The hotel that Master of Samsara Palace lived in was not a big, three-star hotel. The only advantage was that it was near to Manlisi Hotel so it was convenient. Flaming Fire parked the car at the exquisite door of the hotel and finally said, “Here we are.”
“You’re not getting out?” Li Tianlan asked.
“I’ve got something to do,” Flaming Fire said quietly as she sat still in the car.
Li Tianlan felt strange in his heart, but he couldn’t tell the reason. When he was still wondering, Qin Weibai held his hand gently.
Li Tianlan smiled at her and got out of the car with Qin Weibai and started walking into the hotel. When he was going to enter, he turned his head and looked back.
The black car was arriving a crossing.
Wondering about that, Li Tianlan followed Qin Weibai into the hotel gate.
Only the deluxe suite was on the top floor.
The mysterious Master of Samsara Palace was living there now.
To Li Tianlan, it was hard to describe how he felt about her. That was because they had never met but still had an interconnection. There was also gratefulness in him for recreation and respect in some way. All the feelings together became very plicated.
Samsara Palace, Master of Samsara Palace, Qin Weibai, and even twelve Super Masters.
Everyone had done a lot for him.
Some he had already known, some he had not, and some he could tell that they helped without evidence.
It seemed like that since he entered the secular world, the mysterious and low-keyed Samsara Palace was with him all along. There was deep love from Qin Weibai and the non-interfering attitude of the Master of Samsara Palace when she was silent.
This kindness was too much so that Li Tianlan was a little nervous, feeling shameful to accept it.
The elevator was climbing up.
Li Tianlan arranged his clothes in a serious way, suppressing every thought in his mind.
He could feel his healthy heartbeat. The Immortality Potion was still working. This immortality was from the Master of Samsara Palace.
A green jade pendant on his neck quivered gently as the elevator went up.
That was Blue Sky Underworld, a murderous weapon, also given by the Master of Samsara Palace.
Li Tianlan got more nervous now.
Qin Weibai came to him like a moth to a flame. Then, Samsara Palace began to support him with their best.
Could he have an answer for everything today?
The elevator stopped. Its door opened on both sides. Li Tianlan took a deep breath, taking Qin Weibai with him.
The door of the deluxe suite was open. There was only silence within it. Standing in front, Qin Weibai knocked on the door.
“e in,” said a calm and lifeless voice in the room.
Qin Weibai stepped forward, taking Li Tianlan into the living room.
There was a grand French window. In view, a tall, buxom, and slightly fat figure was sitting in front of the French window, enjoying the view outside in silence.
The TV and air conditioner were not on in the living room. There was no light, no tea, books, or drawings, only the woman in front of the window and the storm outside.
For an unknown length of time, it seemed that there was only silence and boredom.
Qin Weibai lightened her steps and said, “Sister, Tianlan’s here.”
Li Tianlan looked at that dark figure in his sight with a blank look. He bowed slightly and said, “I give you my greetings, Palace Master.”
Qin Weibai pinched Li Tianlan secretly with disapproval.
Li Tianlan paused and then realized that he had said the wrong thing. He coughed dryly and said with a little embarrassment, “Sister.”
She turned her head and looked at him.
Darkness was between them.
Yet they could see everything with their bright eyes.
Qin Weibai stepped aside to turn on the light.
The Master of Samsara Palace’s expression was very calm. “Sit,” she said with a slight nod.
Li Tianlan sat down but he didn’t know what to say.
“You have something on your mind?” The Master of Samsara Palace said softly all of a sudden.
Li Tianlan looked at her with surprise.
She might have seemed a little fat but her face was still kind. He could find the pretty face that it used to be. Li Tianlan didn’t want to guess what age she was when she looked like this. She might be thirty, forty, or even fifty. He scratched his head and smiled, “It’s my first time to meet you. So I am a bit nervous.”
“It’s not that.”
The Master of Samsara Palace looked into his eyes quietly.
Her deep eyes seemed either emotionless or bining all emotions together. The strongest one would be the calmest one.
“You have something on your mind,” she repeated.
Qin Weibai gave him a cup of tea and sat by him. She looked at him with confusion.
Li Tianlan was silent for a while and shook his head and said, “It’s nothing.”
