In front of the Hundred Refinements Great Hall.
Not long after Dao Lord Scarlet Star entered, he walked out dejectedly and looked up at Su Zimo with a resentful expression.
Su Zimo did not know what happened in the hall and felt his hair stand on end when Dao Lord Scarlet Star looked at him like that.
"Sigh."
Dao Lord Scarlet Star sighed internally. At the thought of his grandmaster's reprimand, he could only come before Su Zimo obediently.
Under the gazes of Nangong Ling and the other two disciples, he bowed slightly with the etiquette of a junior and took a deep breath. "Greetings, Little Uncle-Master, Scarlet Star."
After saying that, Dao Lord Scarlet Star felt his cheeks burn and wanted nothing more than to find a hole to hide in.
Although he did not raise his head, he could guess the expressions of Nangong Ling and the other two!
Su Zimo was smart.
On second thought, he guessed that Dao Lord Scarlet Star must have been taught a lesson by Hokkaidōjin in the hall.
Su Zimo did not care much about seniority.
Furthermore, he was young and had a low cultivation realm. Now that he had gained such a huge advantage, he felt embarrassed.
Su Zimo hurried forward and helped Dao Lord Scarlet Star up. "There's no need for that. If you don't mind, senior, you can just call me by my name."
"That won't do."
Dao Lord Scarlet Star shook his head.
Although he was unwilling and indignant from the bottom of his heart, he and the sect valued seniority and etiquette greatly and could not break the rules.
Nangong Ling and the other two were at a loss as they listened to the conversation in a daze.
Why did their master have to bow to Mo Ling and address him as Uncle-Master in the blink of an eye?
If they were to follow seniority, wouldn't they have to address Mo Ling as Uncle-Master?
"Master, master!"
Ru Xuan hurried over and could not help but ask, "What's going on? Isn't Mo Ling your junior brother? Why did he suddenly become your Uncle-Master?"
Feeling aggrieved, Dao Lord Scarlet Star glared and hollered, "Why do you have so many questions? Move aside!"
Then, he called out to Ru Xuan and the other two and said in a deep voice, "Listen up, you have to change your address in the future. This is your Granduncle-Master!"
"Our seniority has dropped again …"
Nangong Ling and the other two looked at each other and cursed in their hearts. Without much hesitation, they bowed to Su Zimo and shouted, "Greetings, Martial Granduncle!"
Martial Uncle and Martial Granduncle were just names to them. They didn't care.
This was because, in their hearts, they had already accepted Su Zimo.
On the other hand, Dao Lord Scarlet Star stood at the side, brooding.
Dao Lord Scarlet Star swept his gaze and saw that Dao Lord White Flames was about to take the opportunity to escape. He hurried forward and pulled him over.
"Don't run away either. We are of the same generation, so you have to call me Martial Uncle!"
Dao Lord Scarlet Star felt a little better after finding a companion and had a gloating expression on his face.
Dao Lord White Flames was the Patriarch of Hundred Refinement Sect and had a noble status. It was even harder for him to address him as Martial Uncle.
"Little Uncle-Master,"
Forced by the situation, he could only brace himself and shout.
"Eh?"
Right then, Ru Xuan came over and pretended to be confused. "Uncle-Master is Uncle-Master. What's Little Uncle-Master? How is he young? "
Dao Lord Scarlet Star blushed.
That was what he had reprimanded Ru Xuan and the other two earlier on. To think that the tables would turn and Ru Xuan would turn around to mock them.
"What's wrong with being young?"
Dao Lord Scarlet Star straightened his neck and argued with a red face, "He's only more than a hundred years old and is young to begin with. There's nothing wrong with us calling him Little Uncle-Master!"
In his heart, the word 'young' seemed to be the last bit of dignity he could fight for.
Su Zimo smiled. "Seniors, there's no need for that. If there's anyone else around, you can just call me by my name."
This could be considered as giving Dao Lord Scarlet Star and the other two a way out.
