Heavenly Harem Sect

For now, Zuke decided to treat the young men with his utmost respect.

'He may be young, but being a master doesn't only limit to the Old Monsters, even a child could be immortal if the heavens permit' Zuke thought while gazing at Daniel with a mix of opinions.

"I apologize for my rudeness if I may appear so, but for you to see through my current body complexity speaks thousands of words of how capable you are" Zuke genuinely complimented.

"Young master...why would you still wish to recruit the daughter of the Lord of the Tristan Family? As I've mentioned, there's nothing that you can gain from it..."

Although he will admit that the young lad in front of him is a master, he still finds it strange why a master would seek his daughter.

It hurts for him to utter these words when Elizabeth was nearby, but he needed to as he wishes to discover for what reason Daniel wants to take his daughter as his disciple.

'I'm more than happy for a master wanting to take in my disciple...which is why, the idea itself is suspicious and if there's a chance that there are harmful intentions, I won't tolerate it

Zuke would rather protect his daughter forever than be taken by someone who may mistreat her.

"I know that she is incapable of cultivating...after all, I could see it within my eyes" Daniel smiled as he gazed toward Elizabeth.

"!?" She flinched in surprise and wondered why he was staring at her.

"What did you mean by that young master?" Zuke was clueless with his words.

"I mean, she's right there isn't she? Elizabeth Tristan?" Daniel eventually revealed and pointed his finger toward her.

"So...you do know us, young master, so why bother with the act?" Zuke was perturbed at how Daniel was clueless about them, yet, could still point his finger at his daughter.

"I really do not know until now," Daniel said and as expected, they had questioning looks on all their faces.

"You don't have to worry about that and it's worthless to think how I know. What's important now is whether or not your daughter wishes to take me as her master" Daniel said.

"Young master...to be honest, this is rather unexpected and too fast for me and my daughter to accept"

"Just today alone, our minds are full of stress far beyond what we ever had experienced, and it's to the point I'm unsure of your motive"

"I apologized if I made a mistake with my words, but I can't help it as someone who's concerned for his daughter" Zuke spoke without holding back.

"I understand your worry as a father and I respect that and it's truly commendable" Daniel was genuinely impressed with Zuke's love towards his daughter.

Should it be expected as a father or should it be unexpected that he wasn't planning on using her daughter for connections?

'Well, either way, Elizabeth is fortunate to have a father like him. Otherwise, she may be in a worse state than she is. For someone who can't cultivate especially if you're royalty, that's just an embarrassment for them'

Daniel expressed the world of royalty within one paragraph and it was true that if you're royalty, there's a constant battle every day without a stop.

"But...if I had a motive towards you...then, all of you wouldn't see another day of light" Zuke had goosebumps when gazing at Daniel's eyes and he took a step backward.

"This is not a threat, but rather, there's no point for me using underhanded methods...if I could simply do this..." Daniel snapped his finger...and all of the sudden, all of them including the 100 cultivators had teleported into another land.

"What's going on!?"

"Where is this!?"

"I-Isn't this the Land of Forsaken!? Why are we here!?"

Before they could tell what was going on, Daniel snapped his fingers once again.

"Why have we come to the Demonic Land!?"

He snapped again.

"The Spirit Land!"

Again.

"Inferno Temporal Land!"

And again and Again, and after a few more times of teleportation, they returned to where they stood, and all of them dropped their butts onto the ground as they witnessed an incomprehensible being.

"Y-You're at the Ascended Rank!?" Zuke trembled as he pointed out, and the rest who heard that was shaken as well.

"Brother is that true!?" Luke had begun to fear the young lad.

"Y-Yes. Once a cultivator has entered the Ascended Rank, he can tear through the space and void and teleport anywhere he wants, and that's the significance of being an Ascended Rank" Zuke recalled information about the ascended rank.

"Forgive for my rudeness earlier on, Master!" Zuke had realized how foolish of him to declare that he had a motive when in reality, he could wipe them out with just a word alone.

And an ascended rank couldn't be found anywhere. Even in this city, there's not a single cultivator above the Origin Rank, let alone the Ascended Rank.

Now that Zuke realized the importance of the young man, and how ridiculous of him to assume that he was here to harm his daughter, he kneeled with his head on the ground.

"F-Father" Elizabeth was clueless and she didn't know what being an Ascended Rank meant but experiencing the power that was shown as an example, she could tell how powerful and fearful Daniel's power has.

But her fear was slowly changing into excitement.

'So...is this what a cultivator is like...? And if I accept him as my master...could I be like that as well...?' She wondered and she was aware that this was the only chance she had in changing her life.

"I'm not offended by your words Zuke, but I have to correct you on your earlier words," Daniel said.

"...?" Zuke was trembling because he didn't know what he did wrong and he was sweating.

"I'm not at the Ascended Rank, but rather, the Half-Immortal Rank and the reason why you can't find any spiritual qi is simple. My cultivation is over the limits of your observation"
