27: Being targeted

Just as the two were speaking, a figure suddenly flew onto Spirit Gathering Peak. Immortal Master Xuan Qing arrived beneath the large tree and stood respectfully behind the Old Ancestor.

Li Haotian looked at the two old men with some confusion. They wouldn't come unless they had something important to discuss; they must have something to say to him today.

But the way the two of them were posing now, looking mysterious and profound, made Li Haotian struggle to keep a straight Face.

"Haotian, as a Qi Refinement Stage Cultivator, there seems to be no need for you to hide your cultivation. It's fine to show it to outsiders normally; everyone knows the situation anyway."

Old Ancestor Taixuan realized he couldn't see Li Haotian's cultivation level, and a helpless smile appeared on his Face.

This Little guys really cared about his Face, afraid others would know his low cultivation, so he specifically hid it.

Li Haotian did not offer any explanation. There was nothing to explain about this, and furthermore, he couldn't explain why his Spiritual Root and Dantian were completely repaired.

One must know that this was something even an Immortal descending to the mortal world would find difficult to achieve. Even if he, a small piece of trash, relied on the Heaven And Earth Treasure left by his former Revered Master, he shouldn't have been able to recover his talent.

Currently, Li Haotian's cultivation had already reached the Golden Core Peak. It only took him a little over a week to go from Foundation Establishment to Golden Core.

After all, it was a path he had walked before, so the speed of Cultivation was naturally much faster. However, he didn't want to tell anyone else, because he currently lacked the ability to protect himself and had no backing.

If the other Chief Disciples wanted to harm him, they would likely have many methods.

Hiding and developing now, and only showing off once he becomes a Great Emperor—that was Li Haotian's Principle for Survival.

"I have seen that child Su Yao. The reason we came to find you this time is also Xuan Qing's intention. We hope you can properly guide your Disciple in the future and teach her well with your utmost ability, especially since you were once a Nirvana Realm Expert."

"I hope you stop letting Su Yao continue consuming those Medicinal Pill that forcibly increase cultivation. You should be very clear about how much harm it will cause her in the future if it destabilizes the child's Foundation."

"As for the bets you made before, I can completely disregard them. You can let Su Yao do nothing at the Grand Competition a year from now, but I hope you can properly guide this Prodigy and not let her talent go to waste."

Li Haotian lowered his head and remained silent for a long time. So, the other party had come for this.

"Thank you, Old Ancestor, for your concern. You don't need to worry about teaching my Disciple. I naturally know what should be done and what shouldn't. Revered Master told me everything. As his Grand-Disciple, I will not teach Su Yao casually. As for the bet between Huang Bocheng and me, it still stands."

Old Ancestor Taixuan sighed helplessly and nodded.

This guy was indeed as stubborn as his Revered Master. He had an easier way that didn't require him to make more enemies, but he insisted on not taking it.

His temperament was practically carved from the same mold as his Revered Master's.

"Since you can distinguish right from wrong, I won't say much more. I have one more request: you previously bet with the Chief Disciples of the Nine Peaks for their Disciples. Spirit Gathering Peak doesn't have many Elder available for teaching; besides you, there isn't even anyone with a position."

"Could we have them convert your bet into some resources instead? Don't let those Disciples come; I worry you might not be able to handle it alone."

Li Haotian did not argue this time and nodded.

"The Old Ancestor can arrange this matter. I trust the Old Ancestor won't let me suffer a loss. I truly can't teach all those Disciples; having one Prodigy is enough to keep me fully occupied."

Hearing Li Haotian's words, Immortal Master Xuan Qing and Old Ancestor Taixuan's expressions improved slightly. Having achieved their goal, the two left satisfied.

Li Haotian didn't hesitate for a moment and immediately started packing. He was preparing to leave the Sect and head to Yuanzhou Province—his second Disciple was about to be taken under his wing!

It was inevitable that he would be excited at this moment. Su Yao had brought him enormous benefits in just a few days.

If he got another Disciple like her, wouldn't he immediately soar!

Moreover, the reward the System gave this time was cultivation equivalent to his Disciple's. This meant that whatever amount of Spiritual Qi his Disciple absorbed through Cultivation in the future, he would receive the same amount.

In this way, even if he completely slacked off, he would have a Disciple helping him Cultivate. He wouldn't even need to Cultivate himself.

He was extremely envious of this function. Why work hard when he could slack off?

Soon, Elder within the Sect noticed Li Haotian leaving and immediately reported the matter to the Sect.

"There's no need to worry about this guy. He should have quite a few methods left by the Supreme One. As long as he doesn't encounter a Saint, he should be fine."

Xuan Qing was completely unconcerned about his departure. His safety was naturally guaranteed, especially since he was the Heavenly Profound Sect's Chief Disciple. If anyone dared to lay a hand on him, that would be equivalent to starting a war against the entire Heavenly Profound Sect!

On the other side, Su Yao was very lucky and caught the last run of the Teleportation Array, which sent her directly to another State. After several transfers, she finally arrived in Yuanzhou Province.

Upon arriving, she immediately wrapped herself up tightly and put on a Black Robe.

Everyone in the Li Family, including Su Yao, was on the Su Family's Bounty List.

Once her true identity was discovered, the consequences would be unimaginable.

She would likely Face endless pursuit until they were caught and delivered to the Su Family members.

Su Yao did not want to take this risk, so she covered herself very thoroughly.

After the Spirit Boat stabilized, Su Yao jumped off and bid farewell to the Merchant Caravan. She had taken a ride with the caravan from another city to reach Jinyun City.

This was the location of the Su Family.

"Please be charitable, miss. Please, I beg you, be charitable."

A ragged Old Woman holding a broken bowl begged her way over to Su Yao.

Su Yao reached out, pulled out a piece of silver, and placed it in her bowl. The Old Woman repeatedly bowed. Su Yao paid no attention to this and successfully entered the city.

The Old Woman watched Su Yao's retreating back, and a hint of joy flashed in her eyes.

Wasn't that familiar Mark on the other party's wrist the sign of the person the Su Family members were offering a bounty for?

She turned around and sold this information to a Small Power, exchanging it for considerable wealth. She danced excitedly before quickly leaving the area.

"Hahaha! I really didn't expect this, Big Brother! That Sinful Woman Su Yao from the Su Family actually appeared in Jinyun City!"

"If we can capture her, we'll hit the jackpot! The bounty offered by the Su Family members is extremely valuable!"

"Hmph, that little girl's cultivation was only Qi Refining before, but we can't be sure if she's improved now. Call the Brothers to act together. Even if she has reached Foundation Establishment, we must capture her!"

A group of Cultivator who looked like Bandits showed sinister smiles on their Faces, their eyes constantly flashing with greedy light.
