Does anyone actually Believes That My Master Is A Mortal?

```

Misty Mountain, Wayless Sect.

In front of a newly built small kitchen, a table was placed.

Seated alone at the table, Chu Yuan was devouring his meal, guzzling down wine cup by cup.

The mana at the Qi Refinement Stage could not quickly dissipate the effects of alcohol.

This caused his cheeks to redden considerably.

Li Ergang stood cautiously to the side, eyeing the dishes on the table, ready to cook and replenish any that were running low.

For the moment, it seemed nothing would be missing.

So Li Ergang could only stand obediently.

Watching over the dishes, he also observed the Sect Master's expression.

For some reason, he had the impression that today's emerging Sect Master was in a somewhat unusual mood.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

There was a faint sense of loss…

It must be his imagination.

Li Ergang pondered deeply.

He briefly considered the sudden oppressive force that had appeared that day, which seemed to have been caused by a breakthrough of a Disciple of Wayless Sect.

If a disciple of the Wayless Sect achieved a breakthrough, how could the Sect Master possibly feel a sense of loss?

The Sect Master must be feeling happy, right?

Yes, certainly happy.

Pleased to see a disciple breakthrough and succeed!

But the Sect Master didn't know where to vent, needing to maintain his dignity, so he came to drink instead.

Purposely not using mana to mitigate the drunkenness, to experience the inebriated feeling.

This is what it means to be a Hidden Sect…

The Sect Master too is a man of emotion.

Li Ergang sighed deeply, having concocted an entire drama in his mind.

Just as he was wildly imagining scenarios.

A voice carried over.

"Ergang, come here."

It was the voice of the Sect Master.

Li Ergang jerked as if struck, hastily turning to look at Chu Yuan.

"Sect Master, what's the matter? Are the dishes a bit cold? Do you want me to heat them up for you?"

"Oh no, that's not right, Sect Master, how can you eat reheated food, I'll make you some fresh!"

Li Ergang turned and was about to enter the newly built small kitchen.

"Wait, I didn't call you to cook, come over here, sit in front of me and let's chat," Chu Yuan intercepted him.

Stay updated with empire

He pointed to the chair opposite him.

Indicating for Li Ergang to sit there.

Hearing this.

Li Ergang didn't dally, and promptly walked over to the chair and sat down.

His massive frame on the chair.

The chair immediately seemed to struggle, creaking under his weight.

"Sect Master,"

Li Ergang spoke in a hushed tone.

Sitting opposite him, Chu Yuan put down his wine cup and nodded slightly.

Then he turned his gaze to the brand-new small kitchen beside him.

It was clearly a recent construction.

"Hmm, you've worked hard, building such a kitchen; I've been neglectful, not having arranged a kitchen for you."

"You've done well."

Chu Yuan took a deep breath and spoke.

"It wasn't hard, not hard at all, it's all part of my duties," Li Ergang answered repeatedly.

"Hm, relax a bit, it's just a casual chat."

Realizing Li Ergang's restraint, Chu Yuan couldn't help but speak up with a smile.

It had to be said, the sight of a big fat man acting so careful was quite funny.

It helped to alleviate some of the fury in Chu Yuan's heart.

Hearing these words.

Li Ergang tried to relax his demeanor.

"So, Sect Master, what would you like to discuss?" Li Ergang asked.

"Tell me, how should one go about ruining a disciple?" Chu Yuan began slowly.

He held his chin with both hands, frowning in thought.

Zhang Han, that wretched disciple, and the backstab from his disciple Su Qianyuan had been settled.

His realm had fallen...

This was an unchangeable fact.

```

Settling accounts with these two disciples is necessary, but it can't be done now.

What's most important for him at the moment, in fact, is to find new disciples.

Strive to restore his realm within the next year.

As for how to find a truly useless disciple.

This left Chu Yuan deeply perplexed, feeling that there was something wrong with his thoughts.

Wasn't Ye Luo useless enough?

Born without a Spirit Root.

Yet he turned out to be a Physique Close to the Path and succeeded!

Zhang Han was useless enough, right?

His Spirit Root was destroyed by lightning.

But then it turned out he had some Innate Array Heart or something and still made it.

Su Qianyuan was even more outrageous.

Without a soul, he insisted he had some kind of revelation and, in the end, he too succeeded.

The three disciples he took on, all three deemed successful...

This made Chu Yuan deeply doubt his approach to taking disciples.

He then thought of asking Li Ergang.

To see if others' opinions could be of any help to him.

On the other side, Li Ergang was taken aback upon hearing these words.

He didn't understand why this Sect Master would ask him these questions.

But he didn't dare to inquire.

He could only try hard to think of how to respond.

After a good while,

Li Ergang finally came up with something to say.

"Sect Master, if you want to ruin a disciple, that should be very simple."

"I think just randomly pulling someone off the street, making them a disciple, giving them any cultivation technique, and not caring about anything, would naturally ruin them," said Li Ergang.

"Just pulling someone off the street? Picking someone with a Mortal Spirit Root or something? But aren't those capable of cultivation still able to succeed? What if, by bad luck, the disciple succeeds?"

Chu Yuan said, frowning.

"Sect Master, where is there such good fortune? If it's really so coincidental, wouldn't the world be swarming with geniuses?"

Li Ergang shook his head as he spoke.

At those words,

Chu Yuan frowned even more deeply.

Could it really be about trying one's luck?

Honestly, he wasn't keen on relying on luck.

It was too uncertain.

The reason he preferred taking on useless disciples rather than trying his luck was precisely because he was cautious and unwilling to take risks.

"But what if, by some misfortune, I do end up with a genius?"

"What I think is that I should find those who are useless, who are inherently useless without needing to be taught to be so," Chu Yuan voiced his thoughts.

At those words,

Li Ergang's eyes suddenly widened, and he slapped the table as he stood up.

"No, no, that won't do, this method won't work. Whilst what I said may have the chance of luck involved, what you're proposing, Sect Master, is out of the question," he exclaimed.

"Useless disciples are already as useless as they can be. Even if you make them more useless, how far can they possibly fall?"

"The useless are already the epitome of uselessness. They only have the potential to rise, no room to fall further!"

"It's better to take geniuses. Geniuses are the ones who are truly easy to ruin!"

Li Ergang forgot all about rank and convention.

He was purely engaged in the debate, speaking his mind openly.

Chu Yuan, listening on the side, was struck by a revelation.

Damn...

This Li Ergang is making sense.

Useless disciples are inherently useless!

They have no room to fall, only space to rise!

Moreover, with his current situation, it was as if he'd been cursed.

The more useless the disciple, the faster they become powerful…

Instead of that, better to take on genius disciples!!

Genius disciples have strong talents, are definitely prone to wild thoughts, and are the easiest to ruin!

Chu Yuan suddenly saw the light.

Indeed, his approach all this time had been wrong.

That was what led to taking on three disastrous disciples!!

Luckily!

Luckily, it wasn't too late to wake up; there was still a chance to remedy the situation.

Chu Yuan's eyes lit up.

I get it!!!
