"Master accepted another disciple!!"
Lin Huang muttered out loud, a strange feeling rising in his heart. He wasn't clear exactly what his emotion was—was it excitement from receiving a junior? But Lin Huang had countless juniors in the past.
Meanwhile, Li Mei, who had finished serving tea, also happened to catch sight of Lin Huang's figure from the corner of her eyes.
Just one look and for an extremely brief moment, a shocked expression appeared on her face, as if she was struck by lightning.
"How can he be here?" Alarm bells were ringing inside Li Mei at full intensity. Li Mei was sure she was not imagining things. The young man with sword-shaped eyebrows and dignified appearance was definitely the notorious and cold-hearted villain of the upper realm—Lin Huang, the Destroyer of Realms.
Tens of thousands of years from now, an extremely terrifying figure would rise in the upper realm. Wherever he went, destruction followed. Ancient families which had existed for millions of years were completely exterminated in a single night. Divine races which had existed since the beginning of the universe hid in sheer fright when the human-shaped destruction appeared in their region.
A single man had brought the extremely arrogant upper realm to their knees.
Li Mei had once gotten the opportunity to watch the figure from a distance. As such, she was definitely sure the young man in front of her was the same divine figure.
Moreover, there was also a rumor circulating in the upper realm that Lin Huang, the Destroyer of Realms, was actually born in the lower realm—not just any lower realm but the Seven Convergence Cloud World, the same lower world which Li Mei was from.
In the past, Li Mei had vehemently denied the rumor and even argued with her comrades for three days and nights. But looking at the scene just now, Li Mei unconsciously swallowed her saliva.
The terror that she felt when she first witnessed the Realm Destroyer in action returned and she hurriedly turned her head away.
Wang Chen, knowing that his newest disciple was actually a regressor from the upper realm, was keeping a close eye on her. As such, her strange reaction didn't escape his notice.
"Don't tell me Lin Huang becomes a powerhouse in the future... good! Good!"
This was good news. If Lin Huang could grow, that would mean he would also live past his measly lifespan of thirty-five years.
The next moment he shook his head. "Future is unpredictable. I better tread carefully. There is a possibility Li Mei might be imagining things."
Wang Chen was very familiar with the butterfly effect—a single flap could cause countless changes in the far future.
With this, his thoughts calmed down and he was able to calm down his racing heart and think straight.
The next moment, he chuckled leisurely and helped his youngest disciple get up. "Mei'er, get up and let me introduce yourself to your senior brother."
Hearing those words, Li Mei obediently got up and hesitantly looked in Lin Huang's direction.
Just then, Wang Chen spoke something which caused Li Mei to turn slightly pale.
"This is my eldest disciple, Lin Huang, as well as your senior brother from now on. He will tell you about the rules of the Phoenix and Dragon Dojo. Moreover, if you have any questions regarding cultivation..."
Wang Chen suddenly halted mid-speech as he remembered Li Mei's cultivation was actually higher than Lin Huang's.
So he turned to look at Lin Huang with a meaningful gaze and said, "Lin Huang, you better start working hard. Your junior sister is already at the peak of Qi Refining realm."
Lin Huang, who was looking calm and composed, suddenly had a change of expression after that revelation.
His eyes looking at Li Mei suddenly widened and immediately he sucked in a mouthful of cold air.
Indeed, he could not sense the cultivation of his junior sister.
Li Mei didn't care about the cultivation at all. This was definitely the Realm Destroyer Lin Huang in front of her. With his heaven-bending talent, it was just a matter of time before he left everyone behind in the dust.
However, Li Mei was confused by one thing: if he is Master's disciple, why haven't I heard anything about Master at all? His name should have also spread throughout the Nine Heavens for raising such a monster.
But there was not even a single mention about his name.
There had been many speculations as to who exactly was the teacher of the Realm Destroyer Lin Huang.
Some said he was the incarnation of the Heavens itself, while others said he was actually a reincarnation of an expert who existed beyond reality.
However, all of these theories were too far-fetched, but there was one theory which sounded somewhat believable.
According to it, Lin Huang was actually the disciple of the Dao Ancestor.
Although it sounded absurd as the Dao Ancestor itself was another legendary existence—according to rumor, it was the Dao Ancestor who taught all living beings how to cultivate—the difference in timeline between the Dao Ancestor's existence and Lin Huang was billions if not trillions of years. However, for some reason, everyone agreed to this theory.
"Maybe he still hasn't come in contact with the Dao Ancestor for now..."
Thinking up to this point, Li Mei's eyes flashed. A little confidence once again returned to her heart.
However, the next moment, another thought occurred to her which caused all color to drain from her face.
"Could it be the Dao Ancestor is monitoring him currently and evaluating whether he was suitable for apprenticeship?"
This possibility was very terrifying.
Just as her thoughts could spiral out of control, a gentle and soothing voice echoed in her ears. "Little Mei, Mei'er, are you alright? Your face looks so pale."
Hearing this, Lin Huang also looked at his junior sister in concern. Although his opinion of females had somewhat fallen after the incident with Ying Yue and the Ten Thousand Sword Sect, Li Mei was his junior sister. As a senior brother, it was his responsibility to take care of his juniors.
