The next day, Tian Fen came to Tian Tian's room by himself to pay his respects.

"Good morning, grandfather."

"Lil 'Fen, why don't you sleep for a while? You must be tired from your journey these past few days."

"Hehe, Grandpa, I'm not tired."

"Speak, is there something you need of me? I don't believe that our Fen'er's personality would change after not seeing her for only half a year." He only saw Tian Fen's innocent and lively side, but he understood that once this granddaughter of his returned home, she would only get up after three days of sleep. After all, the sword faction's cultivation was extremely tough, especially the Profound Nun Institute that she was in; the competition was too fierce.

"Grandfather, you're too smart. I can't hide anything from you. Actually, I wanted to ask you if you could take us to see that plum tree. Senior Brother Li Xun is very interested. "

"I think you want to see it." The Plum Tree of the Tian Family had a special meaning to the Tian Family. Apart from him, the Tian Family's Patriarch, no one else was allowed to see it, not even his own son and daughter.

"Grandfather, is this good?" Tian Fen began to pant coquettishly.

"Alright, alright. You're almost seventeen this year, and it's time to tell you some of the clan's secrets. Outsiders know that our family has a thousand-year-old peach tree, but only a few know that it is the foundation of our family. One hundred and fifteen years ago, our family encountered an unprecedented crisis. Because the last warrior of the twelfth step passed away from our family, you should know what this means to our Tian Family. We've been keeping this a secret for a long time, but a year later, some of our enemies found out. When they came to make trouble, our family welcomed a mysterious expert. With a raise of her hand, she beat up three experts of the twelfth step until they vomited blood. My great-grandfather tried to befriend him at that time, but he didn't expect that the expert would straightforwardly agree to protect our Tian Clan. However, the condition is to give the thousand-year-old peach tree to her. However, in the past three hundred years, the talented members of our clan have all been weakened by that fruit. At that time, Great Grandfather and that senior had talked about giving some fruits to the younger generation of the Tian Clan that she had taken a liking to, and he asked her to give them to them to teach them in their stead. In the past hundred years, under the guidance of senior, our Tian Clan had increased by seven experts of the eleventh step and three of the twelfth step. "Originally, grandpa wanted to wait until you are twenty and become stronger before you can bring me to see senior. However, I did not expect that you had improved so much in just half a year. So, grandpa wants to bring you to meet the guardian god of our Tian Clan."

When Tian Fen heard this, she realized that there was actually such a thing happening in the family. Furthermore, there was a peerless expert in the family. She could not help but be curious about that guardian deity.

"Grandfather, then my senior brothers and sisters …" After all, this concerned the life and death of the clan. If she forcefully brought an outsider to disturb that expert, it would bring about a great deal of trouble. However, today, she had praised him in front of Li Xun and the others.

"Fen'er, Li Xun, and Qin Qing are both talents that appear once in a hundred years. The other three are also top talents. You can tell the truth about this matter. "

Tian Fen went back to tell the truth to Li Xun and the others. They didn't expect the matter to be so troublesome. However, they were extremely grateful for the honesty and trust Tian had placed in them.

Lil 'Fen, don't make things difficult for me. It's not like I won't be able to see the plum tree, but after what you said, I'm more interested in that expert. Li Xun consoled.

After lunch, Li Xun and the others were led to the front of a courtyard by Tian Chanzi.

"You guys just wait here for a moment, I'll bring Little Fen in first, I'm really sorry."

"Lordmaster, you're too polite. We're all juniors, you're taking our lives for granted." In the past two days, Li Xun had felt the enthusiasm of Tian Chanzi and even felt that it was better to not follow him.

When Tian Fen followed the old man into the courtyard, she saw a fiery red peach tree. Nearly a hundred small green fruits hung from the tree; it was obvious that they were not ripe yet. Under the tree, there was a young woman meditating. The woman was extremely beautiful, even Tian Fen, who had always been confident in himself, felt inferior to her. A black panther with a green glint was lying beside the woman. The black panther seemed to be sleeping.

Tian Chanzi brought Tian Fen to the girl and bowed respectfully.

The woman did not open her eyes as she said, "Tian Zhen, your Tian Clan has finally produced a talent."

Tian Fen was definitely the first to receive such praise from the protector of the Tian family. In other words, in time, Tian Fen would have a high chance of becoming a powerhouse above the twelfth step.

Tian Zhen bowed again and said, "Senior, thanks for protecting our Tian Clan for a hundred years, the Tian Clan is truly unable to repay this favor. Little Fen is indeed talented. I hope Senior can give me some pointers."

Tian Fen knelt down and kowtowed three times.

"Get up. When you're twenty, bring her here to cultivate with me. Tian Zhen, go to the same place and get forty Peach Pills. Let her consume one every month."

