"I have heard it from a senior of mine but who are you? Why are you listening to talk of us sisters?", the chubby girl immediately went into a defensive mode after seeing the tall handsome young man.
"Junior brother, you have such a good look. I wonder whether you are an outer court disciple or inner court disciple?", a companion of the chubby girl asked asked ignoring the defensive look on her chubby companion.
"I am neither an inner court disciple nor an outer court disciple. I am a core disciple about whom you are talking about earlier", Zhan Chen spoke.
"What? you are that core disciple everyone was talking about?", the girls in the group looked at Zhan Chen with surprised expression on their faces. They couldn't beleive that such a dashing young man was also a core disciple of their Xuantian sect.
"Of course, I am. There is no point in hiding something which is already known to everyone in this sect", Zhan Chen spoke.
"Now, senior sister. If you don't mind can you share the rumour you have heard about me in details", Zhan Chen looked towards the chubby looking girl.
"What? Senior sister?, the chubby looking girl looked towards Zhan Chen with a surprised expression on her face. Contrary to her expectation, Zhan Chen neither seem haughty nor a lecherous young man.
She immediately apologized infront of Zhan Chen and shared the details. Zhan Chen spoke few words with the group of girls before bading them farewell.
"It is not like he has kidnapped a woman. With his charm, I am sure that the woman from the Serpent moon sect had left on her own to pursue him. Lucky her, I wish I could be that woman", a girl muttered while looking at the leaving figure of Zhan Chen. There was a dreamy look on her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen.
"Girls, what should I do? I want to talk with him more. So that, I can aplogize again for our earlier conversation", the chubby looking girl spoke.
"Sister Yi Ran, I have a proposal. If you agree to it, then we can talk with him again", another companion of the chubby girl spoke. There was a crafty look on her face as she looked towards her companions.
Zhan Chen didn't know what the group of the girl was plotting. He thought about the information he had received while walking towards the three storied building ahead of him.
"People will always say whatever they want. But infamy or bad reputation is nothing if they got supplemented by strength. Those who are pointing fingers will wag their tails if they are presented with absolute strength", Zhan Chen thought to himself.
He walked leisurely and stopped after reaching infront of the three storied building which was located at the middle of the Central valley.
There was only two simple words 'treasure hall' carved on the three storied building. Zhan Chen took a look at the surrounding before stepping inside the building.
"Junior brother, what do you need?", a sweet voice came from a distance after Zhan Chen stepped into the treasure hall of the Xuantian sect.
Zhan Chen turned his head and saw a mature beauty smiling towards him. He bowed towards the beauty and asked her about his token.
"Senior sister, I am Zhan Chen. I have been told that I have to collect my token from the treasure hall of the sect", Zhan Chen spoke after bowing towards the beauty.
"You have such a glint tongue. No junior ever call me senior sister since I am in charge of the treasure hall", the beauty spoke with a beautiful smile on her face.
"Fool, she is elder Hua. No one dare offend her unless you don't want to enter the treasury in your life time", a cultivator spoke from the side. The mature beauty threw a look at him and the cultovator immediately shut his mouth.
"Junior brother, can you call me senior sister from now on. It sounds so pleasant to my ears that I want to hear it again", the beauty spoke.
If it was any other cultivator, he would have a blank look on his face at this moment but Zhan Chen was indifferent. A smirk appeared on his face as he looked towards the mature beauty infront of them. "Senior sister, your charm is undeniable but you need to do some more efforts to have the intended effect. Now, if you don't want to keep me standing then can you please hand me over my token", Zhan Chen looked towards the mature beauty.
"Junior brother, please don't take offence. I am merely curious about you after hearing your acheivements from others. Now, can you please follow me to the first floor. Your token is there and few other valuables are also there which you need to select from the treasury", the mature beauty spoke.
Zhan Chen looked at the beauty while following her through the steps. An evil fire went through his body as he looked at her charming demeanor. "Her cultivation is at the fourth stage of Tribulation realm. Which is not bad at all. Since, she tried to use charm technique on me first, there is no harm if I try the same method on her", Zhan Chen thought to himself.
There was a barrier separating the ground floor from the first floor. The mature beauty took out a token and a gap appeared in the barrier. She asked Zhan Chen to follow her and stepped inside the barrier.
Zhan Chen's eyes glowed after he entered through the barrier. The first floor was completely different when compared to the ordinary looking ground floor. There were countless valuable stored in wooden shelves. There was also a label on them which showed how organized and flourished, the Xuantian sect was.
"Senior sister, if you don't mind, can I ask you a question?", Zhan Chen looked towards the mature beauty.
"Sure, you can ask whatever you want", the mature beauty nodded her head.
"Senior sister, do you have a confidant?", Zhan Chen looked towards the mature beauty.
"My confidant! But why are are asking?", the beauty felt puzzled. She looked at Zhan Chen's expression and a realisation dawned upon her.
"It can't be that you want to take me as your woman", the beauty teased with a small smile on her face. According to her, it was a normal reaction of a junior after coming across her beauty and charm.
"It is indeed about taking you as my woman and I am not joking", Zhan Chen spoke with a calm look on his face. The mature beauty finally felt some awkwardness after seeing the calm expression on Zhan Chen's face.
"You can't be serious!", she muttered while looking towards Zhan Chen. There was a strange attraction coming from Zhan Chen's persona which made her look more deeply into Zhan Chen's eyes.
"Are you really?", she asked with a confused voice. "What do you think?", Zhan Chen asked her with a smile on his face.
Finally a shed of red appeared on the cheeks of the mature beauty as she blushed. Zhan Chen smiled because she couldn't look at him anymore and lowered her head to save herself from the embarassment.
"Beauty, so, what do you say? Are you willing to be my woman?", Zhan Chen asked.
"Let me think about it", the beauty gave a vague reply. The confident self of hers was gone as she acted like a shy girl infront of Zhan Chen.
