Does anyone actually Believes That My Master Is A Mortal?-Chapter 769 - 795 Letting the Second-in-Command

Chapter 769: Chapter 795: Letting the Second-in-Command Act as Sect Leader【Fifth Update】 Chapter 769: Chapter 795: Letting the Second-in-Command Act as Sect Leader【Fifth Update】 Within the Ancestral Master Hall of the Wayless Sect.

Upon receiving his Respected Master’s instructions, Ye Luo dared not delay and quickly rushed over.

When he entered the hall and saw his own Respected Master, without asking what the matter was, the first thing he did was perform a grand salute.

“Disciple Ye Luo pays respects to the Respected Master,”

Ye Luo said respectfully.

Here, he had none of the dignity of an Acting Sect Leader.

What he had was only the respect a disciple shows to their own Respected Master.

“No need for such formalities, Luo Er, please take a seat,”

Chu Yuan spoke in a gentle voice.

...

His palm moved slightly.

A streak of Divine Light floated out and landed not far from him, forming a cushion.

“Respected Master, I should remain standing here, how dare I sit down?”

Ye Luo hesitated for a moment but still refused.

“If I tell you to sit, you sit, what’s there to hesitate about?”

Chu Yuan glared at Ye Luo.

He waved his hand directly.

The power of Divine Light moved Ye Luo onto the cushion.

For Ye Luo, it was a mere flash before his eyes, and the next moment, he was seated on the cushion.

The gap between the two was enormous.

In front of Chu Yuan, Ye Luo was like a tender child.

“Thank you, Respected Master, for granting me a seat,”

Ye Luo quickly spoke.

“Luo Er, I’ve told you countless times, no need for such formalities, why can’t you remember that?”

Chu Yuan looked at his Eldest Disciple rather speechlessly.

“Respected Master, the rules and etiquette due to you are necessary and must not be disregarded,”

Ye Luo remained unyielding in his stance.

Chu Yuan felt helpless.

Looking at his Eldest Disciple,

he couldn’t say much more.

After all, it was out of respect for him that his Eldest Disciple would say and do such things.

“Alright, try not to be so formal in the future. Between you and me, although we are master and disciple, our relationship is like that of father and son. Why should we care so much about formalities?”

Chu Yuan shook his head with a sense of helplessness.

As soon as these words were spoken,

Ye Luo, seated on the cushion, slightly trembled.

The phrase ‘like father and son’ spoken by Chu Yuan had instantly breached his defenses.

Indeed.

His own Respected Master had taken him as a disciple when he was insignificant, and had always taken care of him in various ways.

He had reached his current state today

mostly thanks to his Respected Master’s credit.

All along, his main aim had been to repay his Respected Master.

But upon hearing these words today, he suddenly became clear.

His own Respected Master, who had never thought of him as just a disciple, had always treated him like his own child.

Ye Luo’s eyes immediately reddened.

“Respected Master’s great kindness and virtue, I, the disciple, will never dare to forget,”

Ye Luo stood up from the cushion and repeatedly kowtowed to Chu Yuan.

“There’s no need for this, stand up quickly, I still have something to ask you,”

Chu Yuan shook his head repeatedly, helped Ye Luo up with Divine Light, and let him sit securely on the cushion.

“Please ask, Respected Master, your disciple will hold nothing back and will answer to the best of his knowledge!”

Ye Luo bowed his head and replied.

“How long do you think you will need to reach the Quasi-Saint realm from your current cultivation level?”

Chu Yuan stroked his chin and asked softly.

Before telling Ye Luo he intended to support his advancement to Saint, he needed to ask clearly first.

“Reporting to the Respected Master, the distance to Quasi-Saint… it should still be a ways off. If calculated, my Dao Fruit is already at the peak of the Daluo Golden Immortal, but my realm is still in its middle stages. There is some distance to the later stages,”

Ye Luo replied.

Ye Luo felt somewhat ashamed.

