Chapter 723: One-Shot Knockout? (Subscription Request)_1

As he ventured deeper, a courtyard began to vaguely emerge before his eyes!

Faint sounds of anxious discussion could be heard coming from inside...

"Mu Yun, hurry up and get the tea ready, the master will be back any moment now!!"

"Understood, Senior Brother!"

"Right, Xiao Yue, go get the fan ready!!"

"Okay! Big Senior Brother!"

Xu Sheng lifted his eyes slightly and stepped into the courtyard...

Upon a quick survey of the situation inside, he only saw a giant of a man, dressed in a robe much too big, his skin was extremely dark, and his body was bursting with muscular physique, frantically directing others...

Xu Sheng raised his eyebrows and out of the blue, he spoke, "Um... You must be a senior brother from Tianlan Peak, right?"

Hearing this voice, the robust man in the robe abruptly turned his head, staring at Xu Sheng with disbelief, "Wait, you couldn't possibly be... the new junior brother who has just joined us?"

With a faint smile, Xu Sheng nodded, saying, "Yep! I'm a disciple who just passed the Outer Sect assessment! I've come to join Tianlan Peak..."

Before he could finish, the muscular man quickly interrupted, advising him, "Junior Brother, listen to my advice, leave Tianlan Peak right away! Any other peak would be better! Just don't stay here!"

He didn't want another new disciple to suffer!

Confusion appeared on Xu Sheng's face, "???"

Was Tianlan Peak that terrible? So terrible that they want to drive away new disciples!

Then another handsome disciple, holding a wine jar, hurried over. When he caught sight of Xu Sheng's new face, he quickly rubbed his eyes, exclaiming in surprise, "No way, no way? Someone really joined our Tianlan Peak?? Should I, out of humanitarian consideration, persuade this junior brother to switch to a different peak?"

As soon as these words ended, a woman's voice arose...

"Eh? There's really a new junior brother who joined our Tianlan Peak! Didn't the Outer Sect Elder tell you?"

Xu Sheng glanced over and saw a female disciple holding a fan, with slightly curled brownish-yellow hair and eyes as bright as the sea. Her whole aura seemed a bit languid, unintentionally prompting a sense of closeness...

Seeing the uniform reaction of the three of them, Xu Sheng chuckled, "Elder brothers and sisters, aren't you exaggerating a bit?"

As Xu Sheng showed no sign of nervousness, the muscular man was almost in tears of urgency, "Exaggeration? Let me tell you, little brother, our master is a million times more terrifying than those bloodthirsty Monster Beasts! While you can, you better..."

His words were cut off abruptly as he suddenly tensed up, trembling as if he had seen a Primordial Behemoth, and swallowed back what he was about to say...

"Escape? Where to?"

A slightly cold voice sounded from behind Xu Sheng...

The other two disciples who had caught on to what was happening seemed to be toadying up, "Master! You're back? We've already brought out the wine for you!"

"Master, master, please take a rest, let Xiao Yue fan you for a bit!"

Curiosity piqued, Xu Sheng turned around to look, and a flash of amazement crossed his dark pupils...

He saw a woman in front of him, clad in a white garment that flowed to the ground, her loose hair dancing wildly with the wind, adding an air of otherworldly grace...

Especially those amber-like ice blue eyes, clear as Diamond Dust immersed in a stream, her indifferent features lent her an aura of frost, invoking a subconscious sense of dread...

Regaining his composure, Xu Sheng began, "Master..."

Little did he know, the woman with cold eyes glanced at him and lay down on a bench in front of her, unconcerned...

Her tender lips parted to say "Xiao Mu, the wine!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the disciple called "Xiao Mu" quickly poured a clear and bright cup of wine, respectfully handing it to their master's hand...

"Master, please..."

The master extended a smooth finger to receive the wine cup and then drank it in one gulp...

When she put down the cup, a delicate flush of redness stealthily spread across her cheeks...

She muttered softly, "Yue'er, your master feels so hot...!"

Another female disciple immediately walked over with a fan in hand and began to fan vigorously...

Feeling a cool breeze, the master let out a pampered huff...

Xu Sheng was stunned by this scene, exclaiming in astonishment, "She's... drunk after just one cup??"

Although he had heard of people who could get drunk from a single cup, this was the first time he had actually seen it!

The burly man explained, "Junior Brother Xu, our master loves to drink, and she has a cup every time she leaves or returns, but her tolerance for alcohol is... well..."

"Of course, a low tolerance is one thing, but the key is, when our master drinks, she will..."

Before he could finish, the female master lounging on the bench, her face flushed red, said in a tone somewhat softer, "The disciple who just joined Tianlan Peak, come here!"

Hesitating for a few seconds, Xu Sheng eventually walked over to the female master...

"You're a bit tall, squat down!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Sheng had to slowly crouch down...

No sooner had he squatted down than he saw the breathtakingly beautiful woman in front of him extend a smooth palm to caress Xu Sheng's cheek, her ice-blue Beautiful Eyes appraising his features...

She laughed carefreely, "Hmm! You are quite handsome, a fine material for a... 'cauldron'!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the other disciples' faces turned dark...

Xu Sheng felt the cool touch on his cheek and said softly, "Thank you for the compliment, Master!"

How could he not know what being a 'cauldron' meant...

"Hmm! Then from now on, you'll be my True Disciple! If anything comes up... look for..."

Before she could finish, those increasingly unfocused ice-blue Beautiful Eyes quietly closed under the weight of drowsiness...

Seeing this, the other three disciples of Tianlan Peak heaved sighs of relief, all thinking the same thing...

"Phew! She finally fell asleep."

At that moment, the strong man helplessly said to Xu Sheng, "Junior Brother Xu, since the master has already said this, you'll definitely be unable to leave Tianlan Peak! Let's keep it simple with the introductions, shall we?"

They themselves had successfully fled to other peaks once, but were forcefully brought back, even the Peak Masters of the other peaks couldn't protect them!

He then explained, "I'm the eldest disciple of Tianlan Peak, Yun Cong. This is the second brother, Mu Yun, and this is the third sister, Mo Qingyue! Also known as your third elder sister!"

Xu Sheng smiled and said, "Greetings Senior Brother Yun, Senior Brother Mu, Elder Sister Mo! My name is Xu Sheng!"

Then changing his tone, he asked in confusion, "Senior Brother Yun, could you tell me what the master meant when she said I'm her Direct Disciple?"

Yun Cong smiled and explained, "Ah, that! Every disciple who joins Tianlan Peak is a True Disciple of the master, which means your status has risen quite a lot immediately."

Mu Yun nodded, "The garments we wear, adorned with deep red patterns, are the attire of Tianlan Peak's True Disciples!"

Mo Qingyue smiled and said, "Let's go! While the master is still asleep, let's explain the basic common knowledge of the sect to Junior Brother Xu."
