How did I, a mere servant, become the father of the sect leader's child?

The inner sect of the Tai Xuan Sect.

After Ye Changtian forcibly seized Bai Yaoyao's Azure Lotus Token, he had a lot of free time for the next two days.

The first two days of the trial selection.

Ye Changtian first crippled Chu Yueshan with a single sword strike, and then fought Bai Jinghan, demonstrating extremely terrifying strength.

In the present day, no one in the Tai Xuan Sect would be foolish enough to challenge Ye Changtian.

And a new rule was added to the trial selection.

Ye Changtian is no longer able to take the initiative to challenge others.

These two days.

Ye Changtian was almost always served by Yu Linglong and Luo Youyou, drinking tea and basking in the sun in the courtyard while keeping an eye on the changes in the trial rankings.

"Tsk tsk..."

"Bai Jinghan is indeed quite capable; he managed to get Bai Yaoyao promoted again."

Seeing Bai Yaoyao's name reappear on the list, Ye Changtian couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.

"Although Bai Yaoyao's peak Foundation Establishment cultivation level may be exaggerated."

"But Bai Jinghan, this doting brother, has equipped her with a lot of top-grade magic treasures. As long as Bai Yaoyao unleashes these magic treasures and bombards her, there probably won't be many people below the Golden Core stage who can withstand it."

Yu Linglong was not surprised by this.

"Since he dotes on Bai Yaoyao so much, isn't he afraid that she will perish in the Azure Lotus Secret Realm?"

Ye Changtian looked on with curiosity.

Although the Azure Lotus Secret Realm is full of opportunities and even has the inheritance of a sword immortal, it is also extremely dangerous.

Each time the Youth Secret Realm opens.

The number of disciples from the three major sects who perished there was not small.

With Bai Yaoyao's strength.

Entering the Azure Lotus Secret Realm is no different from being cannon fodder.

Since Bai Jinghan is such a doting brother, how could he bear to let Bai Yaoyao go to her death in the Azure Lotus Secret Realm?

"I don't know."

Yu Linglong shook her head.

"Forget it, let's just ignore them."

"It's getting dark soon. I'm going to visit the sect leader at Tai Xuan Palace tonight. You guys have fun on your own, don't worry about me."

As Ye Changtian spoke, he jumped up from his chair.

Until Ye Changtian's figure disappeared into the courtyard.

Yu Linglong then said to Luo Youyou beside her, "Let's go, Youyou, let's go to the kitchen."

"What are you going to the kitchen for?"

Luo Youyou was stunned for a moment.

Yu Linglong rolled her eyes: "What else can we do? Make soup, of course. Your young master should need some nourishment when he gets back."

"..."

Luo Youyou was speechless for a moment.

Is the Tai Xuan Sect really a legitimate sect?

She had a feeling that Young Master Ye was even busier than the top courtesan at Baiyulou in Tianyuan City.

……

Ye Changtian arrived at Tai Xuan Palace with ease.

Because of the token given to him by Xia Qiushui, Ye Changtian had almost no obstacles in the Tai Xuan Palace.

A short while later.

Ye Changtian met Xia Qiushui in the back garden of Tai Xuan Palace.

At this moment.

Xia Qiushui was facing away from him, bending over to water the medicinal herbs in the garden, almost exposing the perfect curve of her back.

"Sect Leader."

After a moment of slight distraction, Ye Changtian quickly greeted Xia Qiushui.

"Speak, what do you want from me?"

Xia Qiushui did not turn around, and continued to tend to her spiritual herbs in the same posture.

"..."

Ye Changtian was speechless for a moment.

I came to see you because I wanted to connect with you emotionally. Don't you know that?

Isn't the reason you left me a plaque for this?

of course.

Ye Changtian could only think these words in his heart; he dared not say them aloud.

"The sect leader twice saved me from danger, and I have no way to repay him. I have come here today to express my gratitude for saving my life."

Ye Changtian could only come up with one reason.

Upon hearing Ye Changtian express his gratitude...

Xia Qiushui couldn't help but recall the scene from when Ye Changtian said he would express his gratitude with his body.

"No need for thanks."

"As the head of the Tai Xuan Sect, it is my duty to protect the safety of my disciples."

Xia Qiushui forcibly stopped herself from overthinking, stood up and looked at Ye Changtian calmly: "I also happen to have something to discuss with you. Since you're here, come back to my room with me."

"Yes."

Ye Changtian responded and hurriedly followed after him.

A short while later.

The two then went to Xia Qiushui's bedroom.

Xia Qiushui ignored Ye Changtian and started rummaging through something on the bookshelf next to her.

Ye Changtian's brain was working at lightning speed.

this kind of thing.

Even if Xia Qiushui, the aloof female sect leader, had those thoughts, she would absolutely be too embarrassed to speak up.

How can he break this deadlock?

"Take this."

Just as Ye Changtian was pondering to himself.

Xia Qiushui had already turned around and tossed an antique scroll toward Ye Changtian.

Ye Changtian quickly caught the scroll.

"Sect Leader, what is this?"

Ye Changtian couldn't help but show a look of doubt.

This is an unremarkable ancient painting, and it is only half a scroll.

The sect leader summoned her to his room; could it be that he just wanted her to see this half of an ancient painting?

What's so interesting about this thing?

"This is half of an ancient painting that Qing Shuang seized from the Qinglian Secret Realm three years ago. It should be the work of the Qinglian Sword Immortal, and the painting contains the sword intent of the Qinglian Sword Immortal."

"Qing Shuang asked me to give it to you."

"If you can gain some insight from this half of the ancient painting, it should be helpful for your entry into the Azure Lotus Secret Realm."

Xia Qiushui explained calmly.

Holy crap!!!

Ye Changtian looked at the ancient painting in his hand and was suddenly startled.

He clearly hadn't expected it.

The thing Xia Qiushui gave him actually has such a big background.

A painting of the Azure Lotus Sword Immortal.

Moreover, it contains the sword intent of the Azure Lotus Sword Immortal!

Although it was only half a piece, it was not a problem for Ye Changtian at all.

As long as there are enough spirit stones.

He was confident that he could comprehend the sword intent depicted on the scroll!

"Try to understand the sword intent in the painting first. You can ask me any questions you may have."

After Xia Qiushui finished speaking, she closed her eyes and began to meditate.

At this moment.

Ye Changtian had no interest in developing a relationship with Xia Qiushui anymore.

With a thought, he placed the painting into the Yin-Yang Creation Realm and manipulated the power of Yin and Yang to infuse it.

After consuming a full 50,000 spirit stones of Yin-Yang power.

The scroll has finally been perfectly restored.

The painting depicts a blue lotus.

Ye Changtian could vaguely sense that the blue lotus in the painting indeed contained a terrifying sword intent.

Even just a glance.

Ye Changtian felt as if his soul was about to be pierced.

He naturally had no intention of figuring it out on his own; he directly consumed the power of Yin and Yang to begin practicing the sword intent depicted in the painting...

As the power of Yin and Yang is continuously depleted.

Ye Changtian practiced and studied the sword intent on the scroll again and again, and finally slowly grasped a trace of the true meaning of the Azure Lotus Sword Intent.

An invisible sword intent slowly condensed from Ye Changtian's body.

at the same time.

Xia Qiushui, who had been meditating with her eyes closed, suddenly sensed something and abruptly opened her tightly closed eyes.

Looking at the sword intent emanating from Ye Changtian.

A look of undisguised shock also appeared in Xia Qiushui's eyes.

"How...how is this possible?"
