"Thirteenth Master?" Seeing Ling Dong standing there in a daze, the well-dressed middle-aged man with a respectful expression softly called out, "Thirteenth master? Did something happen while you were reporting in the Constellation Heavenly Lord's residence? "
"Oh … it's nothing!" Ling Dong shook his head gently. The middle-aged man in front of him should be from the Dongluo Sect.
The Dongluo Sect knew that You Qianjun would be coming to the Constellation Heavenly Lord's residence during this period of time, so they'd sent people here to welcome him. As for why he was called Thirteenth Master, Ling Dong was surprised that he was the thirteenth master. Everything else was acceptable.
Ling Dong's identity as Celestial Official You Qianjun was very special in the Dongluo Sect. He was an illegitimate child. Of course, You Qianjun's father was the sect master of the Dongluo Sect's Wood Elemental Realm branch, so he'd long been recognized by the sect.
The sect master of the Wood Elemental Realm branch was named You Tiansheng! This was all information that Ling Dong had obtained from the Dongluo Sect's elder, Kong Da, after he'd killed him and searched his soul. When he'd first obtained this information, Ling Dong had had an extremely bad premonition!
How terrifying was it to pretend to be someone else's son in front of his father?
After being recognized by the sect, You Qianjun's reputation as an illegitimate child didn't fade away. Perhaps it was because his children doted on him, but You Qianjun was naturally doted on. In addition, You Qianjun's talent was extremely high, and his cultivation speed was extremely fast. In just a few short decades, his cultivation had caught up to his elder brothers who'd despised him greatly.
Of course, Sect Master You Tiansheng had also favored You Qianjun in terms of cultivation resources.
Because of this, Sect Master You Tiansheng doted on him even more, which made You Qianjun's elder brothers even more jealous. Because of this, You Qianjun's status as a Celestial Official of the Heavenly Dipper Continent, which was equivalent to the king of a realm, had a lot to do with his identity as an illegitimate child!
As for the middle-aged man in front of Ling Dong, Ling Dong also recalled some clues. This person used to take care of Celestial Official You Qianjun and was in charge of some of Celestial Official You Qianjun's affairs. You Qianjun called this person Uncle Yu.
Ling Dong wasn't too worried about this person. According to the memories he had acquired from the Soulsearch, although Uncle Yu was close to You Qianjun, he wasn't close to him. Because of his status as an illegitimate son, You Qianjun instinctively rejected anyone who tried to get close to him.
However, what Ling Dong was worried about was the word 'madam' that the middle-aged man in front of him had mentioned.
In the memories that Ling Dong obtained from searching You Qianjun and Kong Da's souls, there was only information about the Ninth Madam. The Ninth Madame's figure and appearance aside, the important thing was that she was the birth mother of the Celestial Official You Qianjun, whom Ling Dong had impersonated.
If the 'Madam' that Uncle Yu was talking about was Star Official You Qianjun's birth mother, then things would be terrible. Just thinking about this possibility made Ling Dong's scalp tingle.
If he had to find the person who understood a man the best, then that person would definitely be the man's mother.
If Ling Dong went to see You Qianjun's birth mother, the Ninth Madam, Ling Dong reckoned that the possibility of him being exposed was even higher than meeting the Sect Master of the Dongluo Sect, You Qiansheng.
However, Uncle Yu's use of the word 'Madam' was ambiguous. You Qianjun was already in his seventies or eighties, although this age was considered extremely young among martialists. However, he should already have a wife.
The 'Madam' that Uncle Yu was referring to was probably You Qianjun's wife. This was also an extremely frightening matter. When it came to understanding a man, his mother and wife were definitely at the forefront.
No matter which 'Madam' that Uncle Yu was referring to, Ling Dong would face an unprecedented danger!
"Uncle Yu, where are my father and mother? Have they been well all these years?" After thinking for a while, Ling Dong asked this question tentatively.
"Thirteenth Master, the Sect Master and Madam are doing very well. They just miss you very much. Madam, in particular, talks about you every day. She sent me over a long time ago. I have been waiting outside the door for three months! "Uncle Yu replied respectfully.
"So You Qianjun's mother actually sent you over. This means that I have to meet You Qianjun's mother first. This is going to be troublesome!" Even though he had used words to sound out the Madam's identity, it had only made the danger more apparent. Ling Dong still didn't have any way to resolve this problem.
Pretending to be her son in front of a mother was superfluous. Perhaps a simple greeting or a small action would reveal a flaw.
"That's good. 10 years have passed in the blink of an eye. I've been missing you very much. Time really flies!" Ling Dong lamented.
Uncle Yu didn't waste any more words. He chuckled and a Cloud-Piercing Boat appeared in his hands. "Thirteenth Master, Madam specially asked for this Cloud-Piercing Boat so that she could see you faster. She asked this old servant to come and receive you!"
As he spoke, Uncle Yu gestured for Ling Dong to board.
When he saw this precious Cloud-Piercing Boat, Ling Dong wasn't happy at all. Instead, he was worried sick at heart. The deeper the relationship between a mother and son, the easier it was to be exposed.
In the Dongluo Sect's headquarters, being exposed was equivalent to death. The instant he boarded the Cloud-Piercing Boat, Ling Dong felt an impulse to kill Uncle Yu and flee.
