Chapter 53: Chapter 51: Half of the Military Merit Medals Belong to You, and the Other Half to Him

Shi Nian cleared his throat before speaking, "Master, I just want to ask you a question."

"Ask!" Ling Tian Sword Master furrowed his brows.

Shi Nian blinked and said, "Within our Divine Martial Sect, there are altogether five Venerables besides Master. Apart from you, there are Bai Hua Immortal Venerable, Fire Flame Venerable, Qing Guang Venerable, and Chaofang Immortal Venerable. Just now on the stage, when the Sect Leader suddenly struck at senior sister, I don’t believe the other Immortal Venerables were not secretly observing from the void. However, even when it was clear that the Sect Leader was in the wrong, none of them stepped out to speak up for us."

The brows of Ling Tian Sword Master slightly twitched, he coughed lightly, "These people are all Zhang Dog Egg’s lapdogs, they are unreliable."

Shi Nian sighed, "Also, I’ve been in the sect for over a decade now, and in these years, aside from ordinary disciples who are still somewhat respectful to us, the direct disciples of the Venerables seem to dread us. Why is that?"

"...They know I don’t get along with the Sect Leader, so they avoid our branch. They’re too blinded by their own interests," Ling Tian Sword Master said with an angry look on his face.

Shi Nian looked at him with an indescribable expression.

Ling Tian Sword Master struggled to maintain a composed facade.

Shi Nian bluntly asked, "Master... what on earth did you do to offend everyone?"

"What could I possibly have done!" Ling Tian Sword Master snorted coldly: "It’s all because those people are petty."

"I know, I know," Lu Zhuoyan chimed in enthusiastically, "Shi Nian, you ask me."

"Disciple!" Ling Tian Sword Master gritted his teeth, "Remember, you have more skeletons in your closet than I do."

Lu Zhuoyan grinned cheekily, "But I have thicker skin, I don’t care."

Ling Tian Sword Master: "..."

He found himself momentarily unable to retort.

Meanwhile, Lu Zhuoyan had already started speaking with great zest.

"Qing Guang Venerable’s situation is rather simple; he’s always been the Sect Leader’s lackey. When elder brother was competing for the position with the Sect Leader, Qing Guang Venerable was an ardent supporter of the Sect Leader. Because of this, elder brother has beaten him up not a few times. It’s normal for him to hold a grudge against elder brother," Lu Zhuoyan explained.

Ling Tian Sword Master scoffed coldly, "If I see him now, I’ll beat him up again!"

Shi Nian quickly asked, "What about Bai Hua Immortal Venerable? For what reason did Master become enemies with her?"

Ling Tian Sword Master was filled with complaints when this topic came up, "I have never wronged that woman, heaven knows what has gotten into her over these years."

No one paid him any attention, everyone’s eyes were unanimously fixed on Lu Zhuoyan, waiting for his explosive revelations.

Lu Zhuoyan coughed lightly.

Shi Nian hurriedly passed him a cup of water.

Lu Zhuoyan sipped a little and then dramatically slapped the wooden table, "Let’s pick up where we left off! As for the despicable Qing Guang, his resentment towards Ling Tian Sword Master is quite normal. But why would Bai Hua Immortal Venerable, not only beautiful but also of a gentle nature, have such grievances? It was one evening, 500 years ago. The dying sun hung low, the sunlight was gentle, and a shy girl mustered up the courage to deliver a love letter, to the hands of Ling Tian Sword Master."

"I remember now!" Ling Tian Sword Master slapped his thigh, "That woman, God knows why, she suddenly sent me a letter, asking me to meet her in the grove at twilight!"

"Oooo!" Both Shi Nian and Lin Tiantian howled like wolves.

"What are you howling about?" Ling Tian Sword Master looked at them, puzzled.

"So what happened next?" Shi Nian urged on.

Lu Zhuoyan sighed, "That night, the moonlight was tender, the flowers were tender, the birds were tender, and the people were tender. That girl waited earnestly for the man of her heart. And then... our Sword Master arrived."

