Chapter 42: Oh, You are here!
“I Want, YOU!!”
“Huh??”
Everyone had their mouths gaped open at this declaration.
“W-What do you mean, young master?”
The sect master asked with a concerned face.
Although Ashen had informed him of his wish to make Ling Yun accompany him to the Phoenix Feather Sect, however, he had no idea that Ashen was asking for Ling Yun like this.
He thought that Ashen wanted to make Ling Yun a disciple of the phoenix feather sect.
Since he said that he was Mo Fan’s friend, the sect master assumed that naturally, this was the case.
However, now the situation was different.
“I mean that I want Ling Yun to come with me and become my maid.
I needed one and she seems to be perfect for it”
Ashen informed with a straight face as if this wasn’t a big issue.
Ling Yun’s eyes widened upon hearing this as she glared at Ashen, shouting in anger:
“You Beast, How dare you say something like this?
Do you think I am easy to bully?
You young masters are, all the same, First Bi Chi and now you.
Do you think you can make me do anything you want just because you have a powerful background?
That Bi Chi also wanted me to become his mistress, should I’ve said yes to him just because he had power?
I love Mo Fan and no one other than him can touch me!!”
Seeing her shout at Ashen like that, the sect master got worried, and concerned about Ashen getting angry and killing Ling Yun.
However, contrary to his expectations, he saw something uncommon.
Instead of being offended, Ashen revealed an amused smile before speaking:
“See, this is your problem.
You can’t assess the situation that you are in.
You mistake your weakness as your strength.
Let me make the situation clear to you!”
He pointed at Mo Chen before continuing to explain with an amused expression:
“You see him here, He is the death of your lover.
Mo Fan has stolen a high-grade skill from Mo’s Family and If Mo Chen informs his family about this, You can guess what will happen to Mo Fan then.
With the might of the Powerful Mo Family, He will soon be captured and executed.
Do You want that?”
Ashen asked while raising his eyebrows.
With his explanation of the scenario, Ling Yun could grasp that what Ashen said was true.
This would become Mo Fan’s future if Mo Chen informs the main Mo Family.
She only thought of Mo Fan as a boy with weak cultivation and a low-grade spirit.
She wasn’t aware that he was a protagonist and wouldn’t die so easily, therefore, upon being threatened like this by Ashen, she couldn’t help but worry about Mo Fan.
After all, who could escape from the Mo Family’s pursuit inside the Xia Kingdom?
Contemplating all this, She shook her head before answering:
“N-No I don’t want that”
“Good,” Ashen said with a nod before adding:
“Now, I will make you an offer, accept it and I Promise that Mo Chen won’t tell his family about Mo Fan’s thievery!”
“Hmm,” Ling Yun responded with a nod, paying attention to Ashen’s next words.
“Become my maid and serve me well in the Phoenix Feather Sect.
I am not looking for a sex slave so you don’t have to worry about me taking advantage of you.
Also, I already have a maid who is more beautiful and powerful than you. I wouldn’t be interested in you even if you wanted that.
I just need you to occupy a spot and serve me.”
Ashen was talking about Shiyue here.
Also, by making Ling Yun doubt her beauty, he made her compelled to prove herself to Ashen.
“He has a maid more beautiful than me?
I have always been called the most beautiful wherever I went.
I don’t believe that a maid can be more beautiful than me.”
Ling Yun thought to herself in disbelief, however, she remained calm on the outside.
“Ah, also, If you are thinking to refuse, then know this,
If you reject this offer, I’ll make the Phoenix Feather Sect go after Mo Fan too.
You will also not be able to live here carefree.
In the span of a year, I will make this sect disappear from the world and you along with it!”
Ashen threatened in a cold and menacing voice.
Hearing his threat, the one to respond wasn’t Ling Yun, but, the sect master who only heard about the destruction of his sect.
He was smart enough to understand why Ashen needed a year to destroy his sect, even though he had the phoenix feather sect.
It was because, Ashen wanted to destroy this sect with his own hands and he believed that he would be able to do so within a year.
