章 72: The Scheme

The Old Man felt his cheeks burning up as he looked down to find a tent. Oops, that lady's secret view seemed to have influenced him. But what can he do? As a straight guy, this is natural.

He smiled amiably and said to everyone "Kiddos, this is the most sincere admiration you can show to beauty. In fact, you don't even have to try it. Your body feels its responsibility and shows its respect instinctively. Haha." an awkward chuckle escaped his mouth.

Everyone rolled their eyes at the Pervert who tried to claim his dirty deed as a noble thing.

Sheng Tian also wanted to punch the man. This is not what he calculated!

The Old Man waved his hand and soon they were hundreds of feet high in the air. Sheng Tian's robes fluttered as he looked at the Old Man in front.

On the face of the Old Man, all of his previous pervertedness, foolishness was gone. Only incomparably seriousness and deepness remained.

But Sheng Tian knew it was all a facade.

This fellow in front of him, behind his current mask of seriousness was nothing more than a horny Old Man who simply wants to enjoy the pleasures of flesh! He is a beast!

Sheng Tian became a little vigilant considering his own handsomeness.

The Old Man looked at Sheng Tian with interest and spoke "Little Brat, consider yourself lucky that I saved you. After seeing that you are so stupid to recklessly provoke experts and nearly die, I want to teach you some 'common sense'. So, I can be considered as your master." he spoke as if it was a fact.

Sheng Tian gazed at the Old Man, there was no trace of emotion in his eyes. Only calmness and indifference with a trace of curiosity.

The Old Man saw him not making any remarks or showing surprise, he felt embarrassed. He yelled "Why are you still not kowtowing to your master? Hurry up!"

Sheng Tian chuckled lightly perplexing the old man.

Sheng Tian was only a few feet away from the Old Man now. He spoke calmly "Say, Old Man, Did you really think I couldn't escape a mere Emperor realm expert?" there was a tinge of playfulness in his eyes and his words were totally arrogant.

The Perverted Old Man who heard this was first stunned, then he glared at Shen Tian and spoke "For a young man, you are too arrogant. Even though you are talented, that's it. There is a sky beyond the sky, a person beyond person."

Sheng Tian laughed and spoke even more arrogantly "Exactly! You don't know what I can do."

The old man started to get annoyed. He felt that this young man was way too arrogant. But his talent is unprecedented, he really wanted him to join his sect.

"Little Brat, Enough with that. I am your master now, come to my sect." He spoke as Sheng Tian felt the air around him tighten.

Finding the overbearing old man funny, he teased "I say, Old Man, I am fine with becoming the disciple of a sect but not the least bit interested to become your disciple."

"What balls you have little one?" The Old Man was enraged. Wasn't this akin to belittling him and slapping his face? Even though he didn't want to kill such a talent, he wanted to teach him a harsh lesson to respect the Elders.

Sheng Tian, least bothered spoke unhurriedly "I only accept female masters. I wanted to form a deep bond of Master&Disciple. So, whoever my master is, it has to be a beautiful goddess, not an Old Pervert." he added "This is the path of my cultivation. I follow it with all my heart. If you force me to be your disciple, you will affect my Dao heart, affecting my path of cultivation."

Xiao Lian who was in the Snow Glazed Lotus felt her cheeks redden. But she couldn't do anything about it and sighed in defeat.

The Old Man listened to Sheng Tian's passionate speech and sensed something resonating between them.

He felt that Sheng Tian looked similar to him when he was young, except he was more handsome than Sheng Tian.

'Wasn't he also speaking what I spoke all those years ago? Didn't I too dream of having goddess level beauty as my master?

If so, then how can I destroy his sweet dreams because of my selfishness? Aii, I couldn't fulfill my dream, at least let him achieve it.' he thought and steeled his heart; calmed his mind.

He looked at Sheng Tian, this time, he sensed there seemed to be something common between them. They both seemed to come from the same roots "Pervertedness."

Hence he, as an Old Pervert has decided to support the Young Pervert.

After all, isn't it the responsibility of the Older generation to see that the Younger generation is on the right path?

Nodding his head as a sign of approval and consoling himself that Sheng Tian will still be a part of the sect, he declared "Fine then. You are not qualified to be my disciple and it was only a stroke of luck that I gave you the chance. Since you rejected it now, don't come crying later. Let's go to our Sect-Mystic Ice."

"Alright, Old Man. Since you are begging me so much, let me join your sect. Let it be known prior to that once I joined your sect, even if you guys don't want to, you will all ascend to heavens by hugging my thighs. Don't feel embarrassed then."

The Old Man almost fell face first when he heard the brat's words. Was it really a clever decision on his part to let this fellow join their sect? Isn't this guy a bit too.....arrogant, narcist?

*Sigh* But this Old Man would never do a mistake, he told himself.

