Primordial Era: When a Good Guy Awakens a Morally Unethical System

"Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master!" The two children quickly bowed in gratitude.

Although they had just taken human form, they had entered the sect earlier than Wuchen and the others. Although this was their first time meeting Hongyun, they had talked quite a bit on ordinary days and were not at all reserved.

Hongyun: "Now that you have taken human form, you can choose your own rooms in the backyard, or you can stay with Huiyu as before. I don't have many rules, so you can do as you please."

Of course, they can do as they please. No matter where they live, it's always Qingfeng and Mingyue who are busy, and it's always Zhen Yuanzi who is informed. Hongyun only needs to say this one sentence to them.

Yu Sheng looked at Hong Yun longingly: "We still want to live with Second Brother."

Hongyun smiled and nodded: "Either is fine, either is fine."

"After you transformed into human form, did you go to pay your respects to Zhen Yuanzi? He has always been the one taking care of you; you should go and thank him."

Yuheng nodded: "It was Master Fu who used magic to transform us into human form, and we have already thanked him."

Before Hongyun could even be surprised by their way of addressing Zhen Yuanzi, Yusheng secretly nudged Yuheng.

They were his disciples. If they were to become disciples of someone else, he would surely sense it, even if that person were Zhen Yuanzi. But he sensed nothing, nor could he see any master-disciple bond between them and Zhen Yuanzi. How could they call him master?

But so be it. Zhen Yuanzi has always taken care of them, and he wouldn't mind if they took another master.

"Master, we have already thanked Saint Zhen Yuanzi," Yu Sheng quickly changed the subject.

Hongyun gave them a strange look. She didn't press them, after all, they were just two little kids, and it was possible they called the wrong name.

Yuheng realized he had said the wrong thing, looked to Yusheng for help, and the two of them ran away together.

Yu Sheng, still possessing some semblance of reason, bowed and took her leave: "I haven't seen my brother since I took human form. If Master has no further instructions, I will go to find him."

Watching the two children run out hand in hand, tripping over the threshold together, Hongyun had no time to doubt; all she could do was laugh, laughing with unbridled joy.

After a while, when Zhen Yuanzi came over, Hongyun was still leaning back in her chair, laughing happily. He immediately frowned and said, "What's making you so happy? You've completely abandoned your composure!"

Hongyun: "Yusheng and Yuheng, that's so interesting!"

Zhen Yuanzi rolled his eyes at Hongyun helplessly. He had met Yu Sheng and Yu Heng before, and he could tell whether they were interesting or just stupid. Hongyun, as their master, not only wasn't worried at all, but was even mocking them.

"Yuheng is somewhat naive!" Yusheng was alright.

Hongyun nodded, nonchalantly saying, "They're all still young. They'll mature a bit as they get older. Just now, Yuheng was calling you 'Master,' and I was starting to suspect you'd taken them as disciples too. Turns out, they just mistook him for their master!"

Zhen Yuanzi's expression froze instantly. He had heard Yuheng address him before, but he hadn't corrected him. He had been worried that Hongyun would be displeased, but he hadn't expected Hongyun to think that way. Indeed, one shouldn't try to guess Hongyun's thoughts.

"If I were to take them as my disciples, I would naturally inform you."

"It doesn't matter if we both take on one disciple. If you like one, then take him on," Hongyun said generously.

Although leading someone to join another's sect would cause his master to lose face, Hongyun wouldn't care at all if that person was Zhen Yuanzi. Even if word got out, no one would think that Hongyun had lost face or that he had developed a grudge against Zhen Yuanzi.
