And as soon as the arrow exploded, a purple glaring crystal ejected itself in Ye Shie's forehead. Teleporting towards that bright gaping hole in the sky.

Afterwards, after arriving, that purple crystal instantly began devouring the surrounding energy of the Lightning Tribulation.

In the blink of an eye, the once dark and rumbling sky disappeared. Replacing it was the same afternoon sky before the events.

The shining purple crystal arrived in the middle of Ye Shie's forehead, returning towards his spiritual own expanse.

Slowly, Ye Shie opened his eyes. At first, everything was a bit blurry and vague. But after several blinks, he noticed the 3 weird expressions of Guild Master Se, Elder Shen and Elder Xi's who was looking towards him.

City Lord Bai, upon seeing that familiar reaction from the trio, which he once made caused him to smile wryly.

Not minding the trio or City Lord Bai, Xiao Rou ran towards Ye Shie, lunging herself towards his chest, embracing it fully.

She giggled, looking at him with that same sparkling eyes he always makes.

"Wah! Shie! That was so cool! Teach it to me too!!"

Ye Shie stared in daze at this beauty who was clinging to him, smelling that familiar fragrance, and feeling her warmth. His face flushed for a bit. Suppressing this 'weird' feeling in his heart. Ye Shie calmed down while flicking Xiao Rou's forehead.

*Flick~

"Ouch! What was that for? Hmph!" Crossing her arm in front of her chest, she grunted.

"Hmph! You should first reach Rank 4 Formation Master before I can teach you that technique." Ye Shie clarified, but oh how wrong he is.

Before everyone can even perform that technique, they should all be first in the heavenly realm. The vast requirement on the Qi and Spiritual Control is tremendous.

Ye Shie can perform such techniques, for in the first place. The Qi he was using is not entirely his, he was just controlling them. In a very extreme and precise manner. Which would make all those at the heavenly realms blush in shame, maybe even vomit blood or suicide in their own volition.

"But Rou? How was it? Was your husband great?" Puffing his chest out, Ye Shie asked Xiao Rou shamelessly.

Hearing Ye Shie's words, Xiao Rou was a bit shock. She hurriedly looked down, with her face slowly blushing, she nodded meekly.

Not expecting Xiao Rou's reaction, Ye Shie was also a bit dumbfounded. He thought 'Usually she would go... Who the hell wanted to be your husband! and beat the crap out of me. Or Cheh! Just you wait stupid Ye Shie. I wonder what went wrong? or Did she ate something bad?'

Ye Shie became perplexed at Xiao Rou's 'new actions' and couldn't help but looked at the frowning City Lord Bai along with the dejected and the depressed Elder Shen and Elder Xi Shen and constantly sighing Guild Master Se, who was coming closer.

When the group arrived, the first to speak was,

"Ehem~ excuse me, young man? what husban--" but before the City Lord Bai continued he was cut off by the kneeling, yes! Kneeling. By the kneeling Guild Master Se.

He begged "Young Master Shie?! Would you let this old man be your Master!? I would gladly give you all my possessions as long as you accept this Old man as your Master."

Ye Shie along with City Lord Bai and the Elders hurriedly helped Guild Master Se up.

Ye Shie said "N-No Granpa Se! Don't kneel you don't have to do this!"

But Guild Master Se acted otherwise, he shamelessly declared with a grieving expression "If Young Master doesn't accept this old man as you master! Then this old man will continue doing so!"

Upon seeing that kneeling and grieving look on Guild Master Se, Ye Shie hurriedly said "Alright! Alright Grandpa Se, I will be your apprentice."

'Apprentice? That doesn't sound so bad...So my acting only worth this much huh?' Hearing Ye Shie's confirmation that grieving look instantly disappeared and was replaced by that same kind and gentle demeanour. Guild Master Se stood up, looking at this newfound apprentice, he smiled.

Shuffling Ye Shie's head Guild Master Se looked towards Ye Shie like his most beloved treasure saying "Good kid! We'll do the ceremony later, just come to the Formation Masters Guild okay?"

Ye Shie blankly nodded, at the sudden transformation of the kind and gently Guild Master.

'eh?' 'eh?' 'eh?' was the thoughts of City Lord Bai, Elder Shen and Elder Xi.

Seeing that well know famous and respected figure act like that, caused their image of that figure to crumble.

Then GuildMaster Se guild at the two elder, then he bowed at City Lord Bai saying "City Lord Bai? Thanks for your courtesy, but we will be taking our leave." With that Guild Master Se turned around, hurriedly walking towards the exit, so other may not see his sweaty and flustered face.

With only the City Lord Bai left, Ye Shie looked at him and asked "Uncle Bai? what was it again?"

To which the City Lord only sigh, and went away leaving the duo to their own 'matters'
