Chapter 2009: Substitute?

Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations

Sima You Yue didn’t know Lu Yan’s personality, but he did. He didn’t care about the matters of the sect and didn’t care for matters outside the sect. He focused solely on research into sound attacks and his personality was insipid.

Many people had asked to hail him as their master before this, and there were many talented ones among them. However, he didn’t care about them at all. Now, he had accepted Sima You Yue as his disciple just like that, so he was extremely curious.

However, he dared not ask him why. He could only wait to see whether or not he would be able to find out later on.

Sima You Yue saw him zone out and asked, “Why are you in a daze? Is it that scary for me to get you to address me as Little Martial Uncle?”

“No, I was just thinking of something.” Yan Ya said, “Little Martial Uncle, let’s hurry and catch up to them. Otherwise, Honorable Master is going to get angry.”

“Mm.”

They caught up to Lu Yan and followed him into the discussion hall.

A few tens of people sat in the great hall and Sima You Yue took a general count, there were around seventy to eighty of them.

“Greetings, Sect Master.” Lu Yan entered and everyone rose in greeting.

“Everyone, let’s sit down.” Lu Yan walked directly to the main seat and sat down. Yan Ya went to his own seat as well, leaving Sima You Yue and her group standing in the middle.

All the sect members sat down and subconsciously took a second glance at Sima You Yue when they saw her.

“Sect Master, did something happen?” Mo Wei, the Vice Sect Master who was sitting right beside him, asked.

Two days ago, when Yan Ya returned, he had met Yan Ya and then asked the Vice Sect Master to arrange for all the important people of the sect to gather for a meeting. She even had to call out those who were in seclusion.

This kind of rush and importance was something they had never encountered before.

“Mm. in the future, she will be my disciple.” Lu Yan said as he pointed to Sima You Yue.

“What?! You actually took a female disciple?” Mo Wei cried out, “Why would you…”

After Lu Yan glanced at her lightly, she swallowed the rest of her words.

“Sect Master, what is so good about this disciple that you want to take her as your disciple directly?”

“You Yue, show them that item.” Lu Yan was too lazy to waste his words, so he just asked her to show them the reason with actions.

Sima You Yue took out the Bone Flute.

The moment they saw the Bone Flute, the entire hall erupted.

“This is… the Bone Flute?”

“Is it really the Bone Flute?”

“The Bone Flute has been found?”

“Heavens! It really is!”

Everyone saw the Bone Flute and every single one of them was shocked. If not because Lu Yan was there, they would not have been able to stop themselves from snatching it.

“Is that really the Bone Flute?” Mo Wei asked.


“Yes, I inspected it myself.” Yan Ya said.

“I understand. Did she use this as a condition for you to take her as your disciple?” Mo Wei looked at Sima You Yue with a touch of disdain, “But even if you want to take the Bone Flute back, you don’t have to take her as your disciple. The Music Sect has many different ways to express their gratitude.”

Sia You Yue could sense that this pretty but pretentious lady held some sort of enmity against her. Could it be because she was jealous that she had become his disciple?

However, the way she put on such an arrogant expression made her look very unlikable.

“The Bone Flute is mine.” Sima You Yue spoke, interrupting Mo Wei, “I came here because Mo Wei said that the Music Sect merely wants the Bone Flute to return to the sect and does not have to take it back. If not because of that, I would not join the Music Sect.”

She did not come here for charity. She did not like it and disdained it.

“She speaks the truth. The Bone Flute is hers.” Lu Yan said.

“What? Are you not going to take the Bone Flute back?” Mo Wei cried out with shock, “How could that be!”

The entire hall suddenly fell silent. Nobody had managed to regain their calm yet from the joyous news of having found the Bone Flute before they heard this explosive piece of news.

“Sect Master?” They looked at Lu Yan, hoping that they had misheard him.

“Just as she said, she has no obligation to return us the Bone Flute.” Lu Yan said, “The Bone Flute has already gone missing for too many years. Although our forefathers were the ones who created it, what right do we have to force others to hand it over?”

“But the Bone Flute has always been a treasure from the Music Sect. It needs to stay in the Music Sect.” Mo Wei said resolutely.

“That’s right. That is why she is now my disciple. Since she is my disciple, she is naturally from the Music Sect.” Lu Yan said lightly, ‘Then again, my acceptance of disciples is my own issue. Vice Sect Master, don’t you think you are over reaching?”

“You…”

Mo Wei was rendered speechless. However, he was right. His acceptance of disciples was his own prerogative. Nobody could interfere.

“Sect Master…” The others still wanted to persuade him. Not because of his acceptance of a disciple but the issue of the Bone Flute.

The Bone Flute was of utmost importance. How could they not take it back?

“You all do not have to speak any more. The issue has already been decided.” Lu Yan said, “Yan Ya, take Sima You Yue and the rest down. Arrange a place for them to stay.”

Yan Ya was a little surprised. How could he leave this kind of thing to a person like him, who had left the sect compound for such a long time? However, thinking about how You Yue and the others were not acquainted with anyone else, and that it was an order, he took them down.

Once they left, Mo Wei could hold it in no longer, “Lu Yan, you didn’t take the Bone Flute back and even took her as your disciple. Is it because she looks like Zhi Xuan?”

When he heard Zhi Xuan’s name, Lu Yan’s body instantly turned stiff. He said lightly, “She is her, Zhi Xuan is Zhi Xuan.”

“Is that so? Apart from this reason, I cannot think of any other reason that would cause you to undergo such a huge change and accept her as a disciple. You don’t even care about the many years of effort that the sect has gone through and allow her to possess that Bone Flute!”

“Oh? Then you tell me, what do you think should be done?” Lu Yan smiled lightly, but everyone knew that he was extremely upset.

However, Mo Wei was incensed by the fact that he had taken a disciple, so she did not see his rage. Or maybe she saw it but ignored it. She huffed icily, “She merely wanted to join the Music Sect, so we could have just found someone to take her in as their disciple. The Bone Flute is our treasure. We should take it back. We should not fear taking the necessary actions sometimes!”

“Necessary action?”

“Isn’t that how you used to do things? The past you would have done whatever it took for the sect, no matter what. Not like you now, who does whatever you please with a stranger.”

Mo Wei enunciated the word ‘stranger’, highlighting his inconsistency.

“Seems like you’ve thought everything through.” Lu Yan said, “Then do you know who she is? How powerful she is and what kind of background she has?”

“Did you not use to care about this in the past?” Mo Wei sneered.

“Then do you know who she is?”

The others could tell that there was something he was hinting at and asked, “Sect Master, what background does this lady have?”

“The Ghost King’s granddaughter, Yu Ke Luo’s daughter. Sima You Yue.”

“Even if she is the daughter of the Ghost King, we have no need to fear her. If the Ghost King appeared, we would still have her hand us the Bone Flute.”

They were the Hidden Sect. Even the Ghost King could not casually offend them!

“I have not finished speaking. Apart from being the Young Princess, kin of the princess that the Ghost King sealed, she is the Young Sovereign of the Ninth Underworld Clan.. They just came down from the Ninth Underworld Mountain.
