The Favored Little Peasant Seizes the Heroine's Script!-Chapter 560 - 487: Choice

Upon hearing his master’s words, Chu Qiubai was left dumbfounded on the spot.

He thought he was going to have another junior sister, but unexpectedly, the junior sister was directly promoted to be a martial aunt.

"Master, this... isn’t appropriate, is it?"

Chu Qiubai was stunned for a while and cautiously expressed his disagreement.

"Master, you are now the Supreme Elder of the sect, living in seclusion in the Forbidden Secret Realm. If you take in a disciple on behalf of the master, does that mean the junior martial aunt will also have to seclude herself in the Forbidden Secret Realm with you?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Upon hearing Chu Qiubai’s words, Master Wuwei directly slapped Chu Qiubai on the forehead, "Why would your junior martial aunt, being so young, need to live in seclusion?"

"What? Are you worried that having another junior martial aunt above you will affect your prestige as the Sect Leader?"

"Master, you know that’s not what I mean!"

Chu Qiubai felt utterly wronged. "I just feel that with you taking in a disciple on behalf of the master, the junior martial aunt’s seniority is too high, and ninety-nine percent of the martial artists in the world might end up dissatisfied with our Shangqing Sect."

"If anyone is dissatisfied, let them come to this old man, and I’ll teach them the rules of respect and hierarchy!"

Master Wuwei was quite domineering.

Yuan Bao stood exceptionally obediently to the side, saying nothing.

For her, whether it was to be Master Wuwei’s junior sister or disciple, it didn’t really matter. Of course, if she could become Master Wuwei’s junior sister, that would certainly be the best.

The higher the seniority, the more the Shangqing Sect valued her.

In that case, it would be even easier for her to bring Ying Li and Tuoba Bodhisattva out from the Abandoned Land.

Of course, while bringing the two out, Yuan Bao also planned to bring out everyone she cared about from that Abandoned Land.

In the Abandoned Land, where nature’s spiritual energy is scarce, not only is the path of martial arts cut off, but people’s lifespans are also shortened.

Yet in a world full of spiritual energy, even the lifespan of ordinary people can be greatly extended.

Chu Qiubai couldn’t argue with his master, so he had to honestly accept the fact that he had another junior martial aunt.

"You have one day to arrange the initiation ceremony!"

"Alright, quickly go handle the affairs!"

Seeing his disciple resign to fate, Master Wuwei joyfully sent him off.

Then, he narrated the entire cultivation technique of the Shangqing Sect to Yuan Bao from start to finish.

"Junior sister, if you have any doubts during your cultivation, you can always come to me!"

"Of course, if you encounter any trouble in day-to-day life, you can also come to this old man!"

Daoist Wuwei was indeed in an inexplicable joy.

With Yuan Bao as the junior sister, the Shangqing Sect could absolutely become the foremost sect in the world!

Though he wasn’t particularly concerned about this empty title, having it was better than not, right?

"Elder brother, the junior sister really does have something to trouble you with!"

"Junior sister, you don’t need to be polite with your senior brother!"

"Elder brother, it’s like this, when the junior sister was in the Abandoned Land, she first became the disciple of Ying Li of the Xuanxin Sect... that’s pretty much the story. The junior sister promised them to bring them out of the Abandoned Land."

"A trifling matter, leave it to your senior brother!"

Having listened to Yuan Bao’s account, Master Wuwei immediately patted his chest in assurance.

"Junior sister, you now focus on cultivating in the sect, while I go and sort this out for you!"

It’s just about bringing three people out of the Abandoned Land, right?

If Master Wuwei couldn’t even handle such a small matter, it would be such a shame!

Master Wuwei walked away swiftly, while Yuan Bao hurried out of the Forbidden Secret Realm to find Elder Qianye, as she had to share the good news with her family.

When Yuan Bao found Elder Qianye, she saw his face full of frustration.

"Qianye greets Junior Martial Aunt!"

How could Elder Qianye not be frustrated?

Originally, he thought Yuan Bao might at most become his junior sister, but Master Wuwei surprisingly took in a disciple on behalf of the master.

"Elder Qianye, please dispense with the formalities!"

"Junior Martial Aunt, sect rules dictate decorum cannot be discarded!"

Seniority is seniority and cannot be confused.

Even though Yuan Bao’s cultivation wasn’t on par with Elder Qianye, he was well aware that it wouldn’t be long before Yuan Bao surpassed him.

Therefore, these rules, this seniority, must be strictly adhered to!

Seeing this, Yuan Bao said no more.

Soon afterward, led by Elder Qianye, Yuan Bao found Wei Wushang and his companions.

The external steward of the Shangqing Sect had settled Wei Wushang and the others in a house situated in the area for external disciples of the Shangqing Sect. Just as he was preparing to inquire about the origins of Wei Wushang and others to understand how to approach them, Elder Qianye brought Yuan Bao over.

At that moment, this steward almost knelt to the ground.

Because he heard Elder Qianye address Yuan Bao as "Junior Martial Aunt."

After all, Elder Qianye was of the same seniority as Sect Leader Chu Qiubai, meaning this young girl unexpectedly shared a seniority with the former Sect Master of Shangqing Sect, the current Supreme Elder Master Wuwei.

In this light, he, as an external steward, needed to address Yuan Bao as "Grandmaster Martial Aunt."

"Junior Martial Aunt, according to sect rules, you can have your family reside in the Divine Concealment Peak, or you can select a mountain to live in seclusion!"

"Well, is there any insight into this?"

"I ought to first understand the situation of the sect, right?"

Yuan Bao did not immediately make a decision.

After all, she didn’t yet understand Shangqing Sect.

What kind of place is Divine Concealment Peak?

Choosing a peak to reside alone, what are the rules?

"Junior Martial Aunt, if you reside in Divine Concealment Peak, it indicates you are the Supreme Elder of the sect, usually uninvolved in affairs unless the sect faces life or death crises, generally requiring little intervention on your part!"

"If you select a mountain, you become the master of a peak, capable of recruiting disciples, and you can choose whether or not to engage in sect affairs!"

Elder Qianye straightforwardly explained to Yuan Bao the differences between these two choices.

"Well, I’ll choose the second option then!"

Yuan Bao thought it over briefly and made her decision.

At her age, to be the Supreme Elder of the sect? It’s simply ridiculous.

Everyone knows that reading ten thousand books cannot compare to traveling ten thousand miles.

In this world, martial arts prevail.

She currently possesses the strength of the third realm of cultivation, and soon enough, she will advance to the fourth realm.

Yet this only means her cultivation is strong, not necessarily her combat capability.

True masters are honed through repeated battles.

"In that case, please accompany me to the sect’s Internal Affairs Hall to select a mountain!"

"Alright!"

What could Yuan Bao say?

Thus, a large group of people proceeded vigorously from the external disciples’ area directly to Sun and Moon Peak, where the Shangqing Sect’s Internal Affairs Hall was located.

"Elder Qianye, can you tell me about the considerations involved in selecting a mountain peak?"

Walking beside Elder Qianye, Yuan Bao earnestly inquired.

"To respond, Junior Martial Aunt, our Shangqing Sect possesses a total of 1808 peaks. At its peak, 108 peaks each had their unique legacy!"

"However, during the celestial upheavals a millennium ago, over half of the peaks in our Shangqing Sect lost their legacies. These peaks are now vacant and available for your selection!"
