Does anyone actually Believes That My Master Is A Mortal?

Chapter 71 The Regretful Shopkeeper

Sect Master Xuanqing left.

He left with a heart full of grievances.

Before leaving, he even used a Memory Stone.

He made Ye Luo speak towards the Memory Stone, saying that Sect Master Xuanqing was not a freeloader.

Only after obtaining that Memory Stone did Sect Master Xuanqing leave.

Inside the Xianzui Inn, on the second floor.

On a table.

The shopkeeper had set out a table full of delicacies, wanting to treat Ye Luo.

But apparently, Ye Luo was not someone with the surname Chu.

He simply didn't have the face to eat and drink for free.

He could only sit there, towering and still.

He didn't speak or make any moves.

Suddenly, the atmosphere became somewhat stiff.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper could only give an awkward smile, pretending to look toward the main entrance while trying to find a topic to ease the mood.

"Sir, do you think that the Sect Master of Tianqing Sect will really be able to solve the issue after he returns?" the shopkeeper began.

Upon hearing this,

Ye Luo, who was sitting, turned his head slightly, looking towards the first-floor entrance.

Sect Master Xuanqing was worried that the members of Tianqing Sect would not accept their sect master because of this incident.

That was why before leaving, he found Ye Luo to record a video message to be stored in the Memory Stone.

Ye Luo thought about it for a moment and narrowed his eyes.

"It should be solvable. Doesn't he have the Memory Stone? That should be enough to prove his innocence," Ye Luo said slowly.

Experience tales at empire

"I feel like the Memory Stone might be too useless, and it might even have the opposite effect," the shopkeeper muttered to himself.

"What do you mean by that?" Ye Luo raised an eyebrow and looked at the shopkeeper, asking indifferently.

A flattering smile appeared on the shopkeeper's face.

He passed a cup of tea to Ye Luo.

Then he continued to speak.

"I think it would be better if the Sect Master of Tianqing Sect went back directly. Now, taking back that Memory Stone, according to what you said, sir, you were imposing upon Tianqing Sect. In the eyes of the people from Tianqing Sect, you must appear very commanding."

"But just now, your tone was so gentle, sir. I feel like it might have the opposite effect. Could the people of Tianqing Sect think that their sect master compensated you, and then you let your tone become gentler?"

"Also, calling it a misunderstanding, wouldn't that be too hasty?" the shopkeeper rambled on.

Listeting to these words, Ye Luo was taken aback for a moment.

It seemed...

Quite reasonable, actually.

He had smashed the sect,

Almost chopping down their Supreme Elder too.

Then in front of everyone,

He forcibly took away their sect master.

Now he left behind a Memory Stone, speaking gently, calling it a misunderstanding.

That...

Did indeed seem likely to prompt rampant speculation.

It was easy for people to assume that Sect Master Xuanqing offered acceptable compensation, which resulted in the Memory Stone.

Ye Luo fell silent for a moment.

Should he chase after him to help explain?

Perhaps not.

He felt that it would only make things worse.

It was better to let Sect Master Xuanqing handle it himself.

But turning to another matter,

The shopkeeper seemed to be quite clever.

Quite fitting for a mortal friend of the Respected Master in the mundane world.

He just didn't know how the Respected Master became acquainted with this mortal shopkeeper.

At this thought, a flicker of curiosity crossed Ye Luo's eyes.

"Regarding this matter, I believe Sect Master Xuanqing should be able to handle it appropriately," he said.

"However, on another note, I am quite curious as to how my Respected Master came to know you, Mr. Shopkeeper?"

"Please don't misunderstand, Mr. Shopkeeper. I'm simply curious about the Respected Master's past," Ye Luo said.

He even specifically added a reminder,

Fearing that the shopkeeper might misconstrue something.

If the shopkeeper were to blabber something inappropriate in front of the Respected Master, affecting his standing in the Respected Master's eyes, what then?

Well, he felt that his image in the Respected Master's mind was tied to his chances of success in becoming the Sect Master of Daoless Sect!

The shopkeeper sitting beside him gave a bitter smile, not knowing what to say.

Could he say that his Respected Master was actually that freeloader?

Who would have known that your Respected Master is actually a true big shot.

Your Respected Master even claimed to be at the Nascent Soul Realm…

Can someone at the Nascent Soul Realm teach such a disciple?

The shopkeeper had just assumed Chu Yuan was masking his cultivation level.

Watching Ye Luo in front of him with a curious expression.

The shopkeeper began to ponder over the lines he should respond with.

"There's nothing curious about it, we just met during leisure and merriment."

"My Respected Master certainly loves, cough cough, My Respected Master really likes roaming the mundane world, meeting me among the mortals and taking me as an old friend."

"A few days ago I joked with my Respected Master, and to my surprise he took it seriously, which led to the affair with the Tianqing Sect."

"By the way, Sir, may I ask what exactly my Respected Master's realm is? He told me he was at the Nascent Soul Realm, but I don't feel like that's quite right."

The shopkeeper's eyes flashed with cunning as he inquired.

"Didn't my Respected Master tell you? Then I shouldn't reveal it either."

Ye Luo hesitated for a moment, not daring to reveal it.

"It's okay, Sir, just tell me, I won't mention it to the Respected Master."

The shopkeeper coaxed.

"This… this really isn't okay."

Ye Luo still chose to refuse.

"How about this, I'll guess on my own, and if I'm correct, you give me a hint?"

The shopkeeper had no choice but to resort to this method.

As soon as he said this.

Ye Luo hesitated a bit but didn't refuse outright.

After all, he hadn't said a word.

The shopkeeper was guessing on his own.

Moreover, this shopkeeper was an old friend of his Respected Master.

It should be fine.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper beside him was overjoyed.

He began his attempts to guess.

"So, Sir, should I start guessing?"

"My Respected Master, could he be in the Initial Phase of the Divinity Transformation Realm?"

The shopkeeper suggested cautiously.

Phew!

Ye Luo almost laughed out loud upon hearing this and shook his head.

The Initial Phase of the Divinity Transformation Realm? Such rubbish, isn't even fit to carry the shoes for his Respected Master.

"Then, is he in the Middle Phase of the Divinity Transformation Realm?"

Seeing Ye Luo shake his head, the shopkeeper made another guess.

"Be more daring."

Ye Luo shook his head again and gave a hint.

"Could it be the Late Phase of the Divinity Transformation Realm!"

Ye Luo shook his head.

"Don't tell me, Half-Step Tribulation Transcendence?!!"

Ye Luo shook his head.

"It can't possibly be a genuine Early Phase of the Tribulation Transcending Realm powerhouse, can it!!"

Ye Luo continued shaking his head.

The shopkeeper was going mad.

This wasn't because he had a lack of courage.

To surpass even the Early Phase of the Tribulation Transcending Realm.

What sort of being would that be?

Such a being, getting involved in some freeloading?

And he had dined with such a being?

Ye Luo, seeing the state of the shopkeeper, didn't have the heart to keep it going.

"Enough, no more guessing, my Respected Master should be at the Peak of the Tribulation Transcending Realm, even half a step into Ascension!"

Ye Luo spoke leisurely.

Boom!!!

The shopkeeper suddenly stiffened, his eyes bulging wide.

This…

This…

This…

Is this true?!

Is he not dreaming?

Suddenly, the shopkeeper remembered something.

He recalled that Mr. Chu had previously suggested that he open a branch under the Sect's mountain.

He declined it?!!

He had rejected a being at the Peak of the Tribulation Transcending Realm, on the verge of half-step Ascension?!!

The shopkeeper's eyes rolled back, and he fainted on the spot.
