Chapter 13 Junior Sister

As they spoke, the group accelerated their descent, and Wuqiu led them to a platform halfway up the mountain.

"This is where Master Shuiyue usually lives." After landing, Wuqiu pointed to the hall not far away. "Let's go, Master should be waiting for us." Then, Wuqiu led Ye Feng and the others into the hall.

Ye Feng followed the crowd into the hall. Before entering, he looked up and saw the plaque hanging on the hall's main gate. Although it was just an ordinary plaque, the three characters "Shui Xuan Gong" (Water Profound Palace) shone faintly.

Upon entering the gate, many disciples showed surprise on their faces. The hall, which appeared to be ordinary on the outside, was surprisingly exquisite and magnificent inside.

Seeing this, Wuqiu smiled, realizing that the surprise on these people's faces was just like his own back then.

At the far end of the hall hung a huge painting. The figure in the painting was dressed in white, holding a long sword, with an elegant demeanor and extraordinary bearing, giving people a sense of awe. At this moment, a person was standing next to this painting, facing Ye Feng and the others.

"Greetings, Master." Wuqiu said respectfully, facing the man. Upon hearing this, Ye Feng and the others understood that this person was undoubtedly Elder Shui Xuan, their future master.

"You've brought everyone, haven't you?" Shui Xuan turned around to face everyone. After seeing his appearance clearly, it turned out that the elegant young man in the painting was Shui Xuan. However, compared to the painting, he was less youthful and impetuous and more calm and composed.

"Master, all five disciples are here." Wu Qiu pointed to Ye Feng and the other four behind him and introduced them one by one.

"Yes, I am Shui Xuan. After paying respects to your master today, you will be my disciples from now on. Just like Wu Qiu, call me Master," Elder Shui Xuan said solemnly.

"Yes, greetings, Master," Ye Feng and the other four said in unison.

"Alright, now you are all disciples of my Shui Xuan sect." Elder Shui Xuan approached Ye Feng and the others, his expression serious. "Under my Shui Xuan sect, there are certain rules that must be strictly observed. Remember, violating them will be severely punished. As for the specifics, I will have Wu Qiu relay them. You should all behave yourselves well."

"Yes, Master," the five disciples replied in unison once again.

"I will have Wu Qiu guide you to choose the specific cultivation method you will practice. Wu Qiu will also give each of you some suggestions. Of course, the specific cultivation method you choose is up to you," Shui Xuan said calmly. "As for any parts of your cultivation that you don't understand or comprehend, you can ask Wu Qiu or your other senior brothers. If they don't know either, you can ask me. I will answer your questions when I have time."

Hearing that their newly appointed master wouldn't personally guide their cultivation, everyone couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Of course, Ye Feng didn't feel this way; he was actually hoping no one would bother him.

Shui Xuan naturally noticed the disappointed looks on everyone's faces. When her gaze swept over Ye Feng, she saw that Ye Feng's expression was calm and composed. In her heart, she felt a little more positive about Ye Feng, who seemed to be at the bottom. At least he wasn't as bad as she had imagined.

"Alright, Shi Lei, you stay. Wu Qiu, you take the others and go." Without much explanation, Shui Xuan simply dismissed them.

Although the group was slightly disappointed, they had no choice but to leave the hall with Wuqiu.

After everyone left, only Shui Xuan and Shi Lei remained in the hall.

"Shi Lei, do you know why I left you alone?" Shui Xuan said to Shi Lei.

"I don't know, please tell me, Master." Shi Lei himself was also completely baffled as to why he had been left alone.

"You are the only one among this group of disciples without spiritual power, yet you have already achieved such strength. It is evident that you have been diligently cultivating." Shui Xuan looked at Shi Lei with an approving gaze.

"Thank you for your praise, Master. It's just a pity that I have never been able to cultivate spiritual power. Now that I'm over twenty, my hopes are even slimmer." When he mentioned that he had not been able to cultivate spiritual power, there was a hint of sadness in Shi Lei's eyes.

"You needn't feel ashamed. Even without spiritual power now, you're still far superior to those who are arrogant and conceited because they possess it, unwilling to cultivate diligently, and whose strength is mediocre." At this point, Shui Xuan perked up. "The path of cultivation is fraught with hardship, requiring relentless effort and unwavering perseverance. Even if one is fortunate enough to possess spiritual power, without diligent cultivation, one is nothing more than this." "The reason I'm keeping you is because the cultivation methods in the Scripture Pavilion are unsuitable for you. We are destined to meet. Back then, I myself struggled to cultivate spiritual power, and finally created my own method, which gradually allowed me to cultivate spiritual power. Combined with my own hard work, that's how I achieved my current strength. Since we are so destined, I will take you as my last disciple and personally teach you this method. Are you willing?"

