21: Heavenly Cloud Daoist

...

"Junior brother, watch over the assessment for me" Li fei shouted towards the young man who had descended with her, lightly handing him her heavenly mirror..

"Come with me" she then turned to xiao Chen and forcefully grabbed his hands before flying off..

"I- what?" The young man was startled, he didn't know why she ran off with someone who wasn't even apart of the sect yet, but even so he was in no position to ask, he knew his place in the sect, he could only shake his head and continue with the new outer disciple assessment..

...

"F*ck what's going on" xiao Chen shouted at the girl who had forcefully grabbed his hand as if she was trying to kidnap him, what was even crazier was that he didn't even have a choice wether or not if he wanted to go..

"Stop talking, my master what's to see you" Li fei said In an annoyed tone, but she smiled forcefully and felt like smacking xiao Chen's head..

"Y-you, what are you going to do to me?" Xiao Chen asked hastily, he knew if they had any weird fetishes and wanted to do anything to him then he really had no choice, this young girl was already so strong, what about her master?

"System help me" he felt like saying this out loud, but he was helplessly dragged across the sky..

....

Swoosh!!!

An old man in luxurious white robes appeared in front of Li fei as he stroked his beard, his eyes staring up and down at xiao Chen as if he found a treasure..

"F*ck me, they really are weird" xiao Chen felt a chill as the old man's eyes flashed over his body..

"Master" Li fei Bowed respectfully to the heavenly cloud daoist who had suddenly appeared.

"What a great talent, fei'er his talent is no less than yours, it might be even better" the old man said.

"Ah!, is he really that good?" Li fei was startled for a second, she knew xiao chen's talent was good but she wasn't expecting it to exceed even her own..

A slight flash of jealousy appeared in her eyes as she watched xiao Chen who uncomfortably stood atop a cloud..

"Kid, this old heavenly daoist wishes to accept you as a disciple?, what do you think" heavenly cloud daoist master said with a laugh as he stared at xiao Chen..

"Disciple your ass" xiao Chen said in his mind, even so he didn't dare to say it out loud..

"May I know who senior is" xiao Chen Bowed respectfully, this could be a good or bad idea, it was better to think this over clearly..

"Brat, I am the sect master of the heavenly cloud mountain and the founder of the sect" the old man said with another laugh, he seemed extremely excited suddenly..

"Ah?" Xiao Chen was shocked, he wasn't expecting to meet the sect master so early, he had expected that this master of the fierce young girl was some ordinary elder, but never did he expect it was actually the sect elder himself..

"Kid, as long as you take me as your disciple you won't lack in resources in the sect and no one will bully you" heavenly cloud daoist said with a serious tone..

"Hmm" xiao Chen thought for a bit, he was about to accept the offer when he remembered the system telling him that he was already apprenticed to an otherworldly expert..

"System, is it possible to accept this old man as a master too?" He asked in his mind..

[yes it is possible, after all this sect master is only a small plankton compared to your master, he wouldn't mind at all] the system's mechanical voice sounded off in his head..

Xiao Chen listened closely to the system's words, he was relieved, but even so becoming the sect masters disciple would make things too easy for him, he wanted to do things by himself, after a while he came up with a new idea..

"Respected elder, this lowly one can promise to become your disciple only under a few conditions" xiao Chen raised a finger as he said so..

Li fei and heavenly cloud daoist who had heard this nearly staggered and fell from the sky..

They really couldn't believe their ears, they thought they heard wrong but after noticing the expression on both their faces they knew that they had heard it very clearly..

"F*ck" Li fei roared in her mind, many experts on this continent would go crazy just to become the disciple of the heavenly cloud daoist, yet this kid actually had conditions..

Ahem**

Old master heavenly cloud coughed lightly, he wanted to hear xiao Chen's conditions, if anything he must have xiao Chen as his disciple no matter what..

Seeing the old daoist nodding, xiao Chen let out a soft sigh of relief before saying..

"First, I don't want anyone in the sect to know I'm your disciple for now, secondly I won't accept any resources from you, I want to struggle for them on my own, third I will start as a outer disciple and climb up on my own" xiao Chen said with a loon of seriousness in his eyes..

Heavenly cloud daoist felt shocked, but after thinking for a while his eyes lit up, if xiao Chen wasn't always protected by him he would face a lot of trouble, but even so every cultivator had to go through dangerous situations to temper themselves, he even felt that xiao Chen was quite like able, Li fei on the other hand had used the heavenly cloud daoist masters backing to cause havoc throughout the sect, any treasure she wanted was gained by her easily all due to her master, even so she was strong, but if xiao Chen went through all that tempering and struggled endlessly then he would definitely be stronger than her by many folds.

Heavenly cloud daoist nodded "it's settled then, you will be I, heavenly cloud daoist's 2nd disciple, if you need help with cultivation don't hesitate to contact me through your elder apprentice sister, Li fei help him get his outer disciple belongings and cultivation cave" the old man said joyfully, he stared at xiao Chen for a while before disappearing..

"I have a lot of expectations for you my disciple" those were the only words he left behind before disappearing through the air.

"Senior apprentice sister, this young ones name is xiao Chen" xiao Chen bowed towards Li fei and said respectfully..

"Junior apprentice brother is so cute, my name is Li fei, you can call me sister Li or anything you prefer" Li fei said with a smile that seemed to lit up the seemingly clear sky..

Xiao Chen felt a drop of sweat down his back, he felt like her change in attitude towards her was way too different, she treated him like a younger brother..

"Junior brother xiao Chen lets go get your outer disciple necessities" she said with a smile before pulling xiao Chen's hand once again before flying off..

...

High in the sky, the heavenly cloud daoist sat atop a golden throne as he stroked his beard..

"I didn't think I would find another talented disciple so soon, and this one is too monstrous" heavenly cloud daoist said with a smile as he drank some fragrant wine..

His golden throne slowly moving across the sky above the heavenly cloud sect..

"Hopefully the sect can pass through this tribulation" he sighed deeply, he could only shake his head as xiao Chen's face flashed in his mind..

"Xiao Chen is it?, you remind me of my younger self" he said with a laugh, remembering the scene where he crossed the vicious seas and battled army's of sea monsters while going through endless trouble, all until he was able to finally create this sect..

"Breaking through to the next realm above the heavenly passage realm is too hard, these old bag of bones won't allow another breakthrough" he sighed with emotion, that was a realm he had always wanted to reach in his lifetime, yet a realm like that was impossible to achieve by people with his talent, all his hope was placed on xiao Chen and Li fei..

"The sect won't be peaceful this year" he said with a smile, he had a sudden feeling that xiao Chen asking to fight his own battles and strengthen himself was as if he knew that he would have to compete a lot in the sect..

Heavenly cloud daoist looked at the disappearing backs of xiao Chen and Li fei happily as he took off adopt he golden throne that was comparable to the sun itself.."
