Who Let Him Cultivate Immortality

Chapter 509: Bu Yu Taoist returned to the sect without saying a word

Lu Yang watched the departing Body Fusion cultivators with a worried look, his brows furrowed and his mind uneasy.

"What's wrong? Can't bear to see them go? Want them to propose to you?" Meng Jingzhou teased with a smile. Ever since the celebration ended, there had been a constant stream of people coming to propose to Lu Yang, something Meng Jingzhou had noticed and envied.

Now, seeing Lu Yang staring longingly at the departing suitors, Meng Jingzhou couldn't help but laugh.

Lu Yang slowly shook his head and voiced his concern, "I'm worried they'll find out that proposing to me is a way to get close to Master. Then even more people will come."

Meng Jingzhou: "..."

Serves you right for asking too many questions!

With the memory of a Body Fusion cultivator, if they can't remember what they've done to offend someone, it speaks volumes.

Lu Yang thought that with his master's knack for making enemies, it wouldn't be surprising to hear one day that he had died violently outside.

To prevent such an accident, Lu Yang kindly suggested, "Master, have you considered writing your will in advance? I'm afraid you won't have time to write it when you're about to die."

Bu Yu Taoist gave his little disciple a meaningful look, thinking that Lu Yang's way of speaking had a touch of his second disciple's style when he formed his Yin-Yang Golden Core.

"Have you seen your second senior brother?"

"Second senior brother? No, isn't he in the Golden Buddha Kingdom?" Lu Yang didn't understand why his master asked that.

"Never mind."

Many disciples had come to watch Bu Yu Taoist. Back then, Bu Yu Taoist had been forced into seclusion for ten years and never showed his face. The eldest senior sister, believing Lu Yang's slander, released Bu Yu Taoist and sent him out to tell stories and promote the Seek Tao Sect. Since then, Bu Yu Taoist had never returned to the sect.

The previous two generations of disciples had only heard of the sect master but had never seen him.

Even in Lu Yang's generation, only Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou had seen Bu Yu Taoist; Tao Yaoye, Man Gu, and Li Haoran had never met him.

"I heard the sect master is back. Let me see, let me see!"

"Isn't Yun Zhi the sect master?"

"Finally, I get to see the real sect master. When I was on a mission outside and introduced myself as a disciple of the Seek Tao Sect, people first asked if I was a disciple of Bu Yu Taoist. Only after confirming I wasn't would they let me in."

"Have you all never seen the sect master?"

"Have you?"

"Yeah."

"We're all from the same generation. Where did you see him?"

"On a wanted poster."

The disciples squeezed in hard, wanting to see what the living Bu Yu Taoist looked like. If outsiders saw this scene, they might mistakenly think Bu Yu Taoist was well-loved by his disciples.

"Junior brother, you're back."

The Great Elder arrived late, or rather, he showed up only after the fight was over.

If Lu Yang could arrive immediately, how could the Great Elder be slower?

The Body Fusion cultivators who had beaten Bu Yu Taoist were known to him. Back when he and Bu Yu Taoist were exploring for grave sites, their surveying skills were immature, and they accidentally dug up someone's ancestral grave. The people, thinking they were tomb robbers, came down to check. By then, it was too late for them to run, so they hid in a coffin and slept with the ancestors for a night.

After the incident was exposed, people searched everywhere for Bu Yu Taoist.

Feeling guilty, the Great Elder thought it was better for Bu Yu Taoist to take the beating.

The other elders had similar reasons.

The Body Fusion cultivators who had just beaten Bu Yu Taoist were all people he and the elders had offended together, so none of them could show their faces.

"Just passing by the sect, thought I'd drop in," Bu Yu Taoist sighed. In the past year, the acting sect master had changed four times.

First, Yun Zhi was the acting sect master, then Lu Yang for three days, then Yun Zhi again, then Lu Yang for two months, and now it was Yun Zhi's turn again.

The frequent changes in the acting sect master showed how chaotic the sect's management was.

"I thought you had offended someone again and came back to the sect to hide."

Bu Yu Taoist didn't like hearing that, "What are you talking about? I always take responsibility for my actions. When have I ever run away?"

The Great Elder said quietly, with a hostile expression, "Then why did you imitate a woman and write love letters to the Fourth Elder, making him so lovesick and distracted? And when the truth came out, why did you stuff the unfinished letters under my bed?"

When the Fourth Elder was young, he had a pen pal named Ye Qianqian. They had never met and communicated only through letters. In the letters, Ye Qianqian described scenes of the Fourth Elder slaying demonic cultivators with his brush, which made her admire him and prompted her to write to him.

The Fourth Elder, charmed by Ye Qianqian's sweet words and elegant handwriting, soon fell for her.

Ye Qianqian also mentioned that her hometown had been hit by a flood, ruining the crops. The Fourth Elder immediately sent spirit stones along with his letter.

But no matter how meticulous the plan, there are always unexpected events. One day, the truth came out, and the Fourth Elder discovered that one of his senior brothers had been impersonating Ye Qianqian. Enraged, he searched everyone.

Seeing the situation turn bad, Bu Yu Taoist stuffed the unfinished letters under the Great Elder's bed.

As expected, the Fourth Elder fought with the Great Elder, only to find out later that it was Bu Yu Taoist's doing.

"Fourth Senior Brother, as a Confucian cultivator, practices the way of the gentleman, is rigid in his actions, and not quick-witted. It's easy for him to be deceived by women when he's out. Rather than let him be deceived by outsiders, it's better if I deceive him first. That way, he'll be more cautious in the future... uh, I mean, it's better to be deceived by a family member than an outsider." — This was Bu Yu Taoist's explanation before he got beaten.

The Great Elder still shuddered at the memory, knowing how ruthless scholars could be when they got serious.

"Since you're back, let's have a meeting. There's something we need to discuss with you."

The Great Elder gathered everyone: Yun Zhi, the eight elders, Bu Yu Taoist, Lu Yang, Meng Jingzhou, Tao Yaoye, Man Gu, Li Haoran, and Qin Yanyan.

The eldest senior sister was also in the sect. She watched her master get beaten without any intention of intervening.

Her reason was also valid — "I'm not at the Body Fusion stage; I can't beat them."

It was clear that the eldest senior sister really didn't want to get involved.

All the members of the Heavenly Court Sect were present. They looked at each other, heavy-hearted and silent, creating a tense atmosphere.

In fact, it was because the Sixth Elder was present, making it inconvenient for everyone to speak.

After listening to the Great Elder's explanation through divine sense, even Bu Yu Taoist, known for his trickery, was dumbfounded.

"So, the Heavenly Court Sect causing all the recent commotion is you guys?"

"It's us," the Great Elder corrected.

"…Not to mention you didn't get my consent before making me the Heavenly King Guardian of the Heavenly Court Sect. Being the Heavenly King Guardian is fine, but why did you name me the Growth Heavenly King based on my improved 'Shrinking Technique'?"

Grandpa Ba spread his hands, speaking reasonably, "You weren't here, so we had no choice. Besides, our Heavenly Court Sect values democracy. Your title was agreed upon by everyone except you."

Bu Yu Taoist was furious, veins bulging, "Democracy my ass! Who's the leader, the eldest senior brother or you? I want to get to the bottom of this!"

"Your eldest disciple."

"Growth Heavenly King sounds pretty good."
