"Master Sect, this is Elder Shan. I have something important to talk about Disciple Yuan, "Older Shan knocks on Long Yijun's door and says from the outside.

“Murid Yuan? What did he do this time?” Long Yijun immediately sighed and stopped working.

"Get in!"

Elder Shan opened the door a moment later and entered the room with Disciple Fei following behind him.

“Hm?” Long Yijun raised his eyebrows after seeing Disciple Fei, wondering what he was doing there and how he related to this situation.

"Murid Fei, go ahead and tell Sect Master what you said to me before coming here," elder Shan looked at him and said.

Disciple Fei nodded and stepped forward before bowing to Long Yijun respectfully, "Murid Core Fei greeted Sect Master."

After greeting Long Yijun, Disciple Fei began to speak, "I will participate in the sitar competition that will be held in a week with my partner, an Outer Court disciple surnamed Yuan."

“Sitar competition? With Disciple Yuan?” Long Yijun's jaw loosened slightly after hearing his words. Since when did Yuan become a zither expert?

Disciple Fei nodded and said, "Murid Yuan has an amazing talent with zither, and I believe that we have a good chance of getting third place if he participates in the competition with me."

"Third position? If I remember correctly, you have placed 7th place for the last competition, ” Long Yijun said with a brooding face.

"That's right, Sect Master."

After pondering for a moment, Long Yijun spoke, “I am aware that this competition is supported by the Sky and Earth Palace, so the competition will be much fiercer this year. What makes you think you will be able to reach 3rd place?”

“If you listen to Disciple Yuan play the zither, you will understand my feelings, Sect Master. I I managed to get the zither enlightenment after listening to his sitar game.”

"What?! The enlightenment? Like that?!" Long Yijun exclaimed in a shocked voice, as this was the first time he had heard such a thing.

Disciple Fei nodded.

‘Maybe I should also listen to Disciple Yuan play the sitar ..’ Long Yijun thought inwardly.

A moment later, Long Yijun said, “By the way, I understand the situation now, but letting Disciple Yuan leave the sect is not as simple as you think, Disciple Fei, it is, because his existence within the sect was a little special to at least ”

Long Yijun took a deep breath before speaking, “To be honest, Disciple Fei, we also have no idea what the true background of Disciple Yuan is. There was speculation that he was from one of the Four Ancient Families, but that was just speculation

"Four Ancient Families ?!" Disciple Fei's jaw fell upon hearing this.

Even if it was just speculation, it was still very surprising that they judged Yuan as someone worthy enough to exist in one of the Four Ancient Families.

After a moment of silence, Disciple Fei asked Long Yijun with a worried expression on her face, “Then what will happen now? Will you ban him from participating in the competition? ”

"What's? Of course not!" Long Yijun quickly responded with a shocked expression on her face.

Although he wouldn't say it because it would affect his face and position as Sect Master, he actually didn't dare to confine Yuan within the sect despite his value to them, especially after promising her that they would not restrict her movements and freedom.

"Then he can participate in the competition with me?" Disciple Fei asked again with a slightly excited expression on her face.

“If that's what he wants to do, there's no reason for me to refuse, especially if you're so sure you're going to reach 3rd place in the tournament. After all, whatever reputation or recognition you gain from the competition will also affect the Dragon Essence Temple. ” Long Yijun nodded.

He then turned to look at Elder Shan and said, "I hope you don't mind, and I don't doubt your abilities, but because Disciple Yuan will come with you, I hope you won't, I want Elder Xuan to accompany you just in case."

Elder Shan nodded and said, “Don't worry, I completely understand. I wouldn't be able to sleep for the rest of my life if something happened to him while we were outside. In fact, even if you don't mention it, I will personally ask for help. ”

Long Yijun nodded and said a moment later, "Then I will look forward to your results, Disciple Fei."

“Thank you, Sect Master. I will try my best to bring glory to the Dragon Essence Temple. ” Disciple Fei bowed before leaving the place with Elder Shan shortly after.

“Sitar competition, huh? I just hope he doesn't make a fuss there .. "Long Yijun sighed as he lay in his chair, experiencing an unpleasant feeling in his chest for some reason.

After leaving the Sect Master's headquarters, Disciple Fei asked Elder Shan, "Master, do you really think Disciple Yuan belongs to one of the Four Ancient Families?"

“To be honest, I have a hunch that his true background might even surpass the Four Ancient Families. You weren't there to witness it, but Disciple Yuan's cultivation talent .. It's so crazy that it's terrifying. ”

“Above the Four Ancient Families? Is such power even in the Under Heaven? I think the Four Ancient Families are the strongest in the Lower Heaven. ” Disciple Fei said.

Elder Shan shook his head and said, “The Lower Sky may seem small compared to the upper sky, but there are many powerful and hidden backgrounds in this world that prefer to remain humble or unknown to the rest of the world as a method of survival. , and the Four Ancient Families only scratched the surface of what there might be” at least that's what I think.”
