Chapter 6847: The Holy Governor’s Tenderness

Li Muyun’s heart tightened, but remembering Li Tianming’s instructions, she cautiously replied, “Reporting to the Holy Governor, Li Tianming is my disciple. He has just completed the fourth level of the Young Emperor Trial and should be in his cultivation palace.”

“Li Tianming is your disciple? Then you must be Li Muyun. I’ve heard of you before, and that you have a very close relationship with him?” Wei Shendao scrutinized Li Muyun, speaking with interest.

“Muyun is terrified to have entered the Holy Governor’s ears. I merely did what a tutor should do. If you wish to find Tianming, I can guide you to his Tianming Palace,” Li Muyun said, her face slightly pale.

“Alright, let’s go,” Wei Shendao said calmly.

…

Hearing Yin Chen and Jiguang’s introduction of Wei Shendao and his intention to seek him out, Li Tianming waited quietly in the Tianming Palace.

The two had not yet met, and Li Tianming wouldn’t truly believe the other’s overtures.

Li Tianming said, “Yin Chen, be ready to notify Xiao Yu to activate the World Planet at any time. Don’t let your guard down before Wei Shendao leaves.”

“Okay, Xiao Yu, don’t worry,” Yin Chen replied in his companion space.

A moment later, Li Muyun brought Wei Shendao to Muyun Palace, but Li Tianming didn’t rush out to avoid exposing Yin Chen’s presence in front of such a powerful figure.

“Tianming, the Holy Governor is here to see you. Come out and meet him,” Li Muyun called out.

Li Tianming then came out and saw this gentle beauty from the Living God Clan. She was more mature than Wei Wuji, both in appearance and her shapely figure.

Wei Wuji was, after all, just a child under ten thousand years old, and the expression between his brows gave off a sense of willfulness and arrogance, while Wei Shendao was gentle and tender, like the aurora borealis.

“Disciple Li Tianming greets the Holy Governor,” Li Tianming said, clasping his hands in a salute.

“Imperial Tutor Li, please step aside. I need to discuss some matters with him,” Wei Shendao said to Li Muyun.

Li Muyun hesitated, somewhat uneasy, while Li Tianming secretly blinked before readily agreeing, “Yes.”

She then left the Cultivation Palace, intending to return to the Young Emperor Palace to inform Mo Yu of this matter.

Wei Shendao spoke softly, “Won’t you invite me in?”

Li Tianming was still somewhat puzzled by the other party’s arrival; they didn’t seem to be here for revenge.

“Holy Governor, please.” Li Tianming’s disciple token glowed, and then the Dao array of the Heavenly Fate Palace opened.

He was prepared to face whatever came his way; after all, he had the Boundary Planet.

Entering the Heavenly Fate Palace, Li Tianming sat down in a spot some distance from Wei Shendao.

Actually, there were tables and chairs inside the Cultivation Palace, but Li Tianming had rarely stayed there before and had never used them.

After Fu Moqian destroyed it last time, Li Muyun sent a new one when she ordered the Tianming Palace to be repaired.

Wei Shendao had just sat down when she saw Li Tianming sit down a table away from her, her brows furrowing slightly.

She got up and sat down next to Li Tianming, displeased, “Why are you so far away from me? I won’t hurt you.”

As she approached, a fresh and elegant fragrance wafted towards Li Tianming like a gust of wind, seemingly trying to force its way into his nose.

But Li Tianming was a veteran of countless battles, and he remained calm, saying, “This disciple is afraid that I haven’t maintained a proper distance and may have offended the Holy Governor. If the Holy Governor is pleased, you may sit wherever you wish in the Tianming Palace.”

Wei Shendao smiled sweetly, “Anywhere is fine—”

“Then I’ll sit here.”

“Please, do as you please.” Li Tianming’s expression remained unchanged, neither humble nor arrogant.

Wei Shendao said leisurely, “Actually, I’ve been paying attention to you since the Desolate Star System, when you claimed to have taken down the Only Emperor. For someone so young to have such ambition, daring to do what others wouldn’t, even I admire you.”

“You flatter me, Grand Governor,” Li Tianming said matter-of-factly. “Compared to your achievements, mine is nothing but child’s play.”

Wei Shendao extended a flawless white finger and waved it, “Not at all. I still greatly admire ambitious young people like you. As a cosmic cultivator, one must have this kind of drive to reach great heights!”

“This resolute character truly reminds me of my youth. Time really flies; I’m getting old now.”

Wei Shendao said with a hint of melancholy.

“Whether in terms of the lifespan of a cosmic cultivator or in terms of beauty, Grand Governor, you are far from old,” Li Tianming said with a slight smile.

Although Li Tianming was reluctant to take the topic, the other party had so clearly hinted at it. If he didn’t go along with what they said and displeased them, he would only make another enemy. If he could resolve an enemy with a single sentence, it would be a huge win!

Upon hearing this, Wei Shendao’s eyes shone even brighter. She carefully examined Li Tianming and said, “Compared to the image, you are even more handsome in person. I’ve heard that you inherited three bloodline abilities from your ancestors. What clan do you belong to for your hair and eye color?”

Li Tianming paused slightly and quickly lied, “It’s not unique to any one clan, but rather a result of mutation from the mixing of multiple bloodlines. There’s no fixed number; it might be a unique case.”

Wei Shendao covered her mouth and laughed, “Such a combination is quite distinctive. Although the disciples of my Living Spirit Emperor Clan are all handsome, they all appear too effeminate. Someone as masculine as you is much more…” “Like a man.”

Li Tianming said, embarrassed. “Aesthetic tastes differ, why bother judging which is better? I see many female disciples actually prefer effeminate and handsome men.”

Wei Shendao didn’t dwell on it further, but instead asked with sparkling eyes, “I’m very curious, if you were to combine with a member of the Living God Clan again, what kind of physical characteristics would your offspring have?”

Li Tianming quickly waved his hands, saying, “Holy Governor, please don’t frighten your disciple. I am but a mixed-blood, how dare I defile the bloodline of the Guardian Emperor Clan? Besides, I am still young…”

Regardless of the other party’s purpose, such words must be responded to, otherwise there might be more trouble.

Therefore, the best way to refuse is to make fun of oneself, after all, these people who claim to have noble bloodlines are the most prejudiced against bloodlines.

“Tianming, don’t be nervous, I was just joking.” Seeing Li Tianming’s reaction, Wei Shendao said with a smile.

Then Wei Shendao slapped her smooth, fair forehead, appearing somewhat naive, and said, “We were so engrossed in our conversation that I almost forgot about something important.”

She then continued, “Tianming, regarding the conflict between my daughter, Wei Wuji, and you, I apologize on her behalf. I failed to provide her with companionship and proper guidance from a young age. Her grandmother, pitying her loneliness, spoiled her too much. Ultimately, I am the root cause, and I hope you can accept my apology.” Given

the other party’s high status and sincere words, Li Tianming certainly couldn’t contradict her.

He smiled magnanimously and said, “Governor-General’s words frighten me. This is nothing more than a minor squabble between young people. Please don’t take it to heart, and I have never taken it to heart either.”

Upon hearing this, Wei Shendao narrowed his eyes and smiled charmingly, saying, “What a good child. It’s wonderful that you can forgive Wuji. I will discipline her more in the future. Young people really don’t need to make so many deadly enemies. Otherwise, how many talented people who can serve the Heavenly Emperor Sect will be lost in vain.”
