Deputy Sect Leader?
Lu An was shocked. It was not because the other party's position was too high, but it was not as high as he thought.
He thought that only the Sect Leader was a Level 6 Heavenly Master in Dacheng Sky Mountain. If the Deputy Sect Leader was also a Level 6 Heavenly Master, then he would have to re-evaluate the strength of Dacheng Sky Mountain.
Lu An bowed and said politely, "Disciple Lu An greets the Deputy Sect Leader."
"Haha." The middle-aged man saw Lu An's appearance and could not help but laugh. "Of course, I'm not qualified to be the Deputy Sect Leader. I don't care about the affairs of the sect. It's just an idle position."
As he spoke, the middle aged man sized Lu An up and asked, "On the other hand, why have you come to this place? I just saw you swim under the water. Are you here to swim? "
"…"
After thinking about it, Lu An told the middle-aged man most of the facts. After hearing Lu An's words, the middle-aged man said with some surprise, "You're very powerful to be able to escape from three Level 3 Mystical Beasts!"
"It's luck." Lu An said politely. "Then I won't disturb the Sect Leader from fishing. I'll take my leave first."
Lu An's words stunned the middle-aged man. He thought that his disciple would be very excited to see him, or even feel that it was an opportunity. But why did this kid have such an attitude? He even felt like he wanted to leave quickly?
Looking at the youth who was waiting for his reply, the middle-aged man had already sized him up. He was very clear about Lu An's age and strength. A 13-year-old Level 2 Intermediate was enough to surprise him.
"You should be cultivating in the Inner Peak." The middle-aged man did not let Lu An leave. He asked, "Who's your Master?"
"Sect Leader, it's Elder Wu Chengshan." Lu An said.
"Oh, him." The middle-aged man wanted to say something, but found that Lu An's expression was calm. Although he did not resist, he did not seem to be interested in listening. After thinking about it, he changed his words. "The forest ahead is not as calm as Mount Sanhu. There might be Level 4 Mystical Beasts rushing out. Can you handle it?"
Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Lu An was slightly startled. He frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "I'll be careful."
"Forget it. No matter what, I'm still a Vice Sect Leader. I still have to fulfill my responsibilities." The middle-aged man smiled. "Then I'll personally send you back to the Inner Peak."
After he finished speaking, the middle-aged man shouted loudly. Immediately, a wild goose flew over from the distance. This wild goose's body was even bigger than Tong Tianshui's, causing Lu An's heart to tremble.
"Come up!" The middle-aged man said, "I'll send you back. Don't let your fellow disciples wait too long."
Seeing this, Lu An thought for a moment and immediately said, "Yes, Sect Master."
After he finished speaking, he followed behind the middle-aged man and jumped onto the back of the wild goose, standing very firmly.
Then, the wild goose flapped its wings and soared into the sky. This wild goose was worthy of being called a flying beast. Its speed was very fast. In just a short while, it had flown over three mountains.
As the wild goose took the shortest route, there was no need for it to take any detours. Soon, the Inner Peak appeared in front of Lu An. Looking at the Inner Peak, which was taller than the surrounding mountains, Lu An heaved a sigh of relief that he could return safely.
The wild goose descended from the sky and landed rapidly on the Inner Peak. Naturally, the middle-aged man was fine. However, Lu An could not stand steadily due to the sudden stop and almost fell off the back of the wild goose.
Bang!
At the moment of landing, Lu An could not avoid being flung off the back of the wild goose. Fortunately, he was agile enough to forcefully change his position in the air and stand steadily on the ground.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.
However, just as Lu An was flung off, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him. This figure was none other than Wu Chengshan!
At this moment, Wu Chengshan had just returned from Mount Sanhu. He had searched almost the entire Mount Sanhu but could not find Lu An. Just as he was about to return gloomily, he suddenly saw Lu An. How could his body not tremble?
"Lu An, how are you?" Wu Chengshan immediately came to Lu An's side and asked.
Seeing his master appear in front of him, Lu An was also a little surprised. However, he quickly said, "I'm fine. Thank you for sending me back, Sect Master."
Hearing Lu An's words, Wu Chengshan raised his head and looked at the middle-aged man standing on the wild goose in the distance.
It would have been better if he did not look. Instead, Wu Chengshan frowned. The change in his expression shocked Lu An.
"Why are you back?" Wu Chengshan's words were not polite at all as he questioned loudly.
"Hey, no matter what, I'm still the Deputy Sect Master. Can't you be more polite to me?" The middle-aged man was immediately displeased and protested loudly.
