Another Cliché Cultivation Story

Chapter 86

When Li Yifan made her way down to the first floor, she saw the sight of a dozen disciples surrounding Ji Xian. A realization hit her as she remembered what she had forgotten. She stared at his figure for a moment, and upon seeing him being cornered, a joyful little smirk briefly appeared on her face before quickly fading away.

Just this bit of emotion displayed by her wouldve instantly caused a commotion in the Ardent Yin Sect. It was very rare for there to be a change in her expression other than indifference.

Li Yifan was simply annoyed with Ji Xian. He was an anomaly whom she never expected to meet. His presence will bring nothing but trouble for the Graha in the Lower World. But this was only part of the reason, in their earlier conversation, his attitude was nothing short of irritating. Although he didnt really show it, it was like he knew everything she had to say. She couldnt help but wonder if he knows more than he was letting on.

There was also Ji Xians identity. She had initially thought he was someone from that clan but after further thought, it doesnt seem too likely.

Li Yifan held on to the wooden stair railings, as she leaned on it, her eyes were fixed on his tall figure.

She muttered quietly to herself, That clan cares more about their descendant than anything so why would they abandon one of their own in the Lower World? Also, their blood usually arouses at a young age, when that happens, theres no way they wouldnt have known about his existence. They wouldve immediately sent someone down to bring him back

Seemingly having came to a conclusion, Li Yifan breathed a sigh of relief.

This is actually good news. If there was really a blood of Ji lost in the Lower World, who knows what kind of havoc that clan would bring into this Universe? Even my Graha race, as well as the Celestial race, would have to step aside and show them face.

Li Yifan hesitated before turning serious.

While this Ji Xian doesnt belong to that Ji, his potential is still outrageous. To have the ability to so quickly gain insight into what he sees is something Ive never heard of before. If any forces in the Upper World were to learn of this, no doubt they would try their best to snatch him over their side. Honestly, even Im a little tempted

I wonder how he, a Miracle, compares to the Absolutes or to the Great Empress Han Lan

The moment this name came up in Li Yifans mind, a dreadful spark flashed in her pupils.

After Han Lan ascended, she rapidly carved out her own legend. In front of her, all those geniuses can only kneel. I almost suffered a loss as well. Even Father is beginning to feel threatened by her potential.

How is it possible for someone like her to even exist

When I have time, I should pay a visit to the ruins of Amber Soul Kingdom. I have been here for over hundreds of years but I have yet to find the time to take a look at the place where she once ruled.

Li Yifan continued pondering for a while before a nervous expression appeared on her face.

Han Lan has always been mysterious. After declaring her supremacy to all those in her generation, she joined the Boundless Primeval Academy. Shes very rarely seen in public and her whereabouts are currently unknown.

If she were to one day know about the Graha invading her world

Li Yifan became serious, The Graha race is naturally not afraid of the Boundless Primeval Academy but the problem lies with the Empress herself. Right now, she is still far from a threat but her future is unimaginable.

She bitterly sighed, Han Lan you are the cause of why the Grahas are here, I wonder, will you become our dilemma as well?

If only the Progenitor wasnt missing. What would we have to fear with him around.

Li Yifan shook her head, Finally, she turned her attention back to Ji Xian, who had digressed the current situation into something weirder. Her lips curved into an amused smile but just like before, it quickly disappeared.

What an odd person she muttered as she took a step down the stairs.

Meanwhile, Ji Xian calmly looked around him. He was currently backed into a wall with a group of disciples standing before him. A variety of emotions could be felt in the room. There was anger, frustration, rage, and last but not least, annoyance.

My beautiful ladies, Is there a need to act like this? Want is a powerful desire that you must learn to control. Life is full of trials. It will test you at every turn. You must learn to reduce your cravings for lust. I am but one man. My heart is already filled and may not have enough room for others. I understand due to this being a women only sect, you all havent met a lot of men that can cause your emotions to fluctuate as much as I had, but unfortunately, there isnt much I can do for any of you. We are all cultivators here, we should at some level transcend these appetites for passion and yearning.

Uh, that Miss over there, please put the sword away and the axe behind you as well.

As Ji Xian continued lecturing the disciples in front of him, their faces became noticeably ugly.

At this point, almost every one of them had brought out a weapon and was holding it in their hands. Just a moment ago, this matter had yet to escalate so quickly, however, after interacting with Ji Xian for just a short while, the situation was exacerbated. This persons head simply was too far up his own ass.

Eventually, one of them couldnt take any more of his nonstop chirping.

Shut up, you idiot! We didnt gather because were attracted to you!

Exactly, stop talking and give us back whatever manual is in your robe. Do you think we are fools that cant see something so obvious?!

You are causing our emotions to fluctuate but its only going from irritation to displeasure!

Oh?

Ji Xian raised his brow in surprise.

Manuals?

He looked down at his robe. After seeing the protrusions that hung from his chest, a look of understanding appeared on his face.

Huh, I guess I forgot to put these back.

Ji Xian only pretended to take these books to mess with Li Yifan earlier. He didnt actually have any intention to keep them. He had already read everything that was on the first and second floors of the Sacred Yin Hall. The contents were perfectly ingrained into his mind so there wasnt any need for him to steal anything.

Nevertheless, he immediately shifted the blame without any hesitation, Ladies, it appears there is a misunderstanding. It was your Second Yin Pavilion that gave me these books. She personally stuffed them into my body, so if you have any bone to pick, then do it with her.

Nonsense! A particularly pretty disciple exclaimed. What we have in the Sacred Yin Hall are all treasures that our predecessors risked their lives to obtain so why would the Second Yin Pavilion Master allow an outsider like you to hold onto them?

After she spoke, she glanced around with expectations that her Senior and Junior Sisters would join in, but oddly enough, they were hesitant.

One of them coughed, Well if what he says is true, then it could be possible

This is the Second Yin Pavilion Master were talking about, who knows what shes thinking?

Yeah, she has always been rather indifferent toward the rules of our sect. Who could say she wouldnt do something like this?

One disciple after another nodded. None of them had a good impression of Li Yifan. She was simply too cold and apathetic. Other than the Sect Master, First, and Third Yin Pavilion Masters, she rarely shows any care toward the disciples and Elders. It was because of this that many people found her unpleasant to be around.

Ji Xian was amused by this sight. His eyes moved to a certain ordinary figure that stood at the back of the group.

He grinned before sending that person a spiritual sense message.

How are you this unpopular?

That person was naturally Li Yifan. She had made her way down to the first floor a while ago and heard everything.

Upon seeing the ongoing discussion about her from the group of disciples, she icily stared at Ji Xian.

Annoying

She coldly snorted and it bought everyones attention.

The disciples jumped before slowly turning to peek behind them.

After seeing Li Yifan, they instantly became nervous.

Second Yin Pavilion Master. They hurriedly bowed and greeted.

Li Yifan ignored them. She walked up to Ji Xian and stared at him. With narrowed eyes, she held out her hand.

Ji Xian chuckled as he reached inside his robe. His defined chest could be momentarily seen.

I kept them warm for you.
