Chapter 138: As Long as She Grows Up

Although he did not like this girl, she was a big shot after all, so he had no choice but to bow his head.

Ji Tianxin nodded. "Okay. I agree."

This way, if she needed anything in the future, she would have a place to get it, and it would save her Master the trouble of searching all over the Tianwu Continent for her.

Suqing, however, was so shocked that she was left speechless.

She had thought these two men wanted her master to be a student, but she never expected them to invite her as an honored guest!

This was completely treating her master as a VIP!

Yet, upon second thought, given her master's abilities, it didn't seem to be a problem at all.

Seeing Ji Tianxin agree, Elder Li and Elder Du beamed with joy.

"Then... when will you be heading to Yufeng Academy?"

Ji Tianxin frowned slightly, appearing to be deep in thought.

"It's fine. Whenever you feel like going, just head over." Elder Li stepped forward and handed Ji Tianxin a token.

Inscribed with the characters "Yufeng Academy," the token was forged from a black metal of unknown material, but it was obviously no ordinary object.

"This is the token for an honored guest of our Yufeng Academy. If you come one day, just present this token directly. Or, if you need anything, you can also go to our Yufeng Academy branch stations in any country to withdraw supplies."

Suqing glanced at Ji Tianxin, then stepped forward to accept it.

How strange it was that every time her master made a trip to the Yu Kingdom, someone would hand her a token.

First it was the young Prince Rong, then just now it was a jade pendant, and now it was a token from Yufeng Academy...

A subtle flicker crossed Ji Tianxin's eyes, and the corners of her lips curved slightly. "Good."

With that, Ji Tianxin tapped the tips of her toes and flew away.

Seeing this, Suqing immediately followed.

The mistress and servant quickly vanished from the two elders' line of sight.

"Old Li, giving her that token right now might not be a good idea." Elder Du frowned, showing his disapproval.

"What do you know? This little girl has boundless potential in the future. Besides, can you tell what her cultivation level is?" Elder Li retorted.

"I can't." Although dissatisfied, Elder Du had no choice but to answer honestly.

"So whether she has reached the Return to Truth realm is still unknown. What if she's already at the Formless realm?"

"That's absolutely impossible!" Elder Du said decisively.

"Even if it's not the Formless realm, the Return to Truth realm already makes her an peerless genius. Over all these years, have you and I ever heard of a child under the age of ten whose cultivation could reach the Return to Truth realm? Even among those fellows in the major sects who single-mindedly cultivate and seek the Martial Dao, we've never heard of anyone reaching the Lucid Orifice realm before the age of ten. Who knows what height this little girl can reach after a little more time?" Elder Li stroked his beard as he spoke with a sigh.

Elder Du's expression also turned somewhat solemn. "But... what if she attracts a lot of trouble?"

"There is no such thing as a sure-win investment in this world; it just depends on whether your choice is worth it or not. And this child—do you really think she won't be worth it?" Elder Li cast a sideways glance at Elder Du.

Elder Du remained silent, but he nodded nonetheless.

"Furthermore, didn't you say that fierce beasts do not easily acknowledge masters? Look at how obediently that fierce beast is curled on her shoulder; it's obvious it has already become that little girl's possession." Elder Li had originally harbored some thoughts about the small fierce beast, but after seeing them just now, those thoughts had vanished entirely.

"True." Elder Du also lowered his voice. "It's just that various factions are searching for her right now, so she might be in a bit of trouble."

Elder Li nodded and said in a low voice, "Right now, the only ones who know the fierce beast is in her hands and know her true identity are us. As long as we keep this secret for her, a few years from now, once she and the fierce beast have grown, how many people in this Tianwu Continent will still be her match..."
