Chapter 900: Taking in Disciples
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Mu Feng only felt a throbbing pain in his heart, as if something was broken.
Mu Feng felt terrible, but he also clearly understood that he and Jiang Wanlin would only be worlds apart in the future.
He was filled with hatred, regret, and unwillingness.
If only he hadn’t met Chen Lian. He wouldn’t have lost Jiang Wanlin. He might even have been taken in as Su Xiaolu’s disciple. No matter how bad it was, he wouldn’t be like this.
Chen Lian was like his nemesis. After meeting her and being attached to her, he lost everything.
Jiang Wanlin looked at Mu Feng and saw his hatred. She turned around and returned to her room. Who Mu Feng hated had nothing to do with her.
They would have nothing to do with each other from now on, and she was not interested in knowing.
She had already sent a letter home and told her parents about the matter in detail. Not only did she have nothing to do with Mu Feng from now on, but the two families would also have nothing to do with each other from now on.
Mu Feng watched in a daze as Jiang Wanlin entered her room. He felt lost and could only turn around and leave in a sorry state.
Chen Lian waited happily for him to go down the mountain with her, but she did not know what would welcome her in the future. However, she had come to this point herself and could not blame anyone.
After Chen Lian and Mu Feng were expelled, there were often discussions in the academy.
However, as time passed, these discussions gradually disappeared. When it came to the annual assessment, some were happy, while others were sad.
The days passed quickly.
Su Xiaolu took in three disciples at once. Every day, she was engrossed in teaching. The three disciples were also extremely hardworking. Every time Su Xiaolu looked at their burning gazes, it was as if she was looking at her younger self.
Everyone had their own way to practice the sword and gain enlightenment. Su Xiaolu had completely accepted them, so she naturally had to bring them into the Dao. Then, they trained hard day after day.
In just a few months, the three of them had improved at lightning speed.
“Master, do you feel that Junior Sister is getting colder and colder? Her sword seems to have frost.”
After the sword practice ended, Wang Mingyue leaned on Fang Lan’s shoulder and spoke to Su Xiaolu, who was helping her relax her meridians.
Su Xiaolu smiled and said, “Everyone comprehends different Daos. There are naturally differences.”
Little Niu had said before that Jiang Wanlin had no benefits to gain from love. If she fell in love, she would definitely suffer, she would suffer a huge blow or lose her life. It was best if she could be heartless. Jiang Wanlin also seemed to have learned it without a teacher and actually really comprehended her own heartless Dao.
Her sword intent had no emotions, so it was naturally filled with coldness and killing intent. Jiang Wanlin would definitely be a very powerful cultivator in the future.
“What vou’ve comprehended vourself also requires vou to think about it repeatedly. The more you practice it, the more you can reach the pinnacle. Whether you have love or no love, there’s no difference. Train well.”
Su Xiaolu smiled gently and said. She wondered if the two old men would come back this year and if they would be satisfied with the few disciples she had taken in.
Time passed quickly. Another two years had passed.
“Go home in a few days and have a good gathering with your family.” When she reached Jiang Wanlin’s side, Su Xiaolu spoke gently.
Jiang Wanlin nodded. “Okay, thank you, Master.”
Jiang Wanlin felt that Su Xiaolu understood her too well. Every time she looked at her, Su Xiaolu would understand what she meant. Thinking about what Su Xiaolu had just said, Jiang Wanlin could not help but guess. Su Xiaolu was very gentle. After becoming her disciple, they understood each other better, so Jiang Wanlin was not worried about speaking up. She wanted to ask, so she thought for a moment and asked.
Jiang Wanlin asked, “Master, do you cultivate the Heartless Dao?”
Many teachers in the academy had families.
However, Su Xiaolu was different. She was cold. She was beautiful and distant, but she was also very gentle, like the warm sun that made people want to approach her.
There were many rumors about Su Xiaolu.
After Jiang Wanlin comprehended the Heartless Dao, she felt that love was a burden. It was too tiring to think about others. She was free and focused on doing her own things. If she had to ask her goal, her current goal was Su Xiaolu.
But was Su Xiaolu the same as her? She had always been curious, but she could only ask now.
After Jiang Wanlin asked, Wang Mingyue and Fang Lan immediately became curious too.
Su Xiaolu smiled and replied, “No, there are some things that I haven’t thought through yet, and there are no suitable opportunities, so I don’t have a lover.”
“If I find one in the future, I’ll let you know.” Su Xiaolu smiled and stroked Jiang Wanlin’s hair.
Jiang Wanlin nodded obediently.
Su Xiaolu got up and went back.
After Su Xiaolu left, Wang Mingyue nudged Jiang Wanlin with her elbow and said, “Junior Sister, I’m starting to admire you now.”
Ever since that incident, Jiang Wanlin had changed. She was calm, rational, and decisive. Wang Mingyue was very happy to see her change.
Jiang Wanlin smiled embarrassedly and said, “Senior Sister, don’t tease me.”
“Junior Sister, when you go home this time, we won’t see each other again until after the new year.”
Wang Mingyue sighed and didn’t want to be separated. They practiced their swordsmanship together and competed with each other. How good was that?
Going home meant that they would not be able to see each other for many days, so they would not know if the other party had relaxed or if they had worked harder.
“Wanwan, you can’t work too hard when you go back…”
Wang Mingyue hugged Jiang Wanlin’s arm and shook it. She was going home and had to compete with her friends in horse riding and drinking. It would be too embarrassing if she was left behind.
Jiang Wanlin smiled. “No, I won’t practice swordsmanship at home. I’ll stay at home to accompany Father and Mother, eat, and chat.”
She missed home. There were so many things she wanted to tell her mother. She would practice the sword when she came back.
“Thank you, Junior Sister. I can’t thank you enough.”
Fang Lan cupped fists. The three of them were too competitive with each other. They usually competed in swordsmanship, so naturally, no one wanted to fall behind. After returning home, they had to reunite with their families. They were afraid of falling behind.
Fortunately, they reached an agreement.
“Ahem, Senior Brothers and Sisters, although I can’t surpass you now, I’ll work hard in the future and strive to officially surpass you in the future. I want to be your Senior Sister.”
Jiang Wanlin coughed lightly and said righteously. This was a rule set by Master. It was very fun, but it was really inspiring.
Wang Mingyue and Fang Lan practiced their swordsmanship diligently, afraid that she would surpass them. She also ignited her fighting spirit and practiced her swordsmanship diligently, wanting to be their Senior Sister.
“Hmph, that will depend on your ability.”
Wang Mingyue stood up and placed her hands on her hips.
As long as Jiang Wanlin didn’t practice her sword when she got home, everyone would go crazy together in the academy.
The three of them looked at each other and smiled, reaching an invisible tacit understanding.
In mid-December, Su Xiaolu sent a few disciples down the mountain to return home. She also entered the capital and prepared to leave after telling Zhou Zhi.
This year, she was going to return to her parents’ side for the new year. When Su Kuo and Little Niu went to train, her side was quiet.
Su Xiaolu arrived at the Wisdom King’s Residence and waited. She was already very familiar with this place. Zhou Zhi did not come, so she waited in the pavilion around the stove. Everything in the world had changed drastically in recent years, and more and more demon ghosts had appeared..
