2209 Fairy Linglong"s Mental Breakdown (2)
"Fourth Junior?"
Fairy Linglong was dumbfounded.
Wait a moment, what?
That young man named Zheng Yang is already famous throughout the Sky of Blazing Sun for his powerful cultivation and ingenious spearmanship. With his frightening fighting prowess, he has already defeated quite a few veteran Conferred God Kings.
Due to that, that darned pervert has already bragged about this matter to me several times.
And you are right now that Zheng Yang... is your junior?
"So, he's also a student of that teacher you mentioned, is he?" Fairy Linglong asked with bulging eyes.
"That's right!" Wang Ying nodded.
Her teacher had decided on their rankings when he finally accepted them as his direct disciples, and Zheng Yang happened to be ranked fourth.
Fairy Linglong was unable to speak for a very long while.
She had never expected to hear something so shocking. To think that they were under the same teacher...
She had thought that it was already amazingly fortunate for the teacher of Wang Ying and Wei Ruyan to take them in as his disciples, but who could have known that Zheng Yang was his disciple too?
It was no wonder those two were unwilling to acknowledge her as their teacher. It seemed like their teacher was quite a figure, too.
But so what?
She was still a God Monarch!
On the other hand, their teacher was a mere God realm cultivator. Even if he was lucky enough to have taken in three talented cultivators, he could not compete with her!
Fairy Linglong felt that she still had an advantage.
No matter what, she had to convince these two about the perilous situation they were in. Otherwise, she would not be able to impart her techniques to them, and they would not be able to compete with the Conferred God Kings of the other Skies!
Fairy Linglong quickly calmed herself down before carrying on with a solemn voice."Even if Zheng Yang is your junior and will go easy on you, there are still other strong Conferred God Kings that you need to pay attention to. Take the disciple whom God Monarch Fumeng has taken in, Zhao Ya, for example. She is rumored to be on par with Zheng Yang in terms of strength. The Sky of Adamant Gold is located in the west of the Firmament whereas the Sky of Linglong is located in the southwest. Due to our close proximity, there's a great likelihood that we'll come to blows with one another. If you don't brush up on your skills under my guidance, it'll be hard for you to stand against her..."
"That's my First Senior, " Wang Ying replied quietly.
"..."
Fairy Linglong's eyelids twitched upon hearing those words. Unable to keep her cool, she asked, "What about Conferred God King Lu Chong of the Sky of Drifting Specter? He should have nothing to do with you, right? He's actually really powerful..."
"That's my Sixth Junior."
"..."
Fairy Linglong's facial expression was starting to run amok at this point."What about Conferred God King Liu Yang, Conferred God King Zhang Jiuxiao, and Conferred God King Kong Shiyao of the Sky of Cloud Dragon? Surely you can't be related to them too."
"They are my Third Junior, Eighth Junior, and Ninth Junior."
Wang Ying was feeling quite relieved to hear that her senior and juniors were faring well in the Firmament.
However, Fairy Linglong looked as if she was going to descend into lunacy."What about the new Conferred God Kings of the Sky of Acheron, Yuan Tao, Dan Xiaotian, and Bai Ruanqing?"
"They are my Fifth Junior, Tenth Junior, and Eleventh Junior."
Pu!
Unable to take it any longer, Fairy Linglong spurted a mouthful of blood.
She could not help but recall how all the God Monarchs were delighted to have managed to find their own successors. All of them were confident that they would be able to gain more resources for themselves for the Flood of Spiritual Energy. But in the end, it turned out that all their successors had the same teacher.
They were all from the same lineage!
It could still be considered luck if a teacher accepted two or three talented cultivator as his disciples, but to have eleven of such disciples... such a thing definitely could not be shrugged off as mere luck!
"Is your teacher really just a God realm cultivator?" Fairy Linglong asked.
"Indeed. When we entered the Celestial Mountain, our teacher was still at the God realm..."
