14 Secrets and Lies

Tian just shrugged simply, " Explain what?"

His reply annoyed her further " Master Tian please don't play with me. You know what I mean."

" Why ? Do you feel guilty now ?" He knew what she was feeling or atleast what she wanted him to think she was feeling.

She flinched at his words, " I did feel a little guilty at first but now that I think about it there's nothing wrong in what I did. I can't just trust any Unknown person and tell him my secrets."

She thought it all over and there was really not any reason to feel guilty. Even if she used some tricks , she had to do it because it was about her Master's life .

" I'm not talking about that, it seems like you still don't understand." He stood up, he can tell that she didn't understand anything. He never paid attention to her lying to him.

How can someone trust an unknown person so easily? She's correct. But what he wanted her realise was something different from the beginning.

He went next to Little Red and gently rubbed her head, she enjoyed it . Even though she was thousands of year of old, Flood-dragons were a branch lineage of dragons afterall. Their lifespan was in millions so she thousands year was still child and matured.

Lin Yingmei was confused this time from his words, ' if not this then what?'

Tian pointed his finger at Little Red and a small ball of light came out which went to her head and dispersed.

" This is a Core technique for Beast transformation, it'll help you mask your beast aura too. Go take your human form and follow this girl."

Little Red circulated the technique and her body was enveloped in a curtain of light. The light morphed and changed shape from a huge beast to a humanoid shape. When the light dispersed, there was a little girl of about 13 years old standing. Petite body with red curly hairs and cute face.

" Master , the spiritual vein? " She said cutely pointing at the Plum tree . The tree was a node for the spiritual vein .

Tian waved his hand and the group shook, cracks appeared all over the place. There was dense spiritual qi coming from below , the Plum tree was glowing like a bright star.

By the time everything was normal the tree was gone and he was holding a Pill shaped ball of light which was pulsating and distorting the vein.

Lin Yingmei was shocked again " This is the origin qi of spiritual vein!! You took it out? Are you mad?!"

She didn't ask how he did that because she was shocked he would something so crazy, taking out the origin qi of spiritual vein, now the spiritual vein was nothing but waste.

He ignored her and gave it to Little Red, " Eat this " he said a simple word.

" She'll die if she eat this! " Lin Yingmei thought that this guy was really crazy now. He did whatever he wanted without thinking ahead.

Little Red believed Tian more because she Tian has shown her more oh him than to Lin Yingmei so she wasn't worried.

She swallowed in one go, the dense qi made her like there was a ocean raging inside her which could make her body explode anytime!

But Tian was there it was not nothing to worried about, he touched her stomach which was the place for her Dantian.

" Seal " one word and the ocean claimed down like his words were the laws itself.

There was a small sigil over her stomach, it was the seal mark which locked the origin qi in her Dantian, allowing only a little to leak so she could refine it slowly on her own.

He turned to Lin Yingmei, " Hmm, even though you didn't realise what I really wanted you can be considered somewhat decent Cultivator, take little Red with you. And you can't tell anyone about her real identity, help her until she can fully digest the origin qi. Don't treat her as your pet you understand?"

" Follow big sister for now, I'll come back to check on you." He gently rubbed Little red's head , she nodded softly.

Satisfied Tian turned around and took a step, that step crossed space-time and took him in a different World.

Lin Yingmei was left dumbfounded there staring at the place he just disappeared.

She gave a wry smile and took out a dress from her space ring and gave it to Little Red, " It's a bit long for you but you can just cut the extra part and wear it. And your name is not that good, how about I give you a new name?"

Little Red took the dress and shook her head, " No, Master has given me this name. I don't want to change it."

" Fine, if you don't want then leave it."

After she was done changing, Lin Yingmei wanted to go back the way she came from but Little Red just took her hand and teleported simply.

They were already outside of Thousand-Beast-Valley, Lin Yingmei realised that this little girl was actually a Mahayana Realm expert herself!!

" What level you're at Little Red? " She asked nervously.

" Hmm, I think peak-stage Mahayana Realm?" She said while tilting her head which gave her a cute look. But her words weren't cute at all!!

" Even the Sect Master is only at mid-stage Mahayana Realm! , How will I explain all this to Master now?" With a troubled heart she went back to her sect.

—

All of this was being watched by Qin Wanyu and Shen Ziyen and their expressions were not good.

" Master , that little girl is at peak-stage Mahayana Realm, and she'll be in Jade Lotus Sect now. It's not a good news for us."

A powerful ally for orthodox sect was a dangerous enemy for them.

" I know, but i don't understand what Master Tian is planning by letting her follow Lin Yingmei." Qin Wanyu had a slight frown on her face.

" Master I think he's doing this to get back at us because you rejected him first. That's why he became the teacher of Zhao Li knowing that we have a feud with them and now this. " Shen Ziyen said from side.

" Get back to us? Are you stupid? He doesn't even care about us , if he wanted to get back at us he wouldn't bother doing so in such a roundabout manner." Qin Wanyu thought differently, this might look simple but she didn't believe that someone as strong as him would use such petty things for such a simple refusal.

" He must be planning something else, or maybe we're just overthinking and he's doing what he wants simply, we can't say for sure." She was feeling helpless by his actions

" Master, he even gave the Yin-Lotus to her, doens't he need it himself?" Shen Ziyen didn't want to believe that nothing was going on.

" Yin-Lotus? Hah, he never cared about that. I doubt if his Soul injury is even real!"

As soon as she said that, there were cracks on the Truth seeking orb and it split in two.

"...this, what happened?" Shen Ziyen was shocked. Does a Divine artifact breaks on its on own just like that?!!

Qin Wanyu was silent for a while then she asked Shem Ziyen to go back and Cultivate in her room.

" But Master, what about this-" " Just do what I say." Qin Wanyu said in a firm this time leaving no room for argument so she could only leave .

After she was gone, Qin Wanyu took out her Jade token, " I want all the information on a guy name Tian, the one I told you about earlier."

"Miss Qin, what are you talking about? Whem did you ask about any Tian guy? Hmm, should I look into him?" That was the reply she got from other side which made a little scared.

" No, forget about it. It's nothing "

' Just who's this guy I have messed up with!! '

By now she knew that Tian wasn't someone she could handle herself. Even his identity was suspicious and his means were more scary.

' Whoever he is, I shouldn't think about using him anymore, that's just seeking death, he's not a normal person.'

She gave up thinking about him anymore and just went back to Cultivation but she couldn't even focus.

" Looks like you have scared that girl" Ren was still in her comfy position as Tian and her were walking in a city.

" It's okay, if this much is enough to scare her then she's just weak. I don't have time to waste on her." Tian was strolling in the streets of market while trying different delicacies from stalls.

" Hmm, what about that little bird?" Ren took a bit from an apple candy he offered her and licked his fingers clean too.

The little bird she was talking about wasn't Little Red but, " She's covering her true identity by using Innate Dao bones as excuse, that's a nice idea if I must say. Well even she doesn't know that her Sect master already knows her true identity, hahah. What a good pair of Master-disciple, both are lying to each other." Clearly they were talking about Lin Yingmei and her master, by their words it seems their identity wasn't as normal as Holy Maiden and Sect Master of Jade Lotus Sect.

" Hmph! trying to deceive you. That little bird should know her place!!" Ren was not happy with her , she couldn't help these innocent acting girls.

" It's okay, we all have our secrets we keep from others don't we?" He said while smiling at Ren. She gave a snort and went back to her dreamworld.
