Free Web NovelChapter 310: Senior Brother
Elder Liang already knew about Xu Yun’s love for Tang Yin, but the Orchid Blossom Saintess did not. She was quite shocked, but then a thought crept into her mind. She looked at her daughter as if she were a treasure trove.
Xu Yun stood in a corner with her head lowered. However, she still paid attention to everything that was happening. She was quite curious about the reason for her Grandpa’s sudden outburst.
"It’s been 45,000 years since then." Qian Zhong muttered under his breath. He then sized Tang Yin up once more. Then he nodded, "Good, Senior Tian chose a good disciple."
"Senior Qian, what is your relationship with my Master?" Tang Yin asked calmly. From Qian Zhong’s words, he had already figured out that he had a positive relationship with his Master. freēwebnovel.com
"Back then, I was only a lowly Principle Comprehension Realm cultivator whilst Senior Tian was an almighty Law Domain Realm cultivator. Not only did Senior Tian save my life, but he also gave me many pointers in my cultivation. I might not have reached the Law Domain Realm if it weren’t for Senior Tian’s guidance and life-saving grace." Qian Zhong briefly explained.
Elder Liang and Orchid Blossom Saintess listened in with open ears. They had never heard of this before. Tang Yin’s position in their eyes changed.
Elder Liang felt bitter. He had treated Tang Yin coldly and now that Qian Zhong valued Tang Yin so highly, it was not necessarily a good thing for him.
On the other hand, the Orchid Blossom Saintess was concocting a plan. A plan in which Xu Yun’s feelings played a vital role.
"Forget about what I’ve said earlier. You do not need to join the Moonlit River Sect. Senior Tian’s death is already known by the powerful cultivators of the Bright Yang Continent. Nevertheless, I still feel indebted to him."
"Since I can’t repay Senior Tian for everything he has bestowed upon me in the past, I’ll repay Senior Tian by helping you. You want to enter a Space Principle based Holy Land right? Consider it done." Qian Zhong’s voice held no trace of the earlier killing intent, only the kindness of an old man.
Tang Yin hurriedly bowed, "Thank you, Senior Qian!" He could hardly suppress the excitement brimming within him.
"Stop calling me Senior. Although I’m not Senior Tian’s disciple, I still received some of his guidance and teachings. Therefore, I can be considered as half a disciple. So, just address me as Senior Brother." Qian Zhong stated seriously.
Tang Yin’s position in Elder Liang and the Orchid Blossom Saintess’ heart grew higher. Elder Liang was regretting his previous cold attitude toward Tang Yin whilst the Orchid Blossom Saintess was teeming with excitement and anticipation. Her eyes shone as she glanced at the stunned Xu Yun.
"Senior Brother Qian." Tang Yin said awkwardly. Qian Zhong simply nodded.
"The Holy Land that I will send you to is the Hectic Chasm Holy Land. It is obviously owned by the Twin Snake Clan. I’ll just need to pull a few strings to give access to you."
"Unfortunately, you can’t stay in the Hectic Chasm Holy Land for too long. Even with my power and authority, a decade is the maximum amount of time I can allow an outsider to cultivate in the Holy Land."
"Of course, if you join the Moonlit River Sect or any other organizations affiliated with the Twin Snake Clan, I can extend this period of time. The choice is yours." Qian Zhong mentioned and explained.
Tang Yin nodded.
The Twin Snake Clan was one of the 9 Rank 8 Organizations of the Bright Yang Continent. The Moonlit River Sect was affiliated with the Twin Snake Clan and followed their orders.
However, Rank 8 Organizations wouldn’t send orders to their affiliated organizations often as they could handle all of the important matters themselves. Only the trivial matters would be handed to the Rank 7 Organizations under them.
"Leave." Qian Zhong said to Elder Liang, Xu Yun and the Orchid Blossom Saintess. He gestured for Tang Yin to stay though. It seemed that he still had a few more things to say.
The trio paid their respects to Qian Zhong before leaving the Thousand Blossom Hall. Only Tang Yin and Qian Zhong remained in the hall now.
