Chapter 836: Competition of the Apprentices

Sun Ze Hao walked over with his head held high like a tiger. His tiger eyes were full of excitement.
Though he was sitting at the same table as Ling Xian just now, he was more junior in position and didn’t have enough capability to ignore the statuses of others like Ling Xian did. Naturally, he found it hard to be able to speak.
Therefore, only now, did he find the chance to talk to Ling Xian.
“That’s true. Competing with Brother Ling is asking for trouble.” Mo Qing Fu chuckled to himself.
Ling Xian shook his head with a smile, “You are an original leveled powerhouse as well and the leader of the House. Why can’t you compare?”
“That’s different.”
Sun Ze Hao made a face and continued bitterly, “The reason why I was able to acquire the Supreme Headmaster position was pure coincidence. To be able to reach the original level was also because of the training I received after becoming the leader. You achieved everything by yourself. Naturally we cannot compare.”
“Exactly. You have enough capability to destroy three noble kinds. In the entire Yunzhou, very few people can compare.”
Mo Qing Fu grinned softly. His tone sounded overwhelmed.
“You two are flattering me.”
Ling Xian softly smiled and poured a cup of alcohol for Sun Ze Hao, “Come drink.”
“That little cup is no fun. That wine of yours is only aromatic; not strong enough.”
Sun Ze Hao took out a jug of alcohol from his storage pouch and three giant bowls. “If we are drinking, we need to drink something strong and use big bowls. Or else it’s not satisfying.”
“Let’s go. Drink to our heart’s full content.” The corner of Ling Xian’s lips curved up and he downed his portion.
After seeing that, Sun Ze Hao finished up his portion as well and wiped his lips with his sleeve. He guffawed, “Haha, this is so satisfying!”
Mo Qing Fu drank his as well. He then grinned slightly and was not at all as out there as Sun Ze Hao.
“Aye Ling Xian...”
Sun Ze Hao deeply sighed, “Back then, I wanted to go to Yuezhou to help you. But at that time, I had already taken on the position of being the Supreme Headmaster. Though I had power, I was restricted in every way and I couldn’t go save you.”
“Back then, I was in isolation and didn’t even know what was happening.” Mo Qing Fu deeply sighed as well. Similar to Sun Hao Ze, his face looked apologetic.
“You two are speaking so heavily. I am glad you had the intention.” Ling Xian grinned, he didn’t think much of it.
Sun Ze Hao was already the Supreme Headmaster of the Tai Xu House and had to be responsible for the lives of the entire House. Of course he could not do everything as he wanted. Mo Qing Fu on the other hand, was in isolation and didn’t even know about it.
Therefore, why would he blame them?
“As long as you don’t blame us.”
Sun Ze Hao gently sighed but quickly, a smile reappeared, “Ling Xian, though my capability is not as strong as yours, and my position is not as high as yours, I have something that you definitely cannot compare.”
“Oh?”
Ling Xian was interested and joked, “Could it be that you married someone and have some concubines? I truly cannot compare in that aspect.”
“You are bringing me down again. Who doesn’t know you have many female friends. Not only are they all beautiful, they were all willing to save you despite risking their own lives.”
Sun Ze Hao made a face and chuckled, “That’s not what I am talking about. I am talking about... apprentices.”
“Apprentices?”
Ling Xian froze a bit but quickly realized. With their current positions, they have earned the right to get apprentices.
As for the capabilities of their apprentices... that was something worth gloating about.
“Haha, you definitely cannot beat me in that.” Sun Ze Hao laughed and waved his hand at two people, signaling them to come.
They were of a girl and a boy, both around the age 16 to 17.
The young man looked very proper while the girl had a face similar to a flower’s. Ignoring how capable they were, they could handle the title of being the phoenixes out of a pool of people.
After they walked closer, Sun Ze Hao said with a large smile, “You all know who he is so I won’t introduce you. Just... just call him Uncle.”
Hearing this, they nodded. The way they looked at Ling Xian was full of respect. Then, they bowed down slightly to pay their respect.
However, Ling Xian stopped them.
Looking at the two extraordinary people, he smiled, “It’s not appropriate to call me Uncle. I am the brother of your Master, call me Senior Uncle Master.”
“What, what what! No, you are my junior!”
Sun Ze Hao made a face, “Just listen to me. Uncle will suffice.”
Hearing this, Ling Xian laughed and shook his head. There was no reason to debate this.
Since he didn’t say anything, the two bowed down and called out in unison, “Uncle.”
“No need for such etiquette.”
Ling Xian helped them up and smiled, “You two aren’t bad. Their temperament alone is better than yours.”
“Hehe, I am telling you, they are both already at the undefeatable realm of the meditational level. They have the potential to breakthrough to the foundation level.”
Sun Ze Hao chuckled proudly.
“Oh?”
Ling Xian was a little surprise, “Breaking through to the foundation level. Not bad at all.”
Hearing this, the two smiled brightly. As if they had just drank honey, they were very happy.
Don’t forget, Ling Xian had the ability to rule Yunzhou. Anyone would be happy to earn a compliment from him!
However, Sun Ze Hao was not satisfied. He mumbled, “That’s it? Where’s your astonishment? Where’s your look of you have failed?”
“Failed? Why should I feel like I have failed?” Ling Xian laughed.
“These two are my apprentices. They are so outstanding shouldn’t you feel bad?” Sun Ze Hao grinned, he very much wanted to see negative emotion on Ling Xian’s face.
Sadly, he was about to be disappointed.
Ling Xian remained smiling. There was no major changes to his expression.
At this, Mo Qing Fu spoke out as well, “I have an apprentice as well. He is 16 years old and is at the foundational level already. Plus, he has awakened the 57th ranked Eyes of Glory.”
At those words, Sun Ze Hao’s expression changed slightly. However, he wasn’t surprised nor shocked. “In the blink of an eye, our apprentices have already grown so amazing. Do you truly not feel anything?”
“You two... do we really need to use our apprentices to compete?” Ling Xian didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. But also knew apprentices were something everyone compared.
From certain perspectives, it is a representation of the continuation of one’s knowledge. An outstanding apprentice adds pride to the master.
“What can we do? You are good at everything and you are better than us at them. We can only use our apprentices to compete with you.”
Sun Ze Hao shrugged, “If you have no apprentice, then just tell us. We won’t laugh at you. Mo Qing Fu, don’t you agree?”
“Haha, that’s right. We won’t laugh at you.” Mo Qing Fu brightly laughed. The last sentence he spoke was emphasized.
Hearing this, Ling Xian smiled. He knew what these two were plotting. If he truly had no apprentice, then the other two would taunt him for sure.
Luckily, he had one.
“I actually do have an apprentice. She is 14 years old this year and she has yet to begin her cultivation journey.” Ling Xian said while grinning. The first sentence he said made Sun Ze Hao and Mo Qing Fu feel good about themselves.
But after his second sentence, their proud looks froze on their faces.
“However, she awakened a pair of the Inner Eyes. What was it again? Let me think... oh, right, right, the Eyes of the Falling Stars. I suppose you have heard of it?”
