The Supreme God of Martial Arts novel Chapter 621

If my calculation is right, the next day the pool can be used is the thirty-fifth day from today. That is about the time we'll arrive at the sect if everything goes smoothly.

At that time, our Cyan Sect will select three honored disciples of the Sky Realm cultivation base to have a comfortable and relaxing bath in the pool. Of course, cultivation base isn't the only thing that determines who is chosen. Good reputation and contribution to the sect are also critical factors that are considered."

Austin started to realize Sissi's true intentions.

"If what you're saying is true, the Vital Energy Cleansing Pool you have is something that any cultivator would kill for.

But I wonder, what does it have to do with my departure?"

Austin asked curtly without any hesitation.

Sissi burst into laughter at his straightforwardness; she liked dealing with such people. "Since you're a smart man, I won't skirt around the subject and bore you.

What I want is simple: to have you as my bodyguard throughout this whole trip.

If you ensure safe passage back to the sect for us, I'll be more than willing to pay back your favor. Of course, I can only think of giving you the best thing that my sect has to offer in return. I've just explained to you about the restrictions that the pool has. If you can be so kind as to escort me back, I assure you that you'll be one of the three people who will bathe in the pool this time.

What do you think? Do you think that we can have a deal?"

Sissi asked, smiling softly.

Austin didn't answer at once. It was clear that he was weighing the pros and cons of the situation in his mind. Escorting them to their sect might be dangerous, but it would grant him the opportunity of gaining vital energy and speeding up his cultivation base. He looked at the disciples of the Cyan Sect, and found that all were looking at him with admiration on their faces. Obviously, they all knew the value of that Vital Energy Cleansing Pool and were all looking forward to having a bath in it one day. Even Tessa had a look of astonishment and jealousy on her face after hearing Sissi's words.

They hadn't expected Sissi to offer Austin such a thing even as a last resort. From the day they were enlisted, it had been clear that the pool wasn't open to outsiders. But now, Austin might very well become the first outsider to enjoy that honor.

"Sissi, would you please reconsider your offer?

You know the pool is an honor reserved for the disciples of our own sect. Although this young hero will do us a great favor by protecting us, he is still an outsider.

I'm afraid that inviting him to our pool will bring discord in the sect. Please rethink this plan," one of the men from the Cyan Sect said. He was carrying a giant shield on his back.
