342: cheating

Seeing the guy so terrified that he had already started crippling his own wife to demonstrate his loyalty, Li Haotian naturally had no further intention of giving him a hard time.

With a gentle wave of his hand, he whisked Liang Yun away from the scene.

Liang Yun's eyes were filled with bewilderment. She felt a wave of dizziness wash over her, and when she looked down again, the ground had vanished, leaving only a vast sea of clouds.

"You didn't expect my identity, did you?"

Liang Yun nodded, a helpless smile appearing on her face.

"I truly had no idea you were the Ruler of the Immortal Kingdom. No wonder you were able to save me from peril so effortlessly."

Liang Yun had not realized that the times she had been assassinated by multiple attackers or poisoned at the restaurant were all resolved by him.

If not for Li Haotian, she would surely be dead by now.

This was also the reason why she had been so decisive and straightforward about becoming his Disciple just a moment ago.

Knowing that the other party was her savior, if she wanted to repay his kindness, the only way was to become his Disciple, learn from him, and then strive to improve her Cultivation.

To see if she might have a chance to repay Li Haotian.

Li Haotian found her attitude quite acceptable, so he nodded.

"In a moment, I will introduce your Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters to you. They are all outstanding individuals with very high Cultivation. If there is anything you don't understand, you can ask them."

Li Haotian, as part of taking on a new Disciple, tossed out a suitable Cultivation Technique and handed it to her.

In his eyes, these Cultivation Techniques were not worth much. As long as they were suitable for her to learn and use, giving them away was perfectly fine—it was a worthwhile investment.

After all, as a Disciple's Cultivation improved, it would correspond to an increase in his own Cultivation; the speed of the Disciple's progress would naturally reflect back onto him.

"This Storage Ring contains a vast amount of resources. Cultivate diligently according to the technique. I want to see results in a short time, but you must also lay a solid foundation. Do not be greedy for quick results; as your Revered Master, I hope for your steady development."

Li Haotian casually tossed a Storage Ring toward her.

It naturally contained a massive amount of resources; she wouldn't need to worry about the resources required to Cultivate from her current Nirvana Realm all the way to the Immortal Venerable Realm.

Looking at the complete Cultivation Technique in her hands, Liang Yun's hands trembled slightly. She had always been unable to advance further due to a lack of proper techniques and resources.

Now that she had not only received an incredibly powerful Cultivation Technique but also massive resources, she realized after just a few glances that this technique was far superior to what she had practiced before. Even the opening few sentences brought her instant enlightenment.

After studying it for a moment, she already had new insights regarding her Cultivation. Having already been at the Peak of the Nirvana Realm, she instantly experienced a Breakthrough to the next Realm. Just as she began to feel overwhelmed...

Li Haotian flicked his finger gently, and a stream of spiritual energy instantly merged into her body.

The sensation was incredibly refreshing.

"After we arrive at the Sect, try to remain composed. There are many treasures there, and many Powerhouses as well. Do not let them look down on you."

Li Haotian's tone was very flat, as if he were discussing something trivial, but in reality, he was secretly giving her a heads-up.

This was because Li Haotian had already made a bet with the others regarding how she would react once she arrived at the Sect. The other Disciples all believed she would be so shocked she wouldn't be able to speak, while Li Haotian was preemptively preparing her.

There was no major stake involved between them; whoever lost would have to build a fire and cook for everyone for a whole month.

Thus, the bet was officially on.

Li Haotian had no intention of losing, so he began to describe various aspects of the Sect.

Upon hearing this, Liang Yun's eyes sparkled. Just from his description, she could tell that the Sect was undoubtedly a place shrouded in mist, filled with immortals everywhere.

The little stars twinkling in Liang Yun's eyes made Li Haotian somewhat worried.

If she really showed any sign of surprise later, he would be the one in trouble.

When they arrived outside the Sect, Li Haotian gave a light wave of his hand, and a barrier instantly retracted.

Everything within the Sect was suddenly revealed to Liang Yun's view.

Pavilions hidden within the forest, and Powerhouses flying back and forth through the sky on swords.

On the Arena, powerful auras collided with one another, and the surrounding air seemed to be affected by the intensity.

The four Disciples looked up at the sky in unison and were surprised to see the woman Li Haotian had brought with him.

"Oh my god, Revered Master went and brought back a Junior Sister for us!"

"The Junior Sister is quite pretty, but her Cultivation is terrifyingly low."

"Hmm, Revered Master must have his reasons for doing this."

Everyone rubbed their chins and nodded, all agreeing that this made perfect sense.

The person in the sky didn't show much surprise; Li Haotian had already prepared her for this.

Just like that, Li Haotian successfully won four months of not having to cook, enjoying the luxury of having these guys do it for him.

To them, it wasn't really a big deal; it was just that everyone enjoyed a good wager.

Although they weren't betting money or anything valuable, they just enjoyed the thrill of winning or losing.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Someone with such low Cultivation isn't showing any shock at all. Revered Master must have tipped her off in advance."

Su Yao immediately realized what Li Haotian had done.

"Good, good, good! So that's it! Revered Master is really playing dirty!"

Little Fatty Bai also realized what happened. With such low Cultivation, this girl was clearly inexperienced; how could she not be shocked when facing such a Sect?

"As expected of Revered Master! If Revered Master didn't pull something like this, I really wouldn't think it was him!"

Zhang Hai also nodded. This was truly Revered Master's style!

Everyone resigned themselves to this bitter pill.

Li Haotian naturally noticed the resigned expressions on their faces and knew they had guessed what he had done. But as the saying goes, the older the ginger, the spicier it gets. This was something they hadn't considered, so it had nothing to do with him.

"A bet is a bet. For the next while, you guys will be doing the cooking for me."

Li Haotian chuckled.

"You guys take her around the Sect and show her the ropes. As her Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters, you should look after her."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Li Haotian flashed away from the spot to attend to his own affairs.

The group immediately surrounded her.

"Wow! So this is our Junior Sister!"

Little Fatty Bai looked very excited, as if he were examining some novel curiosity.

"I'm Little Fatty Bai, Revered Master's third Disciple. This is our Senior Sister Su Yao, our Second Senior Brother Zhang Hai, and our Fourth Junior Brother Du Xian. You're ranked fifth!"

Little Fatty Bai introduced them generously, while Liang Yun bowed respectfully and politely to each of them in turn.