"I’ve seen the love Little Yun Yun has for you. However, I don’t see the same emotion in your eyes. It seems that you have no interest in her." Qian Zhong said with a sigh.
He originally wanted to marry his granddaughter to Tang Yin. However, he knew that this would not work out. Tang Yin did not love Xu Yun, nor was he that close to her.
"Sorry Senior Brother." Tang Yin could only apologize with embarrassment. What Qian Zhong said was true.
"It doesn’t matter. I assume you already have a lover, right?" Qian Zhong enquired. Tang Yin only nodded, providing no further elaborations.
Qian Zhong quietly muttered to himself before letting out a resigned sigh.
"Well, that doesn’t matter. How about taking Xu Yun as a concubine?" Qian Zhong proposed.
Tang Yin thought for a moment before realising Qian Zhong’s intentions.
Qian Zhong knew that Tian Huang would choose a worthy disciple. He could also see Tang Yin’s potential. Tang Yin would most likely become a Law Domain Realm cultivator in the future as long as nothing unfortunate happened.
He wanted to give Tang Yin as many benefits as possible right now so that Tang Yin could reciprocate him in the future. Of course, he also wanted to pay off the debt he owed to Tian Huang.
But he mainly wanted reciprocation in the future if Tang Yin became a Law Domain Realm cultivator. He was investing in Tang Yin.
If Tang Yin became a Law Domain Realm cultivator in the future, he would remember his favour and kindness from the past and would reciprocate him in the future.
However, if Tang Yin did not become a Law Domain Realm cultivator in the future, then he would simply count his investment in Tang Yin as paying off his debt to Tian Huang.
"Sorry to disappoint you Senior Brother Qian, but I am faithful to my partner. I will not consider polygamy or taking in any concubines." Tang Yin sincerely apologized.
However, he still remembered Qian Zhong’s kindness in his heart. If the time came in the future, he would not mind reciprocating Qian Zhong as long as it did not harm him or bring him huge losses.
Seeing Tang Yin’s adamant viewpoint of staying faithful to his partner, Qian Zhong sighed in admiration. How many cultivators could stay faithful to a single partner? Incredibly few.
"Well, it’s fine. I will keep Little Yun Yun available for a few decades in case you change your mind." Qian Zhong insisted.
Tang Yin had no choice but to accept. He could not keep shooting down Qian Zhong’s propositions. There was a limit to a Law Domain Realm cultivator’s patience, after all.
However, he wouldn’t change his mind. Xiao Fei was the only one who he would genuinely love. As for the other women he had slept with or would copulate with in the future, he would only do so for benefits, not out of love.
"If there is anything else you need, don’t hesitate to ask your Senior Brother! As long as it is within my capabilities, I will not refuse." Qian Zhong patted his chest in reassurance.
Tang Yin nodded. Although he didn’t completely trust Qian Zhong, he still felt an emotion he had never felt before, camaraderie. This was one of the only few times in his life that someone was genuinely kind to him. Even though Qian Zhong did this for a bit of reciprocation in the future, it was not a completely business-related intention.
After chatting with Qian Zhong for a bit longer, he was invited to stay at the Moonlit River Sect for a bit by the latter.
Qian Zhong could not get things ready all at once. He needed to communicate with his connections and sort everything out for Tang Yin before letting him enter the Hectic Chasm Holy Land.
In the meanwhile, Tang Yin would stay in the Moonlit River Sect until Qian Zhong sorted everything out and took him to the Holy Land.
Qian Zhong resided in the Thousand Blossom Pavilion for a week. After that, he took a group of people with him back to the Moonlit River Sect.
This group consisted of Tang Yin, Xu Yun, Elder Liang, Qiu Yinzi and the Orchid Blossom Saintess.
Qiu Yinzi came along because of Xu Yun. The Orchid Blossom Saintess had already passed the critical point in her training. Therefore, she chose to train in the Moonlit River Sect for a while. She also wanted to visit her husband.
With Qian Zhong’s protection, the group easily returned to the Moonlit River Sect in 2 days. They barely encountered any difficulties during their journey. They had a Law Domain Realm cultivator for protection, after all.
