Along the way, Nightin received a series of information from the woman as they descended onto the ground.
She was the only daughter of the Lim family, one of the five great families of the Clear Blue city who was in charge of the defense. Her name is Selena Lim and she"s the only female general of this city, a fourteen year old young lady at the Martial Spirit second realm.
As they descended onto the ground, Selena asked Nightin politely "Young master, would you consider joining my army? I"m sure that you"ll be treated with high regards with your high talent and cultivation."
Nightin could understand Selena"s thoughts, as a general, it wouldn"t be a surprise that she"s trying to pull in potential youths. While the strongest group in the army might be strong, their potential has been used up with little room left for improvement.
Nightin replied back with respect "I"m sorry Selena, but I"m afraid that I"ll have to reject your offer."
"Who do you think you are! What gives you the courage to speak to the General this way!" It was the rider who had attempted to kill Nightin just now who interjected in.
Nightin ignored him and continued to explain via asking "Selena, have you heard about the Nirvana sect who has been on a rise throughout this time period?"
Selena pouted her cheeks and said "Of course I would have heard of it! It would be weird if someone doesn"t know about the Nirvana sect. Lets stop talking about the formal matters alright?"
Soon, Nightin arrived at the Lim family alongside Selena and her guard. At the entrance of the Lim family were two young guards at the Martial Spirit seventh realm, on their hands were to spears of the low magical grade. This further shows the strength of the Lim family and how they became one of the five great families here.
A Martial Master with such a strong foundation and young age around twenty would still be a second cla.s.s genius even in the stronger sects, yet they"re only low ranking guards in charge of the entrance.
The guard on the right placed his spear to the side and asked Selena "Young lady, who is the sir beside you right now? The family head has issued orders that you aren"t allowed to bring anyone of the opposite sect into the family grounds."
Selena blinked as she clasped her hands and jumped "Oh yea, I forgot to ask him about his ident.i.ty! I"ll ask him right away."
The two guards shook their head as they turned and smiled at each other, it was apparent that this isn"t the first time.
Turning her head to the left, she asked "Young master, would you perhaps share your name at least and where you"re from, if not I"m afraid that I can"t invite you in."
Nightin took out a token and showed it to the guard, it was his personal token as the sect master of the Nirvana sect, the guards should be able to recognise it. Every guard if well trained, should be able to recognise all the important tokens, to avoid bringing any unwanted trouble for the family.
The guard took the token over and looked at it carefully, it was clear that he was well trained in this aspect as well. Soon, his body started to shake as returned the token back with trembling hands "Sect master of the Nirvana Sect, young master Gale, our family welcomes your great arrival."
Selena and her rider, including the other guard stared at Nightin with wide open eyes, the man in front of them was actually the legendary figure who has been staying unknown to the world.
Selena sneaked her hand over and grabbed Nightin"s robe while asking "Young master Gale, why didn"t you be honest with me just now?"
Nightin didn"t know why, but he felt like he had just deceived a innocent young girl as he replied "Okok, it"s my fault alright?"
Selena pouted her lips as she crossed her arms, subsconciously pus.h.i.+ng up her undeveloped bosom, giving all the guys here a feast for their eyes.
The other guard at this time said with respect "Young master Gale, please follow me a I lead you to the guest room not far from here."
Nightin nodded and politely said "That"ll be appreciated."
Soon, they arrived at a guest room which was clearly of a higher quality than the others. The wooden pieces were clean without a speck of dust on them, comfortable materials were used for the chairs and bed, everything else was also made of rare treasures as well.
Nightin understood that the guard was only doing what he"s ought to and didn"t blame him.
The guard slowly stepped out and said "You can take a rest here for tonight." Right when he was about to close the doors, two tiny bottle flew towards him and he caught it within his palm.
Nightin"s voice sounded from the other side of the door as he informed the guard "Both of these bottles contain meridian cleansing pills, with that one pill, your further achievements should be further and the Martial King realm should be possible."
The guard kindly thanked Nightin before taking his leave excitedly, heading back towards his friend who was still on guard duty to pa.s.s him the bottle, it may be a simple task, but it was a huge figure who entrusted him with it.
Back in the Lim family, Selena was currently in her father"s room as she half kneeled there facing her blood related father, they were just like a subject greeting his loyal ruler.
The current Selena had lost her sense of innocence and in place was that of a deadly lotus, covered by hidden sharp thorns.
