“How mighty! Is the person on top of the bird Xuan Sky Sect’s Sect Leader?” Yang Dingtian asked.

“Sect leader? He is merely a disciple clearing the path, riding the bird ahead to warn the boats in front against blocking Xuan Sky Sect’s way,” Ximen Wuya answered.

“This, this is too overbearing,” Yang Dingtian said.

“Yes, it is extremely overbearing!” Ximen Wuya replied coldly.

That wasn’t all. Yang Dingtian realized that all the boats on the sea had not only opened a pathway for them but had also all stopped, lining up on two different sides as if waiting for Xuan Sky Sect’s inspection. It was to the extent where the boats that were about to reach the dock immediately turned around to line up on either side of the cleared pathway. The entire bustling harbor was instantly cleared as everyone waited for Xuan Sky Sect’s ship to pull in to shore.

Even the noisy and clamorous sea surface quieted down.

Finally, after a few hours, when Yang Dingtian’s eyes were already strained from looking, only then did Xuan Sky Sect’s ship arrive.

There were exactly ten gigantic ships, each and every one of which were snow-white, classy, and overbearing like cranes standing among chickens.

When the snow-white gigantic ships passed by, every boat had their troops standing in line and waved their flags as a sign of respect. However, Xuan Sky Sect’s snow-white ships did not return any greetings. Each gigantic ship had one disciple clad in white who stared at the boats on both sides coldly.

Cloud Sky City’s ship also sent some of its people to wave the flag and give greetings, but not everyone on the deck stood in line. Seeing this, a disciple clad in white on one of Xuan Sky Sect’s ship gave them a cold glare.

Ximen Wuya averted his gaze and even got his people to stop waving their flag. Although this Cloud Sky City Lord was gentle, he was still noble and arrogant deep down.

When one of the Xuan Sky Sect’s disciple saw Cloud Sky City’s response, his face turned cold, and he quickly went down into the ship to report. Ximen Wuya only laughed.

“Godfather, when we act like this, I’m afraid that Xuan Sky Sect will even humiliate us even more during the feast,” Ximen Yan said softly.

“It’s okay. Being humiliated by a few words does no harm,” Ximen Wuya replied coldly. “Xuan Sky Sect is overbearing, but apart from words, how else can they harm me, Ximen Wuya?”

Though he sounded very calm, he was actually very overbearing. Instantly, Ximen Yan’s eyes filled with respect. Even Yang Dingtian could not help but admit his admiration. Ximen Wuya was warm and respectful towards the weak, but he didn’t bow to those who were strong. He had the demeanor of a true expert.

After over an hour, Xuan Sky Sect’s ships had left the rest far behind as they headed to shore. Only then did the other boats begin to move.

“Child, we are about to part ways.” In the room where Yang Dingtian stayed, Ximen Wuya spoke, “Once you enter the Yin Yang Sect, the distance between us would increase by ten thousand miles. But, judging from your talent, I believe that I’ll soon be hearing about your legendary exploits after I return to Cloud Sky City.”

“However, I still want to ask you one last question. I would like to betroth Yanyan to you and make you the next Lord of Cloud Sky City. Are you willing to accept my offer?”

“Bang….” It sounded as if someone outside of the door had dropped something. Ximen Wuya ignored it and continued, “I will try my best to train you. I’ll repeat what I said previously. What the Yin Yang Sect is capable of giving you, it’s not impossible for me to also give you.”

“Daddy, I don’t want….” Ximen Yanyan’s terrified and furious voice came from outside before the beautiful fiery-red girl rushed in.

“Get out…” Ximen Wuya admonished strictly.

Instantly, a strong energy pushed Ximen Yanyan’s body a few meters away back and out of the room. Then, the door was immediately closed.

Ximen Wuya looked at Yang Dingtian with a hopeful gaze, waiting for his final answer.

Yang Dingtian’s heart was a mess and not because he didn’t know how to answer. He had already made his decision since the beginning. But, facing Ximen Wuya’s warm and hopeful eyes, he couldn’t bear to reject him.

He admired Ximen Wuya. Ximen Yanyan was also fairly attractive, and her character was even somewhat similar to that of Yang Dingtian’s girlfriend on Earth. Both were fiery and wild girls, but Li Bijun was much more mature and braver, while Ximen Yanyan was wild but naive.

“I’m so sorry, Ximen City Lord, I can’t agree to your proposal.” Yang Dingtian gave him a full 90-degree bow.

“Hmm…” Instantly, Ximen Yanyan’s angry sigh was heard from outside.

“Aih…..” Ximen Wuya sighed again, saying, “I knew that this would be your answer, but I’m still not satisfied.”

Then, Ximen Wuya touched Yang Dingtian’s head and said, “Good child, I believe that you will be able to shine in the Yin Yang Sect. When we meet again in the future, remember to show me some mercy….”

Yang Dingtian was somewhat embarrassed. “You are so powerful. How can I be your opponent? Furthermore, I respect you so much. How could I harm you?”

“Haha…..No one can be sure of what the future will be like,” Ximen Wuya replied.

“Child, I will not force you to reveal your secrets, but I believe that you didn’t travel tens of thousands of miles to the Yin Yang Sect just to join it. You must have something more important to do. However, the Yin Yang Sect will be extremely busy for a period of time so you won’t be able to meet the important people in the sect. Even I probably won’t be able to get through the door. Now, do you have any plans for your next step?”

