Chapter 55 Shock
Earlier in the morning, after Xiao Wei and the knight left,.
There were many things going on today; blue goblins were checking different metals of this world with shining eyes.
Some Knights were training simply. Some were stationed around the city, guarding important places like stores, while others were sent to nearby cities, towns, and villages by the Chamber of Commerce to protect trade routes.
Luis, however, was playing with Pipi. He has not given any work for now; since being scolded by his mother, he has recognized many things.
Every day he was spending enough time with her playing and feeding properly. It will not be too late for her to work after she is promoted to Big Fairy.

Turtle Martial Hall
Cai Tian was currently with Marcos, a friend he had made over the past month.
"Young Master is looking for you." Marcos, after some talking, directly came to the point, "He will give you a chance to advance to Innate Realm."
Marcos stroked his beard as he observed Cai Tian, patiently waiting for his response.
Cai Tian, however, began thinking, 'Is Han Long really going to fulfill his promise?
He still remembers his talk with Han Long. Han Long praised him for being smart.
'I thought he was going to catch the rebels from the kingdom. Why is he building his own force here? Why is he creating his chamber of commerce? Is he even from the Royal Family?'
Though only a brief moment had passed, countless thoughts raced through his mind.
After thinking for a few more moments, he sighed and nodded to Marcos. Whether he wanted to or not, he had no choice but to go—his lack of strength left him little room to refuse.
Despite he and Marcos talking like friends, Marcos strength is in an innate realm much stronger than his.
"Let's not waste time then; let's go now." Marcos, hearing Cai Tian, stood up and walked out.
Cai Tian sighed again, not knowing what the future would hold. He stood up and followed Marcos through the yard of Turtle Martial Hall.
Along the way, he saw many of his students who bowed respectfully at him. All the students were curiously looking at Marcos. This old man is a member of a new powerful Sirius gang.
At the final entrance of Turtle Martial Hall in the reception desk, Guo Guang was eating the meat with enjoyment. However, his quick eyes noticed Cai Tian and Marcos.
He quickly stopped chewing the meat and swallowed it directly.
"I will be gone for a while; if someone searches for me, tell them I am in Sirius Gang Headquarters." Cai Tian's voice drifted as he walked past Guo Guang.
Guo Guang watched the fading figure of two old guys for some more time before looking back at his meat.
Nothing in life is better than sleeping and eating all day.

After walking around the whole town, Cai Tian entered inside the Sirius Headquarters, and the sight along the way shocked him.
In the training ground that he passed, he saw many people training his Turtle Martial Arts. This was not the most shocking thing; the strength he felt from them was at least a late-stage body-training warrior.
Some among them could even channel qi through their bodies. Cai Tian was in awe as he saw so many strong people at one place. If only a portion of warriors are taken out from here, they can create their own gang dominating a town.
Cai Tian glanced around a bit longer as he quietly followed Marcos with cautiousness.
After some more walking, he saw Luis sitting there playing with a tiny creature. That thing seems to be a tiny girl with wings.
"You are here, Cai Tian; sit down." Luis instructed, seeing the guest, "You can retreat, Marcos."
At Luis' command, Marcos bowed slightly and retreated. Cai Tian, still feeling cautious, sat down, his eyes lingering curiously on Pipi.
He quickly withdrew his eyes from her, as this was inappropriate and might make Luis angry.
"Sir Han, long time no see," Cai Tian bowed slightly as he started the conversation awkwardly.
Luis smiled and didn't say anything. He was staring at Cai Tian with a piercing gaze.
Cai Tian couldn't help but feel uneasy under Luis' piercing stare. The young man he had casually spoken with months ago had now grown so powerful that the gap between them felt insurmountable.
"Are you willing to be under my command?" Luis broke the silence.
Cai Tian hearing this nodded vigorously. From the moment Marcos had asked him to come to the Sirius Headquarters, he had known this moment would come. The sight of those powerful warriors along the way solidified his resolve.
"Recite this oath with sincerity." Luis handed a note to Cai Tian with the Heavenly Dao Oath: "Don't have any second thoughts; otherwise, you will not be able to bear the consequences of heaven."
"I, Cai Tian, solemnly swear before the heavens that I will follow Luis Hartmann with unwavering loyalty. Should I ever betray this vow, may the heavens strike me down with heart demons and unleash the fury of the Heavenly Tribulation upon my soul."
The process was the same as Xiao Wei; Luis could see a while substance, which might be a soul or spirit being connected to his vortex.
Under the shocked expression of Cai Tian, he opened a vortex.
"Quickly enter this and return back after you have accepted the memories." Luis urged Cai Tian
Cai Tian quickly came back to his senses and vigilantly entered the vortex.
In just a few moments, he held his head, accepting all those memories. He opened his eyes and looked at Luis in disbelief.
"You can call me Boss from now on," Luis ignored Cai Tian. Look, "Go coordinate with Marcos; he will familiarize you with everything."
"Yes, boss," Cai Tian walked out of the room with hurried steps.
Luis was left with Pipi, who was flying around the room. His expression was extremely serious.
"After returning to barony, I will search for immortals in this world, Xiao Wei. I hope you won't disappoint me." He murmured, closing his eyes, making different plans for the future.
