"You mean right now?" Qin asked to confirm if he was hearing right. But, suddenly he realized something. Tan Family didn't come to help him at the start rather they appeared when Qin and his party were in the most dangerous situation.
"Yes, we have already prepared everything. Now, it's just your team who needs to agree. By the way, Tan Xinyi, Tan Gengxin, Tan Jian, Tan Ge, and Tan Shui are also joining your group. You need to use this moment to strengthen your relationship with them." The Great Elder nodded his head and spoke in a profound manner but Qin knew he was only doing this to hide his embarrassment.
"Do you plan to develop Tan's family with my child?" Qin couldn't help but ask.
The Great Elder nodded his head and said "After this incident, we will hide ourselves from the world and slowly groom your children into a Great Emperor. With the potential you have shown us, your children might even go beyond you."
"We can't leave the Tan Family in your hands but we can indeed leave it in the hands of your child. But, the first child born from any of our three daughters will have Tan's surname. As for the second child, he/she can keep your surname. As for the final child, it depends on you and the girl."
Hearing his words, Qin couldn't help but roll his eyes "Old man, aren't you thinking too much into the future. I am just sixteen. And, none of your daughters are eighteen either."
"Hahaha! Don't worry boy, you will find a surprise inside the Secret Realm." The Great Elder couldn't help but burst into laughter when he heard Qin's words.
"What surprise?" Qin couldn't help but ask with curiosity.
"Hehe! If I tell you, how could it be a surprise?" The Great Elder smirked at Qin and turned around. Qin couldn't help but follow the Great Elder into the room. At this moment, everyone had already signed the contract.
So, as soon as the great elder and Qin entered the room, Tan San clapped and said "Alright, since everyone is done with this. Let's move on to the entrance of the secret realm."
Qin and the Great Elder walked out from the same door they enter. Qin couldn't help but his head at the Great Elder and ask "If we were going out, why did we even enter the room?"
"To give Tan San signal." The Great Elder answered and picked up the pace. Qin didn't chase the great elder. He slowed down until he walks together with others.
"Brother Qin, are we going to split up or remain together inside the secret realm?" Lan Ming turned his head at Qin and asked while walking behind Tan San and Tan Ming.
Qin rubbed his lips for a moment and thought.
"I think we should stay together at first, observe the surroundings. If the monster beasts inside the Secret Realm is something we can fight against with ease, we will split up. If we don't then we will stay together."
"Our main goal is to improve our cultivation. Since we only have twenty days, we might not be able to improve by that much. But, we must try as much as we can especially now that we already have strong enemies and they might increase in future if that thing happens."
Hearing his words, Lan Ming couldn't help but ask "What thing?"
Qin slapped his forehead and said "It's about Cheng Gun. If the people from Rising Sun Sect and Battle Dragon Sect inform the Cheng family that Qiao Fu is with me, they will definitely come here to kill me."
"But, why?" Lan Ming continued to ask and Qin continued to reply.
"Because of the inheritance. Well, this inheritance might be as good as your guys. But, it is one of the kind of the most people. So, they won't hesitate to send the army of Battle Kings to obtain it. In that case, we might have rely on you."
Qin said pointing his finger at Lan Ming.
Lan Ming scratched his head and said "I might have some connection but if it is about the inheritance, they might not listen to me. Especially when you said this inheritance might be very important to them."
"Well, it is a Domain Rank Cultivation Technique. But, I do have a plan for this. If they do come, we will just return it back. And, that's where you can try to convince them." Qin shrugged his shoulders and replied.
"Domain Rank!!! I guess, it is important for them. Well, it doesn't matter anyway. It's just a domain rank. If they aren't satisfied with one, we can give them two and settle it down." Lan Ming tilts his head with a bit of disdain in his tone.
Hearing his words, Tan San suddenly froze for a moment and turned around "Boy, aren't you looking down on Domain Rank too much? And, aren't you afraid someone will try to kill you for those techniques?"
His words brought a smile to Lan Ming's face. He lifts his head as he stares at Tan San and says "If it was before, I would be a little cautious about what I speak. But now, I have friends."
Hearing his words, Tan San narrowed his eyes and said "What if they are the one who tries to take it from you?"
Lan Ming shook his head and said "Senior Tan, I think you don't understand geniuses. All of us have some so unique that others can compare with it. And, unless they are overly greedy for something, no one will betray each other."
"Do you know the most depressing and hard moment of a genius's life? It's the time when he finds there is no one in the world that can fight him in the same realm."
As soon as he finished his words, Guo Yang spoke "This little monk agrees with Brother Lan's words. Without the people who can give me a challenge, my life will be filled with boredom. The excitement of battle is the thing that can balance the boring life of this monk."
"Ahem! Brother Guo, you don't need to be so depressed. We will definitely find more enemies to fight in the future." Guo Min couldn't help but give comfort to Guo Yang. He knows why Guo Yang suddenly got so enthusiastic about the battle.
"Yeah, and.." Guo Yang nods his head at Guo Min and turned his head at Chu Xieyi.
"You are not allowed to interfere in this poor monk's battles in the future."
Although his face was calm, there was a hint of anger in his tone. Hearing his angry words, Chu Xieyi slowly changed her expression and started crying.
"Alright! Alright! You can interfere but not too much. You will only battle my enemies once."
Guo Yang tried to control his anger as he pats Chu Xieyi's head. Seeing this, Guo Min slightly leaned closer to Guo Yang and whispered "Brother Guo, what the hell did you do to her? How can you melt ice without any heat?"
"This poor monk doesn't know and doesn't want to know. My life has become so hard after that battle." Guo Yang whispers with a crying tone. Guo Min and Guo Yang continued to talk in a small voice, so small that nobody nearby could hear them even though they weren't talking in each other's ears.
It's because they were whispering and talking in each other's heads at the same time. Everyone chooses to ignore Guo Yang and Chu Xieyi's chemistry. They have no idea how the coldest and proud heart fell for a monk who has given up on earthly desires.
No matter what, this has indeed helped them create a relationship with Chu Xieyi.
Tan San shook his head and didn't continue to talk with Lan Ming. He truly doesn't understand the world of geniuses. Sometimes they betray each other but sometimes they act like life and death brothers. It was complicated. So, he decided not to think too much about it.
After a few minutes, they reached in front of a massive blue spiral hole. It was created between a few metallic rods and it felt like the spiral hole wanted to suck things inside. But, it wasn't trying to suck anything inside.
"Brother Qin!!!" A loud voice drew their attention as they saw a girl rushing towards Qin. She dashed towards him and jumped into his embrace. Her little height came in handy to hold her properly.
"I missed you…." Tan Jian wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed it.
"I also missed you. But… can you come down? You are suffocating me." Qin couldn't help but tap her arms a few times. She was truly pressing his neck hard.
"Ahh! Sorry, I was so excited to see you that I forgot about it." Tan Jian hurriedly left his embrace and saw three girls glaring at her with deadly eyes from behind. She stuck out her tongue and teased them while coming down.
"Brother Qin, how are you?" A sweet and seductive voice rang from behind instantly making him turn around.
