Chapter 24: Chapter 24 Chu Lan
Hearing all three Peak Head's rejecting her proposal,
Head Chu became disappointed, her brow furrowed then shook her head muttered, "Oh, it's a pity, It seems I have to fight for it,"
Hearing the other three Head instantly, became alert with sweat started condensing on their forehead and cheek.
The Inner door elders, who brought Lin Lee here, also other elders standing behind them, they didn't dare to breathe were sweating coldly.
'I hope they don't start fighting like children or this peak may not endure the devastation of the Holy Lord's.' Everyone prayed helplessly.
Head Chu glanced at other head calmly for a while, just as extreme tension was built, she spoke softly, "Well, let disciple decide himself."
'Phew,' All other Head peaks and Elders sighed with relief in their heart.
'As expected of Chu Lineage, all of them are monsters.' The Head Yan thought to himself.
On the other hand,
Lin Lee then registered his details again and stood beside the stand.
The next moment, he appeared in another place, startled, looking around then looked at four people staring at him.
His heart tightened, 'These two beautiful ladies are fine; they can stare at me. But what do these two guys want?' His expression become extremely alert.
"I am Ling Huo from Jade peak. I want to accept you as a disciple. I will teach you my exclusive exercise and also give you 100,000 points," Ling Huo, The female Head of Jade peak threw an offer right of the bat, looking at him charmingly.
Other Peak Head around flinched, then cursed her in their heart, started offering benefits letting him join their peak,
"I am Head Yan Hao from Medicine peak, I will accept you as my personal disciple and teach you my lifelong alchemy skill and experience. Also, you can practice my Immortal Pill Sutra."
"I am Head Li Yu from Illusionary peak, I will accept you as a personal disciple, you will get Immortal Mirage Art."
They even started to accept him as a disciple. Ling Huo was surprised then became regretful, why didn't she offered to accept him as a disciple first.
Head Chu glanced at other then spoke,
"I am Chu Lan Head of the leaf peak. If you become my personal disciple, I will teach you Immortal Art, also teach you everything about formation, and give you a Holy Weapon,"
The other three peak head were shocked, looking at the Chu Lan in daze. 'She is cheating, showing off her wealth, as expected of the Sect leader's sister,' All three of them became depressed. 'Why don't we have sect leader elder brother like her?' They thought to themselves, looking at Head Chu Lan resentfully.
After, Head Chu Lan offered then everyone started staring at Lin Lee with a calm and solemn expression on their face.
Lin Lee was surprised looking at beautiful Chu Lan. 'It seems she is sincere and extremely rich.'
He nodded secretly in his heart, glanced at other Head peaks, refused politely, "Thank you for interest in me, but I choose Master Chu Lan."
Then, looking at Chu Lan seriously saluted, "Master please accept me as a disciple."
Chu Lan was surprised looking at his serious face and slight bowing salute. The other three Peak Head were also surprised looking at him refusing politely.
"Disciple, you should kowtow in order to show respect to the Master. Haven't your parents taught you that?" Ling Huo female Head suddenly said suspiciously. They didn't care basically it's disciple right to select their Master.
Lin Lee was startled, glanced at her and the other peak Head's, also looking at Chu Lan calm expression, then realized the custom here is different; he don't know the ceremony.
Then, thinking of something he replied calmly, "My mother said, If you have sincerity in your heart, there's no need to bow or kowtow. If you don't have any sincerity in your heart, no amount of bowing and kowtowing will work."
The peak head's were surprised, looking at each other, then smiled helplessly, shook their heads.
"Ha ha ha, very good If you don't have have sincerity in your heart no amount of bowing or Kowtowing will work." Head Yan laughed and nodded constantly praised.
Head Li and Head Ling also nodded after hearing him,
Lin Lee became embarrassed, 'I just don't know the ceremony, well anyway.' turned his face away started looking around, scratching his cheek.
