Chapter 112: Master Chen and Chen Zu

For a while, Chen Zu's brain froze trying to understand what Master Zen said. Only after a few second, he understood that Master Zen didn't want Whittaker to join the Zen mountain.

Understanding what Master Zen words implied, Chen Zu clasped his fist on his hand while nodding his head. "So that's it!" he exclaimed.

"You are still here? Stop dilly-dallying! This is a matter of grave importance. Go now and inform Lord Chen!" Master Zen said, annoyed at the fact that Chen Zu still hasn't dashed towards Lord Chen.

"As you command, Lord Zen!" 

Swoosh! At this moment, a beam of light stretched from the floating land above the heaven-reaching mountain to the Ninth Peak of the Zen mountains. Everyone who saw this instantly understood that this technique was utilized by a life bound disciple. Only they had the permission to learn the Zen Rush Movement Battle Skill, after all.

Swoosh! Wind and dust raised and the white sheets of Lord Chen's bed fluttered, along with that, the flowers that have recently bloomed lost their beauties as the heavy wind caused their petal to scatter about; However, with a single snap of a finger, the heavy wind caused by Chen Zu stepping into his master room at an ultra-fast speed calmed down.

The source of that snap was a seemingly frail old man but his look could outsmart many handsome men. The old man had a head full of grey-white hair. Contrary to one's thought, his hair shone with a silvery luster, seemingly unaffected by his age. Although he had a wizened face his back was straight like that of a young man. His face was sparkly, bright like light from the flames. Not even a single wrinkle could be seen on his face until Chen Zu arrived, wrinkle boring deeply into his skin as he frowned, frustrated at the nut head that refused to learn.

"Master~am back with a !" Chen Zu said after bowing down in front of a slim old man; however, he was cut off before he could continue with what he has to relay to him.

"Little Zu, how many times must I tell you, impatience is your worse shortcoming, especially when you are in a panic, you tend to do things as fast as you can. When will you learn!" Master Chen started to blab and scold his inheritance disciple, whose head lowered and lowered as all his shortcomings were announced loudly for everyone in the entire mountain to head.

Chen Zu was an orphan adopted as a student by Master Chen eighteen years ago. He had great potential and Master Chen happened to chance upon him when he set out to the mortal world to convince a young and talented youth to become his disciple. Master Chen believed that it will take two or so years to find one. Luckily, Master Chen encountered orphan Zu two days after traveling in the mortal world. At that time, Zu was only three years old. Zu didn't have any place to call home and he was suffering from hunger; However, the peoples of the Wind Kingdom were kind and they would feed him ever so often. Since he was poor, Master Chen only needed to use meat buns and more meat to bribe Zu to become his inheritance disciple. Zu was fine as long as he received lavish people every day, hence he entered a temple of the monk and was forced to become a vegetarian; however, he would sneak out of the temple to eat meat, ever so occasionally. This is how they met and became a master and disciple. Master Chen also knew every fault of Chen Zu as he has been living with him for the past eighteen years.

Nearly feeling that he will puke out blood if this situation continues, Chen Zu shouted,

"I have an important matter to relay! Lord Zen wants my master to send Whittaker an invitation to become a core (life bound) disciple of Zen mountain; However, it must be an invitation that he won't accept!"

"Oh!" Master Chen stopped scolding his disciple. Nevertheless, he was thinking of scolding him after the talk. After a momentary pause, he continued, "Lord Zen hasn't shown interest in anyone but Emerald. It has been a decade since then and now he is interested in someone else. Little Zu, tell me more about this fella called Whittaker."

Chen Zu explained everything about Whittaker to him. The talk continued as Master Chen investigated deeper.

Master Chen instantly took out a piece of paper, a brush, and green ink from his spatial treasure. He started to jot something down. He had enough wisdom to create an invitation that Whittaker will have to force otherwise, he will regret it.

Master Chen made sure that accepting the invitation and becoming a member of the Zen Mountain will not be possible for a person like Whittaker. After writing the letter in ten seconds, he sealed it in an exquisite envelope and turned to take a look at Chen Zu, who was still half-kneeling.

"It's been eighteen years since you have been cooped up in this mountain. Little Zu, it's time you experience freedom. I allow you to enter the mortal world, once again. Also, take this letter and hand it to Whittaker. At the same time, I want you to witness the world and its wonder. Return home when you feel like it." Master Chen said, at the very moment, he handed over the invitation letter to Zu, who accepted it and stored it in his spatial pot.

Zu respectfully bowed before taking his leave. He dashed out of the mountain while laughing, thinking that his master still doesn't know about the times he had sneaked out of the mountain; However, Master Chen knew about this. That's why he had emptied Zu spatial pot from all treasure, money, and necessities except three things.

A return tablet so he will be able to return home at any time.

A life-saving talisman so he won't die in the dangerous world outside. And lastly, Whittaker's invitation letter.

This was the punishment that Zu had courted.
