But, the Xinfaxian Sect disciples didn't see anything. Only Li Tian, Feng Mo and Lei Qing can see the people inside the pavilion. Even if some of the Xinfaxian Sect disciples have the same cultivation level, or even higher than, with Cheng Sheng, but they can't underestimate Cheng Sheng's ability to draw qi from the surroundings to use with his talismans, magic spells, and also spells.

With just this, the disciples couldn't even compare with Cheng Sheng even if Cheng Sheng's cultivation is lower than theirs.

Fei Yinzi was about to speak, saying that his master isn't there when he realized that his master is good in making formations. So, he realized that his master must have casted a concealing barrier around the pavilion. So, only Li Tian, Feng Mo and Lei Qing can see the people inside, and that's why Li Tian spoke earlier, calling Cheng Sheng's name.

Xie Lan woke from his daze and erased the barrier surrounding the pavilion, revealing Cheng Sheng, Fan Wen, Chen Jing, Wu Fan and himself. "Xiao Tian. Xiao Mo. Xiao Qing. You've returned." Xie Lan spoke and smiled.

Fei Yinzi's mouth fell open in shock when he saw his master. "Shizun…" he muttered under his breath as he looked at Cheng Sheng in a daze. How long was it since he last saw his master? But, Li Tian patted him awake. It was then that he remembered that there were elders present around them. "Oh. Greetings, Xie-shigong, Fan-shigong, elder Chen and elder Wu!" he said and bowed.

"Greetings, elders!" the other Xinfaxian Sect disciples bowed and greeted.

"What a lively bunch, as always!" Chen Jing laughed seeing the Xinfaxian Sect disciples brimming with youthfulness. He can't help but remember the past, when Cheng Sheng, Fei Yin, Li Tian, Feng Mo, Lei Ling, Lei Qing and You Rou were still disciples.

As if thinking the same, Wu Fan, Xie Lan, Fan Wen, and even Li Tian, Feng Mo and Lei Qing smile as they suddenly reminisced the past.

"Of course! They are our children!" Xie Lan said with a proud face as he pulled Fan Wen to him, which made Fan Wen blush.

Li Tian, Feng Mo and Lei Qing smiled as they approached. "Founder. Shifu. We have returned." They said and bowed. "Elder Chen. Elder Wu." They greeted.

"Huh? Xiao Tian. Xiao Mo. Xiao Qing. Where are xiao Ling and xiao Rou?" Fan Wen asked when he saw that two of his disciples are missing.

"Shifu. Ah Ling was taken away by Jing Kang." Lei Qing answered and helplessly smiled when she remembered Jing Kang's stinky expression earlier when he took Lei Ling away, leaving Lei Ling's disciple, Wen Wen, to them.

"Shimei was taken away by elder Qian Tian." Feng Mo answered and grinned when he remembered Qian Tian's bashful expression earlier and how he shyly held You Rou's hand when he invited her and then left with her.

Qian Tian has first met You Rou during the previous Intersect Competition, where she fell off the stage and Qian Tian happened to pass by, then caught her. But, he still hasn't fallen in love with her at that time. It can be said that they were only acquaintances. The time that Qian Tian has fell in love with her can be said has happened five years ago, during the battle against Wu Ran where Qian Tian has supported her and helped her from miscellaneous tasks up to protecting her. During the past five years, he is wooing her. Qian Shan and Qian Su also liked You Rou as their daughter-in-law because not only was she filial to her family, polite and courteous to other people, but she is also hardworking and is selfless. Not to mention she is gentle and pretty, an ideal woman of the men. Qian Lin also supports his elder brother, since he knows that the Xinfaxian Sect is a loving family. His elder brother definitely wouldn't regret choosing her.

"Aiyo. That Jing Kang brat really repressed himself during these last five months since xiao Ling accompanied Er Zi, and also has to train more his disciple Wen Wen." Xie Lan spoke. "Xiao Ling has his hands full. But, that Jing Kang brat repressing himself shows that he is very considerate." He said.

Fan Wen nodded in agreement and smiled. "Qian Tian, too." He spoke. "Sect leader Qian's son definitely wouldn't let our xiao Rou down." He said.

