Return of the Immortal Emperor Daddy novel Chapter 580

Chapter 580: Chapter 581: Investiture of the Gods [6/10]

"So you won’t reply just because you don’t want to? What’s the problem?" Wu Tian said matter-of-factly.

"You’ll just refuse to reply because you don’t feel like it? Don’t you know that you must respond when the Princess questions you?" Yi Ren was furious. She felt he lacked basic courtesy. In the entire Immortal Emperor Realm, who would ever dare act this way? When a superior addressed an inferior, was there ever one who failed to reply?

"So what if she’s a princess? Are you planning to bully people with your status?" Wu Tian asked playfully, poking the little girl’s cheek.

"You..." Yi Ren was incensed. As the Grand Princess of Xiuyuan Country, she had never encountered such a situation. Whenever she, a princess, questioned anyone, they would always answer her honestly. But not this Wu Tian. Infuriating! This man is absolutely infuriating!

"You’re not busy, are you? Is it so difficult to answer a few questions?" Yi Ren asked, grinding her teeth.

"Very," Wu Tian said indifferently. "I was thinking of creating a faction, the Heavenless Gate, but unfortunately, it has no disciples..." After speaking, he looked Yi Ren and her sister up and down. "So, how about it? Which of you two wants to join and become the first disciple of the Heavenless Gate?"

"What?" Yi Ren immediately rejected the idea. What a joke! In the Immortal Emperor Realm, the master-disciple relationship was taken very seriously. A disciple who abandoned one sect for another would be utterly despised. Yi Ren had always dreamed of joining a major sect, which would finally convince her father, the King, to allow her to travel the world. With a sect’s protection, venturing out in a group would be exceptionally safe. But to join this so-called Heavenless Gate of Wu Tian’s? Only a fool would do that.

"Can I?" Si’er had liked Wu Tian from the moment she saw him and now asked naively, "Can I join your sect?"

"No, you can’t! Sister, you’re still young and don’t understand the profound impact joining a sect has on a person’s entire life. You can’t say such things lightly!" Yi Ren said, horrified, quickly trying to dissuade her.

Si’er was taken aback by her sister’s forceful objection, but her heart was set. It was the first time she had felt such a unique connection to a stranger. "No," she insisted. "I want to join the Heavenless Gate."

"Hey, Miss, you can’t seduce my dad," the little tyke in Wu Tian’s arms suddenly blurted out. If the interested party were a beautiful woman, the child wouldn’t mind her becoming a new mother to sleep beside her. But this girl was just a teenager. The little tyke was having none of it. At that point, it wasn’t even clear who would be taking care of whom.

Si’er’s face flushed with embarrassment at the comment.

Wu Tian looked Si’er up and down, then nodded. "Alright! You will be the first disciple of the Heavenless Gate."

"Sister!" Yi Ren cried in a panic.

"Right! So if I’m the disciple, that makes you the Sect Leader. Does our sect have lots and lots of Supreme Treasures?" Si’er asked, her excitement palpable.

Since she was just a child, Wu Tian indulged her. He raised an eyebrow and declared, "Yes, of course. I possess countless Supreme Treasures!"

And what Wu Tian said was the absolute truth. He possessed the legacy of all the gods and buddhas, which included not only their inheritance but also the Supreme Treasures of cultivators. He intended to recreate the Heavenless Immortal Domain, and this time, it would possess the might and authority of the Heavenly Court itself!

"Nonsense! What countless Supreme Treasures?" Yi Ren was growing frantic, desperate to dissuade her sister. "If you were really so powerful, why have I never even heard your name?"

But Si’er simply shook her head and huffed, "No, Sister. All my life, everyone has made my decisions for me. This time, I want to choose my own path."

I have to tell Royal Teacher Daozuo! she thought desperately. Royal Teacher Daozuo was the martial arts instructor King Xiuyuan had found for the princes and princesses. He was the only one she could think to turn to. Having decided, she acted immediately, scrambling to her feet and fleeing.

City Lord Guang watched this all unfold. Yi Ren has missed a golden opportunity! If the Wutian Celestial Emperor is truly back, this Heavenless Gate is destined to soar to the heavens!

"No, you’re not my disciple yet," Wu Tian said, suddenly recalling something important. The collapse of the Heavenless Immortal Domain... it couldn’t have been caused by external forces alone. That means there were traitors within. I cannot allow any traitors in the faction I’m building this time. But how can I prevent that?
