Chapter 23: Nine Saint Princess (1) (2/2)

***

After coming back to his guest house, Nan Huairen quickly ran over and asked: “Senior, how is your marriage with princess Li?”

Protector Mo was also curious. He also knew that the Nine Saint Demon Gate highly valued Li Qiye; there was a high chance that this arranged marriage would be successful.

Today, when the Nine Saint Demon Gate formally invited Li Qiye, he thought chances were that they wanted to talk about the marriage.

“What marriage?” Li Qi ye stared at Nan Huairen and said: “I never said I was going to marry her. If she was willing, I would take her in as a maid.”

“Mai… Mai… Mai… Maid!” Nan Huairen started stuttering; Li Qiye’s words had shocked him.

“You were truly confused!” If this was before, he would be reprimanding Li Qiye. However, now, when he was standing in front of him, he felt that his position was naturally lower. Protector Mo didn’t dare to scold him from the perspective of a senior.

“She is only a girl, no need to be so terrified.” Li Qiye essentially didn’t mind. Li Shuangyan was indeed worthy of his tutelage; however, when compared to Immortal Emperor Bing Yu, she was quite lacking.

Afterward, Li Qiye had finally completed his blood rite with the four statues. With this done, this trip had been a complete success, so he wanted to return to the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect.

During this time, the Elders did not show their face; same for Li Shuangyan. Li Qiye did not really care for what they were planning.

“If we return, what do we report on this?” Before the departure, Protector Mo hesitantly asked Li Qiye.

Li Qiye glanced back and smiled: “This depends on your choice; do you want to be on my side or the Elders’?”

These were simple words, but they scared Protector Mo. He was not a dumb person; to become a Protector, he had to surpa.s.s many difficulties and encounters.

Nan Huairen couldn’t help but stare at his master. He was even more wily than Protector Mo and he knew how to pick the opportunity and read people’s intentions.

Their positions in the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect couldn’t be considered low. One was a hall master, and the other was one of the twelve Protectors. Protector Mo was only below the Elders and the Sect Master. If he was to join a new disciple, anyone would say that was an unwise decision.

Protector Mo hadn’t responded yet, but Nan Huairen saw the light in this moment. He saw a new door opening right in front of him.

“Master!” Nan Huairen took a deep breath and reminded Protector Mo.

Protector Mo’s heart was swaying. As his master, how could he not know what his disciple’s thoughts were? However, this was such an unbelievable story; he, as a Protector, having to be under the command of a new disciple? This was crazy!

“Whatever you say, I will immediately do just that!” In the end, Protector Mo, heavily so, made the most important decision of his life at that moment; one that would carry special significance.

Protector Mo thought he was becoming senile; he couldn’t believe he had just become an underling to a new disciple. Not only that, he had to hide the many events that had happened, recently.
