Chapter 69: 69 Tantai Ming’s Thoughts
Translator: 549690339
When Jiang Yuan saw Tantai Ming, her gaze also landed on him.
At this moment, her eyes stirred slightly.
Memories from over twenty years ago suddenly flooded her mind.
He looks like him, could he be his descendant?
Jiang Zhenyuan’s handsome face instantly appeared in her mind.
But now, her heart was no longer stirred.
Over twenty years had passed, she was no longer that naive and ignorant young girl.
She understood the difference between mortals and immortals!
Jiang Zhenyuan was but a mortal, with a lifespan of only a few decades.
As for her, she could live for two hundred years, watching generations rise and fall.
With her talent, she would undoubtedly be able to break through to the next realm in the future.
If she could reach the realm of the Sect Elders, living for three to five hundred years was not improbable.
Such a vast difference made her fully grasp the disparity between Jiang Zhenyuan and herself.
It was like the difference between mortals and immortals, which was even greater than the difference in races.
In just a short while, she arrived in front of Jiang Yuan as if moving slowly yet fast.
Behind her was a middle-aged woman who was slightly older.
From a distance, Liu Jie and Liu Rushi were swiftly following.
Tantai Ming stopped in front of Jiang Yuan and lightly asked, “Who are you?
What’s your relationship with Jiang Zhenyuan?”
“I am called Jiang Yuan, Jiang Zhenyuan is my father.” Jiang Yuan responded.
Then he twisted his wrist and showed the white jade token.
“Tantai” was inscribed on it.
She took it and glanced at it for a moment. Hearing the discussions around her, she could not help but furrow her brows.
This token was indeed the one she had left with Jiang Zhenyuan!
The purpose was to give him a chance to renew their relationship, thus some promises were made.
But now, she somewhat regretted it. She shouldn’t have left that token, she shouldn’t have made those promises.
Now it seemed like she was caught between a rock and a hard place!
At this moment, she did not really want to let Jiang Yuan join the Supreme Mystery Sect.
Looking back at that incident now, she felt it was a dark chapter in her history.
A time when her innocent girlhood heart was stirred.
However, she saw that familiar sense between Jiang Yuan’s brows, and her heart softened involuntarily.
Let it be!
Then she accepted the identity token in Jiang Yuan’s hand that belonged to her.
“You can first become a disciple of the outer sect! If you want to become a disciple of the inner sect, you need to break through to the Meridian Breaking realm and participate in the inner sect examination held once every three years.”
“Thank you, Fairy Tantai!” Jiang Yuan said.
Then he pointed to Gu MO and asked, “Could this member of my family also join the Supreme Mystery Sect?”
Tantai Ming glanced at Gu MO and shook her head slightly.
“His strength is not bad, but if he wants to join, he must wait for the Sect Entrance Exam held once every three years; this exam also requires a recommender. Or you can use your Sect Contribution to obtain a special quota for him, so he doesn’t need to wait!”
“Young Master, don’t worry about me. It’s more important for you to cross this threshold of transcendence!” said Gu Mo.
Jiang Yuan nodded, “It can only be this way. After some time, I will obtain a special quota for you!”
At this point, Tantai Ming turned to Liu Jie on the side, “Junior Brother Liu, you take him to report to Elder Wang.”
Liu Jie obediently replied, “Yes!”
Tantai Ming nodded slightly, then turned around and gracefully left.
The middle-aged woman behind her hurriedly followed.
Meanwhile, low discussions could be faintly heard from behind her.
“Oh my God! Fairy Tantai came to the Outer Court, could it be for this man?
What is their relationship?” “Who knows? If you have the guts, go ask Fairy Tantai?”
“Who…who would dare?”
Leaving the crowd, walking on a shaded path.
The middle-aged woman finally spoke: “Young Miss, is he the descendant of that man from all those years ago?”
“Yes, Aunt Mei.” Tantai Ming nodded her head.
