Ximen Yanyan turned around to depart, her small boots that ingrained with gem stomped hard, walking away while flushing in anger somehow making her milk-white bosom rocked, trembling its surface and became the feast for Yang Dingtian's both eyes.
Ximen Yanyan walked, on the deck only remaining Yang Dingtian.
He stared at the horizon beyond the vast blue ocean.
"The distances from here to Yin-Yang Sect around 15 days at most, no scenery that really worth to look since it just blue color sea, too monotonous and arid, especially to younger people," Ximen Wuya's voice came out from inside the ship, then he somehow arrived behind Yang Dingtian without him noticing.
"Mister Ximen, why do you want to go to Yin-Yang Sect?" Yang Dingtian asked, he actually shouldn't ask such a question to a person he just acquaintance, but he still young, such a mistake should be understandable.
"Routine business, once every ten years," Ximen Wuya said: "similar to those people who went out for a journey and far from home, after a few years want to go back and pay respect to ancestor, indicated one have not forgotten his origin."
"Do you have relations with Yin-Yang Sect?" Yang Dingtian raised his eyebrows.
"Is the City that has the relations," Ximen Wuya said: "a very complex one if I have to say, we are neither enemies nor friend, either close or not close."
Ximen Wuya this brilliant looking person talked intimately to Yang Dingtian despite they just met.
"Cloud Firmament City all previous ruler goes to Yin-Yang Sect every ten years, going there once and be insulted once, I am roughly the same," Ximen Wuya said slowly.
"Aren't you strong? How can be insulted? Your Cloud Firmament City it's formidable, right?" Yang Dingtian asked and half probed.
Ximen Wuya acted as if he didn't know Yang Dingtian's probing, he said with a smile: "In front of Yin-Yang Sect, who dares to say they are formidable?"
Yang Dingtian raised his eyebrows: "Yin-Yang Sect is that strong?"
"If a school had several thousand juniors, an area that covered around hundred li (0.5km), hundreds if not thousands breather of Yang Qi, is that school fierce?" Ximen Wuya asked.
"Yeah, very fierce," Yang Dingtian nodded, "so Yin-Yang Sect is unexpectedly formidable?"
"No, what I said is not Yin-Yang Sect, but just a school, under this sky there are dozens of school," Ximen Wuya said: "approximately Twenty Seven Factions, above them is Nine Great Gates, above them is Three Great Sects: Hidden Sect, Yin-Yang Sect, and Profound Heaven Sect. Three Sects Under the Heaven, each harbor a supreme master, and Yin-Yang Sect is among them, how it is not strong?"
Yang Dingtian skipped a breath, he had listened to his master about Yin-Yang Sect, he thought Yin-Yang Sect just a normal strong Sect, but turned out their fame and prowess reach to this degree.
"How about Dongfang Niemie?" Yang Dingtian couldn't help but ask.
"Number- One Under the Heaven!" Ximen Wuya said these characters lightly.
Yang Dingtian's innermost feelings thoroughly shocked, my master… unexpectedly is the Number One Under the Heaven powerhouse!
However, since he is Number One Under the Heaven, why he was stranded under the Ten Thousand Miles of Ice and Snow? Who is his enemy? Could it be that he or she is stronger than Number One Under the Heaven?
Yang Dingtian's body and mind thoroughly shocked that he didn't have any more interest to chat, Ximen Wuya smiled, he patted the youngster's shoulde, turned around to left the deck.
"Looks like it's going to rain, quickly go inside."
For the following several days, all people on ship still despise Yang Dingtian, Ximen Yanyan had filled with hatred to him.
But Ximen Wuya acted different, he chatted with him every day. He never inquire Yang Dingtian's privacy, instead answered honestly Yang Dingtian's all issues.
The more they chatted the more they hit it off well with one another, sometimes they even chat for quite some time.
People in the entire ship felt strange, why Ximen Wuya such an honorable Cloud Firmament City Lord treated well a person with no clear origin? Ximen Yan had been full of hostility toward Yang Dingtian, he is Ximen Wuya's adopted son, and he respected him the most but never receives such a treatment before thus his heart full of the envy.
City Lord had a good reputation and incorruptible, but at this time some people suspected that Yang Dingtian perhaps City Lord's bastard?
As for Yang Dingtian himself, although he had some wary toward Ximen Wuya, but his heart actually full of favorable impression to this gentle middle-aged man, even adore him a little. Beforehand he always wondered, what should it be a true appearance of a gentleman? But now he knew, Ximen Wuya is the symbol of gentleman, being together with him as if being washes by the spring breeze, and he is not a hypocrite either.
However, the time of distinction must arrive soon, after half a month drafted on the sea, that Eastern Cloud State where Yin-Yang Sect was now had within the distance.
...
"Good, a very fine and handsome young man," Ximen Wuya smiled as he looked at Yang Dingtian reflection inside the mirror inside.
