Ch-32: Golden days
Meanwhile,
( The Sect Master was rushed to his chamber for medical reasons. )
In the quiet aftermath of the great turmoil, Sect Master and Ji Mai sought solace in a secluded corner of the Supreme Grand Sect, The air was hefty with the residue of powerful energy, and the injury and scars of the recent battle illustrated sect master's tired and injured figure.
Sect Master, nursing his own wounds, turned his gaze to Ji Mai with a mix of concern and weariness, "Ji Mai! My daughter, that was an intense confrontation and I believe, the enemies, I created during my glory days would seek vengeance during these time... " he spoke his heart, about the worries he had right now.
His sect was at its lowest point because two powerful figures were incapable of protecting the sect, Mang Lao was dead and he (Sect-Master ) was greatly injured.
There are also, some black sheep in the sect who are ready to backstab at any moment, the only one who can fight is probably the Garlic Elder and Holy Envoy but the sect master didn't count the Holy Envoy.
The Sect master once again spoke with a soft voice mixed with confusion "What unfolded during Mang Lao's demise? It felt as if the heavens themselves intervened and Killed Mang Lao, protecting our sect from grave danger"
...
Ji Mai took a deep breath before responding, "Father, it was Li Bai, the Holy Envoy. He somehow manipulated the Divine forces, triggering a second and more powerful lightning tribulation for Mang Lao. "
Hearing this, Sect Master's eyes widened in disbelief. " Holy Envoy? Are you serious? Did he control Divine judgement? " he was having a hard time digesting the fact.
"He didn't offer a clear explanation," Ji Mai explained, her voice carrying a note of uncertainty and confusion, "He merely stated that Mang Lao would meet his end very soon, and right after he said it, Another lightning tribulation occurred instantly sending Mang Lao to shadow realm. "
" Hmm! " The Sect Master nodded, " If I recall correctly, the phenomena which Holy Envoy seek is already opened, accompany him there and leave with him wherever he takes you, this place isn't safe for you " The Sect Master spoke with a heavy heart as he doesn't want his talented daughter to pay for his sins.
The sect master was a cunning person, a few days ago, when the Holy Envoy descended into this realm, the Sect master realised He was looking for " the phenomena " which is a secret of his sect.
Knowing the pros and cons, he lied to the holy envoy and made him stay in his sect thinking he could milk him and suck him dry.
However, right now, he only cares about the safety of his Daughter, Ji Mai.
He knew, that once the Holy Envoy got what he wanted, Holy Envoy would take Ji Mai with him in a strange device in which he descended.
Ji Mai understood her father's intentions, but she was still unwilling to leave in such a dire situation.
Ji Mai gazed at her father with a mix of determination and concern, after all, being Stupid in critical situations are major trait
of heroine.
"Father, I can't just abandon the sect in this critical moment, don't worry, I highly believe the Holy Envoy will help us. " Ji Mai responded.
However, a voice in her head clashed with her intentions.
" Are you Stupid?, listen to your father and run away with the Holy Envoy, The Sect is destined to be doomed " The Voice spoke.
" Master, how can I abandon my sect, where I grew up? " Ji Mai said lightly.
" Don't be stupid, your Father isn't a good guy, leave him behind and live a new life, as long as you can satisfy the Holy Envoy, he won't abandon you, think about this, you have a great talent, you are destined for greatness, you have to survive, you can't die here. " Ji Mai's master spoke trying to change Ji Mai's mind.
But, Ji Mai was pretty stubborn, she didn't want to leave the sect at a critical moment.
Seeing this, her master was helpless.

"..."
Li Bai was too stunned to speak anything.
" Did I just obtain the library of all knowledge?" Li Bai thought, while there was a strange smirk tugged on his lips.
Doesn't that mean, I can have all the knowledge on Martial arts, martial techniques, spiritual arts etc? Li Bai's mind was filled with tons of ideas, however, 99% of those ideas were morally bad.
Li Bai temporarily forgot about the lowly Chosen son of heaven named Ling Fei at the moment as he thought of trying out this " Training ground "
