Eternal Villain: I can enslave Reality!-Chapter 253 : Master’s Daughter

?"I know I told you that you're free to leave the sect whenever you want, but until you're in the sect, you're a guest. Would you want to accompany us to the Eleventh Mountain? I would love to introduce our Sect to you."

The Grand Elder placed his hand on Xu Shan's shoulder. "And if you like the sect, we can also provide you shelter and accept you into the sect."

Xu Shan didn't know what kind of misunderstanding the old man had about him. Not only was he not asking for his identity, but he was also offering him a place to stay in the sect?

He wasn't sure if it was just because of the talent that the old man saw in him, or was something more at play.

It was beneficial for him to stay in the sect and get more information about this world. However, he also understood that it was the most dangerous place for him.

He didn't enter the Immortal Realm to have a good time. He came here to become stronger and the Devouring Spirit was the only way for him to become stronger.

Cultivation was useless for him. He could only steal from the others. If he stayed in the sect, instead of getting stronger, he was only going to get weaker.

He could try to devour disciples of the sect, but it was only a matter of time before suspicions were going to rise in him. He knew if that happened, he might even be killed.

"I've already troubled you enough. I am afraid I can't trouble you more. It's best if I leave." Xu Shan told the old man.

The Grand Elder frowned. He thought he could win over the man who had nowhere else to go. At any cost, he wanted to win over Xu Shan.

"It's no trouble. It would be great if we could have a talented disciple like you," he insisted.

Xu Shan could see that the old man didn't want to let him leave. If he still insisted, then the old man might even use force.

For a moment, he thought if he should kill the old man when he was unaware. The killing urges within him became even stronger. He somehow suppressed those urges, maintaining his sanity.

"I am highly grateful for you to lead us out of that place. But as I said, I don't think we can stay here. However, if there comes a time, I'll definitely repay the favor you have shown me."

The old man looked at Xu Shan, his thoughts unclear. The young man was still insisting that he wanted to leave.

The Great Elder didn't know what to do. Did he have no other choice but to force this boy? But if he forced him, he was going to lose all the goodwill and couldn't receive any favors.

Xu Shan was the heir of some great family. He wanted to build a bond with Xu Shan so that he could also benefit when the young man returned to his rightful place.

But if he forced the guy, then Xu Shan might pretend to work with him while feeling hostile. And when he reached his family, he might come back with his family's warriors to have revenge.

There was a lot of risk in forcing the young man.

"I understand. If you want to leave, I won't stop you." The Great Elder finally gave up. It was better to have a good bond between them even if they were far away, than to be close and have hostility.

"Please take this." The Great Elder tossed away his token towards Xu Shan who caught it.

"While you're inside the Kingdom, this token might come in handy for you. If you show it to someone, they will understand that you're a friend of mine."

Xu Shan gazed at the token. He didn't understand why the old man was going so far for him, but it was only beneficial for him.

The token could help him achieve much more while he was in the Kingdom. It could save him a lot of trouble.

"I'll always remember the help I've received from you." Xu Shan nodded as he kept the token in his storage ring.

After bidding his farewell, he started flying away with the Divine Empress.

"I hope you won't forget this when you return to your family," the Great Elder muttered, watching Xu Shan's figure disappear into the distant clouds.

A smile spread across his lips as he looked forward to the time when he was going to meet the young man again. "Hopefully, by that time, you would have taken over your family."

He sent the other disciples back to their courtyards while personally taking Xin Mei to her courtyard.

He placed her on the bed before turning to leave.

"The Sect Master's daughter is fine. She's just sleeping. You don't have to inform him," he said before stepping out of the room.

Two women clad in black stepped out of the shadows, checking to see if the Eleventh Elder was telling the truth.

After making sure that she was fine, they disappeared again.

"Wouldn't it have been better to take his offer?" Flying next to Xu Shan, the Divine Empress asked.

"If we could stay in the sect, we could've learned about this world more. We might have learned the higher ranking skills as well," she added. "Isn't it better than running all over the place?"

"It's not worth all the trouble that will come with becoming a disciple at the sect," Xu Shan replied, not even entertaining the thought.

"If you say so." The Divine Empress nodded. "But where are we going now?"

They had no place to stay, so she wasn't sure where they were going to go. They didn't even have the money of this world that they could use to rent a place.

"We're going to the Royal Capital," Xu Shan informed the girl. "Don't you want to take part in the Dragon Conference? What better place than that to feast…"
