Chapter 101: Chapter 101: Legendary Genius Little Ancestor VS White Lotus Outer Sect Junior Sister (Fifteen)
He looked at Bai Xinya’s expectant eyes, and seeing that the junior sister showed no intention of speaking, he asked, “What do you need?”
Bai Xinya’s smile became even more enchanting, and she said bashfully, “Disciple admires the senior’s demeanor and thus came to pay a visit to the senior.”
Based on her experience, a man, upon seeing a beautiful woman admiring him, would certainly feel quite proud, and surely this Supreme Elder would take an interest in her.
Bai Xinya couldn’t help but let a smile appear on her face. However, the next moment, Xuan Ke’s words made her smile freeze on her face.
“Which peak do you belong to? How ignorant of the rules!” Xuan Ke frowned, “Interrupting the conversation of senior sect members, and for such a reason. Who is your master?”
Bai Xinya’s face suddenly turned pale. She had not expected things to turn out this way.
She wanted to say something, but the pressure emanating from Xuan Ke made it difficult for her to breathe.
She could only bow respectfully and say, “Disciple… is an Outer Sect Disciple and currently, has no master.”
Xuan Ke nodded, “So you’re an Outer Sect Disciple. The lack of guidance explains your ignorance of proper etiquette. It’s not your fault.”
His words made Bai Xinya flush with shame and anger. Was he implying that she was ill-mannered?
Because Gu Shengyin had not yet left, all the disciples inside the Sword Debate Hall remained seated, their eyes now fixed on Bai Xinya.
Bai Xinya felt as if she were about to collapse, sensing that everyone was laughing at her.
Xuan Ke frowned at her behavior. Was this really the comportment of a Sword Cultivator?
He glanced at Gu Shengyin beside him, who remained calm: Hmm, indeed, the junior sister is much better.
He let his Divine Sense spread out.
The Elder Xing Shi, responsible for the Outer Sect, was drinking tea in his room, and nearly choked on his tea when Xuan Ke’s voice suddenly rang in his ear.
“Come to the Sword Debate Hall immediately.”
Without time to consider what had happened, Elder Xing Shi put down his teacup and went to the Sword Debate Hall without a second word.
“I pay my respects to Venerable Ling Yun and to my little uncle.” Elder Xing Shi greeted them. Although Gu Shengyin’s realm was not as high as his own, in terms of seniority, she truly was his uncle.
Besides, being a Sword Emperor at eighteen years of age, Elder Xing Shi knew full well that it was only a matter of time before his little uncle became a Sword Sovereign or even a Sword Sect, and perhaps, she might even step into the realm of legends.
He saluted them with absolute respect and acceptance.
Xuan Ke spoke indifferently, “Is this Outer Sect Disciple under your charge? Although she is not your Direct Disciple, you still need to properly instruct her on some basic etiquettes that she should know, and what to do and what not to do.”
Elder Xing Shi was completely bewildered. He looked at Bai Xinya standing to one side, and although he didn’t understand the specifics, he guessed that she must have upset these two.
No matter the disposition, admitting fault was of utmost importance.
He hurriedly said, “The management oversight is my mistake. I ask the two uncles for forgiveness.”
Seeing Celestial Master Xing Shi’s stance, Xuan Ke didn’t say much more and left with Gu Shengyin.
As he respectfully watched them leave, Elder Xing Shi turned to Bai Xinya, who was standing to one side with a woeful face, his expression stern as water.
“Come with me,” he said to her.
He then singled out several other Outer Sect Disciples, “You few, come over as well, and tell me exactly what happened.”
Once the concerned parties had left, the remaining disciples in the Sword Debate Hall burst into a commotion, zealously discussing the events that had just unfolded.
Zhao Ximing sneered coldly and left the place.
