I Am The Young Master

Chapter 30: Junior sister

'Damn…' I thought.

That was a hell of a back-story. I won't even ask how the fuck did uncle Aram find all of these out. If I ask him he would flex about his organization again.

That young master was a piece of shit for real. Well, he would get his retribution soon enough from Jin Fen if he is the MC.

Now I have to find out what makes Jin Fen special. How did he get to where he is in 5 short years…

That aside, although my interaction with him was not long but he was too prideful for someone who had such a life.

There are two possibilities for his actions at that time in my eyes. One is that he saw his mother in Lai Xinyue and the big bad young master in me and as a result shouted 'stop' unconsciously.

This option could not be true in my opinion, why? Well, his prideful act after his shout was not of someone who had just remembered a traumatizing memory so I think it is safe to say that this is not the correct reason for his action.

The other thing that I can think of is the so-called protagonist halo. No, I don't think he has a halo or something, I'm just using the metaphor. What I mean is that he is prideful because of what he has as his cheat or fruitful encounter. He was no one when he was in the Xu family and now he is a disciple of the heavenly sword sect. That speaks of his rapid growth in the past years and I think this is the root of his pride.

He thinks that he is the best talent that the world has ever seen and because of whatever power/item/old ghost he has, he believes himself to be destined for greatness but it can all end in a tragedy of a young genius withering too soon.

I think that this is a more probable option. Which child of the plane is not prideful? For all I know he has some powerful thing that can mask him even from the [Peeping eye of heaven] so I can't take his luck in life lightly. Well, maybe except when he was 8 years old but that is not the point.

Nodding to myself I was going to go back to my relaxation and meditation to solidify my realm that my communication device glowed, unfortunately, they do not vibrate here. Maybe I can ask for a custom one with vibration, that would be the best.

I come back from my thought when the communication device glowed again. Taking it into my hands I looked at the caller's formation to see who is it. To my shock it was myself.

'What the— oh! I see…' I was thinking of schemes that could be in play when I finally remembered that I gave one of my spare communication devices to Lai Xinyue.

"Yes." Answering the call I spoke.

"Senior brother it's me, Lai Xinyue." She told me in answer.

"How are you, junior sister? Is everything fine?" I asked her just to be polite.

"I am fine, yes thank you. I wanted to ask you if you could come to see my fight." She got straight to the point.

Man, I love this straightforwardness in a phone call. I had so many occasions in my past life that an acquaintance would call me and after half an hour of asking bullshit about my life or telling me about theirs, they would get to the point that they needed something from me.

Would it kill them to say it from the start? Just thinking about it irritates me.

As I was remembering my past there was a moment of silence and Lai Xinyue thought I was going to tell her I do not want to come, so she hurriedly added.

"I just wanted to show senior brother my improvements in the past days…" she told me with a stoic voice. If I didn't know her better, I would think that she is saying 'I'm inviting you but I don't give a fuck if you come or not'. Thankfully I know her way of speech so I wasn't bothered by it.

"Sure, I am free today. What is this fight about?" I shrugged mentally and asked her.

"It is for the selection of the [Eternal wail trial]." She answered.

"I see. Where are they doing these selections?" I asked her for the location.

"Because all the disciples are permitted to participate in it, the selection is on the Sword Valley." She answered back.

It seems the sect is using these spars as a show of unity in the sect. Choosing a place like the Sword valley, as a historical ground of the sect would ignite a sense of pride in the disciples and would unite them to be better and do bigger for the sect. A pretty useful strategy if I say so myself.

"I see. When is your fight, junior sister?" I asked her. I didn't want to see every fight on the first day of the competition where there are many disciples and so many fights when I can laze around for once.

"In 15 minutes." She told me.

I was lost for words for a moment. There is almost no time left as it seems.

"Junior sister, why did you call me this late then?" I couldn't stop myself from asking her. I mean she could have told me much sooner…

"…I was contemplating to call senior brother or not, and also I thought if you don't want to come I could tell myself that there was not enough time for senior brother to come here…" she told me.

"Well… that was quite some thinking process there…" I muttered. I didn't even think about her mind working in this way. It seems that she might be idolizing me.

"Alright, I'll be there in less than fifteen minutes." I told her and ended the call after that.

Putting on a clean robe, I walked out of my courtyard and headed toward the nearest teleportation formation.

There are many teleportation stations in the sect that could teleport you to the different parts of the sect very fast and everybody can use them for free. But there is a catch, you have to power up the formation yourself, meaning that you have to use spirit stones to activate them.

Well, that is really negligible for my pockets so I don't have any problems with that.

Getting into the formation I tossed a low-grade spirit stone into the designated place and the formation glowed and on the next second, I was on the other side of the formation.

Teleporting is different from what I know about it in novels. It is not nauseating as I had read, it is like getting shrunk into almost nothing and getting back to your real size.

Well, to be honest, some might find it nauseating so I can't be sure.

Anyway, I walked to the competition grounds and tried to locate Lai Xinyue. I come here in just five minutes so I had enough time. Well, my chief disciple robes would help her to find me at least.

After a few minutes of walking around, a voice called out to me.

"Senior brother."

As I know the owner of that voice I turned to face her.

"Junior sister." I greeted her.