Chen Jing and Wu Fan nodded, uttering praises for Jing Kang and Qian Tian.

"Shizun…" Fei Yinzi called as he stared at Cheng Sheng not even blinking for one second since he is afraid that Cheng Sheng would disappear on him again, and this time, he would never come back.

Cheng Sheng slowly turned, then smiled. He raised his hand to Fei Yinzi's head, as if he is going to pat his head. "That's 'shifu' to you!" he told him and hit him instead.

"OW!" Fei Yinzi cried and held his head with both hands as he squatted. Tears formed in the corners of his eyes and he raised his head to look at Cheng Sheng. His eyes are filled with grievance.

He is the exact picture of pitiful.

"Ai! Xiao Sheng! Why did you hit Er Zi!" Fan Wen exclaimed while Feng Mo and Lei Qing immediately pulled Fei Yinzi back, away from Cheng Sheng – his master.

"He's being disrespectful again." Cheng Sheng answered and sipped his drink.

"Woah… Cheng-shibo's hair is really so white like snow!" Wen Wen exclaimed as he hid behind Feng Mo and stood beside his elder brother Wen Yan.

Cui Xiao heard what he said and nodded in agreement. Her cheeks are flushed as she stared at Cheng Sheng. "C – Cheng… Cheng-shibo is very beautiful… like a painting…" she said in a small voice.

Cui Xiang heard what her younger twin sister said and smiled. She couldn't agree more as she looked at Cheng Sheng. It's as if they are looking at an ethereal painting.

Su Yi thought about it. "I heard that Cheng-shishu's hair turned white when he fell into his second coma." He spoke. "Then, when he woke up again, he left the sect to find Fei-shibo…" his voice trailed off and he covered his mouth when he saw that his master Li Tian glared at him and hit his back with his fan. Su Yi almost yelped out in pain, but he held it in.

Although his master looked so gentle like a scholar but he is secretly… mn. Better not to say it. That's why he very admires Chen Han for falling in love with Li Tian.

"Well, how was your registration?" Xie Lan asked as they all walked out of the pavilion, going to the dining area to eat lunch.

"There are so many people! And they all looked strong!" Zhu Xi answered.

Wen Yan nodded. "I can't wait to spar with them!" he said.

"… Wen Yan-shidi, the next time you'll meet them is on the battle stage. You will fight them." Su Mi spoke. "And that time, you should definitely win against them, so continue to strive harder to be stronger!" she told him.

Wen Yan nodded. "Shijie is right. I'll definitely train harder to be stronger!" he answered.

Xie Lan and Fan Wen smiled, satisfied with their grand-disciples' answers. Li Tian, Feng Mo and Lei Qing secretly sighed in relief, worried that Xie Lan and Fan Wen might be disappointed in case they would find their disciples lacking in aptitude.

Meanwhile, Fei Yinzi isn't paying attention to them. His whole attention is on his master who is walking in front of them and is beside Chen Jing, conversing with Chen Jing and Wu Fan.

"S – shizun…" Fei Yinzi called. I miss you. He thought as he raised his hand to try touching even just Cheng Sheng's sleeve. But, as soon as he was about to grab it, it slipped out of his hands.

It's just like the one who is wearing it. He is always out of his reach. And every time he was about to reach him, he would slip away…

"Huh? Er Zi, are you okay?" he heard Wen Wen call. "You look pale." Wen Wen said and stopped to wait for him when he saw him not following them.

"… I'm fine." Fei Yinzi answered as he tried to fix his expression. He turned to look at Wen Wen and forced a smile. "I'm fine." He told him.

Wen Wen stared at him for a long time. Then, he suddenly frowned, which made Fei Yinzi surprised.

"Wen Wen?" Fei Yinzi called, puzzled.

Wen Wen is gentle, and even timid, like his master Lei Ling. He also has seen Wen Wen always smiling, or sometimes crying, but he never saw him frown or express his anger and frustration. He never saw him this upset.

"Wen Wen, I should be asking you that." He spoke. "Do you feel ill – " he said.

Wen Wen cut him off as his eyes reddened, and tears formed in the corners of his eyes. "Er Zi… you are upset." He told him.
