Chapter 695: Eight Stars Of Heavenly Jade Flower (Part 8)

Regarding Amalia stealing his prey and interrupting his fun, Kenny Lin could only sheathe his sword and look at her helplessly, yet indulgently.

Amalia showed no expression, though she felt a slight chill; this drama king always had a way of getting on her nerves.

"Hurry up clean up the scene," Amalia said quietly, smoothing over her discomfort.

Kenny Lin didn’t move and asked nonchalantly, "Why go to all that trouble? Even if the devils discover it, they won’t know it was us. And even if they did, what could they do?"

"It’s better to avoid unnecessary trouble," Amalia replied.

It was a habit from her past life as a mercenary not to leave any traces that could expose her identity.

Even though things were different now, having a powerful background didn’t mean one could act recklessly.

The young master of the devil clan was a prime example.

"Alright, alright, I’ll listen to you," Kenny Lin resignedly raised his hands and then suddenly turned around to Ding Huiqing and the others, saying sternly, "What are you standing around for?"

Ding Huiqing helped Vincent Tan close her mouth, his face expressionless without saying anything.

He knew that Amalia and Kenny Lin’s abilities shouldn’t be underestimated, but he hadn’t expected that the opponents they had struggled with and nearly getting themselves killed, would be defeated by the two of them in less than two minutes.

This realization was a big shock to him.

Vincent Tan had already come to his senses.

Unlike Ding Huiqing, who overthought things, he immediately ran over to Amalia and Kenny Lin’s sides with glowing eyes and expressed his admiration.

"Junior Sisters Amalia, Junior Master Uncle, both of you are amazing!"

"Not bad," Amalia replied coolly.

Kenny Lin turned his head and said discontentedly, "Why are you calling her Junior Sister? Call her Grand Martial Aunt."

Vincent Tan’s mouth instantly fell open.

Ding Huiqing and the injured Senior Brothers Zhang and Cao couldn’t help but look over as well.

They knew that Kenny Lin was a disciple of Master Lian, so calling him Junior Master Uncle was understandable.

But why should they call Amalia Grand Martial Aunt? Wasn’t she just the sect leader’s disciple?

"Could it be that Junior Sister Aunt is also Master Lian’s disciple?" Vincent Tan felt like he had discovered a huge secret and asked him cautiously.

"Don’t listen to his nonsense; I’m not," Amalia explained.

Ding Huiqing immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

If Amalia were also a disciple of Master Lian, it would mean he had unknowingly challenged someone of a higher seniority than him last time.

"How am I talking nonsense? If even Junior Nephew Chang insists on calling you Martial Aunt, it’s only normal for these disciples to call you Grand Martial Aunt. If someone insists on acknowledging your seniority, why not accept it?" Kenny Lin said.

The atmosphere instantly became tense again.

Junior Nephew Chang... Could he be referring to their sect leader?

Everyone fell silent.

Even the usually arrogant Ding Huiqing didn’t say a word, leaving only Vincent Tan, with his innocent look, continuing to ask questions.

"Why does the sect leader call Grand Martial Aunt Amalia, Martial Aunt?"

Although he was still puzzled, Vincent Tan obediently addressed Amalia as Grand Martial Aunt, much to Kenny Lin’s satisfaction.

This kid was quite quick on the uptake.

"Of course, it’s because her seniority is higher than Junior Nephew Chang’s."

Vincent Tan counted on his fingers, then looked up with wide eyes, "Higher than the sect leader’s seniority? Does that mean Grand Martial Aunt Amalia’s master is on the same level as our Master Lian?"

Kenny Lin nodded his head with a smile, "Of course. Otherwise, why would you should call her Grand Martial Aunt?"

Vincent Tan’s mouth fell open in surprise.

Looking at Amalia, his eyes were filled with admiration and envy, "it’s no wonder that Grand Martial Aunt Amalia is so strong."

"Idiot, we should be calling her Martial Aunt," Ding Huiqing finally couldn’t hold back.

He had wanted to say this for a while but had held back until now.

If he hadn’t known that Vincent Tan had no concept of seniority, he might have suspected it was intentional to lower his status and curry favor.

Before Vincent Tan could react, Ding Huiqing saw Kenny Lin staring at him, making his eyelid twitch involuntarily.

He quickly explained, "Vincent Tan and I are of the same generation as Sect Leader Chang."

Amalia had indeed heard that there was a group of elders who are lived on the main peak’s back mountain.

The elders of the Green Lotus Sect were divided into two types: regular elders, who were generally of the same generation as the sect leader (with a few being the sect leader’s seniors), and Grand Elders, who held higher status than the sect leader.

These Grand Elders, there are ten in total, were both senior and more powerful in cultivation than the sect leader.

They lived long lives and had high cultivation levels.

As they typically didn’t involve themselves in worldly affairs, they usually secluded themselves in the back mountain of the main peak.

They generally didn’t show up unless the sect faced life-and-death situations or other major events, otherwise, they remained in seclusion, cultivating.

Vincent Tan and Ding Huiqing’s fathers were two of the ten Grand Elders, which makes them hold a higher status than the sect leader.

The sect leader would address the Grand Elders as Master Uncle, so Vincent Tan and Ding Huiqing were addressed as Junior Brothers.

However, their young age often made people forget this.

Vincent Tan, being naive and eager to fit in, often saw himself as being of the same generation as the disciples from the lower nine peaks and mimicking how they addressed each other.

Ding Huiqing, though typically arrogant, rarely used his status to oppress others.

People knew their identities and didn’t dare offend them, often going out of their way to curry favor instead.

"Then call her Martial Aunt," Kenny Lin didn’t press the issue, as long as they didn’t call her Junior Sister or Senior Sister.

Ding Huiqing was taken aback and reluctantly said, "We deserve an explanation."

Otherwise, having someone suddenly become their senior was a little bit hard to accept.
