Chapter 2145: Heavenly Primordial Sage Eyes

”Do you know her?” Tang Shaoyang at first doubted the little girl’s identity as the Spear God’s disciple. He didn’t mind listening to what she said since he had the time. Maybe the little girl truly had something for him.

However, there was one thing he was curious about: the little girl. Why did she ask him to avenge her Master? It looked like she knew he could help her avenge her master. But how did she know that? She came with confidence and offered him the Spear God’s techniques as well as a reward.

”We met more than a year ago. Spear God Bai Lei wanted her to enter the Ice Palace, but she refused.” Bing Ruohan nodded.

The keyword was that the little girl refused to enter the Ice Palace. One of the prestigious sects in the Sacred Realm. But then it made sense for her to refuse to join the Ice Palace. Her master was the Spear God.

”We tried our best to entice her to join the Ice Palace. Then we heard the story from her. She was found by Spear God Bai Lei when she was a baby, and he had raised her ever since. To her, Spear God Bai Lei is more than just a Master, but also a Father. I gave up recruiting her after hearing the story.”

The little girl’s action started to make sense, and he believed Bing Ruohan. She didn’t need to lie over something like this.

”For you to make an effort to take her in. That means she has something special, right? Something like a talent?” Tang Shaoyang started to get the picture of how the little girl ended up coming to him.

Bing Ruohan nodded once more, and Yan Xueyi started getting fidgety. She didn’t plan to reveal her Primordial Sage Eyes. She just wanted vengeance in exchange for her Master’s technique.

The proposal itself was a betrayal of her master, but she was still determined to kill the person who killed her Master. She was presented with the chance right now. She didn’t know when she could meet someone like the person in front of him.

On top of that, this owner was not the only one with power. He was surrounded by strong people as well. Even the Palace Mistress was associated with this owner of the Lotus Moon Pavilion.

”That special talent is...” Tang Shaoyang slowly turned toward the little girl, ”That special talent helps her evaluate someone else’s cultivation?”

”No, that’s not it,” He quickly realized that was not the case. If it were an ability similar to Detection, the result she should get was the Foundation Establishment Realm. If that were the case, she would not come to him with this request.

”I see...” Tang Shaoyang realized what the little girl could see. She didn’t know his cultivation level, but she could sense his energy pool.

He also could see the energy inside people’s bodies, but it was not detailed. His Chaos Eyes provided the density of the energy inside people’s bodies, but that was it. He could not really tell how much energy they had with just that.

However, the little girl seemed to see something he could not see. She could see more details than he could. That explained why she came to him even though she had the Alliance Leader on her side.

”She can see my internal energy, huh?” Tang Shaoyang turned toward Bing Ruohan, checking her reaction. At the same time, he kept an eye on the little girl as well. Both reacted to his guess.

Bing Ruohan was surprised, which seemed to indicate that he made the right guess. However, the little girl panicked, which confirmed his guess.

”I see. She has special eyes...”

Those eyes were not just beautiful, but they were also related to her talent. However, that talent sounded underwhelming for a special talent. There should be more than just seeing the internal energy.

”But there should be more than just that, right? What is it?” Tang Shaoyang asked. There was a reason behind his question. He wondered if those eyes could be granted by the System. If it were something useful, he might try to get it for her daughters.

It was still too early for his daughters for that, but he was preparing for them. He had been preparing a list of talents he could give to them. As a father, he would not push his daughter, but they eventually had to adapt. They needed power to survive, and he was preparing those for them, not for now but later.

”I don’t think it’s appropriate for me to tell you about it. I made a promise to her master that I would not tell anyone about her innate talent. You should ask her instead since she is right in front of you.”

Bing Ruohan let Yan Xueyi make the decision to honor her promise with the Spear God.

”Alright then,” Tang Shaoyang turned toward the little girl, ”I will make a counter proposal for you, little girl. I will avenge your master, but I don’t want your Master’s technique. I don’t need your Master’s technique. I want you to join the Thousand Vows Pavilion instead.”

Tang Shaoyang’s counterproposal surprised everyone in the room. They clearly didn’t expect it from him.

Even Yan Xueyi was also surprised, but then she got confused. She felt like she heard the name of the Thousand Vows Pavilion before, but she could not remember it.

