-Nearby in the Sacred Flame clan"s grounds-"Oh Tommy, are you sure that it will be ok if you were to not take that academy test?" laying down in a secluded yet s.p.a.cious room, a young woman was laying down in a bed right next to a young man. The young woman was seventeen years old, while the young man was only fourteen.
"Even if I were to miss a countless number of tests, I would do it just to spend a little more time with you. I just hope that you feel the same way about me?" the young man asked the young woman laying down next to him as he gently rubbed her shoulders.
"Tommy, you never do change, but I hope that one day you will actually take your cultivation more seriously. There is no telling how much longer that you can live this carefree lifestyle, especially with your clan always making excuses for you." the young woman said as she kissed Tommy on the cheek before snuggling her head against his chest.
"My clan you say?" locking eyes with the young woman now under him and extremely close, Tommy started to let out some chuckles before stealing another kiss from the young woman. "I am Tommy of the Sacred Flames clan, who would dare defy me?"
"If you say so." not wanting to argue with the young man who clearly had a mind of his own, the young woman decided to put on her clothes as she sat in front of the mirror in the room so that she could tidy herself up.
"Do you really think that I, Tommy woul-" being cut off from finishing his sentence about how formidable and amazing he was, several older clansmen of Tommy"s Sacred Flames clan barged into the room with angry faces.
"Tommy how could you skip the test! Do you realize how bad our Sacred Flames clan looked in front of so many influential individuals within the city?" one after another, the clansmen started reprimanding Tommy like he was a little child.
"You had better get dressed immediately! The patriarch demands that you are to swiftly head towards the academy"s training grounds so that you could at least save our clan some face in front of so many experts!" another one of Tommy"s clansmen called out before blushing at seeing the young woman sitting down still drenched in sweat.
"They are right, Tommy. If you do not head out right now, there may be some consequences that not even you could endure the impact of." the young woman called out to Tommy before smiling towards the clansmen who were clearly uncomfortable watching this scene unfold in front of them.
Tommy was always the playboy of the clan, but these individuals who were in the room now were not the usual clansmen who would be scolding Tommy and escorting him elsewhere. Understanding that all of the so called rumors were actual facts, these individuals all started to blush while keeping their tough poker faces on.
"Fine I will go if uncle really feels that way. But I think we all know that I will not be performing very well at all. I hope that I will be compensated for at least keeping this level of dignity for the clan." Tommy reluctantly said as he got dressed in a clean and sparkling white robe with blue clouds on them.
This was Tommy"s casual wear, yet the clouds represented his carefree att.i.tude, while his shiny robe represented that he came from wealth and would most likely die with wealth as well. This was not something that any of the five great clans allowed their younger generation to do unless during a special occasion which was how many citizens of the city realized that Tommy was given special treatment.
