Past life sage: This life a dual cultivator

'Heavenly sword sect, you will pay for this', Zhan Chen sweared inside his mind before looking at Kai Min, Li Yan and Li Shu.

"I need to sleep for a while to recover. Take care", Zhan Chen spoke before falling asleep on the back of the shadow panther.

"Uuu", Li Shu who was holding back her tear finally couldn't control herself as she started to sob. The eyes of Kai Min also became teary after seeing the condition of Zhan Chen.

Li Yan was more strong willed than them as she knew what to do in such a situation. She was quick enough to prepare a bed for Zhan Chen with her clothes.

She took Zhan Chen from the back of the shadow panther and placed his body on top of her clothes. Kai Min came over to help and it was easy for both of the girls to make arrangements for Zhan Chen.

Kai Min wiped away the blood on Zhan Chen's face. Then she started to remove his robe to see if there was any more injury on his body.

All of them took a sigh in relief after seeing no more visible injury on his upper body. They clothed him up once again and sat nearby to look after him.

The shadow panther who was waiting nearby came over to Zhan Chen after the girls done treating him. She licked his face in the hope of waking him. But her attempts proved futile as Zhan Chen didn't wake up even after her sincere attempts.

She gave up finally and laid nearby to protect Zhan Chen from any danger.

"Sis, is young master going to be fine?", Li Shu looked towards Li Yan.

"I am not sure", Li Yan shook her head as a worried look appeared on her face. Zhan Chen who was sleeping peacefully didn't know how worried the three girls were for him. He took a good rest and woke up only after it was afternoon next day.

A surprised expression appeared on his face as soon as he tried to look at his condition. "How is this possible?", he murmured to himself after looking at his own condition.

All his injuries were healing slowly even without the help of his essence energy. Zhan Chen tried to look at the cause for such oddity and an amazed expression appeared on his face after seeing a small mark on his chest.

"The sacred mark of tree deity! So, she is still here to protect her descendants!", Zhan Chen murmured to himself as a look of respect appeared in his eyes.

The mark on his chest was a symbol depicting three golden leaves. It was the insignia of ancient Zhan clan and considered sacred for all the members of Zhan clan.

"Young master, are you okay?", the worried voice of Li Shu came after she saw Zhan Chen murmuring something after opening his eyes.

"Ah! I am sorry. I have just discovered something. So, I have forgot to greet you all", Zhan Chen spoke with a smile on his face.

"Young master Chen, how is your injuries?", Kai Min asked. "I just need to cultivate for a while and it will be good", Zhan Chen replied.

He looked at the memory of shadow panther and found out what happened during the time he had fallen asleep. He saw how the worried the girls were for him including the big girl, shadow panther.

"I will remember this", he thought to himself and took a look at Li Yan, Li Shu and Kai Min. "Thank you girls. Sorry for making you worried", Zhan Chen spoke.

"Zhan Chen, who are they? Why they have come to attack you?", Li Yan looked towards Zhan Chen with an extremely serious look on her face.

"Huh! No young master today?", Zhan Chen looked towards Li Yan with surprise in his eyes. He was used to her adress as 'young master Chen'. So, he felt a little surprise after seeing her calling him by his name.

"I have decided to call you by your name. Is it fine with you?", Li Yan asked Zhan Chen.

"Why should there be a problem? I am fine with whatever you girls call me", Zhan Chen replied with a smile on his face.

He chose to disclose the name of the enemy infront of the three girls as he didn't want any of them to join any sect related to his enemies.

A thoughtful look appeared on Li Yan's face after she heard the words of Zhan Chen. "Okay, I will not go to Heavenly sword sect", she spoke after thinking for a while.

"But sis, how are you going to explain it to clan?", Li Shu asked Li Yan.

"I don't know", she replied with a lost expression on her face.

"What is the matter? Why do she have to join the Heavenly sword sect?", Zhan Chen asked Li Shu.

"Young master, it is related to Ba clan", Li Shu replied. Li Yan wanted to stop her but Zhan Chen insisted on learning the matter.

"Young master, you have never heard of Ba clan?", Li Shu looked towards Zhan Chen with a surprised expression on her face.

Zhan Chen shook his head as he had never heard of such a clan before.

"Ba clan is one of the most powerful clan of our province. Some of their cultivators have joined the imperial army and the Heavenly sword sect", Kai Min spoke from the side.

"So, what is with this Ba clan? What do they have to do with you?", Zhan Chen looked towards Li Yan.

"All of this is the fault of that Ba Tian. He is the youngest descendant of their clan head and so, he is pampered by all of their members. He came to know about sister and came with an elder of their Ba clan to ask for her hand.

Our clan did not agree, ofcourse. So, they have played another trick and arranged an outer disciple position for sis in the Heavenly sword sect", Li Shu explained.

"So, this is what happened", Zhan Chen nodded his head in understanding after hearing the complete matter.

He threw a look at Li Yan and spoke, "You really do have an appearance that can mesmerize some young fools".

"What do you mean by young fools?", Li Yan became incensed after hearing the words of Zhan Chen. The gloominess in her eyes disappeared which replaced by anger towards Zhan Chen.

Kai Min and Li Shu smiled after seeing Li Yan like this. It only took some words for Zhan Chen to distract her like this.

"You don't have to worry about joining a sect. I will take care of this after the completion of grand sect competition", Zhan Chen spoke.

"I will try for a place on my own", Li Yan spoke. Zhan Chen smiled after hearing her words. He didn't say anything that would further irritate her.

"It is time for me to become more prudent. I have never thought that Heavenly sword sect would send a late Tribulation realm expert to deal with me", Zhan Chen thought to himself.

"I have to ensure our safety and grab as many chances as I can to increase my strength.

"For that, I have to take the help of an ally", Zhan Chen thought to himself and took out a communication tailsman given by the Lu clan grand elder.
