What Do You Mean My Cute Disciples Are Yanderes?

Chapter 27 - Wait, Itʼs Already The Tournament Arc?

(Lian Li POV)

We followed Master through the Phoenix Sectʼs doors, taking the front most position of the Heaven Sect convoy just behind the Sect Master.

Eris finally recovered from Masterʼs unexpected princess carry the week before, leaving her blissful corner of the room.

How incredibly fortunate of her.

Kuh~ I want Master to carry me too…

No, no, must not be too greedy, Master is still brushing my hair after all.

”Sect Master Long! Long time no see!” Some old fart greeted the Sect Master enthusiastically.

”Oho? Sect Master Feng! How unexpected of you to greet us at the door!”

”Ho ho ho! You are too humble Master Long!”

I rolled my eyes at their farce, itʼs so obvious that neither of them meant what theyʼve said. I wonʼt be surprised if either of them had been planning on backstabbing each other anytime soon.

”Ah, this must be the famed Master Lin!”

The four of us tensed, all our eyes on this old fogey.

”Welcome to my humble Sect, Master Lin! Iʼve heard a lot of things about you!” The old fart greeted, cupping his hands.

”Likewise Sect Master Feng,” Master greeted while mirroring his hand actions.

”Hmm, Master Lin. We have a lot of people here who are interested in meeting you within our Sect. Could I offer an invitation for you to stay at our Sect after the Festival as a guest for a while?”

This old fart couldnʼt be more obvious in his attempt to poach Master over to his own Sect.

Our own Sect Master placed a possessive hand on Masterʼs shoulder, ”Ho ho ho! Master Feng, you must understand our Master Lin is a very busy man, he has duties he needs to fulfill back at our own Sect. Whatʼs more, he has recently picked up a few disciples which means he wonʼt be able to stay here for long.”

”Oh nonsense! Master Lin, your disciples are welcome to stay as well!” That old fart laughed, eyeing us with his disgusting eyes. ”In fact, I would welcome them with open arms.”

”Hahaha! Sect Master Feng really knows how to jest, our Master Linʼs disciples should be nurtured within Heaven Sect itself.”

”Oh? But I was not joking at all, Sect Master Long. An exchange between our Sects would go a very long way towards improving our Sect relations. Who else better than the famed Master Lin and his disciples to do this?”

This old geezer really knows how to talk, itʼs obvious that heʼs only interested in roping Master to his Sect.

”Oh, but we canʼt neglect Master Linʼs feeling now can we? What do you think of Sect Master Fengʼs offer, Master Lin?”

Master cupped his hands together, ”I am honored by Sect Master Fengʼs offer, but I cannot accept your offer at this time as I would like to focus on training my own disciples now. With my attention spread out as such, I would not be a good guest at Master Fengʼs Sect.”

As expected of Master, he skillfully deflected the old geezerʼs invitation without sounding rude or arrogant.

”Hmm… I see,” the old fossil nodded pretentiously. ”I shall not impose on you then, just know our doors are always open for you, Master Lin.”

My sisters and I shared a knowing look, weʼll definitely need to keep an eye on this pre-decomposed old fossil.

”Now, if youʼll excuse us, Sect Master Feng, I shall lead my Sect to the Festival grounds,” our own Sect Master huffed, walking past him with his chin high.

Master followed him without hesitation, prompting the rest of the Sect to do the same and leaving the old fart behind.

The Festival location was in the Phoenix Sectʼs biggest courtyard, they had a giant stage built to accommodate this farce. Iʼm pretty sure the stage could have a few hundred people fighting comfortably on it without it being too cramped.

We were promptly shown to our seating area where our Sect Master took the centre seat with Master beside him. The rest of the Elders and Masters also took their own seats while we disciples stood behind them with the others.

Manami, Eris and I stood next to each other while Cai Hong sat on Masterʼs lap as his ʼadoptedʼ daughter.

How enviable…

If only thereʼs a way to regress my bodyʼs age.

Oh wait, I believe Manamiʼs searching on a way to do just that, I suppose itʼs just a matter of time. She didnʼt tell me why exactly she was searching for such a thing though, but I didnʼt deem it important enough to ask.

It took another half an hour before all the Sects were present, some of the other Sectʼs Elders and Masters came over to offer greetings to our Sect Master.
