Chapter 2834: Murong Bing’s Junior Sister?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Murong Bing was the third disciple of Wang Dan Feng, the second Guardian of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect. Two of the disciples who came before Murong Bing had passed away a long time ago. One of them had died in an accident, and the other one was personally killed by Wang Dan Feng. He knew Wang Dan Feng had five disciples, including the two who had died. Among the three disciples, Murong Bing was the most talented. The other two living disciples were slightly inferior compared to her. He had learned all this from Tie Tai He, the Supreme Elder of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect.
‘If this person is really Wang Dan Feng’s last disciple, then, she’s Murong Bing’s junior sister as well!’ Duan Ling Tian was excited to see the special guest, hoping that Murong Bing had come as well.
Situ Ming nodded and said, “Okay… I’ll bring you to her.” Although the guest’s identity was rather special, he believed the Old Ancestor would support Duan Ling Tian if Duan Ling Tian refused to let the guest meet Huan’er.
As they walked, Situ Ming could not help but remind Duan Ling Tian. “Master Duan, The guest is rather young. If she says anything that offends you, please don’t take it to heart.” He had seen the guest earlier and heard her say she refused to believe Huan’er was an unrivaled beauty unless she saw Huan’er with her own eyes. She had even accused them of exaggerating Huan’er’s beauty since they refused to let her meet Huan’er. They felt rather helpless, but they did not refute her words. Now that he was bringing someone other than Huan’er to meet the guest, he could only imagine the offensive words that would spew out of the guest’s mouth.
“Don’t worry, I know the limit.” Duan Ling Tian nodded. If the guest was truly the last disciple of Wang Dan Feng, the second Guardian of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect, then, she was also Murong Bing’s junior sister. He had long regarded Murong Bing as his woman so he would treat Murong Bing’s junior sister as his junior sister as well. He would let it slide even if her words were offensive. Moreover, Situ Ming had said she was only a young girl.
After a while, Situ Ming and Duan Ling Tian finally came to the main hall of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect’s residence in Alchemy City.
Duan Ling Tian saw two people in the hall. One was Yang Chong, and the other was a girl who stood with her back facing him.
Duan Ling Tian heard Yang Chong said helplessly, “Miss, for the last time, please be patient. They’ll arrive soon…”
Duan Ling Tian shook his head. Even someone as patient as Yang Chong seemed to be at his wit’s end. He could imagine how difficult the guest was.
As soon as Duan Ling Tian and Situ Ming entered the hall, Yang Chong cried out in relief, “They’re here! They’re here!” His eyes brightened the moment he saw the duo. It was as though he had seen his savior.
“They’re here?” A melodious voice rang in the air, and the green-clad figure turned around. She was delicate and pretty. Although she was still young, one could see she would grow into a beauty in the future. The girl was none other than Lyu Luo.
“A-Are you bullying me because I’m young?” Lyu Luo’s expression soured immediately when she saw Situ Ming and Duan Ling Tian. She sounded furious when she spoke. Her eyes were cold as she looked at Duan Ling Tian and said, “Don’t tell me he’s Huan’er, the unrivaled beauty whom everyone has been talking about!”
Duan Ling Tian ignored Lyu Luo’s pointed gaze and asked, “Little girl, are you really the last disciple of Wang Dan Feng, the second Guardian of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect?”
“So what if I am or if I am not? I don’t care about you. The person I want to meet is not you,” Lyu Luo said coldly.
Duan Ling Tian’s expression remained unchanged as he continued to ask, “Is Murong Bing your Third Senior Sister?”
“Huh?” Lyu Luo was slightly shocked when she heard Duan Ling Tian’s words. She looked at him suspiciously and asked, “Do you… know my Third Senior Sister?”
“Of course,” Duan Ling Tian calmly replied, “Not only do I know her, but I’m very close to her as well… Perhaps, you can address me as brother-in-law.”
“You’re close with my senior sister? Brother-in-law? What do you mean?” Lyu Luo frowned, failing to grasp the meaning of Duan Ling Tian’s words.
