Lord Zhang Fei

77 Shen Lingyun [I]

Not far from the library, there was a lonely mountain with an altitude of more than three hundred meters. It was the only mountain in the sect and even the entire Xuanbing City.

Arc Mountain had only one peak, but a huge building was built after it was flattened at the top of the mountain. The building was formed in a palace-style and was divided into three entrances. There were three huge halls, surrounded by side rooms, which were used for living.

This was the absolute center of the academy. The front hall and the nave were the places where the grand elder lived and worked respectively. The rear hall was where the elders of the sect and outstanding spiritual masters were based. For safety, the elders with the highest cultivation levels in the academy lived here for a longer time.

Those who could become the elders of the academy were generally those who have reached the level eight spirit and demon cultivation level or above. If the cultivation base reached level 8, it could be regarded as an absolute powerhouse on the mainland. Not only was the spiritual power cultivation base strong, but also had powerful magic summoning power, and could summon holy beasts with strong cultivation bases as companions.

The spirit crystals left by the elders of the academy were usually kept as relics by the academy.

At this time, in the grand elder’s office, a woman was sitting in front of the desk. Judging from the age, she should be in her thirties, showing a mature beauty of grace and luxury. She must have been a dignified and beautiful lady when she was younger.

“Boom. Boom. Boom.”

Suddenly there was a soft knock on the door.

The middle-aged woman raised her head and said, “Please come in.”

.....

As soon as the door opened, a middle-aged man walked in from outside. The man stopped a few meters before the table. He bowed to the woman and said softly, “Grand elder, master Bu Wenle has recently come to the academy.”

“Oh?” The woman raised her eyebrows and asked, “Do you know what’s going on?”

The man replied. “Four days ago, master Bu Wenle came over to go through the admission procedures for a branch disciple.”

“Oh.” The female grand elder nodded and asked, “Do you know who is enrolled?”

“An 8-year-old orphan, with a spiritual power level of 60, a light crystal spiritual man. He has entered the branch of master Buwenle to practice.”

“Well, it seems that this child has good qualifications. I hope elder Buwenle can be influenced by these talented children and return to his previous state of mind sooner.” The grand elder said, and stood up. She walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and looked out at the scenery before her.

It was late autumn, and the leaves of a flower and tree outside the window were almost lost. Only one leaf was still struggling in the autumn wind.

The female grand elder’s eyes fell on this leaf, and she couldn’t help sighing. *Don’t I feel like this leaf too? I have struggled with the relationship with elder Buwenle all my life, and I have always reported a glimmer of hope. I just hope that this glimmer of hope can come to the ground, take root, blossom and bear fruit.*

Only the man continued to say. “Grand elder, after registering the child’s name, master Bu Wenle came back the next day, and he went straight into the library and hasn’t left for three days.”

A strong wind blew, and the tenacious leaf outside the window was suddenly swept into the air, rolled and thrown far away, and then smashed to the ground mercilessly.

The grand elder couldn’t help frowning, her eyes finally retracted from the leaf, she turned and sat back on the chair, and muttered, “How could this be? Could it be that his illness has failed him again?”

After pondering for a moment, the grand elder raised her head and asked the man, “Fourth elder Wang, what has elder Bu Wenle been doing these three days?”

The man replied respectfully. “Elder Buwenle has been flipping through the books in the library for the past three days, as if he was looking for some information.”

The female grand elder frowned deeply, pondered for a while, and then said, “Okay, I understand. Thank you, elder Wang. If there is any news about master Buwenle in the future, please report to me at any time.”

“Yes, if there is no order, I will retire.” Elder Wang bowed respectfully and turned away.

The female grand elder stood up, paced a few steps in the room, and turned to leave through the side door.

The female grand elder’s name was Shen Lingyun, who had taken over the post of grand elder for more than ten years now. In fact, this position did not belong to her. Recalling the past, but also from more than 30 years ago.

The grand elder of Xuanbing sect had always been hereditary, and it had been inherited from the old Shen family since the first grand elder, Shen Xinghai. By the time of Shen Lingyun’s father’s generation, there were only two daughters, one was the grand elder Shen Lingyun, and the other was her twin sister Shen Lingxue.

Although they were twin sisters, the two sisters had different personalities. As the eldest sister, Shen Lingxue, her temperament had always been relatively calm, she was thoughtful when it comes to things, and belonged to the category of learning more and talking less, so it could be said that she was relatively introverted.

The younger sister Shen Lingyun was a lively and lovely person who loved to talk and laugh. Every day in the academy, there was no girl’s restraint at all. A group of little boys were often following behind her.

Because of this, the academy’s inheritance rights were set to her elder sister Shen Lingxue, both in terms of age and ability. In this regard, Shen Lingyun was also happy and relaxed, and she still laughed with her classmates every day, living infinitely free.