One per month. In the past hundred years, those of his clan who received a Spirit Peach Pill every year would be so happy that they wouldn't even be able to sleep for a few days.

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Tian Zhen said, "Thank you, senior." Senior, there is one more thing. " Tian Zhen stopped and looked at the girl's expression. Seeing that she did not stop him, he continued, "There are still a few juniors outside the door. They are Little Fen's senior brothers and sisters. Their talents are not inferior to Little Fen's.

"Let them in."

When Li Xun and the others saw this young and outrageous expert, their mouths gaped wide open. Li Xun couldn't help but think in his heart, could this be the legendary old demoness? However, the black panther from before was nowhere to be seen.

After Li Xun and the others bowed, the woman actually opened her eyes. They were a pair of extremely beautiful eyes, but Li Xun felt that there was a trace of sadness in them.

"You are all very good. It seems that the little fellow Ouyang Qingfeng is becoming more and more promising."

When Li Xun and the others heard this woman address the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect as "Little Rascal", they all looked at each other in dismay. However, thinking back to one hundred and fifteen years ago, the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect was already an extreme expert.

"I wasn't taught by that cunning old man." Li Xun muttered.

"Tian Zhen, bring them and wait outside. You stay." The young girl pointed at Li Xun.

This sudden turn of events caught everyone off guard. Tian Zhen naturally did not dare to disobey the woman's orders and immediately left with the others.

"Is your master well?" The woman's voice suddenly became soft.

Li Xun noticed that the young woman's face was slightly flushed. Although it was only for a short moment, he was still able to see it. He thought to himself: This woman couldn't be this old man's lover, right? It seems this old man also called Ouyang Qingfeng a little boy, it couldn't be such a coincidence.

"Master is very good, but I don't know why senior would ask, but I have never met him before."

"The storage ring on your hand is a gift from him right?" As she spoke, the woman extended her left hand. On the middle finger of her left hand, there was actually a ring with exactly the same color pattern.

"My interspatial ring was indeed gifted to me by my master. I wonder what kind of relationship does senior have with my master?" Right now, Li Xun was becoming more and more curious about this woman. His tone of voice also became more respectful.

Suddenly, a purple-red light flashed from within. Li Xun was extremely angry. At the critical moment in his words, little Purple Star Fire Fox actually ran out. Ever since the little fellow entered the spatial ring, it had been sleeping soundly. Li Xun had tried to wake it up a few times, but the little fellow had no reaction at all.

"Hey, Purple Spirit Fire Fox." The woman looked at the little fox thoughtfully.

As soon as the little fire fox came out, it began to circle around the peach tree. From the direction of its intelligent big eyes, one could see how much it desired the fruits, but it also clearly knew that the fruits were not ripe yet, making it seem a little impatient.

Just as the little fox was about to climb up the tree, a streak of black light flashed and a black leopard that was many times larger than the little fox appeared. It bared its fangs at the little fox, clearly warning it against something.

Li Xun had a wry smile on his face. If that black panther really wanted to harm him, he would probably have to account for it here. Li Xun had also felt its strength the moment the black panther had appeared.

"Little Qing, they are on the same side as us. Don't scare the two little fellows. Go back." The woman stroked the head of the black panther. The black panther seemed to enjoy itself very much, disappearing without a trace.

"I really didn't think that you would be able to find a Spirit Beast at such a young age. It's a pity that it doesn't have the same attribute as you. I really don't know how it would agree to stay by your side." The woman seemed to feel very regretful as she spoke.

Li Xun told the woman in detail about the background of the little fire fox. If he wanted to trick her, he naturally had to pay a price. Moreover, Madame Purple Star had already been exposed, so there was no need to hide her background from such an expert. The little fox also felt bored and went back to sleep in the ring.

"So that's how it is. The Violet Spirit Fire Fox is a top grade spirit beast. You should hide it well. If someone sees it, it might be detrimental to you."

"Senior, I don't know how you got to know my teacher, but I've never heard him mention it before." Li Xun could feel the concern the woman had for him, so he boldly asked.

"If you can promise that you will bring your master to see me in the future, I'll tell you about the matter between us."

Li Xun's heart skipped a beat: There was a problem, there was definitely a problem. He did not expect this old man to have some sort of amorous debt, but that was not right. This girl was so beautiful and she had nothing to say, so how could she not hit this old man?

"Senior, please forgive this junior but I will definitely bring back the wish that you wanted to see my master. As for whether he comes or not, that will depend on the old man's decision. "

"That's right. He was the one who nurtured you after all. Do you know that if you had agreed just now, I would have chopped you apart with one palm?" The woman's voice was still as soft as before, but when Li Xun heard it, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

What kind of person was this? Why did he want his life so silently? He almost got involved. Sure enough, the people who were related to the old man were all strange people.