“Young Miss, this isn’t right. By letting him stay, if he spreads the word about what happened all those years ago, how will you handle it? Being close to marrying a common mortal, this is a lifelong stain.”
Tantai Ming’s footsteps instantly stopped, her eyebrows furrowing slightly as she fell into deep thought.
She continued: “Also, Young Miss, you are already engaged to Wang Yu from Tianjian Mountain—he carries the body of profound yang and you carry the body of profound yin. If you two become Dao Companions, your cultivation could progress by leaps and bounds—the journey will be wide open—what happens if this matter causes complications?”
Tantai Ming continued to remain silent.
After a long while, she leisurely said, “I made a promise back then. I cannot conveniently break it now.”
“Young Miss! The Path is paramount! If Wang Yu learns about this and breaks off the engagement, it won’t affect him due to his outstanding talents. But for Young Miss, it’s as if half the Path has been destroyed!”
Tantai Ming furrowed her brows tighter, after a moment she sighed softly.
“Let me ponder for a few days.”
As soon as her words fell, she fluttered away.
“Ah!” Aunt Mei from Tantai Ming’s mouth also heaved a sigh: “Young Miss is still as indecisive.”
She promptly followed her.
On the other side.
“Elder Wang, I pay my respects.” said Liu Jie respectfully.
“What’s the matter?” A man who seemed to be in his seventies opened his eyes slowly from his reclining chair.
His eyes were slightly cloudy, but his complexion was extraordinarily rosy.
Liu Jie handed over the white jade token that Tantai Ming had just given him.
“Senior Sister Tantai recommends this young man to join the Supreme Mystery Sect. Please have a look, Elder.”
He leisurely took the token, glanced at it, then nodded toward Jiang Yuan: “You, come here. Let me feel your bones!”
“Yes, senior!” Jiang Yuan replied.
Elder Wang casually placed his palm on Jiang Yuan’s shoulder, then closed his eyes.
His expression turned, looking incredulously at Jiang Yuan.
“Elder Wang, what’s wrong?” Liu Jie asked in surprise.
“Strange, strange!” Elder Wang exclaimed and continued to feel his way down his shoulder.
After a long while, he withdrew his hand and said: “Your qi and blood are full of vitality, your physical body is extremely strong, I’ve never seen such a thing! It’s a shame!” Then he asked: “What’s your name?”
“Jiang Yuan!”
In his hand, a flash of white light shone, revealing a whitish jade token on which the character ‘Jiang’ started to appear.
“Make it recognize you as its master with your blood! After that, you will officially become a disciple of the outer sect of Supreme Mystery Sect!”
Liu Jie suddenly asked: “Elder Wang, aren’t you going to test his spiritual power?”
“There’s no need! With such physical strength and the recommendation from Tantai Ming, why need any test! As for the inner sect assessment, it depends on his own foundation and strength! Both of you, hurry up and wrap things up,
I need to sleep!”
“Thank you, senior!”
Jiang Yuan took the token, activated his qi, and blood force, and squeezed a droplet of blood from his fingertip onto the token.
In an instant, he felt as if there was some unseen connection formed between him and the token.
“This is your identity token. It’s essential for entering or exiting any important places in the sect. You mustn’t lose it! Should you need a replacement, you would have to pay a hundred spiritual stones!”
Elder Wang then said, “Additionally, as an outer sect disciple, you have three follower spots. If you need it, you can get identity tokens for them at the Affairs Hall. After the tokens recognize them as their masters, they can use them to study the Sect’s basic martial techniques and abilities.”
Upon hearing these words, Jiang Yuan face turned joyous: “Thank you, Elder, for the explanation!”
“Alright! Both of you can leave now. Liu Jie, take him to the Class A Institute and find him an empty room!”
Elder Wang waved his hand, signaling the two to leave.
Then he slowly closed his eyes and continued to rest, leaning back in his chair.
Liu Jie bowed lightly, then led Jiang Yuan out of the small courtyard..
