A World Worth Protecting

Chapter 1012: Chapter 1012, customs!

“We don’t dare to continue pestering the purple gold civilization. The follow-up compensation should be sent over very soon. You can just accept it.”The Blazing Flame ancestor smiled. He didn’t hide his admiration for Wang Baole, his tone was very gentle.

“Thank you, Master!”Wang Baole took a deep breath. He was very grateful for the concern and help the blazing flame ancestor had shown him. He cupped his fists and bowed deeply once more.

“There’s no need for this between you and me, master and Disciple.”The Blazing Flame ancestor smiled. He raised his right hand and waved it, transforming it into a gentle force that helped Wang Baole up. Then, he turned to look at Wang Baole’s eldest senior sister.

“Dong ‘er, I often go into seclusion, and I often go out. So, in the future, if I’m not around, you have to help me teach this little junior brother of yours.”

Eldest senior sister’s expression turned serious when she heard that. She nodded solemnly and looked at Wang Baole sternly.

“Sixteenth junior brother, regardless of cultivation or other aspects, if you have any problems, you can come to me immediately.”

“Thank you, senior sister!”Wang Baole looked at the eldest senior sister in front of him. She looked stern, but he could still feel the care and concern in her eyes. He could not help but clasp his fists and bow, at the same time, he could not help but doubt little Missy’s words once again.

Just as Wang Baole was clasping his fists, fifteen, who was beside him, curled her lips and muttered softly.

“Sixteen, you’re going to be unlucky…”

“Fifteen!”Fifteen had barely finished muttering when twelfth senior sister, who was beside him, glared at him and shouted in a low voice.

Fifteen immediately scowled and wanted to speak. However, when he raised his head, he saw the solemn expression on eldest senior sister’s face. He also saw his master raise his right hand to stroke his beard. He couldn’t help but shrink his neck, as if he didn’t dare speak.

“Master, although fifteen is mischievous, he has been diligent during this period of time. He’s much better than before.”Seeing how fifteen was behaving, twelfth senior sister seemed to soften her heart. After bowing to her master, she spoke gently. The moment her words left her mouth.., fifteen hurriedly raised her head and threw him a look of gratitude.

Wang Baole saw all of this, and he couldn’t help but feel even more hesitant. According to what little Missy had said, everyone standing before him now was actually his master..

However, their interactions with each other were too real… while Wang Baole was at a loss, seventh senior brother suddenly laughed.

“Master, I say that little fifteen needs to be taught a lesson. A few days ago, when he brought sixteenth junior brother to my place, I heard him say bad things about you!”

“Seventh senior brother, you!”Fifteen wanted to cry but had no tears. He hurriedly bowed to his master.

“Master, I was wronged. I…”

“Master, I heard it too,”said third senior brother, who didn’t wait for fifteenth to finish speaking.

“That’s right, master. Fifteenth did say it!”

“That’s right, that’s right! I can swear that I heard it too!”The other senior brothers and sisters also began to speak. All of them had different expressions on their faces. Some had smiles on their faces, while others coughed dryly to add fuel to the fire, in short, everyone in the grand hall was very quick-witted, especially second senior brother. He coughed and spoke softly.

“Master, little fifteen might have done it unintentionally.”

“Second senior brother, you can’t do this… Sixteen, tell me, did I say anything bad about master?”Fifteen was anxious and pulled Wang Baole.

Wang baole blinked, feeling even more confused. He didn’t think that all of this was a one-man show no matter how he looked at it. Now that he was being pulled by fifteen, he really didn’t know how to speak. He could only laugh bitterly.

“Enough!”As if he was having a headache over his disciples, the blazing flame ancestor rubbed the space between his brows. He spoke calmly and glared at little fifteen. After little fifteen pretended to be wronged, the blazing flame ancestor looked back at Wang Baole.

“Baole, you’ve just arrived and aren’t familiar with the blazing flame galaxy. You’ll have to get used to the environment here in the future. Also, I’ve gone out this time and found a cultivation technique that suits you…” The blazing flame ancestor waved his right hand, and two jade slips flew out. One flew towards Wang Baole, while the other flew straight towards XV.

