Number One Under Heaven

Chapter 24: Tian Yi and Lao Bai

After sweeping up all the black dust, Qiu Heng saved it so he can prove his innocence to his Master.

Good, time to go look for Master!

Ill tell him what I saw, and hopefully he does not blame me!

He had trust in his Master and believed that he would believe his crazy story!

He ran to the Sect Masters house in full speed.

After a while, he was finally at his destination.

But just as he arrives, the Sect Master also comes out, and he was even chatting happily with a young man next to him.

Qiu Heng recognized that ordinary looking face!

It was that asshole who destroyed the Dark Marble Wall and had him take the blame for him!

Its that bastard!!! His eyes looked like it was about to shoot out flames.

The moment Qiu Heng noticed Tian Yi, Tian Yi also noticed him.

He made a bashful face like a child caught after running away from an embarrassing moment.

Qiu Heng became even angrier when he saw that annoying face.

He ran towards them in large strides.

The Sect Master finally notices his favorite disciple running towards them.

He was just about to welcome him when he saw his angry face.

He was surprised and kept quiet.

Did someone offend him? I hadnt seen him this grumpy since the last time when he got beat up by Chan Jingyi for the first time. He thought.

Qiu Heng was both embarrassed and mad at himself for losing during that fight.

He watched as Qiu Heng ran like he was trying to body slam someone.

Tiannn Yiiii!!!

I am going to beat you up!!! He screams.

The Sect Master had his eyes wide open in disbelief.

What!? What is going on?! Since when did they become enemies?

Wait!!! He screams at Qiu Heng.

Qiu Heng instantly stops and looked at his Master.

What the hell are you saying to our honored guest?!

What has happened to you! He was mad.

How could he let his favorite disciple offend someone like him?

Master, this bastard here did something shameless and ran away, making me the one to take the blame!

He cries about his reason for being so mad.

Something shameless? Ran away? He was a bit surprised at the reason

Junior Brother Yi, what did you do to make my disciple so mad? Maybe we can talk about it.

I wont blame you. He asked Tian Yi who was right next to him.

He didnt want to offend him no matter what, even if his own disciple was at fault!

Master, Ill tell you what he did! He punched the Dark Marble Wall to dust and then ran away after pinning all the blames on me!

He did what?!? The Sect Master didnt dare to believe his ears.

This young man punched the Dark Marble Wall known as indestructible to dust?!

Hey! You are to blame too! You said it wouldnt break no matter what and even let me do it! Tian Yi didnt deny the fact that he did it.

Bullshit! How did I know you can do that? If I did, I would have never let you touched it! He argues back.

I had to get yelled at by the Elders because of you!

Shit, I even had to clean the whole place up!

Hmph, who told you to break your promise. Tian Yi had a calm voice.

Wait! What about the Dark Marble Wall? Where is it now?! The Sect Master cuts into their argument.

It is over here! Qiu Heng takes out his Storage Pouch and pulls out a big garbage bag filled with black dust.

Aaaaahhhh!!!! The Sect Master screamed.

That was the only one they had!

He didnt even know how to get another one!

The other nine was at different Sects and Family. Even if he wanted to buy it, who was willing to sell?

This wall is a precious Body Tempering treasure, or why else would it be placed in the Core of the Dragon and not the Outer Court?

Now that it was gone, what else do they have to temper their bodies with? Although they had a gravity formation, it costs Spirit Stones to use it!

Now he remembers that gift Tian Yi gave him

How it was a payment for some steel wall

Thats what the Steel Wall meant? The Dark Marble Wall!

Although he was extremely pissed off, he didnt blame Tian Yi and could only swallow his anger.

The Dark Marble Wall was precious but not as valuable as the Pills!

Aiya, what is done is already done. You cant uncook rice The Sect Master sighs.

Just throw it away, I wont blame any of you.

Qiu Heng went into shock after hearing that.

What?! His Master did not go rampage and even let them go untouched?

This is the Dark Marble Wall theyre talking about! Not some cooked rice!

Did the sun rise from the other direction today?!?

Lao Bai looked at his Young Master in a daze.

So even he can be this childish? Cant he just fix it? Given his power, this should be childs play Or is he really unable to fix it?

Ahem, Young Master Yi, you cant fix it? He asked anyways.

Tian Yi still had a calm face and said, Of course I can.

??????

Everybody looked at him with wide eyes.

Qiu Heng almost coughed up blood.

If you can fix it, why did you run away and even let me take the blame?!? He screamed.

He went through that embarrassing moment for nothing?!

Hmph, who told you to break your promise and blamed me for it.

If you have kept your promise and did not blame me, I wouldve fixed it right away.

Its your punishment for lying to me. He said nonchalantly.

Fuck! He almost fainted.

He had to go through all that just because he lied?

What is he? A child caught lying to his parents and had to be taught a lesson?!

Just because I lied?! If you had told me that you could fix it, I wouldve let you hit it all you wanted to! He felt wronged.

No, theres nothing wrong with lying, even I do it sometimes.

But breaking your promise and lying are two different things! I hate people who break their promises. He sneers.

