"Young Master, once I’m gone, you must be sure to eat well and get plenty of rest."
"Just go."
"Young Master, I’ll truly miss you."
"I don’t need you to."
"Young Master... When you return, if you should want at any ti, I’ll be waiting for you. I am completely yours. After I get back, I’ll even read so books to enrich my knowledge, all the better to serve you then."
"Get lost!"
Four days after leaving the Black Dragon Sect, it was ti for Si Li to fly back to the Wandao Sect.
She had to compile a list for Xiao Mo of the Wandao Sect’s undying old geezers, all of whom had persecuted him in the past.
When Xiao Mo returned, he would deal with them.
However, at their parting, Si Li looked extrely reluctant to leave, glistening teardrops welling in the corners of her eyes.
But in the face of Si Li’s attachnt, Xiao Mo remained as cold as ever.
"Well then, Young Master, I’ll be leaving now. You must co back soon." Si Li sniffled, her captivating eyes looking pitiful and endearing.
"You don’t have to tell ." Xiao Mo tossed a Jade Pendant to Si Li. "This is my Identity Jade Token. Take it. If my master doesn’t believe you, show it to her. Got it?"
"Yes, Young Master..."
Si Li curtsied, gave Xiao Mo one last deep look, then wiped her tears and left, looking back every few steps.
「Three days later, Si Li returned to the Wandao Sect.」
As far as Si Li was concerned, she had no fondness for the Wandao Sect.
The Sect was nothing more than a place that devoured people whole.
But this ti, returning to the Wandao Sect and looking at its many peaks, Si Li felt a sense of belonging for the first ti.
It wasn’t a sense of belonging to the current Wandao Sect, but to Xiao Mo’s Wandao Sect.
And she believed that Xiao Mo would one day beco the Sect Leader of the Wandao Sect!
The first thing she did upon returning to the Wandao Sect was head to Blood Sin Peak.
At the summit of Blood Sin Peak, Yu Yunwei was brewing tea for her master, while the woman in the red dress was flipping through a book.
"Si Li of Ten Thousand Flowers Peak pays her respects to Elder Blood Demon and greets Junior Sister Yu."
Si Li landed outside the Blood Demon Courtyard and gave the two a respectful curtsy.
Blood Demon put down the copy of *Imperial Uncle* in her hands and looked at Si Li with a smile. "Well, well, what a rare guest. You’re the one from Ten Thousand Flowers Peak with the innate seductive charm, aren’t you?"
"Yes, Elder Blood Demon." Si Li nodded. "However, from this day forward, I am no longer just a disciple of Ten Thousand Flowers Peak."
"Oh?" Blood Demon’s interest was piqued. "And why is that?"
"I have already pledged my allegiance to Young Master Xiao. I have long since beco his person."
Si Li spoke truthfully. She recounted everything that had happened between her and Xiao Mo and explained what he had tasked her with. Then, she presented the Blood Sin Peak Identity Jade Token he had given her.
When Yu Yunwei heard that Si Li would be helping her Senior Brother manage the Wandao Sect in the future, her brows furrowed.
"It is naturally a good thing that Senior Sister Si Li has chosen to leave the darkness for the light. However, when it cos to assisting Senior Brother in managing the Wandao Sect, I alone am more than enough. There’s no need to trouble you, Senior Sister Si Li."
How could Si Li not detect the hostility in Yu Yunwei’s words?
Everyone in the Wandao Sect knew that Yu Yunwei was in love with her Senior Brother; she wished she could hang off him all day, every day.
"My dear Junior Sister Yun Wei, what are you saying? The Wandao Sect is so large, how could you possibly manage it all alone?" Si Li smiled. "Only by working together can we serve Young Master Xiao comfortably, don’t you think? Besides, over these past few days, the Young Master has grown quite fond of my service."
"..."
Watching the hussy’s flirtatious display, Yu Yunwei couldn’t help but clench her fists.
’Who wants to take care of Senior Brother with this slut?’
’Senior Brother is mine!’
’And you say Senior Brother enjoyed your service?’
’But the virginal scent you’re giving off proves that he didn’t lay a single finger on you!’
’Pah! What a shaless vixen!’
Yu Yunwei spat disdainfully in her heart.
But since her Senior Brother had already given his word, Yu Yunwei couldn’t refuse. Otherwise, he might get angry with her when he returned.
’But how can I get rid of her?’
"Alright, alright. You’re both here to share Xiao Mo’s burdens. Both his capable little helpers."
Just as Yu Yunwei was lost in thought, Blood Demon, who had been enjoying the show, spoke up to diate.
