A talk with the Sect Master [2]

Finally, Zhao Tian let out a faint sigh and leaned forward slightly, meeting her gaze. "And if I am? What do you intend to do about it, Sect Master?"

Ji Shuang smiled faintly, "Do you think I brought you here to threaten you, Zhao Tian?"

"You wouldn't be the first," Zhao Tian replied evenly.

Ji Shuang chuckled softly, shaking her head. "If I wanted to harm you, Zhao Tian, I wouldn't have hidden your crossing of the 10th degree. I would have exposed it to the world and let your enemies deal with you."

Zhao Tian gave a faint nod "Figured that much... Then why bring this up now?"

"Because I want to help you," Ji Shuang said simply.

"The Honoured One's path is one of unparalleled hardship. The heavens will not allow your existence to go unchallenged, and neither will the forces that once opposed the original Honoured One. You'll need allies... and guidance to survive."
