"I am sorry for ignoring you, I thought you hated me for not accepting you as a disciple and did not want to see me, so I just gave you space... and we ended up like strangers now, I hope you can forgive me" Xuan spoke while looking directly into the eyes of Mo Yan. It had been a while since she last made eye contact with her.
Mo Yan was thoroughly stunned, not because the sect master was saying sorry but because it was not her fault. She herself was the one who had started avoiding her in the first place. "I-It is not your fault, please do not say sorry. I was the one who began avoiding you... so I am sorry."
Xuan Xue shook her head. "You were just too young and as a senior I should have been the one to not let you go like that. Forget it. Can we leave it aside now and go back to the old ways?"
There was no point in pointing out each other’s mistakes.
Mo Yan nodded. She had been willing to do that for a long time but did not find the courage to do so after dissociating with her for this long.
"Good, are you willing to become my disciple?"
Mo Yan was stunned to the core. This was not something she was expecting to happen. She had thought that they were just going back to the old times when she used to see her as a motherly figure and called her big sister.
Xuan Xue sighed at her stunned expression. "You can think about it. If you do not want to then it is fine, no worries, we can just forget about it."
"N-No... I mean yes, I am willing to be your disciple, Master" Mo Yan spoke hurriedly. She had always wanted to accept her as her master.
Xuan Xue felt even more terrible hearing that. She should have asked about it sooner, "Come here" Xuan xue went close and hugged Mo Yan, " It’s been so long"
Tears begin to form in the eyes of Mo Yan, she had longed for this warmth....
After few minutes Xuan Xue and Mo Yan seperated.
" Let us do the ceremony now."
Xuan Xue took out the set and Mo Yan prepared the tea and offered her the ceremonial tea while kowtowing. Xuan Xue accepted it and drank it, completing the ceremony.
"Disciple Mo Yan greets Master" Mo Yan gave her first greetings after becoming a disciple. She was really happy right now.
Xuan Xue nodded with a smile. "Good, but remember one thing, you are the senior disciple. Do not let Lin Feng make you call him senior brother."
Mo Yan was surprised. She would not have minded calling junior brother Lin as senior brother, but since Master had said so then she would be the senior.
Xuan Xue could not help but think of something. She smiled and asked, "Tell me, how much do you know about your junior brother?"
Mo Yan’s thoughts went to the time she had spent with Lin Feng on their mission. Junior brother was well behaved and did not try to strike up conversations, but when he was drunk... she did not know what to make of it. He was talking perfectly as if he was not drunk at all, but his actions were indeed those of a drunk person.
In the end, he was definitely conscious of what he was doing. If she summed it up, then her junior brother was a lecher like other males. He was just less obvious about it. Now that she thought about it, she did not feel repulsed by it. Her junior brother had never looked at her with those eyes.
"Master, I do not know much, but is junior brother a scoundrel?" Since she could not perfectly decide, she simply asked.
Xuan Xue was surprised. "So that scoundrel really did something to make you ask that question." No wonder he had been quite eager to make her accept Mo Yan as a disciple.
She did not know if she should feel amused or angry... sigh, I am too soft. But if he thinks that he can keep doing it like this then he is in for a rude awakening. "Well, he is a scoundrel for sure, although it is not totally his fault."
Mo Yan raised her eyes. "How so?"
"You see, your junior brother possesses a similar physique to mine."
Mo Yan was surprised. She was one of the few people in the sect who knew about her master’s physique. But what did Master mean by similar physique? Males definitely could not have Pure Yin Body.
"He has Pure Yang Body. When I said similar to mine, it was in another meaning. In reality, it is totally opposite in nature to mine. The other meaning, you understand right?"
Mo Yan was stunned. She finally understood the reason why Master had said it was not totally her junior brother’s fault. In fact, the way her junior brother behaved was far more restrained given his physique.
"Sigh... in the upcoming days you might find some shocking truths, so be prepared. Also, your junior brother will not be as restrained as before now that you are going to live with us, so if he acts inappropriately then just beat him" Xuan Xue said with a smile.
Mo Yan was speechless. What kind of shocking truths would she find that even Master warned her? As for the matter of beating junior brother, she did not know if she would be able to do it.
After their last mission and now knowing that he had Pure Yang Body, she might let him act a little unrestrained... of course if he went overboard then she would just restrain him.
"Collect your things and let us go."
Mo Yan nodded and began collecting her things. There was not much to collect anyway. Most of her things were in her spatial ring. Only a few robes and a special feather whose value was unimaginable remained in her abode.
She picked them and came out with Xuan Xue. When Lin Feng saw them, he stood up.
"You should have entered inside, junior brother" Mo Yan said as she looked at Lin Feng, who stood up from sitting on the chilling snow.
"It is fine, senior sister" Lin Feng shook his head.
"Lin Feng, from now on Mo Yan will be your real senior sister and you had better behave." Although Xuan Xue strained her voice on the last sentence, she doubted it would work.
Lin Feng smiled innocently. He was genuinely happy hearing that finally senior sister Mo Yan had become his real senior sister. "Of course, Master, I will always listen to senior sister and follow her advice to heart."
