Chapter 1102 Have I Finally Achieved Easy Life?

(MC POV)

There we go This is the life.

I was seated out in my courtyard and relaxing while my disciples were all busy with their cultivation.?????e???v?l.?o?

With Iris also helping me look after them, I was able to just kick back and enjoy my time off.

Yep, this was what I wanted from the very beginning, I just can't believe it took this long for this to come to fruition.

But well, better late than never I suppose?

Thus, here I was all laid back in the recliner seat with a cup of iced tea in my hand and enjoying the afternoon sun in my courtyard while watching over my disciples.

Elaria and Diao Chan had taken Iris's advice and gone off to search for what they needed to ascend while the others were working on their Divine bodies.

As for Brendan, he was still in the midst of preparing for his trip to the Death Mountains which I expected to last several days and I was planning to accompany him there as well. Right now he seems to be preparing some extra stuff that would help him look for the material he was missing.

But for today, it was just a relaxing day for me where I could just concentrate on doing absolutely nothing.

Yep, this was what I had intended from the start~

"Master?" Sophia greeted me with a bow.

I put down the iced tea in my hand, "Hmm? What is it?"

"Sect Master Qing is here to see you."

"Oh? What could he want from me? Well let him in and prepare some tea for him please."

I stood up from my lounge chair and went towards the pavilion where I would meet him.

Sect Master Qing was soon guided into my pavilion by Sophia who then proceeded to prepare tea for the both of us.

"Good morning Master Lin, I hope I'm not disturbing you?"

"Not at all, Sect Master Qing, what can I do for you today?"

"Oh, I'm just here to let you know that we are going to host this year's Sect Showcase Festival that will be happening next month so we were wondering if you would like to show up for the event?"

Oh wow, finally an event that doesn't involve the fate of the entire universe or even existence itself, of course I would partic.i.p.ate!

"Of course, of course. Though I don't think my disciples would be partic.i.p.ating in the showcase itself as it wouldn't be fair to the other partic.i.p.ants."

"Ah, I understand, Master Lin. Your disciples are truly lucky to have you as their Master to have reached this far."

I waved my hand nonchalantly, "Nonsense, it was all due to their own talents, I merely guided them along the way."

"Hoho! Master Lin truly is modest! Though I'm sure your disciples would also attribute their success to you instead! Anyway, to know that Master Lin is attending the event is a major boon to us since there's a lot of people who would want to meet you!"

"Eh? Why would there be a lot of people who want to meet me?"

"Ha ha, Master Lin still isn't aware of what kind of position you hold here, do you? I believe everyone within the Beiyang continent already acknowledges or are at least aware of the fact that Master Lin is the strongest being in existence here."

Well, I suppose that was already a thing even before I knew I was Origin so that's to be expected.

I scratched my cheek to hide my embarra.s.sment, "I see Well, umm Just in case, I'll be going on a trip with one of my disciples tomorrow so hopefully I can get back here in time."

"Ho ho~ I'm sure Master Lin will be able to, there isn't anything you can't do after all, right?"

Eh? Wait a minute Does he know that I'm Origin as well?

Nah, can't be, I never told anyone else except my disciples after all. He must be thinking about me as the Master Lin he knows.

I shrugged, "I don't think the trip will take more than a month so it shouldn't be a problem. Could I also ask what decided us to be the host for this year's Sect Showcase Festival?"

"Ah, Master Lin was away at that time but the Grand Sects would usually hold a meeting where we would hold a vote on who would be the host for it. It just so happens that we were the ones selected for it this year."

Oh, so that's how it's decided, I never knew about that.

"Then is there anything I need to do during the event?"

"Ahaha, as long as Master Lin shows up, that would be more than enough actually. I doubt anyone else could ask for more. Ah, but I suppose there would be people who wish to introduce themselves to you so"

I shrugged to show that it wouldn't be an issue, I can at least say hi.

Perfect, this goes along with my easy life plan~

If I was expected to do some song and dance then I might have rejected showing up for the event at all.

Sect Master Qing then turned towards my disciples who were meditating in my courtyard, "Speaking of which, how are things coming along? It's been a while since Master Lin actually showed your face with the rest of the Sect too."

"Ah Well Some things happened so things were a little hectic for a while. I believe things should be quiet for the foreseeable future now."

"That's good, that's good. I believe that having a simple life is also a good thing isn't it?"

Oh! You do understand, Sect Master Qing! I never knew you also had the same ideals too! I wholeheartedly approve!

Sect Master Qing finished the tea that Sophia prepared for him before standing up, "Well, that's all I came here for Master Lin. If you are available, do take a walk around the Sect from time to time, I'm sure the other Sect members would be more motivated when they see you."

He cupped his hands together which I mirrored before he left my courtyard.

Hmm Taking a walk around the Sect eh? That's also something that sounds relatively easy going that I wouldn't mind doing. Particularly because I haven't seen how the Sect had changed in the time I wasn't here as well.

In fact Maybe I should do it more often after the Festival is over? Who knows? Maybe I'll even see some interesting people whom I never met before around here?

Yep, that sounds like a plan.

In the meantime Where did I leave my ice tea again?