”But of course, it depends on your eyes,” Tang Shaoyang pointed at his eyes, ”It depends on your innate talent. I am not going to take in a talentless nobody. This way, you don’t have to betray your Master’s trust in you, and the Thousand Vows Pavilion will obtain a talented disciple. A win-win for us, no?”

”But again, everything depends on your ability. If it’s just an ability to see internal energy, then there will be no deal between us, little girl.”

Tang Shaoyang could sense Yan Xueyi’s emotions through his Absolute Sense. She was driven by anger, then she was feeling conflicted and guilty as well. That was when he figured out where that guilt came from.

He believed she was trusted with the technique and not to spread it to anyone but her disciple later on. Giving the technique away would break her promise with her father, which made her feel guilty.

Yan Xueyi glanced toward Bing Ruohan, and their gaze met. Bing Ruohan didn’t really know the ins and outs of Tang Shaoyang. It has been almost a month since she surrendered to him, but he had been nice to her and her disciple. On top of that, he helped them to develop the Eternal Ice Heart Sutra as well.

Her impression of Tang Shaoyang was decent if she put aside the fact that he forced them to join the Thousand Vows Pavilion. Maybe it was better for Yan Xueyi, who just lost her father, to join the Thousand Vows Pavilion. She could watch her over if Tang Shaoyang ever tried to take advantage of Xueyi.

Bing Ruohan nodded, signaling her to take the offer and tell Tang Shaoyang about her innate ability.

Yan Xueyi was conflicted. On one side, she wanted to continue her master’s legacy by not joining any faction. On the other hand, she wanted to avenge her master and killed that outsider.

She closed her eyes for a moment and made the decision on the spot. She thought of asking for more time to think about it, but she was afraid of missing this chance.

”I indeed have special eyes. It’s called Heavenly Primordial Sage Eyes, at least, that was what the Master told me. Aside from seeing the internal energy. I can sense danger that will come to me, limited to myself.”

Yan Xueyi could tell that the owner was not impressed with it. That meant she needed to tell him more about her to impress her.

”I am not sure if it’s related to my eyes, but I have superior memory as well. I remember everything I have read, and again, I am not sure if it’s related to my eyes, but I have superior comprehension when it comes to technique. It’s not limited to just cultivation technique, but everything, including the formation, alchemy, and others.”

”However, as I said, my Master is unsure whether that’s related to my eyes, or if I am just born talented. And once more, I can see through the flaws and weaknesses of a certain technique. I am not sure if it’s my eyes’ ability because I can only see flaws in Qi Refinement Cultivator, or sometimes from the Foundation Establishment Realm.”

Tang Shaoyang smiled, ”That’s enough. You are accepted in the Thousand Vows Pavilion. Then we can proceed with the ceremony.”

He was swift with it. The moment he deemed she would be useful for the Thousand Vows Pavilion, he quickly took her in. First, he told her to sign a normal contract to determine whether she was lying or not about her ability. The contract indicated she was not lying, and then he proceeded to the Divine Oath.

It was not only she who took the Divine Oath, but he also took a Divine Oath that he would kill the outsider who killed Spear God Gao Lei. Next, he had Bing Ruohan help Yan Xueyi to settle down.

Bing Ruohan was gladly taking Yan Xueyi with her, bringing the little girl to their hidden base. Once both were out of the room, Avyn and Zara eyed Tang Shaoyang.

”What?”

”You have become quite shrewd, huh? You said you don’t need the Spear God’s techniques, but in fact, you have secured that technique the moment she joined the Thousand Vows Pavilion,” Zara pointed out.

Tang Shaoyang rolled his eyes, ”I would be happy if that little girl were the Alliance Leader. I am not proud of doing this to a desperate little girl. However, you can’t deny the fact that my proposal is much better than hers.”

”Eventually, the Spear God Technique would be registered in the Grandmaster Codex. However, she will be the one who decides who gets to learn it, no? It’s better than handing the technique to me, which makes it an act of betrayal to her master. It’s a win-win for us.”

The Administrator asked him to kill that outsider anyway, the former Executive Administrator Alderman Fiodor.
