Chapter 92: Harmonious Divine Firmament Family
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Thinking till here, the old Taoist priest felt that he could not be rash. Taking a disciple was not something small, not to mention that the said disciple was cultivating the Tinder Sutra.
The old Taoist priest was already leading a poor cultivation life, so the pressure of having another mouth to feed was immense.
Yeap, let’s observe for the time being. Let’s see if this kid is really blessed by providence.
If it’s true, I’ll take him as my disciple and help him cultivate another art.
If it’s fake, then I’ll let him be Junior Brother’s disciple.
Just nice, Junior Brother’s Heavenly Dao Sutra seems to be getting weirder and weirder. I feel that no matter how I wreck my brain, I won’t be able to make Junior Brother’s emotions fluctuate anymore.
‘If he has an unlucky disciple that cultivates the Tinder Body-Tempering Art and causes trouble for him every day, then I bet his life from then onwards won’t be that simple and boring!
The old Taoist priest smiled and said, “So, you must be Shen Tian!”
Shen Tian felt uncomfortable being stared at by the old Taoist priest.
Truthfully speaking, he was afraid that the old thing would eat him whole. In addition, when the old Taoist priest had turned into azure green flames, Shen Tian could feel the abnormal movement of the Tinder Sutra within him.
That sense of desire was identical to when Shen Tian had encountered the First Essence Heavy Water.
Shen Tian did not know if the old Taoist priest had the same feeling.
When the old Taoist priest made a move previously, he shouted, “Mighty Tinder”. I believe that, most likely, he also cultivates the Tinder Body-Tempering Art.
Seeing how shameless the old Taoist priest is, he can definitely bully the weak.
Shen Tian secretly moved next to Zhang Yunxi upon thinking that. It was safer there.
“Yes, I am Shen Tian. May I know if the esteemed senior has anything to say to me?”
Everything might go wrong, but flattery would not.
“Haha, Shen Tian, you’re really good with your words. I’ve already heard from Little Xiao’er about you and her.
“You helped our sect to find Divine Firmament’s forbidden supreme Imperial Sutra. Thus, according to the rules set by our ancestors, you will indeed become our Saint. As for whether being the Saint and marrying the Saintess might cause some discontent from certain people, you don’t need to worry at all.
“Our Divine Firmament Sacred Ground is different from Grand White Grotto-Heaven. We’re not like that crazy bast*rd who hits his son-in-law. Our sect members are respectful to each other. It’s a completely big, harmonious family. As long as you join us, you will definitely not be disappointed.”
Shen Tian still felt that the old Taoist priest was quite unreliable. He had been crazily chasing after Supremacy Zi Yang and plundering him, yet had adopted a gentle demeanor now, helping advertise the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground.
It felt as if he had encountered a multi-level marketing organization trying to recruit “downlines”.
Shen Tian gulped down his saliva. “Esteemed senior, did you mention that I am your disciple just now?”
The old Taoist priest was shocked and coughed dryly. “Cough, cough. It’s just something I randomly said. If I say that you are my disciple, it’s easier for me to help you to extort— Cough, cough. You don’t need to take it to heart.
“If you’re willing to join our sacred ground, become the Saint, and marry the Saintess, then you can choose any Elder to be your master. Even if you wish for the Sacred Leader to be your master, it is completely possible.”
Pick whoever I want as a master? Such a good treatment?
Shen Tian looked at the old Taoist priest, doubtfully. Countless scams in his previous life had taught him that there was nothing like a free lunch.
The Divine Firmament Sacred Ground is a big harmonious family, and its members are respectful to each other?
Haha, a certain large crosstalk troupe1 had also advertised in this way.
In the end, just when vying for who was the best, they would even fight on stage.
Sigh, let’s just stay low and safely grow stronger in the Country of Fire. Even a heavy pig can fly if it stands at a particularly windy spot1. When the wind stops, all the flying pigs would fall and become pork flatbread.
Shen Tian was not willing to die after becoming the Saint due to others’ machinations.
Shen Tian smiled and said, “Esteemed senior, you really do not need to make me the Saint. I have mentioned before that for fated people, I won’t take a single cent.
“Therefore, I helping Fairy Yunxi to find and assess the ore is free. Divine Firmament does not need to take it to heart and repay me.
“In addition, Fairy Yunxi has also said that she does not have any feelings for me. Such a relationship without feelings will not result in a happy ending. From my point of view, it’s better to forget me becoming the Saint and marrying the Saintess.”
The old Taoist priest kept silent for a while before saying, “But it goes against the rules set by our ancestors.
“According to our sect’s rules, the fated person who finds Decalamity can choose not to marry the Saintess. However, you must become the Saint, or else we can only retrieve the heritage you have since that is a secret art of our sect.”
Zhang Yunxi was rendered speechless.
So, just what is this unreliable Martial Uncle Azure Lotus talking about with Mr. Shen! What do you mean ‘according to our sect’s rules... you can choose not to marry the Saintess... but you must become the saint?’
Do you think of this like grocery shopping in the market of the mortal world?
Are you serious? Do you think that I, the Saintess, am just some cheap thing that could be gifted? Two onions are given for free for buying 500 grams of pork meat?
Although I indeed do not like such arranged marriage, this is related to the dignity of our Divine Firmament Sacred Ground and my reputation! Could you be more serious?
At that thought, golden and silver lightning formed around Zhang Yunxi.
On the other hand, Li Lian’er, who was originally hiding behind Zhang Yunxi, seemed to be ecstatic now.
(*^▽^*)
“Brother Shen, just agree to become the Saint! Once you become the Saint, then no one will dare to bully you anymore.
“As for Sister Xiao, you don’t need to marry her! Don’t forget, she has said that she’s unwilling too.”
Zhang Yunxi’s mouth twitched.
After hearing Li Lian’er’s piece, as if he had thought of something, the old Taoist priest tried to persuade him further. “Shen Tian, you’ve seen how powerful Li Canglan is. That fella is famous for doting on his daughter in the whole of Eastern Wilderness. Now that Lian’er is sticking to you every day if you don’t become our Divine Firmament Sacred Ground’s Saint, do you think any other sect will be able to protect you from him?”
The old Taoist priest’s words shocked Shen Tian, and realization dawned upon him!
That is very true! Lian’er’s father is really outrageously strong. He is also able to sense the position of the Sword Master Token to locate where I am.
He suffered a great loss due to the old Taoist priest this time, but he might fly into a rage from the shame and hold a grudge against me too.
According to the scope of the area under Grand White Grotto-Heaven, if Li Canglan becomes serious, it is really simple to capture me. Under these circumstances, lying low and finding a powerful sacred ground to provide cover might be a good choice.
Shen Tian asked reluctantly, “Is there any possibility that I don’t need to be the Saint?”
The old Taoist priest sighed. “I really cannot agree to that condition.”
Shen Tian resigned himself to his fate. “Then, we have a deal. I’ll only be the Saint!”
The old Taoist priest nodded. “Don’t worry. You don’t need to marry the Saintess.”
Zhang Yunxi was on the brink of tears...
