Chapter 2235: Collapsing Exquisite Fairy (Part 2)

“Fourth Junior Brother?” Fairy Linglong was stunned.

“What’s going on?” she thought. “This Zheng Yang character is already renowned throughout Blazing Sun Heaven. His cultivation is exceptionally powerful, especially his spear technique. Each strike seems to unleash a great sun, and he has defeated several veteran titled God-Kings one by one. Because of this, the Emperor of Blazing Sun Heaven has been boasting about it for quite some time. Such an incredible figure... is your junior brother?”

“He is also... your teacher’s student from God Mountain?” she asked, dumbfounded.

“Yes!” the quiet girl nodded. “When our teacher accepted us as direct disciples, he established an order, and Zheng Yang happened to be fourth.”

Fairy Linglong was speechless. A senior and junior sibling relationship, no less... She had thought it was fortunate enough that the individual from God Mountain had taken these two peerless geniuses as disciples. She never expected Zheng Yang to also be his student. No wonder these two were unwilling to become her disciples; with a teacher like that, it was indeed something to boast about.

But... so what? After all, she was an Emperor. How could a teacher who was only at the God rank, even if he was lucky enough to find three geniuses, compare to her? No matter how she looked at it, she had the greater advantage. She had to make these two understand the gravity of the situation. Otherwise, if they didn't become her disciples, she wouldn't have a convenient way to spread the word, and how could she compete with the other Heavens?

Her thoughts circling in her mind, Fairy Linglong spoke pleasantly, “Alright, even if he is your junior brother, perhaps he'll show you mercy if you meet. But what about Zhao Ya, the new disciple of Emperor Fumu from Gengjin Heaven? She has no relation to you, does she? She has also received the title of God-King, and it's said she is at least as strong as Zheng Yang, if not stronger. Gengjin Heaven guards the west of the God Realm, while Linglong Heaven is in the southwest. The chances of a confrontation between the two are extremely high. If you don't learn, I'm afraid you won't be able to resist either...”

“That’s our Senior Sister!” the quiet girl nodded.

“...” Fairy Linglong’s eyelid twitched. Unable to hold back, she pressed, “The recently titled God-King Lu Chong from Ghost Spirit Heaven, surely he has no relation to you! He's also very strong...”

“That’s my Sixth Junior Brother!” the quiet girl continued.

“...” Her face began to twitch, and Fairy Linglong gritted her teeth. “What about Liu Yang, Zhang Jiuxiao, and Kong Shiyao, the three titled God-Kings from Cloud Serpent Heaven? You surely don't know them...”

“Those are my Third Junior Brother, Eighth Junior Brother, and Ninth Junior Sister!” the quiet girl replied with a satisfied smile. She was very happy to hear that so many of her junior brothers and sisters were doing well.

Fairy Linglong was somewhat frantic as she looked at them again. “Then... what about Yuan Tao, Shan Xiaotian, and Bai Ruanqing, the newly appointed God-Kings from Profound Nether Heaven?”

“Those are my Fifth Junior Brother, Tenth Junior Brother, and Eleventh Junior Sister...” the quiet girl continued.

(This girl was naturally Wang Ying, and the aloof one was Wei Ruyan.)

“Pfft!” Unable to hold back any longer, Fairy Linglong, whose body was already injured, spat out a mouthful of blood.

The other Heavens were incredibly excited, believing they had acquired geniuses and would undoubtedly gain more resources from this spiritual energy tide. But after all that, it turned out everyone was from the same teacher... All of them were fellow disciples! Taking one genius as a disciple could be called luck. Two was very lucky. Three was barely explainable. But a dozen or more like this... that couldn't be just luck!

“Is your teacher really just an ordinary God?” she asked, unable to contain herself any longer, gritting her teeth.

“Yes, when we first entered God Mountain, he had only recently broken through to the God rank...” Wang Ying nodded.

“An ordinary God, not appreciated by Emperors, without a Space-Time Mirror, or massive resources, probably unable to even reach Heavenly God now... yet he has over a dozen students who are titled God-Kings...” Fairy Linglong’s heart bled. “This fellow is too incredible!”

“Wait,” she thought. “If their teacher isn't appreciated by Emperors... if I were to find him first and persuade him to pledge allegiance, wouldn't that mean I would control all these newly advanced titled God-Kings from the other Heavens?” Her eyes lit up. “Is your teacher still in Ghost Spirit Heaven now? Has he ever revealed his identity?”

Hearing the question, Wang Ying paused, then said, “Our teacher has always been low-key. As long as we are doing well, he should not reveal his identity... As for whether he's in Ghost Spirit Heaven, we haven't contacted him for about a month, so we really don't know...”

As disciples, they knew their teacher’s character very well. He was humble and reserved, never actively showing off. Such excellent virtues were something they had never seen in anyone else throughout the Three Realms... Unless his many disciples were in danger, he would never recklessly expose himself... Now that his many senior and junior disciples were doing well and had all been titled God-Kings, their teacher must be very pleased and wouldn't proactively reveal his identity, thereby avoiding trouble. After all, teaching so many powerful disciples would make even Emperors envious.

“It's good that he hasn't revealed it...” Fairy Linglong breathed a sigh of relief. If his identity hadn't been revealed, it meant other Emperors wouldn't get there first. Suppressing her excitement, she immediately asked again, “What is his name? And what does he look like?”

Knowing his name and appearance, she could search for him first, and then figure out a way to establish a good relationship...

“Our teacher is low-key. If he knew we revealed his name, he would certainly punish us. We hope Your Majesty will understand...” Wang Ying bowed. Their teacher's character meant he preferred not to say much and disliked being in the spotlight. As disciples, they naturally had to keep his secret.

“Even if your teacher is low-key... once it's revealed that you are senior and junior siblings to Zhao Ya, Zheng Yang, Yuan Tao, and the others, someone will definitely investigate... No matter how low-key he is, he'll surely be found out. At that point, if someone comes looking for trouble, it will be extremely dangerous... My asking in advance is not to make things difficult for you, but to protect him, so you can also feel at ease!” Fairy Linglong quickly explained.

“This...” Wang Ying and Wei Ruyan exchanged glances, hesitating. What the Emperor said made sense. It would be fine if their own names weren't known, but as they became famous throughout the God Realm, someone with ulterior motives would certainly become suspicious and investigate. Their teacher had no assistance from an Emperor, couldn't enter a heaven-defying artifact like the Space-Time Mirror, and lacked sufficient resources. If someone truly wanted to cause trouble, he would be in extreme danger! If this Emperor was truly willing to help and protect him, it could indeed ensure his safety.

“Rest assured, I always keep my word. This is only for his protection; I won't cause him any trouble! A dignified Emperor would never go back on their word over such a minor matter...” Knowing their worries, Fairy Linglong smiled slightly.

“Since Your Majesty says so, we are relieved...” Seeing such a dignified Emperor speak this way, the two knew it was out of good will. Wang Ying paused, then said, “Once you find our teacher, we hope you can bring him over so we can pay our respects...”

“Don't worry!” Fairy Linglong nodded with a smile.

“Alright then...” Wang Ying smiled faintly and said, “Your Majesty must never have heard our teacher's name... It's Zhang Xuan!”

*Thud!* Fairy Linglong’s feet slipped, and she collapsed to the ground, utterly devastated.
