Elder Zhao

"That's a fight. Now I don't doubt myself that you are truly a talented cultivator" Elder Hu said to Li Wei while smiling. This is the first and last time that he will accept a disciple even though he wanted to find a good youth with a bright future he didn't expect to find one treasure that even the sect will fight for.

'With just that strange sword technique he can beat many people and fight plenty of strong demonic beasts for someone who is in the same or higher realm as him. Truly a good catch" Elder Hu thought with an even broader smile.

'The only thing left is to groom him to be the husband of my granddaughter and everything is good and I can rest peacefully' Elder Hu thought while thinking of his troublesome granddaughter.

'They are at the same age and are still venturing this world. They will be a perfect match' While Elder Hu is thinking of his evil plans to groom Li Wei to be his soon grandson-in-law, the latter just smiled at the compliment that is given to him.

"Although I am strong at some people of my own generation I cannot be arrogant or else it will be my end. After all, there are many strong people out in this vast world" Li Wei replied to Elder Hu, which brought the old man out of his evil plans.

"It's good that you know but sometimes you need to be arrogant and act tough in order to show what you are made of, that you aren't a coward" Elder Hu said while grinning even more.

He feels like he catches the rarest and the most valuable fish in the world in the place where most trash gathers and a place that fish don't even lives.

"Brother Hu look at how lucky you are to find a fine young man to be your disciple" Another Elder chimes in at their conversation.

"Brother Zhao don't even try to think of trying to highen the price that I paid for this guy" At the interruption of another elder of the sect called Elder Zhao, Yin Hu feels like this guy must be plotting something.

"No, it looks like you are mistaking my intention, I just want to really congratulate you since you finally have a disciple" Elder Zhao said with a smile.

"No need to tell me that" Elder Hu replied.

"Brat, it looks like you are talented with swords how about I teach you a technique?" Hearing the reply of his so-called Brother Hu, Elder Zhao suddenly asks Li Wei a technique.

"No need for that, my master will teach me those and I don't want to disturb you" Li Wei replied in a courteous tone.

He already knew what the other party is thinking, they might have already seen his performance in the beast tide and they want to grab him but the problem is that he already knew who this elder is.

'Elder Zhao Ning is a spy placed by the Iron Sword Sect. He is their informant since the Iron Sword Sect wanted to control the Valley of Delights so badly' Li Wei thought to himself while feigning ignorance and not even minding the other party's blatant shameless action.

If he did accept those teaching of him then that's the same as him acknowledging him as his teacher but he wants to be away from his eyes since he knew how dangerous this guy is.

Iron Sword Sect has many reasons to control the Valley of Delights but the main reason is that the place where the Valley of Delights stood is easy to defend but is hard to attack.

The Iron Sword Sect is just a little bit farther than them but they can use this sect as a base to protect their sect since the two largest sects in this area are just the Iron Sword Sect and the Iron Fist Sect in which the Valley of Delights is so much further than the Iron Fist Sect.

The Iron Sword Sect can still use the Valley of Delights as a place to use in order to defend against any attacks from Iron Fist Sect, these two sects have always been in tension and a little bit of unbalanced between the two sect's power will always result in a fight to try to test the waters.

These two sects have been controlling most powers in the Qing Dynasty. Even the royals can't do anything but to just be silent and accommodate any special guest coming from the two sects.

'This Elder Zhao is strong, he should be at the peak of Nascent Soul Realm. Just one breakthrough and he will be at the same level as the sect master of the Valley of Delights' Li Wei thought since he and Xiao Jing have learned who Elder Zhao is a little bit too late that their sect has been plotted many times and there are plenty of traitors in the sect that is under the recommendation of Elder Zhao after the war started.

If Xiao Jing doesn't have a monstrous power due to her talent and the grooming that the sect did then they will have a hard time killing Elder Zhao.

With the two of them teaming up they easily killed him but the damage has already been done by then. Their sect is forced to defend against many mid-size sects for too many times that they can only preserve their force.

They didn't even win anything in the war aside from the fact that their sect survives the war and can still continue its legacy.

He can't really make a difference in the war since he only became strong enough to fight people in the upper echelons of those large sects after the war under Xiao Jing's guidance to him.

'Everything will change and I will make sure of that. I will make sure that I will bring the greatest benefit the war can bring me' Li Wei thought to himself due to his desire for more power.

At the many thought that is in Li Wei's head, a sudden voice came into interruption that brought him back to his current situation.

"The results will be sent to you after 10 minutes so all of you should rest for now and wait for the results" Elder Mao Chen's sophisticated voice can be heard loud for everyone to hear.

Seeing this as an opportunity to leave this awkward situation since Elder Zhao and Elder Hu have some problems in their relationship. Li Wei didn't choose to dilly dally so he spoke the next moment.

"I think I need to change my attire first since it will be inappropriate to get in the sect with my current look now. I hope my master and Elder Zhao would understand and will excuse me for a moment" Li Wei said while cupping his hands and bowing his head slightly.

"Ah! Right, now that you are my disciple, the other disciple of the sect should see you as someone to look in high regards so you should at least look good to make a good impression in them" His master, Elder Hu replied.

"I agree, since you have already rejected what I am here for then I won't bother you for now" Elder Zhao also said to the two of them while nodding lightly.

Hearing the response of the two he bowed again and nodded.

Li Wei quickly leaves to find a secluded place and after using his senses and enhancing it with a little bit of qi. He quickly found a spot where no one is in the area and he quickly undressed his clothes and washed himself with the water that is stored in his storage ring.

He made sure to clean the blood of the beasts in his body and using his qi to clean his skin.

Qi is really so useful once you know how to manipulate it. He also noticed that some of the wounds in his body like wounds that came from claw marks of various beasts have already closed but the marks look like it won't be gone anytime soon.

He has many claw marks on his body and there is at least no bite mark that came from a Darth Viper since that beast is poisonous and dealing with poison is troublesome.

His golden spirit root must be at its limit for now since it has been healing his body and trying to recover some of his energy while he is doing many things for in the beast tide.

After cleaning himself and making sure that he looks presentable and pleasing to the eye, he returned to the examination grounds since the result will come out sooner or later.

He finds Elder Hu and when he saw him he quickly stands by his side. The latter just gives him a look and a nod.

"You look presentable now but you need to take a bath and make sure to look good once we returned to the sect since I want to introduce you to someone special" Elder Hu said to him.

To which he replied with an arched eyebrow and by saying "Do I smell bad?".
