Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough-Novel

Chapter 68: Why did Chu Yang suddenly turn into a Bootlicker?

Looking over at Zhi Ruo, Xuan Hao ignored the arguing Qing Yi and Chu Yang as he made his way over to her.

"Do you have any idea what happened?"

"Ah, from what I know, the young man woke up and saw Qing Yi sorting the herbs she brought back. After that, he started saying that one of the herbs was his and that she had stolen it or something… I don't really know, as they have been like this for the last half hour with nothing happening…" Seeing Xuan Hao appear besides her and ask her about the current situation, Zhi Ruo straightened up and tried her best to answer.

So, Chu Yang and Qing Yi was arguing because Qing Yi had a herb that Chu Yang claimed was his?

"Hah…" Letting a quiet sigh escape his lips, Xuan Hao turned and looked at Chu Yang and Qing Yi who was still arguing over the spirit herb.

It was obvious that the spirit herb was Qing Yi's as nobody would believe what Chu Yang had said about him "letting the spirit herb grow until it reaches maturity" and then harvesting it, especially when the spirit herb was located out in a spirit valley that had most likely not been explored yet.

"Qing Yi, go back to your room, I will take care of this guy." Deciding to not let them continue arguing anymore, Xuan Hao interrupted the two as he told Qing Yi to head back to her room.

"Yes, master!" Smiling slightly, Qing Yi quickly grabbed the herbs she had lying in the room along with the spirit herb as she quickly made her way out of the room with a triumphant look on her face. Not forgetting to smile cheekily in the direction of Chu Yang, as she disappeared.

"You!" Not even getting a chance to argue with that fact that Qing Yi had taken the spirit herb and run away, Chu Yang had no clue what to do, as he could only watch his chances of a breakthrough to the next realm slip away.

Chu Yang had no idea what to do at the moment, just recently, he had woken up in a strange place that he did not know about and his last memory was him being knocked out cold by the people in black clothes chasing after him.

But his condition did not seem to fit the scenario of being captured by the black clothed men, after all, he laid on a couch without being restrained.

That was when he saw it, the spirit herb that should have helped him breakthrough to the next realm and help survive the black clothed men's attack!

Mustering all his strength, Chu Yang had tried to grab the herb and eat it but was rudely awakened by a rude girl pushing him back and asking him why he was trying to take her herbs.

Chu Yang did not know why, but for that girl to suddenly tell him that the spirit herb that he had secretly cared for and grown for years in his grand escape plan really angered him to no end…

Even when Xuan Hao had entered, he did not notice him and had just continued arguing with the rude girl until she suddenly said something about her master and left before he could react in time.

"Ahm… Can we talk?" Hearing a sudden voice coming from behind him Chu Yang almost jumped out of his skin in surprise as he quickly turned around and inspected the person who was talking.

"Who are you uncle?"

"…"

Chu Yang did not know why, but he suddenly felt a chill go down his spine as his face slowly turned pale, the aura coming off Xuan Hao's body at the moment was suffocating for him, as Chu Yang felt like he could barely breath.

That uncle is definitely someone strong!

Even before he escaped, Chu Yang had only felt such a strong aura from the leaders of the organisation! Worst of all, this random uncle's aura seemed to be slightly stronger than some of them!

In his mind, Chu Yang noted down that he should definitely not offend the scary uncle that had suddenly appeared!

…

Uncle? Why did people start calling him that all of a sudden? He was only 21 years old… Maybe he just looked older than he actually was…?

Shaking his head slightly at the thought, Xuan Hao decided to just ignore it and instead focused back on Chu Yang who now had a somewhat lost look on his face as he blankly stared at him.

"Are you okay?" Wondering whether something happened, Xuan Hao asked worriedly. Hopefully, nothing happened to his 50+ tale- future disciple…

"I-I'm fine, w-what can I help you with, Sir…?" Showing a meek and submissive expression, Chu Yang turned from someone strong willed and sharp witted into a first-class bootlicker…

What the hell happened?!

"What is your name?" showing a slightly awkward smile, Xuan Hao asked.

"My name is Chu Yang, Sir! M-might I know why I'm here?" Still carrying a submissive expression, Chu Yang looked up at Xuan Hao as he patiently waited for him to answer.

"Chu Yang… I see. The reason why you are here is because I brought you here, I found you knocked out in a spirit valley on my way back to the Sect and decided and saw you were quite talented for your age, so I brought you along." Coming up with a good reason, Xuan Hao did not mention anything about him killing off the black clothed men and just told Chu Yang that he had found him knocked out and brought him back to his Sect due to his talent.

"Knocked out… I see…" Returning back to his formerly sharp self, Chu Yang narrowed his eyes as he was deep in thought.

"I honestly thought about taking you in as a disciple as well, seeing that you can be considered decent and as you may be able to tell, the pavilion is quite empty at the moment." Telling him outright about his intention to recruit him, Xuan Hao saw Chu Yang suddenly freeze up as he looked up at Xuan Hao.

"Sir… I…"

"No need to worry, you are not a member of a Sect already, are you?"

"N-no Sir…"

"That is fine then! I will let you think about it for a few days, just ask Zhi Ruo here for help if you have any questions." With that short conversation, Xuan Hao left the small room.

He had already stated his intention to recruit Chu Yang and the chances of him refusing was low, someone was hunting him down and what he needed right now more than anything, was a strong backing.

And with Zhi Ruo there to explain about the Flying Sword Sect, Xuan Hao was certain that he would accept!

After all, who in the Heavenly Sky Kingdom did not know about the Flying Sword Sect?

Other than the skirmishes with the Raging Flame Sect that had lasted for hundreds of years, the Flying Sword Sect did not really have any enemies and was considered a relatively neutral force in the Heavenly Sky Kingdom. Only having a single enemy inside the kingdom and no enemy outside.
