Staying At Ice Palace
After listening to the story by Xu Ye, Qing Lan understood all the ins and outs. But still this man met her disciple in the forest, and she said that he was there to train for sect selection. Although the things he told her could be true, but she believed that maybe this man had some ulterior motives and she decided it that if he indeed has some motives then she would kill him right now irrespective whether he saved her disciple or not.
"Young man if what my disciple said is true then I have to thank you for saving her from that ice fox and do tell me if you have any request for an item or artifact if so, we will try to accommodate with your request if it is feasible and possible," said Qing Lan.
Qing Lan knew if he requested something now then she can relax because most likely he only helped her for some benefits in return and now knowing that she is the saintess he would try to get something for helping her and this will end but if he denies the offer and still says that he just did it out of goodwill then she can be sure either he is scheming something or he is truly innocent.
"Vice sects master I don't want anything in return for helping her" said Li Tian and by now Qing Lan was sure he has some other motives for her just when she was about to refute his statement and deal with him, she heads Xu Ye say "Master he is Li Tian and is the Young Master of Li Family"
When Qing Lan heard her disciple, she almost fell from her seat she thought about what she was about to do and shuddered after thinking what the consequences would have been if she had really applied soul search on him by force. If she really did that then forget about her and her disciple life even the whole sect will be pulled in the onslaught.
"So its young master Li sorry for my earlier tone but I have to really thank the heaven that you were present there when Xu Ye faced that beast otherwise who knows what would have happened" said Qing Lan but this time her words were more sincere and meaningful because now she knows that in front her the man standing is not some unnamed cultivator but the next head of the strongest of the 4 family and also the leader of this generation.
She can't offend The Li family in the slightest because if she does so then who knows what may happen with their sect. But this time really heavens were in their sect's favour as she now can try to build some friendly connections with the Li Family.
"No problem sect leader and you may call me Li Tian no need to call me young master after all you are the sect leader," said Li Tian
"Okay Li Tian as you wish" responded Qing Lan with a smile even Xu Ye was amazed after seeing her smile because it has been many years since she last showed her smiling face. Xu Ye also knew that if he were any other cultivator in front of her then she would have not shown this side of her but right now it was different.
"So, are you going to participate in the Sect recruitment this year?" asked Qing Lan with curiosity because his talents were widely known in the world and many people also knew about his latest breakthroughs, so everybody wanted to recruit him in their sect at any condition.
"Yes, I plan to do so but there are still around 20 days before the start of recruitment ceremony so I will just go into the wilderness and try to search for some cave or some secret realms to cultivate," said Li Tian.
"You can stay in our sect till the ceremony and regarding a secret realm why not go try your luck in the secret realm near our sect right now we have taken full control of that realm, and we charge spirit stones for entry, but you can visit there anytime for free and then later we can go together to the recruitment ceremony," said Qing Lan
So, this woman wants me to go together with them to the ceremony to boost their image in the world and then to achieve benefits later, but I don't think there is any problem with that this will only make my work easier to subdue Xu Ye and I will also form a friendship with this sect leader who will help me take Xu Ye down.
"I agree with this arrangement Sect master and would like to rest for few days before heading towards the secret realm is that fine," said Li Tian. Well, he was hitting 2 targets with a single stone as he could easily take Xu Ye down now and can also explore a secret realm.
"Yes, I will make the arrangements for that now here you can take this token this will help you travel across our sect without stoppage and you can also enter the secret realm with this" said Qing Lan while giving a token to Li Tian
"Xu Ye you act as a guide for him and can show around his room and sect," said Qing Lan
"Okay master" replied Xu Ye while bowing and then the two left to explore the sect. Right now, Qing Lan was left alone in the room, and she couldn't stop her heart from beating rapidly she thought "Why…. Why…. are you beating so rapidly I thought I had left all such emotions behind but it seems not just why was He so handsome well, but I should probably focus on other things rather than something meaningless which is only a fantasy which will never happen"
Qing Lan called all the elders and a few core disciple of the sect and informed them about the arrival of Li Tian and also told them that he will be staying in the sect till the recruitment ceremony. Even all the elders were surprised by this sudden guest, but they were not angry of his arrival instead they thought about extending a hand of friendship towards the Li Family after all if they really befriend Li Tian and Li Family then they could easily become a part of the upper rank sects.
Soon the news of arrival of Li Tian spread throughout the sect and everyone was also surprised and wanted to see the rumoured most handsome man, but some people were dumbstruck as now they knew that the one who came back with Their Saintess was none other than Li Tian himself.
Even a rumour started regarding the relation between their Saintess and Li Tian well both were truly a match made for each other there was no doubt regarding that.
