Regarding how Lin Tian got in touch with the Cultivation Path, Jii Xiaoyao was somewhat puzzled. After returning, deciding to dissolve the betrothal, Jii Xiaoyao roughly investigated Lin Tian. He was merely a village boy from Phoenix Town, growing up there all along. Not to mention contacting the Cultivation Method, even the Ancient Martial Way would be quite difficult. Jii Xiaoyao was filled with confusion, paused for a while, then frowned and said to Ancestor Situ Han, "Ancestor, could it be possible that Lin Tian was taken as a disciple by some Advanced Guiding Master? And then, he came to this Tianlan Sect to train!" "That is uncertain! Although the current Cultivation World is not comparable to the Ancient Times, there might still be some opportunities. Of course, it can’t be ruled out that some expert valued him and took him as a disciple!" Situ Han couldn’t confirm, stroked his white beard, shook his head slightly and said, "Anyway, considering his personal experience and background, achieving such accomplishments is extremely rare, having his own pride is justified!" "Hmm, I just can’t stand his demeanor! If there’s no master behind him, he’s simply overestimating himself, completely unaware of how treacherous the Cultivation World is!" Jii Xiaoyao snorted disdainfully, her face full of contempt towards Lin Tian, "And with just such little achievements, what’s there to be proud about? Compared to our Star Mountain’s Xu Jingling and several other senior brothers, he’s far off! Let alone that Lin Bei who is the Young Supreme..." "Haha... You’re too harsh, young lady! He is already quite good. Just a mere Guiding Master, how could he be compared to our Star Mountain’s Heaven’s Chosen ones? Haven’t you already broken the betrothal with him, no need to be fixated!" Situ Han shook his head with a bitter smile at Jii Xiaoyao and said, "As for comparing him to that Lin Bei, you are placing too much of a burden. Although the names differ by just one character, the difference isn’t just a level, they are not of the same world... Not to mention Lin Tian, even the Heaven’s Chosen Ye Qianli from Sword Saint Mountain is far behind!" "Hehe, Ancestor, then you admit Lin Bei is quite outstanding!" Jii Xiaoyao’s beautiful eyes lit up, she laughed playfully. "Haha... Outstanding. The one Little Demon is interested in must be outstanding! Besides, at such a young age achieving such accomplishments, I, the old man, am far behind!" Situ Han laughed heartily, then sighed long and deep, finally showing Jii Xiaoyao a loving and doting smile, he said, "Therefore, Ancestor supports you in pursuing that guy! Although he is excellent, Little Demon is not bad either! At least in Central Continent, your talent is considered top-notch. At your age, those reaching the Qi Refining Tenth Realm are very rare, akin to phoenix feathers and unicorn horns! Add your appearance, it leaves nothing to be desired! Hence, if sincerity is present and fate is favorable, he shouldn’t refuse..." "Hehe, wonderful, with Ancestor’s words, it surely can happen!" Jii Xiaoyao laughed out loud with excitement like a little girl, then she added, "Ancestor, let me tell you, my master contacted Lin Bei, and in two days when I return to Yanjing, I’ll be able to see him!" "Oh? Your master knows that Daoist Lin Bei?" Situ Han paused, stopped, turned around, and asked in surprise. "Of course! Ancestor, previously my master was sent to the Southwest to suppress the Holy Gu Sect, wasn’t that at the behest of the Sect Leader Uncle..." Jii Xiaoyao nodded emphatically, meanwhile explained the general situation of her master Weng Xiyun’s trip to the Southwest. "So that’s how it is!" Situ Han nodded lightly in astonishment. At that moment, Jii Xiaoyao’s beautiful eyes lit up with excitement, "Then Ancestor, why don’t you accompany me to Yanjing in a couple of days, will you? With you there and a few good words from you, perhaps Lin Bei might..." Saying this, Jii Xiaoyao’s charming face suddenly flushed red, unable to continue. Her