Chapter 009: Little Witch

To this end, the master could not withstand her persistent persuasion, and thus entrusted her with the supervisory authority of the Tai Fu Sect, granting her full power to oversee the disciples' cultivation. Anyone who dared to neglect their training would face her "slight" disciplinary actions. Consequently, over time, others began to refer to her as the "Little Witch." Indeed, Tianfan felt it was quite unfair for her, as she had become the "Little Witch" who astonished the entire sect.

This place is originally a region in the northern part of the Divine Martial Continent, where there are four sects: the Tai Fu Sect, the Fist King Sect, the Flying Sword Sect, and the Yin Yang Sect. Every two years, these four sects hold a competition for their young disciples, ostensibly to exchange martial skills, but in reality, it is a display of the strength of each sect

Tian Fan was momentarily taken aback after hearing Li Yunyang's words: "No way!"

Recalling the earlier situation, Tianfan indeed remembered someone saying this, and their expression seemed somewhat unnatural, as if they were a bit afraid. This left him quite puzzled, not understanding why these people had suddenly become so anxious.

Hehe, how could that be? Under your guidance, Junior Sister, who would dare to not take their cultivation seriously? Whoever does not take their cultivation seriously, I, Li Yunyang, will be the first to not let them off!

That disciple had a face full of "fatigue," yet still spoke loudly, his eyes sparkling with brilliance. Tianfan was speechless; if one did not know better, they would definitely think this fellow was very serious, diligent, and earnest.

Haha, well, Junior Sister, you are back, haha... Upon realizing that his trick had been uncovered, Li Yunyang immediately stood up and positioned himself beside the woman in yellow, grinning sheepishly.

What are you doing?" Tianfan found his strange behavior very puzzling, so he asked.

In the main hall of the Tai Fu Gate, the middle-aged sect leader, who had just moments ago appeared dignified and solemn, now wore a sly grin on his face, surprisingly huddled together with his old trickster junior disciple. Where in his words was there any semblance of the authority befitting a supreme sect leader?

You also know that soon, our Tai Fu Sect will have a competition among the youth with the King of Fighters Sect, the Flying Sword Sect, and the Yin Yang Sect, so we must train diligently and cannot afford to lose face again

"What is wrong with you?" Tian Fan asked, looking at Li Yunyang, unable to understand what could have caused this man to be so fearful.

I have observed everyone's diligent practice, and I will report this to the Supreme Master. Without further ado, during this period, your meals will certainly see a significant increase! This will ensure that everyone has ample energy for training, allowing us to bring honor to the Tai Fu Sect in the upcoming four rounds of martial arts.

After Tian Fan exited the main hall of the Tai Fu Gate, he wore a face full of gloom. He was extremely displeased. Upon returning to his residence, he noticed a Li Yunyang hiding inside, wide-eyed and cautiously watching the outside.

No, actually... he wanted to explain, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted again. The woman in yellow had already seen Li Yunyang sitting cross-legged on the bed

"Have you been slacking off and not practicing all this time?" The woman in the yellow dress placed her hands on her hips and scolded Li Yunyang.

Everyone was about to leave, but at that moment, Li Yunyang stepped forward, blocking the crowd with a serious expression: "No one is allowed to leave!"

Li Yunyang spoke with righteous indignation, saying in Tianfan's eyes, that can be summed up in one word: "cheap"

Look at the disciple in the east, who is fiercely striking the humanoid wooden dummy with his fists. Blood even appears on his fingers, yet he remains completely unconcerned, not even furrowing his brow. However, when the ordinary person turns their gaze over, they see this.

"Brother, don't be skeptical, you ... ... " At that moment, a clear sound resembling a cuckoo's call came from outside: "Li Yunyang, come out here!"

"Um, I am, I am just arriving." Tianfan thought for half a day but did not know how to respond; he certainly did not want to admit that he was the apprentice of that old swindler

"Let’s go to the training ground..." The woman in yellow said to Li Yunyang and Tianfan, and then she walked towards the training ground she mentioned. The two had no choice but to follow her.

Ah, the junior sister has finally left

Senior sister, I am not tired; I want to continue my cultivation and bring glory to the Tai Fu Sect

Everyone has worked hard. Yun, you should take a break; your hands are bleeding. The woman in the yellow dress said to the disciple whose hands appeared to be smeared with what looked like tomato juice.

He muttered in confusion, almost unable to voice his thoughts; this kid is quite ruthless. However, when he looked in another direction, he immediately felt like spitting out his food, as he was actually practicing "spitting blood".