“How could it be nothing when the Chosen One appeared in Dark World?” the Master of Samsara Palace asked softly, mocking herself.
With a cup in his hand, Li Tianlan trembled briefly. He looked up and asked, “You know about this?”
The Master of Samsara Palace sat beside the French window, saying in a gloomy voice, “I’ve waited too long for today.”
She looked at Li Tianlan and asked, “Are you scared?”
“Yes,” Li Tianlan answered quickly but then thought of the sentence the Master of Samsara Palace had said.
“She’d waited too long for today?
“Did she wait for Wang Tianzong’s breakthrough?”
He was unsure, so he said directly, “If everything goes well, Wang Tianzong will break through in three days. For now, he had made full preparation and he is ready to take that next step.”
“I’m afraid you’re right.”
The Master of Samsara Palace made no reaction to the news about Wang Tianzong. She just said, “The least I want to hear is you say you are not scared. He is the Chosen One who can beat any man in the world, so everyone should be scared before him. This is to respect the Invincible Realm and Martial Arts, and to respect himself.”
“Tianlan, the most important thing you need is your calmness and your senses in this position. The most useless thing is righteousness and impulsion. I don’t know whether I will have another chance to say this to you, so I’d better tell you everything since it is difficult to meet.”
She chose to sit on the sofa opposite to where Li Tianlan sat and said, “When you are in a high position, you cannot treat life and death casually.”
She paused and said, “The one that you’re likely to fail the most is yourself.”
She glanced at Qin Weibai unintentionally and continued saying, “I’ve been through a lot in my life. But all of it was not difficult. Do you know what was the most difficult thing? “
“What was it?” Li Tianlan asked.
“To be yourself,” she answered in a calm voice, “This is the most difficult thing.”
Li Tianlan thought for a moment. He knew little about her, but he did know what she had done in recent years. When you are in a high position, you cannot treat life and death casually.
Then what did she think when the former Samsara Palace was subverted by the Night Spirit headquarters and when she fought against Blue Sky Underworld to seize the murderous weapon?
More than three years ago, she was seriously injured when she led 12 Super Masters straight into Mount Dibing and drew a sword to face Wang Tianzong. What was she thinking?
What was she thinking when she challenged Gu Xingyun in a duel in Heaven Capital more than three years ago?
When Samsara Palace’s headquarters perished under the sword of Wang Tianzong, what happened to her?
When he recalled all this, it seemed like everything done by the Master of Samsara Palace was about herself.
“What about you?” he looked into her eyes and asked suddenly, “Have you failed yourself?”
“I have no idea.” Her eyes went blank for a moment. “I’ve done a lot of things that cannot be judged. So being yourself is the most difficult thing, and so is not failing yourself.”
Li Tianlan’s heart trembled for no reason. He lowered his head to drink his tea.
The Master of Samsara Palace raised her hand suddenly. Li Tianlan lighted his finger a bit. Colorful light was shown in her hand.
“I am not surprised that Wang Tianzong would make a breakthrough. For now, it is not your thing to deal with. I will help you to stop the Sword Emperor under these circumstances. So don’t be afraid or worry.” She said peacefully, “This sword, I want to borrow it.”
Li Tianlan narrowed his eyes and said, “That is the Chosen One’s sword.”
“I told you. My sister has that power too,” Qin Weibai said suddenly, “She has been preparing it for a long time. Although it is only one wave, it could be the wave that could reproduce the Chosen One at its Peak.”
“No matter how much the Peak in the Invincible Realm prepares, they can never reach it,” Li Tianlan said quietly.
“So the sword is the key,” the Master of Samsara Palace said calmly, “This is the sword of the Chosen One. It has his sword intent and his Sword Energy. I will manage to recreate the sword array that the Chosen One made and to catalyze its power to my best ability.”
“It’s not enough,” Li Tianlan said, “If I can gain the power of the Chosen One, then this power is too easily attained and it’s valueless.”
“It’s not enough but nearly there.” The Master of Samsara Palace looked at him. “The last part can be fixed by my power. Using my entire power for a sword wave, it will be enough.”
To change a sword wave by one person.
Li Tianlan stood up suddenly and said, “No way!”
