Chapter 67 Becoming the Owner of the Tianjia Pavilion!
The door swung open, and Long Tian emerged from the room.
Many people didn't notice him due to their preoccupations and ignorance about the door. However, the monk was taken aback when he saw Long Tian was still alive. He hurriedly approached him.
"You, you're still alive? How is that possible?" He said in disbelief.
"What? Were you hoping for me to die?" Long Tian asked, his tone cold.
"No, no. My master couldn't be wrong, and you clearly weren't the one he meant. How could you break through fate?" The monk asked earnestly.
Long Tian became annoyed. "Why do you keep talking about fate? Just because of the word 'fate,' you've been holding back. Hiding behind the words 'I'm aware of my place.' Only trash hesitates because of fate, and you're no different," Long Tian said coldly, his arms crossed.
"You!" The monk grew angry.
However, his anger gradually subsided, remembering Long Tian's words. Upon reflection, it was true; his progress was often hindered because of his master's advice.
Today was a perfect example. He didn't enter the room because his master had foretold his journey here. Yet, a young man who didn't fit the criteria mentioned by his master conquered what was behind that door.
He sighed, his thoughts heavy with Long Tian's words. It seemed that from now on, he would have to trust himself rather than other people's words, including his master's.
He bowing to Long Tian, "Forgive me for my earlier words. I'm also grateful to you for enlightening me. May Buddha bless you," he said sincerely.
"Yeah, I have other matters to attend to, so I'll be on my way," Long Tian said and immediately left, leaving the monk behind.

After a while, he arrived on the first floor, where more people were present.
Most of them were watching the battle arena, and their attention was focused on one arena with the largest audience.
"And the winner is our Goddess, Liu Qian!" The voice of an emcee rang out, followed by cheers and applause from the crowd.
Long Tian raised an eyebrow; he hadn't expected Liu Qian to battle for hours and emerge victorious. He walked closer.
In the center of the arena, Liu Qian stood, her school uniform still pristine. Nearby lay a burly man defeated.
Many people gazed at her in admiration. It wasn't just her strength but also her beauty. Her beautiful face left many people enchanted, especially when combined with her perfect body and blonde hair.
At that moment, the emcee brought out a box.
"And this is the prize for our champion," he said, handing the box to Liu Qian.
Amidst the applause of everyone, Liu Qian accepted the prize with delight. It was the grand prize after defeating more than ten arena champions.
After some words from the emcee, Liu Qian descended from the arena, immediately surrounded by many people offering congratulations and admiration.
"Congratulations, Liu Qian, you're amazing!"
"Are you single? How about a date with me tonight? I'll take you to the third floor."
"Ahem, my name is Fu Gu, the young master of the Fu family. We could chat..."
She was somewhat overwhelmed; this was the first time she had been in such a situation. But at that moment, she saw a familiar figure standing not far away.
"I'm sorry, my boyfriend is waiting over there," she said, quickly leaving the crowd and heading towards Long Tian.
All eyes were now on Long Tian. Many people weren't pleased, especially young men eager to approach Liu Qian.
But when they looked at Long Tian's face, they couldn't help but feel insecure. Long Tian appeared extremely handsome, and many acknowledged it.
"Too bad our Goddess already has a boyfriend. And he looks very handsome. Ugh, I guess I need to hit the gym."
"I'm the young master of the Fu family; I should be superior to him. Yes, I still have a chance!"
"Hey, he's really handsome; no wonder our Goddess became his girlfriend."
Many people discussed Long Tian, and many chose to give up after seeing Long Tian's appearance.
***************
Meanwhile, Long Tian smiled, "Your boyfriend, huh?" he remarked.
Liu Qian's cheeks turned red, "As expected, you heard that. I'm sorry, Long Tian, they're really bothersome," she said, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
With a reassuring nod, Long Tian replied, "No problem at all; I completely understand your situation."
"Sigh, it seems I'll have to wear a mask if I want to participate in matches again. But seriously, it was so much fun. Thanks for bringing me here, Long Tian," Liu Qian said sincerely, her smile as gentle as snow.
Long Tian smiled, "I know of a few more fun places. Maybe we can go together sometime," he said.

"Alright, let's meet with the manager of this place. I want to discuss a few matters with him," Long Tian said, a soft grin gracing his feature.
Liu Qian simply nodded and followed Long Tian.
************
It's now 10 PM, and inside the Tianjia Pavilion, it's still bustling with activity. Every floor is filled with people enjoying the facilities and having a great time.
The arena battles are still ongoing, even though Liu Qian has emerged as the victor. Many people still want to compete, but unfortunately, today's prizes have already been claimed by Liu Qian, so there are no rewards for these matches.
Meanwhile, in the Strength-testing Trials area, some individuals are perplexed because the large stone no longer displays their strength. On the second floor, the stone shattered after being struck by someone.
On the other hand, on the fourth floor, inside the classical room, there are twenty individuals sitting across from each other. They are mostly middle-aged and elderly men, and their expressions are earnest as Long Tian presents a badge engraved with a phoenix's head.
One of them asks with seriousness, "Young Master Long, is that authentic?"
"Of course, I obtained it after completing the fifth floor of the Strength-testing Trials," Long Tian replies confidently.
Hearing this, everyone becomes even more serious.
"Would you like to hear more evidence? Well, on the fifth floor, I encountered an old man named Ou Yang Wentian. He posed several questions and challenges, and I successfully completed them. He said he was leaving this place for me, handing over this Phoenix badge," Long Tian says, his confidence evident.
Everyone is surprised to hear this. Ou Yang Wentian is a familiar name to them. They have been his followers for decades, back when he was still alive.
They whisper to each other, discussing Long Tian and his achievements, while Long Tian himself waits calmly.
In the original plot, it was Qin Chen who became the owner of this place, but he didn't realize it until several years later when he officially became the owner of Tianjia Pavilion.
Now, here's Long Tian, about to become the owner of Tianjia Pavilion. On the other hand, Liu Qian is still perplexed by what they are doing here.
After a while, the twenty individuals finish their discussion. This time, an elderly man with a white beard and mustache stands up. "Young Master Long, that badge belongs to our master, Ou Yang Wentian. Indeed, he left his legacy in the Strength-testing Trials, awaiting the right person to come. Before his death, he said he would bestow this place upon anyone who completes all the challenges in the Strength-testing Trials," he explains.
"So, in conclusion, you are entitled to become the owner of the Tianjia Pavilion," he continues.