Qiu Heng turned speechless.

So Junior Brother Yi can fix it?! The Sect Master instantly became happy after hearing that.

Of course, bring it here. He said.

* * * *

A big garbage bag filled with black dust was sitting in front of Tian Yi.

He opens it and takes out a handful of the black dust.

He looked at it and nodded like he understood something, Oh, this is a kind of interesting material. Its basically that but the worst type of it He was whispering to himself.

He had knowledge of many materials and medicines, but the ones in Mortals Realm were not familiar to him.

After a few more seconds of looking at it, he waves his hand and Spirit Power gathers around the big garbage bag.

*Whoosh*

The bag tears apart and the black dust starts to gather and like water, they combined.

.. Everybody except Lao Bai watched with wide eyes as it grew larger and larger until it forms into a black steel wall.

Thats it? All you had to do is wave your hand and yet; you didnt want to do it just to punish me?! Qiu Hengs eyes turned watery.

There, its fixed. Are you going to keep blaming me now? He looked at Qiu Heng.

No Wait! I still blame you for getting me in trouble! He wanted to beat this kid up, but he didnt dare.

What will happen to his body if he was punched by him, who could even punch that Dark Marble Wall to dust?

Although he had pride and high confidence in his body, he did not have the confidence in blocking that!

The Sect Master looked at Tian Yi like he was a monster.

He can not only punch it to dust; he can even fix it just like that? Who is this young man really?

Holy Continent? Ill be damned if he didnt come from the Spirit Realm! He thought.

Alright, now that the problem has been fixed, Ill be leaving. Tian Yi said.

You do not need me to guide you outside? The Sect Master asked.

Its fine, see you later. He said.

Okay then, Ill wait here until you are gone from my sight. I hope to see you soon too! He said.

Wait, arent you going to move this back to where it used to be?! Qiu Heng questioned.

Tian Yi looked at him for a second and turned around.

Lets go Lao Bai.

Yes, Young Master.

Wait! You

But the words that were about to come out did not come out.

Even the Sect Master fell on his butt.

Tian Yi waved his hand, and a large hand appears out of thin air to grab the Dark Marble Wall.

After grabbing it, it flew towards the direction of Core of the Dragon.

After that, Tian Yi and Lao Bai flew away in an instant, leaving them dumbfounded.

Realm of Creations, S-spirit King! Qiu Heng cried.

How is that even possible?! He looks even younger than him!

Is he actually a wolf in sheeps clothing? But instead of a wolf, it was an old man!

No wonder why he was so shameless!

* * * *

Tian Yi and Lao Bai walked around and stopped at every food stall they see.

Roasted beef skewers!

Steamed Buns!

Meat Buns!

Sweet Tofu!

Every food stall they went to, they paid in Spirit Stones and made the seller cry tears of happiness.

Thank you, Young Master, for his generosity!

Now I can finally feed my Family without worry for a while!

Thank You, Young Master!

May the Heavens Bless you!

Everybody thanked him in tears.

On that day, many food stalls had received Spirit Stones for payment.

They did not know who this Young Master was, only that he gave them all Spirit Stones as payment.

Everybody was happy, except a few.

These that were not happy are the ones that have a bad soul.

Tian Yi did not even glance at their food stalls no matter how good the food smelled.

He only went to the ones that had a decently good soul.

The people that did not receive any Spirit Stones could only watch and curse at these who did.

Some even planned on stealing it from the others, but the moment they thought of that as if lightning had struck their minds, they dazed out.

When they woke up, they did not remember anything they did today!

This was Tian Yis way of doing things.

You lived an honest and good life, but received no thanks for it? I will thank you for it!

Young Master Yi is such a generous man. Lao Bai praised.

Generous? No, I am not generous. I only helped these who deserved it and not these who didnt.

I am very selfish. Tian Yi smiles.

Thats already generous enough. He said.

Young Master, look. Theres Xiao Familys Xiao Ying. Lao Bai pointed at the peerless looking female.

She was currently smiling, surrounded by a crowd of handsome men and pretty girls.

Tian Yi looked at her and shook his head.

? Lao Bai did not understand it.

Xiao Ying and her crowd have taken over the whole road, and these who were in their way had to step aside.

She walked towards Tian Yi and stopped in front of him.

She still had a smile on her face, but these around her did not.

Tian Yi and Lao Bai did not move aside for them.

If it isnt Miss Xiao Ying, what a coincidence. Lao Bai greeted.

But Xiao Ying didnt return her greetings. Instead, she had a frown on her face.

Old man, little brat, get the fuck out of Fairy Yings way! A male voice resounded.

Get out of that way before I personally do it! Another one said.

Lao Bai was surprised. What is happening?

Tian Yi still had a calm face, as if this had nothing to do with him.

I give you three seconds to get the fuck out of the way before I beat you myself! A tall, handsome man said.

3, 2, 1. Good! He stepped forward.

Wait. Xiao Ying said.

I would appreciate it if you two could move aside. My friends and I are in a hurry. She spoke in a soft voice.

What? Did you eat something wrong? You do not recognize us? Lao Bai was now bewildered.

