nder who your Master is?" Zi Dong Lai suddenly asked and softly chuckled, his tiger-like eyes were ridden with high expectation.
"I have no Masters and belong in no House nor Clan. I am a nomadic cultivator," Ling Xian did not tell the Supreme Master of the Zi Yang House the truth. There was also no proper way to tell him. If he said his Master was the legendary Immortal of Alchemy, Liao Cang Qiong, Zi Dong Lai would die from shock.
Hearing this, Zi Dong Lai’s eyes brightened. "Being a nomad is good. No rules and no restraints, how free."
"If Headmaster has something to say, then you can just say it. There is no need to beat around the bushes." Ling Xian shook his head with a grin. How smart was he? He knew that Zi Dong Lai had other intentions right away.
Having his cover blown so soon made Zi Dong Lai laugh. Not at all embarrassed, he said, "No wonder you’re a Heaven’s Favorite. If that’s the case, then I will get to the main point. I want to formally invite you to act as an Honorable Guest for the Zi Yang House. I wonder how you feel about that?"
"Headmaster, you just told me how great it is to be a nomad, why are you suddenly recruiting me?" Ling Xian teasingly glanced at him.
"I made that comment without any intentions." Zi Dong Lai chuckled as he stared at the young man before him. This was a Heaven’s Favorite who’s natural talent alone is heaven’s defying. Belonging to no House and having no Masters made him a perfect candidate for the Honorable Guest position. Zi Dong Lai did not want to let go of this opportunity.
To know that in the 36 Islands, the Demonic Fairy was arguably the strongest Heaven’s Favorites and was placed third on the List of Hidden Dragons. The top two of the list have been behind doors for a long time and have yet to cross paths with the Demonic Fairy. If they had a chance to battle, then she most likely will climb higher on the list and be named the strongest cultivator of the younger generation on the 36 Islands!
However, such a talented and unprecedented genius has found an opponent who has defeated her. What an unbelievable event.
Though the Demonic Fairy was injured and could not fight to her full potential, both her cultivation and her strength were at the peak. For Ling Xian to defeat her under these circumstances, it has proven how much stronger he was than her!
If he could prepare a technique that can defend against the Demonic Fairy’s real abilities, then he will truly defeat the Demonic Fairy!
Even if he does lack that one technique, Ling Xian’s natural and organic talent and capabilities were still undeniably strong. Without a doubt, he was a notable character in both history and modern day!
Such a rare genius, how could Zi Dong Lai’s heart not waver?
Any force in the entire world would want to do absolutely everything they can to snatch Ling Xian!
Ling Xian was simply too dazzling. It was easy to predict that if he does not injure himself or die on the path to immortality, he will eventually become a dominating powerhouse! His future was bright, limitless, and unparalleled.
"Hmm… to be an Honorable Guest..."
Ling Xian stayed silent for a while and decided to accept Zi Dong Lai’s request. He had two intentions in mind. One was to protect the two sisters, and two was to find more information regarding how to return to the nine continents.
Now that Zi Dong Lai has personally invited him to be an Honorable Guest he was not going to reject. Using the high position of a Honorable Guest, he will read some ancient books and collect some records.
"What do you think?" Zi Dong Lai fixated his gaze onto Ling Xian, he was full of anticipation and feared the word "no". The two fists he formed were even starting to perspire. It was obvious how nervous he was.
Heaven’s Favorites like Ling Xian were far too rare. If he misses this opportunity today, Zi Dong Lai will hold onto this regret for life!
Even more, if the founder of the Zi Yang House find out that he let Ling Xian go, he will probably come back from the dead out of anger and slice him into pieces with the Sword of Zi Yang!
Of course, this was a joke.
"Since the Headmaster is personally asking me…" Ling Xian softly smiled as he saw Zi Dong Lai’s gaze fill with excitement. He slowly spoke out the two words that brought Zi Dong Lai pure euphoria.
"I accept."
