Chapter 13 Filling in the Blanks is Fatal, No Need to Trouble the Master
After leaving Jiang Minghan’s palace, Ye Qingxuan’s head was still buzzing, not fully processing what had just happened.
“Maybe I haven’t interacted with the Master enough, always thinking he’s aloof and unapproachable…”
“But with his status, a single word or command would resolve this trouble, yet he chose to take action personally.”
“I’m merely an insignificant follower, why would he treat me so well…”
Her mind was a mess, filled with all kinds of thoughts.
She didn’t even know how she made it back to her cave dwelling.
“Well, Ye Qingxuan, you secretly went to see the Master, and you’re blushing…”
Just then, a clear, bell-like laugh came from the side.
On a small mountain shrouded in green mist stood a woman in a black dress, her appearance enchanting, her legs particularly long, and her skin as delicate as porcelain. She stood there with her arms crossed, looking at Ye Qingxuan with great interest.
Her black hair flowed like a waterfall, her eyes had a faint red hue, and several white fluffy fox tails trailed behind her, exuding a seductive charm.
“Yan Yuchu, what are you doing here?”
Ye Qingxuan reverted to her usual cold and elegant demeanor, glanced at her, and asked indifferently.
“Tell me why you went to see the Master, and then I’ll tell you.”
The woman named Yan Yuchu laughed crisply, her appearance becoming even more enchanting.
“If you have the guts, go ask the Master yourself.”
Ye Qingxuan showed a timely smirk of mockery.
Unless there was something important, disturbing Jiang Minghan would result in severe punishment.
“Hmph, knowing I don’t dare…”
Yan Yuchu rolled her eyes.
Seeing her like this, Ye Qingxuan’s cold and elegant face showed a bit of helplessness and explained,
“Some issues arose in my family, and I need to return. So I went to inform the Master and seek his permission.”
She and Yan Yuchu were among the closer followers of Jiang Minghan, often interacting.
Yan Yuchu came from the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, exceptionally talented and powerful.
Even among the strong followers, she ranked in the upper middle.
In the outside world, she was a renowned young supreme, with countless admirers.
“Oh, so that’s why.”
Hearing this, Yan Yuchu looked a bit disappointed, “Then why did you look so dazed when you left?”
“Because I think I might not know the Master well enough. I always thought he was like a deity, far above us mortals, but today…”
Thinking about it, Ye Qingxuan’s fair face showed a faint blush.
She then told Yan Yuchu about what happened in the palace in detail.
“What? The Master is willing to personally help you with such a small issue. Why?”
After hearing this, Yan Yuchu’s eyes widened with envy.
“What did you do to deserve such kindness from the Master? You hardly ever speak to him.”
“When I went to see the Master, he just casually brushed me off and couldn’t be bothered to guide my cultivation…”
“Boohoo…”
She pouted.
She was genuinely envious.
“What kind of person do you think the Master is?”
Ye Qingxuan felt strange thoughts, even a bit of fearful hope.
“The Master? He’s born invincible, destined to conquer the ages and break through the immortal path.”
“His talent is terrifying, his power unmatched. Though he doesn’t act often, he always overwhelms the younger generation, making them regret being born in the same era.”
“Being his follower is a fortune accumulated over many lifetimes.”
Upon hearing this, Yan Yuchu’s eyes sparkled with admiration.
“Yes, you’re right. The Master is kind and gentle, treating people with humility. It’s really hard to find any flaws.”
“I even heard that the Master didn’t actually go to cancel the engagement with the former saintess of the Butian God Sect, but to visit her. He’s not as heartless as the rumors say.”
Ye Qingxuan wholeheartedly agreed.
Though she hadn’t interacted much with Jiang Minghan, she could sense his unfathomable strength.
She didn’t doubt that even if all his followers attacked together, they couldn’t match a single finger of Jiang Minghan’s.
***
Three days passed in a flash.
Jiang Minghan had no intention of staying in the clan, seizing the chance to seek out a Son of Luck.
There were still two binding slots available in the system.
According to Ye Qingxuan’s description, while the Ye family wasn’t the top power on Chiyan Ancient Star, it wasn’t likely to provoke enemies without reason.
A suspected Divine King.
In remote life stars, such a figure could act with impunity, unchallenged.
“Tell me about that young man…”
On the ancient warship, Jiang Minghan blew on his tea leisurely.
“Master, that young man’s name is Ye Xuan, a branch member of my Ye family. Recently, in the family competition, he soared to prominence, surpassing many clansmen, even besting many direct disciples.” Ye Qingxuan explained respectfully.
“Ye Xuan, that’s a good name,” Jiang Minghan smiled.
“Master, why trouble yourself with such a trivial matter?”
“Chiyan Ancient Star isn’t far from our clan. One command from you, and our elders can capture that suspected Divine King.”
“He doesn’t even recognize who Qingxuan follows. Isn’t he courting death?”
A tall, burly young man with horns and a furnace-like aura spoke up, puzzled.
The other followers on the ancient warship also didn’t understand.
To them, such a trivial matter didn’t warrant Jiang Minghan’s personal attention.
“The Master’s status is unparalleled. Qingxuan, if you encounter such problems, just tell us. There’s no need to trouble the Master.” Other followers said to Ye Qingxuan, frowning, thinking she had sought Jiang Minghan’s help.
Many among them could easily resolve such small issues with a word.
