Upon hearing these three words, Yang Chen was taken aback and exclaimed,
“What? Zhang Xuelian?”
Seeing Yang Chen mention Zhang Xuelian’s name directly, the Yanhua Pool Master’s eyebrows raised, and she quickly understood, saying, “As I thought, young friend Yang Chen, you do know our former pool master. It seems I was right to look for you.”
Her tone had subtly changed, switching from addressing him as ‘you’ to the more respectful ‘you.’
This was inevitable because if Yang Chen was indeed Zhang Xuelian’s chosen man, it was appropriate for her to address him with the respectful term reserved for elders.
However, Yang Chen kept calling her senior.
This was too confusing.
Yang Chen noticed that there was a close connection between Zhang Xuelian and Yanhua Pool, and that the Pool Master seemed to have approached him because of some connection with Zhang Xuelian.
This made Yang Chen furrow his eyebrows and his expression gradually turned serious, “Senior Cao, what is the relation between Zhang Xuelian and Yanhua Pool? What does your summons have to do with Zhang Xuelian?”
In fact, he should have called Zhang Xuelian senior.
At first, he had no particular feelings toward Zhang Xuelian, but after seeing her generous actions, he knew that she was a cold-hearted but warm-hearted woman, and his opinion of her changed considerably.
Such a woman was a real waste as a senior.
However, he was still very wary of women. Looking at the Yanhua Pool Master, he still had a guarded heart.
The Yanhua Pool Master knew about Yang Chen’s somewhat doubtful mentality and spoke calmly, “Yang Chen, to be honest, do you know that a long time ago, our Yanhua Pool in North Mountain County was just a third-rate force? We were far behind the colossal Six Sects. To be precise, back then, the Six Sects were actually just Five Sects!”
“Oh?” Yang Chen couldn’t help but listen carefully.
The Yanhua Pool Master smiled and continued, “At that time, our Yanhua Pool was weak, and we could only survive by relying on the Five Sects. However, even then, the Yanhua Pool was weak and often bullied. This situation only changed when Zhang Xuelian joined the Yanhua Pool.”
“Back then, Ancestor Master Zhang Xuelian was nothing more than an ordinary martial artist. Apart from her outstanding beauty, no one was particularly interested in her as a martial artist from the Great Wilderness. No one thought that Ancestor Master Zhang Xuelian would have an extraordinary talent and achievements. Who would have thought that relying on her own talent and excellent abilities, she would reach the Origin Martial Realm in a short time, and reach the True Martial Realm within a few decades…”
Yang Chen was stunned.
Reaching the True Martial Realm within decades?
Zhang Xuelian’s talent was unexpectedly high.
You should know that reaching the True Martial Realm within a few decades meant that Zhang Xuelian was only in her forties or fifties when she reached the True Martial Realm. Now, at over 300 years old, how far had she advanced? It was difficult to imagine and estimate.
Zhang Xuelian, when mentioning this, was also full of excitement and emotion, “It was precisely because of Ancestor Master Zhang Xuelian’s terrifying talent that our Yanhua Pool gradually emerged from being a third -rate force. With Ancestor Master Zhang Xuelian’s True Martial Realm strength, we were able to stand alongside the Five Sects and become known as the Six Sects!”
“That era was the most glorious era for our Yanhua Pool. Not to mention the
Six Sects, even the Beishan Main City had to give some face to Ancestor Master Zhang Xuelian. Unfortunately, a small North Mountain County couldn’t confine a peerless figure like our Ancestor Master.”
Speaking of this, the Yanhua Pool Master sighed lightly, “More than two hundred years ago, our Ancestor Master left the Yanhua Pool. Even so, the blessings she left behind for future generations have made our Yanhua Pool still extremely prosperous within the Six Sects. However, it is now as difficult as climbing to heaven to reach the same level as our Ancestor Master did in her time.”
Yang Chen stroked his chin, not expecting Zhang Xuelian to have such a story in North Mountain County.
He became even more curious about this extraordinary woman, “Senior Cao, do you know where Zhang Xuelian is now?”
“How would I know? When our Ancestor Master left, I was just an ordinary female disciple who had just joined the Sect. If it hadn’t been for some accidents during the Pool Master selection process, I might not have had the chance to become the Yanhua Pool Master.”
This Madam Cao was quite straightforward, not avoiding mentioning her past at all.
This made Yang Chen secretly shake his head. He thought he could find out something, but he ended up knowing nothing.
After thinking about it, Yang Chen said, “Well, anyway, Senior Cao, you must have called me here for a reason, not just to tell me all this. Moreover, how did your Yanhua Pool find out about my connection with Zhang Xuelian?
It doesn’t make sense. In theory, even if Zhang Xuelian was the Ancestor Master of Yanhua Pool, she had already left, so how did the Yanhua Pool find out about his business with Zhang Xuelian?
“Hehe, if you want to know, young friend Yang Chen, you’ll have to come and be our guest at Yanhua Pool for a few days. Anyway, there are still ten days until the next round of the knockout competition, and our Yanhua Pool is only a day’s journey from Beishan Main City. What do you think, Yang Chen, my friend?” The Yanhua Pool Master didn’t reveal her intentions directly, just laughing.
Upon hearing this, Yang Chen thought for a moment and then nodded,
“Alright!”
Yanhua Pool had no ill intentions towards him, and most importantly, with his current status, Yanhua Pool would not dare to harm him.
“Young Sect Master!”
As Yang Chen agreed to the Yanhua Pool Master’s invitation, the voices of the two elders suddenly appeared. Yang Chen glanced at the two people.
Weren’t these two the elders who had brought him the Storage Bag earlier today?
Upon finding Yang Chen, the two of them didn’t care that they were in the gathering place of Yanhua Pool and bowed, “Young Sect Master, we greet you!”
“The two of you… what should I call you!” Yang Chen asked after thinking for a moment. “I am Yun Wenjie!”
“I am Hu Meng!”
Upon hearing this, Yang Chen nodded, “Elder Yun, Elder Hu. What brings you here…”
“To be honest, we were ordered by the Sect Master to protect the Young Sect Master. I don’t know what the Young Sect Master plans on doing next? If you need our help, we are willing to serve you!” The two of them didn’t beat around the bush or try to be indirect when they spoke.
Yang Chen couldn’t help but smile bitterly, “I’m going to the Yanhua Pool, so you two can just come along with me.”
It wasn’t that he didn’t trust Yanhua Pool not to harm him, but since these two people were wholeheartedly trying to protect him, he couldn’t disappoint them. Besides, his current status was indeed different from before. It was inevitable that some people who couldn’t make it to the stage would be eyeing him.
Although he was not afraid, having a few helpers was quite in line with his identity as the Young Sect Master..
