I Have A Bunch Of Saint Apprentices

But Xie Qi Lan did not think about it. When she saw Shen Jun's powerless appearance, there was only one thought in her mind.    

This is my man.    

I have to support him.    

Xie Qi Lan's gentleness and decisiveness almost instantly quelled the pain and struggle in Shen Jun's heart.    

The familiar fragrance instantly calmed Shen Jun's irritated heart.    

Shen Jun raised his head and looked at the pair of beautiful eyes. Xie Qi Lan did not speak.    

From a very long time ago, they had developed this kind of tacit understanding.    

A thousand years ago, two children escaped from the Lone Wolf City in a miserable state. From being homeless orphans who could not eat or wear clothes, to the current position of the master of the Upper Realm.    

Xie Qi Lan and Shen Jun had always unconditionally and without hesitation supported each other.    

With just a glance, Shen Jun understood Xie Qi Lan's meaning.    

No matter how heavy the burden, I will shoulder it with you.    

Shen Jun opened his mouth and was about to say something, but he was interrupted by another voice.    

"Master, I, Old Sun, will also accompany you! If the sky falls, we, master and disciple, will shoulder it together!"    

"Disciple Lee Qinglian swears to follow Master to the death."    

"My life was saved by Master. I will follow Master for the rest of my life!"    

"Master raised me and taught me the Way. My life is also yours."    

After Xie Qilan, the other eighty disciples also walked up and surrounded Shen Jun in a circle.    

However, these children still had bright smiles on their faces.    

Shen Jun was startled. He suddenly felt that he was so ridiculous.    

In his opinion, sitting on the position of the alliance leader and commanding billions of creatures to rush to the battlefield was a great responsibility that was difficult to accept.    

To anyone, this responsibility was too heavy. Just thinking about it made them feel suffocated.    

However, after seeing his master in such a difficult situation, his disciples helped him to bear the burden without hesitation.    

Their perspective was pure, simple, and sincere.    

They didn't care how heavy or how torturous it was.    

As long as they were bearing the responsibility and pressure for their master, they were happy.    

What their master wanted was what they wanted.    

Looking at the smiling faces around him, Shen Jun felt his heart thump.    

The mental barrier that was like a natural moat a minute ago completely collapsed in this second.    

For the first time in a thousand years.    

Shen Jun's eyes turned red in front of his disciple.    

At the same time, Ao Xing cupped his fists and bowed his head.    

"Disciple Ao Xing will definitely advance and retreat with Master."    

"Disciple Ao Xing is willing to share the burden and solve the problem for Master."    

After saying that, Ao Xing knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily.    

It was solemn and solemn, as if he had sworn an oath.    

At this moment, Shen Jun was filled with mixed feelings. In the end, he only turned it into a laugh.    

"Alright, I didn't raise you all for nothing."    

As he spoke, Shen Jun even gave Sun Wufan a slap on his face.    

"Aiyo, Master, why did you hit me again?" Sun Wufan rubbed his head with a face full of grievance.    

"Next time, speak softer when talking to me." Shen Jun glared at Sun Wufan and said, "I was startled by your sudden roar just now."    

Sun Wufan was extremely aggrieved, but he did not dare to make a sound.    

His monkey face was so aggrieved that it was squeezed together.    

"Hahahaha, Fifth Senior Brother, I told you that you would be reprimanded by Master because of this, right? I have advised you many times, but you still don't believe me."    

"That's right. Senior Brother's words are always shocking. Master's lesson is good!"    

"Just hit me? Master, don't you think about taking out the High Dragon Whip? This brat is now very thick-skinned and tough. If you hit him, it won't hurt him at all. He won't remember it."    

Seeing Sun Wufan's aggrieved and helpless look, the others immediately started to jeer.    

Everyone laughed out loud. Sun Wufan's monkey face was flushed red with anger, and his two ears were spitting white smoke.    

Everyone was playing around, and the heavy atmosphere was instantly replaced by laughter.    

Seeing this familiar scene, Shen Jun also laughed.    

Everyone was playing with Sun Wufan, and Sun Wufan chased after them to fight.    

Since a thousand years ago, this group of little fellows had been tirelessly enjoying themselves.    

On the other hand, Shen Jun could not get bored of them either. Every time he saw them, he would laugh out loud.    

In name, they were master and disciple, senior and junior brothers and sisters.    

But after so many years of nurturing, the bond between them had already been brewed.    

Their master was their father, and their senior and junior brothers and sisters were their real brothers and sisters.    

The bond between them had long surpassed the true bond between them.    

When the disciples were tired of playing around, they started to pant heavily.    

Shen Jun took out the familiar face of their master and shouted, "Alright, come here!"    

Everyone quickly stopped playing around and ran to Shen Jun's side.    

"Qinglian." Shen Jun called out.    

"Disciple is here!" Lee Qinglian walked out with his sword in hand and replied loudly.    

"Take ten people with you and open up the route between the Demon Clan and the Northern Territory. Tell them to go to the Shen Royal Sect. If they are disobedient, just kill them."    

"Yes, Disciple will do as you say!"    

Lee Qinglian respectfully accepted the order and was teleported out the next second.    

"Yao Yuanlong." Shen Jun called out again, "Take ten people with you and return to the Jiangshan Pavilion. Arrange the positions of the people who will join the Shen Royal Sect in the coming year."    

"Tell them that the Shen Royal Sect has given them half a year to enter the Upper Realm. Give them another year."    

"Within a year, join the alliance. Otherwise, we will wipe them out!"    

Shen Jun's palm turned into a blade and slashed down.    

Killing intent surged!    

There was no hint of defeat in those sharp eyes.    

"Yes, your disciple will do as you say!"    

After Yao Yuanlong accepted the order, he was also teleported away.    

Shen Jun, who had regained his composure, instantly regained his graceful demeanor as he gave out orders one after another.    

The surrounding disciples all accepted their orders and left, leaving only Ao Xing and Xie Qilan.    

Among Shen Jun's disciples, the two of them were the biggest and the smallest.    

And their identities were the most special.    

Needless to say, Xie Qilan was a disciple, a lover, and the person who had supported Shen Jun the longest.    

As for Ao Xing.    

The relationship between the two of them was more like a master and disciple than a friend, a brother, and a close friend.    

To put it in a more appropriate way, they were more like a pair of master and disciple who were spiritually connected and had complementary abilities.    

Shen Jun was the king, and Ao Xing was the minister.    

There were times when the king was confused, just like how Shen Jun was almost crushed by the billions of lives and only wanted to escape.    

At this moment, other than Ao Xing, who else could stand up and scold him?    

At this thought, even Shen Jun could not help but sigh.    

He was naturally cautious and suspicious. Even the eight great Immortal Lords, who were completely under his control, still had a sliver of leeway.    

How long had Ao Xing known him? How could he trust him so much?    

Could it be that there was a predestined fate?
