I Am The Young Master

Chapter 122 - My master should not know

Chapter 122: My master should not know

——(POV third person, on the edge of the eternal wail chasm)——

"…Luckily I was able to finish the fight." Li Huang explained the events to grandpa Long mostly in sound transmissions for privacy and speed as you could convey messages faster with this method.

"So that Jin Fen not only stole from the trial but he also wanted to kill you." Li Long couldn't be angrier. How could his own grandson be in danger from his own sect disciples? It was unrealistic to want to monitor everyone in the sect and hope to find what they are thinking about if you don't wish to make the sect into a cult and make the grand elders beat him for it, but Li Long was thinking that he should have paid more attention to this issue so that no such thing could happen in the future.

'If you can't trust your back to your fellow disciples, then who can you trust?' Li Long thought. He then remembered something else.

"…And that He Junli…" Li Long snorted coldly.

"Good, good, good. It seems that I have been too lenient these past years that the young generation has forgotten about me." Li Long cracked his knuckles. If it was his younger years he would have broken every bone in her body and made the sects go into a rough patch because of it.

Alas, now that he can see the bigger picture he knows that this would only make unnecessary tensions that wouldn't give you the result that you are looking for, much more when they are allied with the White Moon sect.

Li Huang wanted to say that the world might have forgotten about that but Li Huang himself was reminded of it each time that they train, but he stopped himself.

"You did well not killing her." Li Long said with a warm smile, unlike the subject that he was talking about. He patted Li Huang's shoulder a couple of times.

"When we can punish her by doing less why even bother doing more?" Li Huang said as he also smiled. It was one of his mottoes that 'do less unless there is a clear advantage in doing more'.

"I like how you think." Grandpa Long said and laughed but soon composed himself.

"Gather everyone and come after me, I have to relay these pieces of information to grand elder Wan." He said and started walking away with light steps as he was now sure that Li Huang was alright.

~'We have some things to talk about later, important things…'~ Li Huang sent a sound transmission to grandpa Long who already was at a distance.

Li Long paused for a moment and tried to think what could Li Huang want to talk about but ultimately just nodded and continued going toward grand elder Wan.

Although Li Long is the patriarch but a grand elder's position is only second to him and as they have seniority over him, it is only polite to counsel with them and that was exactly what Li Long was going to do.

Li Huang Looked around him and started looking for his fellow disciples. It was at that time that he heard a familiar voice.

"Young Master Li." The voice said and there was only one person who called him this way these past few days. It was Lang Yingmin, the 'outcast disciple' of the white moon sect that was on his team. She cupped her fists to him.

"Miss Lang, what can I do for you?" Li Huang said as he greeted her too. From what he saw from her in the trial, she was at least stronger than He Junli so it was really a mystery that she wasn't the leader and He Junli was.

'Well, thinking about the fact that He Junli had something of a cult in their sect, it is not that surprising…' Li Huang thought.

"I wanted to thank you for helping me with the weapon Qi training in the trial." She said and bowed a little.

"You are welcome, it was nothing special." Li Huang said as he really didn't help her selectively as she was the only option that could produce the weapon Qi. He helped her so that she can help him in gathering the materials, that simple.

Li Huang now remembered that she might get more isolated in the sect in the future as she is talking with him who choke He Junli so he added a few words.

"Miss Lang, I think you might be in a bit of problem in your sect if you are seen talking to me." Li Huang said and hinted at the disciples who were looking at them. She knew about what happened with He Junli but she didn't say anything in the trial so Li Huang left it at that but now he decided to tell her directly.

Lang Yingmin looked around and the disciples who were looking at them looked away, she then turned to face Li Huang again.

"Thank you for your concern but I will be fine." She said with a small smile.

Li Huang nodded as he didn't want to pry further. Soon after she excused herself to go and see her master and Li Huang went to gather his fellow disciples as his grandpa instructed him to.

——(POV third person, Li Long and grand elder Wan)——

"I see." Grand elder Wan nodded a couple of times. Li Long told him what happened in the trial in detail.

"Li Huang has done us a great favor with his quick decision making and resourcefulness, you have done well raising him, patriarch." Grand elder Wan added and smiled at Li Long. He was from the generation of Li Long's master so he naturally knew Li Long from a young age and the fact that a haughty person like Li Long has raised a level-headed person was a surprise to him, to say the least.

Well, let's just say that grand elder Wan didn't know Li Huang completely or his verdict might have been a little different.

"Haha, grand elder overpraises me." Li Long said as he was proud that Li Huang didn't do what he had in mind or else he didn't know if grand elder Wan would have the same reaction now.

"Putting the matter about Li Huang and how he helped everyone get out of there alive aside for now, we need to do something about white moon sect disciple…" Grand elder Wan said and Li Long nodded.

"Yes, although we are allied this is not something that we can let go of as she clearly put everyone in danger for herself." Li Long said as he couldn't believe that there would be such a spoiled person in one of the holy lands.

'If the disciple is this way, how is the master…' Li Long thought and now he could understand why his son didn't want anything to do with that girl.

"Grand elder Su Zhi is a reasonable and disciplined person, we can make sure that she would punish her if she were to know about this." Grand elder Wan said.

"Yes, other holy lands would also have something to say from what Huang told me." Li Long said and after talking about a few more small matters they got out of their tents to go toward the white moon sect's tent.

As they got out they saw Li Huang and others coming toward them.

""Disciple greets the patriarch, disciple greets grand elder."" Everyone said in unison as they saw them.

Li Long and grand elder Wan nodded to them.

"You all did exceptionally well this time." Li Long said and showed them an amiable smile. Everyone cupped their fists again in awe as some of them haven't seen the patriarch this close and this was a new achievement for them.

They went toward the white moon sects tent together and along the way, other holy lands also joined them as they too heard about this from their disciples and found it unacceptable. Zheng Jingyi was the disciple who even put his core disciple identity on the line as he was the one who led the two disciples that have died to the battlefield and if he can't make this right he might not be able to continue cultivation in this life as this could become his heart demon.

Li Huang talked to Zheng Jingyi after they left He Junli and told him his plans and because of that Zheng Jingyi kept calm at that time.

As the elders and some patriarchs were walking in front, the disciples walked slower to put a distance between them out of respect.

"Li Huang, I dare you to fight me!" Cai ZhenKang said with a haughty attitude.

Li Huang who didn't expect this raised an eyebrow as he looked at Cai ZhenKang.

"Did you hit your head somewhere? What is wrong with you?" Li Huang said as he thought that he must have had a concussion.

Cai ZhenKang got closer to Li Huang and got near to his ear.

"Hahaha, it's nothing. I'm keeping our friendship a secret from my master." Cai ZhenKang said like it was a brilliant plan.

Li Huang had a blank look on his face when he heard Cai ZhenKang's reasoning.
