*swoosh* Dashing through the air, Ji Shuang glanced down at the Sect grounds and soon reached the Celestial Star wing.


    *tap* As she landed down on the ground, the female disciples there turned to look at her and bowed their heads."


    "Sect Master.."


    "Sect Master."


    Ji Shuang nodded her head and made her way toward the inner hall of the wing.


    Reaching the grand doors of the inner hall, Ji Shuang’s voice echoed like a soft chime in the air "Zijin..."


    At this time, sensing Ji Shuang’s presence, Yan Zijin stepped out of her room and reached the main hall.


    "Sect Master," Yan Zijin greeted, her tone calm yet respectful.


    Before Ji Shuang could respond, another figure emerged from a side corridor.


    Rui Lian, her long green hair cascading over her shoulders, entered the hall with a serene elegance as her green eyes glanced at Ji Shuang.


    "Sect Master..."


    Ji Shuang glanced at Rui Lian and smiled faintly "Lian, you came back?"


    Rui Lian gently bowed her head "Yes... Sect master, I came back just today."


    A slight smile appeared on Ji Shuang’s lips "It’s good to see you again"


    Yan Zijin gestured to the couch and spoke "Come and sit Sect Master."


    With a nod, Ji Shuang took a seat and Yao Zijin followed, taking a seat beside her on the couch while Rui Lian sat on the opposite sofa.


    Frowning slightly, Yao Zijin asked in a serious tone "There must be something important if you came all the way here to meet me, Sect Master?"


    Ji Shuang nodded her head "Yes Zijin... it is about Zhao Tian."


    A spark of curiosity flickered across Yan Zijin’s otherwise composed expression, her brow raising slightly.


    Across from them, Rui Lian tilted her head, intrigued by the name "I also heard a lot about him when I reached the sect today, he crossed 8 stages of the Heavenly Tribulation and has affinity to three elementals?"


    Nodding her head, Ji Shuang’s gaze flickered to Yao Zijin "That is precisely why I came to speak with you, Zijin. I want you to accept him as your disciple."


    -_-


    Eh?


    Rui Lian blinked, her lips parting slightly in disbelief and glanced at Yan Zijin who was not much surprised by this "But.. a man in our wing?"


    A soft sigh escaped Yan Zijin’s lips "I kind of expected this to happen considering he has three elementals same as mine, Fire, lightning and Ice..."


    "Are you bringing him to me to teach him the Elemental Nexus?"


    "There you go."


    Taking the mirror in hand, Zhao Tian looked at his hair and nodded in approval "Maybe I should just recruit both of you as my personal caretakers."


    Yao Jing playfully nudged his head "Dream on, idiot disciple."


    Zhao Tian stood up from the couch and stretched his arms "Then I am leaving for the Alchemy Chamber, I also need to talk with Sister Xue and Sister Nue as its been a while."


    Yao Jing nodded her head "They’ve been worried about you, especially with everything that happened during the tribulation. Go see them. It’ll put their hearts at ease."


    A sigh escaped Li Jia’s lips "Then I am going and packing my dresses. I am also leaving..."


    As she left, Zhao Tian glanced at Yao Jing and pulled her hand "Come here Master..."


    "Ah—!" Yao Jing gasped softly as she stumbled slightly, landing against his chest.


    The sudden closeness brought a faint blush to her cheeks, but before she could regain her composure, Zhao Tian leaned in and captured her lips in a soft kiss.


    Yao Jing, already accustomed to his playful antics, let out a muffled laugh against his lips before wrapping her arms around his neck, leaning into the kiss.


    Her fingers lightly played with the strands of his hair tied into a man bun, and her lips responded with equal warmth and fervor.


    When they finally broke apart, Yao Jing rested her forehead against his, her breaths mingling with his "You know, I should be the one initiating these moments, if only to prove that my kisses are far superior to Jia’s. But now it seems like you’re the one kissing me whenever the mood strikes you."


    Zhao Tian grinned looking into her green eyes "Oh, shut up. Your lips are too tempting. I can’t help but want to taste them from time to time."


    Before she could respond, he closed the distance again, his hands cupping her face as he claimed her lips in another kiss.


    Yao Jing’s initial surprise melted away, and she let herself get lost in the moment, her fingers tightening around the fabric of his robes as she returned the kiss wholeheartedly.


    When they finally pulled apart again, Yao Jing’s lips curved into a sly smile. "You might be the first disciple to kiss his master this confidentally..."


    "Well, I know my Master will spoil me no matter what..."


    "Hahaha."


    ...


    Walking through the Sect Grounds, Zhao Tian noticed the number of eyes looking at him in awe and envy.


    Not midning them, he made his way toward the Alchemy Chamber.


    Reaching there, he quickly took the elevator to go upstairs.


    "Oh, its been a while..." at this time, a woman entered the Elevator with him.


    Looking at the beautiful woman, Zhao Tian was quite surprised "Velnorah..."
