Sky Cloud Sect….
In an outer disciple courtyard, a teenager with long black hairs was looking at the moon, he had black eyes, he was neither too tall nor too short his looks were not bad either, even if he cannot be called the most handsome but he still came in the category of handsome, he was actually an outer disciple of Sky Cloud Sect, at present, he was smiling while murmuring something to himself
'Tomorrow I will finally meet the parents of Ba Jing, I have to make leave a good impression on them,' The youth was lost in thought, he was thinking about the knock out innocent looking face of Ba Jing.
The youth was Ye Tian, Organ Tempering stage cultivator who was one step away from breaking through to Soul Strengthening stage and becoming an Inner Disciple.
Ba Jing was an Inner Disciple of Sky Cloud Sect, although it was not because of cultivation base or innate talent but because her father was an Inner Elder this was the reason that many people didn't have a good impression of her, there were also some bad rumors going on about her.
Ye Tian also had a bad impression of her because of the rumors but one day the girl took the initiative to talk to him, she asked for some pointers to increase her sword mastery, Ye Tian agreed meeting her few times he realized that girl was very sweet and innocent, she never gave any trouble to him for demanded any gifts but instead she gave him Qi Condensing pill just for some meager help.
Before knowing it he fell in love with her, as someone who never had a single thought on any woman until now how can he resist that sweet voice and innocent face of the little girl, hence he started to pursue her, and unexpectedly she took the lead to invite him to dinner with her family.
Ye Tian was an orphan with a dark past which led many people to chase him for his life, he had to run and hide from one slum to another to just keep his life but when he was 13 years old, an Inner Sect Elder of Sky Cloud Sect, Elder Ma Fe took him in as a disciple.
He brought him out from the slums saying that he has a special physique, a Diamond Physique, although Diamond Physique is not among the top precious physique and doesn't have any special attribute either but in rarity, it is one of the top physiques, it is known for its defense even without any martial arts once it is awakened, the cultivator can directly resist attacks of another cultivator of same cultivation base easily.
But when someone posses a special physique and it is not awakened then it's like a poor man treasuring a jade ring that's why his teacher asked him to remain in outer sect to avoid unwanted attention while keeping it a secret but for some reason, he told him not to break through to Soul Strengthening stage and instead focus on awakening his physique.
"Huh.. wait I forgot to tell the teacher about tomorrow's dinner .. hmmm okay I will go and tell him right now," After making his decision Ye Tian went to Elder Ma's courtyard, as he was just about to enter the courtyard he heard some sound of two people arguing about something.
'Something isn't right here, is someone threatening teacher?' Thought Ye Tian, He quickly hid his presence and peeked through the window at the back to see what was happening.
As a professional thief until 13 years of age, his skills in hiding his presence can even put professional assassins to shame.
"Elder Ba Jangue the deal was of 300 gold taels and now you are just giving 200 gold taels, it's not easy to find someone with the rare Diamond physique and he is my student on top of that," Elder Ma Fe 's hoarse voice rang in Ye Tian's ears.
"Elder Ma don't give me that, student my ass... I already know once he awakened his physique you were going to sell him to Puppet Sect, because of that physiques impregnable defense the Puppet Sect would definitely give a good price, if by any chance he had awakened his physique then even 3000 gold taels won't be enough for me to buy him.
But it had already been 3 years since he joined the sect, and now he is just one step away from achieving breakthrough to Soul Strengthening stage and there is still no sign of his physique awakening.
And if he breakthroughs and becomes an Inner Disciple then he won't go unnoticed by others anymore, don't forget at that time none of us would get anything," Elder Ba Jangue said while staring at Elder Ma Fe.
"Cough…cough I understand but tell me something, how did you come to know about his physique?" Elder Ma Fe changed the topic.
"Hahahaha… its that idiot himself who revealed it, my daughter once saw him fighting someone in the arena, although his martial arts wasn't that interesting but his defense was exceptionally good considering his realm, my daughter thought that he got some kind of secret martial arts for defense or inheritance so she just found an opportunity and had some sweet talk with him and guess what? that idiot spilled all the beans," Elder Ba Jangue laughed.
"Your daughter Ba Jing, hmmm.. she is smart," Elder Ma Fe said but thought 'what a poisonous woman'.
When these two elders were talking wholeheartedly, there was a pair of fiery eyes looking in their direction, Ye Tian was trying his best to suppress his killing intent.
'Kill' it was the only thought in his mind because never in his wildest dream he could guess that he will be betrayed by two of his most trusted ones at the same time, one was his respected teacher whom he regarded as a father, and as for the other, she was whom he thought of as his first love.
