"Young master, why don't you… seek help from the sect leader?" Elder Tan tentatively suggested after he sensed the displeasure in Bai Yu Xuan's tone.
"My father?" Bai Yu Xuan glared at the old man and scoffed. "If my father finds out that I faked my death, he would severely reprimand me… Do you still think it's wise to ask him for help? It'd be good if he doesn't discipline me after learning about what I've done. Ask him for help to get that woman? You must be kidding me." After taking a deep breath, he muttered, "Just forget about it… I faked my death not entirely because I want that woman. The death of He Shan, the Old Ancestor of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, has almost assuaged my anger and hatred. As for that woman, I'll get her when the time's right…"
At this moment, a voice rang from outside the private room. "Young master."
Soon after, a young man entered after Bai Yu Xuan granted him entry to the room. The young man was none other than the person who accused He Shan of killing Bai Yu Xuan, the Young Master of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect. The people from the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect had called him Xiao Liu.
"Why are you here, Xiao Liu? Didn't I tell you not to come see me for the time being?" Bai Yu Xuan frowned immediately when he saw the young man. "If you're not cautious, you might expose me. My father would be furious if he finds out I'm still alive. Moreover, most of the people from the top sects are still around. If they find out I'm alive as well, they might pressure my father into killing me to seek justice for the Tai Yi Celestial Sect!" Bai Yu Xuan said with a grim expression.
"Young master, I know you're trying to snatch Duan Ling Tian's woman away. There's something you need to know beforehand…" Xiao Liu said with a bitter smile.
"Why must you tell me now? Can't it wait until we return to the sect?" Bai Yu Xuan asked impatiently with a frown on his face.
"Young master, I have to tell you this before you offend Duan Ling Tian…" Xiao Liu replied.
"Hm?" Bai Yu Xuan finally sensed something was amiss from Xiao Liu's tone. "Why are you so afraid of me offending Duan Ling Tian? He's just a prominent Celestial Alchemist from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, isn't he?"
Bai Yu Xuan had been secretly staying in Alchemy City of the Barren Land since he faked his death. However, since he and Elder Tan did not step foot outside, they were both unaware of the incidents that happened during the Alchemy Conference. All they knew was that He Shan had been killed by Bai Wu Ji, the Sect Leader of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect.
"Young master, during the Alchemy Conference, Duan Ling Tian…" Xiao Liu began to recount everything that had happened during the Alchemy Conference to Bai Yu Xuan.
"Duan Ling Tian had won a triple-trait Duke Grade Celestial Method from the Blissful Sect? He also won our sect's triple-trait Duke Grade Divine Ability by competing against Master He? How… How's that possible?! Master He's a supreme Duke Grade Celestial Alchemist, and Duan Ling Tian's just a prominent Celestial Alchemist. How's it possible for him to best Master He? … There's a p-possibility that D-duan Ling Tian comes from a powerful clan in the central area?" Bai Yu Xuan's face turned pale. He was in disbelief and shock after hearing Xiao Liu's words. Previously, he had already suspected Duan Ling Tian's identity and background when he saw how skilled Duan Ling Tian was in alchemy. After all, it was normal for direct descendants from powerful clans to train outside the central area. It seemed like his suspicion was true. He was intimidated just by the thought of it. The consequences of kidnapping Duan Ling Tian's woman and offending Duan Ling Tian would be disastrous! Not only would his father be unable to save him, but even the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect would suffer the consequences! Although there might be some quasi Celestial Kings protecting their sect in the dark, they were still no match for powerhouses from powerful clans in the central area. Moreover, based on how talented Duan Ling Tian was, it was highly likely that his clan was extraordinary. Who knew if Duan Ling Tian's clan had Celestial Kings and Celestial Lords?
'Thank goodness! Thank goodness Duan Ling Tian and the woman decided to stay in the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect's residence. Otherwise, it'll be disastrous if Elder Tan makes a move. I'll definitely be implicated as well!' When Bai Yu Xuan regained his senses, a sense of immense relief washed over him. He was glad he could not make a move that he would regret due to Duan Ling Tian's decision to stay with the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect.
"Elder Tan!" Bai Wu Ji glared at the elder as he furiously asked, "When I ordered you to tail Duan Ling Tian earlier, didn't you hear about what happened during the Alchemy Conference? If you'd reported this back to me, I wouldn't even think about kidnapping Duan Ling Tian's woman! Do you know your mistake could've cost me my life?! If I die because of you, don't even think about getting away with it!" He was clearly venting the frustration and fear in his heart on the elder.
Similarly, Elder Tan was in shock as well after hearing Xiao Liu's words. After Bai Yu Xuan was done venting, he smiled wryly and said, "Young master, I was too caught up in following Duan Ling Tian so I didn't pay attention to the rumors. Thank goodness we didn't make a move on Duan Ling Tian because he's staying with the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect. Otherwise, it'd be disastrous!" He wiped off the beads of cold sweat on his forehead. He felt as though he had barely escaped from the jaws of death.
Bai Yu Xuan sighed before he said, "Xiao Liu, I don't care what you do, just make sure my father and the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect are the last to leave Alchemy City. I don't want to return on my own… The safest way is for me to return with the sect." He knew he would not be in a favorable situation if it was made known to the people from the top sects of the Six Southeastern Regions that he was still alive. He knew he would have to wait for time to pass. As long as enough time passed, even if the truth came to light at that time, the matter would not be so serious. He had even planned for the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect to compensate and given an explanation to the Tai Yi Celestial Sect so he could further secure his safety.
"Yes, young master." After receiving orders from Bai Yu Xuan, Xiao Liu left immediately.
After Xiao Liu left, Bai Yu Xuan slumped back into his seat and looked out the window in the direction of the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect's residence again. The fear swirling in his eyes was now replaced with relief. "I didn't expect my suspicion to be right and that Duan Ling Tian really came from a powerful clan in the central area… Looks like I won't be able to get my hands on that woman." He was so terrified that it seemed like he had been shocked into being sensible. With Duan Ling Tian's formidable background, he knew Huan'er was strictly off-limits. Huan'er might be a peerless beauty, but he, naturally, cherished his life above everything else.
…
Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian was unaware that Bai Yu Xuan had faked his death. Otherwise, he would have sought justice from Bai Wu Ji, the Sect Leader of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect, and force him to kill his son. Alas, he was currently cultivating in a room with Huan'er, oblivious to what was going on in a restaurant nearby.
…
Although Zhou Shu Qiu had long heard from Lyu Luo that Duan Ling Tian and Huan'er shared a room, she was still shocked when she witnessed it for herself. "He… He's sharing a room with that woman?!"
