Chapter 14
Itachi returned to the hotel he was staying at, and upon entering his room he spotted Chu Yueli waiting for him. Beside her was a shy-looking boy.
"That must be the girl she went to recruit." He thought.
Chu Yueli looked Itachi over from top to bottom and realizing that he was fine and looked stronger she breathed a sigh of relief. She couldn't imagine what would happen to her should this boy get hurt.
"Luckily nothing happened... Wait what happened to his cultivation?!" Chu Yueli thought in despair as she realized that Itachi no longer had any trace of being in the Profound Elementary Realm.
Disappearing and reappearing in front of Itachi, she stretched out her slender arm and held Itachi's wrist checking if there was anything wrong with his body, but as she did so, she realized that he was healthy, even his profound veins seemed even more powerful.
"What happened?" Chu Yueli asked with her icy voice.
Knowing that she was asking about his cultivation Itachi decided to tell a half-truth.
"I undid my cultivation to make a perfect base before entering the Profound Elemental Realm again." He said.
Chu Yueli looked at Itachi strangely, she didn't know if she should believe the words of this little 4 year old boy. But seeing that he seemed fine, she didn't question him anymore, that wasn't her role and it was his mother's. All she had to do was make sure he was safe and living well.
"Anyway, we are going back to the sect today. I need to report a lot of things to the Sect Leader." Chu Yueli said earning Itachi's nod.
He felt that there was no longer any reason to stay in this city, and that was mainly because his restlessness was over after he got his inheritance.
"Then let's go."
...
The way back to the Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace was smooth and quick. Thanks to Little White it didn't take them more than a few hours to arrive in front of the sect gates.
"I still prefer the atmosphere of the sect." Chu Yueli commented.
The girl standing next to Chu Yueli seemed a bit restrained. Itachi felt that this was due to her being an ordinary person until a while ago. From what he knew of Chu Yueli. This girl was a servant who served a tyrannical clan that killed her mother, and just by chance Chu Yueli felt that this girl had the potential to be nurtured by the sect.
Itachi felt that sometimes fate was strictly related to luck.
"She changed her life forever just due to chance. I wonder how many people in her same situation are not already dead..." Itachi thought.
This world and the shinobi world were extremely similar in that respect.
Being born into a clan in the shinobi world would guarantee that you could learn jutsus that ordinary people would never dream of learning, in addition many clans in the shinobi world had powerful techniques and lineages, the biggest example being the Uchiha clan. And in this world it was no different.
Itachi himself felt that he was privileged to be born the son of a woman who is precisely the leader of the second most powerful sect in this empire.
...
Itachi separated from Chu Yueli after they entered the sect, that was because Chu Yueli was going to report sect related things to his mother, so since he had no interests in those things he decided to go to his room.
But just as he was about to enter his room, he spotted one of the sect disciples waiting at the door of his room.
"The Sect Leader asks to see you." The girl said in a cold tone with no room for refusal.
Looking at the girl leaving without looking back after saying those words, Itachi knew he would have to follow her.
...
In the sect meeting room were gathered all the sect elders and also the seven fairy members. They were discussing the expansion of the sect and also about future alliances with other sects.
"I feel that an alliance with the Heavenly Sword Villa is a good one for us." One of the elders said quietly.
The other elders nodded their heads as if agreeing with this line.
Gong Yuxian had a huge headache dealing with this group of elders. She knew why they were bringing up this topic again.
Long Xiao, he was the reason. A man should not remain in this sect, that was the opinion of these elders. Even if no female disciples cared, these backward elders still feel it is an affront to the ancestors.
Of course, no elder had the courage to tell Gong Yuxian to expel her son from the sect, they knew that if they did so their heads would most likely be cut off. It was then that they came to a conclusion.
If we can't expel him, then we should get him to join another sect. This would not only get rid of a problem but also bring benefits to the sect, such as a possible alliance with another great sect in the empire.
Gong Yuxian found all this funny, she had already told about Itachi's talent to this group of elders, even many of these elders had personally seen their son's terrifying talent, but here were this group of old women trying to send their son to another sect.
"Sect Leader, think about it, if we send Long Xiao to Heavenly Sword Villa, not only will he be able to cultivate properly in a powerful sect, he will also strengthen our sect. Your son is a genius, so the chances of him taking over as the Leader of Heavenly Sword Villa in the future is high, and with our support he will have no competitors." An elderly woman stepped forward and said.
Not letting Gong Yuxian speak, another elder stepped forward and said, "I agree with the elder, moreover our sect's techniques cannot be cultivated by men, so sending Long Xiao to Heavenly Sword Villa will be of great use to her son in the future, who will be able to cultivate powerful techniques."
Gong Yuxian was already losing patience, she felt that if one more elder stepped forward to say something about sending her son away, she would cut the person's head off.
"I think it might be a good idea."
A quiet and somewhat childish voice sounded in the meeting hall making the eyes of all the people present turn to the entrance.
At the entrance a little boy who appeared to be in his four years was walking slowly while having a stoic face.
"Mom." He said as he bowed slightly to the woman sitting at the top.
"Long'er..." Gong Yuxian said in a slightly sad voice as she realized that her son looked more stoic than before he left on that trip.
