They truly did not get angry because of this. If they were angry about anything, they were only angry that Yun Luofeng didn’t tell them this earlier. If so, they could have even helped her with it!
Yun Luofeng was emotionally touched and a smile surfaced on her gorgeous face. “If the academy encounters any critical circumstances when Ji Jiutian isn’t present, you can spread the news and no matter if I’m a thousand miles away, I’ll rush back to help as long as I know about it.”
Regardless of whether it was repaying Ji Jiutian’s assistance or for these Masters who treated her as their disciple, she would not be stingy with her help.
“Disciple,” Xu Kong smiled, “With your talents, you’ll be well-known within the continent before long. At that time when we tell others that you’re our disciple, we as your masters will also feel honored. Therefore, you don’t have to feel that you’ve let us down for your motives. It’s as what Xue Ying has said, we should be thankful for that Soul Fruit, or else how could we have accepted such an outstanding disciple like you?”
As Xu Kong was afraid that Yun Luofeng would blame herself for the previous deceiving and concealing, he had repeated Xue Ying’s words once again.
“I understand,” Yun Luofeng cupped her fists. “Masters, please take care of yourselves! Yun Xiao, let’s go!”
She took a last glance at the elders and turned to leave. The moment she left, the atmosphere within the courtyard had once again turned silent, and Ling Hai had even sneakily wiped his tears.
Xu Kong looked at him and walked over to pat his shoulders as he said, “Hate to part with our disciple?”
“In my whole life, it’s the first time I’ve accepted such an outstanding disciple. Do you think I can bear to separate from her?” Ling Hai glared at Xu Kong and his expression was filled with grief.
“She has a bright future and we cannot restrict her path. As long as we’re fated, we will definitely meet her again in the future.”
Xue Ying smiled. She did not feel too emotional as they were on the same continent so there would definitely be an opportunity to meet again in the future.
“What’s wrong with you? Why are your faces sullen?”
The voice of someone who wasn’t clear about the situation could be heard from outside and soon after that, an elderly man walked into the room.
“Our disciple is about to leave the academy and Ling Hai is currently being emotional because of the separation.” Xue Ying quirked her brow, looking at Fei Fan who appeared outside the door and asked, “Oh right, Fei Fan, why have you returned?”
Fei Fan was somewhat stupefied. “What do you mean by ‘our disciple’? You’ve simultaneously accepted a disciple? Who was it that had such good fortune to be liked by all of you?”
Xue Ying smiled. “On the contrary, it was our good fortune to have accepted such an outstanding disciple. Initially, when she was being tested, her spirit energy had poured out incessantly, so we had taken a fancy to her because of her talent. Xu Kong and everybody also vied with each other to be her masters and as a result, we unanimously agreed to accept her altogether as our disciple.
“Wait…” Fei Fan scratched his head and frowned. “I seem to remember that you promised to leave the next genius for me to be my disciple.”
“Ah? Did we?” Ling Hai, who was originally being emotional due to the separation, had immediately recovered his senses. He gave a puzzled look at those beside him, “Who said this? Why don’t I remember it?”
Xu Kong and the rest looked up in the air, acting as if they suffered from memory loss.
“I also can’t remember. I don’t think I said something like that. Xue Ying, did you say that?”
“Nope, I completely don’t remember having said this before. Fei Fan, are you being delusional? How come we are unaware of this?”