However, in the end, Ling Dong still boarded the Cloud-Piercing Boat with steady steps. This was because Ling Dong had rushed forward. If he took the risk and went to the Dongluo Sect, he might have a chance of surviving this calamity.
However, if he didn't flee, it would immediately cause a huge uproar in the Dongluo Sect. Perhaps Ling Dong would be able to escape for a while and preserve his life. However, the True Dipper Sect of the Heavenly Dipper Continent and the Ling family would probably be massacred.
A man didn't just have a head on his shoulders. He also had a family and a responsibility. As a man, he had the responsibility to protect his family!
"Uncle Yu, I've just comprehended something from the Minor Sky Star Hall. I need some time to think about it. Just call me when we're home!" After entering the Cloud-Piercing Boat, Ling Dong sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes to meditate.
"Oh, Thirteenth Master, don't worry!" Uncle Yu replied happily.
Ling Dong had his reasons for thinking this way. As the saying went, the more you do, the more mistakes you make. The less you do, the less you make mistakes. In front of these people who were extremely familiar with You Qianjun, Ling Dong's overall guiding principle was to speak less and act less and make fewer mistakes!
The Cloud-Piercing Boat flew at an extremely fast speed. It took roughly four to five days to reach the Dongluo Sect. They arrived at a valley surrounded by mountains that looked like a compass.
From the information that Ling Dong had obtained, he knew that the valley where the Dongluo Sect was located was called the Star Net Valley. The Kui Star Realm martial artists had spent a lot of effort to build it. The formation was naturally formed. The scattered Xing Luo Valley itself contained an extremely strong protective formation.
After stepping out of the Cloud-Piercing Boat, Ling Dong looked down at the Dongluo Sect's headquarters, which was several hundred miles in radius. He took a deep breath and thought to himself, "Whether I live or die, it all depends on this! After I pass this trial, give me another ten years. Ten years is enough for me to do a lot of things! "
"What's wrong, Thirteenth Master? Are you feeling a little homesick?" Uncle Yu asked with a smile when he saw that Ling Dong's expression was a little nervous.
Ling Dong nodded, "Yes, I've been away for ten years!" After saying this, Ling Dong didn't wait for Uncle Yu to lead the way. His figure flashed and he charged towards the center of the Star Net Valley.
Ling Dong was like this. As long as he decided on something, no matter how dangerous it was, he wouldn't be afraid of the slightest thing. Instead, he would charge forward with large strides.
"Thirteenth Master, Madam must be overjoyed to see you. Let's go this way and see her first!" Uncle Yu said as he followed.
After a few breaths of time, Ling Dong and Uncle Yu landed in the center of the Dongluo Sect. It was an extremely luxurious building in the center. It was called the inner courtyard. Most disciples preferred to call it the Sect Master's harem!
Due to the many family members of the Dongluo Sect's Sect Master, You Tiansheng, a large courtyard had been set aside in the center of the Dongluo Sect for his family members to live in.
Like all the other clans, the You Family of the Dong Luo Sect's Sect Master, You Tiansheng, had extremely strict rules. For example, no one was allowed to descend from the sky within the Sect Master's harem. They had to land in front of the gates of the harem before entering.
Ling Dong and Uncle Yu landed in front of the gates of the Sect Master's harem. After Uncle Yu sent out a ray of light, they passed through the gates and entered.
Under Uncle Yu's lead, they passed through corridors and aisles. After passing through a moon gate, Ling Dong suddenly heard a shout, and a huge martial arts practice field appeared in front of him. It had a radius of a thousand meters.
At the moment, there were two people on the training field who were spitting out astral energy as they fought happily. On the side, a few young people were watching and cheering.
This scene made Ling Dong turn his head slightly to take a look. However, this scene made Uncle Yu, who was leading the way, tense up.
"Hurry up and leave, Thirteenth Master. This is the First Master, the Seventh Master, the Eighth Master and the Ninth Master's training field. This old servant didn't expect to run into them here either."
As for why Uncle Yu said this, Ling Dong was clear about it. Ling Dong, who was impersonating Celestial Official You Qianjun, didn't get along with any of these people. Every time they met, there would be a lot of verbal exchanges. In serious cases, they would even get into a fight!
"Hey, look! It's Thirteenth Master! Isn't that Thirteenth Master back?" Uncle Yu was about to pull Ling Dong back to another path when one of the sharp-eyed people on the training field shouted.
This roar immediately attracted the attention of all the people who were fighting or watching the battle in the Martial Arts Practice Field.
In the next moment, the seven figures moved and floated towards Ling Dong.
Uncle Yu panicked when he saw the seven people floating over. He slapped his head and said, "Why are all these masters here? Oh no, the Sect Master has been in seclusion for half a year. If these masters cause a ruckus, something big will happen!"
In his panic, Uncle Yu pushed Ling Dong back and said, "Hurry up and leave, Master. Don't get entangled with them. It's not worth it! Let's wait until we meet Madam first! "
However, no matter how hard Uncle Yu pushed, Ling Dong didn't budge an inch. He even sneered. "Uncle Yu, do you think I'm afraid of them?"
Ling Dong suddenly thought of a brilliant plan that could allow him to smoothly escape from the Dongluo Sect! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