"Deputy Sect Master? You know that you're the Deputy Sect Master? " Wu Chengshan snorted coldly. "Ever since you became an Elder, have you done anything for the Dacheng Sky Mountain?"
"Nothing major has happened." The middle-aged man smiled and said, "There's no need for me to do anything."
"What about the previous rebellion? The scale of this rebellion was huge. Did you contribute anything? "Wu Chengshan questioned loudly again.
"Well … I wasn't in the Tiancheng Country at that time. When I came back and found out about the rebellion, they were almost wiped out by you." The middle-aged man chuckled and said, "You can't blame me for that."
"Nonsense!" Wu Chengshan said with a face full of resentment, "I really don't know what use you have in the Dacheng Sky Mountain!"
After saying that, Wu Chengshan turned around and left, not wanting to look at this person at all.
At this time, Lu An was left in a daze. When he saw Wu Chengshan leave, he immediately bowed to the middle-aged man and said, "Thank you for sending me back, Sect Master. I'll take my leave first."
After saying that, Lu An turned around and followed Wu Chengshan's footsteps.
When Lu An returned to the palace with Wu Chengshan, all the disciples had not left and were waiting in the palace. When they saw Wu Chengshan return with Lu An, they immediately stood up excitedly!
"Lu An, you're fine!" Even Gongye Qingshan looked at Lu An and said loudly, as if he couldn't believe his eyes.
"You're still alive. We all thought you were going to die inside!"
"It's good that you're fine. It's good that you're fine!"
Hearing the rejoicing tone of the people around him, Lu An also smiled and said, "Senior Brothers and Sisters, thank you for your concern."
Wu Chengshan didn't say anything. After saying a few simple words, he left in a hurry. However, these disciples were not stupid. Anyone could see that their Master was in a bad mood.
After Wu Chengshan left, the people on the side quickly surrounded Lu An and said a few words of concern to Lu An. Someone asked, "Master is obviously angry. What happened?"
"Yes, Master is rarely angry." Shang Gong, who was beside him, was also very concerned and asked, "Lu An, did you offend Master?"
"It's not me …" Lu An smiled bitterly. After thinking about it, he roughly explained what had just happened.
Upon hearing Lu An's words, everyone was enlightened. This time, it was Lu An who didn't quite understand and asked, "Is there any relationship between the Deputy Sect Leader and Master?"
Upon hearing Lu An's question, the surrounding disciples looked at each other. Shang Gong sighed and said, "If we're talking about a relationship, then it's a big one. I heard that Master and the Deputy Sect Leader entered the Dacheng Sky Mountain on the same day. "
"What?" Lu An was shocked.
"Let's start from the beginning. The Deputy Sect Leader's name is Gao Fei. He entered the Dacheng Sky Mountain on the same day as Master. I don't know the specifics. It's very likely that the two of them came from the same academy and are about the same age, "Shang Gong said.
Upon hearing Shang Gong's words, Lu An was stunned again. Wu Chengshan looked to be about 50 years old. His real age was probably much higher. However, Gao Fei looked less than 40 years old. How could they have entered the Dacheng Sky Mountain in the same year?
Shang Gong seemed to have seen through Lu An's doubts and said, "We were a little confused at first, but it's said that the benefits of being a level-six Celestial Master can give the body a second chance."
"Continue. Back then, after Master and the Deputy Sect Leader entered the Dacheng Sky Mountain, they were both very talented. That's why they came to where they are today. However, the Deputy Sect Leader was always ahead of Master. Four years ago, the Deputy Sect Leader broke through the biggest obstacle of becoming a Celestial Master and became a level-six Celestial Master. "
"The reason Master doesn't like the Deputy Sect Leader is very simple. The Deputy Sect Leader has never done anything meaningful to the Dacheng Sky Mountain in the past few decades. Whenever he could, he would escape and shirk responsibility. This made Master very unhappy. Therefore, even though the other party has become the Deputy Sect Leader, Master is not polite. "
After hearing Shang Gong's explanation, Lu An nodded slightly. However, it was probably because the two of them had a close relationship that Wu Chengshan dared to speak to the Deputy Sect Leader in such a manner.
At that thought, Lu An asked the question he was most concerned about. "Senior Brother Shang, how many level-six Celestial Masters are there in the Dacheng Sky Mountain?"
Shang Gong was stunned when he heard that. Then, he laughed bitterly and said, "There are only two. One is the Sect Leader and the other is the Deputy Sect Leader. This is already enough. How much more do you want? If the Deputy Sect Leader was not lazy and did not set up a sect elsewhere, the Dacheng Sky Mountain would be the same as other places. There would only be one level-six Celestial Master. "
