3 days later
"master The situation in city has already stabilised."steward qiang reported
"That's good"patriarch lin replied
It had already been 5 days .since the treasure disappeared in forbidden forest .The numbers of cultivators in city had decreases significantly .The cultivators left in city were simply trying their luck to find some leftovers in the forbidden forest.however their strength wasn't great enough to venture deep into forest .The truly strong cultivators were staying in big cities like sword edge city .
It can said that the 4 great families had control over rest of cultivators in the city and crimes done by cultivators had already decreased.it was especially because the cultivators were vary of strong existence in lin clan.
Lin family had promoted about the esteemed female master staying in their clan using kind , compassionate,justice sword etc words to describe her .
Because of fear and respect of the female master . cultivators didn't do anything extreme during their stay .
Ofcourse there were still some people who were bold enough to not care about female master .These cultivators when they met female master .turned weak.before the power of female master their boldness disappeared.
All in all the pile up of reports of complaints and crime of outsiders had decreased hand there were 5-6 complaints reports .it was still manageable by their lin clan's strength.
"Master .the elders from other great families have come again with gifts ."lin qiang
"Let them be "patriarch
In these days many cultivators had come with gifts to meet fairy Huang .first to confirm her existence and second to fawn over her.
On the first day even patriarch of 3 great families had come with intention to build up connection.
Fortunate thing was fairy Huang just appeared amiable and didn't promise anything.
But other families didn't really stop bringing gifts .everyday they brought something different with them . reluctantly fairy Huang accepted their gifts .
But the 3 great families were really trying to please fairy Huang . according to lin qiang
Even elders of their lin family were trying to make private connection with other powerful cultivators within city .They even praised their their descendants in front of fairy Huang trying to build up connection.patriarch was aware of this .but he didn't care .
"Tell me more about tian if he has improved ."lin tao
"Everyday young master is training his body and swinging that strange sword .other than appearing slightly stronger.there is no improvement."
"Isn't fairy Huang by his side."
"That's probably why there is improvement .but even than she also can't do anything if he can't harness earth and heaven's energy"
"Qiang do you think this proposal is feasible ."lin tao showed a letter .
Lin qiang read the whole letter .
"Master could it be .No master that's too dangers "
"What is dangerous about it .This site is already dilapidated and other forces don't seem to care about it .even it's danger level have decreased "
"It's still out of ability for young master .he can't handle it . please don't make rash decision "
"Not if that beast listens to lin tian .and accompany him ."
"Master it's only been 3-4days since that beast is with young master .their connection is still not strong .it is yet to confirm if young master is beast tamer.there is lot of observations needed ."lin qiang didn't said(To become beast tamer cultivation was also needed )
"You are right qiang.however I am getting impatient.i think we can mull over this proposal further "lin tao said and placed the letter in a wooden box
"Master when are you going to tell young master about that letter "lin qiang pointed to certain letter
"Not for now qiang.he is already hurt enough.
Postpone it as much as possible "lin tao instructed
*******
In the herb garden
Lin tian was relentlessly swinging sword in the herb field .on the right corner of the herb field .there was wooden shed .
Rhino and Huang mei was sat there .
Rhino laid sprawled on wooden floor chewing fresh grown herbs .Huang mei sat upon it lazily eating grapes one by one observing lin tian.she had been observing for past 3 days .
She had seen lin tian swinging that sword which he had been unable to carry 4 days ago .from her perspective lin tian was indeed hardworking.however he couldn't cultivate.That single thing had decided his fate .in the future he will be small existence unnoticed by anyone including her .
This single thing had overshadowed all his merits.But she still came to observe him everyday.because staying in her room was boring .Every now and than she would be visited by people who wanted to form connection with her .who wanted her help in someway .it was too much hassle to appear amiable and reject them .she had only planned to be a figure head to help lin family .
But the visits were tiring her out .when she visited new training grounds .male cultivators would look at her with different gazes which made her uncomfortable.the other female cultivators would feel jealous of ask her for guidance.that was a headache too .
Only this herb garden was peaceful for her to do whatever she wanted .lin tian didn't look at her with those indescribable gazes .in fact he didn't even talked .only occasionally giving response to her talk.which was boring too .but she was comfortable.She knew he was just venting his emotions by swinging sword .but this actions were kind of endearing.
