Chapter 246 The Swallow Heron Sect Back On Track
“This is…”
Cheng Xiu watched the three demon beasts descend. His legs trembled, and he half knelt on the ground.
Xu Ning waved his hand and protected Cheng Xiu from the auras.
“This is my new disciple, Cheng Xiu.”
Xu Ning said to Gray and the other two.
“These three are the guardian demon beasts protecting our sect.” Xu Ning said to Cheng Xiu, “You are my disciple, so you will definitely come into contact with them in the future.” “Greetings, seniors.”
Cheng Xiu stood up and bowed to Gray and the other two.
Cyan leaned over and circled around Cheng Xiu.
Cheng Xiu didn’t dare to move.
“Poor aptitude.”
Cyan said, “But he seems quite honest.”
When it said this, Cyan deliberately acted like a senior of a sect.
“Go away.”
Gray slapped Cyan away. Cyan gritted its teeth, but it didn’t dare to fight back.
Gray was now a dao realm demon beast, so it was not its opponent at all.
“You are my brother’s disciple, so you are half my disciple.”
Gray said, “When you advance to the void realm, I will give you a demon beast mount. I hope you can cultivate diligently.”
There were many void realm demon beasts in Gray’s Demon Beast Scroll, which could be controlled at will.
Thus, choosing a demon beast as a gift for Cheng Xiu was an easy task.
“Thank you, Senior!”
Cheng Xiu’s perception of Cyan was completely different from Gray’s.
Obviously, this white demon beast looked more like a senior.
“Cheng Xiu.”
Xu Ning said, “I have learned a little about you from Senior Brother Cheng. Although your martial arts aptitude is average, you are very resilient. I admire your character.” “As the core disciple of a sect master and my first disciple, I will definitely train you with all my heart. I hope you don’t disappoint me.” Before Cheng Xiu could say anything, Xu Ning took out a void realm secret technique, Tidal Fist, and some medicinal pills for cultivation.
“This Tidal Fist is the first void realm secret technique I practiced when I was in the mortal realm. I will teach it to you now.”
Xu Ning said, “There are also some pills that you can take according to the situation.”
“Thank you, Master.”
Cheng Xiu took them and thanked him.
He knew very well that following the Sect Master and obtaining more resources would be a huge advantage for him compared to what the others were getting. “From now on, come to me every three days.”
Xu Ning said, “If you have any questions about cultivation, I will solve them for you.”
“If I’m not in the sect, you can find Gray. Although it is a demon beast, it has been with me for a long time. It is not difficult for it to share with you some of its martial arts experience.”
“I will remember.”
Cheng Xiu quickly responded.
Afterwards, after arranging Cheng Xiu’s affairs, Xu Ning began to refine some more basic medicinal pills to provide a stronger guarantee to the mortal realm disciples of the sect.
At night.
Guanghe Canton.
Three people traveled together.
If Cheng Zengtao was here, he would recognize that these three were the three junior brothers and sisters he had called upon.
They were traveling together as they sat on the back of a high level void realm demon beast, intending to seek refuge with Cheng Zengtao.
“The rebuilding of the Swallow Heron Sect has really made us wait for too long!”
The ordinary-looking man in a green robe sighed. His name was Shao Xun.
“That’s right. I thought we wouldn’t be able to wait for the rebuilding of the Swallow Heron Sect, but I didn’t expect to suddenly receive news from Senior Brother Cheng.”
The person who spoke this time was a woman. She was dressed like a woman and had a gentle temperament. Her name was Tong Li. “The only unfortunate thing is that the sect master of the sect is not Senior Brother Cheng, but an outsider.”
The other buff man had a face full of beard, and he said in a regretful tone, “I think Senior Brother Cheng should be the sect master. After all, he is the personal disciple of the previous sect master.”
“Junior Brother Ou Wei, don’t say that again.”
Shao Xun’s expression turned serious. “The Sect Master was personally selected by Elder Wan Ye, so all of this naturally has Elder Wan Ye’s considerations. Even Senior Brother Cheng praised him in the letter he sent us, so what else can we say?”
“Yes, Senior Brother Shao is right.”
Tong Li said, “When we get there, don’t mention this again. Otherwise, even if the current Sect Master doesn’t show off his might, Senior Brother Cheng will chase you away. It is absolutely impossible for Senior Brother Cheng to allow you to create internal conflicts.”
Ou Wei looked embarrassed when he heard this. He scratched his head. “I know, I just said it casually.”
Although Ou Wei said this, he was obviously not convinced. But for the sake of the two, he stopped talking about this topic.
“I hope our new Sect Master is easy to get along with, and that he really wants to rebuild the Swallow Heron Sect.”
Tong Li said, “I still hope that one day, the Swallow Heron Sect will return to its former
glory.”
“I hope so too…”
Shao Xun said, “Senior Brother Cheng said in the letter that this new Sect Master is very young and has outstanding aptitude. This kind of genius must have his own pride. I don’t hope for him to be approachable, I just hope that he can live up to Elder Wan Ye’s expectations. As long as he can rebuild the sect, I will do anything for him.”
“Absolutely…”
Ou Wei nodded.
Although he was dissatisfied with the candidate for the sect master position, he hoped that the Swallow Heron Sect would improve in his lead.
