Chapter 270: Father and Son Vying for Favor

Master?

Everyone's expressions were wonderful.

The renowned Sword Demon actually calls someone a generation younger than him 'Master'?

You should know the Sword Demon became famous decades ago, while Ye Qingran is merely a somewhat well-known general's daughter from Xiliang City.

This scene looks ridiculous no matter how you look at it.

Earlier, hearing Feng Yi call Ye Qingran 'Grandmaster' was already shocking enough. After all, Jianchi Fengyi is a bit younger than Ye Qingran, so calling her Grandmaster is barely acceptable.

But the Sword Demon is several decades older than Ye Qingran, and calling her Master is somewhat unexpected.

Especially just now, the Sword Demon had Qingyun Sword Immortal call him 'Uncle-Master', while Ling Qingwu and the other Xuan Yuan Sword Sect disciples called him 'Grand-Uncle-Master'. If the Sword Demon calls Ye Qingran Master, then wouldn't Qingyun Sword Immortal have to call Ye Qingran 'Grand-Uncle-Master'? Wouldn't Ling Qingwu and the other Xuan Yuan disciples then have to call Ye Qingran 'Great Ancestor'?

What a confusing generation!

It seemed he didn't notice everyone's strange looks; the Sword Demon showed great respect for this Master who was several decades younger than him. Seeing his reverent demeanor, those unaware would think he was facing not a girl in her teens or twenties, but an elder over a hundred years old, virtuous and prestigious!

Ye Qingran smiled at the disciple before her, who could almost be her grandfather, curled the corner of her mouth, and cooperatively said, 'Be good, my disciple!'

All that's left is to pat his head!

Everyone: '……' Their inner feelings could almost be described as terrifying.

Just then, Feng Yi stepped forward, his handsome face breaking into a sunny smile, as if vying for favor with his father, and obediently called out, 'Grandmaster!'

This time Ye Qingran directly patted Feng Yi's head, saying, 'Be good, my grand-disciple!'

Seeing his son acting immaturely and vying for favor, the Sword Demon blew his nose and glared, 'You brat, get out of the way!'

Feng Yi glared back impolitely, 'I was here first!'

'What's the use of you coming first?'

'Being later than you is more useful!'

……

At the slightest disagreement, the famous Sword Demon father and son started arguing like this.

And the reason for their argument was actually about who was vying for favor?

It completely overturns one's worldview!

Sweat!

Could it be that this Sword Demon father and son have been bewitched by Ye Qingran?

Qingyun Sword Immortal's face was very grim.

He never expected the Sword Demon would call a woman of no renown his Master. Who is this woman? What is her background?

Qingyun Sword Immortal's gaze fixed on Ye Qingran, solemn yet probing.

At the same time, his heart was filled with anger.

He was certain the Sword Demon deliberately made him call him 'Uncle-Master' in front of everyone, then had his daughter and disciples call him 'Grand-Uncle-Master', and then turned around and called Ye Qingran Master.

Doesn't this mean he, Qingyun Sword Immortal, is Ye Qingran's grand-disciple?

What gives a background-less, powerless young girl the right to be Qingyun Sword Immortal's grand-uncle-master?

It's outright humiliation!

However, Qingyun Sword Immortal couldn't erupt; his eyes were dark and gloomy, as if he were calculating something.

'Master, is it that this grand-nephew-disciple of mine is oblivious and has offended you?' the Sword Demon asked coldly, glancing askance at Qingyun Sword Immortal.

Ye Qingran said lightly, 'Your grand-nephew-disciple is quite capable. Not only do you indulge your daughter in killing my son, but you keep saying my child is a wild bastard who deserves to die. Sword Demon, tell me, how should we handle this?'

'What?!'

The Sword Demon exclaimed in shock.

'Master, when did you have a child?'

Only then did he notice Ye Qingran had a tiny figure standing on her left and right, head tilted up, eyes like black grapes blinking at him.

That handsome, cute, soft little appearance, plus a lively temperament, instantly appealed to the Sword Demon's taste, stirring his heart.

'Emma, this child looks truly suited for sword cultivation!' the Sword Demon wished to abduct them to train in swordsmanship with him, but thinking that they had a mother far stronger than him, he could only give up.

