Getting a Sugar Mommy in Cultivation World!!-Chapter 612: Spirit Lotus Sect

"Huh?" Wu Fei trembled as his master reprimanded him, but he could not refute his words, as his master was right—he did not understand his real intention till he revealed them himself. "Waiting for someone else..? Who?"

Elder Han ignored Wu Fei and slowly moved his legs to stand up. His eyes moved outside the window of the room. "As for me not telling anything about this to the sect leader… you are really underestimating that man."

"Not a single leaf in the sect moves without permission. The fact that he did not stop me means he did not disagree with my approach. He just did not want the elders to know about it first."

On the other hand, Wu Fei was more amazed than surprised. "He is really worthy of being the sect master…"

Elder Han, who heard his muttering, did not say anything, silently agreeing with his words.

"Right now, all you have to do is keep an eye on the people who come here to meet Zhong Hua. She must have sent someone to look for them now that we came to her doorsteps."

"Are they the people from that unknown sect?" As if recalling something, Wu Fei's eyes shone with realization. "I remember that someone mentioned Zhong Hua wanted to betray the sect and join a sect that no one had ever heard of."

"But even if that's the case, why wait for them? What makes them so special?"

"That's what we are here to find. How can a sect we have never heard of produce such a talent as that boy? How were they able to attract someone like Zhong Hua by mere words?" Even thinking about it made Elder Han feel something was definitely up with the sect. "Right now, information about them takes priority over Zhong Hua."

After being enlightened by his master, Wu Fei seemed to have gained a deeper understanding of how things worked. "What about Zhong Hua? Are we going to let her join that sect?"

Elder Han was not against his disciple asking so many questions; he even welcomed him asking these questions. Nurturing was essential for there to be growth.

"How can we let that happen? Losing a talent like Zhong Hua will make us a laughingstock. Not to mention, we have used many resources to support her. But even then, we cannot force her to not leave us."

This time even Wu Fei did not have to ask the reason for that. After all, he knew that the Zhang Family was anything but a pushover. Not to mention they were the subjects of the royal family, which put them under Wuhan's protection, a person even their sect leader wished not to provoke rashly.

Just as the two of them were discussing the current situation among themselves, the elders of the Zhang family were having their own meeting with their patriarch.

"How long are those two planning to stay here?"

"They must have heard about what Zhong Hua did during the competition."

"Zhong Hua has truly caused so much trouble for us this time." One by one, the elders commented while casting side glances at Zhong Ben. These people had no good intentions while poking their remarks to rile up the issue.

They all had great ambitions to see themselves seated in Zhong Ben's seat one day, which was why they were trying to cause trouble for the head of the family.

"Silence." A single word was enough from Zhong Ben to silence them all. When they saw the unusually serious look on the usually genial patriarch, the elders knew that it was time for them to stop their actions.

Without even using his power to suppress them, Zhong Ben managed to put pressure on them all just from his gaze.

"Are you all forgetting that Zhong Hua is as much a part of the family as you all are?" Zhong Ben started off by looking each one of the troublemakers in the eye, causing them to flinch and back down. "Not to mention, she is a very intelligent kid. Do you really think she would make any rash decisions?"

With that, they all had to agree. "The women of the Zhong Family are really something."

One of the elders even commented with a bitter smile on his face.

"True. Had it not been for my wife not willing to take on this tedious task, she would be the one sitting here instead of me." Another one of them commented bitterly.

"Patriarch, how do you plan to deal with the people from the Spirit Lotus Sect?" Seeing the conversation was getting sidetracked, one of the older elders asked with a stern look on his face.

Zhong Ben did not flinch under his gaze but let out a sigh. "What can we even do to them? They haven't done anything wrong till now. We cannot simply use force when they have yet to do anything. It will only taint the name of our clan."

"They also know that and want to use this very thing as a moral ground to put pressure on us. The people from the Spirit Lotus Sect are all cunning bastards." A frail-looking elder clicked his tongue in annoyance. "By the way, why would you agree for Hua girl to even go to that unknown sect? Look how much trouble they have put us into now."

"Sigh~ You may not know this, but since I was there, I can assure you all that the Benevolent Guardian Sect is not to be underestimated. The things they gave my daughter just to join are something even we might not be able to pull out easily."

"Is it so exaggerated?" The elders were quick to express their shock upon hearing Zhong Ben's assessment of the sect.

"Indeed, and things are not as bad as you think. Even the Spirit Lotus Sect would not act recklessly in the capital city. They all know the power of the emperor, and with his temper, he might not even care about whether they are from the five major sects or not."

"Does young miss have a way to contact those people and ask them to help us out of this mess? After all, it was a mess they are a part of."

Before Zhong Hua could say anything, one of the guards knocked on the gate of the meeting room, causing his movements to halt.

"Enter!" The elders frowned when they were disturbed, but Zhong Ben did not mind it and asked the person to enter the sect. The gates of the hall opened, and one of the guards entered the room with hurried steps.

"What's the sudden rush?" Seeing his movements, one of the elders could not help but ask with raised eyebrows. Since the guards were trained by him personally, the elder knew they were not ones to panic at simple things.

"Pardon my intrusion, but Family Head, someone from the Benevolent Guardian Sect wanted to seek an audience with you…" The guard hurriedly bowed to the elders and Zhong Ben before he said, "I asked him to wait in the waiting room, but…"

"What? Is someone making trouble on the clan premises?" The elders' frown deepened as they looked at the clan head and added, "Is that guy from the same sect young miss joined?"

They held a hint of displeasure toward Noah's action, but then suddenly the guard hurriedly shook his head.

"It's not him, respected elders. The man agreed to wait, but the two guests from the Spirit Heart Sect intercepted him in the room!"

"This is bad!" Zhong Ben realized the gravity of the situation and jumped up from his chair, rushing out of the room.