"What are you trying to acheive by swinging sword "fairy Huang commented lazily
"I don't know ."lin tian said swinging sword
"You are tiring yourself unnecessarily.there is no technique,no form,no skill .your clans other disciples are better than you....in every way .they have mastered their forms and learned skill ."
Lin tian stopped swinging sword ."fairy Huang you should go watch other disciples practice than .I don't even know why I am doing training.as you said others are better than me .even if I know the skill .I don't know how to execute it . please don't embarrass me "
"You are falling behind everyone .every young disciples thinks you are a failure.you are a pathetic person .that's what they think about you "
"The only thing special about you is you were born as heir to the clan . otherwise they won't even keep you as a foot washing servant "
Lin tian paused than continued swinging sword more fiercely.fairy Huang's words turned offensive.
"No matter how much you train your pathetic existence won't change anything.an unfornutate existence.a cursed person who ate his parents .a disgrace of lin clan.a menace to his own family "
Lin tian suddenly left his sword .the sword flew in fairy Huang's direction.
Ofcourse she easily deflected it .
She looked at lin tian calmly.
Lin tian gazed at her angrily.
"They don't think like that .my clan brothers never make such comments.Please don't exaggerate and humiliate me ."lin tian cupped his hands and bowed .
Fairy Huang was angry at first than changed her facial expression.
"Do you want to be my servant . If you are my servant they won't look down on you .you will also get resources far better than lin clan can provide . accept my generous offer and it will change how others look at you pathetically."fairy Huang said smiling
Lin tian's chest heaved up and down .he looked at fairy Huang and said clenching his teeth .
"Esteemed master the servant you are looking for is not here . please try somewhere else "
"Ohh.i was just being nice .by being my servant you will get to travel with me .my sect has many treasures and resources that can't be found easily.some even legendary treasures that can change person's constitution In future you might even be able to cultivate." Fairy Huang's eyes lit up as she said that .
Without hesitation lin tian replied
"Female master I thank for your generous offer .but I reject it .I would like to continue as young master of lin clan .whether I can cultivate or not .even if I am a pathetic person as you said .a failure ,good for nothing.i still have a pride to withhold."
"Please don't mention anything to my grandfather otherwise he might fight with you .he cares lot about me .so please don't mention this matter in front of him"lin tian
"Hmph what a waste of my good intentions.you only deserve to be a small existence .Be happy being leader of toads in a well.actually you are not even leader.... . Fairy Huang
Lin tian ignored fairy Huang outburst and left .
******
As lin tian left the herb garden he was summoned by patriarch.
In the private quarters of patriarch.
Lin tian bowed to the patriarch.
"Tian come here "
Lin tian got near patriarch.
Patriarch extended his hand and grabbed lin tian's wrist .after a moment he let go .
"There is indeed slight improvement in strength"patriarch sighed
Is miss Huang guiding you ?"
"She is observing my practice .and occasionally make comments to correct my mistakes during practice "lin tian understood patriarch's intention and replied
"Cultivators from sects are more well versed in the art of cultivation.if they guide you there will definitely be improvement .you should keep good relationship with miss Huang"lin tao
"Yes patriarch "
"I have summoned you because there was a proposal I received from somewhere.i have been putting it off because I had no plan of
Following it before .but with your taming of a tier 3 .I think we can consider it again."
"Patriarch it not like that ."lin tian
"I know what you want to say .qiang has reported to me everything.however every big things happens because of small progresses.
It is undeniable that beast listens to you and miss Huang ."
"Miss Huang had denied her ownership on beast .so it naturally belongs to you .That beast can also be considered your strength now .That tier 3 beast with abnormal defense can be considered equal to foundation establishment stage cultivator.That is the minimal requirement for this proposal "
"Patriarch please elaborate "lin tian
"Tian I am about to send you on a mission .a team formed of young disciples to be exact .And you will be it's leader "lin tao eyes blazed as he said.
"Patriarch I don't think I can be leader ."lin tian stopped patriarch in a hurried voice .
"Lin tian now that you have a tier 3 beast on your side .it doesn't matter what they say or think .lin tian you are young master of lin clan with a tier 3 beast .it is also your status and strength.you should use it "
Here is the mission detail .you can go through it .tell me your decision tomorrow.