Chu Lan put her hand on her mouth turned her head, giggled a little, looking at Lin Lee embarrassed appearance.
Only she saw through him,
'This disciple is quite clumsy, but at least his heart is clear,' she thought and smiled a little happily. It is the actual truth, If a disciple is not sincere, no amount of bowing and kowtowing will make him respect her.
"Well, disciple let's go I will show you our leaf peak." She spoke softly looking at Lin Lee tenderly, Lin Lee nodded calmly.
Chu Lan then waved her hand, took Lin Lee and Luo Li along with her,
Instantly teleporting!
They appeared in another mountain peak an unimaginable distance away, after crossing a few other peaks.
Other Peak Head glanced around sighed with pity, then they also turned around and left.
Lin Lee glanced at the huge tree-shaped mountain. Its trunk reached all the way to the ground below, roots area spreaded and scattered in whole peak land, while its top stretched into the void in the sky. There were also buildings made from tree branches, with a few female and male disciples moving through them.
After landing on the mountain near the entrance of the peak, Chu Lan pointed at one of the buildings on the top of the peak. "Disciple, that is your residence. You are my fourth personal disciple, and you have three senior sisters. You will meet them later, Also, reach the top of the peak and meet me." she said softly, then disappeared, leaving Lin Lee and Luo Li in a daze.
Lin Lee nodded and bowed towards her back, then walked along the path towards the building with Luo Li.
Unbeknownst to him, Chu Lan appeared in the void, looking at him intriguingly with a kind smile. "This little disciple is quite interesting. He looks quite calm and composed despite his age, Let's see his bearing then I will decide to teach him according to that."
All the way reaching the top of the peak, after few hours walking Lin Lee was fine without sweat while Luo Li was exhausted, Lin Lee had to wait for her calmly while thinking, 'It's probably my second test, well I should show a little exhausted expression.'
He took a deep breath and sat down on the stone beside Luo Li.
Chu Lan in the void nodded with a smile,
Finally both Lin Lee and Luo Li reached their destination in front of the building pointed by Chu Lan,
They were surprised by its hanging structure. It was actually a branch hanging from the tree in the middle, and the whole building was made naturally. There were floating leaf steps leading to the entrance above.
"Young Master, this place is very beautiful," exclaimed Luo Li, looking at the water flowing through the building's side and falling into a pond-like waterfall, then flowing through the entire mountain below.
Lin Lee nodded, admiring the architecture of the building. He walked inside as the entrance made from leaves recessed back,
observing everything inside made from leaves and wood, with soft leaf coatings. "Amazing architecture, definitely designed by my Master," he thought to himself.
He let Luo Li settle in the lower floor room, then walked upstairs, stepping on leaf stairs leading to the second floor. The whole branch building had three floors only: the first for servants, the second for Lin Lee, and the third for training, alchemy, and other side practices. There was also an exclusive formation.
Looking at the heavy heaven and earth aura mist in the third-floor training hall, Lin Lee muttered in surprise, "It's definitely ten times more than outside on the mountain and more than a thousand times more concentrated than the outside world."
Suddenly he felt restlessness in his dantian, sensing his innate liquid in the dantian and spiritual liquid in his soul space slowly merging and turning into a pill shape.
Feeling the changes in his soul space, meridian and dantian, Lin Lee heart tightened,
'It seems i can't suppress it anymore. But if Master senses my breakthrough, I will fall into huge trouble. She looks kind but I don't know her fully yet, nor can I trust everyone. I can't pin my survival on other kindness.' Lin Lee recalled the kind expression of Chu Lan, hesitated then shook his head.
'No one can reach the Master Realm at twelve years of age. I can't guarantee she wouldn't capture me or torture me to get my body secrets, even if I don't know them," Lin Lee thought to himself deeply, then ordered his bead to conceal his figure as he was going to breakthrough,
He muttered thoughtfully, "I hope my bead can conceal it well, or it will be over."
