Chapter 454 – Arena Competition (5)
After little Yuteng had taken off, Old Man Ying couldn’t wait any longer. He stood up and said, “Young Mistress, I have not been here in quite a while, I am going to go walk around!”
“No rush. Have a seat first!” After she had stop him from leaving, she stared at him in a penetrating kind of way.
“Yes, Young Mistress, what, what else do you need?” asked Old Man Ying after he had sat down and started feeling comfortable under her stare.
“Old Man Ying, you knew about the sacred contract when you left the dinsion, right?” asked Cheng Xiao Xiao as she continued to look at Old Man Ying.
“Ugh.”
That was a question that Old Man Ying had expected. After a slight pause, he said, “Young Mistress, I sense a little bit of it after I ca inside the dinsion. It was more obvious after I have broken through to martial monarch.”
“Hmmm,” nodded Cheng Xiao Xiao. She pursed her lips and didn’t say anything.
Seeing her troubled look, Old Man Ying couldn’t help but asked, “Young Mistress, are you worried about Clan Master Qin and the others?”
“Yes!” Cheng Xiao Xiao looked at him directly and, with a difficult-to-read look, said, “By that ti, you will all be martial monarch and could turn around and kill in an instant.”
“That’s impossible!” Old Man Ying blurted out without thinking!
Not only was Cheng Xiao Xiao surprised, Mo Xuanzun, who had been sitting quietly to one side also looked at him in surprise.
“Not possible? Why do you say that?”
Hearing Cheng Xiao Xiao’s question, Old Man Ying couldn’t help but smiled bitterly, “Young Mistress, have you forgotten? There is no escaping from the contract ford in this dinsion. Even if I am a martial celestial today, I still wouldn’t have half a heart to stand up against you. The power of this dinsion was the sa as whoever it was that set the cultivation cap on the outside. Nobody could stand up against it, and such is the power of this dinsion!”
“The power of this dinsion?” Mo Xuanzun repeated his words.
Old Man Ying nodded solemnly and said, “Yes, nobody could rebel against the power of the dinsion, regardless of how high their level of cultivation is unless he could sohow gain total control over the dinsion; otherwise, nobody will ever be able to break free from the control of the dinsion.”
Hadn’t expecting those words from Old Man Ying, Cheng Xiao Xiao wasn’t sure if she could trust him.
“Miss, don’t worry. I wouldn’t lie to you!”
Noticing the hesitation on her, Old Man Ying said solemnly, “Truth be told, I am quite appreciative that Young Mistress had let live. After all, I was the only who had been hostile toward you first and Young Mistress had no choice but to collect into the dinsion when your own life was in danger. ?Once the contract had been established, my life and death depended only on your whim. Other than being appreciative of Young Mistress’s forgiveness, I was also able to break through to martial monarch. Just for that alone made perfectly okay with being your servant or your slave!”
“I understand your point.” She could tell that he was telling the truth. With a helpless smile, Cheng Xiao Xiao carried on, “But I am afraid every few others will share your point of view, especially the few that are at our ho right now. Do you really think they will be okay with this?”
“Young Mistress, I think the will. As long as Young Mistress doesn’t advocate it, nobody will know of the master/servant contract. aning, as far as they are concerned, they have nothing to lose but a lot to gain. They can weight their pros and cons and realize that they are coming out ahead.”
“I certainly hope so!”
As soon as they returned from this ti, she’d probably have to face those old monsters and give them an answer one way or another. That was why she wanted to understand more about Old Man Ying’s thoughts beforehand.
The next day!
The recruiting of guards for Count Zhongyuan’s residence continued. There were even more attendees today than there was yesterday. And the ones fighting in the arena were all martial spiritualists or above. They were more vicious than the contestants yesterday and they were also much faster in speed.
The number of participants in just the morning had already exceeded that from the day before. It’d seem that they’d be able to recruit enough guards that day.
BOOM!