Wang Baole quickly caught them. He didn’t wait to examine them. He saw XV, who seemed to be lowering his head, give him a quick look. The meaning behind that look was simple, it was as if he was saying, “Look, am I right?”.

“This technique is called the star sealing art. Even if I were to look at its power, it would be described as unfathomable. You and fifteen will cultivate this technique.”After the elder said that, he stroked his beard and stopped talking about the cultivation technique, instead, he chatted with his disciples and asked them about their cultivation progress.

The entire hall gradually became harmonious. Every disciple, after being questioned, would flatter them. Even eldest senior sister was no exception. This opened Wang Baole’s eyes. He had a deeper understanding of the atmosphere in the raging flame galaxy, at the same time, the doubts and confusion in his heart deepened.

It doesn’t seem like it. be it master or Senior Brothers and senior sisters, they all seem very normal… Besides, Little Missy said that master is narrow-minded and would be angry because of what I said. However, this visit has been very gentle from the beginning to the end… Wang Baole secretly heaved a sigh of relief, he also had a vague feeling that little missy might not have been telling him the truth.

Perhaps what little Missy knows is just the past? Is it not like this now? Wang Baole thought to himself, after the blazing flame ancestor finished questioning the disciples, his gaze swept over Wang Baole. There was still a warm smile on his face as he spoke.

“Baole, the disciples that I have accepted do not need any ceremony. Everything goes according to one’s heart. However, there is a custom that must be carried out

“The Guardian Divine Bull of the blazing flame galaxy was once my mount and was loyal to me. Over the years, I have long regarded it as a fellow Daoist. Therefore, all of you must treat it with respect

“Every single one of my disciples, after acknowledging me as their master, have to bathe the Divine Bull as a show of respect. Your Senior Brothers and sisters have all done the same. Now, it’s your turn,”the blazing flame ancestor said amiably, upon hearing that, Wang Baole quickly cupped his fists and acknowledged.

The senior brothers and sisters beside him also looked emotional when they heard the blazing flame ancestor mention the matter.

“Senior divine ox has done too much for our blazing flame star system. Now that I think about it, the scene of me bathing senior divine ox is still vivid in my mind.”

“That’s right. There was once when I was in danger, and it was senior divine ox who saved me…”

“In the blink of an eye, so many years have passed. Back then, master once said that the more thoroughly you bathe senior divine ox, the more respect you will be able to show. Master, I request that you bathe senior divine ox once more after sixteenth junior brother.” Each senior brother and senior sister had their own memories. No matter how one looked at it, they all looked very real, especially fifteenth. He was the loudest, and his expression was extremely rich.

Seeing this, Wang Baole felt that something was amiss, but he didn’t think too much about it. After accepting the request, he chatted with his fellow disciples and the blazing flame ancestor in the grand hall. Finally, under the blazing flame ancestor’s smile.., they left.

However, the moment they walked out of the Grand Hall’s door, XV’s expression turned into one of schadenfreude. He patted Wang Baole on the shoulder and coughed. He didn’t say anything. The other senior brothers and senior sisters didn’t Pat him on the shoulder, but there was a strange look on their faces, they smiled at Wang Baole and left.

As he watched his senior brothers and senior sisters leave, Wang Baole had a faint feeling that something wasn’t right. This feeling wasn’t right. After he left the area of the tower, flew into the air, and paid his respects to the fire bull, telling him why he had come.., it exploded in his heart.

That was because… after hearing that Wang Baole had been ordered to bathe him, the fire bull, which was originally of normal size, threw its head back and laughed loudly. Its body expanded infinitely in the next instant. In a few short breaths.., its size reached the size of three to five planets. It floated in the starry sky, emitting buzzing sounds.

“Come, come, come, little sixteen. Bathe this old cow. Remember to wash it thoroughly. I haven’t been bathed in a long time.”

Wang Baole looked at the enormous old cow and felt a little dizzy. With its enormous body, if he were to bathe it personally, it would take at least a few months, even if he had to bathe day and night, only then would he be able to completely bathe himself.

This… This is a custom? Wang Baole was confused. He felt as if he had been physically punished.