In his view, Chu Yuan asking about his realm was a sign that he thought Ye Luo’s cultivation speed was too slow.

“It is a bit slow,”

Chu Yuan said lightly while stroking his chin.

When he said slow, he meant that Ye Luo still needed time before he could become a Saint, so it was indeed a bit slow.

After all, before becoming a Saint, one needed to first reach the status of Quasi-Saint.

There was a major realm in between.

And to become a Saint was a troublesome matter as well.

He looked up at Ye Luo, about to say something.

But when he looked at Ye Luo, he was taken aback for a moment.

Ye Luo had almost lowered his head to the ground, seemingly very ashamed.

Chu Yuan immediately realized that the problem lay in what he had said.

“Luo Er, what are you doing? Stand up at once. What your master said did not mean that your cultivation was too slow.”

“Your master plans to support you to become a Saint, but you still need to become a Quasi-Saint first. That’s why I said it was slow,”

Chu Yuan said helplessly.

My Eldest Disciple is just too filial.

“Ah? Support me to become a Saint?”

Ye Luo was stunned.

“Correct, to support you to become a Saint. Our Wayless Sect needs a new Saint, and among the disciples, you are the strongest, so your master plans to support you in becoming a Saint,”

Chu Yuan nodded, expressing his thoughts.

“But, but Respected Master, as your disciple, I still have a long way to go before I reach the status of Saint,”

Ye Luo said, bewildered for a moment.

How could he not be aware of his own situation?

As a Daluo Golden Immortal, he was capable of confronting Semi-Saints within the Immortal Realm. Ordinary Semi-Saints coming against him stood no chance at all.

But to leap to the level of Quasi-Saint, that path was still much too long.

Let alone after Quasi-Saint, the supremely exalted status of Saint.

He had once seen his future self, as a Saint, in the River of Time.

The supremely exalted aura from back then, his current self couldn’t possibly compare to it.

“That’s why your master plans to have you set aside your position as Acting Sect Leader and cultivate by my side so that you can become a Saint at the fastest speed,”

Chu Yuan spoke thus.

“Set aside the position of Acting Sect Leader? But Respected Master, if no one manages the sect for a long time, it will become chaotic. I indeed wish to cultivate by your side, but the Wayless Sect cannot be allowed to become disorderly,”

“Hmm… indeed, so who do you think would be suitable to take over the role of Acting Sect Leader?”

“Your disciple recommends our Second Disciple, Zhang Han, for the position.”

“The second one???”

Chu Yuan was momentarily startled.

He had not expected Ye Luo to propose Zhang Han as the Acting Sect Leader.

“Yes, Respected Master. The talent of the Second Disciple, though the least extraordinary within our sect, is considered a prodigy in the outer world. More importantly, the Second Disciple possesses the capability to manage,”

Ye Luo said earnestly.

No one in the entire sect understood Zhang Han better than him.

Zhang Han might not be great in a fight, but when it comes to managerial skills, he was actually not far behind Ye Luo.

Don’t forget, Zhang Han had been well-read from a young age, his literary grace not weak, and he inherently had managerial skills.

It was just that his radiance had always been overshadowed by his fellow disciples.

“The second one… Hmm, alright, since Luo Er you say so, then that’s decided. Let Han’er inherit the position of Acting Sect Leader and manage the sect, while you come by your master’s side to cultivate,”

Chu Yuan pondered for a moment.

Eventually, he agreed to it.

With Ye Luo’s recommendation, he could accept it.

But he always felt that this second one was somewhat unreliable—always undermining him was one thing, but recently he had even regressed in his Cultivation Levels.

But now with Ye Luo’s word,

He was willing to give the second one this opportunity.

“Yes, Respected Master,”

Ye Luo immediately bowed in respect.

Chu Yuan said nothing more, just nodded, and then discussed with Ye Luo some issues regarding the Quasi-Saint realm before sending Ye Luo off to make the necessary arrangements outside…
