Sending Back the Message

"White Tiger Elder, please take this letter back to the sect!"

Outside Heaven Treasure Academy, Bai Lu found an elder of their Speed Clan and handed him the letter in her hand.

Bai Lu had long wanted to notify the sect that her cousin could cultivate.

But considering that her cousin's words made sense, she decided to wait until she truly succeeded in breaking through.

So after Tang Yuehua broke through, Bai Lu immediately wrote the letter and prepared to have the people secretly protecting them deliver it back.

As for herself and Tang Yuehua, they would not be returning for another half month.

In another half month, this school year would end as well. Soul Master Academies operated on a one-year academic system, without separate semesters.

Precisely because the term was nearly over, Tang Yuehua wanted to finish this school year properly before returning. Bai Lu found it hard to refuse. They had already waited more than half a year, so another half month made little difference.

However, she still had to send news of Tang Yuehua's successful breakthrough back at once.

As he accepted the letter, White Tiger Elder questioned Bai Lu, "Young Miss, why are you suddenly asking this old man to deliver a letter back? Did something happen?"

"White Tiger Elder, and Grandfather Tang Ming, my cousin has broken through to Level 10!"

Bai Lu smiled faintly, then looked at White Tiger Elder and the other elderly man as she spoke.

The other elderly man had been sent later by the Haotian Sect Master.

She could already foresee the changes in the two elders' expressions.

"What?"

"Bai Lu, are you telling the truth?"

"The Young Miss broke through to Level 10?"

"How is that possible..."

"Wasn't the Young Miss unable to cultivate?"

"..."

Upon hearing Bai Lu's words, White Tiger Elder and the other man were indeed shocked beyond measure.

"Where is the Young Miss now?"

"No, I must personally confirm this!"

After receiving Bai Lu's confirmation, the two hurriedly asked where Tang Yuehua was.

"My cousin... she has something else to do for the moment. White Tiger Elder, you should send the news back first!"

Bai Lu knew that Tang Yuehua had gone to share the good news with Gu Ziyi. It would not be good for the elders to see her at this time.

But she had not expected that after Tang Yuehua went to find Gu Ziyi, she would actually take the initiative to attack.

From Tang Yuehua's behavior during this period, Bai Lu had already believed that she could restrain herself.

Besides, Tang Yuehua had already broken through, and they would be leaving soon.

"Good, good. This is indeed wonderful news. I'll return to the sect at once!"

White Tiger Elder did not delay any further. The Sect Master naturally had to learn of this as soon as possible.

"Old Tang Ming, I'll leave the two of them in your care!"

After saying this to Elder Tang Ming, White Tiger Elder flashed away and left directly.

He was clearly in a hurry to deliver the news back.

"Bai Lu, hurry up and tell me what exactly happened!"

Elder Tang Ming ignored the departing White Tiger Elder and immediately questioned Bai Lu with curiosity.

He had actually known nothing about the Young Miss being able to cultivate. What a dereliction of duty.

Only after kissing Tang Yuehua fiercely for quite a while did Gu Ziyi reluctantly let her go.

Gu Ziyi was quite happy to have won Tang Yuehua over.

After all, Ah Yin and Bibi Dong still felt far too distant to him.

Especially Ah Yin! Gu Ziyi had carefully analyzed Ah Yin's age—of course, he meant her age after taking human form.

Ah Yin met Tang Hao during the fifth year of his travels across the continent, when Tang Hao was thirty-five years old.

By the time Tang Hao was forty-four, Ah Yin had only just entered the mature stage after giving birth to Tang San.

Soul beasts that took human form entered the mature stage at Level 60.

In other words, when Ah Yin met Tang Hao, she was nine years away from Level 60.

Given the Blue Silver Emperor's talent, gaining two levels a year could already be considered slow. Any slower, and her status and talent would seem far too pathetic.

So, calculating eighteen levels over nine years, Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin was around Level 42 when she met Tang Hao.

Soul beasts that took human form generally possessed Innate Full Soul Power, let alone a sovereign like the Blue Silver Emperor.

Without consuming an immortal herb, Xiao Wu had already broken through to Level 40 at the age of fourteen.

Ah Yin, the Blue Silver Emperor, was probably about the same.

So when Ah Yin met Tang Hao, her human age after taking form should have been around sixteen, definitely no more than eighteen. Otherwise, she would make the Blue Silver Emperor seem far too pathetic.

And soul beasts seemed to begin their transformations directly from the age of six.

So, assuming she was eighteen, Ah Yin had only begun transforming twelve years before Tang Hao turned thirty-five—when Tang Hao was twenty-three.

In other words, Ah Yin still had several years before she transformed!

That was why Gu Ziyi said Ah Yin was far too distant from him.

Bibi Dong was still young as well.

He might as well seize Tang Yuehua, who had practically delivered herself to him.

With his connection to Tang Yuehua, joining the Haotian Sect later on would not be impossible. At that time, he could use the Haotian Sect's strength to seize the Immortal Herbs.

Of course, Gu Ziyi would only borrow the Haotian Sect's power if he could ensure that he held the initiative in obtaining the Immortal Herbs.

Otherwise, he would only use the Haotian Sect's resources to improve himself, then search for the Immortal Herbs on his own in the end.

Gu Ziyi did not know whether his Martial Soul Talisman truly was merely a support-type martial soul. If it was, joining a faction would definitely be the better choice.

Since he already had this connection with Tang Yuehua, the Haotian Sect was a rather good option.

The fact that he had helped Tang Yuehua solve her inability to cultivate was enough to secure his entry into the Haotian Sect.

Of course, the prerequisite was that the Haotian Sect could not learn of his relationship with Tang Yuehua for the time being.

Their relationship should not be exposed too early.

"Gu Ziyi, do you want to join our Haotian Sect?"

Tang Yuehua buried her head in Gu Ziyi's embrace again. As if their hearts were connected, once she had recovered, she brought up the matter to Gu Ziyi.

"Sure!"

Hearing Tang Yuehua's words, Gu Ziyi immediately agreed. Then he quickly asked, "But with my talent, would the Haotian Sect even want me?"

"Actually, there's something else I haven't told you. I'm the Haotian Sect Master's daughter!"

"You helped me solve my problem of being unable to cultivate. As long as I ask, Father will definitely agree." Tang Yuehua raised her head and told Gu Ziyi the surprising news with a smile.

"You're actually the Haotian Sect Master's daughter? No wonder your talent is so monstrous..." Gu Ziyi pretended to exclaim in amazement.

"Mm, but it would be best if we kept our relationship secret for now..." Tang Yuehua nodded, then spoke softly.

"I understand..."

Gu Ziyi immediately stroked Tang Yuehua's head and replied with a smile.

"Mm! Gu Ziyi, you're so good to me!"

Seeing that Gu Ziyi understood her meaning right away, Tang Yuehua smiled sweetly.

"Gu Ziyi, I want more..."

Then Tang Yuehua raised her head, gazing at Gu Ziyi with tender affection as her red lips parted slightly.

P.S.: A heads-up in advance—the protagonist will not join the Haotian Sect.
