Under the starry night, the ancient city seemed particularly quiet. There was no ostentation or restlessness like in the city.
In a house within the Seven Stars Sect's territory in the ancient city, a young man was shouting loudly, venting the unhappiness in his heart.
This young man was called Chu Tian, and he was the young master of the Seven Stars Sect. He was also the one who had an engagement with Yun Churan.
After venting some of his anger, Chu Tian finally calmed down a little.
Not long after, there was a knock on the door.
Chu Tian originally wanted to ignore it, but he heard a voice outside the door.
"Tian 'er, it's me."
When Chu Tian heard the voice, he knew it belonged to his father, so he went to open the door.
Since he was injured, many people from the sect had come to visit him.
However, almost all of them were gloating and only came to see him make a fool of himself.
Chu Tian's father was naturally not among them.
"Father." After Chu Tian opened the door, he saw the middle-aged man outside and called out softly.
"Tian 'er, your face looks very pale. Does the injury on your body still hurt?" Chu Tian's father, Chu Zhan, asked his son with concern.
Chu Tian smiled bitterly.
The pain on his body was nothing, but the pain in his heart was the most unbearable.
His martial arts talent was outstanding, and his future was limitless. However, an accident happened when he went out to train caused his meridians to suffer irreversible injuries, and he would not be able to practice martial arts in the future.
This was something that Chu Tian, who wanted to become a powerhouse, could not accept.
Chu Zhan could read his son's emotions from his expression, so he hurriedly comforted him.
"Although no one can repair your meridians in the secluded Jianghu, other than the secluded Jianghu, there are some ancient sects and clans in the world. Any one of them is above the secluded Jianghu."
"I'll think of a way to go to these ancient sects and clans to ask for divine medicine to heal your meridians. Don't be discouraged."
As he spoke, Chu Zhan patted his son's shoulder, wanting to cheer him up.
"Those ancient sects and clans only exist in some records in the sect's ancient books. Perhaps they don't exist at all."
As the young master of the Seven Stars Sect, Chu Tian also had the authority to look up some secrets of the sect, so he naturally knew some of the information.
Naturally, he felt that the hope was so slim that it could be ignored.
"It definitely exists." Chu Zhan also knew that there wasn't much hope, but his tone was very certain.
Because if he was also so dispirited, then his son would lose even more hope in his heart.
"Even if they do exist, why would those ancient sects or clans give us the herbs to repair our meridians?" Chu Tian changed his perspective and responded to his father's question.
"As long as you can pay the price, you will definitely be able to get it," Chu Zhan said.
"I'm already a cripple now. I'm afraid that those old fellows in the sect will definitely not agree to this, especially the Great Elder. Apart from me, the great elder's grandson is the most promising candidate to replace me as the young master of the Seven Stars Sect and become the next sect master. "Chu Tian shook his head and mocked himself.
At this point, he recalled some of the things he had heard during the day and continued.
"I heard that there's a sect meeting tomorrow, but tomorrow isn't the end of the month, so it's not the time for a regular sect meeting. It seems like there's something important to discuss tomorrow."
Chu Zhan frowned, thinking that the news spread really fast, but it was useless to deny it.
"It was the great elder who suggested it." Chu Zhan sighed.
"That old fellow really can't wait. It seems that after tomorrow, my status as the successor of the Seven Stars Sect's sect master will be revoked." Chu Tian sneered.
His status as the young master was not because he was Chu Zhan's son, but because he was the next sect master of the Seven Stars Sect.
"It won't be that easy for that old fellow to succeed." Chu Zhan could not help but gnash his teeth at the mention of the great elder.
Although he was the sect master, the elders' council's power was not small. In many matters, he had to be controlled by the elders' council.
Of course, the main reason was that many elders followed the great elder's lead.
If that was not the case, the great elder alone would not dare to be so arrogant.
Hearing Chu Zhan's words, Chu Tian fell silent.
Given his current situation, he really did not have the face to continue to force himself to stay as the young master.
For a moment, Chu Zhan did not know how to comfort him.
At this moment, a disciple suddenly came to report, but after seeing Chu Tian, he did not say anything.
When Chu Tian saw this disciple, he knew that he was Chu Zhan's confidant and could be trusted.
Logically speaking, if there was something important, he should not hide it from him.
Puzzled, Chu Tian deliberately said, "I'm still the young master now. Could it be that I'm not liked so soon?"
The disciple did not know how to respond, so he looked at Chu Zhan with a questioning expression.
Chu Zhan was afraid that if he hid it from his son, it would make his son feel even more uncomfortable.
He could only say helplessly, "What's the matter? Just say it."
After receiving the order, the disciple immediately reported,
"I received news that the Blue Cloud Sect's Yun Churan has just arrived in the ancient city and is currently staying in an inn."
After hearing this, Chu Tian frowned.
Similar to Yun Churan, he only learned about this matter after he was engaged to an elder.
Chu Tian was not too happy about this, but he did not object either.
However, Yun Churan had just come to the ancient city after such a thing happened to him. He reckoned that her intentions were not simple.
"Tian 'er, maybe Churan just came to visit you and has no other intentions." Chu Zhan also had a vague feeling, but he did not point it out. Instead, he tried to think in a positive direction.
"Haha, if that's the case, why is she avoiding me? I think … "Chu Tian looked at the disciple who reported and said with a scrutinizing gaze.
"It seems that you didn't tell me everything, right? Did Yun Churan come alone, or did she come with her elders? "
If Yun Churan came alone, it could be interpreted as a simple visit. However, if she came with someone else, her intentions were obvious.
"Young Master is wise." The disciple was shocked and reported helplessly, "There's a handsome young master beside Yun Churan. I can't tell his background for the time being, but his temperament is extraordinary. I reckon his background is not simple."
"It seems that not only will I lose the position of the young master tomorrow, but I will also lose my beautiful fiancée." Chu Tian sneered sadly.
"Tian 'er …" Chu Zhan saw his son's expression and was worried.
"Father, I want to be alone for a while." Chu Tian was expressionless and suddenly interrupted Chu Zhan.
Chu Zhan did not continue to say anything. He sighed and left worriedly.
Chu Tian was the only one left in the quiet room.
After calming down for a while, he took out the half-foot-tall black tower that he had hidden in the room.
