I am the Young Master - Chapter 35
(A/N: thank you for the gifts: Eroos and akserhy.
By the way, if you haven’t already, give the novel a review. You can always write a new one in the future if you think that the rating should be changed or if you need the XP.
Anyway thank you for all the support, go ahead and read the story…)
——
The rest of the day passed in relative quiet. I went back to my room and well, wasted my time doing absolutely nothing of importance. What I did was to write all of the plots that I remembered from the novels that I have read in the past. Who knows, they might come in handy one day.
For your interest, I didn’t write them in English like an idiot. Why? What if another person from earth finds my notes? Isn’t it the same as me drawing a target on my face? That is just plain stupid.
So I did what a true intellectual would do.
I wrote all of my notes in Galactic Basic. If you don’t know, Galactic Basic is the most prevalent language of the Star Wars.
Don’t look at me with your judgmental eyes. This was from a time that I was young and needed a way to hide my written thoughts from my parents so this was the best alternative that I came up with at the time.
Say anything you want, no one is going to know it even if they are reincarnated/transmigrated here. The chances of a star wars fan who knows Galactic Basic to reincarnate in a cultivation world is so negligible that I would take my chances with this one…
You can argue that ‘aren’t you a star wars fan tho?’. Well, I have no answer to that so yeah, the weather is nice today…
Anyway, the day passed and we had to gather to go to the [Eternal Wail Chasm].
The place for this gathering is in front of the sect’s entrance.
As I have said before, flying in the starting part of the sect’s entry is forbidden because the sect’s founding ancestors walked this path so this has a symbolic meaning to it. Because of this, when there is a big gathering that needs a big transport, it would take place outside of the sect as to not disrespect the founding ancestors.
I have always liked a walk so I have no problem with this situation, but it might not be the same with others.
If the huffing and puffing that I hear around me could be considered an indication, I can be sure that some don’t like it.
Well, I can’t blame them. I mean not only us 100 selected have to get there but there are also other disciples who are walking toward the same destination as us, some for sightseeing, some for wishing luck for their lovers or masters…
All of a sudden I could see my surroundings clear a bit, I thought my young master halo finally worked and they put some distance so that they would not disrespect me or something.
As I was basking in my young master privileges, I missed a crucial fact.
That fact was ‘But why would they do it suddenly?’.
Just as this thought was surfacing in my mind, It didn’t get the chance to be processed and i was hugged.
I didn’t even need to look to find out who was the assailant. Well, I have to add the fact that I couldn’t look if I wanted to because I was pressed against the assailant’s boobs.
Who was it? Well, who could it be other than Hu Anjing?
This development could lead to many protagonists getting a nose bleed but thankfully I had my fair share of experience so this much was not a problem for me and my little brother was relatively calm.
After a few seconds, I could see the hands around my head loosening.
Reluctantly I parted with those pair of firm cushions, but I had no other options.
What? I said I had experience, but I didn’t say that I was a eunuch.
As I looked at Hu Anjing I could see her glaring at other disciples so that they don’t dare look at us.
Sensing my look on her she turned to me with a mischievous smile.
“How are you junior uncle?” she asked with expectation evident in her eyes.
“Well, with that kind of greeting I have to say I am feeling pretty good,” I told her and turned around.
“But, I can’t say the same for others…” I looked at other disciples.
The male disciples were red, either because they were angry that I got Hu Anjing ‘all for myself’ or they were ashamed of this intimate gesture.
The female disciples were the same with one difference. The angry ones were angry at Hu Anjing for ‘hoarding young master Li’ all for herself.
Well, except Lai Xinyue who was looking with no emotion on her face, and Jin Fen who was looking at Lai Xinyue’s reaction.
‘As expected of them…’ I thought and mentally shrugged.
Hu Anjing who looked at the disciples only smirked as a response. Without any hesitation she took my hand we walked toward the sect’s entrance.
I just looked at her with an amused look on my face.
“You know that taking my hand in public would create some rumors, right?” I asked her. I don’t care about it but the society in a cultivation world is like this. Even the smallest intimate gestures between husband and wife shouldn’t be done in public.
Well, I might have been a little too harsh, but the reality is that the physical touches are something that at the very least start rumors.
Hu Anjing looked at me and spoke with her usual attitude.
“What rumors can be about a niece and her uncle?” she had her grin on her face as she got closer to me.
‘Oh, my poor Hu Anjing. Thank god you don’t know about the Internet and its dark sides…’ I thought.
“But we are not ‘a niece and her uncle’ we are ‘a martial niece and her martial uncle’…” I tried to reason with her although I know it was a futile effort.
“It’s okay, what is the worst that can happen.” Hu Anjing told me dismissively.
I was thinking about it for a little and couldn’t help but to agree with her.
“True.” I nodded to her words.
We walked and soon we reached the entrance of the sect. Outside you could see some elders waiting and as I thought grand elder Wan was also standing there.
As this is a gathering of the seven holy lands, they have to send someone important to show their superiority to each other and other smaller powerhouses.
As the 100 selected disciples got out of the sect and the other disciples waited inside the sect, all of the disciples cupped their fists and greeted the grand elder Wan, after a nod grand elder Wan spoke to the disciples.
“I hope you had a pleasant rest last night.” He smiled amiably.
After a few seconds, he continued.
“As the distance is not very close, we would have to go today to be there the next day, so we will be using a flying treasure.” As he said that he materialized a flying treasure from his storage pouch.
Why do I say from his storage pouch instead of his storage ring? Because this thing is huge as fuck!
It is not a flying treasure, it is a flying fortress.
It was built in the style of Chinese ships. The closest thing to this is Zheng He’s flagship. it was very big and luxurious. the ship masts were in the form of a sword and that created a nice view.
Seeing this ship even my jaw almost dropped. The style and the side aside, How did they make this huge ass ship fly? The formations that were worked in it were a work of art without a doubt and the spirit stones that were used in it had to sum up to an astronomical amount.
This is clearly in overkill for transporting 100 disciples and 20 elders but one can see that this is a power move from the sect to the others in these trials.
My mortal self couldn’t comprehend this level of flexing until I remembered that back in my past life it was the same if we exclude the Qi.
As my mind was on the loading screen, the grand elder pointed to the ship and spoke.
“This is one of the sect’s flying treasures, Yin Xi.” He spoke with a small smile. It was obvious to him that we were awed by this ship.
When I heard the name I got out of my stupor and the corners of my mouth twitched. (A/N: Yin Xi here means hidden delight.)
‘Yin Xi? Really? Which part of it looks like a hidden delight? How the hell can you even hide it?’ I grumbled to myself about its creator’s naming sense.
