MTLNOVEL Chapter 15: Eldest Senior Sister: My Chance Has Come!
Chapter 15: Eldest Senior Sister: My Chance Has Come!
“Eldest Senior Sister, calm down! Calm down!” Ye Shu took a few steps back as she pressed forward relentlessly.
Nie Qing was unyielding.
Her long sword was held straight, pointing directly at Ye Shu’s throat. “I’ll cut you down, you scoundrel!”
As the eldest disciple under Luo Jiuyan and the senior sister of all the disciples in the Heavenly Fiend Sect, Nie Qing was renowned and held an exalted status!
Among the disciples, her reputation was absolutely on par with Ye Shu’s title of Demon Prince.
Additionally, her fiery temper and decisive actions, always striking with ruthless precision, had earned her the nickname “Little Luo Jiuyan.”
There was a saying among the disciples: “It’s better to offend the Demon Prince than to provoke Senior Sister Nie Qing.”
It wasn’t that Ye Shu, the Demon Prince, was a pushover, but rather that Senior Sister Nie Qing was simply too brutal!
Anyone who dared to provoke her would surely face a bloodbath!
Even Ye Shu, the Demon Prince, was now retreating step by step under her sharp blade. “Eldest Senior Sister, let’s talk this out! Master is inside; she’ll mediate for us.”
“You!”
Nie Qing’s face turned red with anger.
But considering that this was the Heavenly Fiend Sect, she slowly lowered her sword, though she still said fiercely, “I’m going to ask Master for justice!”
This “justice” naturally referred to Ye Shu’s confessions of love to several senior sisters.
She had the “honor” of being one of them!
However, seeing Ye Shu standing there unharmed filled her with rage.
She thought to herself, “Has Master not punished him? Or has she already punished him?”
“He can’t get away with this! Otherwise, the sect’s discipline will be ruined by this scoundrel! He must be punished accordingly!”
With these thoughts, she stormed into the hall.
Ye Shu watched her heroic figure disappear into the hall, feeling a chill in his heart.
What was I thinking back then, confessing to such a domineering woman? In fact, the difficulty of confessing to her was no less than confessing to Luo Jiuyan.
Thankfully, she didn’t agree. Otherwise, Ye Shu didn’t dare imagine the torment he would have endured.
Shaking his head, Ye Shu decided it was best not to linger in this dangerous place any longer. It was time to leave.
Whatever she and Master discussed, Luo Jiuyan would surely side with him.
With this thought in mind, Ye Shu made a quick escape.
…
Half an hour later.
Inside the Asura Hall.
Luo Jiuyan looked coldly at Nie Qing below, her expression one of disappointment.
Nie Qing, on the other hand, hung her head in defeat, her earlier fervor completely gone.
The two had engaged in a fierce war of words, arguing intensely…
But given their master-disciple relationship, Nie Qing, despite having reason on her side, was ultimately overwhelmed by Luo Jiuyan’s authority.
She was disheartened and couldn’t understand!
Why was Master defending a scoundrel who had disgraced the sect, saying so many good things about him?
What was so great about him?
Sure, he was a reincarnated saint, blessed with great fortune, and possessed a face that made all other men pale in comparison!
But was it necessary to favor him so blatantly?
“So biased!” Nie Qing thought to herself.
She had long held a grudge against Ye Shu. Originally, she had thought the title of Demon Prince would be hers, but Ye Shu had snatched it away.
And now this!
She believed it was all because Master Luo Jiuyan doted on Ye Shu too much!
On the throne.
Seeing Nie Qing’s obvious dissatisfaction, Luo Jiuyan felt helpless.
Both were her beloved disciples.
If she sided with Ye Shu, she would naturally offend Nie Qing.
But there was no other choice. After all, she had already promised him… that favor…
Not siding with him would be unreasonable.
To placate Nie Qing, Luo Jiuyan said, “Your Junior Brother has already overcome his inner demons and no longer harbors such improper thoughts. You should be more forgiving.”
Nie Qing raised her head, her eyes filled with doubt. “Master, it’s not that I don’t trust you, but I no longer have any trust in him!”
“I’m afraid you’ve been deceived by him!”
These words came from the heart.
Back when she had conceded the title of Demon Prince to Ye Shu, she had done so because he had shown her respect and deference.
She had thought he was a good Junior Brother who respected his elders and upheld righteousness.
But who could have guessed!
Just a few days ago, he had shamelessly confessed his feelings to her!
And even proposed that kind of relationship!
The trust she had painstakingly built with him had crumbled in an instant.
In its place was a deep-seated disgust for Ye Shu!
From that moment on, Nie Qing had been itching to cut him down!
“You… sigh…”
Seeing that Nie Qing remained unyielding, Luo Jiuyan felt helpless.
After some thought, she finally proposed a solution. “Then I guarantee that he will never act recklessly within the sect again. Are you satisfied?”
Hearing this, Nie Qing nodded apprehensively. “Master’s word is law. This disciple would not dare to complain.”
After saying this, she pondered the words carefully, and a faint smile appeared on her lips. “Then, Master, if he dares to offend again, how should he be dealt with?”
Although she had received a guarantee, without clear rules, who knew if Master Luo Jiuyan would bend the rules again?
So, she brought this up to secure a satisfactory answer.
“This…”
Luo Jiuyan hesitated for a moment, then her expression turned stern. “If he dares to offend again, he will be dealt with according to the sect’s ironclad rules!”
“Good!” Nie Qing’s face lit up, and she clapped her hands. This was what she wanted to hear.
Not the earlier words that seemed to subtly defend Ye Shu. She had grown tired of those.
Nie Qing pressed further. “Master, these are your words. If he dares to harass any female disciples again, you will punish him according to the sect rules!”
Seeing this, Luo Jiuyan couldn’t help but smile disdainfully. What are you still afraid of?
He already has me, his master, as his inner demon. Why are you all still so worried? It’s utterly ridiculous.
She replied, “Naturally.”
If Ye Shu dared to engage in such disgraceful behavior again, not only would the senior sisters be displeased, but she, as his master and the one tied to his favor, would be the first to punish him!
“Thank you, Master.” Having received a satisfactory answer, Nie Qing stopped pressing the issue. She bowed and then turned to leave.
Sitting on her throne, Luo Jiuyan watched the figure of her eldest disciple leave, her eyes narrowing slightly.
Something felt off.
Based on her years of understanding Nie Qing, Luo Jiuyan felt that this matter wouldn’t end here.
Especially when, just before Nie Qing disappeared from the hall, she caught a glimpse of a smile on her face.
“What is she smiling about?” Luo Jiuyan sensed something was wrong and considered calling her back to question her.
But then she thought better of it. As a master, she couldn’t afford to lose face. So, she let it go.
After leaving the hall, Nie Qing’s face finally broke into a smile. She glanced at the guards standing stiffly nearby.
Then, looking out at the vast snowscape, she murmured to herself, “My chance has come!”
