Chapter 810 – Beneath the Ancient Scholar Tree, Have No Other Thoughts (2/2)

”Are you afraid of him?”

The girl's voice was very soft and gentle, but her tone was not. Rather, it carried a faint scorn and a seemingly innate aloofness.

This was just a simple question, and it seemed to show little respect for both Bie Tianxin and Chen Changsheng. She had asked if Bie Tianxin was afraid of Chen Changsheng, but she had also only called Chen Changsheng 'him'.

Bie Tianxin was the sole son of two Storms of the Eight Directions; Chen Changsheng was the Pope.

Very few people in the continent had the right to speak of them in such a tone, and those of similar age to this girl were few and far between.

Such people included Luoluo, Nanke, and the little Black Dragon. Coincidentally, they were all people on Chen Changsheng's side.

This girl was not Chen Changsheng's friend, but she still dared to speak of him this way because she was not from this continent.

She was from the Great Western Continent, and just like Luoluo and those other girls, she was also a princess.

Mu Jiushi, the most enigmatic of the Orthodoxy's Six Prefects, had all of her glory and strength snatched away from her by the previous Pope, but that glory and strength had belonged to the Orthodoxy.

As long as she still had her blood, she possessed a glory and strength that no one could underestimate, a status that was still worthy of veneration, as she was Madam Mu's younger sister. From a certain perspective, she represented the will of the Great Western Continent.

As Bie Tianxin looked at her face and heard her voice, his body relaxed, not out of fear, but love.

When they met by accident three years ago in the capital, he fell in love with her, loved her to death.

In every aspect, she was worthy of his love, had the right to be loved by him, was his most ideal partner.

So even if she spoke to her with scorn and disdain, he still was not angry, only wanting to explain why he had no alternative.

”Who would be afraid of that guy? It's just… he's the Pope right now. Little Shi, you're from the Great Western Continent, so naturally don't need to care, but it's still different for me.”

Mu Jiushi clearly did not care for his explanation. Placing down the wine pot, she walked into the courtyard.

She looked up at the gloomy sky. After a few moments of silence, she suddenly asked, ”Why did he come to Hanqiu City?”

Bie Tianxin pondered the question and then replied with a solemn expression, ”Could it be that he wants to go to Wenshui?”

This was a matter that anyone could understand; was there any need to think about it?

Mu Jiushi did not turn around, so Bie Tianxin could not see the ridicule on her lips, only hear her praise.

”Brother Bie's words are reasonable… We should immediately inform the capital and Wenshui.”

Bie Tianxin smiled. ”Relax, I'll go and do it in a little while.”

Mu Jiushi softly cautioned, ”Do not mention me.”

Bie Tianxin's smile faded as he sighed, ”Little Shi, I know that your Great Western Continent is not as calm as it seems. Even Madam Mu was forced to leave her home, let alone you, so you don't dare let our relationship be known to anyone else, but… you really don't need to be afraid. As long as my parents know of it, would that elder brother of yours dare to do anything to you?”

Mu Jiushi turned around and asked, ”But your parents… what will they think?”

Bie Tianxin said affectionately to her, ”As long as I love you, my parents will definitely love you as well.”

Mu Jiushi was apparently deeply moved. Walking up to him, she looked into his eyes and gently asked, ”How much do you love me?”

Nothing could satisfy Bie Tianxin more than to have his lover in front of him. With heartfelt love and sincerity, he declared, ”I would be willing to die for you.”

Mu Jiushi lightly leaned on his shoulder and looked at the ancient scholar tree in the courtyard. She whispered, ”Excellent.”

She placed her hand on his chest, apparently because she was stopping him out of shyness. In reality, she just needed to slightly circulate her true essence to shatter Bie Tianxin's Ethereal Palace.

If this happened, he really would die.
