C18 (1/2)

By the side of a remote stream in Myriad Herbs Forest, Tang Lichuan sank into deep thought with his back facing the girl in the green skirt.

Although the green skirted girl had invited him to join the Liu Alliance, Tang Lichuan did not immediately agree. He now knew that there were many alliances within the Profound Dragon Sect, but the alliances were similar to the martial cultivator in that they spoke based on strength. The stronger alliances would definitely receive more treatment within the Profound Dragon Sect than the weaker alliances.

Before he clearly understood the true strength of Liu Family, Tang Lichuan did not want to blindly join the alliance. Furthermore, after joining the alliance, it seemed that not only would there be benefits from the sect, but there was also the threat of enmity towards the clan.

The reason why Tang Lichuan entered the Profound Dragon Sect was not to compete with others, he only wanted to improve his own strength as soon as possible and get recognized by the sect. Without a strong family background, it would be very difficult for Tang Lichuan to quickly rise out of the Profound Dragon Sect.

However, even if he really wanted to join an alliance, he would have to think twice about it and choose the strongest power.

With regards to the identity of the girl in the green skirt, Tang Lichuan did not have any intentions of understanding her, and on the way here, they had merely exchanged their names.

The young lady's name was Liu Xiangyi, and her family's Liu Family was also a rather famous martial arts family. Thus, they were able to create an alliance with ”Liu” as their name.

While deep in thought, the sound of light footsteps came from behind him. ”Thank you, Big Brother Tang, for your protection. I'm fine now.”

Liu Xiangyi smeared some herbs on his sprained leg, and tied a knot on his shoulder with the dress that had been cut off by the two swords of the west gate. Then, he slowly came behind Tang Lichuan and bowed.

His hair was in a mess, causing Tang Lichuan to be unable to see his face clearly. This time, he finally had the chance to size her up, and after looking at her for a while, he realized that although her appearance was not that kind of breathtaking beauty, but she had that kind of tranquil and gentle manner that would cause people's hearts to feel pity for her.

Seeing Tang Lichuan staring at her, Liu Xiangyi blushed and lowered his head: ”Big Brother Tang?”

Tang Lichuan coughed dryly in embarrassment and slowly retracted his gaze. His expression recovered its calmness as he said. ”Since you are fine, then let's part ways here.”

Hearing that, the eyes of Liu Xiangyi, who was looking down at the ground, trembled slightly. A hint of disappointment that was difficult to hide appeared, but Tang Lichuan had already made her decision, she had no position to stop it.

When she noticed that Tang Lichuan had started to move, she suddenly raised her head and said: ”Wait a moment, Big Brother Tang!”

Tang Lichuan turned his head to look at her with suspicion and asked: ”Is there anything else Miss Liu?”

Liu Xiangyi shook his head, he then tidied up the disappointment in his eyes and said: ”Big Brother Tang, we cannot not depend on you for saving my life, I ask Big Brother Tang to accept this item.”

Looking at the small purple sandalwood box the other party handed over, Tang Lichuan did not extend his hand to receive it. Instead, he smiled lightly and said: ”There's no need to return the favor, as long as you do not leak out today's matter.”

Tang Lichuan did not think that the woman could take anything out that would move his heart, because she could tell that Liu Xiangyi's strength was only at the first level of Opening Spirit Stage.

Furthermore, Tang Lichuan didn't want her to repay him with anything, so he shook his head and prepared to leave.

”Since Big Brother Tang has reached the great circle of the Qi Nurturing stage, you'll need this item even more.”
