I alone am the Honoured One! - Chapter 627
Chapter 627: Love him?
*knock*
Hearing a knock on her door, Li Jia walked to the room’s door and opened it with a smile on her face “Tian…”
As the door opened, Zhao Tian barged in and closed the door. *thud*
Eh? Li Jia was startled as he hurriedly took her in his arms and she instinctively coiled her arms around his neck “Tian.. what happened?”
Carrying her in his arms, he hurried to the bed and tossed her down.
Li Jia rolled on the bed to sit upright and rubbed her ass in mild pain as she raised her eyes to look at Zhao Tian “Tian?”
Zhao Tian quickly began to remove his clothes and seeing this, Li Jia let out a sigh “If you are horny, just say so…”
Smiling Zhao Tian got on top of her and hastily began to remove her clothes “Hahaha.. jerk wait.. I will remove it myself.. Mngh~”
…
*creek* Stretching her arms, Rui Lian stepped out of her training room and glanced at her Master who was sitting on the bench in training ground, looking at the tablet in her hand.
With a smile tugging at her lips, Rui Lian approached her. “Master…”
Hm? Yan Zijin’s sharp gaze lifted from the tablet, her expression softening into a small smile. She gestured to the bench beside her. “Come and sit.”
Sitting beside her on the bench, Rui Lian asked curiously “So how is he, Master?”
With a nod, Yan Zijin spoke “He is the most talented person I have ever seen. In just 22 years of age, he has reached this cultivation level, has affinities to four elementsls, and stepped into the realm of swords.”
“It’s not just his talents, Lian’er. His control over astral energy and his elementals is terrifyingly precise. He makes what others struggle with look effortless. Such mastery at his age… it’s almost unnatural.”
E-Eh? Rui Lian was taken aback to hear that and her quivered in admiration “I see…. ”
Yan Zijin glanced at her and looked at the admiration in her eyes “Lian’er… what do you think of Zhao Tian?”
Hearing the question, Rui Lian tilted her head in confusion “I think he is a nice guy and a prodigy.”
Yan Zijin shook her head with a smile and asked “No, I mean.. like do you like him romantically?”
Huh? Rui Lian was taken aback to hear this and a slight blush crept on her cheeks “No, No, No.. what are you saying Master?” she stammered, her voice pitching higher than she intended.
With a faint giggle, Yan Zijin spoke “It’s just that earlier, you stood up for him in front of Xi’er. I couldn’t help but wonder… perhaps you harbor some secret feelings for him?”
Taking a soft breath, Rui Lian spoke “It’s not like I love him romantically, Master.”
“I respect him as a person as he saved me while I was in his star and helped me. All I have is gratitude toward him.. and I see him like a brother.”
Hearing this, Yan Zijin’s gaze squinted “I see. That’s unfortunate because I was thinking of arranging an engagement for the two of you.”
What? Rui Lian was dumbfounded to hear this “Me.. marrying Zhao Tian?”
With a nod, Yan Zijin spoke “Mhm, your grandfather asked me to take care of you after all.”
“And Zhao Tian has a great personality and was diligent in his training… he also got extraordinary looks. So I thought he would be the best man I could find for you.”
Rui Lian shook her head helplessly “Please don’t ask about this to Zhao Tian, Master. I am sure he also sees me like a sister.. as he is so polite towards me.”
Yan Zijin giggled softly and at this time, she remembered something “Oh, yeah.. Zhao Tian is getting married to another woman.”
-_- Huh? Rui Lian was quite confused “He is getting married…?”
Follow new episodes on the "N0vel1st.c0m".
Nodding her head, Yan Zijin replied “Sect Master has arranged a marriage for him within the Jade Royal family.”
Rui Lian’s lips twitched in deibelief “He is already going to get married and you suggested I marry him too?”
Hm? Yan Zijin raised an eyebrow “What’s wrong with that? Powerful men tend to have many women.. and with a prodigious talent as Zhao Tian, he deserves it in my opinion.”
“In fact, I heard he has a lover among Outer disciples.”
Rui Lian’s gaze squinted in thought and she remained silent.
Wait. Jade Royal Family?
With confusion on her face, she asked “Master? Who in the Jade Family is he marrying?”
Yan Zijin sighed deeply, her expression growing somber “Zhou Hanyue.”
HUH? Rui Lian’s eyes shrunk in utter horror “Master.. Isn’t she….”
A soft sigh escaped Yan Zijin’s lips “Yeah…”
“Why is he marrying her?”
…
“Why are you marrying her?”
Li Jia who was lying on the bed beside Zhao Tian, yelled in surprise as she looked at him.his hands hugging her shoulders.
Zhao Tian let out a soft sigh and began to explain why the sect master arranged this marriage.
Li Jia’s gaze squinted in irritation “Tian… you know about her, right? Everyone here knows about the Cursed Bride…”
With a nod, Zhao Tian replied “Yeah.. I heard some stuff about her.”
She pushed his hand away, standing abruptly from the bed “I’m telling this to Sister Shenyi, jerk.” she muttered under her breath, her frustration spilling over.
“Jia…” Zhao Tian’s muttered, as he watched her begin to gather her robes.
“This marriage is just a formality-”
“Just a formality?” Li Jia snapped, spinning to face him.
“Do you even hear yourself? You’re marrying a woman who might be cursed, and you’re acting like it’s some simple mission!” She hastily threw on her robes, tying them in place with quick, irritated movements.
“I don’t trust this, Tian. And if you won’t listen to me, then maybe Sister Shenyi can knock some sense into you.”
Before Zhao Tian could respond, she was fully dressed.
And with that, she disappeared, leaving Zhao Tian sitting alone on the bed.
A faint smile tugged at the corner of his lips despite the tension in the air. “Always so fiery,” he murmured to himself, shaking his head.
