Chapter 11: I, Ye Chen, Have Returned! Who Told You to Meddle!
"Yes, we will follow the orders of the Emperor's Son!"
Elder Silver Moon quickly responded.
The people from the Guicang Dao Sect were puzzled, but seeing the Silver Moon Elder's stance, they also nodded in agreement.
"Good. I won't let your two Dao Sects' work go in vain. Naturally, I will express my gratitude."
Su Ming said calmly.
"Thank you, Demon Emperor's Son!"
Both Dao Sects responded in unison.
With just a few words, this calamity of destruction... was resolved.
The disciples of Cangyun Dao Sect were left in a daze.
It was... solved just like that?!
For days, they had been restless, unable to eat or sleep, fearing that the enemy would breach the sect's defenses at any moment and bring about a massacre.
But now, Su Ming had spoken a few words so casually, and the sect's crisis was gone just like that?
Qin Yingluo's heart was filled with waves of emotions.
She secretly turned her head to glance at Su Ming, seeing him still composed, otherworldly, and indifferent.
It was as if he wasn't discussing the life and death of a sect but merely chatting about mundane affairs.
Qin Yingluo's eyes flickered.
Providing others with a sense of security in times of crisis, nothing inspired more trust than that.
Her thoughts drifted.
[Ding! Fate-bound girl Qin Yingluo's loyalty has increased, Ye Chen's fate has decreased by 50 points, and the host's demonic charm has increased by 1,000 points.]
[A/N: 1 Fate Point = 20 Demonic Charm Points]
Hearing the system notification, the corner of Su Ming's mouth curled into a smile.
This "wool" was getting plucked so comfortably.
With Cangyun Dao Sect's issue resolved, Qin Canghai eagerly invited everyone to a grand banquet.
Inside the great hall, music played, people laughed, and the sect's restrictions were lifted. The disciples from the Silver Moon and Guicang Dao Sect also entered.
These seasoned figures, who were at each other's throats just moments ago, were now sitting together, exchanging pleasantries as if they were old friends.
"Dao Master Qin, you made a wise decision this time..."
Elder Silver Moon chuckled.
"Not at all, we are merely serving the Demon Emperor's Son."
Qin Canghai waved his hand modestly, looking content.
"Heh."
During the casual conversation, Elder Silver Moon grew curious and asked casually,
"By the way, what exactly happened last night when the Demon Emperor's Son arrived?"
"How did he change so drastically in just one night?"
"Well..."
Qin Canghai smiled and recounted the events of the great earthquake in the sect.
Elder Silver Moon was utterly shocked upon hearing it, as was the entire Cangyun Dao Sect.
Dragon Power Shattering the Heavens?!
Such an overwhelming boost in strength!
Elder Silver Moon was left both astounded and terrified, secretly making up his mind.
From now on, he must never oppose the Demon Emperor's Son!
On the other side, the Silver Moon Holy Son, full of admiration and amazement, looked toward the high seat.
There sat the Saintess of Cangyun.
Qin Yingluo sat obediently beside Su Ming, delicately peeling a grape and feeding it to him.
Such an act... Where was the rumored cold and untouchable demeanor?
He couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy. The Demon Emperor's Son was truly blessed!
Such beauty, such elegance, she was truly exceptional.
The Silver Moon Holy Son shook his head, not daring to think further.
A woman like that was beyond his reach.
He had already offended the Demon Emperor's Son before and had been harshly reprimanded by the elder. He dared not act rashly again.
"Thank you, Demon Emperor's Son, for everything you have done for Cangyun Dao Sect."
Qin Yingluo sat beside him, her fragrance filling the air.
Her face, fair as snow and breathtakingly beautiful, could captivate the world.
Yet at this moment, she revealed a softness and warmth that had never been seen before.
"It was a small matter. For my people, it was nothing."
My people.
Hearing these words, Qin Yingluo's eyelashes trembled, and her heart quivered.
A complex feeling welled up within her.
Sigh...
She knew Su Ming's nature was indifferent, yet she couldn't help but feel a trace of anticipation.
Maybe... just like this…
Qin Yingluo's mind swirled with thoughts. Just as she was about to speak, suddenly, a scream came from outside the hall.
The lively atmosphere instantly became tense.
"What happened?"
Qin Canghai's eyes turned cold.
"Elder! Someone attacked and killed a disciple from Silver Moon Dao Sect!"
A disciple rushed in to report.
What?!
Everyone was stunned.
They had just resolved their grievances and returned to a peaceful life.
Now, someone had dared to kill a disciple of the Silver Moon Dao Sect?
Elder Silver Moon's face darkened as he looked at Qin Canghai.
Qin Canghai stood up abruptly. "Let's go and check!"
"Elder Silver Moon, rest assured, if this was done by someone from Cangyun Dao Sect, we will give you a proper explanation!"
He was furious.
He had to see for himself who was causing trouble in his sect!
On the high seat, Su Ming's eyes flickered.
That foolish protagonist was back?
Heh… The absolute cinema was about to begin.
…
At the central square of Cangyun Dao Sect.
A figure stood tall, exuding an imposing aura.
"I, Ye Chen, have returned! Who dares to act recklessly in my Cangyun Dao Sect?!"
It was Ye Chen!
At this moment, he had made his triumphant return, eager to showcase his strength and make a name for himself.
His mood was soaring.
The timing of his return was perfect. This group of people must have just arrived at the sect.
But… something felt off.
Why were there no signs of battle?
Ye Chen frowned slightly.
Just then, an angry roar resounded.
"Ye Chen! Who told you to meddle?!"
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Several figures appeared in the square.
Ye Chen looked at the person in the center and was momentarily stunned. "Master?"
"You!"
Qin Canghai's face was grim as he glared at Ye Chen.
Then, he looked at the Silver Moon disciple lying in a pool of blood and was furious.
"Who told you to act?!"
"What…?"
Ye Chen was dumbfounded.
Then, he indignantly said, "Master, these people dared to invade our Cangyun Dao Sect! They deserve to die!"
"Master, don't worry. I have already invited a powerful senior to assist us. Today, our sect may not necessarily lose!"
