Chapter 2060 Ask for Permission Because they directly flew over with swords, it took very little time and Bai Lingtian along with the others soon arrived at the hotel where Gu Ning and others stayed. In the cultivation world, all the senior cultivators above the Golden Core Stage had magical tools, but only those above the Yuan Ying Stage could fly with swords. In the Golden Core Stage, only very talented cultivators could use flying swords. Bai Lingtian and Xi Baichuan were already joined with their swords, so they could hide their swords inside their bodies. They could also control it to show it or hide it. Ning Xu wasn't able to do that yet, so he carried his sword with him all the time. Gu Ning and the others knew that people from Tiandaozong would come, so they were waiting for them and didn't go back to their own rooms. They stayed together in Gu Ning's room, enjoying tea and chatting with each other. They had three rooms and Gu Ning's was in the middle, so their own rooms were on both sides and no one would hear their conversation. They wouldn't say anything inappropriate anyway, because they came here with fake identities except for Shangguan Yang. Because it wasn't very late, there were pedestrians on the streets. People were also going in and out of the hotel, so Bai Lingtian's appearance attracted a lot of attention. Those who recognized Bai Lingtian and his companions were all surprised. They were curious to know why they came here. Those who didn't know them were also amazed, because they came on flying swords, which was rare to see now. Therefore, some people stayed by the hotel to see what they were going to do. "Hi, Leader Bai, what can I do for you?" The owner of the hotel respectfully greeted Bai Lingtian once he showed up. At the same time, he was a little nervous because he was worried that there might be problems with his hotel. Anyway, Bai Lingtian seemed normal during the day, so he bet everything would be fine. "I came to see a person," said Bai Lingtian, then he turned to Jing Jining. "Please help me pass on my request." 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮 Bai Lingtian didn't go inside right away, because it would be rude and disrespectful. He needed Jing Jining to help him ask for permission. "No problem." Jing Jining agreed and went upstairs. However, the onlookers were shocked by the fact that Bai Lingtian needed to make a request to meet someone. Obviously, the person he was going to meet must be very important, or Bai Lingtian wouldn't be willing to wait outside. They were all curious about the person's status, but none of them dared to ask about it. The hotel owner guessed it correctly. The person Bai Lingtian wanted to meet must be the group of people Jing Jining came with earlier. To his surprise, those people were very important! Jing Jining went to Gu Ning's room and told them that the leader of Tiandaozong, Bai Lingtian, was here. He also requested a meeting with Shangguan Yang. Shangguan Yang didn't put on airs. Since Bai Lingtian was already here, he invited him to come in. Therefore, Jing Jining went to bring Bai Lingtian and the others up. Bai Lingtian was the leader of Tiandaozong after all, Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting, as the juniors, couldn't just sit there, so they got up and stood behind Shangguan Yang when Jing Jining went out to bring them up. Shangguan Yang quickly agreed to see Bai Lingtian, so Bai Lingtian felt very relieved. He was originally worried that Shangguan Yang would be displeased by his interruption and take him down a notch. He wasn't projecting his shortcomings on Shangguan Yang, he simply was unfamiliar with Shangguan Yang's character. After that, Bai Lingtian brought Xi Baichuan and the others upstairs. When they were gone, onlookers began to talk about it. "Who is Leader Bai going to meet? He's already here, but has to wait for the person's permission." "It can't be more obvious that the person is a very important figure. Even Leader Bai is so respectful of the person." "I wonder what they'll do after they come out in a while. I want to see who the person is!" "Me too!" "Even if we can see the person, we might not be able to recognize the person." "At least we need to know what the person is like so that we don't offend the person by accident." "You're right." "…" Bai Lingtian and the others followed Jing Jining to the outside of Gu Ning's room. He told his guards and Ning Xu to wait outside the door, then walked in with Xi Baichuan. Although it was Gu Ning's room and it was inappropriate for so many men to enter a girl's room, they already made the decision to go to Tiandaozong if Bai Lingtian invited them to go there, so it didn't matter who came into this room. Even if Bai Lingtian didn't invite them to visit Tiandaozong, Gu Ning could exchange rooms with Leng Shaoting after they were gone. It wasn't a big deal anyway. After a glance at Shangguan Yang, Bai Lingtian was sure that he was real Shangguan Yang, so he immediately made a bow with hands folded in front and said, "Bai Lingtian, the leader of Tiandaozong, came to see Senior Shangguan. Senior Shangguan, I didn't know you were already in the cultivation world. Please forgive me for coming late." "Xi Baichuan, the head of the Law Enforcement Hall of Tiandaozong, came to see Senior Shangguan," Xi Baichuan respectfully greeted Shangguan Yang as well. After they greeted Shangguan Yang, they sized Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting up. They sensed that Gu Ning was at a common level, but she wasn't bad for her age. When they sensed Leng Shaoting's level, both Bai Lingtian and Xi Baichuan were amazed. He must be a talented cultivator, to reach the Golden Core Stage at such a young age. "Leader Bai, Head Xi, I'm not mad at all. Please have a seat," said Shangguan Yang kindly, but he had a powerful air, so nobody dared to slight him. "Thank you so much, Senior Shangguan. I think we don't need to sit now. We came here this time because we learned that Senior Shangguan appeared in the cultivation world, which is a big surprise. If it's possible, can you do us the honor of visiting Tiandaozong?" said Bai Lingtian. He really hoped that Shangguan Yang could visit Tiandaozong, but he wouldn't force him to do that. "Well…" Shangguan Yang hesitated for a few seconds, then he said, "I do want to have a look at Tiandaozong, but I'm afraid it might bother you." Shangguan Yang was being very considerate, but it was just an act. After all, they had already made the decision to visit Tiandaozong. "Of course it's not bothersome!" Bai Lingtian immediately said, "Senior Shangguan, aren't your two disciples going to attend the kung fu competition tomorrow as well? The game will be held in Tiandaozong. You can stay in Tiandaozong, so it'll be more convenient for you to join in the game tomorrow." "Well…" Shangguan Yang pretended to think about it for a while, then agreed. "Great, thank you so much, Leader Bai." "It's my pleasure. Please, Senior Shangguan, this way." Bai Lingtian was excited upon hearing Shangguan Yang's answer, then he made a hand gesture to invite him to go out right away. "Oh, Senior Shangguan, is there anything you need to pack up? We can wait outside for you."
