Leonard Lin stood there, stunned.
It wasn’t until the blood trickled past his eyes that he snapped back to reality. He bowed respectfully and sat down in a daze.
Ambrose Lu slowly stood up, hands behind his back, gazing at the horizon. “In a while, I’ll be leaving the Immortal Realm. Take care of yourselves.”
Mark Gu and the others were shocked, their faces showing reluctance.
“Sir, are you going to the Ancestral Divine Realm?” Mark Gu asked respectfully.
“No,” Ambrose Lu shook his head with a faint smile. “It’s another world. I might go there to open a tavern.”
Opening a tavern in that world was both a whim and a reason.
The reason was…
Opening a tavern???
Mark Gu and the others were full of question marks.
Christopher Tong’s curiosity was piqued. His eyes darted around before he mustered the courage to ask, “Sir… do you need a waiter?”
Upon hearing this, Leonard Lin’s eyes also lit up.
Seeing this, Mark Gu felt a bit bitter. These rebellious disciples, were they planning to abandon their master?
But since it was the sir, he actually hoped his disciples could have the fortune to follow him. After all, following the sir was a rare blessing.
To be honest, if the sir didn’t mind, he would want to go too!
Ambrose Lu was slightly surprised and smiled, glancing at Mark Gu before saying, “What? Are you planning to abandon your master?”
“No, no, no! Sir, you misunderstand!! What is Mark compared to you? If you need Christopher and the others to do any chores, please just instruct them!!” Mark Gu hurriedly waved his hand in fear.
Ambrose Lu frowned slightly, pondering for a moment. Under their hopeful gazes, he smiled and said, “Alright, you can come to my tavern as waiters. But let me make it clear, you’ll have food and shelter, but I won’t be paying you.”
“No need, no need, no need. Being able to work under you is already our greatest fortune, how could we dare to ask for payment!” Christopher Tong said excitedly, his eyes shining with exhilaration.
Leonard Lin also looked at Ambrose Lu in disbelief, not expecting the sir to actually agree…
“Alright, but two people are enough,” Ambrose Lu said.
The four of them were stunned upon hearing this.
Mark Gu was the first to respectfully smile and say, “Sir, I won’t be going. I’ve been with the White Moon Sect for over a thousand years and have developed a sense of belonging. Besides, the Sect Master and senior brothers have treated me well. I’ll stay here in the White Moon Sect.”
The next moment, Andrew Chen bowed and said, “Sir, leave this opportunity to Senior Brother Tong and Senior Brother Lin. I’m usually clumsy and far less clever than Senior Brother Tong and Senior Brother Lin. I’ll stay in the White Moon Sect to accompany our master.”
Mark Gu was slightly taken aback and looked at Andrew Chen with a touch of emotion. This youngest disciple was indeed the most filial.
“Master, Senior Brother Chen…” Christopher Tong and Leonard Lin felt ashamed and were about to say something.
But then they heard Mark Gu’s voice in their minds: “Christopher, Leonard, there’s no need to say more. Follow the sir and seize this great fortune!!!”
Christopher Tong and Leonard Lin fell silent.
Ambrose Lu smiled and said, “Then let’s go.”
Christopher Tong and Leonard Lin quickly bowed to Ambrose Lu and then knelt before Mark Gu, their eyes slightly red. “Master, take care!”
“And thank you, Senior Brother Chen…”
Ambrose Lu smiled helplessly and said, “Let’s go. There’s no need for such farewells. It’s not like we’re parting forever; we’ll meet again.”
With that, he waved his sleeve.
He took Christopher Tong and Leonard Lin and disappeared from the courtyard.
Mark Gu and Andrew Chen stood there, stunned. When they came back to their senses, they bowed towards the void.
“Farewell, sir.”
A moment later, they stood up and sighed at each other.
The sir… truly came and went in a hurry…
“Andrew, I’m sorry for you,” Mark Gu patted Andrew Chen’s shoulder, comforting him softly.
He knew that missing such a great fortune would leave anyone feeling resentful.
Andrew Chen, however, smiled indifferently and bowed, saying, “Master, you’re too kind. There’s no grievance. Since meeting the sir in the Spirit Dust Realm, I’ve been luckier than anyone in the world.”
Mark Gu was momentarily stunned, then smiled and nodded.
“Good! The White Moon Sect is also excellent. From now on, we’ll settle down here as master and disciple.”
“Yes,” Andrew Chen smiled warmly.
“Haha, come, let’s go register, get the sect’s attire and waist token. With the nurturing of the Heavenly Lotus from the sir, you should be able to become an inner disciple with your talent.”
Mark Gu smiled and walked out of the courtyard.
Andrew Chen quickly followed.
But when they reached the courtyard gate, they were stunned!
Outside the courtyard, a large group of people were kneeling!
Upon closer inspection, besides Hai Dong and Wu Che, all the high-ranking members of the White Moon Sect, including the Sect Master, were there!
Even an elder who seemed to be in seclusion was called out??
“Sect… Sect Master, elders, what are you doing?” Mark Gu asked in confusion.
But as soon as he asked, he realized it must be because of the sir. That wasn’t surprising.
Phew, what a scare.
Seeing Mark Gu and an unfamiliar middle-aged man come out, everyone was delighted.
The White Moon Sect Master, with a look of fear in his eyes, quickly asked, “Mark, the Immortal Emperor…?”
Hearing the title of Immortal Emperor, everyone, even though they already knew, still turned pale with fear and were at a loss.
Seeing them like frightened rabbits, Mark Gu smiled and quickly stepped forward to help the Sect Master and an elder up, comforting them.
“Sect Master, elder, and all the elders, don’t panic. The Immortal Emperor has already left.”
Left?
“Phew~~~~~”
Immediately, the sound of relieved sighs filled the air. Although everyone was still apprehensive, they relaxed a lot.
It’s good that he left!!!
The Immortal Emperor of Longevity, the greatest figure in the Immortal Realm, they didn’t dare to think about currying favor with him. The White Moon Sect simply didn’t have that qualification!!
It’s good that he left, otherwise, they were afraid that any mistake might anger the Immortal Emperor and lead to their destruction.
The White Moon Sect Master calmed his mind and looked at Mark Gu in disbelief, saying with difficulty, “Mark, I never thought you had a connection with the Immortal Emperor… With such a connection, even a Nine-Star Sect would treat you like a treasure. Staying in our White Moon Sect is…”
He now spoke to Mark Gu in a gentle and cautious manner, afraid that his voice might accidentally rise.
Mark Gu quickly waved his hand and bowed, saying, “Sect Master, you’re too kind. I’ve been with the White Moon Sect for a thousand years and have grown accustomed to it. You and the elders, as well as my senior and junior brothers, have treated me very well. I won’t leave the White Moon Sect.”
Everyone was stunned, looking at Mark Gu with increasingly gentle eyes. With such a connection to the Immortal Emperor, he still remained humble and unassuming.
They knew that even if Mark Gu wanted to become the Sect Master of the White Moon Sect, no one would dare to object!
The White Moon Sect Master didn’t know what to say for a moment.
At this moment, Mark Gu pushed Andrew Chen forward and smiled, “By the way, Sect Master, this is my disciple from the lower realm. He just ascended not long ago. I had two other disciples with good talents, but they just left with the Immortal Emperor. What do you think?”
Left with the Immortal Emperor?
Gasp!!!
Everyone was shocked.
