"If I am not wrong, they will do everything to convince one of those three girls. Because, instead of killing me or making enemy with me, this is a thousand times better. Because they can see the benefit in future. And, they also know I won't get restricted."
"So, you can say that either they will let me marry one of them or kill me. As for the soul contract, they know I won't agree to it. After all, I spent six years just so that I won't be restricted and risked everything, a good life, a good wealth, a good future just for the sake of going out of the restriction."
"They know I won't agree to the soul contract. After all, if I really wanted to agree, I would've been cultivator years ago. Every guard is loyal to them. It's not because these guards have a sense of loyalty. It's just they are forced to be loyal."
"If I want to speak of restriction, there are tons of them in Tan Family. And, that's why they only have two choices. Either they must marry one of them to me or kill me. But, just because one of those girls will marry me doesn't necessarily mean she will love me."
"That means she will stay in the Tan Family while I will never stay here. That's the difference between her and you. I can't bring her alone in my journey because she might not love me." Then, he slowly approached her and puts his hands on her shoulder.
He turns forcefully turns her face towards him and says "But, I will always be together with you no matter where I go. Because you are my family."
At this moment, Qin slowly presses his lips on her. Originally, she wanted to push him away but later gave up. She let him devour the sweetness of her lips. After a long kiss, they separate and Yue Bin wraps her hand around his waist and said.
"I don't if I can catch up to you in the future. But, I will never leave you."
She raised her head and continued "I want to tell you about me and my family."
Qin smiled when she finally decided to tell him about her family. He basically knows nothing about her. After that, they continued on their journey while Yue Bin told him her history.
Yue Bin was born in an average family in a southern village. From a small age, she was very curious about cultivation. When she was fifteen years old, she was discovered with Dragon Battle Body. It was on the level of Spirit Body but a little different.
Her talent attracted the elders of the Battle Dragon Sect and let her join. In these two years, her cultivation has risen from zero to the ninth stage of the Qi Gathering Realm. She practiced Green Dragon Battle Body Technique.
It was a body and qi refining technique. This was a domain rank and only technique that was suitable for her. Of course, this wasn't an easy technique. It took a lot of resources to cultivate this technique. But, it has its own benefit.
Now that she was in Qi Condensation Realm, she could create Battle Armor or Green Dragon Scales around her body to increase her physical strength. While running at full speed, Qin thought about her family.
Unlike his, she still had a family and if she gets too much involved with him, it would only be bad for her.
He got the bad premonition about the Blood Demon Sect. He couldn't help but look at Yue Bin. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
'If they aren't related to me, it won't matter to me. But, if they are related to me, I won't let a single one die.'
Although he promised himself, the anxiety in his heart didn't go down. He knew it would be impossible to keep everyone in check. After all, he isn't invincible. But soon, he calmed down. He realized he was worrying too much about the future.
First, he must worry about his present. Because he still has an enemy now.
After running for six hours straight, they crossed a few villages and reached Flame City. Qin wore a hood to hide his face while he travel together with Yue Bin. While entering the city, they were blocked by a few guards at the gate.
But Yue Bin easily got him inside with her identity. They didn't explore the city but Yue Bin still explained a few major locations. The Flame City was big. It nearly holds more than five thousand houses. The Battle Dragon Sect, Shining Moon Sect, and Rising Sun Sect are located at the eastern, southern, and northern parts of Flame City.
As for the three major families, they share the Western Part equally. These six are behemoths of the Flame City. And, there is another behemoth but it is related to business. Sky Treasure House was the behemoth that no other sect or family wanted to fight.
If those families and sect control the economic of Flame City, then this house sucks all of the wealth from them doing some powerful business such as selling talisman paper, array plates, medicinal herbs, spiritual plants, auctions, and lots of other businesses.
It was also located at the center of Flame City. But since they didn't have anything to do there. Yue Bin took him directly to the sect. In the eastern part, there were a few hundred normal houses. And, at the corner, there was a massively expanded mansion.
While walking towards the mansion, Qin found many people wearing white pants and a blue shirt. All of them had a mark of a dragon on their shirt. Soon, they reached in front of the gate where two guards blocked them or rather blocked Qin.
After all, he was wearing a hood that hides half of his face. Yue Bin didn't talk too much and took out the Inner Disciple Token. It was a circular two inches wide plate with the silver dragon painted on it. Seeing this, the guard's eyes shrunk as he bowed down and spoke "Please enter the sect, Inner Disciple!"
When he said that, Qin noticed this guard looked a lot younger and his aura wasn't strong either. Of course, Qin had already hidden his cultivation and physical strength with the help of Claire.
Yue Bin nodded her head and turned around. Her hand twitched a little but Qin shook his head. Although Yue Bin didn't seem too beautiful, she was still the inner disciple and a talented girl. If he gets too much intimacy right now, he might attract trouble for himself.
This is what he learned from his six years in the Tan Family. Of course, this doesn't mean he won't fight back if someone truly disturbs their distance.
Seeing his reaction, Yue Bin got a little sad but still walked ahead. Qin followed her and both of them directly walked toward the garden. This garden had a paved lane that ends in front of a small mansion. It was next to the main mansion but nobody walked outside the paved lanes.
Qin noticed this and quickly remembered it. After a minute, they reached in front of the mansion guarded by two guards. When they saw Yue Bin, they nodded their head and let her enter. But, they didn't show an attitude like the guard outside.
After they entered the mansion, they saw an old man sitting on a chair. He had his hands on the table. His face was wrinkly and had a white beard. His head was bald and his body was slender. He was wearing a completely white dress.
When he saw Yue Bin and Qin, he raised his hand and shouted "Congratulation on entering Qi Condensation Realm! Now, you are officially an inner disciple."
Although Yue Bin was an inner disciple, it wasn't a true inner disciple. To be an inner disciple, one must have Qi Condensation Realm cultivation.
"Thank you, Elder Chen! Today, I have brought a genius for the sect. I hope you can let him join the Inner Court as well." Yue Bin's straightforwardness made Qin startled but the old man laughed.
"Hahaha! Disciple Yue, I can't help you with this. Since you have so much confidence, his talent must be great but his cultivation is only at the fourth stage of Qi Gathering. Don't forget, the only reason why you were able to enter Inner Court was because of your ninth stage Qi Gathering Realm."
"We only agreed because if you come Inner Disciple, you can enjoy more resources and enter Qi Condensation Realm faster. You can say that we were sure that you would reach that realm. But, with him, we can't do the same thing, understand?"
At this moment, Yue Bin bites her lips and just when she was about to say something, Qin bowed down and said "Elder, I would like to start as an outer-disciple. After all, elder is correct. If I become inner disciple, I would dissatisfy many other disciples. After all, there should be many ninth stage Qi Gathering Realm disciples."
"In front of them, my strength is nothing but like an ant in front of an elephant. I am nothing but a weak cultivator now. Before entering the Inner Court, I would like to strengthen myself and hopefully win against few top Outer disciples. So, please let me enter Outer Disciple."
Hearing his words, both Elder Chen and Yue Bin froze.
