Chapter 568 - Li Jian

Arriving at the medic bay, he set her down on one of the beds before having the healers do a check up on her.

Seeing her damage status, the healers couldn't help but widen their eyes at the ridiculous fact that she was still alive.

However, since she was alive, they were obligated to save her.

As the tier 5 healing spells surrounded her, Shiro couldn't help but glance out the window.

Right now, they were in the middle of a mountain range where there were large buildings built into the mountain itself.

Much like the shaolin temple, there were large training grounds where Shiro could see members of the sect being trained by masters of martial arts.

Just as she was about to keep on viewing the scenery, she watched as a head popped up from the bottom of the window.

Making eye contact, the two of them stared at each other as Shiro had a neutral expression since she didn't know how she should react.

". . ."

The head belonged to a man that looked to be in his late 30's. His hair was short and was coloured black while his eyes were filled with amus.e.m.e.nt.

The other's in the room seemed to not recognise his presence as they continued to heal her.

Taking a moment to organise her thoughts, she turned to Nan Tian who was besides her.

"Lil' Tian."

"Mn? What is it?"

"Look at the window and tell me what you see." Shiro said while turning back to the man.

"I ju- ! When did you get here sect leader?" Nan Tian widened his eyes as he didn't sense him at all.

Quickly walking over to the window, he opened it and let him in.

"Well when I heard that my boy has brought back a girl, I had to come look with my eyes. So care to introduce me? Also, stop being so formal already." The sect leader grinned while patting Nan Tian on the shoulder.

Sighing softly, Nan Tian turned to Shiro.

"He is the one who saved me from Black Monarchy and is the leader of this sect."

"Tch, what kind of half-assed introduction is that?" The sect leader clicked his tongue before looking at Shiro.

"My name's Li Jian, I'm basically this brat's step father since I raised him from young. I hope he hasn't said anything bad about me." Li Jian laughed as Nan Tian sighed.

"So this is the reserved sect master huh? One that would spend most of his time checking on how you lot were doing in your training along with giving you some tips huh? Where he would normally just sit by and drink some tea while watching you train and his hobby is watching you lot cultivate your strength?" Shiro raised her eyebrow at Nan Tian before looking back at Li Jian Guo.

Just looking at his aura, she could tell that he was not reserved in the slightest.

"Is that how the brat described me? Haha! Well he ain't exactly wrong. I'm just curious about the girl that he had brought back home after so long. So what's your name?" Li Jian asked with a chuckle.

"Shiro."

"Rather simple name. Any surname?" Li Jian asked curiously.

"Mn, Asakura." Shiro replied with a smile.

"Shiro Asakura huh? Hm… doesn't ring any bells. Are you part of their lesser known branch?" Li Jian tilted his head since he kept tabs on most of the powerful families in the world and there wasn't any Shiro Asakura in their family list.

"Well my name was changed but I was known by Kuromi before." Just as Shiro said this, Li Jian's smile faded as he grabbed Nan Tian.

"Your tastes are pretty f*cking strong boy. Do you not want descendants??? Because even if you don't, I want to see a grandkid ok?" Li Jian asked seriously while looking at Nan Tian like he was crazy.

Seeing the sect master's seriousness, Nan Tian's smile twitched.

"Why is it that you become like this the moment I bring Shiro here? Go drink your tea or something old man. Weren't there a few new trainees that you got your eye on?" Nan Tian urged as Li Jian was embarrassing him. There were still healers in the room and the female ones were blushing from the conversation.

"Pft, what's a cup of tea and some trainees compared to my boy's future. Listen here, I don't mind who you bring back as long as it ain't one that would bust your baby maker open like a f*cking soft drink."

*PFT!

Suppressing a laugh, the healer's tried their best to concentrate while the males gave Nan Tian their condolences. After all, from what they know, Shiro was akin to a venus fly trap. Alluring but fatal.

"I'm still here you know?" Shiro said as she rolled her eyes.

"Right. So I can give you anything you want as long as you don't bust him open like a popcorn ok?" Li Jian persuaded.

"Urg don't worry about it. It's not like I'm going to break his balls or bust his ass anytime soon unless he pisses me off." Shiro sighed.

"Or ass?" Li Jian furrowed his brows.

Grabbing his phone, Nan Tian brought up the record of Shiro in New York and passed it to Li Jian.

"Mn? What is it?"

Looking at the webpage, Li Jian's expression froze up in shock.

". . . Where did I go wrong? How did you end up like this?" Li Jian sighed as he looked at Nan Tian with pity.

"Oi, my mind's perfectly sane ok?" Nan Tian said while taking back his phone.

"Hell f*cking no it is not. No offence young lady." Li Jian turned to Shiro.

"None taken." Shiro laughed since he wasn't wrong. Nan Tian's tastes were indeed quite strong for him to fall in love with her.

"Anyways, who are the other's then?" Li Jian asked as he glanced at the rest of the party. Namely, Yin, Attie, Estrella and Iziuel.

"This one is Iziuel, she's Shiro's friend, this one is Estrella, Shiro's guard and these two are her children." Nan Tian introduced while sitting down on a chair.

"Wait she's already got children?"

"One is a phoenix the other is a spirit. Yin, the girl on the left, was hatched from an egg with Shiro's blood while Atesh, or rather, Attie, is a fusion fire elements that she had obtained. He was born thanks to her skillset I suppose." Nan Tian explained.

"Is that so? Well that's fine too. Anyways, I shouldn't disturb you any longer. We'll have a proper chat when you've recovered." Li Jian smiled before walking to the window once more.

Jumping out, his figure disappeared as silence filled the room.

"Well that was a rather interesting first meeting no?" Shiro chuckled.

"No word of this outside, ok?" Nan Tian 'smiled' as he looked at the healers.

"Of course branch master." They nodded.

'A man's gotta keep his dignity after all.' They thought with an understanding smile.

Seeing this, Nan Tian didn't know why but he felt more annoyed.

Sighing softly, he looked towards the rest of the party.

"I'll go get a few rooms for you lot so that you can rest in the time that Shiro takes to heal." Nan Tian said before turning back to Shiro.

"Is there anything you want me to do while you recover?" He asked.

"Hmm… not much to be honest. Just take this time to get used to your new found power." Shiro smiled as Nan Tian nodded his head.

After all, he was just scratching the surface of tier 6 and he needed more time. Plus, he also needed to level up again so that he could attempt to reach tier 6 legend like what Shiro had achieved in her previous lifetime.

###

Spending a week in the headquarters to heal herself, Shiro recovered enough to actually walk around but her body was still weak. If she had to describe her current power, it would be equal to the average power demonstrated by level 100's which is a far cry from her current peek.

During this time, the sect master offered to help Yin grow stronger since they were going to be here for a while. Naturally, Shiro's didn't reject the offer since strength was their priority right now.

Attie had spent this week keeping Shiro company while Nimue was still recovering in the mana realm.

Shiro guessed that it may take a while for Nimue to regain consciousness since the damage they took during the last fight was quite high. As for Iziuel, she just spent the time exploring around the sect for her own amus.e.m.e.nt.

Stretching her body, Shiro did a self scan to see if there were still any hidden injuries but most of them needed time to recover due to the nature of the backlashes that she had stacked onto her body.

"I think I'll stay here for a little longer. Who knows, I might find something useful.' Shiro thought with a smile before picking Attie up. Her first destination in the sect was probably the library so that she could get some information on class ups.
