Chapter 52: Sold For A Good Price (2/2)
With her bright eyes, Granny Si looked at the young patriarch as he sighed, ”You were originally our cult saintess. Your magnificent aptitude was also peerless in your generation. I actually objected when Li Tianxing had wanted to marry you.”
”But you didn’t stop him.”
Granny Si sneered, ”Li Tianxing is my master, and it is against the ethics of a human relationship for a master to marry his disciple. Our sacred cult claims ourselves to be saints and yet are we throwing away the ethics of human relationship?”
Young patriarch frowned, ”I knew something was wrong when Li Tianxing wanted to take you as his disciple. I was afraid the more time he spent with you, he would be completely smitten by you and lose his wisdom. And as expected, he was so smitten by you that he discarded his old wife that had been married to him for a few hundred years just to marry you.”
Granny Si grinded the remnants of her teeth and chuckled, ”If you know that he’ll be smitten by me then why did you let him take me as his disciple? You should be the one taking me as your disciple, Patriarch! If I was your disciple, all these things wouldn’t have happened!”
”I was afraid the more time I spent with you, I would be smitten as well.”
Young patriarch gave a bitter smile, ”When I first saw you, you were only thirteen years old yet my heart pounded violently for a few beats. It was then I knew I couldn’t take you as my disciple. I was already old, I didn’t want my famed reputation in my lifetime to be ruined in your hands. I would be mocked by everyone if a master ended up loving his disciple.”
He gave a sigh and continued, ”It’s rare for people to not be smitten by you once they see your true appearance. The longer they spend time with you, the deeper they sink.”
Granny Si continued to grind her teeth and asked with a vague smile on her lips, ”If that’s the case, why do you still want me to be the cult master? Aren’t you afraid I would ruin the sacred cult?”
Young patriarch replied, ”You’re the best candidate. I also feel that you, being a femme fatale, would definitely raise a havoc in our sacred cult when you become the cult master. For the past forty years, while searching for you, we had also found a few youths with outstanding talents however they were all not as good as you. They were all still slightly lacking to be the cult master.”
He gave another sigh and continued depressedly, ”Once you’ve seen the best, you’ll always feel something is lacking when you see other good ones.”
”I’ll not go back.”
Granny Si grinned, ”But I can return you a cult master which comes along with the cult’s legacy holy bible, Great Educational Heavenly Devil Scriptures.”
Young patriarch’s expression wavered as he asked, ”Return us a cult master? What do you mean by that?”
In the Disabled Elderly Village, Qin Mu, Village Chief, Apothecary and the rest gazed steadily at every action Granny Si and Devil Cult Patriarch made. It was surprisingly unexpected when both of them seemed to have an enjoyable conversation as they heard laughter and chattering.
As Granny Si and Devil Cult Patriarch were talking, Granny Si suddenly looked back to the village which was followed by Devil Cult Patriarch who revealed a smiled before turning around to say something to granny.
After a while, Granny Si walked back into the village with small steps and smiled, ”It’s done.”
”It’s done?”
Everyone had a queer expression. Cripple who was suspicious asked with his face brimming with smiles, ”When do we start fighting?”
”There’s no need to fight.”
Granny Si gave a few blinks, ”However they will be staying here for a short while and leave after a few days.”
Everyone became stern. For the Heavenly Devil Cult to leave only after a while, what exactly are they planning?”
Granny Si grinned and continued, ”Old Ma, Mu’er said his Overlord Body Vital Qi had the attribute of Green Dragon, you can check if he had any improvement.”
”The Overlord Body Vital Qi can imitate Green Dragon Vital Qi as well?” Old Ma was astonished. ”Mu’er, quickly come here to spar with me!”
Qin Mu immediately went over.
As Apothecary looked at the two people exchanging blows, he shifted over to Granny Si and whispered, ”Granny, did you sold Mu’er?”
Granny Si gave a few innocent blink and replied unflinchingly, ”Why do you say that? How would I sell Mu’er?”
”How much did you sold him for?” Cripple came forward and asked curiously.
”Devil Cult Young Cult Master.”
Granny Si was decrepit as she sighed, ”Let them put a title on him first. I will be giving away the cult’s legacy devil bible, Great Educational Heavenly Devil Scriptures as well. They’ll see how well he grows in the future. If it’s pleasing enough then he would officially be the sacred cult master. How’s this price?”
Cripple’s eyes lit up and his breathing became ragged, ”Such a good deal? Why didn’t you find me earlier, granny? You can sell me instead!”
Granny Si smiled, ”It’s easy if you want to be the sacred cult master of Heavenly Devil Cult. You just have to take a walk in the neighboring village and meet all three hundred and sixty hall masters as well as Twelve Cult Protector Elders, Left and Right Guardians, Four Great Cult Heavenly Kings, Eight Great Inspectors and a Devil Cult Patriarch.”
Cripple’s face turned as white as ashes, ”For Mu’er to become the young cult master, he will also have to suffer one round in the village next door?”
Granny Si sighed helplessly, ”They want to check the goods first. Without checking the goods, how would they be at ease to make him the young cult master of Heavenly Devil Cult?”
