MEIWITA Chapter 783: Reject Accepting a Master

Lou Mo Yu and Feng Yue Xin had returned to the Human Realm on the second day of the Seastar Banquet already.

When Lou Mu Yan and Ming Xiu left the Southern Sea, Lou Mu Bai actually stayed behind. He was going to cultivate in a secret place designated by the Hidden Emperor.

After returning to the Human Realm, Lou Mu Yan and Ming Xiu temporarily separated. She returned to the Mercenary Union, and Ming Xiu returned to the Ming Palace Royal Clan.

As soon as she returned to the Central Hall of the Mercenary Union, she was summoned by the Ancestor of the Mercenary Union.

The courtyard where the Mercenary Union’s Union Leader lived was filled with birds and flowers, and the environment was elegant.

In the courtyard, Union Leader Wu and the Ancestor of the Mercenary Union were sitting and brewing tea.

“Little girl’s here, come sit.” Seeing Lou Mu Yan approaching, Union Leader Wu smiled and pointed to an empty seat.

“Greetings Ancestor, greetings Union Leader.” Lou Mu Yan performed a junior’s salute to the two of them.

“We were constantly worried that you’d be in danger before. Everything’s well as long as you’ve returned.” After she sat down, the Union Leader poured her a cup of tea himself, “Where have you and Ming Xiu been during this time?”

“After we came out of the spatial storm rift, we accidentally entered the Sea Realm, then we were delayed in the Sea Realm for a period of time before rushing back.” Lou Mu Yan took the tea and thanked him.

Union Leader Wu also stopped asking about Lou Mu Yan and Ming Xiu’s situation in the sea race. There must’ve been some fortuitous opportunity for such a long delay.

“Little girl, the Realm Master wants to see you.” The Ancestor of the Mercenary Union smiled lovingly.

Lou Mu Yan looked at the Ancestor in surprise, “Realm Master?”

She had never heard of a ‘Realm Master’ before!

“The Realm Master is the most powerful person in our Human Realm. He has made many outstanding contributions to the Human Realm. It’s just that he has been in seclusion for the last thousand years, wanting to take that final step, and he has practically not shown his face, so very few people know about him.” The Ancestor explained.

Lou Mu Yan asked in befuddlement: “Then why does the Realm Master want to see me?”

“Actually, the Realm Master doesn’t just want to see you alone, Ming Xiu was also summoned by him.” Ancestor said with a smile: “Your performances in Cang’lan Secret Realm were very good, and you also killed the native king, preventing him from coming out to harm the human race, so you two can obtain corresponding rewards.”

“I see.” Lou Mu Yan nodded.

“This should be a great fortuitous opportunity, you and Ming Xiu should grasp it well.” The Ancestor smiled and said no more on this topic, as he asked: “How are your preparations for the Foreign Battlefield?”

“My cultivation base and specialisations have improved greatly, and it shouldn’t be difficult to protect my life after entering the Foreign Battlefield.” Lou Mu Yan replied.

“Protecting your life in the Foreign Battlefield is the most important prerequisite.” The elderly man smiled and continued to ask: “How much information do you know about the Foreign Battlefield?”

Lou Mu Yan shook her head helplessly and said: “Actually, I only know that once the Foreign Battlefield opens, the talented young geniuses in Guang’ling World would be automatically teleported into the Battlefield. I don’t know anything else.”

She also asked Ming Xiu in private, but Ming Xiu didn’t know much about the Foreign Battlefield either. It was said that the specific information on it wouldn’t be announced until right before entering the Foreign Battlefield.

“The Realm Master knows the most about the Foreign Battlefield, he will surely reveal the details to you when he meets you two.”

The Ancestor asked Lou Mu Yan a few more questions, then said: “You can go back to rest, this old man will take you to see the Realm Master in two days.”

“Yes.”

After Lou Mu Yan returned to the palace where she lived, she didn’t go into seclusion immediately. If there were visitors, she received them one by one, and also heard from Su Jin and the others that many people were using as much time as possible going into seclusion to prepare for the opening of the Foreign Battlefield.