Since they must disembark soon, Ximen Wuya resorted to personally makeover Yang Dingtian, shaving his beard, trimmed his hair, but also gave him an elegant long gown, filled with exquisite and magnificent pattern.
Now, Yang Dingtian no longer a savage and not having any difference with the person of this world, His origin from Earth was impossible to trace.
Ximen Wuya such an honorable and prideful Cloud Firmament City's Lord, its ruler, but he hand down personally shaved off Yang Dingtian's hair; he had no single reason to be this good at Yang Dingtian.
"Master Ximen, why are you so good to me? I am just a person with no clear background," Yang Dingtian couldn't help but inquired.
"Every action must have a reason, do you think like this?" Ximen Wuya said with a smile.
"The Maori clan had been exterminated, something terrifying had caused the life in the north ice field gone, but I hailed from there, that is not normal, but you never question such an obvious ambiguity," Yang Dingtian asked.
"Are you already prepared several stories to answer such issue?" Ximen Wuya said with a smile.
"…" Yang Dingtian turned silent before he slowly nodded.
Ximen Wuya smiled never falter, "Since I know your reply is just making up stories, why do I bother ask? Everyone has their own privacy and secret, if they want to say it then they would say it, I don't need to ask."
"Moreover regarding your secret, I knew several," Ximen Wuya quickly continued, "of course I have no intention spying on you, when you still stupor while I treat your wound, you mumbled several words that I do not understand. I had known the majority of language but yours I unable to recognize, because I simply never listen to it anywhere."
Yang Dingtian startled, could it be when he was unconscious, he accidentally spoke in Chinese?
"But it is true; I am good to you, because a reason," Ximen Wuya said in a low tone, "I am smart, my vision is good."
"Through these several days, I had discovered that you in this world are alone, had no way no communicate properly with surrounding person. But you are an intelligent person, had many wisdom. You are a sensitive person but not prideful, kind but not naive. A very good child," Ximen Wuya said: "I know that you go to Yin-Yang Sect definitely because important reason, but I want to give you a second choice."
"What choice?" Yang Dingtian wrinkled his eyebrows in confused manner.
"In my bloodline, I only have a daughter, my beloved wife is scary, thus I feared to marry other women, therefore doesn't have other descendants. You had seen Yanyan, she is inappropriate to inherit the Cloud Firmament City's lord position," Ximen Wuya sighed, "I have adopted several son, they are smart and splendid, but not enough to lead Cloud Firmament City to the future fill with bright opportunity."
"That's why I settled on you, these several days I treat you well, because you have to test your moral character and intrinsic," Ximen Wuya smiled: "and I like the result, you had passed my test."
"In conclusion!" Ximen Wuya bore his vision to Yang Dingtian, "are you willing to be the Cloud Firmament City's next ruler?"
Ha?
Yang Dingtian turned absentminded, he thought he had miss heard Ximen Wuya's words.
"You want to adopt me too?" Yang Dingtian widened his eyes.
"No, not adopted son," Ximen Wuya shook his head gently, "Son-in-law, I want you to be my Son-in-law, Yanyan's future husband. And your children surnamed will follow yours, you are the sole unique master of the future Cloud Firmament City."
"Don't think such tittle is not something sacred, I am also the son-in-law, I married Yanyan's mother, and Lord Father-in-Law had given me the Cloud Firmament City," Ximen Wuya said: "I also only had a daughter, I am looking everywhere for an appropriate son-in-law, prepare to give him Cloud Firmament City, and now I had found him, it's you."
"But why are you settling on me? Could it be because I am alone? Could it be because my personality?" Yang Dingtian hurriedly asked.
Ximen Wuya said: "No, these of course are important, but to me, when I treated your wound, I discovered that your Pure Yang Profound Vein is immeasurably deep, but your Profound Qi is small and weak. You are intelligence, but similar to a white paper. I believe under my tutelage, your future will go far beyond in me. Cloud Firmament City will have a formidable and magnificent future."
Yang Dingtian as if had been struck by lightning. He couldn't understand the way this world's experts conducting their action. They selected Yang Dingtian as successor, then betrothing their daughter to him. Dongfang Niemie was understandable since he's trapped under the ice and clearly didn't have much choice, however Ximen Wuya such stood in the vast world, and he should have a better scope.
He could go all day to find men who want to be Ximen Yanyan's husband also Cloud Firmament City's future lord, he must have find more than a dozen already. Through his understanding from these several days, Yang Dingtian knew Cloud Firmament City status in this world, its super complex, but without a doubt it had formidable influence, it's an Overlord.
"City Lord Ximen, when you make this kind of decision hasn't you considered your daughter's happiness?" Yang Dingtian felt a complicated emotion surged inside him.
"Naturally I have, she's my first concern," Ximen Wuya smiled, "you saw how much I love Yanyan, this I betroth her to you, I believe she would be happy, this is my vision."