Let this brat be full of himself before he hits an iron wall and learns the harsh truths. As his Senior, he shouldn't start bullying him right after taking him into the sect.

And with a flick of his finger, a profound boat treasure appeared. It was floating in the air. Sheng Tian's eyes flashed with greed and he nudged the Old Man "How about you give this to me as a greeting gift? Shouldn't you be doing that already?"

The Old Man rolled his eyes " This is my darling 'Sky Piercer'. I was planning to gift it to my disciple. But a certain someone is not so interested."

Sheng Tian chuckled and instantly changed the topic.

They both mounted the boat. He said "To the Mystic Ice" The vessel shot at super high speeds to the south.

Flying was forbidden in the Qin Capital. But for the ones with power, it is not a restriction but a privilege only they can have.

Sheng Tian watched incredulously as the Old Man didn't even ask his consent in travel.

F*ck your manners! But thinking back to everything that transpired, a vague smile formed on his face.

Everything was planned down to the last part.

First-He asked Xiao Lian to use Semi-Divine Sense to find out any Mystic Ice Sect experts who live in disguise. The reason was simple, Qin Capital was the first and best option for the experts of the Sect. Hence, there is a high chance of finding them in this city than any other.

Checking the cultivation of a covered Mortal Cultivator, for Xiao Lian who has deep cultivation knowledge isn't a challenging task at all. However, the capital city of Qin is very large, to the point that it is almost comparable to the largest capitals on Earth.

So, searching for an expert in this gigantic city would be akin to fishing a needle in the ocean. Then his intellect came to play giving him a way out- Elimination.

The real experts who disguise themselves live only in areas which are normal. They neither want money nor assets. They simply live the way they do for their own satisfaction.

Coming to this conclusion, the places he has to check were narrowed to normal places rather than the rich ones. And this eliminated the district of rich and the famous business shops.

Probably by sheer luck, he found this Old Man on the very first day.

Since he is now living in seclusion as a mortal, the Old Man didn't think much when he was in the range of Sheng Tian's Semi-divine sense. Unknown to the Old Man, Xiao Lian saw through his cultivation base and the nature of his profound energy.

OverLord Realm, 5th level—cultivating Ice Profound Energy; hidden injuries with less than 10 years to live was her report.

With the Old Man, the plan has begun.

He started eating at the Old Man's restaurant from that day on. The Old Man got a little suspicious and asked the same. "This shabby restaurant reminds me of the one I loved in my hometown." was his reply.

Second Step—Setting up a conflict to show off his talent before the Old Man.

This was even more simple.

As he started going to the restaurant daily, many ladies started visiting the restaurant to see him. He investigated the 1st-grade families around. Finally, he found a suitable target-Ling family. The Young master of the Ling family was very lustful, stupid, proud and full of arrogance.

The day before, Sheng Tian used another disguise and beat up the lackeys of the Young Master.

He also called the Young Master a eunuch, retard and several vulgar names.

With a disdainful expression, he laughed as he spoke "If that trash thinks he is not trash, ask him to come near the Old Restaurant on the Vindy street, I will make him call me granddaddy. hahaha."

Thus, the villain was set. Next came the victim.

Sheng Tian wasn't particularly sure about it, but he spotted some beautiful women with backgrounds inferior to a grade one family. He smiled at them slightly and went to the restaurant the same day. They followed him back. He was betting that some of them would come here the next day to see him.

Hence, came the victim.

Everything else followed. The lustful young master who came to the street didn't see his target and headed to the restaurant. Upon seeing the beautiful woman, he was taken over by his desires and wanted her. He asked her out repeatedly and disgusted her.

Normally, the crowd would have ignored this matter. But now that Sheng Tian was there, the women felt a bit responsible and wanted to show their good sides to him. Who knows? Maybe he will be impressed by us and talk to us! That was their thought process when they yelled at the young master.

This increased the rage of the Young Master.

The rest followed-the young master forcing the woman, Sheng Tian smashing them up. Then beat up the men at the peak of Earth Realm.

When Sheng Tian investigated the Young Master, he also got to know the protectors available to him. And from the past experiences he learned about the Young Master, he knew that one his protectors at the peak of Earth realm are beaten, the next person he would call should definitely be his father-an Emperor level expert!

And this is where the Old Man steps in to save Sheng Tian. This was what he calculated. And looking at the temperament of the Old Man along with the information he read about the secret experts in the novels, he was 90% sure that this would work.

However, he didn't want to put his life in someone else's hands. He was ready to use the talismans he got from the Alluring snake devil or even the teleportation token from the Ancestral Tombs. As the last resort, even Xiao Lian unlocked her seal.

This was all but a scheme with precise calculation taking advantage of the minds of the villain, victim and the expert.

As these thoughts ran in his head, Sheng Tian's lips slightly curved up. It was a proud smile.