"Since my disciple has said so, then from now on, Si Li, you are a mber of my Blood Sin Peak. Wear this Jade Pendant. If anything cos up, co find directly."
But just as Blood Demon was about to toss Xiao Mo’s Jade Pendant to Si Li, Yu Yunwei snatched it away.
"I’ll hold onto Senior Brother’s Jade Pendant. Senior Sister Si Li can just use mine." With that, Yu Yunwei took off her own Jade Pendant and tossed it over.
"Thank you so much, Junior Sister Yu."
Si Li gave her a pleasant smile.
’No need to rush. It’s just a fight for his favor, isn’t it?’
’There’s still a long road ahead.’
’So what if you’re the junior sister who grew up with him?’
’Can you out-slut ?’
After bidding farewell to the master and disciple of Blood Sin Peak, Si Li returned to Ten Thousand Flowers Peak.
Walking on the path up Ten Thousand Flowers Peak, Si Li’s heart grew heavy.
She didn’t want to see her master, but she had to report back to her.
"Master, your disciple has returned."
Arriving before her master’s courtyard, Si Li took a deep breath and curtsied.
The Peak Master of Ten Thousand Flowers Peak, Fang Yanyu, who was ditating, slowly opened her eyes. She looked at her most prized disciple and said:
"Yesterday, news ca from the Wandao Sect’s Tinghai Pavilion. Of the ten Holy Son Candidates, only you and Xiao Mo remain. All the others are dead. Did you know this?"
"Your disciple knows." Si Li nodded. "The vast majority of those Holy Son Candidates died at Xiao Mo’s hands. During that ti, your disciple was always by his side."
"Mm." Fang Yanyu nodded. "I also heard that this Xiao Mo obtained Chaos, one of the Four Great Evils of antiquity?"
"Yes." Si Li didn’t mince words. "Chaos has already acknowledged Xiao Mo as its master. Their bond is like that of a father and son."
"You tried to seduce Xiao Mo too, didn’t you? How did that go?" Fang Yanyu asked again.
Si Li gave a bitter smile. "Young Master Xiao didn’t make a move on , but he promised your disciple that as long as our Ten Thousand Flowers Peak does not betray him and serves him well, he will not treat us poorly in the future."
"I see. That’s not enough." Fang Yanyu shook her head. "I’ve t with the Sect Leader of the Changsheng Sect. He’s very interested in you. How about I take you to et him tomorrow?"
"May I ask, Master, what terms did the Changsheng Sect’s Sect Leader offer?" How could Si Li not know that her master was trying to sell her off?
"This Wandao Sect is no good place. The disciples of our Ten Thousand Flowers Peak can leave and form our own Sect. The Changsheng Sect will assist us," Fang Yanyu said.
"I imagine the price you sold for is more than just that, isn’t it, Master?" Si Li said with another bitter smile. "Master has been trying and failing to break through to the Early Stage Immortal realm. The Sect Leader of Changsheng Sect will help you with that, won’t he?"
Fang Yanyu’s brows knitted together. "Si Li, you are being far too insolent!"
"Hehehe... Insolent? Master, didn’t you bring up the mountain for the sole purpose of selling for a good price one day?" Si Li lifted her head, looking directly into Fang Yanyu’s eyes. "But Master, your disciple... is unwilling!"
"Si Li, to dual cultivate with a mighty expert of the Ascension Realm is your good fortune!" Fang Yanyu said coldly.
"Or is it..." Fang Yanyu seed to have realized sothing. "You’ve fallen for Xiao Mo?"
Si Li didn’t answer, rely looking at her.
And not answering was a tacit admission.
"Si Li, you need to think this through!" Fang Yanyu’s eyes narrowed. "So what if you like him? He doesn’t like you!"
"Now, about that, Master."
Si Li took the Jade Pendant from her sleeve and twirled it on her fingertip.
The mont she saw that Jade Pendant, Fang Yanyu’s pupils contracted.
’She had originally thought that even if Si Li refused, she could just tie her up and drag her there.’
’But with that Jade Pendant on her, it ant Blood Sin Peak was backing her.’
’If I were to harm Si Li, that madwoman would probably co and cut down with a single strike.’
"For the next few days, your disciple won’t be staying on Ten Thousand Flowers Peak. Master, please take care of yourself."
Si Li turned and walked down the mountain, step by step. Fang Yanyu could only watch her leave, not daring to stop her.
"Oh, right."
Si Li turned back around, smiling at her master.
"Master just said that Young Master Xiao doesn’t like ."
"But even if he doesn’t, so what?"
"My loving him is my business. What does it have to do with him?"
