211 Adding to the Family (1/2)
The latest failure came from the most recent ranking report for the Monster Hunting Competition. There was only three weeks left and the immortal sect association now published new rankings daily. They wanted to drive the competitors to new heights but it also drove He Xinghan's anger and frustration to new heights.
Ten Thousand Flower Valley was firmly in the lead and no other sect could hope to touch them. Wu Qianyu was an abnormal witch and so far in the lead for first place that she had twice the amount of points as second place. If that wasn't enough, second place now belonged to Long Yifei, the jewel of the sub-continent who had inexplicably joined He Xinghan's most hated enemy!
Crash!
He Xinghan threw his bottle of wine onto the ground.
Why could he obtain Long Yifei? He thought bitterly. Why did it have to be Chen Wentian!
A female servant quickly rushed over to clean the mess off the floor while another brought over a fresh bottle of wine.
He paid them no heed and turned to his disciples across the table. ”Tell me, how should we proceed with the last few weeks of the competition?”
He stared at the four faces, normally all beautiful and captivating in their own way, but now filled with fear. They were his disciples and also his concubines. He was fickle man and so far, had not married a formal wife. Still, he had countless concubines and many children but none that he truly loved or treated with any respect.
”Master…” One of the more mature looking women finally spoke up. ”I think, that we should change our approach. It looks like it will be extremely difficult to get anyone into the top ten. The Eagle Lord's faction is making a huge push for it as well as the other immortals of our own faction. Instead, we should have those that are guaranteed to be in the top one hundred help others that close to the cutoff.”
”Oh? Going for the top ten was something I personally promised my father.” He Xinghan said, his voice filled with cold fury.
”Master!” The woman stood up and bowed quickly, ”That is not what I meant. I've deduced that Chen Wentian is also doing the same with his five other disciples that are weaker. Even though they have no shot at a high ranking, they are getting dangerously close to the top one hundred. In the most recently ranking, they had all passed the top one hundred and fifty. If they continue at their pace, they may be able to do it and push some of our people down.”
The one named Fang'er spoke once more, ”Master, if we group all of our people in the top two hundred together and funnel points, we should be able to get seven into the top one hundred. We just have to be careful keep watch of the points closely.”
”And if we don't?” He asked.
”He Xuanwu would be able to remain in the top twenty… perhaps reach top fifteen. He Xuanzhi would stay in the top fifty. But for the others, I really can't say. A best case may be one more in the top one hundred.”
He Xinghan remained silent for a few minutes before finally nodding, ”My best disciples are all my sons after all. If more of them can get the final reward, it will be much better. If I can have seven of my sons in top one hundred, father will surely reward me!”
He let out laugh and took a long swig from the bottle, ”Ahhh! I agree, Fang'er, let's do as you say. Rest of you, get out!”
”Yes, master!”
”Yes, immortal lord!”
Fang'er face relaxed as she got up and sauntered over to her master who was also her man.
”Master, thank you for choosing me…” She whispered as she draped herself on his body, rubbing up and down.
”Heh, of course, you are the smartest one after all. How should I reward you?” He Xinghan chuckled and pushed her over the dinner table. ”I know… let's add another child to the family!”
