Chapter 954: Heavenly Plume Sect’s Invitation
Could it be the silly queen?
Luo Tian knew Yi Yunmeng was in Martial Mountain City.
The only one he was truly familiar with in Martial Mountain City was Yi Yunmeng.
Luo Tian was feeling a bit excited.
He never expected a queen who sat on a throne of ice would come looking for him on her own accord.
But this excitement disappeared the moment Luo Tian stepped out of the Gambling Pavilion.
The person who came wasn’t Yi Yunmeng. How could the cold and arrogant queen come looking for Luo Tian? This was out of character for a queen. Moreover, her naked body had been entirely seen by Luo Tian, so why would she dare to show herself in front of him?
The person who came was Heavenly Plume Sect’s Yao Hai.
Luo Tian was obviously disappointed, but he still revealed a welcoming smile. “Uncle Yao Hai, how come you’re here?”
If Luo Tian had to thank someone, Yao Hai would be the first person he should be thanking.
If it weren’t for Yao Hai’s interference during the time when everyone was leaving the martial training ground, there would be no way Luo Tian could escape from Martial Mountain City. He also received a Stealth Pill from Yao Hai. Even though the pill was useless against anyone two small realms higher than the user, Luo Tian was still very grateful for Yao Hai’s actions.
It was also Yao Hai that gave Luo Tian a second chance at testing his talent.
It was also he who helped Luo Tian leave.
If it weren’t for Yao Hai, most likely Luo Tian would have died in Ah Si’s hands back then.
Therefore, Luo Tian was filled with grat.i.tude toward him.
Dongfang Shuo had known about those incidents, so that’s why he knocked on the door to disturb Luo Tian’s rest. If it were anyone else, Dongfang Shuo would not bother doing such a thing.
Many people had come looking for Luo Tian the entire afternoon. Most had been kicked out by the guards of the Gambling Pavilion, except for Yao Hai.
Upon seeing Luo Tian, Yao Hai’s mind was a bit worked up. The genuine smile on Luo Tian’s face demonstrated that Luo Tian had not become haughty or arrogant after breaking through to the Four Elements 2nd rank or becoming a prominent figure in Martial Mountain City. Luo Tian looked just the same as before.
Yao Hai was relieved about that.
Yao Hai looked at Luo Tian and said with a smile, “I had a hunch the backlash of the Heavenly Abstruse Pill wouldn’t do much to you, or else why would you eat it? Hahaha… My hunch was correct!”
He was worried, but he understood Luo Tian’s character from the brief period they met.
Luo Tian was someone who wouldn’t recklessly do stuff he wasn’t confident in.
The backlash of the Heavenly Abstruse Pill was especially fierce, yet Luo Tian looked like he wasn’t injured at all.
Luo Tian nodded with a smile, “I was just lucky.”
Dongfang Shuo added with a smile, “No matter how strong the backlash of the Heavenly Abstruse Pill is, I will not let anything happen to him.”
Yao Hai responded, “With Brother Dongfang’s words, even a person meeting King Yama in h.e.l.l would be pulled back, hahaha…”
“Hahaha…” The two of them laughed together.
Luo Tian then became serious and asked, “Uncle Yao Hai, did you come to see me for something important?”
Yao Hai’s expression went back to normal and replied, “No, no, nothing important. I just wanted to see how you were doing. I am relieved after seeing that you’re okay.”
Luo Tian then said, “Just go ahead and tell me if there’s something. You don’t need to regard me as an outsider.”
Yao Hai faintly sighed as he didn’t want to hide the truth. “I’m under orders from the sect leader to recruit you into the Heavenly Plume Sect. I blame it on myself for being a blabbermouth and saying nothing will happen to you. Sigh~… Honestly, the Heavenly Plume Sect is no longer the Heavenly Plume Sect of the past.”
Yao Hai then continued, “Luo Tian, I actually don’t want you to enter the Heavenly Plume sect. There’s really no point in going there since they are already in a hopeless situation. Even I have thoughts of leaving the sect.”
