Chapter 1030: Little Junior Brother Is Going to Get Scolded! Big Brothers and Big Sisters!

Half an hour later, Sakura Rin lay sprawled beside the hot spring pool.

Her black tresses spilled across the water's edge, her eyes half-rolled upward, her pale, delicate body trembling unconsciously.

"Holy... Holy Maiden, are you alright?"

A young girl entered, her face flushed red yet filled with concern as she asked.

"Mmm~~"

Sakura Rin let out a soft whimper; after a while, her consciousness slowly returned: "Hot spring? How did I end up here?"

Her expression remained dazed.

"Holy Maiden, don't you remember? Just now, you were attending to Lord Lei Di..."

The girl replied softly.

The twenty of us have been waiting outside the hot spring all along.

The sounds coming from the hot spring were simply unbelievable coming from that exalted Holy Maiden.

"Attending?"

Sakura Rin froze for a moment, then recalled the full sequence of events.

She never imagined that after several times, she would faint dead away.

Her master's physique is too strong...

She silently marveled inwardly, and not seeing Xu Jingming in the hot spring, she asked: "Where is my master?"

"Lord Lei Di has already left. Before departing, he instructed us to take good care of you," the girl replied, her voice tinged with envy.

"Left already..."

Sakura Rin felt a pang of disappointment, but immediately a blissful smile appeared on her face.

She never expected to receive the same treatment as the other women of her master; just a trace of care, the chance to serve him well—that was enough.

"Inform them: gather all eighth-rank Grand Masters. Meeting in the conference room in ten minutes."

Sakura Rin ordered.

Though her master had departed, she would surely carry out his will!

But the moment she tried to rise, her legs buckled, and she collapsed helplessly back into the pool.

"Holy Maiden?" The girl stared at her in confusion.

"Postpone the meeting to one hour from now," Sakura Rin said, her cheeks flushed pink.

She had overestimated her physical condition; she estimated it would take another half hour to recover...

Madagascar Island, upper atmosphere, Floating Island No. 1.

In a small pavilion outside Ai Mose's villa, three people waited: two men and one woman.

One was Moon Shadow Divine Official; the other two were Ai Mose's other two disciples, Lu Rui and Jie La.

The three sat inside the pavilion, sipping tea and chatting.

"I never expected the United Nations meeting on Blue Star would invite us."

Jie La, the only woman among them, spoke with a smile.

She wore a fitted light Ai Mose-colored combat suit, had long blue hair, a tall, slender figure, and a beautiful face.

"How could they not invite us?"

Lu Rui raised an eyebrow. "We of the Firebrand World have three Supreme Beings, plus dozens of ninth-rank cultivators. Blue Star could never ignore such power."

They had also received invitations to attend the UN meeting in Iceland, which was why they were gathered here.

"Pity our number of Supreme Beings is still too few; otherwise, we could have seized Blue Star outright and reestablished Jin State."

Having grown up immersed in the glory of Jin State, he found it intolerable that Blue Star contained over a hundred nations.

"Don't underestimate Blue Star's psychics. With our current situation, reestablishing Jin State is impossible," Moon Shadow Divine Official said, shaking his head slightly.

"It's not that I underestimate them—it's that they're genuinely weak."

Lu Rui sneered. "I'm currently ninth-rank mid-tier. Among peers, if Blue Star can find even one psychic matching my strength, I'll admit defeat."

"A bunch of ninth-ranks, most are only S-class; SS-class are vanishingly rare. How can their talent compare to ours in the Firebrand World?"

As a disciple of Ai Mose, Lu Rui's talent, needless to say, was exceptional.

At just forty-three, he had broken through to ninth-rank mid-tier and possessed a Strengthening-type SS-class psychic ability.

"That's not certain."

Jie La smiled sweetly. "Isn't our little junior brother a prodigy? Even Ai Lun isn't his match."

"Little junior brother? Blue Star has produced only one such prodigy."

At the mention of Xu Jingming, even the usually arrogant Lu Rui couldn't help but show admiration.

"That's true."

Jie La nodded slightly, then turned to Moon Shadow Divine Official with curiosity: "Big brother, didn't Teacher teach the Heavenly Mechanism Eye to the little junior brother? Has he come to ask you questions lately?"

"Teacher didn't assign me to guide him. She told the little junior brother to come directly to her if he has questions."

Moon Shadow Divine Official shook his head.

"Go directly to Teacher?" Jie La murmured in amazement. "That's better treatment than we got."

Aside from Big Brother Moon Shadow Divine Official, who was directly guided by Teacher Ai Mose, both she and Second Brother learned the Heavenly Mechanism Eye from Big Brother.

"The little junior brother's talent is astonishing; it's natural he receives such treatment."

Moon Shadow Divine Official smiled. "But from what I know, he hasn't visited Teacher in the past half month."

"Not at all?"

Second Brother Lu Rui laughed incredulously. "Does the little junior brother think Teacher is as easygoing as everyone else? Whether he learns or not is one thing—but not coming to seek guidance for half a month? That's a matter of attitude."

"When the little junior brother shows up, he's probably going to get scolded," Jie La said, shaking her head slightly.

As an ultimate powerhouse, Emers was extremely strict with her students.

When she first entered Emers's sect, she was punished for slacking slightly in her cultivation of a combat technique.

"Wait until the junior brother arrives, then we'll remind him about the Heavenly Mechanism Eye," said the Moon Shadow Divine Officer, pondering.

"I heard this junior brother is quite handsome—I wonder if it's true," said Jie La with a light laugh.

"Whether true or not, you'll know soon—the junior brother has arrived."

The Moon Shadow Divine Officer rose with a smile; Jie La and Lu Rui also sensed something, turning toward the horizon.

Indeed, a black, inverted-triangle-shaped combat aircraft was hurtling toward them from the horizon at extreme speed.

"Let's go meet this junior brother our teacher just took in."

Jie La flew off with a girlish laugh, followed closely by the Moon Shadow Divine Officer and Lu Rui.

Hss—

The aircraft hovered above Island No. 1; as Xu Jingming stepped out, he immediately saw the three of them.

He respectfully called out: "Senior Brother."

"Come, come, let me introduce you—this is your second senior brother, Lu Rui; this is your third senior sister, Jie La."

Said the Moon Shadow Divine Officer with a smile.

"Hearing of you is not the same as meeting you—Junior Brother, you truly live up to the rumors, possessing an extraordinary aura."

In Jie La's beautiful eyes, a faint gleam shimmered; beside her, Lu Rui also offered a friendly smile.

Aside from all else, Xu Jingming's SSS-rank ability alone made him far more prodigious in ability rank than they were.

"Second senior brother, third senior sister," Xu Jingming quickly greeted them in turn.

"Xu Jingming has arrived? Come right over."

From inside the villa came Ai Mose's melodious, slightly sacred and imposing voice.

"I'll go meet the teacher first—senior brothers and sisters, we'll talk later."

"Go ahead."

Xu Jingming immediately flew toward the villa.

The flying robot controlled by Eva gripped the charred Tian Hen and followed closely behind him.

"The teacher called him urgently—it seems we won't be able to warn him," said the Moon Shadow Divine Officer, somewhat helpless.

"It's fine—misfortune teaches wisdom; the junior brother will come to understand the teacher's good intentions."

Lu Rui grinned.

He himself had once been scolded by Ai Mose, so he was perfectly content with this.
