Chapter 441 - Forced Marriage of a Different Sort (2/2)
Yi Qing walked over as well. Just as he was about to speak, the door suddenly opened from inside with a crack, showing Shen Ying who wore very messy hair. She looked up at the two, and lifted a hand in greeting, “Morning!”
“What morning’? This is almost noon!” Lonemoon said resentfully.
Yi Qing at the side stiffened, and he looked straight at the person in front of him. His eyes went wider and wider. He stepped forward and said hurriedly, “Master, you…”
“Chef, I’m so hungry!” Shen Ying said straightaway.
Yi Qing was stunned momentarily, and then he spoke subconsciously, “Breakfast is ready.” And soon lunch will be, too.
“Alright, I have matters to discuss with you guys!” Lonemoon grabbed Shen Ying’s hand and dragged her to the side of the table. Perhaps it was his illusion, but he felt that Shen Ying was somewhat heavier. She must have eaten too much these few days!
Lonemoon sat down by the table, took a look at the person opposite him who already started nibbling at a steamed stuffed bun, and then at Chef who was handing her more. He hesitated for a long while before saying with a deep voice, “There’s a problem that has been on my mind for a long time. This time, Invincible Heavenly Palace suffered quite a great loss, and several disciples suffered quite serious injuries. Those were intruders, after all, it was normal that they couldn’t fight them! In general, they suffered because of us.” Those people came for them.
He sighed, and frowned, before continuing, “There will be more of such things in the future, I’m afraid that… So I’m thinking, maybe it is time for us to let go.”
The master and disciple were stunned for a second, and they both looked up at him.
What do you mean?
“I don’t want the sect that we built together to be involved in plane matters every time.” It was their responsibility to guard this plane. It was unnecessary to involve Invincible Sect every time. He can’t promise to keep them safe every single time. “Even without us, it would be enough to have Yu Hong, Lan Hua and Little Black they all to guard this sect, seeing the Immortal Realm as it is right now.”
“You’ve made up your mind?” asked Yi Qing. Though this sect was built together by the three, in actual fact, the whole sect was pretty much supported by Lonemoon alone. They merely provided token support by showing up for important events.
“Yup.” nodded Lonemoon. Ever since this intrusion, he had understood that guarding a plane wasn’t as easy as it seemed on the surface, and they couldn’t possibly look out for Invincible Sect 24-7. And in those 3000 years, they did a good job, didn’t they? “Not like we leave straight away, just that we try to not intervene in matters of the sect in the future.”
The Master and disciple exchanged a look. After a long while Shen Ying replied, “Oh.”
The corner of Lonemoon’s mouth twitched. What was ‘oh’ supposed to mean? Yi Qing actually started to explain immediately, “You can decide it. Both Master and I have no objection.”
“Alright, then it is settled.” Lonemoon looked at Shen Ying. “Yu Hong took charge of the sect for 3000 years in the past, it is most suitable to hand Invincible Sect to her. I’ll go and arrange right now. A few days later there will be a Handover Ceremony, Shen Ying, you will formally pass the position of sect master to her.”
“Me?” Shen Ying was stunned, tilting her head.
“Yes!” Lonemoon nodded. Remembering something, he gave her a stare. “Can you have f*cking forgotten that you are the sect master.”
“Oh…” Shen Ying took a bite of the bun, and replied lazily, “So troublesome!”
“What troublesome!” Lonemoon rolled his eyes. “That’s settled. I’ll go first.”
With that said, he got up and took two rapid steps, but then he remembered something, and his feet paused.
Wait, troublesome?

He turned back abruptly, and looked unbelievably at the figure who leaned on the table nibbling at a bun, soft as wet mud, his eyes widened….
Holy shit!
“SHEN YING!!!!”
