Chapter 983 - 983 One For One

983 One For One

While Ye Jiushang and Xue Fanxin were chatting in the small dilapidated room, something that would not have happened normally was happening somewhere in the Flowing Cloud Sect.

The Master Xianyang in the canteen personally came and went to the Sect Master of the Flowing Cloud Sect. He went straight to the point and said, “After so many years, I’ve never set foot here. I’m here today for one thing and one person.”

“Martial Uncle, you’re an elder. If an elder has a request, I’ll naturally do my best to fulfill it. May I know why you’re here this time and who it’s about?” The Sect Master of the Flowing Cloud Sect addressed Master Xianyang as Martial Uncle respectfully.

This was a world where the strong were respected. Whoever was stronger was respected.

Master Xianyang was very powerful. In the Flowing Cloud Sect, he was the strongest existence apart from that mysterious person. Even he, the Sect Master, was no match for him.

Facing such an expert, even he, as the Sect Master, had to be polite.

“There’s a new disciple called An Xiaomeng. I want this person.”

The Sect Master of the Flowing Cloud Sect did not answer immediately. Instead, he pondered for a moment.

If it were anyone else, he would have agreed readily. However, those new disciples were to be offered to that lord. He really could not casually make the decision, especially since the better the talent, the more he could not lose it.

To be chosen by Master Xianyang, that new disciple called An Xiaomeng must be extraordinary. Such a person should be offered to that lord.

Seeing that the Sect Master of the Flowing Cloud Sect had yet to give him an answer, Master Xianyang urged him. “Why? Can’t I ask you for a new disciple? Although that girl has an extreme water spirit vein, her talent is only mediocre. It’s just that her courage and intelligence are different from ordinary people. Among this batch of new disciples, a few are more talented than her.”

Although he did not want to see those children being persecuted, his ability was limited. He could not save these children at all. All he could do now was try his best to protect that smart little girl.

“Martial Uncle, you’re an old man in the sect and know a lot of secrets, so I won’t say some things too harshly. You know very well the use of those new disciples. Even if they’re just a seedling with good talent, I can’t give them away casually, because that lord has been urging me a lot recently. Why don’t we do this? Unless you can find Xue Fanxin and capture her, I’ll leave that new disciple called An Xiaomeng to you.”

“Are you deliberately making things difficult for me?”

Although he had been staying in the Flowing Cloud Sect’s canteen as a cook, he still knew a little about what was going on outside.

Who was Xue Fanxin? She was the Ninth Imperial Consort of the current Ninth Lord and the wife of the Palace Master of the Nine Cloud Palace. How could such a person be easily captured?

Even if he really found Xue Fanxin and captured her, it was still a big problem if he could bring her back to the Flowing Cloud Sect alive.

He was definitely not stupid enough to go against Ye Jiushang.

“Martial Uncle, I’m not deliberately making things difficult for you, but I really don’t have a choice. I only found ten good seedlings this year, far from enough to offer to that lord. Yet you still want to take one from me, then how should I explain it? If you really want that new disciple, exchanging one for one is the best solution.” The Sect Master of the Flowing Cloud Sect refused to let go and refused to hand An Xiaomeng over.

Actually, handing over a new disciple was not a big deal, but it was rare for Master Xianyang to request it of him. If he did not make good use of this opportunity, wouldn’t it be a pity?

“Don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking. At most, I’ll leave the Flowing Cloud Sect with my people.” Master Xianyang was not to be trifled with. He would not be easily threatened and left after saying ruthless words.

He really regretted coming to look for the Sect Master of the Flowing Cloud Sect today. This had undoubtedly pushed An Xiaomeng to the top of the storm.

He regretted it!
