How can protecting one's wife while she Cultivates, ensuring she isn't disturbed by outsiders, not be considered doting on her?
"[Successfully Doted on Wife! Congratulations to the Host for a random reward: Cultivation increased by five minor Realms!]"
Fortunately, the System did not disappoint Qing Chen's expectations.
This immediately advanced his Cultivation to the fourth level of the Spirit Division Realm.
Although it was only an increase of five minor Realms, the higher the Cultivation, the higher the intrinsic value of each minor Realm.
Further on, one minor Realm of Cultivation could entirely equal one major Realm in the early stages.
For Qing Chen, such a significant improvement from a casual action naturally brought satisfaction, leaving no room for him to find fault with the System.
"May I ask, Qing Prodigy, what have you decided?" Seeing that Qing Chen's thoughts seemed to be elsewhere, completely ignoring him, Zhao Tianyou pressed on.
"A mere Tian Jian Sect is not worthy of my ambition." Given that the Tian Jian Sect had no deep connection or favor with his father, coupled with Zhao Tianyou's earlier attitude, Qing Chen naturally wouldn't give him a pleasant look.
Not worthy...
Upon hearing this, Zhao Tianyou's mouth twitched. He had seen arrogant people, but never one as arrogant as Qing Chen.
However, upon closer thought, it was normal. Qing Chen was, after all, a Prodigy with top-tier talent. How could he not be arrogant to match such a gift?
"Qing Prodigy, that is incorrect. My Tian Jian Sect, in terms of strength, Ranks among the top three of the Ten Great Sects in Great Han. It has produced countless Sword Dao Prodigies and is definitely the most suitable place for you."
No matter how poor Qing Chen's attitude was, Zhao Tianyou could only humble himself, using his warm face to meet Qing Chen's cold shoulder.
There was no other way; a Disciple with a Heaven Rank Supreme Spiritual Root was simply too important to the Tian Jian Sect.
"Not interested. Get out quickly. Don't stay here and disturb my wife's Cultivation." Qing Chen waved his hand.
"Qing Prodigy..."
Zhao Tianyou still wanted to say something, but a sharp glance from Qing Chen immediately scared him into swallowing his words.
It was the first time he had felt such terrifying pressure from a young junior.
This scene made Li Sifan, who was standing by, smile slightly. Seeing Zhao Tianyou so frustrated, he felt a great sense of relief.
Clap clap clap!
Just then, the sound of applause suddenly came from behind.
Li Sifan turned his head and his pupils immediately contracted. Li Sifan had a strong impression of this person; his surname was Sun and his given name was Ji. He was the Sect Master of the Tian Jian Sect.
'How did the Sect Master of the Tian Jian Sect also come!'
Li Sifan truly hadn't expected such a prominent figure to personally visit the Qingcheng Sect for the sake of a Disciple.
"Sect Master." Seeing the Sect Master arrive, Zhao Tianyou became even more humble, quickly kneeling on one knee and bowing with cupped fists.
Sect Leader Sun Ji ignored Zhao Tianyou, not even looking at him, as if blaming him for his inefficiency in not settling the matter after so long.
"..." Zhao Tianyou dared not speak, maintaining his kneeling posture. As long as Sect Leader Sun Ji didn't speak, he wouldn't dare to move.
Soon, Sect Leader Sun Ji arrived before Qing Chen, his presence commanding without anger. "Young friend Qing, if you are willing to join my Tian Jian Sect, I, as Sect Master, can promise you that you will not need to participate in any assessment, will immediately enjoy Saint treatment, and become my Personal Disciple! The Tian Jian Sect will spare no effort to Cultivate you into a future Supreme!"
No need to participate in any assessment, immediately enjoy Saint treatment!
Even Li Sifan, an Elder from another Sect, couldn't help but be tempted by these words.
The Cultivation resources enjoyed by the inner court Disciples of the Ten Great Sects were already beyond ordinary people's imagination, let alone those of a Saint, the highest Rank of Disciple.
