Transcending Limits

"Cough." His lips curled up thinking of the heart warming time, but he coughed to cover it up and waved his hands.

"I was tasting the best delicacy of the world." He thought back to the sensation of Xiao Lian"s lips and a thoughtful smile formed on his face, which is of course, by Leng Yue Yan"s standards, perverted.

"Who is that unlucky girl?" She rolled her eyes.

"Eh? I"m gonna introduce her to you, someday." He smiled at her.

"Are you serious?" Leng Yue Yan could hardly cover the rage in her voice.

She didn"t know why she was so angry. He was not even chasing her anymore. They are….back to their first relation, battle comrades.

Then why?

Sheng Tian raised an eyebrow. He could already feel the thick killing intent directed at him. But he wasn"t a man who tends to ignore such things.

With a smile that was not really a smile, he dashed towards the Portal gate.

"If we are late, your master and my Old Fellow would be in trouble."

"Huh?" Shocked by the revelation, she followed him out.

The matter about the girl was already pushed back….at least for now.

" What? That shameless little b.a.s.t.a.r.d"s profound energy might come out at the top ?!" The Shameless Old Man exclaimed in disbelief.

"Big Brother, manners. He is your disciple." Sect Master Bing Ying said, her eyes were not smiling.

"Haha. I was just joking, he is my grandson. I absolutely love him." Sweat trickled down his forehead as the Old Man tried to save himself from another round of scolding.

Fortunately, someone did it for him.

"Master, Wushang requests your audience." A sharp voice sounded from the door.

"Why would she come to the Sect Master residence now?" The Old Man tapped his chin and wondered out loud "She can"t be infatuated with me to the point she can"t live without me, right?"

"She is your younger generation." With a bone chilling stare, Bing Ying said.

"Of course, she is. Ai, but what should I do if I am so awesome that even younger generation falls for me? Besides, an experienced man is always better, no?" A perverted smile formed on his face.

"You—you didn"t change!" Bing Ying suppressed the torrent of anger and waved her hand "In"

Wushang slowly entered the small, yet magnificent Sect Master residence.

It was a simple house made of ice. She strolled in the hall and bowed to the two people seated on the chairs.

Bing Ying raised an eyebrow.

"Master, the Elders sent to Eternal Frozen Land didn"t make it." Wushang said in her cold voice, but it seemed to carry something else…..apprehension.

"Oh?" The Old Man raised an eyebrow. "Ten middle level Emperors gone without a trace or message?"

He knew how dangerous this was.

"There was a single message." Wushang raised her head, but her eyes looked down.

Somehow, he had a very bad feeling about all this.

"And It is?" He hoped for some clues.

"Run." She said, still unable to recover from the shock she felt.

"That"s it?"

"Yes. That"s the only thing they"ve managed to say before the link broke or…"

Or they died.

She didn"t say it out loud, because she knew these two people would be able to guess as much.

"Run, huh?" A rare seriousness rung in his voice and face.

His eyes gazed into the distance, beyond the sect and seemed to penetrate the Forbidden Land that laid on its border.

What is hiding there?

"We"ll put that matter aside for now. We need to prepare for the Dragon Prodigy Champions.h.i.+p." Bing Ying said, her tone without question.

"Yes." Wushang sighed.

No matter how much they secluded themselves from the worldly matters, politics is something entirely different.

If the Sect didn"t perform well in the tournament, then they would be looked down upon and even laughed at.

Worse, their disciples will be bullied by the rest.

Such Younger generation could never be able to hold their heads high and lead the sect in the future.

Without tempering, even a great sword would rust.

A loud bell rang. The disciples returned.

"I hope Yan"er is alright." Wushang stood up and excused herself.

"She"s worried for that Leng girl." Looking at her hurried footsteps, the Old Man muttered.

"Of course. She cares for her disciple, unlike a certain someone." The Middle aged beauty snorted.

"Care for my disciple? That little b.a.s.t.a.r.d! I bet he was the one who stole my three pillars!" At the mention of the pillars, the Old Man"s pitch raised and he gnashed his teeth.

"Yet you still let him get away with it." She rolled her eyes.

The Main reason for tolerating Sheng"s unruly behaviour was his Master.

"Tsk. He could hide it. So he deserved it." The Old Man slumped into his seat and sighed.

"You were going to give it to him anyway in 2 years. You won"t live past that. How long do you want to hide it, Big Brother?" Her voice turned frosty and she looked at him with a gaze she never used.

Betrayed look.

"I—" he felt as if a lump was caught in his throat.

Though he acted carefree and shameless, he never revealed the truth. But he still couldn"t let this matter continue. It would only lead to disaster for her and the sect.

"Sect Master Bing Ying. I"m still the Grand Elder. You have no right to question my personal life." He stood up and prepared to leave.

"I didn"t ask you as a Sect Master! I asked you as the girl who grew up with you! I asked you as the girl who foolishly loved you! Is this what you wanted Big Brother? You never knew how I felt?" Her shouts came to a stop, as sobbing sounds ensued.

His shoulders dropped.

With an exhausted expression, he turned back.

The woman standing behind him was not the Ice Cold Sect Master everyone feared. She was a woman who was hurt by her own feelings and the man she gave her heart to.

Despite his cultivation, his appearance was already that of an Old Man. Rightfully, he should have been middle aged like Bing Ying.

Yet, some actions leave marks that never fade. Such as the battle three years ago.

It changed his life forever.

If he was still young, perhaps he would have taken her in his arms and consoled her, like he did all those years ago when they were kids.

But now, there is no turning back.

