Aftermath

Meng Luan looked at Xiao Tian and said faintly. "He may act shameless sometimes, but he never runs from responsibility."

Xiao Tian chuckled. "Sister Luan, you wound me."

Li Liang smiled for the first time in a long while. "Your Highness, the sect is open to you, as your second home."

"I'll remember that," Xiao Tian said with a nod.

Just as they were finishing their tea, the sound of hurried footsteps approached.

A beautiful figure in white robes, her long hair cascading down like a silken waterfall, stepped into the pavilion.

Li Suxin.

She paused at the entrance upon seeing Xiao Tian.

"Father," she bowed to Li Liang, then turned to Xiao Tian. "Your Highness…"

Xiao Tian nodded lightly.

"Suxin, please entertain his highness. I need to do something." Li Liang gave a meaningful glance to his daughter and said. He wanted to tie his daughter to Xiao Tian to build a connection.

Xiao Tian has already accepted his daughter as his maid; the initial relationship was already formed.

Li Suxin brought Xiao Tian to the back garden while Meng Luan once again retreated into the shadows.

"Your highness, I want to thank you..." Suxin said with a steady but low tone.

"No thanks needed; I made a promise. Li Suxin, you have to understand that you are my maid now, my woman. I will protect you." Xiao Tian said with a soft yet confident smile. 

Li Suxin couldn't help but blush and felt excited inwardly. As long as he was willing to accept her, she was ready to do anything. 

...

On the other side, sect master Li Liang passed an order. The Purple Mist sect will hold a banquet to thank Xiao Tian for saving the sect.

"Sister Luan, I want you to go and look for Ye Fan's trace; he should be nearby." Xiao Tian said to Meng Luan while he and Li Suxin walked around, chatting alone. 

"Ye Fan? Why do you care about an ordinary young man?" Meng Luan was puzzled and asked.

"He is not an ordinary person; just do it, but don't let him notice you." Xiao Tian spoke again.

"Okay!" Meng Luan nodded. Although she was curious, she followed his instructions.

...

Hiding in the dark, Ye Fan gritted his teeth secretly when he saw Li Suxin and Xiao Tian together. He was about to flee, but his master told him that there was a rare treasure buried in the back mountains of the Purple Mist Sect.

Before leaving, he would take away that treasure. He just came here to meet Li Liang, as he needed permission of the sect master to enter the back mountains. 

He was still a personal disciple of the sect master, so it wouldn't be too difficult to obtain the permission. Last time, his entry to the back mountains was delayed due to Xiao Tian's presence.

Just came out; didn't expect to see such a scene.

"Ye Fan, since you call me master, listen to my persuasion. Don't mess with that prince now; he is dangerous for your current self. If you are willing to endure and practise, your achievements in the future may not be weaker than his. But right now, you are not his match." Master Lu's voice sounded in his ears.

Master Lu was much more knowledgeable and experienced; he could see the extraordinariness of Xiao Tian. He was not an ordinary person; his strength and talent were higher than he showed.

If Master Lu were given a second chance, he would choose Xiao Tian over Ye Fan. But he was already bound to Ye Fan.

At this time, two of them didn't realise at all that there was a pair of eyes in the void, staring at them all the time.

"Divine artefact, sword spirit... it's interesting. No wonder that lad is interested in this kid."

Soon after...

The Purple Mist Sect was brightly lit, and a feast was held. From the inside to the outside of the hall, it was full of decorations. 

Not only did people of the purple mist sect attend the banquet; the surrounding clans and powers also came. They all wanted to meet Xiao Tian.

When Xiao Tian went to the banquet, everyone got up.

"Thank you, your highness."

People all shouted as they expressed their feelings. Xiao Tian simply waved his hand in response.

"Your Highness, this rejuvenation pill is a small gift. It has the effect of nourishing blood and vitality. I hope your highness will accept this small gift of mine."

"Your Highness, this is a fifth-rank spiritual snow lotus."

Along with the cheers, Xiao Tian was bombarded with many gifts.

For a while, Xiaot Tian was in the limelight.

Li Suxin was wearing a long white moon dress, standing beside him, accompanying Xiao Tian. She looked gorgeous and stunning.

However, her current title was of a maid; she was pouring wine for him and peeling fruits. 

She had become the maid of Xiao Tian; it was no longer a secret; everyone knew this.

Li Suxin didn't feel inferior because of her status as a maid; on the contrary, she was generous with a bright and moving smile on her beautiful face.

The rest of the women present were all envious when they saw it.

Being able to hold the thighs of the son of the sword emperor, it will be worry-free for future generations; even the whole sacred land will enjoy the blessing along with her.

It's a pity; they were not as good as Li Suxin.

After the banquet was over...

Li Suxin helped Xiao Tian back to the bedroom to rest. She was starting to get the hang of her job.