It has barely been a day since they separated. How could she possibly forget about them after all that has happened?

Lao Bai, lets go. Tian Yi finally said and walked to another direction.

Young Master Yi? Lao Bai didnt know what was going on but followed anyways.

While they were walking away, they heard sneering voices behind them.

Hmph, youre lucky our Fairy Ying is generous!

I better not see you next time, if I do, be prepared to lose a few limbs!

Fairy Ying, lets ignore these two beggars and keep on talking.

Un. She nodded, and they continued walking while chatting.

* * * *

Young Master Yi, what is going on? Lao Bai asked after they walked a bit farther.

Lao Bai, youre over a million years old, but you cannot read other peoples, heart? It looks like I need to teach you a thing or two. Tian Yi joked.

Y-young Master How do you do it? He didnt know what to say.

His Young Master was right; hes a Magic Beast that lived in the wild for his whole life after all.

I can look at their soul and tell. Its a born talent. He laughed.

Then what about Xiao Ying?

I erased her memories, along with her familys. Tian Yi said straightforwardly.

Erase their memories? Since when and why? Lao Bai was shocked.

Although he was aware of memory erasing Cultivation Techniques, they were all exceedingly rare and very flashy.

But he did not remember his Young Master even touching them, except for Xiao Hai.

I did it right before we separated near the gate.

As for why It was for their own good.

? Lao Bai did not understand.

Tian Yi saw that in his face and continued to talk.

Did you not just see the way how that Xiao Ying had acted? Thats the real her when shes not around her family. Her soul is very impure.

But she let us go peacefully when the others didnt?

Thats what I mean when I said you couldnt read the heart of people.

Just because she acts nice, is she actually nice?

Lao Bai, let me tell you something. Just because theyre pretty on the outside did not mean theyre also pretty on the inside.

Although her family all had pretty good souls, her soul makes me feel uncomfortable.

Then why not kill her? Lao Bai asked he was a Magic Beast who only knew how to kill.

Just because I dont like her soul, I have to kill her? So if I didnt like how youre a male, should I kill you? Just because I have power does not mean I can do whatever I wanted to.

If she isnt a serious Devil Cultivator and did not offend me, I have no rights to kill her.

Although there are times when I am selfish, like that time with Long Huo and the bandits, I still have to have a justifiable reason.

Lao Bai, you need to change the way you think if you want to keep on following me.

Lao Bai was listening to his Young Master and engraved every single word into his soul.

Young Master Yi, forgive me, but I want to learn more. Is it only because of her impure soul that you erased her memories? What about her family? He asked.

No, it is not the only reason. Remember when I said its for their own good?

Yes. Lao Bai nodded.

Her father, Xiao Fang had a good heart and soul. But after seeing me, his soul darkens by the minute in an extremely fast rate. If I let this go, hell be consumed by his own desires and might even turn evil.

Humans No, all living beings are weak to one thing, their own desires. Even Buddha could be corrupted by his own desires if it was strong enough. I am no different.

This is why I decided to erase their memories. I did not want to harm them because of myself. Tian Yi said.

But what about the Sect Master and the Min Family? Wont they also be affected since they saw your powers? Are you going to erase theirs too? Lao Bai asked.

If its not too bad, I wont mind because that is what makes humans, human. Everybody has desires for something. But if they are anywhere near the point of losing their reasoning, Ill have to do it. Not for me, but for them. He said.

What about the people we will meet with in the future? Will you be hiding your own powers to avoid corrupting them?

I will not hide my abilities. Instead I will trust them.

Not everybody in this world will lose to their own desires. Although they are hard to fight, it is not impossible. So I will trust everybody I come across.

Like I said, I am very selfish. Because of my selfishness, the people I encountered might be corrupted. But for these who do not, I will reward them with fortune.

Do I feel guilty? Yes, but I also cant just hide in my room all day avoiding people and fake myself everywhere I go.

Can you hide all the geniuses, so normal people will not feel overwhelmed by the differences and walk the path of the Devil? No.

Lao Bai, dont forget that this is the Mortal's Realm. It is easy for Mortals to lose to their own desires. Itll get better as we travel to higher Realms. Probably...

Were going to other Realms too? Lao Bai didnt expect this. He thought it was only the Mortal's Realm his Young Master wanted to go to.

Of course. I came down here to go on an adventure. He said.

Thats all Ill tell you today. I will not force you to change the way you think; I just want you to think about it.

Yes, Young Master. Lao Bai now has a whole new understanding about his Young Master, Tian Yi.

But with that new understanding, comes a new worry.

Does that mean he will also throw me away If I were to lose to my desires one day? He thought.

Tian Yi smiles and like he could read Lao Bais mind, he said, Dont worry Lao Bai. I will not let you get to that point. Why else do you think I even let you follow me down here in the first place? Because I like your soul. Is it pure? No, but I still like the aura of your soul. It makes me feel comfortable.

Lao Bai blushed after hearing that.

His Young Master was not only a ladykiller but also a Magic Beast Tamer?

The two of them continues to walk around, trying to waste time until the Entrance Exam.