Coupled with the identity of a Sect Master's Personal Disciple, it could be said that he would be second to none!
"You want to take me as your Disciple?" Qing Chen smiled.
He could tell at a glance that Sect Leader Sun Ji's Realm was at the fourth level of the Spirit Division Realm, the same as his own strength.
He simply couldn't find a reason to acknowledge him as his master.
"What? Does young friend Qing think this Sect Master is unworthy?" Sect Leader Sun Ji intentionally revealed his Cultivation.
The pressure of the fourth level of the Spirit Division Realm covered the entire Cultivation chamber hall.
Zhao Tianyou immediately felt his body sink, and Grand Elder Li Sifan's knees also bent uncontrollably.
"Hmm?"
Sect Leader Sun Ji did not want to overly crush Qing Chen's prestige and confidence, fearing it would damage his Dao Heart, so he intentionally restrained his pressure.
Unexpectedly, Qing Chen faced his pressure as if nothing was happening, his face calm and unperturbed.
"You are indeed unworthy." Since the person had put his face out for a slap, why should Qing Chen be polite?
He similarly revealed his Cultivation, and pressure surged out like a tide.
'Fourth level of the Spirit Division Realm?!'
Sect Leader Sun Ji, Li Sifan, and Zhao Tianyou all had identical expressions, as if they had seen a ghost.
They only knew that Qing Chen's talent was top-tier, but they didn't know that his current Cultivation could already rival the Sect Master of a Ten Great Sects!
"This?!" Thinking of what he had just said, Sect Leader Sun Ji felt his face flush.
Qing Chen was indeed not wrong; he truly wasn't qualified to take Qing Chen as a Disciple.
At Qing Chen's age, Sect Leader Sun Ji was still a small handyman, his Cultivation...
Thinking of this, Sect Leader Sun Ji steeled himself and spoke again, "It is true that I underestimated young friend Qing. How about this: if you are willing to join the Sect, you can directly become our Sect's Vice Sect Master, what do you say?"
After Qing Chen displayed his strength, the now calm Sect Leader Sun Ji not only did not resent him but instead wanted even more to recruit him into the Tian Jian Sect.
He particularly emphasized, "Although it has the word 'Vice', within the Tian Jian Sect, I assure you, your status, authority, and Cultivation resources will be no different from mine, the official Sect Master!"
To win over Qing Chen, this peerless Genius—no, the peerless Genius among peerless Geniuses—Sect Leader Sun Ji went all out.
An eighteen-year-old Sect Master of a Ten Great Sects...
Li Sifan and Zhao Tianyou exchanged glances, and both swallowed their saliva in unison.
How they wished they could replace Qing Chen.
If such a thing happened to them, they would definitely agree without hesitation.
They believed it wouldn't be long before they could remove the "Vice" from their title and become the official Sect Master.
"I told you, your Tian Jian Sect cannot contain my ambition." Qing Chen reiterated.
He then added, "However, if your Tian Jian Sect is willing to submit to me, I might consider it."
As soon as these words came out, Sect Leader Sun Ji, Zhao Tianyou, and the other person all trembled mentally and physically.
Arrogant, truly too arrogant!
To demand that the Tian Jian Sect, one of the Ten Great Sects, voluntarily submit, and even then, he would still have to consider it...
Even Sect Leader Sun Ji, known as the cold-faced Sect Master, couldn't help but have a subtle, almost imperceptible hint of anger creep onto his face.
He felt that Qing Chen was too conceited, and greatly underestimated the Tian Jian Sect!
He completely disregarded the Tian Jian Sect's thousand-year heritage and him, the Sect Master.
Just at this moment.
A hurried sound of footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.
"Grand Elder, no, something's wrong!"
Li Sifan turned to the newcomer and asked, "What happened? Why are you so flustered? Don't rush, take a breath first, and speak slowly."
"Grand Elder, many flying ships have arrived outside! People from the Ten Great Sects are almost all here, demanding someone from us!"
