall or not?

Seeing they could not hide it, the few of them could only lay the whole matter out.

Originally, after collecting their supplies, they wanted to return quickly, but upon hearing that the Tenth Holy Disciple had come to their Green Phoenix Peak, they wanted to catch a glimpse of the real thing, so they walked a bit too hastily.

They accidentally bumped into Wei Xiang'an walking towards them.

They had already apologized, but the other party got even more audacious, insisting they had dirtied his clothes and demanding they lick them clean with their tongues.

They refused, so the other party had people beat them up.

If others hadn't shouted that the Elders were coming, the other party probably wouldn't have let it go.

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

After listening to what the few disciples said, Lin Bai walked ahead with a cold face.

Since Feng Feng Yunzheng declared in the main hall that from now on, besides him, Lin Bai would be the one in charge.

Then if his people were beaten, naturally he could not let it go; he must seek an explanation for his own people.

Did the other party really think their Green Phoenix Peak had no one left?

"Senior Brother, forget it, we are fine."

Seeing Lin Bai was somewhat angry, the three hurriedly waved their hands, fearing their Senior Brother, who had just entered Green Phoenix Peak, would provoke Wei Xiang'an because of them.

However, Lin Bai had already made up his mind about this matter and naturally would not turn back.

He leaped down from Green Phoenix Peak and went straight to the Zong Sect's supply distribution point.

"You go call the Master; I'll follow and see, so the Senior Brother doesn't get into trouble."

Wang Yuping looked tense, ordered the three to fetch their Master, and followed Lin Bai down the mountain peak himself.

"I didn't expect this year's female disciples to be more numerous than in previous years, and each one looks more fresh and lively than the last."

Wei Xiang'an sat on the stone steps, whistling occasionally to tease the women passing by.
