Lan Ming's question hit a sour spot in Xiao Lan's heart. She turned her gaze down as she gritted her teeth. She tried to find so words to counter her but she knew in her heart that Lan Ming was right.
She was afraid, and feared the consequences of her choice now. It wasn't her fault as she had seen everything she held dear crumble right in front of her eyes.
That had left a deep scar in her heart and even though Shen Yu had entered her life, bringing joy and hope, her scar didn't heal completely. In fact, it brought a lot of insecurities.
Because of Shen Yu, she was finally feeling the feeling of being loved. And because of that, she had even set her goal of revenge below Shen Yu in her priority. She didn't care anything about now but Shen Yu. However, that made many questions rise in her heart.
What if she lost him like she had lost everything? What if soone took advantage of his kindness? Would she be able to handle that? She didn't even want to think about these questions.
"Sister Lan, you should put your trust in Master like he has done. The reason he's giving so much power to us is probably because he wants to make sure we aren't hard in any way."
Lan Ming sighed and said, clutching her chest.
"Although he didn't show it, I saw the look in his eyes when he had ca to save . I rember that look, that look of fear wasn't sothing I expected him to have. He was genuinely afraid of losing , and he was angry for . We are wrong in one thing. We put him on very high regards and I know he deserves it, but I think he's also new to emotions."
Xiao Lan felt herself shaking hearing Lan Ming's words. Each and every one of her words was digging deep in her heart. And suddenly, sothing changed in her as she thought.
'That's right! He is above everything and everyone. However, he ca to live among everyone to understand the emotions. That's why he's so kind. He's pure. He wants to understand us, that's why he put his trust in us. Not only us but all the disciples who will co to this Sect. It isn't that he doesn't know what he is doing but quite the opposite.'
"Looks like you finally understand. Sister Yue saw through this very early and that's why she keeps saying that we need to protect Master. It's not that he needs our protection because he's weak or anything. But we needs to make sure nobody takes advantage of his kindness."
A crazed grin appeared on Xiao Lan's face as crimson red flas danced in her eyes. She finally understood everything. She finally understood what she needed to do.
'Don't worry, Master. You do whatever you want. We will handle everything. You want to understand how humans feel, right? Hehe, you do that while we'll make sure no bitch takes advantage of you.'
Lan Ming looked at Xiao Lan's crazed expression and a light smiled appeared on her lips. However, if anyone looked closely they would see that both won had similar look in their eyes, as if they would murder anyone for their Master.
Back on the battle ring, Shen Yu faced Ying Yue as she looked at him with a vigilant look in her eyes. She stood there for a few seconds before her eyes widened and she disappeared from her place, as if she had just teleported.
Shen Yu smiled and raised his struck which was coated with a small strand of Qi. The stick t a pair of deadly daggers as they tried to cut the stick but it still held on. He then deflected the daggers and attacked with his own stick.
However, Ying Yue was very fast and escaped his attack range before the attack could reach her. She stood a few tres away from Shen Yu, her chest rising up and down as she took heavy breaths.
"That was a brilliant idea. When did you learn it?"
Shen Yu said in amazent as he looked at his Shadow. Ying Yue had actually teleported in a way as she had used her shadow and his shadow as a bases to travel between the distances. It was a deadly technique which could catch the opponent off guard, especially with how fast Ying Yue was. It had taken only a second for her to attack and retreat from his attack.
Ying Yue narrowed her eyes as she began to contemplate sothing. She didn't speak for a while and simply sat on the ring's floor. Shen Yu also didn't disturb as he could see that she was very serious.
'Aye! My disciples are too talented. She really made a shadow step, huh.'
Shen Yu knew that Ying Yue previously didn't have such a good technique so that could only an that she had made the technique in the short ti they had t. And it might even be her first ti using it and she was already this terrifying.
Finally, Ying Yue stood up and asked Shen Yu, instead of answering his question.
"Master, can I try one more ti?"
"Sure, I'm already excited to see what new things you have."
Shen Yu chuckled and again got ready for the fight. As he faced Ying Yue, be carefully examined her and was surprised at sothing he had not noticed till now.
'I can't hear her footsteps. Now that I think about it, I have heard her footsteps only a few tis. No wonder that organisation wanted to kill her. She's just too amazing. Heh, but she's my wife now.'
It was a very small thing that others didn't notice and even he had not. But it showed how terrifying assassin Ying Yue was. She was a reaper who would kill you and nobody would even notice.
After a few seconds, Ying Yue again disappeared from her spot.
