Humming sounds echoed!
The entire sky above the Tianji Sect shattered like a mirror!
Immediately after, a huge vortex appeared!
Emerging first was a hundred-foot flood dragon whose vital energy surged like a smelting furnace, compressing the surrounding void!
Right behind it, the figure riding the flood dragon materialized!
He wore brocaded silk and imperial robes embroidered with auspicious clouds!
His sharp-angled face was as cold and stern as a sculpture.
A pair of endlessly profound black eyes swirled with an inscrutable, hazy light.
He was peerlessly handsome yet radiated a trace of mysterious, captivating charm.
Gazing at this suddenly appearing, elegant young master, the female disciples of the Tianji Sect felt their heartbeats accelerate, and some even fainted outright!
The Tianji Sect ancestor took the lead in paying respects!
"Greetings, Young Master!"
"Greetings, Young Master!"
Every single member of the Tianji Sect bowed in salute!
At this moment, Di Tian looked calm as his gaze involuntarily drifted toward a particular figure!
This figure was a woman whose three thousand strands of dark hair coiled around a willow-slim waist that could be spanned with a single grip!
Her delicate face carried a trace of pallor, and as she stood there, her body seemed ready to collapse at any moment!
Such a sickly and frail woman naturally made people want to take her into their arms and properly comfort her!
"No need for formalities!"
His voice brushed across the hearts of everyone like a spring breeze, making them all feel instantly relaxed!
The pressure exerted by that flood dragon just moments ago had been simply too immense!
Yet it was now smoothed away by a single sentence from Di Tian!
Di Tian descended from the void!
The Tianji Sect ancestor beamed with a full face of smiles!
"Young Master, a banquet has already been prepared. Please take your seat, Young Master!"
"I shall defer to the host. Senior, please go first!"
Hearing Di Tian's words, the Tianji Sect ancestor felt immense respect, deciding that serving the Di Family for his entire life had truly been worth it!
Han Ruoxi watched Di Tian, light likewise flickering within her eyes!
This young master from the upper realm possessed an elevated demeanor, devoid of the overbearing arrogance typical of upper-realm people!
He gave one the feeling of a gentle spring breeze, though she wondered how his strength might be.
Feeling the gaze from behind him, Di Tian turned his head for a quick glance!
His gaze happened to lock directly with Han Ruoxi's!
Han Ruoxi's face flushed red as she lowered her head!
A smile surfaced at the corner of Di Tian's mouth!
Upon seeing this, the Tianji Sect Master wore a thoughtful expression before a look of excitement emerged!
After everyone took their seats!
"Ruoxi, the Young Master has no one to attend to him. You should go and serve the Young Master for now!"
The Tianji Sect Master abruptly spoke up with this instruction!
Han Ruoxi started slightly, her face turning somewhat red!
"No need!"
Di Tian suddenly uttered.
Seeing that Di Tian turned a blind eye to her beauty, Han Ruoxi felt a trace of doubt rise in her heart. She well knew that throughout the entire Canglan Realm, she was renowned as a great beauty!
Yet she had been ignored by Di Tian!
Weren't you just looking at her a moment ago?
Men really were all just heartless swine!
Thinking of this, Han Ruoxi proactively stood up, seated herself right beside Di Tian, and began waiting upon him!
Observing Han Ruoxi's actions, the people in the grand hall all wore subtle smiles of tacit understanding, silently giving their Sect Master a mental thumbs-up!
"Young Master, what brings you down to the lower realm this time?"
"Idle with nothing to do, strolling through the four directions!"
Hearing Di Tian's response, these people all nodded.
Regardless of what status this young master held within the Divine Domain's Di Family, he was simply not someone they could afford to provoke!
Nor were Di Tian's affairs things they were qualified to inquire about!
For a moment, the atmosphere actually grew somewhat awkward!
Right at that instant, the sound of footsteps rang out!
"What is going on?"
The Tianji Sect Master demanded, a trace of displeasure flashing through his eyes!
