Don't let Yu Ding take on any more disciples.

Chapter 88 Like a Teacher, and Even More Like a Father

"They want to hand the two little ones over to their master."

Yang Jian saw through the two eagles' thoughts, and with a slight change in his expression, he asked Yu Ding, "What do you think, Master?"

Actually, he was also a little tempted, because he believed that the little eagle trained by his master would definitely be more powerful and helpful in the future.

He is now completely convinced of his master's abilities, and he knows so much.

Cultivation techniques, supernatural powers, Taoist arts, matters of the Three Realms... he can tell you almost anything you ask.

However, he had never seen his master's incredible divination skills.

He had heard Yu Ding say more than once that his divination skills were more powerful than any of his own supernatural abilities. Perhaps this time when he went down the mountain, he could ask his master to perform a divination... Yang Jian thought.

"My sect? That's quite unnecessary!"

Yu Ding smiled and shook his head at the two golden-winged eagles, saying, "I believe that my disciple will surely achieve great things in the future, and your children will definitely be successful if they follow him."

The two golden-winged eagles then extinguished the burning desire in their eyes, glanced at the group, and then flapped their wings and flew away.

When the two eaglets saw their parents fly away, they frantically flapped their wings, but they couldn't catch up no matter what they did, and they chirped anxiously.

"Wow, what an adorable little eagle! Where did it come from?"

Yang Chan, who had been sent by Yu Ding to guard the alchemy furnace, came out when she heard the commotion and her eyes almost melted when she saw the two little eagles.

“One is for my master, and one is for me.” Yang Jian’s face revealed a sly smile.

Yu Ding was taken aback and looked at Yang Jian in surprise.

"Master, I can't manage both of them. You can keep the last one to play with, but I'll take this one with me."

As Yang Jian spoke, he picked out the more handsome of the two, picked it up, and headed towards his thatched hut halfway up the mountain.

"Second brother, wait for me, let me see, I'll help you raise it..." Yang Chan chased after him.

Only Qingyun and Yuding remained in the same spot.

Qingyun stepped forward and examined the dejected little eagle from all angles.

"What are you doing now?" Yu Ding was speechless.

Qingyun held the golden-winged eagle upside down and said, "Master, the one that Senior Brother Yang Jian took away looks like a female, but this one is male."

"You can even tell the sex of them..." Yu Ding couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "What a talent!" He turned around and said, "Alright, let's keep them here for now and take them to the spirit herb field to catch insects every day."

"Master, these aren't chickens..." Qingyun paused, but then remembered the consequences of his previous slip of the tongue.

So he decisively chose to remain silent.

one year later.

"Are you going on a journey?"

On the cloud bed, Yu Ding looked at the heroic young man and smiled with some satisfaction.

By this time, Yang Jian had grown up, tall and slender, with black hair flowing down his shoulders, sharp eyes, and handsome and powerful appearance.

His appearance does indeed capture a third of the charm of Yu Ding.

Yang Jian clasped his hands in a bow and said, "This disciple has almost mastered those supernatural powers and Taoist arts, and it is time for me to descend the mountain to seek the Tao."

"Then go!"

Yu Ding nodded: "Be careful on your way!"

Looking at the young man before him, Yu Ding was suddenly filled with endless emotions.

Compared to Yuan Hong, this disciple was someone he had watched grow up little by little, and the feelings he poured into Yang Jian were different from those he had for Yuan Hong.

Yuan Hong was truly his disciple.

Yang Jian...

Yang Jian, his eyes slightly red, clasped his hands and said, "When I am not here to serve you, Master, you must take good care of yourself."

His father died tragically before his eyes when he was young, and he had to shoulder the responsibility while still very young, embarking on a life of wandering and uncertainty with his younger sister.

Even now, he is still surprised whenever he thinks about it, and he doesn't understand how he managed to persevere back then.

When did his tragic fate change...?

It probably started when his third sister was starving that day, and he secretly entered the city to find something to eat.

I still remember that day, when suddenly a group of ethereal and otherworldly immortals appeared, vying to take him as their disciples.
At that time, he didn't feel happy; he only felt...

Feeling uncomfortable, scared, and stressed.
Because he didn't know who to side with, as following one would inevitably offend the other immortals, and besides, he felt like an object in the eyes of those immortals...

Perhaps it sounds sentimental to say this, and he had no other choice, but he still had to say that it really made people uncomfortable.

Then, among all the immortals, only this master stood there from beginning to end, showing no intention of taking him as a disciple.

Only this immortal did not make him feel any pressure.

Later, perhaps sensing his predicament, the immortal suggested that he choose for himself...

Sometimes fate is that simple; at that moment, he felt an immense fondness for this kind and understanding immortal.

After that, he came to Yuquan Mountain.

But when he first arrived, he had a hard time, and was awakened by nightmares almost every night.

That day, that event
This nightmare repeated itself night after night, tormenting him to the point of exhaustion. Sometimes, when he passed by the cliff edge, he would have the thought that jumping off might be the only way to escape.

But every time that happened, a gentle voice would call out to him from behind.

Later, he stopped having nightmares. After recovering, he paid special attention and discovered that every few days a figure would enter his room to help him get a good night's sleep...

Over the years, whenever he felt like giving up or needed encouragement, it was always this master who appeared first.

As time goes by, his memory of his biological father has become increasingly blurred, replaced by another figure. This master is no longer just a master to him.

Like a teacher, but even more like a father!

