The Way of The Dao

Everyone saw Ling Tian with different expressions.

Ling Tian easily got rid of Rong Xiu's grip as he told everyone, "You should keep practicing to increase your strength. Go away and stop wasting time here."

"No wonder your behavior, since you are a great master of alchemy." Na Shin spoke with a slight stiffness in his voice, but immediately tried to calm down: "Master alchemist, this is a discussion between martial artists, so you should not get involved so as not to get hurt by anything."

A slight arrogance was evident in his voice. Na Shin knew that Rong Xiu's grandfather had actually been healed by someone who was a young man, but he did not know his name or what family he was from.

Now that Rong Xiu was the one who clarified Ling Tian's identity, he was sure that he really was a Master of Alchemy.

Ling Tian looked at him weakly, with a slight mockery in his eyes. His eyes still showed that clear indifference, as if expressing that he was nobody before him.

Na Shin frowned in annoyance and tried to slightly frighten Ling Tian with his aura. He didn't want his family to get in trouble with the Alchemy Association if he hurt him, since he assumed that Ling Tian was from the association, so he wanted to scare him only. Na Shin felt no power in Ling Tian, so he should only be a master of alchemy with no basis in the martial arts.

A somewhat heavy aura began to cover Ling Tian.

Mu Shen and Tang Jingtian mocked inside when they saw what Na Shin was doing. Long Yuyin secretly looked at Na Shin with hatred while clenching her teeth.

Rong Xiu hesitated when she saw Ling Tian. She hesitated and looked between Ling Tian and Na Shin, but then decided and walked back to Na Shi. She did not feel any power in Ling Tian and preferred to be on the side of someone strong who could protect her.

Ling Tian only looked weakly at what Rong Xiu and Na Shin were doing.

"You'd better leave. Your Na family was called to the Lord of the City Mansion a few moments ago..." Ling Tian did not flinch from Na Shin's aura and told him to leave: "Although I think you have condemned your family..."

Na Shin frowned even more, realizing that Ling Tian was not shaking or showing any expression of fear when locked in his aura. He increased his aura more, but Ling Tian did not even show signs of being afraid.

Ling Tian stopped looking at Na Shin and walked towards Long Yuyin.

Pum

Ling Tian slightly hit Long Yuyin's forehead with a funny smile.

"We should go." Ling Tian said, "Tell your father that the Na family will not be given anything."

"Em..." Long Yuyin nodded with a slight blush on her cheeks.

Ling Tian just shook his head in amusement.

Everyone was stunned to see the interaction between Ling Tian and Long Yuyin.

What was going on?

The famously arrogant Goddess was being docile and gentle with someone!

"W-what is your relationship with Miss Long?" Na Shin asked rigidly. His gaze was completely fixed on Long Yuyin.

"Huh?" Ling Tian turned to Na Shi and then said, "She is my disciple."

Long Yuyin was still slightly flushed, trying to calm down, but then she made a small grimace as she listened to Ling Tian.

The others were surprised to hear Ling Tian and, watching Long Yuyin's reaction, were more confused and even began to believe it.

"Th-that can't be true..." Na Shin commented rigidly, without wanting to believe it: "M-Miss Long, is it true?"

Na Shin asked Long Yuyin incredulously.

Long Yuyin did not even reply, ignoring him completely.

"M-Miss Long, then could you give me a chance to meet us?" Na Shin sighed and immediately showed that gentlemanly smile again. He really liked Long Yuyin and didn't want anyone to steal her attention.

Long Yuyin frowned in disgust at this, but quickly tried to calm down as Ling Tian looked at her with a smile.

"You see? You better not keep bothering her, better yet, you better not keep harassing other women." Ling Tian said weakly.

Na Shin sprained his lip in annoyance at Ling Tian's words.

"With the respect I have for you as an alchemist, I suggest that you do not continue to meddle in the affairs of others. Besides, your relationship as Master and Disciple is just that, or is there another relationship that allows you to meddle in her decisions?"

Na Shin asked Ling Tian sardonically. It burned within him that Long Yuyin was so close to a man. She was one of the five Goddesses! A weak man who may only know how to make elixirs would not be worthy of such goddesses.

Ling Tian raised his eyebrows and without thinking, he took Long Yuyin's soft hand and said with a wide smile, "She is my woman too." He looked mockingly at Na Shin.

