The Against Heaven
Chapter 38: Older Junior Sister



Nan Huairen was just envious, he did not want to become a victim of the Revolving Crescent Service Law. Everyone knew that cultivating this method would result in traps, created by its effects that were impossible to break out, becoming trash in the end.


Seeing Nan Huairen's expression, Li Han Tian simply smiled and said nothing more.


****************


The next day, Li Han Tian woke up early, as usual to cultivate. However, when he opened the door, he was surprised that there was an old man standing still outside.


It was an old man, around the age of fifty to sixty. He wore a robe made of vines, his face slender with no facial hair, but his eyes were very lively. Although he was old, his back was straight and his spirit was high.


“Senior, good morning!” The old man respectfully clapped his hands when he saw Li Han Tian.


“Eh!” Li Han Tian did not know what to say. He was always calm and collective at the sight of life, but he was confused by the current events. If Nan Huairen's son called him “senior”, that would be acceptable; however, this was an old man, aged around fifty to sixty years old, respectfully calling a thirteen-year-old boy like him a senior, it was a confusing thing for him.


Li Han Tian gathered back his intelligence and said: “ Elder, you must be wrong, I am not your senior.”


The old man looked around, and turned his gaze back to Li Han Tian and asked: “This place is the peak of the Main Disciple Residence?”


“Ya!” Li Han Tian replied honestly. If this old man did not have a good spirit, he would think this was a meeting with a mentally ill patient.


“You are Li Han Tian the Main Disciple of our Heaven Ancient Sect, right?”


Li Han Tian obediently replied honestly again: “Ya, I am Li Han Tian.”


The old man smiled and formally lowered his head, then said: “Then it is true, and you are the Main Disciple, which means you are my senior. ”


“Eh!” Li Han Tian suddenly fell silent, he was sure the old man was not the wrong person. But in the end, having the old man calling him senior felt very strange and uncomfortable.


“Sorry, sorry, I'm late!” At this moment, Nan Huairen breathlessly rushed in from outside and smiled.


When Nan Huairen arrived, he saw Li Han Tian and the old man standing silently before the door. He coughed awkwardly, then did their introduction: “First Brother, this is Second Brother. Second Sister, this..”.


“I know, she's First Brother!” Before Nan Huairen could finish, the old man cut him off and solemnly replied.


“Nice to meet you, second brother!” Li Han Tian hesitantly gave a polite response.


The old man nodded, showed a very sweet smile, and said: “Senior, this younger brother's name is Tu Buyu. I am also the second disciple of the Sect Master. Since you are the Prime Disciple, you are the eldest brother of all. of our third generation disciples.”


Seeing his friendly smile, Li Han Tian's head trembled. He wanted to shout: Uncle, I am only thirteen years old and you are fifty to sixty years old, please do not pretend to be ashamed in front of me and call yourself “adik”.


Finally, Li Han Tian invited Tu Buyu into the house, then he dragged Nan Huairen aside and asked: “What's wrong?”


Having a younger brother like this old man, Li Han Tian was at a loss for words.


“Eh!” This time, it was Nan Huairen's turn who didn't know what to answer. It took a while before he calmly replied: “My brother, a few days ago, I already told you that the second brother will be back.”


Li Han Tian, of course, knew about the return of the second brother because Nan Huairen had told him this, but he did not notice. He thought that the second disciple of Sect Master Su Yonghuang would be around thirty years old, at most forty. But this younger brother in front of him was at least fifty years old. He was shocked and shocked to have a younger brother this old.


“My brother, he is indeed Tu Buyu, the second disciple of the Sect Master.” Nan Huairen said confidently. In fact, before, the Sect Master only had Tu Buyu as a disciple; li Han Tian had recently been under the wings of the Sect Master.


Li Han Tian pondered for a moment. He had yet to meet his master, but only this fifty-year-old second brother.


However, it was true that he was the Main Disciple and with that status, all third generation disciples, regardless of their age had to call him “brother.”


“How many older disciples do we have here in the Heaven Ancient Sect?” Li Han Tian glanced at Nan Huairen and asked. Imagining the scene where a group of old men gathered around him and respectfully called him “kakak”, Li Han Tian could not bear it.


After hearing his reply, Li Han Tian sighed in relief and walked towards Tu Buyu: “When Junior Tu is back? Is the Master back with you? ”


“Dear brother, this little brother is back alone.I just..” Tu Buyu said with a serious and friendly smile that opened.


