Peerless Little Immortal Doctor-Chapter 365 - : The Delayed Promise
Chapter 365: Chapter 365: The Delayed Promise
Compared to the panic in the Martial Combat Arena, the main hall of the Immeasurable Sect seemed rather solemn.
Bai Shixiong sat on the Jade Cloud Throne at the top of the Treasure Palace, with Xia Liu and Lin Xiaotian seated on either side of the main hall.
Bai Lili was nowhere to be seen; otherwise, the three people in the main hall wouldn’t have been so awkward.
“Sect Master Bai, I’m sorry, I went a bit too far earlier.” After a long silence, Xia Liu apologized.
“Not at all, I was young once too. Looking back, I was even more impulsive than you for the sake of friends and brothers,” Bai Shixiong said with a smile.
Honestly, Bai Shixiong was still somewhat shocked by Xia Liu, as he harbored a significant suspicion.
It was about the Spirit Stabilizing Needle Xia Liu had used. Once he had undone the sealing, his cultivation had reached the Earth Rank Peak, and the martial arts skills he displayed were extremely strong.
If he were to burst forth, Xia Liu would definitely become a mad force sweeping across the entire Immeasurable Sect.
Now, Bai Shixiong finally understood what Xia Liu meant when he said, “If you dare to be impolite to Lin Xiaotian, the Immeasurable Sect could indeed be destroyed.”
“By the way, you’re the Sect Leader of the Taiyi Sect, right?” Suddenly recalling the Heaven and Earth Map, Bai Shixiong asked.
“No, no, I don’t know much about the Taiyi Sect.”
“Then how did you come by that Heaven and Earth Map?”
“An old man taught me…” Seeing Bai Shixiong’s interest in his background, Xia Liu didn’t hide anything and simply laid out the facts, hoping he might have news of the Taiyi Sect.
“I see, so you directly received the legacy of an elder of the Taiyi Sect,” Bai Shixiong realized after listening to Xia Liu’s explanation.
If Xia Liu were truly a Sect Leader of Taiyi, he likely wouldn’t use the Heaven and Earth Map here, since it represents the sect.
“You could say that. Sect Master Bai, do you know where the Taiyi Sect is? I would like to take the old man’s remains there.”
“I’m not sure either. For some reason, the Taiyi Sect has been hidden for decades. Perhaps our Sect Master would know, but unfortunately…” Bai Shixiong shook his head and explained.
“I see. Then where did the Sect Master go?” Xia Liu refused to give up, having finally found a clue, and he was determined to pursue it.
“The Sect Master has been missing for many years. I don’t know about that either,” said Bai Shixiong, equally helpless since the Sect Master had attained Heaven Rank when he left.
Such a Martial Arts Grandmaster was not something ordinary martial artists could influence.
Xia Liu said nothing more; such high-strength martial artists wandering in the world, even if one encountered them, it might be impossible to recognize.
“Sect Master Bai, I…” As Xia Liu and Bai Shixiong finished speaking, Lin Xiaotian took the opportunity to speak.
But before he had finished, Bai Shixiong raised his hand to stop him.
This gesture made Lin Xiaotian extremely embarrassed.
It’s not that Bai Shixiong didn’t want to speak with Lin Xiaotian, but he was captivated by a stunning scene.
Seeing Bai Shixiong’s gaze fixed, Xia Liu and Lin Xiaotian also looked in the same direction.
On looking, both men were surprised in different ways.
They saw a woman in a blue long dress approaching from afar, her skin white as snow, delicate and tender.
Her hair reached her waist and fluttered with the breeze, her graceful posture captivating.
Her eyes were clear, and as the wind brushed past her, it brought a whiff of pureness.
“Lili!”
Bai Shixiong and Lin Xiaotian exclaimed simultaneously.
One was a father who hadn’t seen his daughter’s true face for years, and the other was a man who had made mistakes, fled, and broken promises.
Two men, two identities, yet at this moment, both were equally shocked and joyful.
Bai Lili was able to remove her veil, which means she would face life squarely and calmly confront everything from now on.
“Father, Senior Brother Xiaotian, Big Brother Xia Liu,” Bai Lili said shyly with her head lowered as she arrived at the main hall.
“Ah, Lili, your father is truly delighted to see you like this.”
If Bai Shixiong wasn’t desperately holding back, tears would have surely streamed down his face.
After his wife gave birth to Bai Lili and passed away due to her frail health, Bai Shixiong dared not forget the vows and promises he made to her that he would ensure their daughter’s happiness in this lifetime.
Today, Bai Shixiong finally saw his daughter’s smile again.
“Senior Brother Xiaotian, don’t you have anything to say to me and father?” After waiting a while and noticing Lin Xiaotian’s silence, Bai Lili spoke up somewhat coquettishly.
“Uh, Lili, I’m sorry for coming back late.”
“I don’t want to hear you say sorry.”
“Then…”
“Forget it, just don’t speak,” Bai Lili said, crossing her arms and not wanting to talk as she watched Lin Xiaotian’s sad expression.
“Haha!” Xia Liu initially tried to hold back his laughter but eventually couldn’t help but let out a laugh.
“Lin Xiaotian, you better think of something to say to Lili!” Seeing his daughter sulking, Bai Shixiong got anxious. He even wanted to slap Lin Xiaotian several times to clear his muddled head.
“Junior Sister Lili, I’m back now. Will you marry me?” Suddenly, Lin Xiaotian had an epiphany and quickly kneeled before Bai Lili, adopting a proposing posture.
“Uh, uh, uh… What’s happening?” Bai Lili hadn’t even had time to feel shy before Bai Shixiong panicked.
This was a sign that Lin Xiaotian was planning to elope with his daughter!
“Sect Master, this was agreed between Lili and me, only I’m five years late. I promise from now on, I will wholeheartedly care for Lili and not let her suffer the slightest harm or unhappiness.”
“Agreement? Five years late?” The more Bai Shixiong heard, the less he understood. What on earth was going on?
“Father, actually, it was like this. When I let Xiaotian leave back then, he said he would return after a few days to ask for your blessing, but he never returned…”
Seeing her father’s confusion, Bai Lili began to explain everything.
Actually, it wasn’t that Lin Xiaotian had mistreated her; they had been in love, and things had happened long before.
But ultimately, Lin Xiaotian did not return, and that’s when Bai Lili released the news.

At that time, her heart was nearly dead, but she managed to survive on her intense hatred.
As Bai Lili recounted these events, Lin Xiaotian stood by with his head bowed, not knowing if his mind had been stuck in a door or something back then, to have let down such a great beauty.
After hearing his daughter’s explanation, Bai Shixiong’s face darkened somewhat. So, his daughter had been seduced by Lin Xiaotian long ago!
“Lin Xiaotian, since you and Lili were already involved back then, why did you still sneak into the Library Pavilion?”
“Sect Master, hear me out. I had grown tired of practicing the Martial Arts Skill you entrusted to me, so I thought of learning more and eventually sneaked into the Library Pavilion through a loophole.”
Lin Xiaotian didn’t want it to be that way, but his talent made him reluctant to be mediocre and eventually led to a big trouble…
“I admit you have exceptional talent, but that doesn’t justify your actions. Since you made a mistake, you must accept the punishment.”
“Father, you can’t punish Senior Brother Xiaotian!”
Bai Lili immediately stood up to defend him.
“Lili, he’s too wild by nature. Without proper discipline, he’ll never amount to anything in this life.”
“I heard Senior Brother Xiaotian say, he integrated various Martial Arts Skills and created his own; doesn’t that count as achieving something…”
