Zhou Xiang, Chu Hongyuan, and Qian Xiaohao headed to the academic building. They were incredibly envious that Ye Tian had won the favor of the "goddess," but they held no resentnt. Perhaps only a genius like Ye Tian was worthy of a goddess like Zhang Xinlan.
anwhile, Ye Tian and Zhang Xinlan went to a private room not far from the academic building. There were quite a few students in the private rooms area, and they were slightly surprised to see the two of them arrive together.
Ye Tian and Zhang Xinlan ignored the strange looks from the others and went straight to the very back of the private rooms area, a place where very few students could enter and which was also the quietest.
"Let's use this one," Zhang Xinlan said to Ye Tian. "It'll be more convenient to talk here. You must have a lot of questions you want to ask , don't you?"
"I do, actually," Ye Tian said with a serious expression. "I'm not sure what you need to tell , but coming here feels a little strange."
Upon entering the private room, the force of gravity pressed down on them. However, the gravity in this room was negligible to Ye Tian and Zhang Xinlan; they barely felt it. This level of gravity was only effective against those at the Two Vein Realm. For soone at Ye Tian's Three Vein Realm and Zhang Xinlan's Five Vein Realm, it was indeed nothing.
"The academy's field activity is about to start soon," Zhang Xinlan said. "I want you to be with . Of course, if you want to be with your friends, that's fine too, but you have to bring along."
Ye Tian glanced at Zhang Xinlan, not understanding why she would make such a request. He then smiled and said, "Does this count as the first of your three conditions?"
"Of course not," Zhang Xinlan replied. "If you count sothing this simple, then the things I'm asking you to do wouldn't be 'things' at all. Aren't you being a bit too optimistic?"
"Why should I agree to that?" Ye Tian said. "You at least have to let know the reason. I need to see if it's sothing I can even do. I can't just agree to sothing without knowing anything about it!"
"The reason is simple. This field activity will definitely be dangerous. You know you killed the two young masters of the Murong and Sima Families. This field activity is the perfect ti for them to kill you.
Did you really think those two guys just now would have dared to do anything to you? This is the academy, and their strength isn't high. If I'm not mistaken, you could have easily killed them by yourself.
They were just saying those things to probe your strength. And when you told them to settle things once and for all during the field activity, that was exactly what they wanted. That's why they pretended to reluctantly let you go.
For this field activity, Sima Tianhai has certainly bribed many people. There will definitely be more people who want you dead than Demon Beasts you'll encounter. I want to stick with you to protect you. Don't doubt my strength. You should know that soone from a Holy Land is definitely not weak.
You should understand your own status—you cannot afford any mishaps. Protecting you is also my responsibility. I will tell you the specific reasons later. But right now, I really do have sothing I need you to do," Zhang Xinlan said, all in one breath.
"Go on, what is it? This must be your first thing, right?" Ye Tian asked.
"I suppose so. Actually, this should be very easy for you. I know you have the Eight-winged Golden Scale Python. I need a drop of its blood. To be honest, I have a stubborn illness that can only be suppressed by the blood of a creature with the purest yang energy.
You were born with a Pure Yang Body, which would naturally be the best choice. But your current strength is too low. Even with your Pure Yang Body, it wouldn't have much of an effect on unless you reach the Five Vein Realm.
Now you should understand a little more. Elder Qing was the one who told all this. He's also the one who told to co to Linyuan Academy to find you. Otherwise, why do you think a Saintess from a Holy Land would co to a place like this?" Zhang Xinlan said.
"What did you say? You're a Saintess? What's going on? Why have I never heard Elder Qing ntion this?" Ye Tian asked in astonishnt.
Ye Tian knew Zhang Xinlan's identity was anything but simple, but he never imagined she would be a Saintess. Just hearing the title suggested an incredibly high status, which was a frightening thought.
"You're the Young Master of Shen Li Palace, so why can't I be a Saintess? Your strength is too low right now for you to know too much. Knowing more would only put pressure on you. You just need to know that I have no ill intentions toward you. Or rather, you are even more important than my own life.
I believe you can do this. This is a private room, so no one should co in. It's the most suitable place to summon your Demon Pet," Zhang Xinlan said.
Hearing Zhang Xinlan's words left a strange feeling in Ye Tian's heart. 'More important than her own life? What does that an? Could it be that this so-called Saintess was born just for ? That's too incredible to believe!'
'Since I can't ask, I might as well not ask and avoid the confusion. Besides, since I already promised her three things, I might as well get this first one over with. It's also been a while since I've seen Ye Lin, so I'd like to let him out for so fresh air anyway.'
"Alright, I'll bring Ye Lin out. I hope his blood can temporarily relieve your suffering. But I am a bit curious—how did you end up with this stubborn illness? Can you tell ?" Ye Tian couldn't help but ask.
"There's no harm in telling you. It's an old ailnt from my childhood. I was sabotaged while practicing a Martial Skill. Although I received treatnt at the ti, the problem couldn't be completely eliminated.
In this whole world, only you can completely help . And so, I was destined to have an intricate connection with you. I think I've made myself clear enough now. Do you have any other questions?" Zhang Xinlan asked.
Ye Tian's heart was in turmoil. 'Zhang Xinlan's situation sounds a lot like Xiao Yaoyao's. It probably also requires that special thod to be cured. What does that an?'
'It ans I might be getting another woman. To be honest, I really don't have those kinds of feelings for her. Zhang Xinlan is beautiful, yes—so beautiful it's hard to look directly at her—but I already have quite a few won. I really don't want to add another.'
Ye Tian wanted to refuse, but he could tell from Zhang Xinlan's words that her Sect had a complex relationship with Shen Li Palace. This left him unsure of what to do. 'I know next to nothing about any Holy Land, and besides, she said I'm not even qualified to cure her until I reach the Five Vein Realm.'
"What are you thinking about? I'm not forcing you to do anything right now. Don't tell you don't even want to complete the first thing you promised ?" Zhang Xinlan asked.
"Fine. I'll bring Ye Lin out now. Just a mont," Ye Tian said.
As soon as he finished speaking, a purple light appeared in the private room. Mixed within the purple light was a terrifying Thunder Power...
