25 Plans ahead

After defeating Xiao Luocheng, the Seven Sects had red faces and looked rather angry and embarrassment, and they immediately ran away as if they were scared that Yang Tian would challenge them next.

The ceremony was dispersed with Qin Wuyou thanking everyone else for attending.

After the ceremony, all the disciples were in an excellent mood as they started talking about how relaxed Yang Tian was while beating the disciples of the Seven Sects.

Before long, Lan Xueruo approached Yang Tian soon enough. It was as if she couldn't hold herself back any more…

"Umm… Senior Brother Yang… Can I come in?" She asked, a little shyly while asking Yang Tian to allow her to enter his room.

Yang Tian replied after a bit of time, "Yes."

"Senior Brother Yang… I was honestly astonished to see you defeat Xiao Luocheng. Moreover, it didn't even seem that you were using your full power." Lan Xueruo said while glancing at Yang Tian's face.

Yang Tian remained silent and let her finish her words.

Taking a deep breath to maybe gather her courage, Lan Xueruo asked Yang Tian, "Senior Brother Yang, would you be willing to come to the Blue Wind Empire with me? With your talent, joining the Blue Wind Profound Palace shouldn't be an issue…"

"Is that so?" Yang Tian indifferently said while looking at Lan Xueruo.

"And what does Junior Sister Lan gets out of this? After all, you wouldn't ask me to join the Blue Wind Profound Palace if it doesn't benefit you." He asked Lan Xueruo straight away.

Lan Xueruo visibly stifled as she heard his words. It seemed she expected him to ask it but wasn't prepared for him to be so straightforward about it.

"I only hope that you can participate in the next Blue Wind Ranking Tournament and attain a good rank for the Blue Wind Empire." Lan Xueruo said with a hint of expectation in her eyes.

Seeing that Yang Tian wasn't replying to her question, Lan Xueruo added, "The next Blue Wind Ranking Tournament will take place 3 and a half year later. If you join the Blue Wind Profound Palace right now, with the rich resources at the Blue Wind Profound Palace, you will definitely break through to the Spirit Profound Realm in 3 and a half year later. Maybe you will attain a good ranking in the Blue Wind Ranking Tournament as well."

She wanted to motivate him to join the Blue Wind Profound Palace while making sure to hide her own identity.

Yang Tian wanted to laugh a little as he saw Lan Xueruo speaking so much to 'recruit' him.

He internally thought 'I see… So that's why Lan Xueruo didn't want to take me to the Blue Wind Profound Palace earlier. One reason was to observe me, and another was because she believes that I shouldn't participate in the Blue Wind Ranking Tournament this time. She thinks I would have more of a chance next time…'

He then continued to think for some time before replying Lan Xueruo, "Junior Sister has indeed convinced me. Alright, I will leave for the Blue Wind Profound Palace. But… not now."

Just as Lan Xueruo was about to say something, Yang Tian added, "It's not that I don't want to go right now, it's just that I have to take care of an important matter."

Lan Xueruo looked into his reddish coloured eyes and felt that anything she said right now would probably be ignored.

She thought for some time before speaking, "Can I come with you? After you have solved the important matter, we can depart together. I have a contract beast… it will surely shorten the time it will take for us to reach the Blue Wind Imperial City."

Yang Tian thought for some time before nodding his head, "Alright. That is acceptable. Let's depart tomorrow…"

"Tomorrow? Alright… I will send a message to my family that I will be returning." With that, Lan Xueruo left his room.

After some time, Yang Tian went to Xia Yuanba's room.

He informed Yuanba that he would be leaving for the Blue Wind Imperial City. He didn't expect Yuanba to latch onto him and request him to come.

"I want to come with you too, Brother Tian! I am sick of being weak! I want to grow strong like you! Please, allow me to come with you." Yang Tian thought for some time and then said, "Alright, you should depart for the Blue Wind Empire today."

"After reaching the location, take a room or something and wait for me. Don't try to get into the Blue Wind Profound Palace… Wait for me to come, and the two of us can get into the Blue Wind Profound Palace together." Yang Tian made sure to strictly inform Xia Yuanba about this.

Xia Yuanba was already very happy that he could go to the Blue Wind Empire with Yang Tian and that he wouldn't have to split up. He eagerly nodded his head and said, "I will definitely wait for you, Brother Tian."

After leaving Xia Yuanba's room, Yang Tian let out a sigh while thinking 'It's a pity that his Tyrannical Emperor's Divine Veins are holding him back. He needs a strong mental blow to awaken the true power of those Profound Veins. Only then would he be able to become truly strong and take control of his own fate.'
