Chapter 27: Yin Flower Crippling Art - 2
"Good good good. You are a worthy young man. No wonder this girl was head over heals for you. She was even ready to sacrifice her life in exchange for your life. Not bad indeed."
Ling Tian praised him with a slight smile.
Hearing that, Shi Shengjie tense nerves loosened up. He sighed in relief as he thought, 'It seems like I was over sensitive. How could someone with such high cultivation be immoral. It must be that he was healing sister Su Ya or something, After all, she too sustained heavy injuries earlier.'
He then looked at Ling Tian earnestly and spoke, "No no no. this one dare not to accept such high praise from your greatness. As long I can get my wife back, that's all I nee-"
"A pity that I can't give her to you anymore."
Before he could finish, Ling Tian interjected with a shake of his head, cutting his words off midway.
Can't give anymore?
Shi Shengjie's eyes instantly narrowed into slits. His relaxed body once again tensed up, "Your highness, what do you mean?"
He looked at Ling Tian's masked face uneasily. Surely he must have heard his words wrongly, right?
"Just as I said, I can't give her to you anymore."
Ling Tian repeated his words again with a leisure smile.
Seeing that smile, Shi Shengjie couldn't help but feel like feel like he is being toyed. His fists clenched in anger. But suppressing himself, he opened his lips, "Your majesty must be joking. Surely someone of your realm won't lower yourself to keep a lowly man's wife forcefully, right?"
His tone, though still respectful as before, there was a hint scorn and coldness to it.
"Sigh~ It's not that I want to keep your wife forcefully. But It can't be helped. Because, she is now my disciple ! It's her destiny to join my sect; and no one can defy that fate, not even me."
Ling Tian acted like he didn't notice that Shi Shengjie's change of tone and sighed emotionally.
Sect?
Disciple?
Hearing that, as if stuck by lightning, Shi Shengjie went into daze.
What does it mean to join a sect?
In the whole Eastern Coastal Region, there are multiple super factions whose strength can crush his Fierce Tiger Kingdom within minutes. But even such forces dare not to call themselves Sects. At most, they are considered as sub sects.
As for the real Sacred Sects, he heard that they only exist in Central Main Region. Not even the rich Northern Coastal Region had one.
For one to become a disciple of a sect, It like a fish leaping into a dragon gate. Even an ordinary mortal can gain a high status incomparable to a ruler of a Nation.
If what the masked man told is true, then sister Su Ya will definitely have boundless future. But the thing is... a disciple of a sect can never have martial relation with those outside their sect !
It is an undisputed rule that separated many couples across the history !
Shi Shengjie couldn't help but feel despair. If sister Su Ya had already joined his sect, that means, it's the ultimate end for them, Unless...
"Revered master, can I also join your sect?"
Shi Shengjie went onto his knees and kowtowed on the ground heavily.
This is the only way to be with her. He knew the chances of this happening is next to zero. While his talent in cultivation might be praiseworthy in his kingdom, it is nothing but trash infront of those Sects. But for his love's sake, he couldn't help but try to hold onto that last straw of hope.
Too bad he is bound to be disappointed.
"My sect only accept female disciples."
Ling Tian replied gently, destroying his last straw of hope.
Shi Shengjie's eyes reddened. He couldn't help but feel powerless.
Is there really no other way?
He was about to drown into despair, but suddenly, a thud sound echoed infront of him.
Lifting his head up tearfully, he noticed the Jade slip fell on the ground right before him. He hesitantly took it into his hand looked at the words carved on it.
"Yin Flower Crippling Art."
Yin Flower Crippling Art? A cultivation Technique?, With a perplexed expression, he turned to the masked young man on the throne.
"Seeing that you are sincere, I will give a chance. A month from now, at Celestial Dragon Convention, defeat her. Defeat her in a battle. Then I might consider taking you as a slave to my sect. Do remember it is only as a slave, not as a disciple.
Oh, one more thing. At that time, her cultivation will be at least Qi Condensation Realm Peak stage or even Core Formation Realm. Without practicing this cultivation technique, you won't even stand a chance. But...
Practicing it.. will have consequences, irreversible consequences that you might not want to. So don't blame me later."
With a mysterious smile, Ling Tian spoke to the blank Shi Shengjie.
Instantly, Shi Shengjie almost dead eyes, as if set ablaze, shone brightly for second before becoming dull.
Holding the jade slip in his palm tightly, he got up and gave Ling Tian a deep bow. Then he turned around and started walking away calmly without saying anything.
"A gift my little devil Feifei found in an ancient ruins. I really want to know if it really works as written. I hope you won't disappoint me."
Chuckling lightly, Ling Tian retracted his gaze from the disappearing young man and looked at the sleeping Su Ya in his arms.
"How long are you going to keep that act. You think I didn't notice that you already woke up?"
Whispering in Su Ya's ear, Ling Tian smacked her bottom over her clothes.
