Chapter 19: Level 9 Masters Don’t Kneel to the Emperor Part Three

“She looked at me with disdain in the beginning. When she entered the faction, my master said those same words to her, and then she became the pride of my faction. More than ten years passed; I obtained no progress, yet she is at top-tier level 8 and only one step away from level 9, becoming a supreme master. She cultivated later than me, yet she is so far ahead. My master was right… I’m an ordinary person compared to her.”

“Did your master know about your ability in sensing others’ cultivation levels?” Fang Jie asked.

“No. I didn’t tell anyone in my faction about this.”

“So, your master was trash,” Fang Jie laughed, “Even if there are only a few level 8 masters in the world, there isn’t only Chen Qingshan, right? That crippled old man seems a lot more powerful. Also, there is Yun’s owner’s wife. However, only you can sense others’ cultivation levels. With such an insane ability, shouldn’t you be proud?”

“What ability is this? Sense danger and escape?” Mu Xiaoyao said self-mockingly, “To me, powerful strength is far more effective!”

Da Quan interrupted on the side and said, “I think this ability is great. I’m 20 years older than you and cultivated for 20 more years. I’m still weaker than you, right? Among those who cultivated alongside me, 70 percent of them died. I didn’t die since I have a good nose. I can smell murderous spirit, so I’m still alive.”

“You are 20 years older than her?” Fang Jie said in surprise, “I can’t tell!”

Da Quan blushed which was rare, and he replied, “I look young…”

Fang Jie said in disbelief, “I thought you are at least 40 years older than her.”

Da Quan fell speechless.

Seeing that Mu Xiaoyao smiled, Fang Jie quickly said, “Us three have been through many turbulences. Let’s not dwell on the negative thoughts. We are going to Chang’an! The Capital of Great Sui! Sister Xiaoyao, you are extremely beautiful. Once you go there, countless level 9 masters would kneel before your long dress and beg you to be their disciple!”

“BS!” The crippled old man somehow appeared before them and said, “Do you think level 9 masters are all cabbages which are seen everywhere? In Great Sui, there are only a handful of level 9 masters; they can be easily counted. Even the Emperor of Great Sui doesn’t dare to force level 9 masters to kneel!” The crippled old man rolled his eyes at Fang Jie before looking at Mu Xiaoyao and saying softly, “You should reconsider. I’m very strict in choosing disciples. Otherwise, how come I don’t have a single disciple at this age? You will regret this for the rest of your life if you miss the opportunity. I will ask you again; do you agree?”

Mu Xiaoyao looked at Fang Jie and said, “I go where he goes; I’m where he is at.”

“This strict? I will advise you again, and I can tell you that I’m one of the few level 9 masters in the world. Don’t think that there are many level 9 masters. Although the world is big, only a few cultivators can reach level 9. You don’t believe me since I appeared too easily? Do you want me to show you? I’m sure that I will surprise you!”

Mu Xiaoyao shook her head and said, “If you don’t accept him, I won’t follow you.”

The crippled old man asked in anger, “Do you know what you missed? Even the Emperor of Great Sui can’t force a level 9 master to kneel! Do you know how many level 9 masters there are?”

Mu Xiaoyao grabbed onto Fang Jie’s belt and walked away without turning back.

Bam! The crippled old man knelt and begged with a crying tone, “Please, I beg you. Please agree to be my disciple. I will kowtow, ok? It is so rare to find a young talent. Your stupid master couldn’t see your potential! Please stay… ok? You… if you walk away, I will harm myself!”