eyes were filled with anticipation and yearning. As for Lin Bei, she hadn’t met him, didn’t know his appearance, couldn’t discern his personality, but from her master’s description, she roughly knew, he is an extraordinary young man, the supreme Heaven’s Chosen she admired! Thinking that if Lin Bei accompanies her back to Central Continent, it would make numerous talents bow their heads, incite envy and jealousy among countless peer Heaven’s Chosen Girls. At the moment, she couldn’t help but nervously tighten her jade-like hands, heart pounding like a deer running wild, she was filled with anticipation and eagerness. "Haha, does Little Demon lack confidence?" Situ Han shook his head with a smile, "Such matters cannot let Ancestor intervene! Look, Lin Bei is rumored to have reached the Golden Core Late Stage, though Ancestor’s cultivation may be slightly stronger, yet hasn’t reached the Nascent Soul Stage, we are still fellow daoists! But you are a few generations junior, how would you address him then? Rather, in your youthful interactions, equal status will facilitate better understanding and acceptance!" Jii Xiaoyao cried out in surprise, quickly stated, "No, no! I will discuss with my master later, once in Yanjing, I want to meet Lin Bei alone... I must find a way to make Lin Bei agree..." Seeing Jii Xiaoyao’s anxious and eager expression, Situ Han laughed heartily, continued walking, meanwhile said, "Little Demon, such matters, are up to you! Ancestor is truly powerless..." Situ Han and Jii Xiaoyao’s discussion was naturally unknown to Lin Tian. Otherwise, he might have darkened his face! Beside him, Ye Lan, Yun Qingwan, and others, as Situ Han and Jii Xiaoyao departed, all sighed in relief. Central Continent, Star Mountain! Each word indeed brought an invisible intimidation! Not to mention that immeasurable cultivation old man, even Ye Lan had a nervous heart, anxious and uneasy! "Daoist Lin, do you know them?" Ye Lan looked over and asked Lin Tian. Yun Qingwan and others were also curious, turned their gazes towards Lin Tian. "Sort of... acquainted!" Lin Tian hesitated slightly, nodded and said, "Speaking of which, that girl earlier was my fiancée! However, I dissolved the engagement with her, nothing related now!" Ye Lan and Yun Qingwan and others were momentarily stunned. A disciple of Star Mountain was Lin Tian’s fiancée! That’s no joking matter! "Master, why did you break off the engagement with her? She’s from Star Mountain, if together with her, master wherever goes, no one would dare to bully! Just like those from Snake Scorpion Valley, seeing you would surely flee for their lives..." Yun Qingwan asked Lin Tian curiously with a pout. "Xiao Wan! This is your second master’s private matter, how can you inquire recklessly!" Thɪs chapter is updated by novel·fiɾe·net Ye Lan suddenly interrupted Yun Qingwan, scolded lightly, then apologized to Lin Tian, "Daoist Lin, Xiao Wan is thoughtless, will need your guidance in the future!" "It’s no trouble! It’s all in the past!" Lin Tian shook his head slightly, his expression remaining calm. But, secretly Ye Lan sighed softly; in her view, this engagement was not actively broken by Lin Tian, but rather it was the girl named Jii Xiaoyao who reneged on it, merely saving face by stating the initiative to dissolve the engagement. However, she decided never to voice this thought. And she began to curiously speculate about Lin Tian’s origin and identity, though refrained from asking out loud. Yun Qinghe and others’ faces were also slightly unnatural, looked down in silence. "Alright, Xiao Wan continue to solidify your cultivation! Anything unclear can be asked by me!" Lin Tian wasn’t concerned about their reactions, instead smiled at Yun Qingwan, "When dawn comes, we will go to Tianxiang Island together!" Since having accepted Yun Qingwan as a disciple, Lin Tian was naturally generous, wouldn’t act alone anymore, was already contemplating a cultivation plan for Yun Qingwan, as this young girl’s talent is truly remarkable.