Li Han Tian immediately cut it off and said: “Sister, you are sixty years old; please don't be too polite, you shorten my life. ”


“Dear brother, I am only one thousand six hundred and seventy-five years old this year.” Tu Buyu, while keeping a friendly smile, replied in seriousness.


“Brakkk!” Li Han Tian staggered, almost falling down after hearing his reply. Not only him, but even Nan Huairen could not stand up straight.


“Can, can you repeat it ..” Li Han Tian almost died choking on his own saliva. A thousand-year-old man called him an older brother. Gosh, does someone really need a younger brother this old?


“This little brother is one thousand six hundred seventy-five years old.” Tu Buyu slowly repeated without changing his tone.


Li Han Tian glared at Nan Huairen, and Nan Huairen could only smile innocently; he himself had no idea that Tu Buyu was so old.


“Sister, are you okay? Do you want this sister to take a glass of water.” Seeing Li Han Tian's choking expression, Tu Buyu offered in a friendly manner.


Li Han Tian recovered and broke Tu Buyu's words in the middle of the sentence: “Grandfather, please stop calling yourself sister, I get goosebumps. First, I am only thirteen years old, you are over a thousand; you call me big brother just shortened my life. Second, this is the main point, why are you trying to be cute in front of me, calling yourself a little brother? Are you implying that I am really old compared to your age? Do I look so old? Huairen, do I look that old?”


Li Han Tian crazily spoke nonstop, Nan Huairen smiled inside. This was the first time he had seen this senior unable to contain his calm emotions.


However, under Li Han Tian's killing gaze, Nan Huairen could only smile and pretend to look elsewhere.


“If this is an elder brother's order, this younger brother ... no, I will obey respectfully.” Tu Buyu accepted, with a smile on his face.


“Excellent decision, young brother Tu.” Li Han Tian nodded in agreement.


Tu Buyu smilingly replied: “If it comes to heavenly brilliance, I am not on par with you.”


Tu Buyu's words made Nan Huairen speechless. He used to think that he was smooth and slippery, good at reading other people's minds, but this old man was even faster at flattering than he was. It seemed that Nan Huairen had met his opponent.


Li Han Tian simply smiled and naturally did not mind it. One could see that Tu Buyu was an interesting and ingenious person, someone who lived for a thousand years like him could call a thirteen-year-old boy “kak” in their first meeting. This type of person, if he was not a dangerous mastermind, then he would be a person who could read the circumstances, knowing what to do in every situation.


Of course, no matter what kind of person he was, he could not escape Li Han Tian's sight. He had seen many people; when reading people's minds and characters, very few could hide their intentions and nature in front of him. Otherwise, he would not have been able to teach Min Ren to be invincible.


Li Han Tian and Tu Buyu only chatted for a while, then said goodbye. In fact, Li Han Tian did not care much about Tu Buyu's goal of returning to the sect, so he did not bother to ask, this was no big deal to him. Li Han Tian only had one goal, which was to make himself strong, rebuild the Heaven Ancient Sect, and kill anyone who tried to block his steps, without leaving any enemies survivors!


****************


If Tu Buyu's appearance yesterday was strange and funny to Li Han Tian, then the news from Nan Huairen the next day was unexpected for him.


The next day, Nan Huairen and his master Protector Mo climbed to the top. They reported to Li Han Tian, giving the important news that tomorrow, Li Shuangyan the daughter of the Nine Heavenly Gate Sect, will come to the Heaven Ancient Sect.


As the person in charge of the marriage between the two factions, Protector Mo was the first to be informed of Li Shuangyan's arrival by the Nine Heavenly Gate Sect.


“Come here is fine, it is best to come after thinking about it fully. But if not, it is not a problem.” Li Han Tian was quite surprised. He thought that the Nine Heavenly Gate Sect would wait for eight or ten years, he did not expect that Li Shuangyan would come in less than a year.


Of course, if the Nine Heavenly Gate Sect had to wait for ten years before making a move, then Li Han Tian would not have opened the door for them. At that time, his wings would become full so there was no need for the Nine Heavenly Gate Sect to come. What he needs right now is a timely ally, not someone who will “ embroider flowers on a cotton cloth.”[1]


Protector Mo was too hesitant to ask Li Han Tian personally, so he winked at Nan Huairen. Nan Huairen understood his master, and had to bite the bullet to ask: “Senior, if Princess Li really wants to stay in our Sect, are you really going to make her a sword maid?”
