Tianyu Star, Rong Clan
“It seems there was no accident when you broke through.” Xiao Ziya said.
“Ya.” Jie Yan nodded with a smile on his face.
“Jie Yan, you are truly evil for leaving my Strength by a considerable margin!” The dissatisfied Xia Yue'er, pointed towards Jie Yan's nose as it shouted loudly.
“Yue’er, even if my strength increases in bulk, it will remain like this within two years. In these two years, you will definitely reach the level of an intermediate stage Immortal Sovereign.” Jie Yan directly comforted Xia Yue'er.
“Really?” Xia Yue'er instantly dispelled her dissatisfaction. He nodded seriously and immediately imagined when two years later he would be stronger than Jie Yan. Imagining that, instantly made the tiny Fairy Spirit happy.
As for Xiao Ziya, he simply stared towards Xia Yue'er with a headband. He had already explained before and Xia Yue'er did not believe it at all.
Increasingly, Xiao Ziya wondered why Xia Yue'er was so trusting of Jie Yan. But, thinking back to how Jie Yan had met Xia Yue'er, he felt that it must have been Xia Yue'er's dependence on Jie Yan.
“Did anything happen during my cultivation?” Jie Yan asked curiously.
“Yes, a lot of things happened. I have been surrounding the Rong Clan, and for four days, half of the members of the Rong Clan have mysteriously disappeared. I can't track who attacked either. In other words, whoever attacks, has amazingly terrible spiritual power.” Xiao Ziya said.
A frown appeared on Jie Yan's forehead when he heard that. But, before he spoke, someone knocked on the door of his residence.
Xiao Ziya who had already tracked who it was, directly entered the Soul Room while Xia Yue'er was just sitting in her VIP seat.
Jie Yan directly walked towards the door and opened it.
“What is Mr Rong Qu?” Jie Yan asked as he looked at Rong Qu's always grim face.
“Patriak calls you because there is something important.” replied Rong Qu.
“Good, let's go.” said Jie Yan.
Rong Qu nodded. However, when he looked towards Jie Yan again, he was shocked because the current oceanic Jie Yan had reached the level of an early stage Immortal Sovereign.
However Rong Qu did not ask how Jie Yan had reached the level of an early stage Immortal Sovereign in just less than a week. It was someone's secret, not a good thing to ask.
Jie Yan followed Rong Qu flying towards the residence the Patriarch of the Rong Clan was in.
Arriving at the Patriarch's residence, the two went straight inside because there was nothing blocking them from entering, of course it was due to Rong Qu's identity.
Rong Qu was the main competitor of the First Son of the Patriarch to occupy the position of Patriarch, it was certain that all the members of the Rong Clan would know him.
Arriving at the room where the discussion was in the Rong Clan, Jie Yan was shocked when he saw who was inside the room.
Aside from the Elders of the Rong Clan who possessed the cultivation level of late stage Immortal Rulers, there was the Patriarch of the Rong Clan and also his sons and daughters. And the latter was a person that Jie Yan had not expected.
“Murid Sect Jie Yan, please sit.” said the last unexpected figure, Emperor Shi.
“Maybe you already know who I am even though we have never spoken before.” Emperor Shi said.
Jie Yan nodded then asked, “What does Emperor Shi want from me?”
Jie Yan's attitude made many of the Elders in the Rong Clan unhappy, but they only remained silent as Emperor Shi looked ordinary.
“I know that you are here for a special mission to become a core disciple. But I think that this mission will be canceled soon. Of course it is because the monster figure you are chasing has appeared all over the place in Tianyu Star, not least in the Sword Sect.” Emperor Shi said.
Emperor Shi's words made Jie Yan surprised at not expecting that the existence was numerous and scattered all over Tianyu Star. Therefore, he immediately strengthened the initial speculation he made.
“Did Emperor Shi just come to say that the mission was revoked at this time?” Jie Yan asked as he felt that Emperor Shi did not need to come alone just for that matter.
“No, first of all, I have to thank you for saving my daughter. And the other one, I want you to take him to protect him. If this matter has been resolved, then I will propose to the Sword Sect that you are very worthy of being a core disciple.” Emperor Shi instantly declared his goal.
Jie Yan was surprised and did not expect that the young miss of the Rong Clan turned out to be the Princess of Emperor Shi who was actually purposely hidden.
“Why did Emperor Shi make me protect your Princess? Aren't many powerful members of the Shi Clan able to protect her?” Jie Yan asked and felt that it must be Emperor Shi's illegitimate son who could make the Shi Clan have certain thoughts about him.
Emperor Shi looked at Jie Yan deeply and said in an indifferent tone, “Because it is as you think. The Shi Empire is not as simple as it seems, and my daughter was born with the pure bloodline of the Shi Clan. However, he is a mixed bloodline that the Shi Clan will not accept and many members of the Shi Clan are trying to snatch the throne from me
Jie Yan fell silent and felt that the bloodline of the Shi Clan was not as simple as it seemed, not the Empire itself.
“Then. they all..” Jie Yan stared at everything inside the room as it seemed that the information was extremely sensitive.
“No need to suspect them all. My daughter is a descendant of the Rong Clan as well, her mother is the younger brother of the Patriarch. And at this time, all the rulers, Sect Masters and Clan Patriarchs would go to the Sword Sect to have a discussion about the crisis that was going on. That's why my daughter should be entrusted to someone.” Emperor Shi said.
“Why did you choose me?” Asked Jie Yan again.
“That's a question you know for sure the answer to. It is evident from your current cultivation level. Did you accept this assignment?” Ask Emperor Shi.
Jie Yan was silent for a long time because he felt that keeping the little boy was too troublesome. But thinking about her not being able to cultivate in two years, and she having to learn the concepts and sword intent, the little princess could definitely be taken care of by Xia Yue'er and Xiao Ziya. He was convinced that Emperor Shi must have given a high price just to have his daughter safe.
“Good, I accept it. However, I will not settle in the Shi Empire, you should know that the monster tried to attack your Princess earlier. It is not safe to stay in a place that can be tracked by the monster.” Jie Yan said.
“Ya, it doesn't matter.” Emperor Shi threw a space ring towards Jie Yan then gazed towards his daughter, “Xiao Xiao, come here.”
Emperor Shi's daughter, who did not carry the Shi or Rong clan named Xiao Xiao, ran with her small legs. His face looked timid at the moment as it approached towards Emperor Shi whom he rarely met.
“From today, you will go with Jie Yan, obey whatever he says.” Emperor Shi said in a gentle tone as he touched Xiao Xiao's head.
Xiao Xiao was a little girl with dark blue hair, charming blue eyes, white skin, and a pretty cute clothing style that made her look like a porcelain doll. He looked towards Jie Yan and knew that Jie Yan was the one who saved him earlier. He hurriedly ran in front of Jie Yan then held his fingers and played while saying in a cute tone with his head down, “Teacher.”.
Jie Yan almost choked when the little Xiao Xiao called him Master. He stared at Emperor Shi blankly as he knew what Emperor Shi meant.
Anyone who sees himself on stage when in competition, they will know that he has a very high potential. And Emperor Shi would naturally not miss the opportunity to tie Jie Yan down. Although it could not, at least his daughter would definitely become something extraordinary in the future if it followed the kind like her who even knew the method of the Belitan Qi King.