Otherwise, Cheng Zengtao would not have summoned him.
At night.
They rode on flying demon beasts and traveled quickly.
…
Early morning Xu Ning opened his eyes in his loft.
Although Xu Ning no longer needed sleep, he would sit quietly for two hours every day. This way, he could relax his mind and maintain a better state of mind.
Soon, Xu Ning walked out of the loft. There were servants cleaning the ground and trimming the flowers and plants in the courtyard.
These servants were all sent by the Cheng family. They had signed a slave contract with the Cheng family, so they had to listen to their master.
“Greetings, Sect Master.”
The servants and maids greeted Xu Ning politely.
Most of them were ordinary people, some had not even practiced martial arts before.
“Mmm…”
Xu Ning nodded in return.
Although the response seemed cold, Xu Ning was a good master in the hearts of the servants and maids.
Not only did he improve the treatment of the servants and maids in the villa, but he also allowed them to practice martial arts with the
guards.
Xu Ning’s prestige and gentle way of treating people made the servants and guards respect him from the bottom of their hearts.
“Sect Master!”
Before leaving the villa, Xu Ning heard Cheng Zengtao’s excited voice.
Soon, Cheng Zengtao walked in with a smile on his face.
“The three fellow disciples I invited have arrived.”
Xu Ning was not surprised when he heard this. He only walked out of the loft because he had sensed the aura of three unfamiliar dao realm masters approaching.
“Take me to them.”
Xu Ning said. “Okay!”
Cheng Zengtao took the initiative to lead the way.
Cheng Zengtao was happy to see his old friends reuniting
Soon, Xu Ning saw Shao Xun, Tong Li, and Ou Wei in the parlor.
“Greetings, Sect Master!”
The three of them stood up at the same time when they saw Cheng Zengtao leading a young man in.
While greeting, they secretly observed their sect master.
“Sect Master, they are Shao Xun, Tong Li, and Ou Wei.”
Cheng Zengtao introduced the three of them one by one.
“Senior Brothers and Sister.”
Xu Ning did not put on airs and returned the gesture.
Xu Ning had already learned the names and background of these three people from Cheng Zengtao.
The three of them saw this and looked at each other.
They felt relieved. This Sect Master was easy to get along with.
Even Ou Wei, who was initially dissatisfied with the selection of sect master, acknowledged Xu Ning.
“Senior Brothers and Sister must have suffered rushing here.”
Xu Ning motioned for them to sit down and asked the servants to serve medicinal tea.
“Now that the Swallow Heron Sect has taken shape, I have appointed Senior Brother Cheng as the Deputy Sect Master. If the three of you don’t mind, how about becoming sect elders?”
Xu Ning went straight to the point.
These three were all dao realm masters.
Among them, Shao Xun and Ou Wei were both in the second stage of the dao realm, while Tong Li was in the first stage of the dao realm.
“We will follow Sect Master’s instructions.”
The three of them were extremely obedient.
They respected Xu Ning because of Xu Ning’s status as the sect master, but also because they noticed that Xu Ning’s strength was not simple.
Xu Ning deliberately did not hide his aura. In a sense, he was showing his strength and establishing his prestige. As the master of a sect, he could bring peace and harmony, but he also had to make people feel reverence.
“Senior Brothers and Senior Sister, Senior Brother Cheng is currently handling the chores in the sect. If you have any questions, just ask him.”
Xu Ning said.
The three of them glanced at Cheng Zengtao and realized that this Sect Master was not a controlling person.
Afterwards, Xu Ning chatted with the three about the future plans of the sect.
At the same time, Xu Ning was also observing the three of them.
Overall, Xu Ning was quite satisfied with the three of them.
“Okay, it’s rare for the four seniors to reunite today, so I won’t take up too much of your time. You guys haven’t gathered for a long time, so you must have many things to talk about, so I won’t stay any longer.”
Xu Ning made some small talk before leaving the loft.
“Senior Brother Cheng, this sect master is worth following.”
As soon as Xu Ning left, Shao Xun said, “Let’s not talk about this person’s strength, let’s talk about his attitude towards the Swallow Heron Sect. The future of the Swallow Heron Sect he talked about for us was obviously carefully thought through. This shows that he accepted the sect token not because of the resources of the Swallow Heron Sect, but because he really wants to shoulder the responsibility of the sect.”
“Yes, we feel the same too.”
Ou Wei and Tong Li responded. “How can Elder Wan Ye be wrong?”
Cheng Zengtao smiled when he heard this.
He was worried about Xu Ning’s relationship with the three of them, but now it seemed that everything was going well.
“Okay, since you are in the sect, don’t just stand around. Show me your skills and do what you have to do.”
Cheng Zengtao looked at the three of them.
“I will first cultivate a spiritual energy farm in this villa and plant spirit herbs and spirit plants.”
Shao Xun said.
“I will forge some weapons needed by mortal realm disciples for future use.” Ou Wei said.
“I will refine some medicinal pills for the sect. Although we don’t lack medicinal pills right now, I can’t just sit around and do nothing.”
Tong Li smiled.
Cheng Zengtao nodded in satisfaction.
The Swallow Heron Sect was starting to go back on the right track.