Otherwise, as the master of a sect, he would have to bow to Genying Zhenjun who was more than a hundred years old in front of so many disciples. That was something that he could not bring himself to say.
"Thank you, Little Uncle-Master."
Dao Lord Scarlet Star smiled embarrassedly and agreed.
"If there's nothing else, I'll head back first."
Su Zimo bade farewell and turned to leave.
If he stayed here, it would only add to the awkwardness.
Nangong Ling and the other two bowed and bade farewell as well.
Dao Lord Scarlet Star and Dao Lord White Flames stood at the entrance of the hall and exchanged glances.
What happened early in the morning was truly magical.
For some reason, there was an Uncle-Master between the two of them …
"I'm sure you guys are indignant about acknowledging this Uncle-Master,"
Right then, Hokkaidōjin's voice sounded in their minds.
"I wouldn't dare,"
Dao Lord Scarlet Star shook his head hurriedly, afraid that he would be taught a lesson by Hokkaidōjin again.
Dao Lord White Flames added, "That's nothing. Since he's your disciple, according to seniority, he's our Uncle-Master."
Hokkaidōjin laughed. "You said that you wouldn't dare. In other words, you're truly indignant."
Dao Lord Scarlet Star did not say anything in tacit agreement.
Hokkaidōjin did not reprimand him anymore. Instead, he asked, "Do you guys think that Nangong Ling and the other two were really lucky to be able to return unscathed this time round? They bumped into some peerless expert who saved them and left without even leaving his name?"
"Then, what's going on?"
Dao Lord Scarlet Star was stunned for a moment before grinning. "Grandmaster, are you going to say that Mo Ling … Little Uncle-Master was the one who saved them?"
"He's Genying Zhenjun. Even if he's strong and can suppress paragons on the Phenomenon Ranking, can he fight against the Dharma Daojun?"
Dao Lord White Flames nodded as well, clearly not believing that Su Zimo was the one who did it.
This was simply a fantasy story!
Hokkaidōjin said indifferently, "Although I don't know the exact situation, this matter must have something to do with Mo Ling!"
If there was anyone in Tianhuang Mainland who understood Su Zimo's abilities the best, it would be him.
Hokkaidōjin was definitely one of them!
Dao Lord Scarlet Star and Dao Lord White Flames exchanged glances. Although they did not refute, they did not think much of it.
Hokkaidōjin continued, "Perhaps, if the two of you know his true identity, your impression of him will change. Perhaps, you'll believe me. "
The two Dao Lords' hearts skipped a beat.
Dao Lord Scarlet Star asked, "Grandmaster, who is Mo Ling's true identity?"
"I can't say for now,"
Hokkaidōjin said in a deep voice, "However, I'm guessing that given his character, it won't be long before his identity is exposed!"
Upon hearing Hokkaidōjin's words, Dao Lord Scarlet Star and Dao Lord White Flames were even more curious.
What sort of identity could Genying Zhenjun have for Hokkaidōjin to value him so highly?
Hokkaidōjin sighed faintly and said meaningfully, "One day, you'll realize that you've taken advantage of him by acknowledging him as your Uncle-Master today!"
"Ah?
Dao Lord Scarlet Star and Dao Lord White Flames were even more confused.
Why was it getting more and more ridiculous?
Hokkaidōjin said, "Go ahead and prepare for the Thousand Crane Tea Party in a month's time. I'm almost done preparing the spirit materials for my Bone Tempering Body. After the tea party, I'll prepare to reconstruct my body! "
Dao Lord Scarlet Star and Dao Lord White Flames acknowledged and left.
Before they could go far, Hokkaidōjin's voice sounded once more, "By the way, the book that Mo Ling was reading is not some random book. It's one of the three ancient sword arts, the Heaven Slaying Sword Art!"
"Little Huzi, you're too arrogant. Aren't you afraid of biting your tongue?"
"Heaven Slaying Sword Art!"
Dao Lord Scarlet Star shuddered and stood alone in the wind.
