And after Lan Dingtian left, the respectful aura from Bei Buxiu instantly vanished.

A touch of smugness appeared deep in his eyes, along with a sense of anticipation.

"Master! If one day you truly pass the position of Sect Master to me, I will ensure you live peacefully in your later years." Bei Buxiu murmured to himself. He is Bei Buxiu, the son of the Qingyi Sect Master, after all!

This identity is unchangeable.

Although the Qingyi Sect is not comparable to Yanxu Palace, it is still a First-Order Power.

In fact, Lan Dingtian was somewhat torn because of Bei Buxiu's identity; his position is truly precarious. Should the title of Heavenly Sect Master fall into Bei Buxiu's hands, and he directly betrays, it equates to the entire Yanxu Palace merging with the Qingyi Sect, being devoured.

Yet, Bei Buxiu is certainly exceptional to the extreme.

Thus, Lan Dingtian is somewhat conflicted.

Bei Buxiu naturally knows of Lan Dingtian's inner turmoil.

So lately, apart from cultivating, whenever he has a bit of spare time, he spends it on pursuing a woman.

Once he wins over this woman, Lan Dingtian will have no hesitation about passing the title to him because of Bei Buxiu's identity.

This woman is named Lan Ge.

She is ranked number one among the three Young Palace Masters of Yanxu Palace, and she is also Lan Dingtian's only daughter.

Lan Ge is extremely outstanding; otherwise, she wouldn't be ranked first among the three Young Palace Masters. While Lan Ge is a woman, Lan Dingtian prefers the sect title to be passed to a man, hence his uncertainty. Otherwise...

Moreover, Lan Ge herself is not very interested in the position of Sect Master; she prefers to focus on cultivation.

Bei Buxiu is well aware that his current status as the son of the Qingyi Sect Master has put both Lan Dingtian and the high ranks of Yanxu Palace in a state of caution regarding him. To smooth over this caution, the best method is to become Lan Dingtian's son-in-law, meaning to marry Lan Ge.

Therefore, Bei Buxiu is determined to win over Lan Ge.

Previously, Lan Ge was always in Secluded Cultivation, giving him no opportunity, but finally half a month ago, Lan Ge finished her cultivation.

Over this half month, he has sought out Lan Ge three times already, gifting her treasures, and accompanying her on outings to Purple Feather City.

Though Lan Ge does not reject him, she doesn't seem to have special fondness for him either. As a result, they seem only halfway friends at best.

Lan Ge is so cold—not the icy, indifferent type—but amiable with a smile. Yet, despite the smile, there's an air of distance.

Lan Ge is difficult to pursue, truly difficult.

Yet Bei Buxiu cannot give up, as this is his best chance at obtaining the title of Sect Master at Yanxu Palace.

Thinking of this, Bei Buxiu arrives at 'Lan Xian Pavilion'. This is Lan Ge's living quarters, although she seldom resides here. These days, however, she is indeed here.

"Knock knock knock..." Entering Lan Xian Pavilion, he is not stopped by Lan Ge's maid. Standing at the door of Lan Ge's room, Bei Buxiu gently knocks: "Miss Lan."

"Bei Buxiu?" A light yet calm voice answers from inside the room, causing Bei Buxiu to feel somewhat defeated. It was Lan Ge's calm demeanor towards him that left him feeling defeated—such calmness indicates that Lan Ge has no affection for him.

However, fortunately, he does have some advantage. At least, now Lan Ge considers him half a friend, and others in Yanxu Palace would find it difficult even to become half a friend of hers, wouldn't they?

Lan Dingtian must have mentioned to his daughter Lan Ge about wanting to facilitate a union between them; he hopes Bei Buxiu could become his son-in-law. That's an advantage.

With these advantages, given time, there's the chance to eventually win her heart, right?

Furthermore, aside from ambition, Bei Buxiu has genuinely developed feelings during his interactions with Lan Ge over the past few meetings.

Lan Ge's beauty speaks for itself; she is top-tier and comparable to figures like Woe Lingyun.

Additionally, she possesses a unique lively charm, making conversations with her feel relaxed—as though enjoying a fragrant tea that instantly comforts and calms.

Lan Ge's strength is also immensely strong. At just over three hundred years, she is already at the Fourth Level Realm of the Broken Eternal Realm, with a talent for martial cultivation that's indescribably formidable.

Lingji Pavilion has not ranked the List of Exceptional People in the Yan Cang Domain. If they did, like the rankings in the Black God Mountain Region, Lan Ge would likely be in the top three.

Among the other Young Palace Masters, Lan Ge surpasses Yuan Tianyan by an unknown measure. Though, since returning from the Thunder Spirit Ruins, Yuan Tianyan's progress has been explosive, and acquiring a Tianzi Secret Realm, who can say to what level Yuan Tianyan will reach upon reemerging from Secluded Cultivation; perhaps catching up to Lan Ge isn't impossible.

But regardless, Lan Ge's talent, strength, appearance, and charm are all top-level—likely unmatched by other women across War Ancient Sky—and besides, she stands as Yanxu Palace's Little Princess, her background is immense.

Thus, she matches him, Bei Buxiu.

The most crucial reason is that Bei Buxiu has never applied himself to any woman as he has here, despite lacking any response and seeing no hope, it stirs his urge to conquer.

Considering all this, Bei Buxiu truly has feelings for Lan Ge, surpassing those he holds for Lin Yanran; at times over the past half month, even during cultivation, he can't help but think of Lan Ge.

"Miss Lan, shall we take a stroll around Purple Feather City?" Bei Buxiu asked, deliberately avoiding sounding overly eager.

"Not this time. I must make a trip to Talent Mountain."

"Talent Mountain?" Bei Buxiu was taken aback. Talent Mountain is the largest mountain range in Yan Cang Domain, akin to the stature of the Hundred Thousand Mountains in the Black God Mountain Region.

"I'm about to make a breakthrough and plan to go to Talent Mountain to seek opportunities." Lan Ge added, though Talent Mountain harbors many dangers, it also holds vast opportunities, making it a primary choice for many martial cultivators in Yan Cang Domain for training.

Bei Buxiu instinctively wanted to offer to accompany her, yet he held back, remembering Su Chen. He needed to continue diligently practicing in the academy, not having time to accompany Lan Ge to Talent Mountain.

And furthermore, not ignoring the risks of Talent Mountain. If something were to happen to him there, it would be problematic to meet Su Chen in prime condition, for once Su Chen emerges from Secluded Cultivation, he shall have his revenge!

Nothing is more important than revenge.

He can only relinquish accompanying Lan Ge to Talent Mountain.

"Then... then I'll return first. Miss Lan, take care, and when you return, we'll visit Purple Feather City together." With that, Bei Buxiu sighed and departed.
