Chapter 421
Keira’s pupils shrank slightly at the sight of the familiar figure in the photo.
….
“Isn’t that my Master?”
She immediately froze, then looked toward James, suddenly recalling his words.
“The eldest senior sister started her apprenticeship at fifteen, practicing martial arts every day for two hours with the Sect Leader…
“The eldest senior sister grew up in a rough environment, used to getting beaten, and developed a strong physique…
“The Sect Leader went on a study journey for three years and returned a few years ago, saying that when the eldest senior sister turned twenty-three, she would return to Freeman Sect…
“Master also said that when she turned twenty-three and graduated from university, he would go to fetch her.”
So…
“Have I been kept in the dark all this time?
“The Freeman Sect’s eldest senior sister is me?!”
Keira slowly turned to look at James again…
Thinking about how every time she competed in the Freeman Sect, she was always terrified of losing, but it seemed like she always won quite easily…
Keira couldn’t help but slap her forehead.
The first day she met the Sect Leader, she had a vague sense of familiarity. How could she not have thought of this possibility?
The cooperation with Freeman Sect was handed to her on a silver platter!
James watched her behavior, puzzled, and said, “Sister, do you think the Sect Leader just now looked ugly? Actually, he’s quite handsome…”
Kate then said, “I don’t know what’s wrong with the Sect Leader. Why does he keep crying!”
Chris added. “Keera, you should prepare yourself. Come tomorrow to become a disciple officially. I’ll accept you as an Inner Sect Disciple!”
Upon hearing this, James was stunned. “What? Master, wasn’t it supposed to be as a nominal disciple?”
Trevor looked at Keira with a face full of joy. “Of course not. With her talent, she must be an Inner Sect Disciple!”
James was dumbfounded.
He and Kate escorted Keira out of the building.
On the way, the two whispered to each other.
James said, “I suddenly remembered something. When Master sparred with Keera, didn’t she push him back several steps with a single punch?”
Kate nodded. “My dad finally did something human-like, knowing to go easy on Keera! But isn’t accepting her as an Inner Sect Disciple a bit too much?”
James rubbed his chin. “Master must have decided to give Keera some reward because of me. Let’s make do with Inner Sect Disciple, then. The main concern is that if others found out, they might become jealous and constantly challenge Keera to a fight!”
Indeed, within the Freeman Sect, there was a rule forbidding striking one’s elders, and the hierarchy was strict.
But there was still a way around it, which was to issue a challenge!
If the other party agreed, then they could arrange a match in the Martial Arts Hall.
Those with minor grievances typically resolved their issues this way.
If Keera became an Inner Sect Disciple, it would undoubtedly cause unrest among the Outer Sect Disciples and even some hardworking Inner Sect Disciples, who might then all issue her challenges.
Should she accept, or should she not?
Kate also began to worry. “Dad was always measured in his actions. Originally, he agreed on her being a nominal disciple. How did it turn into Inner Sect Disciple?! But there’s an old saying, ‘Where there’s a will, there’s a way!’ Maybe Dad was just testing her just now and got excited by the hunt. Keira is indeed very capable!”
James coughed, pulling a face. “Impossible. Do you think everyone is the eldest senior sister? Becoming an Inner Sect Disciple at this age is just for fitness and martial arts. She won’t become a peerless master.”
The two chatted and left, but as they walked, they suddenly felt something was amiss.
Kate suddenly asked, “Did we forget something?”
James held her hand. “I also feel something’s not right…”
The two exchanged a glance, then suddenly turned around, only to find that the sister who was supposed to be behind them had disappeared!
James was dumbfounded.
So was Kate.
Keira did it on purpose. She avoided the two of them and then headed toward the courtyard where the Sect Leader lived.
Now that she knew it was her Master, of course, she had to go and meet him.
Freeman Sect was vast, so she searched for a long time, finally finding the place James had taken her to last time. Then she quietly pushed the door open and sneaked into the courtyard.
She slowly made her way toward the room where the Sect Leader was.
In the room, Trevor’s tears just wouldn’t stop. The talk about his junior disciple stirred up his sorrows again.
Trevor, crying and complaining, took a tissue and fiercely wiped his nose; his swollen features, which were hard to look at, immediately swelled even more. Holding a boiled egg, he applied it to his eyes to give them some relief—the swelling was so severe he could barely see!
Just then, the door opened.
Trevor said lazily, “Who is it? Didn’t I say not to disturb me? Leave!”
How could he show himself in this state! Especially since he used to brag about the eldest senior sister in Freeman Sect, causing all the Inner Sect Disciples to know that praising the eldest senior sister would make the Sect Leader happy!
So, almost everyone he met every day had to mention the junior disciple, needlessly increasing his sorrow!
While the Sect Leader was mulling over this, the person who entered the room didn’t speak.
He knitted his brows.
Only then did he realize the footsteps of the person entering the room were very light. Was that a capable martial practitioner?
Trevor immediately took the egg off his eyes and then stared with eyes that could barely make out shapes, looking toward the person standing at the door.
And little by little, he recognized the face of Keira.
Keira looked at him and said, “Master, long time no see.”
Trevor was dumbfounded.