Although Yang Dingtian had some ideas, he still shook his head. He truly had no background at all. At first, he simply thought he would just find the Yin Yang Sect Master’s wife and pass her the flame accessory. But now, he thought that plan was too naïve. Relying on just himself, not to mention meeting his master’s wife, he couldn’t even get through the gates. He definitely couldn’t show the flame accessory to some random Yin Yang Sect disciple, tell them that it was the token of love that the Yin Yang Sect Head had given his wife, and that he was the only disciple of the Sect Head, the future Sect Head, and then ask to get in.

That way, Yang Dingtian would surely be beaten half to death. On top of that, his master Dongfang Niemie had warned him against disclosing his identity to anyone except for the master’s wife and his daughter. Most importantly, news of his master was a great secret, and Yang Dingtian couldn’t let anyone know apart from his master’s wife.

“But, I truly have something important to do. I need to hurry and enter the Yin Yang Sect. I need to meet their more important people,” Yang Dingtian said cautiously.

“If you going in like that, I can confirm that you won’t even be able to pass through the gate, much less meet anyone important. At first, I would have brought you in with me, but you saw how awkward and special the position of our Cloud Sky City was. You will be part of the Yin Yang Sect in the future. My bringing you in will not only not help but could even harm you.”

“I’ve given your problem some thought. One thing you can do is offer a gift at the Yin Yang Sect’s main gate using the identity of a wandering martial artist. However, there are tens of thousands of people offering gifts, which is why your gift could be thrown aside after a few hours. Hence, you must offer something that is extremely important. Only then will you be able to get the attention of the important people in the Yin Yang Sect.”

Ximen Wuya took out a fiery red jade pendant from his sleeves and passed it to Yang Dingtian. “This is the ‘Li Fire Nine Loop Pendant.’ This item is extremely well known. It is the personal belonging of the Yin Yang Sect’s third generation Lord that had gone missing. The sect has already announced to the world that anyone who is able to return this ‘Li Fire Nine Loop Pendant’ would be granted almost any request. You could ask for any kind of weapon, bomb, or valuable item. You could also enter the Yin Yang Sect for whatever reason.”

“Hence, you only need to give them this ‘Li Fire Nine Loop Pendant.’ Even the master of the Yin Yang Sect will personally meet you because this item belonged to his ancestor.” Ximen Wuya casually brushed the ‘Leave Fire Nine Loop pendant” and passed it to Yang Dingtian.

“You cannot give it to him, daddy. This pendant is your favorite. You’ve worn it for several dozen years.” Ximen Yanyan had rushed in again.

“Get out……” Ximen Wuya flicked his sleeve, and Ximen Yanyan’s entire body was pushed out again.

“Ximen City Lord, this thing is too precious. I cannot take it.” Yang Dingtian quickly returned the fire-like jade pendant.

“Take it. This thing is only an ordinary toy to me. Keeping it brings no benefit to anyone. It just so happens to be very useful for you.,” Ximen Wuya insisted.

Yang Dingtian still didn’t dare receive it.

Ximen Wuya’s scrunched his eyebrows and said, “Take it when I tell you to take it. There’s no need to be so small-minded. Otherwise, I will look down on you.”

“Ximen City Lord, thank you for your kindness. I will definitely repay you in the future.”

Yang Dingtian could only accept this “Li Fire Nine Loop pendant” and gave Ximen Wuya a 90-degree bow. This item could really help him get a meeting with his master’s wife.

Ximen Wuya waved his hands and procured a bag of gold coins for Yang Dingtian. “Take this money. It will also more or less help you.”

“Yes!” Yang Dingtian accepted the bag of gold coins immediately.

“Okay, you should go up now. There is a small boat waiting for you outside.” Ximen Wuya waved his hands.

Yang Dingtian didn’t say anything. He bowed again, turned, and left.

“Wait…” Ximen Wuya took out a thin book from his sleeves and passed it to Yang Dingtian. “This book”The Art of the Birth of Yang”was written by a few generations of Cloud Sky City Lords. It is not any high-class martial art treasure, but it teaches the basics of manipulating Energy throughout your body. It is one level higher than”The Art of Heaven and Earth”. Practicing this art when you practice your Energy can help you achieve twice the results with half the effort. In addition, it won’t conflict with the Yin Yang Sect’s martial art.”

Yang Dingtian’s hands were practically shaking as he reached out to receive this manual. Although it was very light, to Yang Dingtian, it seemed to weigh a thousand pounds. Having refused Ximen Wuya’s well-intentioned offer to marry his daughter twice, Yang Dingtian was still shown such great favor and charity. Such a deep kindness practically brought Yang Dingtian to tears.

“Great favors do not need words to express gratitude.” Yang Dingtian deeply bowed again, turned, and left the room.

Outside, the extremely beautiful Ximen Yanyan was standing by the door, staring at Yang Dingtian with her huge pretty eyes. She saw the things he had in his hands and mocked, ” So shameless. You really accepted what my daddy gave you.”

After hearing that, Yang Dingtian wasn’t angry, but he nodded and said, “Ms. Ximen, take care.”
