Dragon Gate

Li Wei's eyes met with a pair of almond-shaped, blue-coloured eyes. Lin Mingyu was standing there with her face facing towards him. As always she had an indifferent expression appeared on her face but the way she looked at Li Wei is a lot gentler than before.

"Lady Mingyu!" Elder Han exclaimed with a surprised tone. Lin Mingyu status in Myriad Dao sect is so high that he, an early stage Soul Severing envoy couldn't compare to.

Even other envoys were stunned by her suddene appearance.

"Elders, this is my Lin clan, So I hope you will give me face and let me settle this. I will give an explanation to your Sects" Lin Mingyu said indifferently without even turning her head.

Elder Han said no more; nodding his respectfully, he disappeared.

The mysterious lady from Sacred Soul sect and the red-haired girl from Blood Asura sect hesitated a bit but they too decided to leave. After all, it isn't wise to offend the current genius for a future genius with unknown future.

"Since Miss Mingyu is here, this one shall take my leave" the lady said gently. She took one last look at Li Wei; and disappeared from the place.

"hmph" snorting a little, the girl also disappeared along with the lady.

In a few seconds, they appeared some miles away.

"Are you really going to leave just like that?" the red-haired girl asked the lady.

"We don't have a choice. Offending her won't do any good" the lady muttered helplessly.

"Hmph, hmph. That girl is becoming more and more arrogant. If not for the Sect master order, I would have teached her a lesson long ago" the girl pouted as she spoke.

"hehe... I know, I know" the lady chuckled.

"And that boy; he was sooo handsome~. I just wanted to kidnap him and lock him away. Aaaah, I hope that Ice block won't lay her hands on him" that girl spoke excitedly like fanatic-girl talking about her idol. Even though she spoke like a 15 years old girl; her age infact, is more than 80 years.

A glow flashed across the lady's eyes. She spoke with an enigmatic tone "that boy... he is indeed special. I have premonition he will become famous soon."

"Yup, yup. How could the one who caught my eye remain ordinary." stars appeared in the girl's eyes.

"....."

As their conversation continued, they travelled thousands of miles.

At Lin clan martial grounds, only 4 people were present; Li Wei, the baby, Lin Mingyu and the shabby old man from Heavens Favoured sect. Oh, there is one more person; Chen Jiang. He was snoring; it seems like he fell asleep long ago.

As for Gu Shihong and the Nascent Soul masters; they left this place in their wretched states as they were no longer qualified to stay here.

Lin Deming didn't know why his grand-daughter who should be unconsious is here now. But he no longer has the opportunity to take the little girl so he too left the place.

The old man from the Heavens Favoured sect was just looking at Li Wei like a precious treasure. He didn't seemed to care about Lin Mingyu or the new-born heavenly genius.

Li Wei stared at the stunningly beautiful girl, complicated feelings rose in his heart. Pushing those love-hate feelings aside, he said gently "Thank you. You came here to take the girl away, right? I won't stop you. 1 year! After 1 year, I will come and take my daughter away no matter what. "

Turning his eyes towards the little baby in his arms, he kissed her cheecks, "little darling, wait for your daddy to become stronger, then I will come to take care of you". Saying this, he passed her to Lin Mingyu. Though he is sad when he said these words, he had to do this.

After today's experience, he realised he weak he is in front true experts. He had to become powerful if he wants to protect his daughter.

Lin Mingyu gently took the baby into her arms and started walking away.

But she suddenly stopped. Turning around, she hesitated for a while before speaking "you... take care". As she uttered these words, a red glow appeared on her cheecks. After saying that, she quickly disappeared hastily.

Li Wei dumbfounded. 'whaaat? Did she just say those words. She must had a screw loose for a moment' his thoughts started wondering. Remembering all the things happened between the them, he became depressed. Even though he was this handsome, this girl never care about him at all. She was so cold and heartless even after they were married.

"Lad, your luck with the ladies is not bad" the old man who stood not too far away chuckled as he spoke. His words interrupted Li Wei thoughts.

A curious expression appeared on Li Wei face. Though this old man came with Soul Severing Masters, he has no presence at all and for some reason, he had a good impression on this elder. With a respectful tone, he asked "May I know who the elder is?"

"This one is Ye Jianyi, an envoy from the Heavens Favoured sect. Boy, you are very lucky. Very few people heard this old man's name and you are one of them" the old grinned.

Not minding his narcissistic words, Li Wei asked directly "Does elder want something from me?"

"Clever, I indeed want something from you. I want you to join my sect.

Oh, don't be hasty to refuse. The reason why I am inviting you is not because of your daughter or something and I don't care about your cultivation. You have the perfect conditions to join my sect" the elder replied. This time though, his tone is more serious.

Heavens Favoured sect is a lot different from other sects. They don't care about talent, bloodline, hard work or strong will. Even so, it has very pitiful amount of disciples compared to other Super sects.

This is because one need to have sufficient luck to become a disciple of Heavens Favoured sect. Luck is a mysterious and unpredictable thing that can change one's Fate. One can find a genius if they want, but finding a lucky person is an almost impossible thing.

This is why the elder was excited when felt the aura of luck around Li Wei's body.

"Boy, you can decide after returning from the Dragon Gate" the old said this when he noticed Li Wei's hesitant look.

"Dragon Gate?" Li Wei uttered with a confused tone. His knowledge of this world is very shallow. He never heard of this Dragon Gate.

The elder's eyes widened; he exclaimed in a shocked tone "You never heard of Dragon Gate before?". He is indeed shocked because everyone, literally everyone in the Continent knows what the Dragon Gate is; especially all youth.

Li Wei shook his head.

The old man man didn't know why this youth is so ignorant, was he living in a forest or something? Pushing those thoughts aside he started explaining patiently "the Dragon Gate is a mysterious arena that only opens once every 7 years. According to the cycle, it should be happening after a year later but this time it is opening early; only 10 more days till it open.

On that day, the whole Azure Continent will have it's eyes on this place because all the juniors between 13 to 18 will be there.

Commoners, nobles, young masters, young maidens, princes, princesses, orphans, thieves, bandits, soldiers, assassins, demi-humans, ..... It doesn't matter what kind of background or cultivation they have, as long as one willed it, they can enter this place.

The Dragon Gate will decide a special kind of battlefield to showcase their talents. Their performance will be witnessed by everyone through Spiritual Screens. ( Note: Consider them as T.V.s :) )

They will be ranked according to their results.

Those with good rankings will be rewarded with Heaven Defying opportunities by the Dragon Gate itself.

No one know where this Dragon Gate came from but it existed for a long time. You should have heard about the snake that became a Divine dragon, right. It was said that this snake encountered a Legacy at this place. Because of the Legacy, it was able to become a Divine Dragon.

So, these opportunities are something all the geniuses will go crazy for.

This can also be considered as a recruitment competition. Because all the forces: the Great Dragon Empire, Super sects, Alchemy Association, various acadamies, sub sects, Royal families will start accepting disciples after the Dragon Gate closed.

So for those juniors, it is a place to gain fame and acheive their dreams."

Li Wei listened the whole thing without missing a single word. His eyes shone and shone as the time passed.

"Dragon Gate...." Li Wei decided to go to this place. As for joining Heavens Favoured Sect, he will consider after returning from Dragon Gate.
