Chapter 494 Friends And Enemies

Xia Tian took a deep breath after hearing that. He then looked up at the sky and clenched his fists tightly, and he shouted in his heart. 'Damn you, Fate!'

"What's wrong with you, Tian?" Nalan Qing asked with concern.

Xia Tian shook his head at her. "Anyway, about this ancient ruin, I think I guessed right about this one."

"Hmm?" The four women looked at him seriously.

"I believe that this ancient ruin belongs to the Dark Race, but I don't understand how it can appear in the Seven Star World." Xia Tian then looked at them. "If we have entered this ancient ruin, you guys have to be very careful when you explore it later. Especially the three of you, Xian'er, Youling, and Quexian."

"En, we understand." The three of them nodded in agreement, especially when they saw that Xia Tian's expression was more serious than usual.

Feng Xian'er then flew over to Situ Meiqi and Qin Qing, who were quite far away from them, and she warned them about Xia Tian's words.

However, Qin Qing instead responded scornfully, making Feng Xian'er shake her head helplessly.

Nalan Qing then asked him. "Anyway, Tian, the Dark Race disappeared a long time ago, right? So how did the ruins of their race come to be on this planet?"

"Sigh, I can't understand it myself, but I think this is all Fate's doing. You three should already know that everything in this universe is controlled by Fate, including our lives." Xia Tian replied with a low sigh, and they simply nodded to him. "If I think about things carefully, I'm sure everything that happened on this planet was orchestrated by Fate long ago, including my reincarnation and the others' on this planet. However, I don't know Fate's true purpose since no one can understand Fate's will."

"In that case, it would be better if we went to see that old man, right?" Nalan Qing said with a frown.

"Forget it, that old god stick has always kept things to himself." Xia Tian then imitated the Oracle's style of speech: "Heaven's secrets cannot be revealed."

"Pft!" The three women guffawed at that.

Fan Youling then said. "Young Master Xia, you are the only person who dares to do such a thing. If someone else had done it, the Oracle would definitely have punished them."

Xia Tian nonchalantly shrugged his shoulders, and indeed, no one except him dared to make fun of the Oracle. 'Sigh, looks like I have to go visit that old man before he meets his end.'

While they were having a small talk, the four of them suddenly looked up at the sky, and several flying artifacts moved towards them.

The first to land in front of them were the party from Twin Star Sword Sect, Mei Yin, Xiao Yuxi, and Yang Yao.

Mei Yin instantly frowned when she saw Xia Tian getting intimate with Nalan Qing. Although she had met her before, they weren't a couple at that time, so she had never seen them so intimate before. 'Tsk, this guy really is a pervert, and the number of women by his side keeps growing.'

Nalan Qing only smiled at her expression, and Xia Tian blatantly asked without caring about Xiao Yuxi and Yang Yao's presence. "Hey, Mei Yin. Did you miss me? I heard from Yunzhi that you looked to me in the sect a few days ago."

Xiao Yuxi and Yang Yao raised their eyebrows upon hearing Xia Tian call Mei Yin disrespectfully, but she immediately stopped them and shook her head, then she answered his question. "I did look for you in the sect a few days ago, but I have no intention of seeing you again now."

'That woman isn't good at pretending; clearly she has something on her mind to talk to him about!' Nalan Qing, Fan Quexian, and Fan Youling said the same thing in their hearts.

"Up to you then." Xia Tian responded indifferently; he himself had never been interested in Mei Yin, and he had only teased her back then.

"You-" Mei Yin hurriedly swallowed her words back and took a deep breath, then she walked over to the stone formation array to study it.

Xiao Yuxi and Yang Yao exchanged glances for a moment, were confused by Mei Yin's reaction, and then followed her.

"Aren't you attracted to her, Tian?" Nalan Qing curiously asked.

Xia Tian shook his head and replied casually. "No, she's a lily, and she only loves her twin sister."

"She is a lily?" The three women were surprised to hear that.

"That's right." Xia Tian nodded. "Back at Xia Manor, she came and asked me about my relationship with Mei Yun, and I could see that she was deeply in love with her twin sister. But I wasn't surprised by that; after all, they were identical twins, so the bond between them was slightly different from other twins."

Suddenly, two other people landed not far from them, and they looked at Xia Tian differently. The woman looked at him curiously, and the man looked at him hatefully.

Fan Quexian raised her eyebrows at the man and whispered. 'Why does that man hate you so much, Tian? And he appears eager to rip you apart.'

'Of course, he hates me a lot; that's because I beat him up about a month and a half ago.' Xia Tian replied with a chuckle, and he then said to the man. "Hey, Ling Xin! Do you want me to gouge out your eyes?"

Gao Lan sighed in her heart, and she had no intention of interfering with the matters between them. Then she walked away to inspect the other rock formations.

"You-!" Ling Xin didn't have time to curse Xia Tian, and cold sweat was already dripping from his forehead.

"You what?" Xia Tian's gaze became extremely sharp; his killing intent shot out and enveloped Ling Xin, causing him to tremble intensely. "Unfortunately, I can't kill you, or else Chen'er will hate me. But you better be prepared; the next time she appears before you, it will be the last day of your life."

After saying that, Xia Tian immediately retracted his killing intent and looked up into the sky, seeing an old man flying towards them.

"Haha! I didn't expect you to come here too, Kid!" Hua Shitian said as he landed in front of Xia Tian and the others, but he noticed the situation was a bit off. Then he turned to Ling Xin, who was still trembling heavily and breaking out in cold sweat. "Haish! This guy is really an idiot! He's always looking for trouble with you."

"Just let him be, old man."

Ling Xin immediately calmed himself down and went after Gao Lan, and he could only swallow his anger at Xia Tian's treatment of him.

Hua Shitian nodded and patted Xia Tian on the shoulder; he then glanced at Nalan Qing, Fan Youling, and Fan Quexian. "Hey, Kid! When are you going to bring my daughter back? Don't tell me that you have forgotten my daughter, because you have many beauties like them by your side."

"Hey, old man, if you feel that you are that strong, you should go to the Holy Central Continent to pick up your daughter." Xia Tian replied with a shake of his head, causing Hua Shitian to laugh wryly. "Of course, I want to pick up Xiangyue as soon as possible, but I don't have the strength to do that right now. However, once I break through to the Heaven Origin Realm, I will definitely pick her up."

"Do you want me to pick up Hua Xiangyue from there, Tian?" Nalan Qing asked; she herself had known for a long time that she was one of his women, not to mention that she was the one who brought her and her mother to meet Xia Tian.

But Xia Tian shook his head. "Xiangyue is now a disciple of the Sheng Imperial Sect, so just leave her there for a while so she can improve her alchemy."

"Anyway, which level is your current cultivation, Kid?" Hua Shitian had long been curious about Xia Tian's true cultivation, because he had never been able to feel it since the first time he met her.

Xia Tian smiled faintly and displayed his cultivation level for a moment, and it shocked Hua Shitian so much that he was speechless. Before long, he took a deep breath and said. "You really are a freaking genius, kid! 17 years old, but your cultivation has already reached the 3rd Stage of the Earth Origin Realm. Sigh, I hope you break through to the Heaven Origin Realm soon; that way you can bring my daughter back here."

"Old man, you don't need to worry; I will definitely break through to Heaven Origin Realm soon."

"I trust you, kid." Hua Shitian did not doubt Xia Tian's words one bit.