On the entire Guang’ling World, many Sword Masters who possessed Heaven Elemental Realm strength and Heaven Elemental Realm cultivation base were rather conflicted in their hearts.

They wanted to be selected by the Laws and directly sent to the Foreign Battlefield, which meant that their talent and strength had been greatly affirmed.

But on the other hand, they were also worried that they’d be teleported into the Foreign Battlefield, because the death rate inside was too high. There was not even a fifty percent chance of returning alive.

The closer the time to the opening of the Foreign Battlefield was, the stronger the cultivation atmosphere of the entire Mercenary Union.

Two days later, Lou Mu Yan followed the Ancestor to meet the Realm Master.

The meeting place was in a cave deep at the bottom of a lake.

When they arrived, Emperor Ming and Ming Xiu were already sitting in the cave, and sitting above them was a man who appeared in his twenties, exuding a daunting and fierce aura.

The Ancestor of the Mercenary Union smiled and greeted the person above: “Greetings, Realm Master.”

Lou Mu Yan saluted the Realm Master, “Greetings, Realm Master.”

“No need for formalities.” The Realm Master’s voice was deep and restrained, and he said calmly: “Take a seat.”

Lou Mu Yan then greeted Emperor Ming, “Greetings, Emperor Ming!”

“Haha, you don’t have to be polite with zhen, little girl.” Emperor Ming still rather liked Lou Mu Yan, “You’re going to change your way of address, and call zhen Emperor Father like the stinky brat soon.”

It wasn’t appropriate for Lou Mu Yan to reply to that, so she raised her eyes to exchange a look with Ming Xiu, and they smiled tacitly.

“You’ve been summoned here today mainly because there are two things to be said.” The Realm Master cultivated ice attribute methods, so his temperament was relatively cold.

“Realm Master, please do tell.” Lou Mu Yan and Ming Xiu said respectfully.

The Realm Master looked at the two with gentle eyes and said: “You have both performed very well in Cang’lan Secret realm. Now there are two kinds of rewards, but you can only choose one.

“One is a reward based on contributions of the Human Realm Alliance. There will be spiritual stones and spiritual items, as well as one high-quality divine tool; the second is that you can take me as Master and become my direct disciples.”

After the Realm Master finished speaking, he stopped talking and waited for the two to choose.

Lou Mu Yan was stunned for a moment. She finally understood what the great fortuitous opportunity that the Ancestor of the Mercenary Union was talking about was.

In fact, if she chose him to be her Master, the first reward was practically redundant—at least, it was very easy for a Realm Master to bestow a high-quality divine tool based on his level.

Lou Mu Yan didn’t hesitate to speak first: “Realm Master, this Junior chooses the first reward.”

Hearing her words, Emperor Ming and the Ancestor of the Mercenary Union were shocked.

It was a surprise that she turned down such an opportunity right in front of her.

If it were someone else, they’d definitely choose the second reward without hesitation.

The Realm Master also obviously didn’t expect that Lou Mu Yan would refuse the reward of a disciple, but he wasn’t angry. He asked with a meaningful arc on his lips: “Little girl, can you tell me why you didn’t choose the second option?”

With an apologetic expression, Lou Mu Yan replied respectfully: “This Junior formally became the direct disciple of Old Man Tian Xuan on Tian’ling Continent, so only the first reward can be chosen.”

What she said was very tactful, but generally speaking, it meant that she already had a Master and had no intention of asking anyone else to become her Master.

After hearing what she said, except for Ming Xiu who had already expected it, the other three had their own thoughts.

The Ancestor of the Mercenary Union revealed pity in his eyes. He actually hoped that Lou Mu Yan would accept the Realm Master as her Master. It would be beneficial to the Union if she could walk further in the future, but her reason also made him feel more fondness towards her temperament.

What the Mercenary Union needed were people who prioritised relationships and righteousness.

Not only did Emperor Ming not feel that Lou Mu Yan didn’t know what she was worth, but on the contrary, he appreciated her character even more.

Under such temptation, she was still able to decisively stick to her heart and value relationships and righteousness—his son’s vision was indeed very good.