Therefore, he now prefers to call him "Master" rather than "Master".

"go Go!"

Yu Ding turned around and waved his hand, refusing to look at him. It was another case of a teacher worrying his students as they traveled thousands of miles!
The difference this time is that Yang Jian isn't completing his apprenticeship; he's merely traveling and seeking enlightenment in the mortal realm, so he won't be fighting against the Heavenly Court... "Screech!"

A golden-winged eagle spread its wings and swooped into the cave, landing steadily on Yang Jian's shoulder.

At this moment, the eaglet had shed its pale yellow down and grown golden wings, looking as majestic and handsome as a proud little rooster.

"Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!"

Another eaglet flapped its wings and came in, but it was bulky and, despite its efforts to fly, it was like a chicken that couldn't fly.

“Little fat chicken…” Yang Jian’s lips twitched.

This is the masterpiece of his third sister. The master didn't care about the outcome, and Yang Chan fed him into this grotesque state.

He suddenly felt that he had failed the trust placed in him by those two great eagles!

"Xiao Fei, Xiao Fei... wait for me! Don't force yourself if you can't fly!" Yang Chan chased in and said with a helpless smile.

"Third Sister, I'm leaving. You must be a good girl and listen to Master, okay?"

Yang Jian instructed Yang Chan, "When I'm not around, you must take good care of your master for me."

"Yes!" Yang Chan nodded emphatically.

Yang Jian took a deep look at Yu Ding's retreating figure, and as he turned to leave, he suddenly said, "Master, could you please perform a divination for your disciple?"

"Divination?"

Yu Ding's expression shifted slightly. This was naturally not a problem. He quickly took out some coins and threw them out.

All are positive...

"Good luck and prosperity, go with peace of mind!" Yu Ding said.

"Ok!"

Yang Jian's expression brightened, he nodded emphatically, and walked out of the Golden Cloud Cave with a confident look on his face.

Yang Chan turned and chased after him out of the cave, only to see Yang Jian transform into a streak of light and rush into the distance.

In the blink of an eye, they had reached a thousand miles away.

"Second brother, come back soon..."

Yang Chan waved her hand, suppressing her tears, and then returned.

"Master, Senior Brother Yang Jian has left."

Qingyun whispered, "Strange!"

"What's strange?" Yu Ding turned around.

Qingyun frowned and said, "I don't know why, but I have a feeling that I've seen this scene before, but I can't remember why... It's really strange!"

"Nonsense, what do you mean by déjà vu? You're probably under too much pressure because your primordial spirit can't travel around every day lately."

Yu Ding chuckled dryly: "Our cultivation also emphasizes the balance between work and rest. Qingyun, don't put too much pressure on yourself. Take more rest when you have time."

Look at you, you're so young and you're already hallucinating. Next you'll start losing your hair, and eventually go bald... Try grabbing a handful of your hair if you don't believe me."

"Am I under a lot of stress lately...?"

Qingyun pondered for a moment, but after hearing what followed, he tentatively grabbed a handful of hair. When he put his hand down and unfolded it, he saw three strands of hair in his palm.

Another grab, three more...

Qingyun:!!!∑(Дノ)ノ

"Kukuku..."

Yang Chan couldn't help but laugh.

This girl… Yu Ding looked at Yang Chan and shook his head helplessly.

Having cultivated to the Refining Spirit Realm over the years, Yang Chan's aptitude is quite good, so... should she be allowed to become a disciple of the Three Immortals of Sanxiao?
Yu Ding hesitated, because he also had his own considerations.

Yang Jian will inevitably have to contribute to saving his mother Yang Chan, and if the blame is placed on him, it will become a conflict between the Chan Sect and the Heavenly Court.

That Heavenly Emperor had every reason to complain to his grandmaster about the Chan Sect...

When Yang Chan becomes a disciple of the Three Immortals Sect, the brother and sister's rescue of their mother will also involve the Jie Sect.

If we offend the Heavenly Court, we'll all suffer the consequences together... Suddenly, Yu Ding's eyes widened. Could this matter eventually become the cause of the Investiture of the Gods?

Forget it, let's not drag the Jie Sect into this.

Yu Ding gave up on the idea. Tongtian Shishu was a pretty good person, and although the Three Immortal Maidens were ruthless and didn't talk much... he could try to build a good relationship with them in another way later.

Yu Ding made no secret of his disgust for those morally corrupt individuals within the Jie Sect.

However, he is still very willing to build a good relationship and make friends with people who have no bad records.

"Alright, I have another announcement to make."

Yu Ding made a decision: "Qingyun, Yang Chan, would you be willing to become my disciples in name only?"

Qingyun was stunned and asked incredulously, "Master, is it...really?"

The surprise came too fast, like a tornado.
I still can't quite believe it, it's really something!
He, Qingyun, finally rose from a novice to a disciple of the master.

"Okay, okay!" Yang Chan nodded eagerly.

"Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!"

At this moment, the "little fat chicken" started jumping up and down, expressing its dissatisfaction.

Its spirituality is not low... Jade Cauldron glanced at it: "Alright, you..."

“Its name is Xiaofei!” Yang Chan said with a smile.

Yu Ding nodded: "Alright, Xiao Fei, I will also accept you as a disciple!"

Yang Chan became happy, while Qingyun suddenly became conflicted.

After having this chubby little chicken junior brother, he suddenly felt that the value of the master's nominal disciple was... not so high!
