1666 Realmlord’s thoughts (1/2)
The Realmlord looked at Ye Qianyu's eyes. After that, he smiled, ”Do you really think so?”
Ye Qianyu didn't match the Realmlord's gaze. She lowered her head and smiled, ”Naturally. If not, what does the Realmlord think?”
The Lifelong Realmlord laughed and drank another mouthful of wine. He then suddenly asked, ”Are you willing to belong to me?”
Ye Qianyu's body trembled, she shook her head soon after and replied, ”This lowly servant is not fortunate enough, how can I be worthy of the Realmlord?”
”What if I said that you are worthy enough?” The Realmlord asked again.
”Realmlord, you should understand to whom my heart already belongs to.” Ye Qianyu raised her head, staring at the Lifelong Realmlord. At this moment, her beautiful eyes didn't mask her emotions, matching gazes with the Realmlord.
The Lifelong Realmlord looked at her and laughed, ”I understand your emotions now. I believe that you are truly sincere towards Qin Wentian and everything you do and every word you speak, are for his own good. You are dismissed for now.”
”Yes, Realmlord.” Ye Qianyu bowed before grouping up with the other maidens from the Red Dust Immortal Palace as they left the area.
After they left, the Lifelong Realmlord drank alone. All of a sudden, he turned to Beiming Youhuang and spoke, ”Youhuang, take a seat.”
”I don't dare to.” Beiming Youhuang shook her head.
”If I tell you to sit, just sit.” The Lifelong Realmlord spoke somewhat unhappily. Beiming Youhuang hesitated for a moment before walking to a seat beside the Lifelong Realmlord as she sat down.
”Refill the wine for me.” The Realmlord spoke. Beiming Youhuang's hands trembled a little but she complied with the order. Her actions were extremely calm, just like her person,
”Do you understand the meaning behind my conversation with Ye Qianyu?” The Lifelong Realmlord gazed at her.
Only to see Beiming Youhuang nodding lightly as she coldly spoke, ”Realmlord has killing intent towards my junior apprentice brother.”
The Lifelong Realmlord laughed. He stared at the side-profile of Beiming Youhuang's face and replied, ”Originally, I shouldn't be so calculative towards a subordinate. Also, in the earlier meeting with the people from the Lifire Palace, Qin Wentian is the only one I didn't criticize. But in truth, he is the one I'm most worried about. For Ye Qianyu, he could keep a low-profile for so many years, enduring everything until he has the strength to kill the Lifire Empyrean. In that case, would he act against me, the Lifelong Realmlord after he grows strong enough in the future?”
”So, Realmlord told Ye Qianyu to choose. If Ye Qianyu chose to belong to you, maybe Realmlord would prepare to kill my junior apprentice brother right away.” Beiming Youhuang's eyes flickered with coldness, staring at the Lifelong Realmlord. Upon staring at the cold look in his eyes, the Lifelong Realmlord wasn't angered. He smiled, ”Ye Qianyu has rejected the offer I made her. I also believe that she is an intelligent woman and knows what to do for the sake of Qin Wentian. But now, I'm still hesitating.”
”I don't understand.” Beiming Youhuang shook her head. ”Why is Realmlord treating my junior apprentice brother this way? Right from the start, you have been wary about him.”
”Where is your master now?” The Lifelong Realmlord suddenly asked, his words causing Beiming Youhuang to start. She didn't have any master but at this moment, she suddenly thought of the undying old freak she met in the forbidden grounds of the Darknorth Immortal Mountain Range those years ago. It was only because of him that she was acquainted with Qin Wentian and they can be considered fellow disciples in some perspective. Since the Realmlord asked this, she replied, ”Master is as elusive as a divine dragon, extremely inscrutable. I also have no idea where is he now.”
”Do you really not know why I've always been wary against Qin Wentian?” The Lifelong Realmlord stared fixedly at Beiming Youhuang. Beiming Youhuang didn't evade his gaze, she shook her head in confusion.
”Right now, there are people recommending Qin Wentian for the Lifire Palace Lord's position, there are also people who recommend me to guard against him. I'm currently considering what decision to make. In any case, he is your junior apprentice brother. What do you suggest?” The Lifelong Realmlord asked as he stared at Beiming Youhuang,
”I naturally hope that Realmlord will place my junior brother in an important position. I also believe that if he can be a world palace lord, he would definitely do his tasks well.” Beiming Youhuang directly replied.
”Allowing him to assume the position of one of the world palace lords?” The Lifelong Realmlord muttered. Yi's disciple again...It wasn't impossible to allow Qin Wentian to become the Lifire Palace Lord despite that, the Gemini World Palace's palace lords are already Yi's disciples. He had to make the relationship between him and Yi to be closer before this can be done.
”I heard that you and your junior apprentice brother has a very close relationship. Those years back then, for the sake of rescuing you, he barged alone into Jialan Emperor City and almost died before he was saved by Ye Qianyu. If he really becomes the Lifire Palace Lord, Ye Qianyu cannot remain in the Lifelong Saint Hall, I don't want to be like the Lifire Empyrean and cause my direct subordinate to hate me.” The Lifelong Realmlord laughed. Beiming Youhuang's eyes flickered with a bright light when she heard that.
This meant that if Qin Wentian becomes the Lifire Palace Lord, Ye Qianyu would be released from here. This would truly be a perfect ending. Qin Wentian would surely be very happy, right?
Staring at the light flickering in Beiming Youhuang's eyes, the Lifelong Realmlord laughed as he asked, ”Youhuang, you have already been around me for sometime. In the future, are you willing to serve me? Are you willing to be my woman?”
Beiming Youhuang felt her heart trembling after she heard this. Her beautiful eyes involuntarily flashed. She stared at the Lifelong Realmlord only to see the Realmlord looking back at her with a warm smile in his eyes, as though he was speaking of an insignificant thing. Despite so, the words he had spoken caused great waves to rise up in Beiming Youhuang's heart.
In the next instant, she thought of many things and soon realized the Lifelong Realmlord's intentions. He didn't act like the Lifire Empyrean and didn't plan to use Ye Qianyu as a hostage to threaten Qin Wentian. In fact, since he was planning to use Qin Wentian, he didn't mind releasing Ye Qianyu for goodwill. But even so, he still felt worry. He wanted to pull their relationship closer, hence he asked her that question.
After all, Beiming Youhuang was different from Ye Qianyu, she was the senior apprentice sister of Qin Wentian. If his senior apprentice sister became the Realmlord's woman, wouldn't the Realmlord's relationship with Qin Wentian become much closer than before?