However, those two gleaming eyes revealed his thoughts.

'Uncle, hello.'

Mo Xiaohu and Fu Qianchen said in unison.

That voice was extremely soft and sweet, melting into the Sword Demon's heart.

'So obedient!' the Sword Demon had already started thinking about what welcome gift to give these two junior disciples of his!

Turning his head, when he looked at Qingyun Sword Immortal, the Sword Demon's expression changed instantly: 'How outrageous! How could you lay hands on such adorable, innocent children? Ling Qingyun, you've really become capable!'

'Grand-Uncle-Master, Ye Qingran's two children are nothing but wild bastards! They don't deserve to live!'

'Scolding his junior disciple as deserving of death?'

'Great!'

'Kneel!'

Ling Qingwu trembled all over.

'How, you won't even obey your grand-uncle-master's words?'

Ling Qingwu stared in shock, instinctively looking at her father Qingyun Sword Immortal. Qingyun Sword Immortal lightly nodded at her.

Only then did Ling Qingwu reluctantly kneel.

'You call them wild bastards? Then what are you yourself? I've heard more than once that this grand-nephew-disciple of mine is still unmarried…'

This sentence from the Sword Demon made Ling Qingwu's face turn deathly pale.

Qingyun Sword Immortal's face also turned dark as iron.

The fact that he hasn't married is true. Ling Qingwu's mother was his one-night stand, and Ling Qingwu is the product of that night. He has many such offspring, but Ling Qingwu is the finest among them.

Although many in the Sword Sect know about this, no one would say it openly. Yet Sword Demon publicly announced it before countless people in Xiliang City, causing him to lose all face!

Upon hearing Sword Demon's words, everyone suddenly understood.

It turns out Ling Qingwu is also an illegitimate daughter! I thought she was a proper legitimate daughter!

She herself is an illegitimate daughter—how can she dare say those words? And she said bastards deserve to die; then shouldn't she die too?

Really, fifty steps laughing at a hundred steps—Ling Qingwu is truly hilarious!

……

The murmuring of the crowd reached Ling Qingwu's ears, making her expression grow ever uglier. She thought that since no one had mentioned this matter for years, it was already buried, but she never expected it to be spoken out in front of so many people...

She hated it so much!

Sword Demon no longer looked at Ling Qingwu, but coldly glared at Qingyun Sword Immortal: "Ling Qingyun, you really are getting worse with age. Leaving aside that she is your grandmaster uncle, even if she were just an ordinary person, you cannot allow your daughter to massacre innocents, can you?"

Qingyun Sword Immortal gritted his teeth.

Grandmaster Uncle?

Pah!

Just a little girl—what qualifies her to be Qingyun Sword Immortal's grandmaster uncle?

After a moment's thought, he raised his voice: "Martial Uncle, you don't know—Ye Qingran seriously injured my daughter first, and Qingwu was forced into this desperate move."

Qingyun Sword Immortal truly excels at reversing right and wrong. Clearly, your daughter lost repeatedly to Ye Qingran in matches, resenting it, you kidnapped someone's son, threatened her, and even tried to kill this child. How, when it comes to Qingyun Sword Immortal, does it become being forced into desperation?

Qingyun Sword Immortal's sharp gaze shot over, but Fu San, a master of Xi Ji, showed no fear whatsoever.

He felt a surge of sword intent coming at him, yet his face bore a faint, calm smile.

Seeing this, Qingyun Sword Immortal secretly felt startled.

Such a master has appeared in tiny Donglin Country—when did that happen?

In his shock, he then noticed a peerlessly handsome young man standing beside Fu San—unassuming, yet his aura was utterly stunning.

Qingyun Sword Immortal's pupils contracted slightly; he hastily averted his gaze, his heart pounding like thunder.

Grandmaster Uncle, you don't know—Ye Qingran secretly learned our newly added technique, Phantom Sword Meteor, from the Profound Origin Sword Canon, and moreover passed it on to an outsider without permission!

Ling Qingwu shouted angrily.

Phantom Sword Meteor?

Sword Demon raised his snowy white eyebrows high, his flowing white hair dancing in the wind.
