Chapter 41 Talk of the town (1/2)
”Tell that slut Li Mei that my nephew won't be joining the Thousand Sword Sect! He'll be with me at the Myriad Flame Sect!”
Blinking his eyes in surprise, the elder couldn't believe that the genius the Thousand Sword Sect was after, and the same one whom Xinyi asked for an invitation was her nephew!
At the same time, he remembered that Xinyi's surname was also Jian!
Thinking that it was natural for someone related to Xinyi to be sought after since he would obviously share the same level of talent and potential as her, the elder directly said, ”It doesn't matter what anyone thinks, have it announced that Jian Shen will be joining the Myriad Flame Sect!”
”But... Elder... If we do that.. What about our reputation?”
”Humph! Just do as I say, kid!”
”Yes!”
Nervous that he might cross his bounds, the disciple hastily left the tent to do what he was ordered to.
”Tsk, that slut acted faster than I expected.”
”Huh? You knew she was going to do this?”
”Of course I knew. That was why I even asked you to officially give him an invitation as soon as the tournament started. But, who would've expected for her to resort to such a means.”
Shaking his head, the elder said, ”There's no use in thinking of what has already happened. For now, go ahead and report to the Sect directly and tell them about Jian Shen. Until you come back, I'll look after him.”
Hesitating for a while since she didn't want to risk Jian Shen's safety by leaving him with an elder she wasn't much close to, Xinyi decided that she needed to go to the Sect.
If it was just a debate of words between them and the Thousand Sword Sect, everything would be okay.
But if they decided to take a step forward and try to harm Jian Shen, since they wouldn't be able to obtain him, she alone wouldn't be enough to keep him safe.
”Okay. I leave him in your capable hand's elder. I trust nothing will happen to him, while I'm gone.”
Though the last part of her words sounded like a request, the elder could clearly sense the threat of death looming behind them.

Almost as if she'd kill him in case something happens to him.
Therefore he did the only thing he could. Which was stand up and repeatedly nod his head and promise to personally take care of his safety.
…
”Jian Shen.”
”Xinyi.… You have something to do, and have to leave immediately, right?”
Surprised, Xinyi was just about to ask him how he knew, when he explained himself.
”You always had the same look on your face when you left.”
