I alone am the Honoured One!

"Sect Guardian..."

Zhao Tian smiled gently looking at the small group of female disciples, their robes fluttering gently in the evening breeze as they all bowed deeply.

Keeping his smile, Zhao Tian gestured them to stop bowing.

As he glanced around, he couldn't see a woman's face among them "Where is Chao?"

The female disciples looked at each other before one of them spoke up "Sect Guardian, Senior Sister Chao was taken away..."

Huh? Zhao Tian's gaze squinted in confusion.

Beside him, Ning Zhilian, who had been silently observing the exchange, was equally puzzled and leaned slightly toward Zhao Tian as if to silently ask him, 'Who is Chao?'

One of the female disciples gently bowed her head and as she was about to speak, footsteps heard in the courtyard.

Hm? Zhao Tian turned his gaze to the woman, who was walking toward him, her black hair coiling down her waist as her black eyes fell on the group of female disciples.

HUH? Looking at Zhao Tian and Ning Zhilian, her eyes shrank in shock and her body trembled.

She hurriedly ran to him and kneeled on the floor "Your Highness!"

Zhao Tian's frown deepened "Who are you? I have never seen your face here before."

The female disciples were pleasantly surprised, as they didn't expect him to remember all of their faces and find out that she is an outsider.

The woman, still kneeling, raised her head slightly, though she dared not meet his gaze directly "Your Highness, I came here... three months ago."

Hearing this, Zhao Tian raised an eyebrow 'She is from Ebon Luohe? No... she is addressing me as 'Your Highness'.'

The woman kneeling on the floor spoke "Your Highness, if you don't mind... I would like to invite you inside and speak privately."

With a soft sigh, Zhao Tian turned his gaze back to the other female disciples, giving them a slight nod. "You may leave us for now,"

The disciples hurriedly bowed once again before quickly making their exit, leaving the courtyard in hushed whispers.

As they left, Zhao Tian looked at the woman and he could clearly say that she was nervous '1st level of Monarch Astral stage.'

"Get up..."

The woman hurriedly stood up, though her head lowered in respect as she gestured toward a nearby hall "Please.. Your Highness, Your Majesty..."

...

As they entered, the woman gestured at the couch and the table "Please be seated... I shall bring something for you to drink."

Zhao Tian shook his head "No need for that..." as he sat on the couch.

Ning Zhilian also sat beside him, gently placing her hand on his lap.

The woman stopped in her tracks and glanced at Zhao Tian "Your Highness..."

Leaning on the couch, Zhao Tian asked "Tell me what happened here in the past four months."

The woman kept her head lowered and replied "I was one of the elders in the Frozen Peak Sect... which later got destroyed by you during the coup, Your Highness and I later surrendered."

Zhao Tian raised an eyebrow 'Now wonder she is scared of me.. she must have been on the battlefield that day.'

The woman continued "One day, I was suddenly called by Her Majesty Ning Xue and I was told by the previous Sect master that I should be the new Sect master of this Lunar Blossom Sect."

"The previous Sect Master Ling Xin and the three Elders said that they are entering seclusion and want me to take care of this Sect."

"So... I came here."

Ning Zhilian rolled her eyes "Yeah, now that I think about it... they were talking something like that."

Zhao Tian gave a faint nod and asked "And.. what happened to Chao, I heard she was taken away."

The woman replied in a soft tone "Two months ago... a tournament was held in Zhenluo."

"The tournament was performed for young geniuses across all the sects and factions in the world..."

"Not only the earlier Zhenzhu sects, but the other factions from other parts of the world who merged here in Zhenluo also joined."

"And in the tournament... Ling Chao won."

Zhao Tian was quite amused to hear this and asked "Who conducted this tournament? Ebon Luohe?"

The woman nodded her head, "Yeah... she was selected as a genius and was taken to Ebon Luohe to admit her to the Ebon Luohe Academy."

Hearing this, Zhao Tian frowned slightly 'Lyra also talked something about her Academy... and her being famous there. I should ask her.'

Zhao Tian let out a sigh as Ling Chao was not in any kind of danger and waved his hand "You can leave..."

With a bow, the woman asked "Should I bring something for you to drink...?"

Zhao Tian glanced at Ning Zhilian and she nodded her head "Yeah.. maybe some coffee."

As she left, Ning Zhilian leaned on his shoulder and asked "Did you eat anything after exiting the seclusion?"

Zhao Tian shook his head as he took a watch from his storage ring "No... not yet. After a bath, I came to see you."

"I see..." A soft smile fluttered on her lips as she caressed her face on his shoulder.

As Zhao Tian clicked on the watch, a holographic scene flickered in front of him and Zhao Tian smiled "Glad it still works."

Ning Zhilian was amused by the holographic display and asked "What is this.. ?"

"A present from someone... she gave me this so I could contact her if I needed anything."

Clicking on the picture of Lyra Talon on the screen, he muttered "Hope it works."

...

Back In Ebon Luohe-

Lyra Talon is comfortably sitting on a floating chair, as she glanced at the students wearing elite Ebon Luohe uniforms fighting each other in the open space.

With a sigh, she rolled her eyes "It is boring to do... combat training."

As she thought of napping, the watch on her wrist flickered and she saw an unknown identity calling her.

However, seeing the name, an excited smile appeared on her face "Zhao?"