He didn’t want Luo Tian to enter the Heavenly Plume Sect because it would harm him.
But he was under constant nagging by the sect leader, so he didn’t have a choice. Even his family was threatened under veil words, so he could only thicken his face and give it a try.
After this matter, Yao Hai’s heart toward the Heavenly Plume Sect had hit rock bottom.
Luo Tian looked at Yao Hai.
Before Luo Tian could say anything, Dongfang Shuo said, “The Heavenly Plume Sect’s leader, Wei Kunlun, is not a good thing. He’s a person that cravingly clings to life instead of braving death. Ever since the Heavenly Plume Sect was taken over by him, they have been getting fewer and fewer resources each year. Now, it has become a second-rate sect. Even the nearly risen Purgatory Sect is stronger than them. Next year, the Bai family will definitely remove their qualifications as one of the thirteen sects. Now, he wants to pull little brother Luo over to make a last-ditch struggle to stay alive?”
“Little brother Luo, do not say yes to him.”
Yao Hai’s expression didn’t undergo too big of a change because everything Dongfang Shuo said was the truth.
If it weren’t for Wei Kunlun’s poor management these past years and the fact that he’s also a despicable coward, the Heavenly Plume Sect wouldn’t be in such a bad situation.
Luo Tian didn’t reject the invitation and asked Yao Hai, “Uncle Yao Hai, I would most likely be beaten to death by Ah Si already if it weren’t for your a.s.sistance in the martial training ground. I will never forget the kindness you have shown me.”
“As long as you nod your head, I will follow you and join the Heavenly Plume Sect.”
Even though Luo Tian didn’t want to join any forces in the Ancient World, Yao Hai helped him preserve his life.
As long as Yao Hai nods his head, he will join the Heavenly Plume Sect. He will also help the Heavenly Plume Sect rise up once more because this was the favor he owed Yao Hai.
Luo Tian was exactly this kind of person.
Whoever treated him well, he would return their kindness ten to a hundred times back.
Whoever wants to harm him he would also return it ten to a hundred times back!
Yao Hai was dumbstruck.
Dongfang Shuo was dumbstruck.
They never imagined Luo Tian would say something like that.
Dongfang Shuo’s expression darkened, “Little brother Luo, you need to think it over carefully. You cannot treat this as a joke. If you are joining the Heavenly Plume Sect, you might as well join my Dongfang family. I feel that the Dongfang family is not worthy of your potential, so that’s why I have never mentioned it.”
Luo Tian smiled, “I’ve thought it through. Uncle Yao Hai, nod your head, and I will follow you back. I will use all my strength to make the Heavenly Plume Sect rise up once more.”
If Luo Tian joined the Heavenly Plume Sect, it would quickly rise up once more, no matter how poor Wei Kunlun’s management ability is due to Luo Tian’s current influence in Martial Mountain City. They might easily become the new overlord of Martial Mountain City, too.
There were tears in Yao Hai’s eyes as he never imagined Luo Tian would agree to it so easily. He was blaming himself internally and immediately said, “I was just joking. How can a small sect like the Heavenly Plume Sect, who aren’t even at the bronze level anymore, be worthy of your potential?”
“You mustn’t join them!”
Luo Tian said, “Uncle Yao Hai, don’t worry too much. There’s no such thing as being worthy or not. I am only a normal person without anything special.”
Yao Hai wiped the tears from his old eyes and said, “There’s no need to say anything more then. I’m only here to ask for a drink. I know you have won quite a lot of money from Brother Dongfang, so I was hoping you would treat me to a drink. Hahaha…”
Dongfang Shuo immediately said, “Let’s go drink at Martial Mountain City’s best restaurant! My treat!”
Luo Tian felt grateful toward Yao Hai because they both knew he wouldn’t want to waste his time joining the Heavenly Plume Sect. He could only say a sincere “thank you” inside his heart.
At the same time, Yao Hai was also saying internally, “Thank you, Luo Tian.”
