Does anyone actually Believes That My Master Is A Mortal?

In Yunzhou.

Inside a private room of a tavern in a mundane city.

Zhang Han had ordered a tableful of commonplace wine and dishes, leisurely savoring them, reminiscing about the days when he was considered useless.

From time to time, his face showed a hint of sentimentality.

Of course, sentimentality was one thing.

But when Zhang Han saw the figure opposite him, frenziedly eating and drinking, he couldn't help but show an expression of helplessness.

"I'm not trying to be mean, but if you're going to follow me, can you not scrounge off my meals?"

"This common food is of no use to you anyway."

Zhang Han said helplessly.

The one sitting opposite him was none other than the Ninety-Seventh Son of the Dragon Monarch, Ao Yu.

A few days ago, this guy suddenly showed up before him, begging to be taken in, saying his father, the Dragon Monarch, wanted to chop his head off.

Asking Zhang Han to shelter him.

In a moment of bewilderment, Zhang Han more or less took him in reluctantly.

Originally, Zhang Han had planned to shelter him for just a few days and be done with it.

He hadn't expected this guy to shamelessly stick to him like a burr.

No matter how he tried, he couldn't get rid of him.

Ao Yu sitting opposite remained unmoved, continuing to devour the food and drink on the table.

"Though this mundane food is useless, it satiates cravings, and there's nothing else to eat around here,"

Ao Yu said, seemingly completely unashamed.

"So when do you plan on leaving?"

Zhang Han couldn't help but ask again.

"Leave? No, no! If I leave, my father will definitely kill me."

Ao Yu's head shook like a rattle drum.

"Surely it can't be that bad, after all, you are the Dragon Monarch's own son."

Zhang Han sighed and said.

"It's exactly that bad. You don't understand. My eldest brother was treated as an accomplice by my father, and for such a minor role, he was thrown into the Trapped Dragon Prison. If I, the main offender, get caught, I'm finished,"

Ao Yu said with a shiver.

"Finished? They can't possibly kill you, right?"

Zhang Han raised an eyebrow and said.

"Well, they wouldn't go that far, but our Silver Sky River Dragon Manor is currently undertaking a big breeding plan, and if I'm caught, I'm absolutely certain my father will use my pure dragon blood as breeding stock."

The thought of being caught and used for breeding with all sorts of the Demon Race made Ao Yu shudder uncontrollably.

Going back was out of the question.

He would rather die than go back.

Staying by Zhang Han's side was the only sense of security.

After all, Zhang Han was capable of defeating his own father, who would also show some respect to him.

Besides Zhang Han, Ao Yu couldn't think of anyone else who could offer him shelter.

Given the Dragon Monarch's status within the Demon Race, fleeing anywhere would be futile unless he sought refuge in the Human Race.

But entering the Human Race territory, the humans would not welcome a member of the Demon Race.

So he had no choice but to seek out Zhang Han.

Upon hearing this.

Zhang Han shook his head with a smile, not knowing what to say.

Forget it.

If he wants to follow, let him follow.

After all, he was training himself in Yunzhou, and it wasn't a big deal to let this guy tag along.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Thinking thus, Zhang Han didn't bother to say more and picked up a cup of turbid wine, ready to drink it down.

Just at that moment.

Outside the inn, a golden flying sword from who knows where flew in, entering the private room where Zhang Han was.

"Hmm?"

Zhang Han looked towards the flying sword, raising his eyebrows slightly.

The sword was imbued with the aura of his eldest senior brother from his sect.

He reached out his palm and caught the flying sword.

Upon touching it, the sword immediately transformed into streaks of light and dissipated.

A stream of information then entered his mind. Find adventures at empire

Details of the upcoming contest and the message from his Respected Master summoning him back to the sect unfolded before him.

Zhang Han closed his eyes, carefully digesting the information about the "upcoming contest."

Ao Yu, watching this, couldn't help but take a closer look.

"What's the matter? That flying sword just now, it was for message delivery, right? What happened?"

Ao Yu asked, brimming with curiosity.

"It's nothing much, but now you have no choice but to go back since I have to leave Yunzhou and return to the sect,"

Zhang Han slowly opened his eyes, looked at Ao Yu, and spoke.

"You're returning to the sect? Can't I come along?"

Ao Yu suddenly felt the drumstick in his hand lose its flavor.

"Otherwise, do you want to come back to the sect with me?"

Zhang Han rolled his eyes and said.

Ao Yu didn't speak anymore, put down the chicken leg in his hand, and fell into deep thought.

Zhang Han naturally did not bother with him, continuing to learn about the news of the 'Grand Competition of All Sects'.

A competition that gathered all the powerful sects of the continent...

It was also a grand event for the entire continent's Cultivation Realm; if one could participate in this level of competition and achieve a certain rank,

their prestige would definitely greatly increase.

Could it be...

Could it be that the Respected Master wants to announce his inheritance of the Sect Master position in front of everyone at this event?!

It's possible!

The Respected Master probably feels he is about to ascend.

And he doesn't know how else to quickly improve his disciple's prestige.

Simply have him participate in the Grand Competition of All Sects to boost his reputation!

Then, take the opportunity to pass on the position to him!

That's the way it is!!

Moreover, according to the information, the big senior brother, as well as the third senior brother and fourth senior sister, are all going to participate.

It must also be the Respected Master's intent for the fellow disciples to support him becoming the Sect Master of the Wayless Sect.

To prevent any internal strife within the sect after the Respected Master's ascension.

Yes, that's exactly it.

Respected Master, your disciple understands!

Zhang Han's eyes shone brightly.

As if he had already envisioned himself sitting on that Sect Master's throne.

Let's go, let's go, let's hurry back to the sect.

Zhang Han was so excited, he stood up ready to leave.

"Wait, wait!"

Ao Yu called out to Zhang Han.

"What now? Is there anything else? Forget it, forget it. If you're really worried about your father, I can go and speak to him now before I leave Yunzhou, can't I?"

Zhang Han turned around and said somewhat helplessly.

"No, no, no, even if you do talk to him, once you leave, he will still punish me,"

Ao Yu said, shaking his head.

"So what do you want? To come back to the sect with me?"

Zhang Han was also at his wits' end.

This guy is really annoying.

He couldn't actually bring this guy back with him, could he?

"Can I really come back with you to the sect?"

Ao Yu asked tentatively.

As soon as he said this,

Zhang Han's eyes widened.

This guy really dares to think.

Return with him to the sect?

To bring a monster from the Demon Race back to the sect?

That's not right...

It seems it could work.

After all, he is the future Sect Master.

Having a dragon as a mount.

That seems pretty normal, right?

Riding a dragon...

It does seem pretty imposing.

Zhang Han's eyes lit up, staring straight at Ao Yu.

Ao Yu, who was about to say something, suddenly felt a chill in his heart, sensing a hint of danger.

"Ahem, Ao Yu, come here,"

Zhang Han walked up and wrapped his arm around Ao Yu, subtly activating his mana as if afraid that Ao Yu might run away.

"Hm? What's up?"

Ao Yu's sense of unease grew stronger.

"Tell me, are we not brothers?"

"We two? You're in the same generation as my dad; if you and I became brothers, wouldn't that unnecessarily lower you a generation?"

"Ahem, never mind that, just tell me, are we or are we not brothers?"

"Since you've put it that way, of course we are!"

"Then how about you transform into a dragon and let me have a ride?"

Ao Yu: "..."

So you said all that just to ride me??