"Wow!" Another round of wolf howls.

"Little Uncle-Master, don’t stop here, keep going," Shi Nian continued to prod.

Lu Zhuoyan sighed again, "The Sword Master didn’t come alone; he brought along nearly half of the sect’s members with him."

Everyone: "???"

Shi Nian looked at Ling Tian Sword Master in disbelief, "Master, have you lost your mind?"

Ling Tian Sword Master was completely baffled: "What the heck is there to go crazy about! That woman challenged me to a duel, and I accepted! But if there are no witnesses and I win, what if she refuses to acknowledge it? Of course, I should bring some eyewitnesses along."

"So, Bai Hua Immortal Venerable was forced to fight a battle with her senior brother. In the end, she left in tears," Lu Zhuoyan said.

Everyone fell silent.

"You tell me, isn’t that woman nonsensical? Just because she lost the fight, she suddenly started ignoring me. Is that reasonable?" Ling Tian Sword Master complained.

Everyone remained silent.

After a long while.

Shi Nian said: "Alright, I understand why Bai Hua Immortal Venerable holds a grudge against Master!"

"We understand now, too." The others nodded in agreement repeatedly.

"What exactly do you all understand?" Ling Tian Sword Master was looking utterly bewildered.

Nobody wanted to deal with him anymore but just silently shed a tear of sympathy for Bai Hua Immortal Venerable.

"Now that everyone understands about Bai Hua Immortal Venerable, let’s talk about Chaofang Immortal Venerable, who was Bai Hua’s good friend, so naturally, she also distanced herself from senior brother. Lastly, there’s Fire Flame Venerable. Fire Flame Venerable originally had a good relationship with senior brother. He had a Flame Chicken that he treasured dearly, almost to the point of wanting to sleep with it at night. But this chicken was a bit odd; it liked to ponder philosophical questions. Three hundred years ago, Master went to see Fire Flame Venerable and saw the Flame Chicken. Suddenly he asked it: In this world, which came first, the chicken or the egg?

It’s been three hundred years. The Flame Chicken still hasn’t gotten over this question, and its cultivation hasn’t advanced an inch. Our poor senior brother thus lost his last friend."

All together, everyone sighed deeply.

"I just casually asked a question. Who knew that chicken would be so obsessed with it." Ling Tian Sword Master looked innocent as he turned to the baldy and Xiaohuang: "Your chickens wouldn’t get hung up over such a question, right?"

"Chirp chirp chirp chirp." (What’s there to be confused about? Obviously, the chicken came first. Without the chicken, how can there be eggs?) Baldy chirped confidently.

"Chirp chirp chirp chirp." (No, it’s the egg that came first. If there were no egg, where would the chicken have hatched from?) Xiaohuang thought differently.

Then, the two chickens began to chirp frantically at each other.

Finally.

Shi Nian and Lu Zhuoyan could only chase them outside to argue.

Everyone uniformly turned their gazes toward Ling Tian Sword Master.

Shi Nian had an expression full of sighs.

Sixteen years, ah.

A whole sixteen years.

She actually hadn’t realized.

Her Master, who appeared reliable and aloof, was such a troublemaker.

This time in Myriad Magic Forbidden Land, she realized that their seemingly fragile little uncle was actually a calamity bringer.

Now, she found out that her Master was also a master of causing trouble.

As a person who prefers to keep a low profile, why did she have to deal with such elders!

"It’s as simple as that," Lu Zhuoyan said with a shrug: "Our whole lineage, within Divine Martial Sect, is practically a target for everyone to criticize."

"Is this all my fault alone?" Ling Tian Sword Master was indignant: "Don’t tell me you don’t have any contributions?"

"Compared to senior brother, I still have a long way to go."

"Nonsense."

The two looked like they were about to start arguing.

Shi Nian sighed and stopped them: "Stop arguing, both of you. This merit badge is half yours and half his. You two are each capable of holding up half the sky!"