He would not wish for the girl he saw grow up to be with an Old Man. Even if that Old Man is him.

Looking at her face wet with tears, he looked down at her eyes and poked her nose "What are you talking about? I"m already an Old Geezer. You deserve a Hero, little sister. You deserver better. I am not worthy."

He turned around to leave. Never did he expect her to hug him from behind.

Her tears didn"t stop. Like a dam burst, they continued to wet his vest.

"I don"t care if you look Old or Young. I only wished for you. I didn"t dare to ask anything till now, but please let me indulge in my selfishness for once. I want to spend these two years with you, day and night. I beg you. If we can"t live together, at least let us—."

"If you promise not to do anything stupid after I"m gone." He relented, not to her reasons, but to her emotions.

"Sheng Tian and Leng Yue Yan request an audience with Sect Master." A calm voice sounded, bringing with it the vigour of youth and wisdom of old.

Bing Ying loosened her grip and wiped her tears. Her face turned ice cold.

The Old Man took pleasure in Sheng Tian"s misfortune.

Interrupting their private time, hehe, this brat is gonna be doomed.

With a smile, he sat beside her.

"Enter." She said, her voice incomparably cold.

Soon, they saw Sheng Tian and Leng Yue Yan walking in side by side.

Bing Ying was about to lash out him with some random reason. But the look in his eyes and the playful smile that hung on the corner of his lips, somehow made her feel unease.

It was as if, he knew everything that happened just now.

"Impossible." She told herself, but the way he looked at her and her Big Brother was really odd.

It was a teasing look.

"Brat!" The Old Man was first to speak, unable to control his anger at Sheng Tian"s disrespect.

Does"t this guy know to respect other"s feelings and privacy?

Sheng Tian tensed up or at least pretended to. He bowed with Leng Yue Yan.

"I can help you guys." He declared, shocking the two Seniors in the room.

"What do you mean? Lying to Sect Master is enough to give you a hundred deaths." She narrowed her eyes and the room fell silent.

"Then I would have died millions of times by now." Commenting mentally, he made a serious expression and turned to the Ice G.o.ddess.

Unknown to himself, his voice turned a bit gentle "Can you give two drops of that thing we collected? I promise to pay you back in the future."

"No need to repay. I already owe you a lot." She shook her head and two jade containers appeared in her palm.

Inside them was a green liquid that shone with vitality.

"Spring"s Nectar!" Bing Ying gasped. Her aura fluctuated violently.

"Are you crazy to show such a precious thing to others?" The Old Man glared and scolded.

Sheng Tian smiled. Indeed, this guy was worth the effort. All of it.

He threw them at the Grand Elder and Sect Master, who caught the continuers with utmost care.

"Idiot. This is peerless treasure. Why throw it?!" The Old Man cursed.

But Sheng Tian could see a light flicker in his eyes. The light of hope.

However, neither did he open the container nor did he store it. Instead, he looked up at Sheng Tian and narrowed his eyes. His voice turned cold.

"How did you know my medical condition? Who are you?"

There was silence. A dangerous one.

Finally, Sheng Tian sighed deeply.

"I don"t mean any harm, Old Man. I knew it when I saw you for the first time. I also knew you were an expert. I just wanted to join the sect for,…" he paused to look at the Ice G.o.ddess and continued "personal reasons."

Leng Yue Yan"s eyes widened.

So, he was here for me after all. She didn"t know what to feel at that moment.

"So, you tricked me into accepting you as my disciple?" His voice was filled with obvious displeasure.

He seemed to care more about the disciple he took than restoring his youth.

Sheng Tian mused over their first meeting "I wasn"t really looking for someone like you back then. I said I just wanted to join the Sect, you insisted that I be your disciple.. But who could"ve thought that you would garner my respect today."

He shook his head and sighed "What a pity.." His voice trailed off.

"What?" The Old Man asked instinctually.

"You happen to be a Perverted Old Man than a beautiful G.o.ddess." Sheng Tian sighed the sigh as if the world betrayed him, as if everything he knew was a lie.

The Old Man deeply looked at Sheng Tian and started laughing. "Hahaha." It was a hearty laughter.

In fact, it was more than just laughter. It was acceptance.

Neither did he ask how Sheng Tian knew his condition, nor did he reproach his words.

He knew that the promises of the young man could be trusted. He might be mischievous, even arrogant but he could count the future of the sect on his shoulders.

He tossed his container back at Sheng Tian, who caught it in surprise. "I don"t need that brat. Though I hate to admit it, you are way more talented than I am. If you use it, then our Sect would benefit the most."

"Brother…." Bing Ying whispered, her voice panicky.

Even if his explanation was more reasonable, she couldn"t help it. Emotions are not rational.

"It"s alright." The Old Man waved his hands, declaring his decision as final.

Bing Ying sighed and got up to return her container as well. Sheng Tian stopped her and put the one with him in her hands.

"If you really consider me as a disciple, accept this. If you don"t, that miracle liquid will be mixed in the soil the next second."

"You…." The Old Man looked deep into Sheng Tian"s blue eyes. He calmed down. But he didn"t drink it. Probably, he thought of returning it to him someday.

"You probably didn"t know, but the Senior Elders are already planning to overthrow you."

Those words were like a thunderclap as both Bing Ying and Futian stood up in shock.

"It"s true." A shrilled voice sounded, a group of Old Men and Women appeared at the door.

"Hand over that liquid and roll out of here." The auras of five OverLords shook the ground as a humungous pressure instantly made Sheng Tian and Leng Yue Yan collapse on the ground.
