Do You Think Your Master Is That Kind Of Person Too?

Ling Tian left the room quietly, leaving Li Fengyuan to learn the basic knowledge about the Way of the Sword.

"Aren't you guys resting?"

Ling Tian asked as he saw two people on the deck of the ship, casually looking at the dark sky and sea of stars along with a moon that radiated a peaceful and soothing feeling.

"Master."

Shin Wei turned and nodded with a smile to Ling Tian. Xuanyuan Ling beside him nodded in the same manner still with that expression from before.

"Well, I've mostly recovered and Ling'er has too, so we decided to take a look outside and keep an eye out for any trouble." Shin Wei replied to his previous question and after giving Ling Tian a scan of him added with a slightly playful and mischievous expression, "Master, so quickly finished your activities?" His eyes were filled with a mischievous glint that he tried to hide.

Xuanyuan Ling said nothing but looked at Ling Tian, the latter feeling as if her gaze became slightly more direct and seemingly questioning.

Both of them had seen Li Fengyuan heading towards Ling Tian's room in a daring and sensual dress. They could imagine what would happen.

"What nonsense are you talking?" Ling Tian's expression changed and a smile that was not quite a smile appeared on his face. Gently patting Shin Wei's shoulder, Ling Tian asked, "You also think your Master is that kind of person?" His smile widened further and the strength in his hand on Shin Wei's shoulder increased slightly. He knew that Shin Wei was playing and teasing him, so Ling Tian also confronted him with a superior front.

"No, no, no! I just thought that Master might have other thoughts!" But Shin Wei quickly shook his head and his face became fearful and frightened. Shin Wei felt shivers as he saw Ling Tian's smile and felt his shoulder being squeezed fiercely by Ling Tian's hand. Beads of sweat from fright appeared on his head as he casually recalled when Ling Tian scolded them for misbehaving.

Despite this, Shin Wei never raised a guard against Ling Tian, let alone turned away, as if he was a small child being scolded and punished by his parents.

Ling Tian raised his eyebrows and looked at Shin Wei's embarrassed complexion, a feeling of warmth and affection filled his heart as he remembered that this young man still respected him at this moment as in the past and did not hesitate to drop his defenses even though he was being scolded and could easily get off. Ling Tian could remember the past and how all those children would receive his scolding without rebelling, except for a few of them, but despite that, they would all always listen to him and nod without exception.

Loosening his grip on his shoulder, Ling Tian let out a wry and slightly embarrassed sigh as he realized his disciples' thoughts about him with the topic regarding Li Fengyuan and becoming his personal maid. He was not surprised that they would think about him that way, he would think so too upon witnessing it.

"I didn't take Li Fengyuan as my maid just because she is beautiful and I wanted her body..." Ling Tian shook his head and smiled calmly, "I took her under my protection because I noticed her special aura and knew that she is suitable for the Way of the Sword, so I want to educate her and teach her what I know, more so knowing her current situation. Although she is my servant in such terms and it is to be known that maidservants would have to please their Master in the nights, she won't be that kind of servant let alone I will be that kind of Master."

Ling Tian looked sincerely at Shin Wei, he rubbed his hair and then raised his left hand, pointing to his wedding ring on his ring finger, saying, "Besides, I'm already married!" His gaze shone with honesty and love as he remembered those wives of his who were not with him at this moment, beginning to remember them and longing to be with them.

"Don't worry, Master. I will never think wrong of you and I am sure my martial brothers and sisters won't think wrong either. Besides, for my part as a man, I wouldn't think badly of you if you wanted to have a maid especially for that purpose..." Shin Wei shook his head and likewise spoke with a sincere and firm tone, showing Ling Tian that he really didn't think wrong and simply wanted to tease him.

Every man could never resist the temptation of beauty, especially if he was alone, far from his lovers.

Ling Tian smiled softly and thanked Shin Wei for his understanding and thoughts towards him. Although he didn't care what other people thought, he would care a little about the thoughts of his loved ones, his family.

Ling Tian approached the edge of the ship and looked at the beautiful and peaceful scenery in the night on the horizon, remembering countless things as the cold but soft wind blew on his face, blowing some long strands of his hair. Ling Tian and Shin Wei did not notice that Xuanyuan Ling's expression changed after hearing Ling Tian clarify the matter with the maid and finally a slight relieved smile was painted on her beautiful face, as if something that bothered her had disappeared.

"Master." Shin Wei also looked at the beautiful night and asked, "That sword maid of yours that you mentioned before we left, she is one of our martial sisters too, right?" Shin Wei was smart and knew that although Ling Tian might make these classifications, he considered them all as disciples and family, so he could understand Sheng Mei's weight in his heart, "If I remember correctly you said that she is called Sheng Mei, right? Did you meet her in the Immortal World? How is she?" Shin Wei asked curiously, knowing that he had another sister, including her in his heart as well.

Xuanyuan Ling twitched her ears and listened attentively, keeping her gaze on Ling Tian.

"Uhm. Her name is Sheng Mei." Ling Tian kept that nostalgic smile while still looking at the night scenery and said, "I met her on a continent of a somewhat small world when I traveled among the lost or dead worlds as I was pursued by powerful experts when my power had not yet reached the top. Her situation at that time was on the verge of death and I saved her. At first she was so depressed and sad that she even ignored me, all she wanted was to die it seemed. But as time went by I took care of her and accompanied her in her time of pain and she started to open up to me and finally recovered. She told me about her past and didn't know what to do, so I told her there was more to do and discover. Then, as her meridians were shattered and it would take some time for her to recover, I taught her about my sword skills and techniques so that she would learn something without the need of Chi, but it was there that I discovered that she would advance very fast and become very strong with every small achievement and understanding about the sword..."

Ling Tian remembered about Sheng Mei's ability when using the sword and sighed with pride and even a little envy. Sheng Mei really had an ability to understand the sword and wield it amazingly, so amazing that it even surprised him at the time. But despite this, Ling Tian felt more pride and happiness for her.

Xuanyuan Lin blinked in surprise and Shin Wei imagined Ling Tian's state at that moment, knowing that traveling between worlds was almost impossible and over very dangerous. Undoubtedly, what Ling Tian said calmly and easily, might be nothing of the sort and Shin Wei could think of the terrible existences of those enemies if Ling Tian said they were powerful experts.

"So, she is not in the Immortal World with you and our other martial brothers and sisters?" Shin Wei asked after pondering Ling Tian's words.

"No, unfortunately." Ling Tian shook his head and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, "Before I could do anything, the enemies who were chasing me found me and did not hesitate to shoot at once. Fortunately Sheng Mei was not with me at that time so she was saved, but that battle was so terrible that it even destroyed the space in the surroundings and we ended up in the void. With my knowledge of the Space Principle and the Mysteries of the Void Dimension I managed to escape and return to the Immortal realm while my enemies died in the void and we were still fighting. I tried to return to that world to look for Sheng Mei for a few years but I couldn't do it... even when I reached the Supremacy in the Immortal realm I still couldn't return to that world, much less find her..."

Ling Tian hoped that nothing bad had happened to Sheng Mei. She was like a sister to him after they had shared time together and just as he helped her to rise up, Sheng Mei made his path clear so he wouldn't get lost and wouldn't completely forget what he was fighting for.
