Chapter 517: Evil cultivators!
*knock*

Hearing a soft knock on the door’s room, Zhao Tian’s white eyelashes trembled as his blue eyes caught the golden rays of the sunlight filtering through the window.

He glanced down at Fei Ziyu who was sleeping on his chest her breath slow and steady.

Then, he felt a delicate hand running through his hair and turned to see Fei Lingxi, who was watching him with a soft smile on her lips.

“Good morning, Master.”

He lazily hugged her closer and pressed a kiss on her lips, “Morning.. Lingxi…” a husky voice escaped his lips.

*knock* “Tian…”

Again hearing Li Jia’s voice from the outside, Zhao Tian replied “Wait, Jia…”

He slowly pushed Fei Ziyu from his chest so as not to wake her up and got down from the bed, adjusting his shorts on his hips.

Stretching his arms, he again kissed Fei Lingxi and muttered “Take Ziyu back to the artifact…”

Fei Lingxi smiled in happiness as she received two kisses from him in the morning and nodded her head “Yes, Master..”

Walking to the door, he pulled open the door and looked at Li Jia who was standing outside “Jia…” his voice still laced with a bit of sleep.

Li Jia was taken aback to see him half naked and facepalmed herself “What are you wearing? Is this how you meet a lady first thing in the morning, jerk?”

Zhao Tian groggily rubbed his eyes hearing her nagging and replied “Wait for a while, I will freshen up in a bit.”

“Hm…”

She stepped in and sat in the bedroom as he made his way to the bathroom.

A few minutes later, Zhao Tian emerged, now dressed in his usual elegant white robes, his hair damp from a quick rinse, and Li Jia stood up from the bed “Shall we have breakfast?”

Zhao Tian gave a nod and both of them stepped out of the room.

“Tian, you remember right? Be careful.”

Zhao Tian gave a nod, as white patterns appeared on his blue eyes ‘I need to see through the souls of the disciples to find the souls tainted with evil energy.’

But then, a thought crossed his mind, and he paused mid-step, placing a hand gently on Li Jia’s shoulder.

“Jia, wait.”

She turned to him, a question in her eyes. “Tian?”

Without a word, he brought his palm to rest above her cleavage, just on her chest, his brows furrowing slightly in concentration.

Huh?

Li Jia was startled but she didn’t push him away and muttered “Tian, what are you doing?”

With a slight frown, Zhao Tian retracted his hand “There is still evil energy corroding your heart, we need to remove that somehow.”

‘Hm.. maybe I should ask Shenyi next time if she knows anything about this Evil Sect.’

Li Jia took a steadying breath, feeling the lingering warmth of his touch on her chest as she forced herself to stay composed, though her cheeks betrayed a faint blush.

“For that… you could place your hand on my back and feel the energy there,” she muttered, trying to sound casual.

“Why the chest, though?”

Zhao Tian gave her a knowing look, an amused smile tugging at his lips “What wrong with that? I have already seen your assets…”

Li Jia’s face turned an even deeper shade of red, her lips twitching in frustration as she playfully punched his shoulder. “You jerk!” she muttered, but there was no real anger in her voice, only an undertone of affection.

While walking down, Zhao Tian noticed a large number of disciples walking around in a courtyard and sensed two disciples who had traces of evil energy.

Hm?

At the same time, he saw another one with eil energy tainting their souls.

His gaze narrowed in thought ‘It seems like there are a quite a bunch of disciples using evil cultivation technique within the sect.’

‘And none of them noticed them? Elders? Other disciples?’

As Zhao Tian and Li Jia made their way through the winding paths of the sect, they soon reached the bustling cafeteria nestled near a quiet garden within the sect grounds.

The area was alive with morning energy as disciples hurried in and out, grabbing quick breakfasts before their training sessions.

Li Jia pointed “See, there is buffet today.. we can get some from there.”

“Hm..”

Trays of steaming dumplings, sticky rice, freshly brewed tea, and various fruits filled the air with a warm, inviting aroma.

The selection was simple yet satisfying… a classic start to the day for any cultivator preparing for a rigorous schedule.

Li Jia picked out a plate of steamed buns and some sliced fruit, eyeing the offerings as she added a small bowl of congee.

Meanwhile, Zhao Tian casually filled his own tray, grabbing a few savory buns and a cup of strong tea.

After paying with credits, they found a quiet corner by the window, where the sunlight filtered softly, casting a gentle glow on their seats.

Settling down, they dug into their food.

Li Jia glanced at Zhao Tian, who was seemingly lost in thought. “Tian… what are you thinking?”

With a shake of his head, Zhao Tian replied “Nothing… What are you going to do after breakfast.”

Eating her meal, Li Jia spoke “Uh, I am going to rent a cultivation room in the Training chambers.. where the array formation is stronger than in our dorms, so we can cultivate easily with the huge amount of astral energy.”

“If you want, we can share the room.. so we can cultivate quickly.”

Zhao Tian gave a nod and continued eating…

However, at this time, two disciples passed through them and Zhao Tian felt an ominous energy from them.

Seeing their souls, his gaze condensed, ‘The evil energy is higher within them and they are inner court disciples?’

‘And they seem like they are in a hurry…’

He slowly stood up from his table and glanced at Li Jia “Jia, I can’t stay with you today… there’s something I need to handle. I’ll catch up with you later.”

E-Eh?

“Tia-”

But before she could get more than a few words out, he’d already moved, his body slipping quietly between the crowd as he followed the two inner court disciples.
