Chapter 57: Moods
The old man's seniority was very high, but compared to the three people who looked much younger than him, there was no way to compare at all.
These three people were the top combat strength of the Immortal Sword Sect, and they were usually not fated to meet.
To think that the three of them actually came out of seclusion today and came together! Could it be that this mystic realm was extraordinary?
"We pay our respects to the three elders." The disciples that managed to react hurriedly bowed.
The three elders nodded. The elder in the middle spoke slowly.
"All of you are the pillars of our sect. You must not be arrogant and conceited. Even though this place is desolate, do not underestimate the talents of the world."
"The mystic realm will open in two days." You may leave for now."
"Yes!"

Back on Earth
"Ahh~~ open your mouth~"
Chen Tian chewed a piece of pancake that Emilia had fed him, savoring the taste. "Mmm, that's amazing,"
"Hehe~"
Emilia beamed with delight, saying, "I knew you would love it," and smiled contentedly. She was happy that she was feeding.
The two of them sat together in the cozy kitchen, enjoying their breakfast while basking in the warm glow of the sunlight filtering in through the window. The atmosphere was peaceful and comfortable.
At least that's what Emilia thought. However, Chen Tian could not help but feel that two deadly eyes were staring at him as he ate.
Both Aria and Leng Zhiqing looked at them with intense jealousy and anger.
Chen Tian couldn't help but feel a shiver run down his spine as he sensed the dangerous aura emanating from both of them.
"So both of you are dating now?" Aria asked with a smile that didn't look like a smile.
Leng Zhiqing also looked at both of them with a cold gaze.
Chen Tian felt a knot form in his stomach as he tried to come up with a response. He knew that Aria had feelings for him, it hadn't been a day since that thing happened between him and Aria, and now he was with Emilia.
He finally understood why Aria was angry with him. He took a deep breath and was about to speak, but Emilia interrupted him, saying firmly, "Yes, we are dating," and holding Chen Tian's hand.
"And we are very happy together."
Hearing her words, Aria's smile faded, and Leng Zhiqing's eyes narrowed, showing their displeasure with the news.
Their expression didn't escape Chen Tian's notice, and he felt guilty for hurting Aria. He knew he had to talk to her and explain himself.
Despite being aware that he was in trouble, Chen Tian made a firm decision to not hide his relationship with Emilia.
Although he didn't want to make his sister sad, but he couldn't hide it either he will be hurting Emilia if he did that.
As for Leng Zhiqing's face, it wasn't good either, Chen Tian didn't know why.
"This girl and Emilia were good friends before, so why did they become bad friends? Chen Tian was curious about the reason behind the fallout between Emilia and the girl, who had once been close friends.
The two of them had known Emilia since they were neighbors back when they were kids, but Emilia had to go back to America, so they didn't see each other again until high school.
From what Chen Tian remembered, Emilia quickly became friends with Leng Zhiqing after she transferred to the school.
Since Emilia Aleardy knew her from when they were little, it wasn't hard for them to become friends.
And about half a year after their friendship, Emilia started confessing her feelings to him. With each passing day, Emilia only became more and more aggressive as she expressed her feelings.
"Maybe it was around that time that their friendship became bad, and they started arguing whenever they could." Chen thought deeply.
He had asked Emilia why she was so obsessed with him, and she answered only with classic words. "From the moment I saw you, my heart knew that you were the missing piece it had been searching for."
As for Chen Tian, even though he had not responded to Emilia's feelings until now, but if he were to be asked, he would honestly answer that he enjoyed his closeness with Emilia enough.
Chen Tian couldn't help but admit that Emilia was the most likable woman he had ever met in his two lives.
Her beauty, her style, the way she spoke, and, of course, her intelligence too—those things were things that many noble women wanted but couldn't get.
If he was an ordinary man born on earth, there was no way he could bear to reject Emilia's feelings.
However, maybe because of his past life, he never felt love, so sometimes he missed life like other young people.
Apart from her mysterious background and some bad habits, she was the most ideal woman in Chen Tian's eyes in this modern world.
"I should probably ask her about that later, when we are alone," Chen Tian thought.
"I am leaving." Leng Zhiqing said with a cold tone as she got up from her seat, "Do you want me to take you to school?" she titled her head and asked if he wanted to go with her.
Chen Tian looked at Leng Zhiqing before taking a glance at Emilia, then he shook his head.
"No, it's okay, I have to take Emilia to her house and grab her uniform before that." Chen Tian refused Leng Zhiqing's offer and stood up from his seat, ready to leave with Emilia.
Since both of them had finished eating, Chen Tian knew they had to hurry in order to make it to school on time.
"Fine" Leng Zhiqing didn't argue with him and simply nodded before leaving
"Wait, sis, I am also leaving with you," Aria said, stopping Emilia from leaving. She also had some work to do for the company, which couldn't wait.
Emilia nodded understandingly, saying, "Sure, let's go together."
Both of them left the house, and Chen Tian could feel both of their moods weren't that good before leaving.
"I should have a talk with Aria when I return," Chen Tian murmured.
Chen Tian got up from his chair and promptly took the dishes to the sink to wash them.
Meanwhile, Emilia went to fetch his backpack from another room. Once Emilia returned with the backpack, they both headed to the car and got in. Chen Tian then drove to Emilia's place, where she could grab her uniform and other necessary items.
