9.5 – The luckiest child

News that Venerable Crimson Flame had accepted an disciple spread rapidly, and very soon the entire cultivation world knew that someone dared to be his disciple. And not only was it not someone that had forced their way in, it was someone he had found himself.

Most of them thought that this was very normal. After all, it was better to find an disciple by themselves than collect a bunch of people who had been stuffed in. Compared to the question of why he chose to accept an disciple now, they were more curious about exactly who Venerable Crimson Flame's disciple was.

It was very easy to guess. After all, Still Peak had only just gone through a lightning tribulation, and other than that person and Venerable Crimson Flame, there should be nobody else on that mountain peak. Other than his disciple, there should be nobody else that could make the Venerable act as their Dao protector.

The celebrations for his acceptance as a disciple were extraordinarily grand. All the major powers received invitations, and it could be regarded as a major event in the cultivation world. It was also the first time that Venerable Crimson Flame had done such a high-profile thing ever since he gained his title.

The organizer for this event was Sky Sword Sect, but Chi Clan also joined in. In these past few days, Xue Ling was introduced to the leaders of all the major forces in the cultivation world, and was basically recognized by all of them. He also received a lot of artifacts and weapons.

Almost everyone went through the same set of expressions after seeing him. First, they were dazed, then they were embarrassed because they were dazed, and then they would laugh awkwardly, and then hand over their first-meeting gift with an embarrassed expression on their faces. And when they gave their gifts, they were always very careful about making sure their gazes did not land on his face.

Xue Ling smiled the whole time. He met one person after another, but his smile did not turn stiff. Every time he smiled, the curve of his mouth was slightly different, and every time he received a gift, his smile became especially sincere.

Venerable Crimson Flame had very few friends in the world of cultivation, but he had many acquaintances. Whether it was because of his family's personal ties, or connections made through Sky Sword Sect, or even based off his own strength, they were all reasons for these people to show him respect.

Another reason, of course, was that they were really curious about what kind of disciple the Venerable had accepted.

Now that they had met him, they could all only use one objective. Everyone collectively agreed that the little disciple that the Venerable Crimson Flame had taken in was an evildoer.

He was the kind of evildoer who was particularly pleasing and delightful. When he smiled, nobody would be able to refuse his request.

Alas, how could such a lovely child be abducted by someone like Venerable Crimson Flame? If he had been theirs... how much respect would it bring them if they could bring him out to show off every day~

Because of this gathering, Xue Ling's name spread through the cultivation world. In fact, Chi Lan's intentions in holding this event was very clear – it was to let everyone know and recognize his disciple, and prevent those who could not see things clearly from hurting or making a move on his person.

His little disciple was really too good-looking. He was a little worried about whether or not he would be able to properly look after him.

When the young disciples of Sky Sword Sect learned that they now had a new member amongst them with great backing, they were quite worried that the other party would be a bully who would rely on his master's strength to cause trouble all over the world. Later on, they discovered that they had been wrong.

The Venerable Crimson Flame stayed on Still Peak all day long, and that person also did the same and never came down. They did not have a high enough status to attend when the celebrations to introduce him to the cultivation world were held, and had never seen him at all. When they went to ask their elder martial brothers and sisters, all of them were tight-lipped and refused to speak; making the little disciples even more curious about this new martial uncle of theirs.
