Long Guang acted like a child as soon as he saw his master’s face. After feeling his aura, he knew that this was his master, a real one. No one would also dare impersonate his master, given how powerful his master was. He wondered how powerful his master had become now that it had already been years.
“Master, you’re back!” Long Guang cried in happiness as he pounced on Yang Lujia and hugged him to the waist.
Yang Lujia felt the warmth he had not felt for a while now. His second disciple was still the best and the most doted disciple he had. “You looked like a grown-up just now and instantly turned into a kid the moment I appeared. Hahaha.”
Long Guang immediately separated himself from his master’s body and looked on awkwardly. He scratched the tip of his nose and looked at his master one more time. “Master, I’ve cultivated to the peak of this realm. Plus, I am now four years old, although I look a lot bigger than before!”
“You also speak so well now,” Yang Lujia replied, petting his disciple’s head and looking around the hall, and then his gaze landed on Sheng Ao. “By the way, I found and accepted another disciple. He’s going to be your fourth junior brother. His name is Sheng Ao. You can call him Baldy.”
“Baldy?” Long Guang’s teen-like voice echoed across the whole room. “Fourth junior brother? Could it be…”
Long Guang already understood that all his master’s disciples were monsters at their own game. He knew that his senior brother was also a monster as he could cultivate at least as fast as him. Moreover, when he checked Sheng Ao’s body and saw that this fourth junior brother of his was already at the Saint Emperor Realm, he was shocked. Moreover, Sheng Ao seemed to have reached the same extreme as him, who had created 999 crowns when he was at the Saint Realm.
His master was really good at picking disciples with seemingly endless talent!
“Greetings, senior brother! I am Sheng Ao, the former Holy Son of the Holy Light Palace and now, the fourth disciple of Master Yang Lujia!” Sheng Ao introduced himself passionately and knelt in front of Long Guang. “I very much admire senior brother’s deterrence towards his people. Even I cannot probably do that.”
“Wahahaha!” Long Guang suddenly let out a laugh and appeared beside Sheng Ao like a ghost. He then slapped his back and said. “Fourth junior brother, you don’t have to compliment me! I, your second junior brother, will guide you to greatness! Your bald head is really shiny, though. Could it be some kind of armor?”
‘What the hell is this kid asking?’ Yang Lujia could not find the exact words upon hearing what his second disciple said to his fourth junior brother.
“Ahh…” Sheng Ao felt somewhat troubled and looked at their master, waiting for his master to answer his senior brother on behalf of him.
“Long Guang, he really did not have any hair. That’s why he’s bald. He’s some kind of monk. You sure know what monks are, right?”
Long Guang pondered over it. “So, it’s not some kind of armor? Just his bare head?”
“Yes, yes, senior brother,” Sheng Ao quickly replied.
“Wait, wait, when did you get another pet other than Brownie, master? Anyway, Brownie, we have not played for a few years now… want to play with me?” Although he already turned into an adult, in terms of how his memories were giving him information, he was still a child by heart. Especially everything he felt agitated, he would skip from one topic to another.
“Yes, yes.” Long Guang grinned. “You’ve also grown big, Brownie!”
“Kid, do you want to spar with me?” Brownie licked his lips as he felt confident now after cultivating with Yang Lujia for several years.
“Come!”
However, their delusions were immediately interrupted by Yang Lujia. “Stop, you two, and also, Brownie, you won’t be able to defeat his kid. He had achieved the extreme in his every realm. If someone could defeat him, it can only be either his senior brother or Feng Huang and this kid Sheng Ao, provided that they also reached the same stage as him.”
“Eh?” Brownie was surprised. “This kid’s actually that strong?”
“Why? You don’t believe me? Go and fight him, then,” Yang Lujia replied, insinuating this dog that was always filled with arrogance.
Brownie, however, wasn’t an idiot. He knew that Yang Lujia was telling the truth. Otherwise, he would not have told him to back off. Moreover, the more he looked into Long Guang’s body, the more he felt like there was definitely something more than what met his eyes.
“Alright, I won’t spar with him,” Brownie compromised.
Long Guang pouted and looked at his master. “By the way, master, what brings you here?”
“I have someone to fetch from your palace. Other than that, I am also here to clear out the name of your fourth junior brother.”
“Someone? Who is it, master?” He was curious.
“Sheng Ao actually knows. It will be your fifth junior sister.”
“Another junior sister this time?” Long Guang looked at his master with surprise. “It seems like I’ll have several junior brothers and sisters in the future. It’ll be worth it if I get to teach them things and all.”
He was excited. However, he frowned when he remembered something had happened to sully his fourth junior brother’s reputation. Who was it? Who dared to do it to his fourth junior brother? He had to ask his master!
“Master! Who dared to do it to fourth junior brother? Isn’t that person courting death? With me around, who will be able to hurt fourth junior brother? Not to mention, you are here, master!” Long Guang felt indignant.
Sheng Ao, who was watching from the side, felt some warmth in his heart when he saw how his senior brother reacted like that. He was the type to not feel any kind of emotions but from the moment he began cultivating the Golden Lotus Scripture, he felt these different emotions and did not need to restrain any of them. It was strange for him, but he kind of liked the feeling.
“Thank you for your concern, second junior brother, but Sheng Ao is doing fine right now! Besides, master is trying to help me to find the culprit!” Sheng Ao replied with great enthusiasm.
Long Guang nodded and looked at his master once more, his eyes oozing with curiosity. “By the way, master, what is our fifth junior sister’s name? Maybe I can help since you said you came here to fetch her.”
Sheng Ao looked at his master, and so did Brownie. They were all curious.
“Kun Peng.”
“A Kun!” Brownie exclaimed. “Someone from that tribe? The Kun Tribe is known to be comparable to some true dragons! Someone of that stature is actually here? Or her name was only something made-up?”
“Oh, wait, master! I seemed to have remembered that name before! She was like a subordinate or something of a Dragon Prince. Let me find—”
“No need. I already found her.”
“That fast?!”
“Here she is,” Yang Lujia said as he teleported a little girl, even smaller than the current Long Guang.
“What a frail kid,” Brownie said as he frowned. “Could she really be someone from that tribe?”
“Kun Tribe, huh?” Yang Lujia said as he raised his brows.
On the other hand, Kun Peng, the little girl, looked at the people around her. Their gazes fell on her as she shuddered. She remembered that time. All people’s gazes were on her while she was being hit around by one of the Dragon Princes. She thought he was very kind to her, but it turned out that he only wanted her to become her toy. That Dragon Prince even said that he only allowed her to live just for the sake of making her his sex toy when she grew up. That made her cry despite not understanding what it meant.
“WAHHH!” she cried out, covering her face with her two small hands, clearly terrified of being stared at by others. She then forced herself to stand up and looked at the huge door of the hall.
Although she was afraid, the instinct to continue living kicked her guts. Thus, she stood up! She wanted to be free from this misery! She was tired! She didn’t know who she was or why she was even here. Her only thought was to escape and hide in someplace!
