Chapter 5795
Deep within the Myriad Swords Mountains of the Xuantian Sword Sect
, atop a mist-shrouded peak, in an elegant and refined courtyard, Kai lay reclining in a warm jade pool, eyes closed in respite.
The spiritual liquid in the pool, imbued with a pale blue aura, seeped into his skin, easing the fatigue of his recent travels.
This was a “Cleansing Feast” specially arranged for him by Ling Yunzi—a medicinal bath made primarily of thousand-year-old spiritual milk, supplemented with dozens of rare spiritual herbs, highly beneficial for repairing hidden injuries and strengthening his foundation.
“Senior Chen, is this pressure alright?”
Beside the pool, two beautiful female disciples of the Sword Sect were carefully massaging his shoulders.
Their technique was quite professional; their fingertips carried a faint sword aura, effectively clearing his meridians without causing discomfort.
“Hmm, acceptable,”
Kai replied lazily, inwardly feeling somewhat amused and exasperated.
He had come as a guest, but Ling Yunzi treated him like an honored one, providing him with meticulous hospitality and even arranging maids to serve him.
This made him, a man accustomed to being alone, quite uncomfortable, but out of politeness, he couldn’t refuse.
“That old fellow Ling Yunzi, he’s quite good at handling people,”
Kai thought to himself. “However, the more attentive he is, the bigger his ambitions are probably. He’s probably racking his brains to find out about the Soul Devourer’s whereabouts and the true strength of the expert behind me.”
Just as Kai was pondering how to deal with Ling Yunzi’s subsequent probing, a clear but clearly displeased shout suddenly came from outside the courtyard gate:
“Who’s inside? What an airs! Daring to occupy the Sword Washing Pool and have inner disciples serve you?”
The voice grew closer, accompanied by light footsteps.
Immediately afterward, the courtyard gate creaked open, and a fiery red figure rushed in.
The newcomer was a woman around twenty years old, dressed in a fiery red dress. Tall and slender, with skin as white as snow and features as delicate as a porcelain doll’s, her almond-shaped eyes, in particular, were bright and spirited, yet now burned with obvious anger.
A long sword with a crimson scabbard hung at her waist, the tassel swaying gently with her movements. She was like a burning flame, intense and dazzling.
The moment she entered, her gaze locked onto Kai in the pool and the two female disciples serving by the poolside, her pretty face instantly turning frosty.”Senior Sister Ling Shuang!”
The two female disciples hurriedly rose and bowed upon seeing the newcomer, their expressions somewhat tense.
The woman in the red dress, called Ling Shuang, ignored them completely, walking straight to the edge of the pool. She looked down at Kai with disdain and contempt in her eyes.
“Seventh Rank Human Immortal? Hmph, I thought you were some important figure! Who gave you the audacity to use the Sword Washing Pool of my Xuan Tian Sword Sect? And to order inner disciples to serve you?”
Ling Shuang questioned Kai.
Kai slowly opened his eyes, his gaze calmly sweeping over this uninvited guest. Judging
from her attire, demeanor, and the reactions of the two female disciples, this woman’s status in the Xuan Tian Sword Sect was certainly not low.
However, when had Kai ever needed to curry favor with a mere girl?
“And you are, young lady?”
Kai’s tone was indifferent, even tinged with laziness, as if the angry woman before him was merely an insignificant scene.
“I am Ling Shuang!”
The woman in the red dress raised her eyebrows, even more dissatisfied with Kai’s attitude. “The Sect Master of the Xuantian Sword Sect, Ling Yunzi, is my father! This Sword Washing Pool is only used by core disciples who have made great contributions. What right do you, an outsider, have?”
So she was Ling Yunzi’s daughter.
Kai understood immediately; no wonder she was so arrogant.
He smiled faintly: “So you are Sect Master Ling’s daughter. My use of this pool was personally arranged by Sect Master Ling. If you have any objections, you may go and argue with your father.”
“You!”
Ling Shuang was taken aback by Kai’s lukewarm attitude, then became even more furious. “Don’t try to intimidate me with my father! You must be the one who used your smooth talk to deceive him! A mere seventh-grade Immortal Realm cultivator, and you dare to be treated with such courtesy by the Xuantian Sword Sect? What a joke!”
She grew angrier as she spoke, and even reached for the hilt of her sword at her waist, a sharp sword aura faintly emanating from it: “Get out here right now! Otherwise, don’t blame me for being impolite!”
