History's Strongest Senior Brother

HSSB40: The Lin family maiden leaves seclusion

In the Central Heaven Region, where Broad Creed Mountains headquarters were located, within the depths of the multiple mountains existed an enormous cave, a peaceful place within which disciples of Broad Creed Mountain opted to go into secluded meditation.

The stone door outside the cave, which previously been closed, suddenly began to open little by little.

From within, a maiden of only fifteen or sixteen years of age stepped out. Dressed completely in white, her beauty cast a radiant glow onto the surrounding forest, as she resembled a water lily blossoming in the evening.

Outside the cave, there were two youths waiting. Upon seeing the young maiden, smiles appeared on their faces: “Junior apprentice-sister Lin is leaving the gate?”

Lin Yushao gracefully laughed as she greeted the two: “Senior apprentice-brothers.”

The two youths returned her greeting. One of them laughed and responded: “Congratulations to junior apprentice- sister Lin for making a breakthrough during your seclusion. If you can complete a few tasks for the clan, youll soon be able to wear a blue qingpao.”

According to Broad Creed Mountains rules, all normal disciples would have to wear white robes. Of the previous Ye Jing, Lan Wenyan, and Lin Yushao, none were exempt from this rule.

For innately gifted disciples, after their cultivation reached a certain realm, they would be

rigorously tested by the clan. If they passed, they would wear blue robes instead, and, being considered Chosen amongst the disciples, would be nurtured by the clan, like Sikong Qing.

At a level above that, like Yan Zhaoge, their robes would be lined with a black trim. Any disciples at this level would be considered core disciples of the clan, and would have a greatly different position from the other disciples. Each core disciple would wield considerable influence—correspondingly, while their privileges and prestige could be considered the highest, their numbers were also the lowest.

Lin Yushao lightly smiled and responded: “Ive only cultivated for a short period, and my foundation is unsteady. I also am lacking in experience from outside training. As for becoming a blue robed disciple, Im still a great distance from reaching that level.”
