Heaven, this is absolutely insane!
Di Xuan Shang looked at Feng Siyue expressionlessly and asked indifferently, “What is it?”
Feng Siyue sized him up a few times. This man had a deep, pleasant voice and an exceptionally good figure. Even his clothes showed his broad shoulders and narrow waist. I wonder if he has abs?
Thinking about this, she couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. Why didn’t Fifth Master forge a pair of ghostly eyes for her that could see through things?
Wait! What kind of nonsense was she thinking about?
It had been too long since she had seen a man with a good figure.
She cleared her throat and looked at Di Xuan Shang. “Are you the last inheritor of the Tianmen Sword Sect?”
Lu Chen had several question marks over his head. He had imagined countless grand scenes of family reunions, and yet you come to tell me this?
Wait, what did she just say? How did she know?
A hint of surprise flashed in Di Xuan Shang’s eyes, but he didn’t try to hide it. “How do you know?”
Feng Siyue took out the Heavenly Mystery Sword and pointed to the hilt. “My daughter said she saw you enter a gate with a phoenix emblem, so she concluded you went into the Tianmen Sword Sect. Since she saw you were still here, she brought me over.”
Lu Chen was even more shocked. Following Di Xuan Shang and not getting killed was astonishing!
Di Xuan Shang didn’t bother with a child’s antics. He looked at Feng Siyue coldly and said, “Yes, the Tianmen Sword Sect is now down to just me. Even if you have the Heavenly Mystery Sword, if you are not qualified to be the sect master, I will not hand over the sect to you.”
“What do you think qualifies someone?”
Feng Siyue’s lips curled into a faint, almost imperceptible smile. She was always very patient when it came to handsome men!
She glanced again at the man’s mask. Although she still didn’t know what he looked like, she could tell that his figure was exactly her type!
Her heart itched with curiosity. She wanted to pull off his clothes and touch him…
Thinking about this, her face flushed with a suspicious redness.
Luckily, she was wearing a veil; otherwise, she would have been so embarrassed!
“You must receive the sect’s inheritance and possess the strength of a Martial Sovereign realm. Secondly, you must have the ability to make the sect prosper.”
Di Xuan Shang spoke concisely and meaningfully, his deep eyes looking into hers. For some reason, an inexplicable sense of discomfort rose in his heart.
The strength of a Martial Sovereign realm?
Lu Chen thought to himself that Di Xuan Shang was being too harsh. This girl was barely twenty; how could she have such high cultivation?
To everyone’s surprise, the girl nodded and said, “Alright, I will demonstrate my strength within seven days to convince you. So, can you take me to see the sect now?”
Di Xuan Shang glanced at the Heavenly Mystery Sword in her hand and nodded slightly. He couldn’t find a reason to refuse.
The Tianmen Sword Sect was under his temporary care. Now that someone had appeared with the Heavenly Mystery Sword, he had no choice but to take her back.
If she failed to meet the requirements within seven days, he could send her away then!
Meanwhile, Lu Chen stood there, dumbfounded, as he watched Di Xuan Shang leave with the mother and her two children, leaving him alone in a state of confusion.
This wasn’t how he had imagined the story would unfold. Were they really going to live under the same roof so soon?
The Tianmen Sword Sect was actually not far from Vast Academy. They were on the same street but represented two extremes. Vast Academy was thriving and prosperous, while the Tianmen Sword Sect was desolate and forlorn.
When Feng Siyue arrived at the gate of the Tianmen Sword Sect, she couldn’t help but widen her eyes.
The gate had been renovated not long ago, and the plaque bore a phoenix emblem, making it look quite simple. To the unknowing eye, it might have seemed like an ordinary residence.
She had heard from her Grandmaster that, in its prime, the Tianmen Sword Sect covered hundreds of acres and was incredibly glorious, with countless disciples under its wing.
Heaven, if her Grandmaster could see it now, how heartbroken he would be!
The gate was opened by Di Xuan Shang, and as the wind blew, leaves rustled down from the trees, giving a sense of extreme desolation.
However, the next moment, Feng Siyue noticed that although the place was small, it was exquisitely detailed. More importantly, the spiritual energy here was incredibly rich. The flowers and plants on the ground were seventh-grade spiritual plants, and even a single one could fetch a high price, with some rare ones being auction-worthy.
Indeed, one should never judge by appearances alone. Just like the man in front of her, he must be extraordinarily handsome beneath his mask!
Damn, why was she thinking about him again?
“Lan Yi, come out and arrange accommodations for them!”
Di Xuan Shang called out, and a well-groomed young man appeared by his side.
“Master, you’re back? Who are they?”
Lan Yi’s eyes wandered over the woman, and he was immediately shocked.
The master had brought a woman back and showed no signs of rejection. He instinctively looked up at the sky, silently thinking to himself, “The sun hasn’t risen from the west!”
When he saw the two children next to Feng Siyue, his jaw nearly dropped.
Heavens, why do these two children look so much like his master???
When did the master have two children this big?
“She is the master of the Tianmen Sword Sect,” Di Xuan Shang said indifferently, glanced at Lan Yi, and then headed straight back to his room.
Lan Yi was puzzled. What was his master’s expression about? Were these two children not his?
But he didn’t dare to show any signs of surprise. With a smiling face, he first led Feng Siyue and her children on a tour of the sect and explained:
“This is the only remaining stronghold of the Tianmen Sword Sect, with only a dozen rooms. The rest of the sect has long been occupied by Vast Academy. This place was bought by our master a few years ago. He once studied the Heavenly Mystery Sword Technique, so as long as the master is here, the Tianmen Sword Sect will not disappear.”
“Your master wasn’t originally a disciple of the Tianmen Sword Sect?” Feng Siyue asked curiously.
“Of course not. The master accidentally obtained the Heavenly Mystery Sword Technique’s core principles left behind by the Sword Saint in a secret realm years ago, which helped resolve a crisis. That’s why he agreed to guard the Tianmen Sword Sect for the Sword Saint’s residual spirit.”
“He received the Grandmaster’s inheritance?” Feng Siyue was somewhat surprised but found it quite reasonable. After all, the Grandmaster had traveled extensively and left traces everywhere.
Before she left the Ghost Realm, the Grandmaster had mentioned that she had a senior brother. So, was the masked man her senior brother?
“Yes, yes!” Lan Yi’s eyes darted around, and he had a plan in mind. He then arranged for Feng Siyue to stay in the room next to Di Xuan Shang’s and even added a small bed inside.
He was so thoughtful because his master was not interested in women. Bringing back someone like this, especially with two children who looked so much like the master, meant he couldn’t afford to be negligent. At the same time, he wanted to create a bit of an opportunity for the two.
