Chapter 75 - Junior Sister
Chapter 75 - Junior Sister
Jian cleaned the cave and and went to the sect hall. He waited for Ye Qiao to bring Ling'er.
Ye Qiao and Ling'er walke in the sect hall. Jian looked at Ling'er, for first time he had seen such a delicate looking girl. He couldn't help but smile on seeing her.
When Ling'er saw Jian she hid behind Ye Qiao and continued to look at him as she was unfamiliar with him.
Jian smiled seeing her reaction.
" Thank you for saving Ling'er" Ye Qiao moved towards him. While Ling'er continued to hide behind her.
" You don't need to thank me. I would have helped her even if you didn't have requested". Jian shook his telling her to stop thanking him.
Ye Qiao nodded and continued to look at him. She was hesitating and Jian knew why. Jian looked at Ling'er " Ling'er come here"
Ling'er immediately hid behind Ye Qiao. Ye Qiao looked at her and nodded ' it is okay. Ling'er came out and started to walk towards Jian. She was walking slowly and she would stop and turn back to look at Ye Qiao.
Jian smiled seeing this. He looked at Ye Qiao and his smile disappeared " Go bring those three here I want to talk to her alone."
Ye Qiao hesitated when she heard Jian. But seeing the serious look on his face she knew what he was about to do. She looked at Ling'er and after hesitating for a while she left.
Ling'er saw Ye Qiao leaving she wanted to follow her but she was stopped by Jian. " I want to go with Sister Qiao. "
Jian smiled " She will be back after few minutes. Don't need to worry" Ling'er thought for a while and nodded.
Jian and Ling'er kept looking at each other. After few minutes Jian sighed " Ling'er do you know that you can't cultivate"
Ling'er nodded " yes, Sister Qiao told me. She was also injured when she tried to help me cultivate."
Jian nodded seeing that Ling'er knew about her condition. Ling'er didn't understand why he asked this. Jian saw that Ling'er was confused. " Ling'er do wish to become my Disciple"
Ling'er was baffled when she heard Jian asking to become his disciple " Senior you know that I can't cultivate. I will become burden if you accept me as your disciple."
Jian frowned here her reply. He couldn't understand why such a small girl knew about burden and everything. He couldn't help but feel pity for her.
" Do you wish to cultivate. You just have to answer me in yes or no" Jian looked straight into her eyes and asked.
Ling'er became little bit afraid. She saw that Jian was serious about her accepting as disciple. She was hesitating and while thinking her eyes had started to become moist. She looked at Jian " Yes."
Jian smiled when he heard herd her say yes. " Ling'er are you ready to accept me as you Master. "
Ling'er moved and Kowtowed three times and greeted him "Master. "
Jian smiled hearing her calling him master. He moved towards her and helped her stand up. He patted her " You don't need worry about cultivating. Your talent is greater as compared to your senior brothers and sister. "
While Jian was telling Ling'er to not worry. Ye Qiao had returned with Yu Yang, Yu Yue and Zhou You.
They moved towards Jian and greeted him " Master".
Jian nodded seeing them. He looked at Ling'er who hid behind Jian seeing others. " Go greet your seniors."
Ling'er looked at them and after hesitating he walked in front of Jian and greeted " Greetings Senior brothers and sister."
Others were confused so Jian explained. " She is my fourth disciple and your Junior sister."
Three of them became happy and surrounded Ling'er. They started to greet and ask questions. Yu Yang and Yu Yue knew her so she became closer to them.
" Go bring her to see the sect." Jian told them to take Ling'er and show her the sect.
They nodded and left the sect Hall. Jian shook his head and sat on the chair. Ye Qiao looked at Jian and kept hesitating. Jian knew she wanted to ask about Ling'er. " No need to hesitate you can ask."
Ye Qiao saw that Jian was able to see her hesitation. " Why did you accept Ling'er as your disciple? Did you found out why she couldn't cultivate?
" It doesn't concern you why did I accept her as my disciple. Although I found out why she couldn't cultivate. You will get know in future about it." Jian couldn't tell her know. The system had told not before Ling'er is able to cultivate.
Ye Qiao understood that for some reason he couldn't tell her. So she didn't ask more about it.
" Where did you find her?" Jian couldn't help but ask when he thought about how Yu Yue and Yu Yang found her.
Ye Qiao understood why he asked so she explained " As you know that the village that I was leaving in was destroyed and your disciples found me along with Ling'er.
She found me near her village, heavly injured. She took in the village where she lived with her grandfather. Her grandfather was the village chief so with his help I was able to heal little by little.
Our lives didn't have any problems. I helped her grandfather in breakthrough so he was able to gather more herbs. I and Ling'er continued to stay in village and play while her grandfather would go look for herbs.
One day her grandfather asked me to teach Ling'er. I didn't have any problem with it but when I checked I found that she can't cultivate. I couldn't leave it at that. I had to repay them for their help. But when I tried to use force to find out I was injured and my injuries increased.
That's when the village was attacked. Although I was not able to save her grandmother. I tried to save her and then I met with your disciples and hear I am."
Jian nodded hearing her story. He couldn't believe her luck that she was able to find someone who took care of her and didn't take advantage of her when she didn't have strength to protect herself.
He couldn't help but think that if Yu Yue and Yu Yang and not saved them what would have happened. Thinking about it makes him uncomfortable.
" I can only say that, you don't need to worry she will be able to cultivate and I can add that her talent is greater than that of my other disciples." Jian told her because she cared about Ling'er .
Ye Qiao nodded and left the sect Hall.. Jian sighed and slumped down on the chair.
