Chapter 94.2
However, despite his initial disappointment, the old man was reluctant to give up on the two people. It would be a pity for such promising individuals to become casual cultivators. Reluctantly, he spoke again, “You pretended to be my disciple, why don’t you want me to be your master now?”
Upon hearing the words ‘pretend to be a disciple’, Cheng Qi looked at Li Tianyan curiously. This person must be Elder Tian Min. He remembered back then when their cultivation was low and they had no background. Li Tianyan had accepted the identity as Elder Tian Min’s disciple out of concern for the Hou family’s potential hostility, but he did not expect the real Elder Tian Min came to meet them today.
Li Tianyan had guessed it long ago, and there was no emotion on his face. “Others misunderstood me at first, it was not my fault.”
“But you didn’t deny it either. It’s not easy to be a casual cultivator. You two are so talented. You should come back to the sect with me. At least the spiritual energy there is more abundant than in the mortal world, which will help you practice,” the old man urged, sighing heavily. He never thought he would humble himself and begging others to be a disciple.
But when he talked about the sect, Cheng Qi was not pleased. He puffed up his cheeks and said with an unhappy face, “I don’t want to go to any sect. Your sect is full of bad people, they even wanted to kill someone. You just want to arrest me and the young master, why are you still coaxing? Who knows what kind of have bad intentions you hide from us.”
Upon hearing this, the old man’s face immediately darkened. “Is there such a thing? Didn’t I tell them not to harm you? Why would anyone want to kill you?”
Initially, the sect only wanted to investigate the reason for the disappearance of the secret realm, but later they confirmed the two people had taken the treasures.
However, these two individuals had used his name to gain fame in Yuncheng, and the news about them was sent together with another cultivator who had done many evil things. The sect thought the three people were in cahoots, so they issued a mission to arrest them. But now, he just wanted to bring these two back.
Hearing that a female cultivator from the sect had rescued them, Tian Min was secretly relieved. Lin Hong finally gave the sect some dignity back. But then Cheng Qi continued, “Later, the male cultivator discussed with her to kill us together. The inheritance treasures will be shared equally between them privately. Although I don’t know if the female cultivator agreed in the end, but she found our whereabouts without bringing other disciples with her, and pursued us alone, so...” Cheng Qi shrugged, leaving the implication clear.
Elder Tian Min: “...”
Li Tianyan kept staring at the old man in front of him, not missing any subtle changes on his face. It seemed that the old man didn’t appear to be lying anyway.
“I will investigate this matter and give you two an explanation. If that disciple is found guilty, he will be punished according to the sect’s rules and regulations. But you should come back to the sect with me; otherwise, there’s no point in staying in Jincheng,” Elder Tian Min said sincerely to the two of them.
If they joined the sect as his disciples, they could live in his Qingdan Palace, and naturally, no one would dare to attack them again in the future.
“What if you’re just trying to trick us?” Cheng Qi pouted unhappily.
Tian Min suddenly burst out laughing, “Little friends, if I really wanted to pry into your affairs, do you think I still need to try so hard coaxing you? No matter how powerful your husband is, he is no match for me now.”
Having said that, Tian Min still admired Li Tianyan very much. He originally thought that if the young man couldn’t defeat the snake demon, he would take action to end it for him. Who would have expected that this kid could solve it with just one formation?
