Don’t Worry, Your Master Is the Most Steady

[Anti-Trope · Multiple Heroines · Fruit Position Style · Ruthless and Decisive]

“The Dao is boundless, the immortal path is vast. Disciple, let me ask you: how many major realms do cultivators have?”

“Qi Refinement, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core...”

“Wrong! Completely wrong!”

“Remember this: in our line of work, there are only three realms, and only three. One, the ant realm. Two, the fellow Daoist realm. Three, the senior realm!”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yuan was overjoyed. So his master was a steady, cautious type after all. This round was secure.

...

After stumbling upon an opportunity,

Zhang Yuan happily said, “Master, this opportunity is bound to hide dangers. Why don’t we wait and see...”

“Heh. With your master here, what danger is there? In my eyes, the cultivators here are nothing but chickens and dogs!”

Zhang Yuan: ???

...

Zhang Yuan tried to stop him. “Master, wait! That man is a great expert of the senior realm. We absolutely cannot fight him head-on!”

“Your master has heaven-defying talent. He is only one realm stronger, yet dares to act so arrogantly. In my view, he is nothing but a head on a stake waiting to be taken!”

Zhang Yuan: ...

What happened to being cautious and steady? Can I still run now?
