"With such a treasure, how could I worry about not passing the True Disciple assessment?"
"The peer geniuses in the Taichu World wouldn't be enough for me to slay."
As he thought of this, Yang Ji couldn't help but feel extremely excited. Experience the adventure on m|vl_em|p_yr
However, at the current stage, it was just wishful thinking. To forge the Wings of Time-Space, he still needed to find another Time Stone.
Otherwise, with just a Space Stone, he couldn't create the Wings of Time-Space.
Time Stones were top-tier materials; obtaining one required immense luck.
For now, he could only put it aside.
Just as he put away the Space Stone, a familiar voice came from outside the hall.
"Yang Ji, you actually refused the invitation of the True Disciple Liu Xiaosheng. That's troublesome," said the valiant and spirited Yan Zhan, frowning as she walked in. S~eaʀᴄh the NôvelFire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
"Oh, Yan Zhan's here, please have a seat," Yang Ji said with some surprise, gesturing with his hand. Hearing her words, he then asked, "What kind of trouble?"
Yan Zhan sat down, poured herself a cup of tea, and said, "My sister told me that Liu Xiaosheng is very petty. Disciples who have refused his invitation in the past, if they have no support, often mysteriously die while on missions."
"You actually refused him, so it's troublesome. However, if you didn't refuse, you would have had to serve him as your master, which is also troublesome."
"You have extraordinary potential and a chance to become a True Disciple. If you serve him as your master, it would as if you've been cut down in fate, forever suppressed by him, always a notch below. I too would have refused."
"Among the million disciples of the Sect, Liu Xiaosheng actually took notice of you, perhaps because of the commotion you caused last time in the Hell Arena. You've gained fame from that."
"Anyway, being targeted by him is troublesome," Yan Zhan said, her beautiful brows slightly furrowed.
"Is this guy that malicious? Sabotaging from the shadows just for refusing him?" Yang Ji's forehead creased.
"That's for those without a support who are also talented," said Yan Zhan.
"The Sect doesn't care?" asked Yang Ji, frowning.
"It's quite normal for Sect disciples to die on missions, and without any evidence, how can the Sect intervene? Make random accusations? The other party is also an esteemed True Disciple and, moreover, my sister discovered this incident inadvertently. It's based on her intuition; there's simply no evidence."
"Is this guy that insidious?" Yang Ji couldn't help but frown.
At that moment, Yan Zhan suddenly smiled and said, "However, you don't need to worry. If a disciple has a strong backing, he usually won't make a move."
"Oh? Could it be that this devil fears being investigated and thereby revealing his identity? So he doesn't dare to act too rashly?" Buddha Child said as such in the Mount Sea World.
"That seems likely!" Yang Ji agreed with the transmitted message. "This devil must be an undercover agent; he probably dares not be too ostentatious and only bullies disciples without any background. If a disciple with background and status were to die, the Sect would surely investigate the cause, and he must fear revealing his tracks."
"However, am I not exactly the disciple without background or status?" A trace of wryness appeared on Yang Ji's forehead.
Then Yan Zhan laughed again, "Don't worry, my sister personally intervened on your behalf and went to the Heavenly Domain to negotiate with Liu Xiaosheng. This is like giving him a way out."
"In the future, just pretend to join my sister's Heavenly Domain. We both come from the Endless Sea, we're like fellow townsmen. Once Liu Xiaosheng learns that you've joined my sister's domain, he won't have much to say."
"Your sister personally intervened on my behalf and went to the Heavenly Domain to negotiate with Liu Xiaosheng?" Yang Ji asked, stunned.
"Yes, we are fellow townsmen and friends. We naturally should help each other," Yan Zhan said with a smile.
"In that case, I really appreciate it," Yang Ji expressed his gratitude with a cupped-fist salute.
"You don't need to thank me. Later on, I'll introduce you to my sister and some True Disciple friends to expand your circle. That way, no one will dare to mess with you in the future," Yan Zhan said.
Meanwhile, at Wuji Pavilion, in the Ninth Heavens, five prestigious figures were seated in meditation above the clouds.
"Are you saying that the Luo He kid went to negotiate with Liu Xiaosheng for his sake?" Wuji Zi mused, looking at one of them.
"Yes, Sect Master," a Mahayana nodded.
"So, he has resolved this crisis of fate?" another Mahayana inquired.
"This youngster indeed has tremendous luck. Encountering Liu Xiaosheng and resolving the crisis of fate invisibly, it seems his fortune truly counters that of Liu Xiaosheng." At that moment, Wuji Zi unusually broke into a smile.
