Chapter 155 Sweet Burden
Xie Wan frowned; those words were vulgar and disgusting. Originally, it was just a matter between the two of them, but he had dragged Yun Fuzhao into it.
"Instead of wasting time gossiping about others," Xie Wan said sincerely, "you should focus on improving your own cultivation. As the son of the sect leader, you are not as good as an ordinary inner disciple."
These words were clearly aimed at his sore spot. Li Rui's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot. "Xie Wan, are you looking for death?"
The disciples behind him rolled up their sleeves, looking ready to charge into battle for their master.
Xie Wan wasn't flustered at all; she didn't need to go all out against these few mediocre people.
Just as the two sides were preparing for a major battle, a disciple rushed over.
"Senior Brother Li, the sect leader is looking for you."
Li Rui was taken aback, his eyes filled with impatience. It just so happened that he hadn't even taught Xie Wan a lesson at this crucial moment.
He spat at her and swaggered off to leave with his disciple, but to his surprise, she said, "Senior Sister Xie, please come along too."
"Why are you calling her?"
The disciple was frightened by his fierce gaze and hurriedly said, "It was requested by our distinguished guest."
"What distinguished guest? How come I didn't know that our sect had a distinguished guest?"
"You'll find out when you get there, senior brother."
"You little brat, how dare you talk to me like that..."
Xie Wan stopped him speechlessly, "Alright, don't keep the sect leader and guests waiting."
“Do I need you to teach me?” Li Rui scoffed, but remembering his father calling him, he had to put the accounting aside for now.
The group arrived late.
Qi Huai was getting impatient.
Sitting next to him, Li Gang was sweating profusely, cursing Li Rui, that idiot, a hundred and eighty times in his mind.
"Dad, are you looking for me?"
As soon as Li Rui entered the main hall, he saw Qi Huai sitting in the main seat. He was stunned. He had seen this man before when he was in the Wuya Sword Sect. He was the fox lord of Qingqiu.
"What are you doing, dawdling like that?"
"I……"
Li Gang was too lazy to listen to his excuses. "Alright, you show the Fox Lord around our sect. You must not be negligent in the slightest."
Li Rui's eyes lit up. Anyone with a brain knew what the Fox Lord of Qingqiu meant. If he could build a good relationship with him, and even bring Qingqiu to their sect's side, then who would dare say that Li Rui was useless and only relied on his powerful father?
Even Xie Wan had never made such a great achievement.
Li Rui became more and more excited as he thought about it, and immediately said, "No problem, leave this to me."
Li Gang nodded, then looked at Qi Huai, "Fox Master, please."
"Sect Master," Qi Huai raised an eyebrow, those who knew him well knew that his smiling face was purely a facade for mischief, "This disciple doesn't suit my taste, I need to find someone else."
Li Gang was taken aback. "Didn't the Fox Lord see my son before? Why didn't you speak earlier when I mentioned it..."
"You know I have a bad memory." Qi Huai smiled charmingly, pointed his slender finger at Xie Wan, and said, "Have this girl take me there."
Li Rui's expression was as colorful as a palette, a complete fall from heaven to hell. Of all people to choose, he had to pick Xie Wan, his disciple who always outshone him.
Li Gang: "Fox Lord, she's just a personal disciple; her status and position are inferior to my son's. Perhaps it would be better if..."
"What, do I not even have the right to choose when I come to your Lingyue Sect as a guest?"
"..."
Xie Wan stared at Qi Huai for a moment and understood. This was most likely at Yun Fuzhao's behest. She knew that her situation in Lingyue Sect was precarious recently.
A warm feeling welled up in her heart, and she stepped forward. "Sect Master, rest assured, I will treat the Fox Lord well and will not bring shame to our sect."
Both father and son had expressions that looked like they'd just eaten shit.
……
The Boundless Sword Sect is not afraid of Yu Ze at all. Most of the inner disciples have been to the Demon Realm and know that this ruthless Demon Lord is not as terrifying as others say.
Many disciples greeted him with admiration and excitement. Some even boldly asked to shake his hand and take notes.
A true internet celebrity.
Yun Fuzhao was very pleased; this was the proper attitude to have towards allies.
Yu Ze went from initial surprise to delight to cooperation, and then to avoiding him at all costs, running away whenever he saw his disciple.
“Yun Fuzhao”.
Yu Ze finally managed to shake off his disciples and come to find Yun Fuzhao.
Yun Fuzhao was manipulating the third form of the Wuji Lian Void Breaking Dragon Roar.
She had been busy with sect affairs and hadn't practiced her sword techniques. It was only after Ziqian reminded her that Yun Fuzhao remembered this.
Seeing that she was practicing, Yu Ze did not disturb her, but crossed his arms and leaned against the tree, watching her quietly.
After an incense stick had burned, Yun Fuzhao withdrew Wuji and walked towards Yu Ze with a smile, saying, "You're back so early today."
Yu Ze stared at her; her fair cheeks were flushed pink from practicing swordsmanship, and her eyes were clear and bright. It reminded him of the first time he saw her.
Silent and unwilling to die in that forest, she thought she was going to die, but when she opened her eyes again, she was met with a pair of eyes that she could not resist.
"Why aren't you saying anything?" Yun Fuzhao said. "Are you numb to their annoyance?"
Her voice pulled Yu Ze back to reality. He unconsciously swallowed hard, shifting his gaze from her face. "Hmm. The disciples of your sect are too enthusiastic."
Yun Fuzhao chuckled, “What do you call this? A sweet burden.”
"sweet?"
“Yes,” Yun Fuzhao struggled to raise his head, thinking to himself, “How come this guy is still growing? Will he really grow into a giant like the demons, over two meters tall? Being liked by so many people, how can it not be a sweet burden?”
Yu Ze froze; the word "like" was completely foreign to him. A thought swirled in his mind, and unable to suppress the itch in his heart, he slowly asked, "They like me, then... what about you?"
"metropolitan!"
A hurried voice interrupted their conversation, and Song Ying looked anxious.
Seeing her expression, Yun Fuzhao's heart skipped a beat. "What's wrong? What happened?"
Song Ying was panting heavily from running so fast. After catching her breath for a few seconds, she spoke: "The Xuan Tian Sect sent word that Ge Kui has lost control and killed many people!"
Yun Fuzhao's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally died. Her face was solemn. "Let's go, let's go to Xuantian Sect now."
A feeling of frustration surged within her. Yun Fuzhao was filled with regret; she shouldn't have agreed to the Xuantian Sect's request.
They are a bunch of hypocritical bastards. On the surface, they are a respected sect, but in reality, they are capable of all sorts of despicable things.
That's right, Yun Fuzhao doesn't think Ge Kui's loss of control is his own fault, but it's more likely that Yu Ze lost control.
Ge Kui is a smart man. He would never harm the people of Xuantian Sect at this critical juncture, lest he hand them a handle to use against him.
The words he hadn't spoken stuck in his throat. Yu Ze stared at Yun Fuzhao's back, a feeling of pent-up anger rising and falling in his heart.
“Yuze”.
Yun Fuzhao walked quite a distance before remembering Yu Ze, whom she had left behind. "The situation is critical. Don't leave the Boundless Sword Sect. Our sect has a protective formation. No one can hurt you."
