Chapter 2280 - 2283: Why Did You Bring Him to the Immortal Domain?

The next day, at the Inner Sect square of the Xuanyuan Immortal Sect.

When Qin Tian arrived here to meet up with the other four, the four of them were already there.

"Out of the five of us, you're the one with the least seniority, and yet you're the last to show up! Hmph, utterly presumptuous!"

As soon as Qin Tian arrived, one Qingyi-clothed man immediately frowned at him.

The man had a square face and sword-like brows reaching his temples. He looked young at first glance, but the lines around his eyes betrayed him—at least two hundred years old.

Judging by the way the other three looked at this Qingyi man, there was no doubt that this arrogant bastard was naturally Mo Ziyang's disciple, Lu Tianlin.

Nice, giving Qin Tian a slap in the face right off the bat. Really making a show of it.

"Exactly. Qin Tian, being lucky enough to go out with us is already an immense blessing for you. Heh. In front of us, if you dare act out of line, Senior Brother Lu will definitely not let you off!"

Beside Lu Tianlin, a man in luxurious robes chimed in.

Qin Tian lifted his gaze. These four people: two men and two women. One man and one woman were standing right next to Lu Tianlin—obviously a team of their own.

The other woman, with an oval face and delicate features, stood a little apart from the three, clearly not part of their little clique. She was probably a disciple of some neutral Elder.

After the man in luxurious robes spoke, the red-robed woman who was also with Lu Tianlin drawled sarcastically, "That's right. In the Xuanyuan Immortal Sect, we value seniority the most. Especially when we go out for cultivation training—anyone who doesn't follow the rules… heh. Especially you, Qin Tian. Among the five of us, your seniority is the lowest. Once we're out, you have to listen to the four of us. Especially Senior Brother Lu—you treat his words like an Imperial Decree, got it? If you don't obey, you might not make it back to the Xuanyuan Immortal Sect so easily."

Damn, threatening me?

Hearing this red-robed woman, Qin Tian instantly got annoyed. He fixed his gaze on her and said, "Senior Sister, what's that supposed to mean? If I don't listen, you're gonna kill me or what?"

"Hehe…"

Hearing Qin Tian's words, the red-robed woman covered her mouth and giggled. "Me, kill you? I'm afraid I'd dirty my hands. You don't listen, and with how dangerous it is outside, someone will take care of you for me. Why would I need to do it myself? I'm telling you to behave for your own good—it's because you're a disciple of the Xuanyuan Immortal Sect that I'm helping you…"

"Oh, then I really should thank you for your kindness…"

Qin Tian's lips curled slightly as he let out a cold laugh, then turned to Lu Tianlin and said, "This Senior Brother should be Senior Brother Lu Tianlin, right?"

"The notice I received said we depart at ten sharp this morning. I've already been here a few minutes; it's only nine forty. I'm not late, and I never got any notice that I had to arrive early or be here before any of you. Just stating the facts."

Once Qin Tian said that, Lu Tianlin's face darkened, clearly displeased.

Seeing this, Qin Tian knew that this trip out for training was not going to be easy.

This Lu Tianlin was obviously here carrying out Mo Ziyang's assignment. If he doesn't make things hard for me, it'd almost be an insult to his master.

But right now, Qin Tian wasn't afraid at all.

Soldiers come, you send generals; floods come, you pile up earth. Wang Tianqing already said this trip would be full of all kinds of encounters. Qin Tian was full of anticipation and had no intention of letting Lu Tianlin ruin his mood.

Besides, even if Lu Tianlin wants to deal with him, he still has to have the ability to do so.

"Hmph, your master should've told you already: when we're out on training, you follow my command."

Lu Tianlin stared at Qin Tian.

Qin Tian nodded slightly. "As for the route, it'll be arranged uniformly by Senior Brother Lu Tianlin."

What he meant was: you're only in charge of planning the route and we'll follow your arrangement. Beyond that, mind your own business.

Lu Tianlin naturally caught the implication between the lines. He snorted and nodded. "Very good. I've long heard that you were the dark horse of this spring's Martial Arts Competition, even defeating Junior Brother Li Tianxuan. And in less than a year you cultivated the Storm Technique to Peak. Hmph, not bad. Besides your strength, looks like you've got quite a temper too. But I warn you, Qin Tian—before me, Lu Tianlin, you'd better not play the thorny tough guy."

"My head never grows thorns. The ones with thorns are roses." Qin Tian said.

"You…"

Getting retorted by Qin Tian every single sentence, Lu Tianlin was instantly pissed.

"Alright, Senior Brother Lu, we're all here. Let's head out."

Seeing the bickering between Qin Tian and Lu Tianlin sour the mood, the pretty white-clothed girl hurriedly stepped in to ease the tension, then turned to Qin Tian and said, "Qin Tian, this is Senior Brother Lu Tianlin, this is Senior Brother Chen Bo, and this is Senior Sister Wang Ping. My name is Guo Yunxiu. This time going out for training, we're basically a team, so we should tolerate each other and have each other's backs."

Seeing Guo Yunxiu speak up, Qin Tian stopped arguing. Lu Tianlin shot him a glare and said, "Since it's about time, follow me!"

With that, he leaped ahead, like a shooting star gliding off into the distance.

Afterward, Qin Tian and the other four followed close behind.

The five of them flew through the sky. Lu Tianlin, Chen Bo, and Wang Ping were clearly closer to each other, while Qin Tian could only team up with Guo Yunxiu.

Qin Tian asked Guo Yunxiu, "Senior Sister Guo, where are we going this time?"

Guo Yunxiu said, "They say we're going to several places, but where we end up going in the end is decided by Senior Brother Lu. Don't worry. This is my second time going out for training. Normally, in the Immortal Domain, there are a lot of strange things and fortuitous encounters—though it's extremely dangerous, as long as our strength is solid, we'll definitely gain something."

...

The five flew out of Xuanyuan Mountain and over Xuanyuan City.

At this moment, in Xuanyuan City, the Immortal Meat House had already been rebuilt.

Beside the Immortal Meat House stood a luxurious manor.

Inside the manor, Qiuye Yuan lightly flicked his White Jade Folding Fan, looking up at the sky and watching the five figures of Qin Tian and the others flying off. He smiled and said, "This time going out for training, the danger Qin Tian faces will probably be far greater than before. I'd say whether he can come back alive is anyone's guess."

"Yeah. But this is something he has to experience. Whether for him or for me, it's very important. When you go out for training, people form cliques, and there's nothing I can do to help him. I can only hope Qin Tian pulls through this ordeal."

Across from Qiuye Yuan sat a white-clothed man, also looking up at the sky where Qin Tian and the others were disappearing into the distance, his expression slightly worried.

This white-clothed man was Xuanyuan Shenyue.

"Last time you had me step in to help him, that was fine. But this time, there's nothing I can do either."

Qiuye Yuan looked at Xuanyuan Shenyue and smiled faintly.

He continued, "Seventh Young Master, I'm really curious. I don't see anything particularly special about Qin Tian. So why did you go to all the trouble of bringing him from the Spiritual Domain of the Lower Plane to the Immortal Domain to use him for yourself, helping him at every turn?"
