Miss Loser is too enchanting

"Spiritual Master Association? How did it get involved with the Spiritual Master Association?" Bai Xinyan asked.

Bai Fenglan told them how Jin Fei was killed by Dugu Qianye and how Jin Yao took people to pursue them but ended up being killed instead, as well as the news that his secret technique had been passed on.

"How outrageous! Rest assured, Lan’er, your grandfather will definitely take you to the Spiritual Master Association to demand an explanation. Isn’t Shi Honggui about to celebrate his 500th birthday in a few days? I want to see how he’ll enjoy his birthday then!" Bai Xinyan said, "If he doesn’t give us an explanation, he shouldn’t blame me for breaking the agreement between the guilds that we must not fight! You go and rest now, follow your grandfather when it’s time."

"Thank you, Grandfather!" Bai Fenglan wiped away her tears and said, "At that time, I want that Dugu Qianye to pay with his life!"

"Yes, he will," Bai Xinyan said. Although he didn’t like the grandson-in-law from the Jin Family very much, now that he was his Bai Xinyan’s grandson-in-law, and the Spiritual Master Association went as far as to kill him—truly detestable! And his beloved grandson, Jin Fei, had been mutilated before death, what a profound disgrace! He wouldn’t rest until he had taken the life of that woman!

"Then Lan’er will go down and rest," Bai Fenglan said, leaving with her serving girl.

"Father, Lan’er is our only daughter, and she only had Fei’er as her child. Now that Fei’er is...," Bai Hongsheng looked at Bai Xinyan with a mournful gaze. Could this be the end of the Bai Family line?

"Spiritual Master Association!" A thick murderous intent flickered in Bai Xinyan’s eyes. "Send out the order, no one is to tame a Spiritual Beast for the Spiritual Master Association anymore!"

"Yes, Family Head!"

On the side of the Spiritual Master Association, Fen Qingran talked to Shi Honggui about what happened that day, about how they killed the old patriarch of the Jin Family and Jin Peng, and whether it would cause trouble for the Spiritual Master Association.

"Trouble is but a passing cloud; the key point is when you can come back!" Shi Honggui did not fly into a rage upon hearing the news from Fen Qingran, nor did he blame them for getting involved with the Beast Trainer Guild.

In fact, the people from the two guilds had always been at odds, often mutually disliking each other. Now, with such an incident, it might directly rupture the already tense relationship. Moreover, aside from Fen Qingran, not even Hao Pengyou knew that the Jin Family’s awkward Famil Head was actually Bai Xinyan’s son-in-law!

"We will be back soon and will surely apologize to the Beast Trainer Guild for..."

"Apologize, my ass! They tried to kill my disciple, and I still need to settle scores with them. Hurry back, and don’t forget my birthday gift!" Shi Honggui said.

"Understood," Fen Qingran said, "The second and third should have returned by now. If you’re bored, you can find them to pass the time."

"You know very well they don’t give me a chance to tease them at all! Ah, I miss my little disciple, she is much more fun!" Shi Honggui couldn’t help but sigh.

"Well, Master, there’s something, so I gotta go!" Fen Qingran hastily ended their communication, afraid that Shi Honggui might say something more earth-shattering.

"I heard you selling out the second and third senior brothers, you know." Dugu Qianye emerged from behind Fen Qingran, smiling as he spoke.

"Is there? I wasn’t aware," Fen Qingran said with a chuckle.

"Big Senior Brother, tell me about the conflict between the Spiritual Master Association and the Beast Trainer Guild," Dugu Qianye came to sit beside Fen Qingran and requested. She had just heard Fen Qingran’s words, which seemed as though he had dealt with the Jin Family, but had they run into even greater trouble?

"The specific reasons, I do not know either. I only know there is an irreconcilable conflict between the Beast Trainer Guild and the Spiritual Master Association. And the granddaughter of the president of the Beast Trainer Guild is married to Jin Peng, the Family Head of the Jin Family."

"So, by killing Jin Peng and the others, we have crossed paths with the Beast Trainer Guild," said Dugu Qianye.

Fen Qingran nodded and said, "Bai Xinyan and Master have always had an eye on each other, and I’m afraid they might cause trouble during Master’s birthday."

"If he dares to cause a disturbance at Master’s birthday feast, I dare to break his legs!" Dugu Qianye stated earnestly.

"I just hope that nothing goes wrong on the day of Master’s birthday," Fen Qingran said.

However, with Dugu Qianye, a magnet for trouble, how could there not be any incidents? 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Lately, Mushroom City has been particularly lively, to be precise, the Spiritual Master Association’s headquarters has been bustling with activity. Many people came directly here from the Fenghuang City auction, all for the sake of attending Shi Honggui’s 500th birthday celebration.

For those whose lifespans have been extended, they do not celebrate their birthday every year, but rather every 10 years, 20 years, or 50 years. To celebrate a 500th birthday like Shi Honggui’s is considered a significant occasion. Moreover, since he is the president of the Spiritual Master Association’s headquarters, many people came to extend their birthday wishes, causing the hotels and inns in Mushroom City to burst at the seams.

Some people chose to deliver their gifts to the Spiritual Master Association in advance because if everyone were to come on the same day, Shi Honggui might have to do nothing but receive gifts all day. Thus, several days before Shi Honggui’s birthday, the gift receiving had already begun. The Spiritual Master Association assigned specific individuals to manage the task of receiving gifts. Of course, with the beginning of gift receiving also came the start of the banquets, albeit informal ones. All these were managed by the people from the Spiritual Master Association. Shi Honggui only needed to make an appearance at the banquet on his actual birthday.

At this moment, Shi Honggui lay under a tree in his courtyard, sighing and looking troubled.

"President, what’s the matter?" A new elder of the Spiritual Master Association, who had not been at the headquarters for long and was still unfamiliar with Shi Honggui’s temperament, saw his demeanor while coming to report and asked, "Is there something troubling you?"

"Sigh," Shi Honggui sighed again and said, "Can you believe those rascals? Not a single one has come back yet. Have they forgotten my birthday again?"

It was then that Qiu Changlai realized why he was sighing. He had heard that some of his disciples had forgotten his birthday in the past, it seems to have been the youngest disciple, Hao Pengyou. No, that’s not right; the youngest disciple isn’t Hao Pengyou anymore, it’s that little girl.

"Hehe, don’t worry, President, they will surely return. This is your major 500th birthday; they wouldn’t miss it. Besides, didn’t Miss Qianye say she was coming back? Then the other disciples will come back as well," Qiu Changlai reassured.

"Sigh, now, only she seems to care," Shi Honggui said.

The last time he left Fenghuang City, she had given him an Elixir, which after consumption, significantly benefited his old affliction. His body doesn’t feel as uncomfortable as before now. It was surprising that after only meeting once, she had discovered his affliction and even specially concocted an Elixir for his treatment. Because of his old affliction, he hadn’t been able to advance in rank for many years, which was one of the reasons the Spiritual Master Association’s status had been declining compared to other guilds. Entangled by the old affliction for so many years without a cure, thinking of Qianye’s promise that after treatment it could be completely cured, he wanted to be hopeful but feared it would all be in vain in the end. He decided to leave it to fate!
