My mind went blank. Becoming a disciple of an elder was already a great feat, and was one of the best things that could happen to a new disciple. But becoming the disciple of a sect leader? That was new. I did not even expect that this opportunity would present itself in front of me, so I was obviously not ready with the answer.
"I understand. You are hesitating. But I am not going to sell myself. If you want to become my disciple, then you can become my disciple. I always wanted to mold a young one, but I never found a blank canvas like you. I really want to do this, but of course, it will only be under one condition." Li Tian said.
"What is that condition?" I asked.
"No one can know that you are my disciple!" He said.
I paused. This was a very big condition. I would be getting a lot of benefits, but I would not be able to tell anyone that I was his disciple. On the other side though, I would not be held back by the sect because no one would know that I was his disciple. I needed to grow stronger. My father said that I had to get to the Xiantian Realm to have a chance to survive. That means that I will face strong opponents.
"I know that my life is in danger because of my real parents. Will you-"
"Your father was a friend. I will protect you regardless of whether you want to become my disciple or not. Forget that. As long as you are a disciple of the Sky Heaven's sect, if you didn't do anything wrong, the sect will stand beside you!" Li Tian said earnestly.
I raised my eyebrow. This was a righteous statement, but could I actually believe in him to hold onto it? The world was a cruel one, especially where killing was allowed and very common.
I thought about it. I needed to think for myself, and this was an opportunity that I probably would never get. And the deadline that my father gave loomed over me. This was the best chance that I could actually get.
I bent down on the ground.
"Liu Feng greets his master," I said.
"Don't give me all this crap. You could have just said that you were going to become my disciple. What is with you and all these traditions? Well then, just get up, and you can come with me." Li Tian said.
I was a little surprised, but I got up and glanced at Li Huan. She looked at me with disgust, as if I was doing something bad. But I probably understood her feeling. Having a father that powerful, she wouldn't understand my need for power. I wanted to survive, and every time someone reminded me that I had a big background that gets me in trouble, I got more and more tense.
"What are you going? Huan'er. Go to the Outer Sect. You know what to do. Just make sure that no one knows about this. And, I want to make sure that you have that clear. If anyone finds out that he is my disciple, I will make sure that you will not get any allowance. I will also tell the first elder specifically that you should not be allowed to ride on Bai Yi anymore." Li Tian said.
"What is wrong with you? I won't tell anyone, okay? Don't be so harsh about it. I don't care about you or him enough to tell anyone." Li Huan stuck her tongue out.
"What will you tell them then?" Li Tian looked at her meaningfully.
"I don't know. You tell me." She shrugged.
"So then why were you so confident that you were going to be able to hide this fact?" Li Tian countered.
"You..."
The bickering went on for longer, and I could not take it. It felt so childish, like they were making up for all the time that Li Tian probably did not spend with her. I just shut myself out of this conversation.
"Okay then. It is settled. You will tell everyone that his father has given me a gift, and for this reason, he will be allowed to enter the Thunder Valley for nine days." Li Tian nodded.
"Thunder Valley?" I asked.
"You will understand what that is later. But first, I have something that I want to do with you. I need to cleanse you of all the thunder Qi that you have within your body. It is making your Qi too rampant, and it will stop you from learning other attribute arts easily. Like that wind attributed art that you are trying to learn." Li Tian said.
"Wait, that is the reason that I was not able to have any progress with the Kun Peng Myriad Transformations?" I was shocked. I thought that it was because I did not have the right training apparatus, but it turned out that it was because of this attribute problem.
"Having an attribute is only helpful in the future, once you are in the Nascent Soul Stage, But in the foundation establishment stage, it will only hamper your progress. Just follow me, and I will just get you in the best state possible for you to grow faster. I am sure that you know that you have to get to the Xiantian Realm in three years, right?" Li Tian said.
"Three years. Why three years? What is going to happen then?" I asked.
"What? Did your father not tell you?" Li Tian looked shocked.
"He didn't. But that isn't the reason why you should make this a secret. Please tell me what is going to happen three years from now." I asked.
"The royal family shall gather to select the new king. Everyone knows this. Not a secret. Looks like that Liu Qian has some explaining to do." Li Tian chuckled.