"Thank you, Master. I am willing." To become a closed-door disciple and have the opportunity to cultivate spiritual power was something Shi Lei never dared to dream of before. He had wanted to become a strong person since he was a child, so he cultivated diligently every day. Unfortunately, he had never been able to cultivate spiritual power. Now that the opportunity was in front of him, Shi Lei could hardly control his excitement. His body trembled slightly with excitement.

"Although I have accepted you as my last disciple, don't be too happy yet. Although my cultivation method has helped me cultivate spiritual power, no one can guarantee that you will be able to do it. Whether you succeed or not depends on your own efforts," Shui Xuan reminded him.

"Yes, disciple will keep it in mind and live up to Master's expectations."

"Alright, you can go now. A senior brother will take you to your residence in a while. However, since you've become my disciple, you won't be living with the other disciples for the sake of easier teaching." After saying this, Shui Xuan stopped talking and turned to look at the picture of himself on the wall, seemingly deep in thought.

"Senior Brother Wu, why do you think Master left Shi Lei behind alone?" At this moment, Wu Qiu was leading Ye Feng and the others to choose their future accommodations.

"I guess Master wants to personally guide him. I heard that Master also struggled to cultivate spiritual power until very late, just like Shi Lei. But Master didn't give up and that's why he has achieved what he has today. So you must remember that you must work even harder in your future cultivation and not bring shame to our Master." Wu Qiu said seriously, "I know you may have some complaints that Master only teaches Shi Lei and doesn't guide you. But as Master said, the key to cultivation is still your own. External forces are just an aid. How much you achieve depends entirely on yourself."

"Although our sect is much smaller than the disciples of other elders, we brothers are very united. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, I, Wuqiu, will do my best to help you. Alright, this is where you will live from now on." As he spoke, Wuqiu led everyone to a platform.

"Hurry up and choose a place to stay. You can choose any place except where people are already living. After you've chosen, I'll take you to select the cultivation techniques you'll be practicing in the future."

"Senior Brother Wuqiu, these five are the newly recruited junior brothers." Just as they were talking, a girl's voice suddenly came, and everyone looked in the direction of the voice.

Before me stood a girl of about fifteen years old. Although petite, her lovely face and bright, sparkling eyes hinted that she would surely grow up to be a beauty.

"Junior Sister Shuiying, so you're here too. That's right, I brought them here to choose accommodations." Wuqiu quickly laughed it off. This junior sister was Master Shuixuan's daughter. Although she was beautiful and pleasing to the eye, she was also mischievous and cunning. Many of his fellow disciples had suffered at her hands. Wuqiu was feeling quite troubled at the moment.

"Since you're all new here, you'll all have to call me 'Senior Sister' from now on, understand? Also, whoever can cook, please speak up. I'll be in charge of cooking tonight and I'll be the one to check it. If it's not good, there will be a punishment."

Sure enough, nothing good ever came of encountering this girl. Wuqiu could only silently lament the bad luck of his junior brothers; this girl's mouth had long been spoiled. "Junior Sister Shuiying, isn't there someone in charge of cooking? Besides, these junior brothers just arrived, so let them rest for a while." Although he knew it was useless, Wuqiu still symbolically said a few nice words.

At this moment, the crowd was naturally unaware of the truth, but seeing Wuqiu's respectful demeanor, they understood that this girl was not to be trifled with, and of course, no one would voluntarily step forward to take on the cooking duties.

"Hmph, no one else, huh? Then I'll pick someone." Sure enough, Wu Qiu's words were completely useless. Shui Ying ignored Wu Qiu without any surprise. "You're the one. You'll do it tonight. If I'm not satisfied, hmph." Junior Sister Shui Ying smiled mischievously, and the person she picked was none other than the unfortunate Ye Feng.

Ye Feng was naturally very frustrated, but he couldn't say anything at the moment. Looking at everyone, they all had gloating expressions, so it seemed that no one would come to his aid.

"The rest of you shouldn't be too happy yet. If he doesn't satisfy me, it'll be your turn to take turns." The group that had been gloating immediately switched to a miserable expression upon hearing this. What's meant to happen will happen.

Junior Sister Shuiying still wanted to pester them, but fortunately Wuqiu brought up Master Shuixuan's name in time, finally getting rid of the junior sister's entanglement and quickly leading everyone to choose accommodations.

The group didn't pay much attention to where they chose to stay. Apart from Ye Feng, the other four chose to stay together in a nearby location, showing that the desire to stick together existed everywhere. Compared to the four of them, Ye Feng, who chose a relatively remote place, seemed a bit out of place.

Fortunately, Wuqiu soon called everyone to choose their cultivation techniques, and without much hesitation, they quickly set off with Wuqiu...
