Monarch Night

"Get up."

The Starlight Master spoke with a deep and indifferent voice, looking at the twenty-seven people before him, he said blandly: "Originally, five days ago, our Escort Agency could no longer accept anyone. However, since Zheng Yunqi and Zhao Wushang brought you in, it would be inappropriate to drive you out now."

"As of now, our sub branch has already completed the tasks given by headquarters. We are currently only waiting for the period of inspection and evaluation, all the preliminary work has been completed. So you twenty-seven individuals are quite lucky."

The twenty-seven people couldn't help but show joy on their faces.

However, Zheng Yunqi and others looked displeased, their gaze towards these people was as sharp as knives.

Damn it, the fruits of our life-and-death struggles, and these twenty-seven guys are just enjoying the results.

"So, during this time, the Escort Agency must not have any issues!"

"Zhao Wushang, Zheng Yunqi!"

"We are here!"

"Teach these twenty-seven people well! If any issues arise..."

The Starlight Master spoke with a sinister tone, saying calmly: "I will only tell you one thing, even if all twenty-seven of them die... there must be no issues with the Escort Agency!"

"Rest assured, Master! We will complete the task diligently. If anything goes wrong, we will personally take responsibility!"

Zhao Wushang and Zheng Yunqi felt grateful, knowing that this was a way to give them authority in front of the twenty-seven, and later to discipline them and demand gratitude in return...

This is a great favor, and also a boost to their future prospects!

Everyone is smart here; they surely understand, right??

"Hm, as long as you understand."

The Starlight Master nodded, saying indifferently: "You can all leave now."

People started to leave one after another.

But Zhou Mei'er and about ten other women didn't leave; they stayed behind.

The Starlight Master leaned tiredly against the throne, about to close his eyes, but noticed so many girls hadn't left, and couldn't help frowning: "Do you have any business?"

Zhou Mei'er stepped forward, showing concern: "Master, do you... have something on your mind? You don't look very happy?"

The Starlight Master rolled his eyes: "Why so concerned about me? Why don't you marry me, then?"

"Sure!"

Zhou Mei'er agreed immediately, very straightforwardly.

Instantly, the ten or so women beside her burst into giggles, shaking with laughter.

"..."

The Starlight Master's eyes bulged, and he coughed: "What nonsense! Any business?"

Zhou Mei'er refused to let it go: "Master, I agreed just now."

"Shoo, shoo..."

The Starlight Master said awkwardly: "It's a joke, don't take it seriously. You really think someone like me could marry you heavenly beauties? If this got out, your family would be the first to want my head! I still want to live a few more years."

Zhou Mei'er and the others showed a hint of melancholy in their eyes.

They knew the Starlight Master was telling the truth.

Even if they were of secondary birth, it wouldn't be their turn to marry a mere squad leader of a subordinate sect.

Zhou Mei'er paused for a bit and said: "I was just joking because you seemed unhappy, Master."

In her heart, she sighed softly.

I was not joking.

If you dare to marry, I really dare to wed!

"It's nothing, it's just... the Sect Hierarch has vaguely expressed that once the evaluation is completed, after you leave, I'll hang on for a while longer and then will be reassigned elsewhere."

The Starlight Master said tiredly: "It's not much of a big deal."

"How could the Yin Sect Leader be like this?"

Immediately, the women grew indignant: "Isn't this the classic case of 'removing the bridge after crossing the river' or 'killing the donkey after it has done its work'?"

The Starlight Master rolled his eyes: "It's okay to be a dismantled bridge, but being a butchered donkey is unacceptable."

The women didn't laugh: "That's too unfair, Master, you..."

The Starlight Master smiled faintly: "Ultimately, sending you away is already a great reward for me... Alright, don't worry about me, focus on yourselves, completing the task is one thing, going back alive is another."

He waved his hand: "Go back and practice! Don't bother me!"

The women, still indignant, murmured among themselves as they retreated.

Zhou Mei'er walked out of the hall, still uneasy, took a few steps, and came back again.

But she saw the throne was already empty.

The Starlight Master had already disappeared.

Leaving behind only an empty throne, silently remaining there, lonely.

She stepped forward a few steps, staring at the throne in a daze.

Reaching out her hand to feel the residual warmth on the cushion.

Murmuring: "I promised."

Two streams of tears suddenly fell, dropping onto the throne.

...

Fang Che was flying through the night sky, the Bingche Spirit Platform fully activated.

Suppressing all distractions.

Even the guilt in his heart, he suppressed as well.

His gaze became as calm as ice and snow once again.

With great affairs unfinished, the mental realm must remain unperturbed.

If there is guilt, if there is regret, someday, I will make it up!

Old Zuo, my path forward demands loyal souls, not just you and your brothers.

In the future, I don't know how many more of our own people I'll have to kill.

In the end, let's settle this account all together.

Returning to the Scholar Residence.

It was already the latter half of the night.

He went to the study, taking out the Nourishing God Pill that Ye Yun had sent.

This pill, Ye Yun said could be taken after breaking through the Martial Marquis level, enhancing the Divine Sense!

However, even after breaking through to Martial Marquis, Fang Che had not used it.

The last beating from Ye Yun had made him wary.

Although he said after breaking through to Martial Marquis it could be used, that last beating directly helped me achieve the Martial Marquis breakthrough.

Clearly, he wanted me to take it immediately after breaking through to Martial Marquis.

Fang Che felt he had some agenda.

So he delayed until now, reaching the Peak of Fifth Grade before trying it!

Bingche Spirit Platform, activate.

Infinite Scripture, a protective escort.

He carefully opened the bottle, inside was a pill emitting mist, as he took out the pill, a swirl of cloud rose suddenly like a red sun rising from a sea of clouds.