He was already seen as a genius by the Sect master for being the young master of the Phoenix Feather sect.
He had also heard about a disciple accepted by the phoenix Feather Sect who had an 8-star spirit.
He feared that Ashen was that disciple as only that level of genius could destroy his sect within a year.
“No, Young Master!” He yelled before bowing to plead: “Please don’t implicate my sect in this. I do not wish to be enemies with you.
I will do as you say.
How about this?
I free Ling Yun at this moment and cut off any relations with her.
Whatever happens to her from this moment on is of no concern to Vine Bull Sect!”
The sect master had a frightened expression throughout as he declared all this with a quivering but loud voice.
Ling Yun had her eyes widened in shock upon hearing the sect master’s declaration.
She looked at the sect master with innocent eyes before muttering: “Sect master, Please!”
However, the sect master was in no mood to act as a nice old man when his sect’s existence was threatened.
He turned his head towards Ling Yun before shaking it in helplessness:
“Sorry Ling Yun, However, I can’t protect you from this, Please forgive me and leave the sect!”
Seeing the sect master back out like this, Ling Yun understood the severity of this whole situation and the power that Ashen held.
Until now, she didn’t fully understand how big Ashen’s background was, however, this scene was enough to clear her doubts.
To make a sect master beg him to not destroy his sect was a sight enough to know that Ashen belonged to a different level.
“What is this situation? Do I have no choice other than to accept his offer?”
Ling Yun thought internally with a conflicted expression.
Previously she planned to rely on the Vine Bull Sect’s protection, however, now that the Sect master had backed out, she had no other choice than to accept being Ashen’s maid.
She knew that even if she refused, the sect master would force her to accept to save his sect.
Seeing her conflicted expression, Ashen knew that fish was in the bag now, therefore, he decided to give a final push to make her accept.
With a smile, he asked:
“What’s Wrong? Not willing?
Should I just take you by force?”
This sentence was enough for Ling Yun to know that Ashen was just asking her, out of formality and could take her with him by force if he wanted to.
She didn’t know that she was a heroine and Ashen couldn’t force her to do anything.
The World’s will was protecting her and would retaliate if Ashen crossed the line.
Ashen knew this and thus was doing all this to make Ling Yun agree to be his maid.
With this Final push, Ling Yun rushed herself to blurt out loudly without thinking:
“Willing! I am willing!!
I accept your offer.
I will become your maid, just keep your promise and leave Mo Fan alone!”
She hated this powerless feeling and thus made a promise to herself:
“I will accept my fate this time.
Just wait, I will grow more powerful than you all and will decide my fate with my own hands.
Brother Mo Fan, I hope you will understand my decision.”
Ashen, hearing her accepting his offer, nodded in satisfaction before instructing:
“Alright, then we will leave in one hour.
Make preparations and say your goodbyes.”
Ling Yun nodded before watching Ashen and Mo Chen leave the Prison.
The Sect master freed her before complying with her requests.
In just a short period, she packed all her stuff before meeting Ashen outside the sect.
She had no one to say goodbye to in the sect.
The Friends she had before going to prison all broke their relations with her to not get targeted by Bi Chi.
Only the Sect master remained to support her, however, even he turned his back on her.
“Oh, You are here!
Then let’s leave now”
Ashen exclaimed as his gaze fell on Ling Yun who was carrying her stuff with both hands.
Ling Yun nodded before sitting in the carriage which was waiting for Ashen and Mo Chen.
All three of them sat inside before leaving for the Phoenix Feather Sect.
In the one hour that Ashen had given Ling Yun to get ready, he also instructed Mo Chen to instruct his family all about Mo Fan through a letter.
Mo Chen had sent the letter to his family already.
Although Ashen promised Ling Yun that he wouldn’t let Mo Chen’s family know about Mo Fan.
But Why would a villain keep his word?
For honor?
Would honor give him the power to save his life from the protagonists and the beings that would come after him in the future?
Would honor give him the power to get the things that he desired?
No!
Only Villain points were his goal and he sure got a hell lot of them from breaking his promise, but he decided to check them in his room.