Everyone was astonished to hear Ling Tian's answer and see that he had boldly taken the hand of the Goddess!

Long Yuyin could not control her incessant heartbeat when finally a deep blush spread across her entire complexion.

Ling Tian looked mockingly at Na Shin and those behind him.

Soon, Ling Tian started walking with Long Yuyin without letting go of her hand.

"Shen, Jingtian." Ling Tian stood close to Mu Shen and Tang Jingtian as he told them, "In times of need and adverse situations, only true trustworthy people will stay by your side, even though they may find the end of their lives. If when you needed them most they left you, then they are not worth it. Especially if they traded you for simple things..."

Ling Tian started walking with Long Yuyi, walking away from the place.

Each watched the departure of both as their minds tried to process what was happening.

Tang Jingtian and Mu Shen blinked after understanding what Ling Tian said and nodded in appreciation.

"Let's go." Mu Shen and Tang Jingtian told the girls and began to head elsewhere.

Na Shin and his group had a bad taste in their mouths when they learned that Goddess Long Yuyin was apparently already with someone.

They did not follow Mu Shen and Tang Jingtian's group and decided to leave better.

"Where was that courage and arrogance from a moment ago? Hehe."

After walking a long way, Ling Tian playfully asked Long Yuyin, who followed in silence and with her heart racing completely.

The night was already covering the entire Star City.

Ling Tian smiled even more and began to tease Long Yuyin.

"Where do you think you are looking?!"

"Don't touch me with those disgusting dirty hands...!"

Long Yuyin's complexion blushed much more but also a feeling of crisis, panic and fear filled her heart.

She had not wanted Ling Tian to see that side of herself!

Ling Tian looked at Long Yuyin and then smiled softly at her.

Caressing her head with a little strength to get her out of her thoughts, Ling Tian said with a smile, "Your personality is what makes you different from other people. Whoever loves you must accept everything about you without despising you for anything. Do not try to hide what you are."

Ling Tian didn't really dislike that side of Long Yuyin. He was also arrogant at times and much more so than Long Yuyin. That side of her made her show that she was truly proud, not wanting to be intimidated by others.

Long Yuyin felt that the stone in her heart disappeared completely when she heard Ling Tian's words.

"Master..." Long Yuyin whispered soon after.

"Mm?" Ling Tian raised his eyebrows as he listened to Long Yuyin.

"Then you have to take responsibility..." Long Yuyin said in a low voice with a slightly sly smile as she remembered the words of Zhang Xinya when she told Ling Tian to take her as his wife. She also decided to be courageous in talking to Ling Tian.

Long Yuyin grabbed Ling Tian's clothes with her hands and pulled him slightly towards her.

Her eyes now began to show a determined and slightly proud look.

This was her true self.

Ling Tian observed that Long Yuyin's temperament was beginning to show its true colors. His lips curved slightly upward.

Ling Tian smiled amusingly before moving his head and tasting Long Yuyin's soft lips.

Uhm?!

Long Yuyin became stiff instantly when her lips were sealed by Ling Tian's.

A few seconds later, Ling Tian released her lips as he continued to enjoy and remember the taste of Long Yunyin.

Long Yuyin's face, ears and neck were deeply red like an apple.

Ling Tian really liked Long Yuyin and, despite their supposed Master-Disciple relationship, he would have no problem with her by taking her as his woman as well. He felt comfortable with Long Yuyin too and he liked her a lot. All those days of relating to each other, Ling Tian knew her personality very well.

"Now you are mine, my disciple~" Ling Tian stuck out his tongue maliciously, making Long Yuyin blush much more and nod shyly.

"Wait for me here..." Long Yuyin then whispered in a low voice, almost as if it were an order.

Ling Tian smiled ironically with an expression of not knowing whether to laugh or cry and then nodded with a broad smile.

Long Yuyin ran out, leaving Ling Tian alone. Her home was close by.

Some time later, Long Yuyin returned with a somewhat large suitcase.

Ling Tian tilted his head in confusion but did not ask any questions. Perhaps she was bringing her luggage to leave her clothes in the Mu house for when she increases her cultivation each time and washes the black impurities.

He put Long Yuyin's suitcase in his space ring, surprising her completely, and then they started walking toward the Mu house.

Ling Tian lovingly held her little hand as they walked.
