Otherworldly-Cultivator

'Tch! This guy is really shameless! He brought his wife here, and he also got Yan'er as his partner, but he's still targeting me.' Diao Hudie grumbled inwardly before pushing Chen Li backwards with a little force. "I admit that you are an extraordinary young man, and you also have such an extensive connection, but I cannot be your partner."

"Why is that?" Chen Li asked with a frown.

Diao Huide sighed heavily before explaining to him. "I don't know about sect rules in your realm or other realms, but this realm is different, and there are some special rules in this sect. An elder is prohibited from having a relationship with a core disciple or below, so you must be a peak-class disciple first if you want me to be your partner, especially since they are our potential successors."

"A peak-class disciple, right?" Chen Li asked again, but a relaxed smile appeared on his face, and Diao Hudie nodded to him. "What are the criteria for becoming one? Do I only need to reach the heaven realm?"

"One of them is that." Diao Hudie then made a gesture with three fingers. "There are still three other criteria that you must fulfill to become a peak-class disciple: arena rank, mission rank, and merit rank."

"Hmm?" Chen Li raised his eyebrows for a moment before nodding in understanding. "Arena rank can only be increased by frequently challenging other disciples, and my rank will increase faster if I defeat disciples with higher rank. Besides, I can only increase my mission rank by completing many missions, especially high-ranking missions. Meanwhile, merit rank can only be obtained if I can make great contributions, right?"

'Could it be the person who created these two formations who told him about all that?' Diao Hudie wondered as her eyes moved up and down, observing Chen Li. "Yes, so you have to fight hard if you want to get me as your partner, but it's not easy to achieve all that."

"I know." Chen Li casually replied to her. "Actually, I'm not interested in becoming a peak-class disciple, let alone becoming the successor in this sect. However, I will do everything to get you as my partner, so you should keep your words just now, and I will take you as my partner by then."

"You're confident with yourself, huh?" Diao Hudie said that with her eyes narrowed at him.

"Haha." Chen Li laughed at her expression. "A woman certainly wouldn't like a man who doesn't have self-confidence, right?"

"That's right." Diao Hudie agreed with him. "Men who don't have self-confidence will never be successful, and they will have difficulty progressing in their cultivation, so they won't be able to protect their partners. As for me, I am an independent woman, and I can protect myself, so it's not an exaggeration if I want to have an equal partner, right?"

"En." Chen Li nodded to her. "Not only you, but there are many other women who also hope to have a partner who is equal to them. Don't worry, I will achieve everything, and you will be mine at that time."

"I don't need your words, and I will wait for your proof." Diao Hudie then turned to Xue Xueyan. "Do your father and grandfather already know about your relationship with him?"

"Not yet." Xue Xueyan answered by shaking her head, and she then told Diao Hudie about some of the problems behind her decision to join their sect. "However, I didn't expect to meet Long Wang here, and I'm his partner now. That's why I haven't told them about our relationship, so I hope you don't tell them about it either, and Aunt Lan will tell them when the time is right."

"Xue Feng is indeed too much; you are his daughter, but he wants to hand you over to that useless old fatso. All right, you don't need to worry about him; I won't say anything to them." Xue Xueyan felt relieved after she said that, and Diao Hudie then asked Chen Li again. "Can I come here often to cultivate?"

'Oh? She's interesting, and her cultivation is quite good, but I didn't expect that she would have poison-profound veins like Xianglin.' Chen Li inwardly muttered, but he didn't seem to care that Qin Li already had a partner.

'Are you interested in that senior, big brother?' Bei Yudie asked as she pulled Chen Li's sleeve.

Chen Li smiled in amusement as Bei Yudie always asked that whenever he saw an attractive woman, but he immediately nodded to her. 'She's not bad, and his cultivation is quite high, so it's not wrong if I want her as my partner, right? Unfortunately, she already has a partner now, and his cultivation should be on par or higher than hers, so I won't act rashly.'

'I see.' Bei Yudie nodded in understanding. 'I think Big Sis Xian'er won't mind if you take her as your partner, but she won't agree if she becomes our sister.'

"Grandma Wudie!" Xue Xueyan's sudden shout startled Chen Li and Bei Yudie, and she immediately ran over to the two women, so they followed behind her.

"Hmm?" The female elder looked at Xue Xueyan in surprise. "How did you come to join this sect, Little Yan? Does your father know that you are here?"

"Grandma! There is no need to mention my father." Xue Xueyan then pointed behind her. "They are my partner and sister, Long Wang and Bei Yudie."

"Long Wang? Are you the disciple who succeeded in producing gold in yesterday's test?"

Hearing that, Qin Li looked at Chen Li, and he looked amazed at him, especially since he was the first person who could produce golden color.

"Yes, Elder." Chen Li nodded to her. "How should I address you, elder?"

Instead, Xue Xueyan answered him. "Brother, she is Aunt Hudie's mother, Diao Wudie."
