As the words did not fall, a middle-aged man wearing a Tang suit strode out.
This man clearly had an extraordinary status. The Tang suit he wore was exceptionally exquisite, and it was likely that the garment alone was worth over a hundred thousand.
Upon seeing him, the martial arts disciples all lowered their heads and shouted in unison, "Greetings, Sect Master!"
That's right, this man was the Sect Master of the Divine Artifact Sect, the father of Zhao Xiaojie and Zhao Hu, Zhao Tianyue.
Zhao Tianyue walked out and, seeing the commotion, his brow furrowed slightly.
He asked, "What is going on here? Why are you all gathered together?"
Zhao Xiaojie immediately cried out, "Dad, you're finally here! Hurry and arrest this guy, he bullied me!"
"Hmm?" Hearing this, Zhao Tianyue's scrutinizing gaze immediately fell upon Wu Tian.
"Who are you?" Zhao Tianyue asked Wu Tian.
Facing Zhao Tianyue's gaze, Wu Tian appeared neither servile nor overbearing.
He met Zhao Tianyue's eyes and said in a deep voice, "Sect Master Zhao, hello. I have come specifically to find you this time."
"To find me?" Zhao Tianyue was slightly taken aback. "Who are you, and why are you looking for me?"
Zhao Xiaojie loudly interjected, "Dad, don't pay attention to him, he's just making excuses!"
"This person bullied me so badly yesterday, you must stand up for me!"
However, Zhao Tianyue was, after all, the leader of a sect, and thus naturally not as impulsive as Zhao Xiaojie.
He continued to look at Wu Tian and said, "You speak first, why are you looking for me?"
Wu Tian casually flipped his hand, and a token immediately appeared in his palm.
The token was given to him by Su Qiannai. He handed the token over and said, "Sect Master Zhao, please take a look at this first."
Zhao Tianyue took the token and looked at it, and was instantly stunned.
Immediately, he said to Wu Tian in surprise, "How do you have this token? Who gave it to you?"
Wu Tian smiled and said, "Sect Master Zhao, I think you don't need to ask such questions, do you? You know the answer in your heart, don't you?"
"Since that's the case, then let's arrange the trial quickly."
Hearing this, Zhao Tianyue no longer doubted Wu Tian's identity.
His expression became even more solemn, and he nodded, saying, "I understand. Please come in with me."
Zhao Xiaojie had initially intended to rely on Zhao Tianyue to teach Wu Tian a lesson. Upon hearing Zhao Tianyue's words, she was immediately dumbfounded.
She incredulously asked, "Dad, what are you doing?"
"Didn't I tell you, he's the one who bullied me?"
"Didn't you say you would avenge me? Then why are you talking to him like this now?"
Little did she know, when Su Qiannai assigned tasks to the Five Sects and Six Teachings, she had casually mentioned Wu Tian's importance, implying that Wu Tian was a very significant person.
Since Su Qiannai considered him important, Zhao Tianyue naturally had to be much more courteous.
Therefore, Zhao Tianyue said, "Daughter, don't say too much. This is a guest, be polite."
"What?!" Zhao Xiaojie's eyes widened, unable to believe her ears.
"He's a guest? That's not right, what kind of guest is he?"
"This guy is clearly a vagrant, you must have mistaken him!"
Zhao Tianyue shook his head and said, "No, there's no such thing as mistaking him, because I have never met him before."
"Ah?" Zhao Xiaojie was completely bewildered by Zhao Tianyue.
She asked blankly, "No, Dad, what are you talking about? I don't understand at all."
"Since you've never met him, why are you being so polite?"
Zhao Tianyue said, "Although I haven't met him, I absolutely recognize this token he gave me."
"Do you remember I told you someone would come here to undergo a trial? It seems it's him."
"Ah?!" This news shocked Zhao Xiaojie even more.
She said disbelievingly, "No way, are you mistaken? How could that person be him?"
Zhao Xiaojie found it difficult to accept this. After all, when Zhao Tianyue mentioned this before, she had imagined that the person who came would be a handsome and capable hero!
Despite her fierce exterior, she actually had a girlish side.
The reason she hadn't dated was not because no one dared to pursue her, but because she found them unworthy.
After hearing about Wu Tian, she had eagerly anticipated the arrival of a man who could impress her.
But who could have imagined that the person would be this guy standing before her?
However, Zhao Tianyue merely shook his head and said, "I only recognize the token. Since the token is here, and he knows about the trial, then that person is very likely him."
"Any grievances between you are secondary."
"The most important thing now is the trial, as this is a task left by Miss Su. We cannot be negligent."
Zhao Xiaojie was speechless.
She glared at Wu Tian, then let out a huff, crossing her arms. It was clear she was still very unconvinced by Wu Tian.
Afterward, Zhao Tianyue ushered Wu Tian inside.
The few of them sat in the main hall, and Zhao Tianyue smiled at Wu Tian, saying, "I truly didn't expect this."
"When I first heard the task from Miss Su, I thought the person coming would be a bit older. I didn't expect you to be so young!"
Wu Tian smiled and said, "Age is not important, isn't ability more important?"
"If I can pass the trial, then it doesn't matter if I'm a child, does it?"
Zhao Tianyue chuckled, "Yes, yes, that's indeed the logic."
"But the trials of our Divine Artifact Sect are not simple trials. You must be mentally prepared."
Wu Tian smiled and said, "No problem. Bring on any trial you have. I'm indifferent to any trial."
Zhao Xiaojie was displeased upon hearing this, pouting her lips and saying, "What a braggart. He thinks he's so great. You'll know soon enough."
Zhao Tianyue said, "Wu Tian, you also know the nature of our Divine Artifact Sect."
"Our sect originated from appraising treasures, so if there are trials, they will naturally be related to appraising treasures."
"Next, you will have a treasure appraisal competition with our sect's three greatest geniuses. Only by winning can you be considered to have passed the trial. Can you accept this?"
Zhao Xiaojie sneered, "Let me also tell you, I am the greatest genius of our Divine Artifact Sect."
"If you want to defeat me, it's impossible!"
Unexpectedly, Wu Tian smiled charmingly, "You are the greatest genius? Then, this really won't be difficult!"