The woman in the yellow robe said, urging Li Yunyang to instruct all the disciples to continue their cultivation. After that, she left, and it was obvious that she was going to report to the sect leader about the diligence and hard work of the Tai Fu Sect disciples. Once the supervising official departed, all the disciples immediately felt a sense of relief and let out a sigh.

Looking at his appearance, the old Daoist chuckled and said, "Senior brother, mind your image; you are the supreme leader of our Tai Fu Sect"

Li Yunyang immediately wore a mournful expression and said, "Brother, you have no idea. The 'little witch' that people talk about is the only granddaughter of the current headmaster. The headmaster dotes on her immensely, and we have suffered quite a bit at her hands"

"I said, brother, you just went all the way to Tai Fu Gate and then came back, right? Did you see anything strange, or did you encounter any unusual people?" Li Yunyang said while observing Tianfan and keeping an eye on the situation outside the door, his face filled with vigilance

Upon hearing Tian Fan's words, Li Yunyang's face turned pale as if something terrifying had occurred

His words not only stunned the disciples training here for a moment, but even Tian Fan was taken aback. Through these past few days of interaction, he had come to know that this guy was both lazy and slippery. Why was he so serious at this moment? What was he planning to do?

Who are you?

Tian Fan does not believe that Li Yunyang is someone who "does not know how to resist"; how could she possibly be bullied? Moreover, she is a girl

Cold

The master of the Tai Fu Sect is truly exceptionally talented. If anyone from *Tu* *Shu* were to witness such a master of the Tai Fu Sect here, they would probably give themselves a hard slap on the face, then wonder if their eyes were deceiving them, thinking they were experiencing an illusion

There is nothing, oh, by the way, it seems I heard someone say that the 'little witch' has returned, what is going on

The junior sister has left, let us also take a rest and attend to our own matters

"Just arrived, is he Li Yunyang's junior disciple?" The woman in yellow said after hearing Tianfan's response

In previous competitions, the Tai Fu Sect consistently ranked last among the four major sects. The sect leader of Tai Fu showed little reaction, accepting the situation as it was. However, his granddaughter was not willing to accept this and was determined that, no matter what, she could not allow the sect to finish last in the next competition

Li Yunyang, stop pretending and get up!

As soon as the words of the woman in yellow fell, two disciples immediately rushed over to support the senior brother Liu as he walked outside. While walking out, Senior Brother Liu displayed an expression of unwillingness, which made Tianfan feel quite exasperated. The granddaughter of the Supreme Leader is truly quite naive.

Those sects are so powerful, how could we possibly win

Upon hearing this sentence, Li Yunyang reacted as if he were a mouse confronted by a cat. Tianfan, witnessing his expression, felt both surprised and amused. Just imagine, he dared to confront his old trickster master at the peak of Yuntian, yet now, merely hearing the voice of a girl, he appeared as frightened as a thief caught by an officer

Upon seeing Tianfan return, he pulled him inside with a swift motion and then closed the door, leaving Tianfan with a look of confusion and a sense of the extraordinary.

Under Tian Fan's strange gaze, he suddenly jumped onto the wooden bed, winked at Tian Fan, and then sat cross-legged.

The middle-aged sect leader, however, was quite dismissive. With a wave of his large sleeves, he said, "It's nothing, junior brother. Don't you know my temperament? The so-called authority of a sect leader is just a facade; we are all human. Why bother with such things? To be human is to drink heartily and eat meat generously"

At that moment, a young woman dressed in a yellow silk robe hurried in. She appeared to be around seventeen or eighteen years old, slightly younger than Tian Fan. Although she was not exceptionally beautiful, she was still a rare beauty. Upon entering, she noticed Tian Fan standing in the room. She had seen all the disciples of the Tai Fu Sect, but now she found someone she did not recognize, so she asked.

Why does that blood look so much like tomato juice

Tian Fan had to admit that this woman in yellow truly had her ways, but upon receiving the news of her return, these lazy disciples instantly became so "diligent".

As they journeyed along, Tianfan surprisingly did not notice anyone sunbathing on the road. When they arrived at the so-called training ground, they were astonished to see a room full of disciples in green robes diligently practicing their skills.

Indeed, where there is a senior disciple, there must be a junior disciple. The leader of the Taimen sect is, in comparison to Li Yunyang's master, truly exceptional, surpassing him in every aspect.

Indeed, such training is exhausting

... ...

Ah, Brother Liu, although cultivation requires diligence, it should not be excessive, as it can easily lead to deviation. Someone, quickly assist Brother Liu to rest.