Didn't he realize they were entertaining distinguished guests?
A young disciple stepped forward, bowed, and saluted!
"Master, it's Lin Chen, just returning from grinding outside!"
Hearing Zhao Lei's words, the Tianji Sect Master scanned the surroundings and failed to spot Lin Chen, a flash of anger igniting in his eyes!
"If he returns late, he shouldn't bother coming in! Does he not know we are entertaining the upper-realm Young Master today? He was notified long ago, yet he still dawdles and arrives late. Does this mean he completely disregards the Tianji Sect's rules?"
"Precisely, exactly! Relying on that bit of credit left behind by his master before death, all these years he has continuously failed to take the Tianji Sect seriously!"
"If you ask me, we should just chase him out to save him from ruining our Tianji Sect's reputation!"
The people inside the grand hall chimed in one after another, clearly harboring deep resentment toward the person named Lin Chen!
Seated upon the high platform, Di Tian lightly sipped his tea, adopting a detached attitude of having nothing to do with him and watching from the sidelines.
If only the Han Ruoxi sitting right beside him would stop periodically stealing glances at him, it would be even better!
However, Di Tian was well aware that the Han Ruoxi before him played a major role!
The moment he first laid eyes on Han Ruoxi, the system's prompt had informed him!
This is a destiny heroine!
Di Tian guessed that the previously slaughtered Chu Fan and Xiao Feng must have merely been transitional stepping stones!
The Sons of Destiny he would face next would only grow increasingly powerful!
System, why is Ye Liuli's destiny value so low?
Observing Han Ruoxi—merely a destiny heroine whose destiny value already reached a thousand—Di Tian reasoned that Ye Liuli, an esteemed daughter of the Divine Domain's Ye Family who had made a heaven-defying return with the Supreme Bone, should have a vastly higher destiny value!
[Ye Liuli's Supreme Bone has regrown but has yet to complete its full awakening, which is why her destiny value appears so depressed. Her true destiny value is at least ten thousand!]
Hearing the system's explanation, Di Tian paused slightly!
It seemed that Chu Fan, whom he had previously executed, must have simply been a simp Son of Destiny!
Ye Liuli simply hadn't crossed paths with her true Son of Destiny yet!
He only wondered if that Son of Destiny would go completely mad upon learning that he had been cuckolded!
At this thought, a trace of an evil, charming curve tugged at the corner of Di Tian's mouth!
Seeing this, Han Ruoxi felt her heartbeat involuntarily accelerate!
He really is drop-dead gorgeous, just like a True Immortal!
Watching the people in the grand hall still lambasting the fellow named Lin Chen, Di Tian took a calm sip of tea!
"Let him enter. No doubt he had some unavoidable difficulties."
As Di Tian's words fell, the noise in the grand hall ceased abruptly, as though hit by a pause button!
The Tianji Sect ancestor spoke up!
"The Young Master is truly magnanimous. We were the ones lacking breadth of mind, making a fool of ourselves before the Young Master!"
"No matter!"
"Let him enter."
Since Di Tian himself had spoken, how could anyone in the Tianji Sect dare to disobey!
Moments later, a figure walked in from outside, completely calm and unruffled!
He wore a blue training suit, sweat glistening on his forehead, while the vital energy within his body rolled like a flood dragon!
Even when facing everyone in the grand hall, he held his head level!
Radiating an air of neither servility nor arrogance!
"Greetings, Ancestor, Sect Master, esteemed elders, senior and junior martial brothers!"
The moment Lin Chen stepped inside!
Zhao Lei stepped forward and challenged Lin Chen!
"Lin Chen! Why haven't you paid your respects to the Young Master? If the Young Master hadn't spoken up just now, you wouldn't even have the qualifications to step through this door!"
Lin Chen ignored Zhao Lei's blustering and cast his gaze toward the high platform!
His originally tranquil expression was suddenly pierced by a flash of anger within his eyes!
Di Tian looked at Lin Chen, then at Han Ruoxi, and a smile blossomed at the corner of his mouth!