"An ordinary God wouldn't have had the privilege of enjoying an abundance of cultivation resources and the Spacetime Mirror, so I reckon it's unlikely for him to have become a Celestial God. For such a person to actually have so many Conferred God Kings as his disciples..." Fairy Linglong could hardly come to terms with this reality.
Was that fellow not a little too frightening?
No, wait a moment... Since their teacher had not caught the gaze of any God Monarchs yet, if she found him first and convince him to submit to her, would she not gain control over all of those Conferred God Kings as well?
With such thoughts in mind, Fairy Linglong's eyes lit up as she asked, "Is your teacher still in the Sky of Drifting Specter? Is there anyone who knows of his relationship with you?"
Wang Ying pondered for a moment before replying, "Our teacher has always preferred to keep a low profile. He'll be content as long as we're getting along fine, so it's highly unlikely that he'd talk about his relationship with us of his own accord. As for whether he's still in the Sky of Drifting Specter or not, we haven't contacted him for a month now, so we don't really know for certain..."
If there was anyone who knew Zhang Xuan the best, it was his direct disciples.
Kind, humble, and low profile—their teacher was a person overflowing with virtues.
Even though they had already been through three worlds together, they still had not been able to see anyone who could match him in terms of character.
Unless any of them were in a position of danger, it was unlikely that he would show himself before the God Monarchs.
Currently, her juniors and senior were getting along well, and they had even managed to become Conferred God Kings. Given her understanding of their teacher, he would probably try to stay out of their path to avoid troubling them.
"That's good..." Fairy Linglong heaved a sigh of relief.
The fact that the person's identity had not been revealed yet meant that the other God Monarchs would not be able to get to him before her. Forcefully calming herself down, Fairy Linglong asked, "May I know your teacher's name? What does he look like?"
She would have to first find him based on his name and appearance before figuring out a way to forge a good relationship with him.
"Our teacher seeks a humble and low-profile life. He'll be displeased if he finds out that we revealed his identity to another person. Your Sovereignty, I have to ask for your understanding in this matter..." Wang Ying bowed deeply.
As her teacher's disciple, she had to respect her teacher's wish for privacy.
"I understand that you are concerned about your teacher, but once your relationship with Zhao Ya, Zheng Yang, Yuan Tao, and the others is known by the others, there will surely be people who start looking into this matter. No matter how low profile your teacher might be, it's only a matter of time before someone figures out his relationship with the rest of you. By then, he might face a great deal of trouble, especially from the other God Monarchs. You must understand that I'm not trying to make things difficult for you or your teacher. If possible, I would like to help you protect your teacher as well so that you can set your mind at ease, " Fairy Linglong explained.
"This..." Wang Ying and Wei Ruyan looked at each other hesitantly to decide on what they should do.
There was a grain of truth to what Fairy Linglong had said.
With their current fame in the Firmament, there would surely be curious individuals who would try digging into their background.
Unlike them, their teacher did not have the guidance of a God Monarch, the aid of overpowered artifacts such as the Spacetime Mirror, or an abundance of cultivation resources. If someone intended him harm, it would be difficult for him to protect himself!
So, it would be wonderful if Fairy Linglong was sincere in wanting to help them protect their teacher. That would really set their minds at ease.
"Rest assured, I am a woman true to my words. I only want to know his identity in order to protect him; I have no plans of causing him any trouble. As a God Monarch, I won't stoop so low as to spout lies to you two..." Fairy Linglong further reassured them.
"Your Sovereignty, we trust you."
There was no reason for someone as powerful as a God Monarch to fool them like that. Knowing that Fairy Linglong had good intentions at heart, Wang Ying hesitated for a moment before adding, "If you manage to find our teacher, I hope that you can bring us over so that we can pay respects to him..."
"That isn't a problem!" Fairy Linglong replied.
"Alright then. It's unlikely that Your Sovereignty will have heard of our teacher... He's a humble cultivator who goes by the name of 'Zhang Xuan'!"
Putong!
Fairy Linglong's foot slipped, and she fell to the ground.