However, Situ Ming and Yang Chong understood the meaning of Duan Ling Tian’s words. The two looked at each other in shock when they heard him say he was close to Murong Bing and even asked the little girl to address him as brother-in-law.
“Is Master Duan dating Murong Bing of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect?” Yang Chong asked Situ Ming through Voice Transmission.
“How would I know? I haven’t heard Master Duan mention this before,” Situ Ming responded.
“I mean… I am your Third Senior Sister’s boyfriend. Since you’re her junior sister, you should call me brother-in-law.” Duan Ling Tian raised an eyebrow.
“Bullsh*t!” Lyu Luo said vehemently, “My Third Senior Sister is a pure and innocent woman. There’s no way she has a boyfriend. She’s the future Sect Leader of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect so she can’t have a boyfriend!”
“Did she come to Alchemy City as well?” Duan Ling Tian asked.
“Why should I tell you that?” Lyu Luo said disdainfully. Suddenly, she raised an eyebrow and said, “I see. You must be deliberately diverting my attention in hopes that I’ll forget about the purpose of my visit.”
Then, Lyu Luo turned to look at Situ Ming and Yang Chong before firing words after words at them. Even Duan Ling Tian was taken aback. “Both of you are still insisting you’re not trying to hide anything? What’s the meaning of this? I’ve waited for such a long time but I still haven’t seen Huan’er. You even brought this effeminate man to meet me! It’s obvious you’re exaggerating Huan’er’s beauty and are afraid of being exposed by me! Those people are really blind for saying Huan’er is more beautiful than my Third Senior Sister. If she’s so beautiful, why is she hiding?”
Situ Ming and Yang Chong looked at Duan Ling Tian helplessly.
When Duan Ling Tian recovered from his shock, he asked, “Do you really want to see Huan’er?”
“Of course! Otherwise, why do you think I’m here?” Lyu Luo retorted.
“If you want to see Huan’er, you’ll need my permission,” Duan Ling Tian calmly said, “If you answer my question truthfully, I’ll let you meet Huan’er.”
“Do you think I’ll believe you?” Lyu Luo looked at Duan Ling Tian skeptically. “Earlier, these two old men also said that I’ll be able to meet that woman. In the end, after waiting for such a long time, I only got to meet a shameless pretty boy.”
“It’s fine if you call me a pretty boy… But why are you calling me shameless?” Duan Ling Tian frowned, slightly dissatisfied.
“Didn’t you say you’re my Third Senior Sister’s boyfriend? Isn’t that shameless?” Lyu Luo said irritably.
“I…” Duan Ling Tian was speechless. He did not know how to respond. Who knew if Lyu Luo would tell Wang Dan Feng about him and Murong Bing? If Wang Dan Feng found out about it, she would definitely kill Murong Bing. After all, she had killed one of her disciples in the past for the same reason.
In the end, Duan Ling Tian took a deep breath and said to Lyu Luo, “Little girl, I promise. If you tell me whether your sister is in Alchemy City or not, I’ll take you to Huan’er immediately.” After a beat, he added, “Although I do think your senior sister is a rare beauty, Huan’er is still slightly more beautiful. This is a fact. Even if I’m your senior sister’s boyfriend, I will not arbitrarily take her side.”
“You also think Huan’er is more beautiful than my Third Senior Sister?” Lyu Luo became even more upset when she heard Duan Ling Tian’s words. She said, “I hope you’re not lying to me. Otherwise, I’ll ask my senior granduncle to annihilate the Tai Yi Celestial Sect! You better believe it… He’s a Ten Directions Celestial Duke so he can easily destroy your Tai Yi Celestial Sect who only has an Eight Trigrams Celestial Duke!” A proud expression could be seen on her face at this moment. She clearly took pride in the fact that her senior granduncle was a Ten Directions Celestial Duke.
“Little girl, why are you talking so much nonsense? Just tell me if your Third Senior Sister is in Alchemy City, and I’ll take you to Huan’er immediately,” Duan Ling Tian said with a hint of impatience.
“My Third Senior Sister is here,” Lyu Luo said.
“She’s here?” Duan Ling Tian’s eyes lit up.
