Chapter 2253: Sect Leader This, Sect Leader That
Mei Wu retracted the sword angrily. “If you haven’t left the young miss’s body when the time comes, I will tell the sect leader.”
Ning Shu rolled her eyes. “Everyone will already be informed if you speak just a little louder. When that happens I will be burned to death as a monster, and your young miss will also be reduced to a pinch of ashes.”
Mei Wu felt that his IQ was repeatedly insulted. “It is obviously you who should be careful. Why are you threatening me? I advise you to know your place and not make a fuss in front of the sect leader. Not only is the young miss not close with the sect leader, but she is also actually scared of him.”
Ning Shu raised her hand and felt around her head, and her fingers landed on the place Ye Hua had touched.
On Ning Shu’s neck, there was a small raised object, which seemed to be a mole.
It seemed that Ye Hua was a little suspicious of her. However, she had to gain his support for this plan in order to achieve the best results.
If Ye Hua disapproved though, then she would have no choice but to act alone.
Ning Shu was just worried that Ye Hua would also send people over after she impersonated Qi Yi. If that happened, she would have to fight the people on her own side.
Ning Shu returned to her room and wanted to continue practicing. Mei Wu asked Ning Shu, “Are you really going to follow through with such a dangerous task?”
“You can’t take risks while you’re in the body of the young miss. Didn’t you say that the young miss won’t be able to return either if you die? I’m going to ask the sect leader not to let you go,” said Mei Wu.
“Sect leader this, sect leader that. Do you have any thoughts of your own?” Ning Shu said angrily, “If the sect leader kills me, your young miss won’t be able to come back either. Are you sure this is what you want to do?”
“All you ever do is threaten me with the young miss! I’ll complain that you have threatened me… I’m n-not afraid.” Mei Wu stammered.
Ning Shu said, “When I finish what I came here to do, I will leave naturally. If I do nothing, the time I stay will only increase. When your young miss finally returns, she will have become a wrinkled old woman.”
“I need to follow you in order to protect the young miss’s body.” Mei Wu said.
“Up to you.”
The question was whether or not Ye Hua would allow Ning Shu to go.
Ning Shu took a pill and began to practice. No matter what, Ning Shu had to cultivate first. The energy in her dantian was so close to forming a shape.
After the energy successfully took shape, she would be much stronger.
Ning Shu waited for a few days, and Ye Hua finally called for her. He probably finally thought things through.
Ye Hua was straight to the point. “I will allow you to go.”
“Thank you, Brother.”
“Call me Sect Leader.”
“Yes, Sect Leader.”
So ruthless, so cold, so unreasonable.
“Another letter is here, its contents urging you to hurry up and leave.” Ye Hua sneered, they really treated the Sacred Demonic Cult as a place where one could come and go whenever they pleased.
Ye Hua looked at Ning Shu and said, “This task is very dangerous. Don’t pay any mind that those people are from the renowned righteous sects, and that they seem to place the good of the common people in their hearts. Scholars will use their words to overturn courts, and soldiers will use their military might to fight wars. Once discovered, you will surely die a miserable death.”
There was a little struggle on Ning Shu’s face before she said, “I still want to go. I also want to help you, Brother… Sect Leader. I am also a child of the former sect leader.”
Ye Hua was expressionless, touching his sleeves. “Does Hong Ye want to be the sect leader?”
Ning Shu: →_→
“Hong Ye has no such thoughts. The Sacred Demonic Cult has always been painstakingly managed by the sect leader. Moreover, other sect members will not even know that Hong Ye is carrying out this task. Hong Ye depends on the protection of the Sacred Demonic Cult, and Hong Ye wishes to take on this task to repay the cult.”
Ye Hua had a faint expression and pressed a button on his chair. A small box appeared from the wall behind Ye Hua.
Ye Hua took a manual out of the box and threw it to Ning Shu. Ning Shu quickly caught and took a look at it. It was “Guiyuan Sacred Martial Arts”.
The manual was very old and seemed to have experienced wear throughout the years. Ning Shu said, “Sect Leader, actually, a fake would be good enough.”
