Chapter 499: Chapter 489: Old Friends, Old Friends, The Growth of Two Naive Sweethearts

Upon hearing this, Jin Yao’s beautiful eyes widened, and she burst into a peal of laughter, doubling over in merriment.

"I never expected, big brother, that you would encounter such a dilemma."

When he learned that his elder brother, the Grand Alliance Leader, thick-skinnedly went to recruit a disciple and was gracefully refused, he couldn’t help but find it amusing as well.

If this were to spread, wouldn’t the entire alliance be rocked to its core?

The high-ranking Grand Alliance Leader being politely declined by a young person in the alliance was already a sensational tale just hearing about it.

What would those young people who dream of joining the foremost Daoist Sect and becoming a disciple under the big brother’s wing think?

They might just go buy a piece of tofu and bash their own heads in.

.....

"This young man named Su Ming is really quite unique."

"Although he has performed excellently and achieved many military accomplishments, surely that’s not enough for you to value him so highly, big brother?"

"There are plenty of young talents in the alliance better than him, so why persist with this eccentric and clueless young man?"

Jin Yao advised Wu Zhong not to lose sight of the more outstanding talents in the alliance for the sake of one person.

"Dong’Er strongly recommended him to me."

"Told me I must take him as a disciple."

"Even said his potential ranks him in the top five among all the geniuses in the alliance."

After hearing this, Jin Yao’s beautiful eyes momentarily froze, lighting up with a spark of surprise.

She might not trust her big brother’s judgment, but she definitely trusts Dong’Er’s vision; if even Dong’Er says so, then it’s truly a rare find!

In a place like the alliance, where geniuses are as common as dogs and monsters roam the lands, being in the top five carries incredible prestige!

After a moment of contemplation, Jin Yao proposed a plan: "Big brother, why not reveal your identity directly? I don’t believe he can resist the allure of becoming a disciple of the foremost Daoist Sect."

Upon hearing this, Wu Zhong shook his head: "He’s very smart and should roughly guess that I hold a high position within the alliance. Even if I reveal my identity, he will still refuse."

"However, I noticed something rather curious."

Wu Zhong then told Jin Yao about Su Ming’s origin from the "Dark Inference Demon Realm" and his secret support for it.

After hearing this, Jin Yao raised her willow-like eyebrows, murmuring repeatedly: "Dark Inference Demon Realm... Dark Inference Demon Realm..."

Suddenly, she thought of something. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

"I remember now."

"The two apprentices I recently took in also come from the Dark Inference Demon Realm!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Zhong was stunned.

For the small Dark Inference Demon Realm to produce just Su Ming was already considered an extraordinary stroke of luck.

And they have produced two more??

He was well aware that Jin Yao held a very high standard for accepting disciples, even higher than his in some respects.

It might also be because she has incredible luck, often randomly accepting disciples with extraordinary talents, which can’t be compared.

Such a small Dark Inference Demon Realm produced three talents??

This intrigued Wu Zhong greatly.

"Where are your two new disciples?"

Wu Zhong inquired.

"I’ve arranged for them a cave dwelling where they reside together."

"How about I bring them to meet big brother?"

Wu Zhong understood what Wu Zhong was getting at; big brother probably wanted to use this as a breakthrough point to investigate why Su Ming wanted to support the Dark Inference Demon Realm.

After all, they all ascended from the same place; they might know each other.

"Okay."

Wu Zhong nodded.

"Big brother, please wait a moment."

With that, Jin Yao left the place.

......

Meanwhile, on the Immortal Mountain surrounded by ethereal charm, a green-tiled palace stood upright.

In the courtyard, a woman dressed in a light white immortal dress stood, with a wave of her jade hand, a Moon Shadow Tree flew out from her sleeve.

She planted this Moon Shadow Tree in the soil of the courtyard, and as it was planted, it emitted faint glimmers, adding an air of coldness to the entire green-tiled palace.

After finishing everything, the woman in immortal dress stood up and gently called into the palace: "Master, it’s planted."

In the next moment.

An Immortal Shadow walked out gracefully from the palace, with hair tied high, eyebrows and eyes like the moon, with cold skin, her face was unparalleled.

The woman in the green dress came out and frowned at the woman in the immortal dress saying, "I’ve told you many times, we can’t call each other master and disciple anymore."

Upon hearing this, the woman in the immortal dress lowered her voice and said in a small aggrieved voice, "But, I only call you that in private."

"It’s just a habit."

...

"Now that we have joined the Heaven Shepherd Alliance, and we’ve both apprenticed under the same master."

"Whether in private or in public, from now on, I am your Senior Sister, not your Master, understand?"

The woman in the green dress scolded the woman in the immortal dress.

They stood in front of the Moon Shadow Tree, like two unparalleled scenic beauties, causing the peerlessly beautiful and dreamy Moon Shadow Tree to appear dull and lackluster.

The two women were stunningly beautiful, with graceful and tall figures, exuding different auras, one like the cold moon, the other gentle and serene as if inside a mirror reflecting the moon over water. Upon closer inspection, you’d find that the two women share a slight resemblance in terms of aura.

"I understand."

The woman in the immortal dress nodded slightly, speaking softly.

...

"Master... Ye... Senior Sister Ye, what kind of position do you think the master holds in the alliance?"

"To even arrange a mountain on the precious land of the Divine Domain for us, with no others around for fifty miles, it’s very quiet."

Bai Yuechan called her "Senior Sister" with some familiarity issues.

Both of them had joined the Heaven Shepherd Alliance fifty thousand years ago; however, they had always been in the Immortal Domain before. This was their first time in the Divine Domain, all thanks to having a great master, leading them into the legendary Celestial Shepherd Divine Realm.

In truth, they didn’t know much about this master, so upon seeing the master arranging such a cultivation cave dwelling for them, they were extremely curious about her status.

"I don’t know."

"But it’s not important; we are exceedingly fortunate to be under the master’s tutelage."

"What’s important is that we are one step closer to the Ancestor..."

Ye Qingran gazed into the void, her beautiful eyes glittering with a faint light.

......

The next moment, a gust of wind swept through the Moon Shadow Tree, and an Immortal Shadow appeared in the courtyard out of nowhere.

Upon seeing the newcomer, Bai Yuechan and Ye Qingran slightly bowed and greeted, "Master."

Seeing this, Jin Yao nodded and smiled while asking: "How is it, are you settling in well?"

"Settling in well, thank you for your concern, Master," Ye Qingran replied.

...

"If you two aren’t comfortable living together, I can arrange separate places for you."

"No need, Master, it’s perfect for the two of us to live together, and we can look after each other."

....

"That’s good."

"Come with me, I want to introduce you to someone."

With that said, Jin Yao transformed into a streak of light and vanished.

Bai Yuechan and Ye Qingran exchanged a glance and quickly followed.
