17. The sect

At the gates, lots of female guards were patrolling.

When they saw four people approaching the gate, they wanted to go and ask them about their business.

*Whooosh*

But before that, the elder that was guarding the gate rushed past the female guards and went to greet the people.

Of course, the people were Yan, Xie, Lan and Ace.

The guards were surprised by the attitude of the elder but they soon understood why.

"Greetings three flowers. We were getting really worried that you were not coming back." The elder woman said with a slight bow.

Some people might not understand why an elder in the martial lord realm was being so courteous to a disciple that wasn't even a core disciple, but older elders who reached the end of their potential would understand.

'These three are the future expert of the sect. If I can gain their attention, maybe they'll help me advance to the next realm before I die.' She thought in her mind.

But then she looked at the fourth person accompanying them and asked

"And... who is this?"

Since Yan was in the lead, she was the one who needed to respond to her question.

She blushed and said really quietly

"H-he is our b-boyfriend."

no one except the elder who was right next to her heard Yan.

The elder stood there dumbfounded for a while before thinking

'Their boyfriend? Wait! THEIR boyfriend?! So he doesn't only have one of them, he has the three flowers as his?!"

Only now did she focus on Acewhile her mind was exploding.

'Hmmm... a martial expert, he seems pretty young and... really handsome. I don't know about his character yet, but if he can make the flowers, not one, but three, that hate men to their core his girlfriends, then he must be special.' She analyzed.

"Y-you can enter." The elder soon said before allowing them entry into the sect.

As Aceand the three girls were visiting the sect ground, the elder from, earlier came rushing into the sect master's palace.

She barged into the palace while guards were yelling at her for being impolite.

When she entered, a lot of the core elders, grand elders and more were talking about the sect's affairs, business, etc.

They all looked at the new arrival, and before anyone could say anything, the gate elder kneeled and said loudly

"Sect master and elders, I apologize for the intrusion, but I have some big news concerning the sect master's interest!"

The sect master looked at the kneeling elder without any emotion

"You may continue." she allowed the elder to say the news.

"It is concerning your future disciples, sect master." When the sect master and present elders heard that, many raised their eyebrows, including the sect master.

"They just came back with no injury on them, which is good as we were beginning to worry, but they didn't come back alone."

"They came back with a man. And from my understanding, the three flowers are his..."

When she said that, many present elders opened their eyes wide.

It was clearly known among them that the sect master would accept them as her disciples when they became core disciples, so any news concerning them was of utmost importance.

It was well known the three hated men to their core, so their coming back with a man, and being in a relationship with them was immense news.

You might ask how a relationship was such big news?

Well being in one, they might be more lax while cultivating, or maybe even cultivate more. It would also affect the mind, which was a big part of cultivation as you need to comprehend techniques, so if a relationship goes bad, it will badly affect the cultivation. But similarly, if a relationship goes well, the cultivation would go more smoothly as your love would soothe your mind.

So relationships are a two-edged sword.

And now, the best geniuses of the sect, the next pillars are now dating the same man.

So except for some interest in how he managed to make the three-man haters fall for him, they needed to check him and make sure he wasn't there for bad reasons.

All of the elders present except for the gate elder were martial ancestor realm and the sect master was even higher, in the martial saint realm.

They all moved at the same time, activated different techniques for stealth and went to stalk-I mean observe the mysterious man.

Back to Ace and his girls, they were strolling around the empty streets of the sect as most of the disciples were most of the time away doing missions.

It was really beautiful. It was the first time Ace ever saw such paysage in his life and he was dumbfounded.

But suddenly, Ace and his heavenly eyes which can see through the darkness, but also through every illusion or stealth technique caught sight of a group of more than 15 ladies watching him from the clouds.

Seeing them he kinda knew why they were there, as he was accompanying the three geniuses of their sect so he stopped looking at them and continued enjoying his girlfriends who were pridefully presenting their sect to their love.