Selena was wearing a exposing black clothing which revealed her fair shoulders, a black robe covering her cleavage while revealing a fair bit of the top, down below was a short skirt barely covering her a.s.s which gives off her long legs for the whole world to see.
Selena"s father Simon Lim stood there and lowered his head, his gaze fixated on her daughter as he asked "I told you to bring back a prey and you brought back a disaster? What the h.e.l.l are you thinking of!"
Selena"s body shuddered as she replied with a shaking voice "I don"t know why...But I just felt that I must protect him...I wanted to get close to him...I..." Selena was unable to keep up with her explanation as she started to pant heavily.
Simon Lim looked at the portrait of his wife on the wall before sighing "I"m sorry Rose, but I guess our daughter still fell in love in the end."
Selena stood up as she asked her father, her both hands playing around with the two daggers as she asked "Father, can I expose our ident.i.ty to him? I don"t want to be a liar towards him anymore."
Simon coldly replied "Selena, he has to leave by tomorrow morning or I"ll take that heart of his personally and shatter it before your very eyes." Simon may be sounding calm right now, but he was actually struggling within his heart, is he making the right choice for her daughter"s future?
Selena left the room as she said "I"ll leave the Lotus clan in this case, I"ll accompany his side just like a shadow and protect him from harm. If anything mishap ever happens to him, you won"t see me again."
Selena turned around and left the room swiftly, tears were welling up in her eyes as she made the tough decision, one side was her one sided love while the other side is her father.
Simon looked at the portrait and said "I"m sorry Rose, but I guess that our daughter has still decided to go on with the man she loves."
Selena, just like a young bird who has gained independence, soared into the sky and transformed into a elegant beauty.
The next morning, Nightin awoke and saw a young lady lying on his chest, it was Selena as she laid there in the revealing attire from last night. Nightin tried to avert his gaze, only to fail in a futile attempt.
His eyes scanned her delicate fist before looking down to her neck and down to her bosom as his gaze fixated there. Little did he know that Selena who had just woken up was already blus.h.i.+ng and looking at his handsome face.
Right at this moment, the door opened as two figures dashed in, it was the two guards from yesterday as they stood there, rooted to the spot with shock on their faces as their spears dropped on the ground.
Nightin looked up at them before looking down, only to see Selena looking at him as she cuddled into his embrace and laid there like a little cat.
Selena smiled and said "Good morning, Nightin. How did it feel like sleeping with me in your embrace?"
Nightin didn"t know why, but he could feel his heart beating faster and faster with every pa.s.sing second. Even so, he quickly calmed himself down and pushed Selena away while saying "Selena, please mind your actions, we"re of opposite genders after all."
Selena ignored him willfully and said "It doesn"t matter, I"ll make you mine one day. I have talked with my father about it and I"ll be joining you from today onwards."
Nightin who was tidying up his clothes gave her a stare and paused, saying "I have never agreed to bring you along with me, please don"t jump to such conclusions without consulting me in advance."
Selena reb.u.t.ted back "I don"t care, I"ll follow you no matter where you go."
Nightin pushed her onto the bed and threatened "I"ll say this again, don"t you force my hand!"
Selena struggled and tried to break free while screaming "What the h.e.l.l are you doing, the guards are still around, if you really want to, then at least do it when we"re alone!"
Nightin coldly said "They"ve already left since long ago."
Selena looked up only to realise that besides Nightin who was above her right now, there"s no one present.
Nightin turned back and without hesitation, told Selena "I"ll be taking my leave, I"ll emphasise this again, do not tag along."
A purple sword appeared below Nightin as he took off into the horizon, advancing towards the Moss forest still while it"s still daylight.
"Whoos.h.!.+"
Nightin took out without even turning back, he wanted to prove to Selena that he doesn"t care about her as he deceives her, he didn"t want her to get hurt as well.
Even so, never would he have expected that Selena would actually pursue him and stalk him throughout.
Selena gave herself a sly smile as she took out a pair of wings at the n.o.ble treasure rank, the wings were of a light shade of violet as they spread out to the side, her hair turned purple as she took out a mask to cover her face.
"Swoos.h.!.+"
Selena had actually stalked Nightin and somehow avoided his senses with the help of her mask, another n.o.ble treasure which helps to prevent detection.
"Hehe, don"t you even think about throwing me off, I"ll follow you to the depths of the world!"
