Xuefeng’s eyebrows raised even though he already expected that.
"I assu Master changed your mind since I’m still alive," Xuefeng replied calmly.
"You still call your Master even after knowing that?" Sect Master Liu asked curiously. "How can you trust soone who wanted to kill you?"
"Well, it’s not like I have a choice. There are tens of experts trying to kill right now. I can only cling to the strongest one in hope of scaring the rest away," Xuefeng explained with a shrug. "I also doubt Master would kill in front of my wives. If they see that, your own family would imdiately beco a target as well."
"Hahaha!" Sect Master Liu burst out laughing. "Do you really think my wife and daughter can’t beat your wives? You know my wife is a Celestial Dragon and my daughter is at the top as well, right?"
He seed very proud of his family, but that was even better for Xuefeng. He smiled mysteriously as he muttered, "If Master thinks that Cultivation Stage is everything then maybe I should really reconsider my future."
Sect Master Liu’s expression changed as he gazed at the group of four girls chatting. They were staring at them and his wife even waved at him.
"I see. So you are thinking that your wife’s Elvish Bloodline is better than my wife’s Dragon Bloodline?" Sect Master Liu asked with a grin.
"Not just the Bloodline. It just happens we know quite a few Forbidden Arts which doesn’t require high cultivation to execute," Xuefeng described with a shrug. "Why else would I dare to co here knowing I can be in danger?"
"Haha, so that’s where you get your confidence," Sect Master Liu laughed again, not at all intimidated. "I sohow really want to test your theory."
"I know you won’t, Master. You care more about your family’s wellbeing than winning an argunt of whose wife is better. I’m the sa. I know the truth and that’s enough for . I don’t need to prove it to anyone," Xuefeng convinced.
"You are right. I won’t. My wife asked to give you a chance first to see if you are any good," Sect master Liu revealed. "But because of that, there is a certain issue that we need to resolve,"
"Let guess. Master was asked by soone else to kill and deliver an Elental Bracelet to them. You didn’t think too much of it and agreed, coming here with that purpose. Who would have thought that I would already be your student recruited by your daughter and your wife would take a liking to , putting you in an awkward spot," Xuefeng recounted what they guessed. "Am I close?"
"More or less. If it was just you being my student, I wouldn’t care less and simply kill you. It just happened that I didn’t see my wife for a long ti while preparing for a breakthrough so I can’t reject the only thing she asked to do," Sect Master Liu explained casually.
"Now tell ," he added with a pause. "What do I tell my own Master when he asks if I brought him the Elental Bracelet? If you can solve this problem then I can let you live."
Xuefeng nodded, already expected such an outco. Even the strongest expert had to have a Master at so point. It was extrely hard to progress quickly without any kind of support. If he didn’t have Ling, he would still be at the bottom of the food chain, training in his hotown.
’His Master is probably outside the Heaven Realm,’ Ling pointed out. ’If he was here, wouldn’t he co to fight us himself? Elental Bracelet is too important to miss out on.’
’That’s what I thought too. Him instructing Sect Master Liu on his stead ans we have so ti to prepare,’ Xuefeng thought, already having a response ready.
"It’s simple," Xuefeng replied as he extended his hand, spawning a small fla on his palm. "Master, how about you let handle the problem for you?"
"Isn’t that what I’m asking you to do?" Sect Master Liu asked back confused.
"No, Master doesn’t understand. I will ’handle’ him for you," Xuefeng repeated, emphasizing one word before smiling.
Swoosh!
The fla on his palm burst out upwards, enlarging by hundreds of tis. Sect Master Liu couldn’t help but jump back as flas flew back to Xuefeng, drowning him in the crimson sea. They danced around him as if he was its father, listening to every command he gave out.
"So that’s the power of the Elental Bracelet," Sect Master Liu muttered, observing with interest.
The flas compressed, coiling around Xuefeng as if a living armor and he spoke confidently, "Master, you underestimate my potential. The more ti I have, the stronger I beco. With Elental Bracelet, my strength multiplies with each Elental Stone collected. Give a year and I will fight that Master of yours by myself. He wants to get the Elental Bracelet? I will give him the chance."
"Hah, do you even realize how big of the gap there is between you and him?" Sect Master Liu said with a chuckle. "He has two Elental Stones just as you and is probably looking for the third one right now. Even without the Elental Bracelet, the stones alone gives him a great boost in strength. If not , soone else will co to get you before you can get to the point of contesting him."
’Perfect! If we kill him, it will save us a lot of ti to gather the stones!’ Xuefeng exclaid excitedly.
The flas disappeared, sucked into his body as Xuefeng questioned excitedly, "Does it matter? With Master’s protection, I will get enough ti to overgrow him. As he has the Elental Stones, I will need to fight him at so point anyway. It’s just a matter of when."
"What makes you think I would do that? Do you want to go against my Master’s order?" Sect Master Liu asked amused.
"Master, I don’t think you want to listen to your master any more. If you admired your master, you wouldn’t hesitate and killed already, even if that might upset your wife. You know she would understand it and accepted it, yet you still chose to fulfill her wish which shows you value your wife’s wishes more than your Master’s order," Xuefeng guessed.
He didn’t stop there and added, "I’m sure you are already tired of performing tasks for your master and I will be doing you a favor by killing him. Just give a year. I will be strong enough to handle this problem."
Sect Master Liu grinned, staring at him deep in thought.
"Fine. One year. I will protect you from experts for one year and then bring you to fight my master. I won’t care if you are ready or not," Sect Master Liu declared.
Xuefeng’s eyes lit up.
’Great! I bought us one year!’
’...’
All he heard back was silence, making him confused.
’Is anyone there?’
Sect Master Liu spoke before he got any reply.
"Just to remind you, the fastest person to Cultivate from Spirit God Stage to the peak of Celestial Stage took around ten years. Naturally, he had a Nine-elental Core as well. I am really curious as to how you are going to finish in just one year."
’Our husband is really ambitious, what can I say,’ Ling comnted.
’I like it. Xuefeng knows how to make it spicy, even outside of the bed,’ Ming affird. ’I wanted to give him five years but didn’t think he would be this confident. I’m proud.’
Five years... Five years... Five years...
Ming’s words echoed in Xuefeng’s mind.
Sect Master Liu seed to enjoy Xuefeng’s change of expression as he burst out laughing.
"Hahaha, just saying, this is final. Don’t ask for more ti. You wanted one year and one year you will get. I wouldn’t mind giving you at least five before, but now if you ask for more I will look down on you. Be a man of your word."
Everyone once had that one mont when they already knew they fucked up, right after they did sothing.
’Don’t worry love, you can always be the first to finish the challenge in a year, right?’ Ling cheered up. ’If there is anyone who can do it, it is definitely you!’
Too bad, it didn’t make the task easier.
’Fuck...’
