Chapter 17: The Sect Mistress Confronts Lin Tian & A Late-Night Intruder
The Strongest Disciple of the Azure Moon Sect
Lin Tian stood in the center of the arena, basking in the deafening cheers of the sect.
đź’¬ "Lin Tian is the strongest disciple now?!"
đź’¬ "He won every fight without struggling!"
đź’¬ "Even the Sect Mistress was watching him closely!"
Lin Tian cracked his knuckles, letting out a slow breath.
The tournament was over.
He had dominated every opponent, including the so-called "strongest disciple," Liu Feng.
And now?
He was undeniably at the top.
But just as he was about to leave the arena—
A powerful presence washed over him.
The air grew heavier.
The excited murmurs of the crowd died down.
Lin Tian's smirk faded slightly as his sharp instincts flared.
Someone was watching him with intensity.
Slowly, he turned his gaze upward—
And locked eyes with Sect Mistress Yue Qingyan.
She stood in the VIP pavilion, her violet eyes unreadable, her silver hair flowing in the wind like cascading moonlight.
Even from this distance, Lin Tian could feel it.
An undeniable tension.
And then—
She spoke.
"Lin Tian. Come to my chambers. Now."
The entire sect fell silent.
đź’¬ "..."
đź’¬ "Wait, did she just summon him privately?!"
đź’¬ "What is going on between them?!"
Lin Tian tilted his head, a slow grin forming on his lips.
đź’ "Well, well. Looks like the Sect Mistress finally lost control."
With a relaxed stride, he turned and walked away, following the Sect Mistress's command—
As the entire sect watched in absolute disbelief.
A Dangerous Confrontation: Yue Qingyan's Hidden Struggle
The Sect Mistress's private chambers were located deep within the Azure Moon Sect's core palace.
Only the most trusted elders and direct disciples had ever stepped inside.
But now—
Lin Tian walked in without hesitation, his smirk unwavering.
Inside, the chamber was dimly lit, the scent of spirit incense and lotus flowers lingering in the air.
Yue Qingyan stood by the open window, her back turned to him, her long silver hair cascading down her elegant blue robe.
The moonlight bathed her figure in a soft glow, making her appear almost otherworldly.
For a moment, Lin Tian admired the view.
Then—
She spoke.
"You've grown too strong too quickly," she said, her voice calm yet filled with something deeper.
Lin Tian chuckled. "Is that a bad thing?"
She finally turned to face him.
And for the first time—he saw it.
A hint of frustration in her usually cold, controlled violet eyes.
đź’ "Oh? She's actually showing emotion now?"
"You're reckless," Yue Qingyan said, stepping closer, her movements precise yet filled with an unfamiliar tension.
"You don't follow the rules of cultivation. You don't respect hierarchy. And now… you've caught the attention of people you shouldn't."
Lin Tian raised an eyebrow.
đź’ "People I shouldn't?"
He grinned. "Let me guess—you're talking about Elder Su?"
[Ding! Silver Tongue Effect Activated!]
For the briefest moment, Yue Qingyan's lips parted slightly, as if she wasn't expecting him to be so direct.
But she quickly recovered, her gaze sharpening.
"Su Meiyu is dangerous," she stated.
Lin Tian chuckled. "And what about you, Sect Mistress? Are you dangerous?"
Silence.
Yue Qingyan exhaled slowly, her fingers tightening slightly around the fabric of her robe.
"You don't understand," she murmured.
Lin Tian stepped closer.
"Then explain it to me."
She hesitated.
Her gaze flickered, as if she was at war with herself.
💠"She's struggling. She doesn't know whether to push me away… or pull me closer."
And for some reason—
That thought excited him.
He leaned in slightly, lowering his voice.
"Or… are you afraid, Sect Mistress?"
[Ding! Yue Qingyan's composure wavers! Favorability +4!]
Her breath hitched ever so slightly.
But before she could say anything—
A sudden gust of wind blew through the room, making the silk curtains flutter.
Lin Tian's eyes sharpened.
Someone was here.
A Late-Night Intruder
BOOM!
The doors to Yue Qingyan's chambers burst open, and a figure stepped inside without hesitation.
Lin Tian turned sharply, his instincts flaring.
A woman stood in the doorway, her presence commanding yet eerily calm.
She was mature, her midnight-black hair tied in a loose braid, her deep crimson robes embroidered with golden phoenix designs.
Her eyes—piercing scarlet—locked onto Lin Tian with a mixture of amusement and intrigue.
💬 "Wait… who is this?!"
💬 "Is she… another elder?!"
Lin Tian's Milf Conqueror System chimed.
[Ding! New Milf Target Detected!]
Name: Jiang Yuyan (Scarlet Moon Elder, Former Sect Mistress).
Cultivation: Spirit Emperor Realm.
Special Trait: Dominance & Control.
Status: Highly Amused & Testing You.
Lin Tian's eyes widened slightly.
💠"Wait… former Sect Mistress?!"
Jiang Yuyan's lips curved into a slow, sultry smile.
"My, my," she purred, stepping forward. "I leave the sect for a few years… and when I return, I find an interesting little disciple making waves."
She stopped in front of him, her crimson eyes scanning him slowly, deliberately.
"Lin Tian, is it?"
Lin Tian grinned. "That's me."
She tilted her head slightly, studying him.
"You've certainly caught the attention of the sect's finest women."
Her gaze flicked toward Yue Qingyan briefly before returning to Lin Tian.
"But the question is… can you handle another?"
The air in the room thickened.
Lin Tian felt it instantly.
A new player had entered the game.
And this one…
Might be the most dangerous Milf yet.
