The Supreme Sword Master
Tang Ye was slightly surprised by Master Zhang’s sudden decision to take Xiao Yu’er as his disciple, but he quickly came to an understanding. Master Zhang had probably done so because of him, or perhaps it was because of that ‘master’ of his that stood behind him. When he thought up to here, Tang Ye felt every more curious towards this so-called master of his. Because not only were the elders of the Sword Sect extremely fearful of his so-called master, even a Earth Talisman Master was so fearful of his ‘master’. Could it be that he’s a Spirit Talisman Master? Or perhaps a Heaven Talisman Master? Right when Tang Ye was contemplating, Master Zhang who’d left moment ago had returned once more with two sets of dark golden robed and two small boxes. Master Zhang placed the robes and boxes on the stone table before he gazed at Tang Ye and Xiao Yu’er and said, “This is the uniform and badge of our association. Remember, if you lose your badge, then you must get a placement as soon as possible, otherwise, the association and the Grand Qin Empire won’t recognize your identity as a Talisman Master!” As soon as Master Zhang finished speaking, Xiao Yu’er hurriedly walked forward and opened the box that belonged to her, and she exclaimed with shock when she saw the small and round badge within the box, and. After that, she raised her head and gazed at Master Zhang as she said, “Master, this is the badge of a Grade Two Talisman Master, but I....” She really wanted to ask if her Master was mistaken, but out of respect for Master Zhang, she hadn’t spoken these words. Meanwhile, Tang Ye had opened his box as well. The badge within the box was round, around the size of two thumbs, and the front of the badge was inscribed with four ‘一’ characters. When he saw these four characters for the number one, Tang Ye was slightly surprised because this was the badge for a Grade Four Talisman Master. Moreover, it just so happened that he heard Xiao Yu’er at this moment, so he gazed at Master Zhang with a puzzled expression. When he noticed their puzzled expressions, Master Zhang said with a smile, “I didn’t make a mistake. Young Brother Tang is a Grade Four Talisman Master, and you’re a Grade Two Talisman Master, Yu’er.” When he noticed their expressions become even more puzzled, Master Zhang explained once more. “According to the rules of the association, during the tests for those beneath the rank of Earth Talisman Master, if the examinee crafted a mid-grade talisman, then the examiner possesses the authority to raise the examinee’s ranking by a grade!” “Then what about someone that crafts a high-grade Talisman?” asked Tang Ye. Since crafting a mid-grade talisman allowed one to be raised by one rank, then it caused him to feel slightly depressed because the treatment he received from crafting two high-grade talismans was actually the same as crafting mid-grade talismans. When he heard Tang Ye, Master Zhang smiled bitterly and said, “Logically speaking, Young Brother Tang is entirely capable of becoming a Grade Five Talisman Master because even some Earth Talisman Masters are probably unable to compare to Young Brother Tang in terms of technique. The reason I only raised Young Brother Tang’s rank by two grades is that I only possess the authority to give a raise of two ranks. If Young Brother Tang wants the badge of a Grade Five Talisman Master, then I send an application to the association’s headquarters. But it would probably take some time!” When he heard this, Tang Ye said, “Thank you for your good intentions, Master Zhang. Grade Four or Grade Five isn’t much different in my opinion, so I won’t trouble Master Tang. Right, I still have affairs to attend to, so I’ll be bidding my farewells first!” As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Ye cupped his hands to Master Zhang, and then he turned around and walked towards the entrance. After he obtained the identity of a Talisman Master, Tang Ye naturally didn’t want to stay here, and all he wanted was to rush back to Southpeace City. When she saw Tang Ye turn around and leave, Xiao Yu’er hurriedly placed the clothes and badge into her spatial ring, and then she bowed to Master Zhang and said, “Master, Yu’er is going to send Brother Tang off!” As soon as she finished speaking, she didn’t even wait for Master Zhang’s reply before hurriedly chasing after Tang Ye. Master Zhang seemed to have thought of something when he saw Xiao Yu’er running off in a rush, and a brilliant smile appeared on his face. He said in a low voice, “If the two of them become a pair, then wouldn’t Master Lin and I become relatives? If I’m able to form a relationship with Master Lin, then wouldn’t it be extremely easy for me to enter the headquarters in the future?” When he spoke up to here, Master Zhang’s smile grew even more brilliant. He laughed on the spot for a long time before he seemed to have thought of something, and he suddenly slapped himself on the head with his right hand. He hurriedly ran out and he said while running, “Master Lin’s disciple appeared in this branch, so I have to quickly send news of this back to the headquarters. Master Lin has probably not left the headquarters to return to the Sword Sect....” ...... Outside the entrance, Xiao Yu’er caught up to Tang Ye, whereas, Tang Ye felt slightly helpless when he saw her catch up to him. Even though he really wanted to rush back to Southpeace City, since she’d chased after him, it wasn’t nice for him to just turn around and leave. “Young Miss Xiao, do you need something?” asked Tang Ye. Xiao Yu’er bowed to Tang Ye, and then she said with a serious expression, “Brother Tang, thank you for everything.”
