Chapter 95: Can I Dissect Him?

"Sister Xi, you shouldn't do anything that might make people question our relationship. Remember what Master said?"

Song Junwan said, with a hint of concern in her tone.

"He wants you to be an insider in the Heavenly Sect Federation. I'm sure he have many plans for you."

"Hehe, of course I know. How can I forget something Master said? As for our relationship, you don't need to be so worried. There is a reason why I'm choosing this mode for the match."

Ning Xi grinned and replied.

"You see, the number of Spiritual Creatures in the periphery of Tando Woodlands always increases in every few months and we have to clear them out before they make a huge Beast Tide. Although the Town can take on a small beast tide, if a Ruler emerges from the Spiritual Creatures, then that would be a problem. And guess what? It's that time of hunting so I thought why not use this method."

She gulped a mouthful of wine, making her a little tipsy but she still continued.

"The First round of qualifiers would be a battle royal in which every sect will send one person in a designated area of the Tando Woodlands. They will be given a day to kill the Spiritual Creatures there and collect their Spirit Cores. After a day, they will have to come here and submit their number of cores. They will be given points based on the Spirit Cores and ranked. Top 16 participants will advance along with their sects while others will be eliminated. After all, who got time to deal with so many sects and if you can't even produce a single good prodigy then there's no point in continuing. Although I know team work is important, it won't do shit if every individual is shit."

Ning Xi continued to rant for some time, which seemed like she was letting out her frustration on something so the others let her be.

They had rarely seen Ning Xi in such mood and they knew it was because of her past. But they didn't talk about it because she didn't want to remember it.

After some time, Ning Xi realised what she was doing and clicked her tongue looking at the wine gourd.

"Tsk! This thing is worthless."

She threw it aside and then turned towards Song Junwan.

"Yup, if the federation found out that you have killed someone important of other sect, especially of a Sect like Seven Stars Sect, then they'll ask Master to hand you over. Do you think he would?"

Ying Yue lingered for a while and then sighed.

"So troublesome. I really should just go and assassinate him. But there's no fun in that."

'You want fun in killing?'

Zhi Yan and others who were new gave strange glances to their senior sister but then they saw the book they were reading and kind of agreed with Ying Yue.

It was then the room's door screeched open as a average looking person walked in. Seeing him, everyone stood up from their seats and Zhi Yan quickly hid the book in her space ring, sweating hard and wondering if Shen Yu had seen it.

Ning Xi looked at her new wine gourd and reluctantly put it away. She then cleared her chair, and said.

"Master, please sit."

Shen Yu nodded, a little awkward as he still wasn't used to such attention and authority. Still, he was the Sect Master and their leader now so he have to do this.

He went to sit down on Ning Xi's seat and said, looking at Zhi Yan's and other's stiff posture.

"We aren't in a sect meeting, you know. You don't have to be formal around me. It feels like you're making distance between us."

Ning Xi grinned and jumped, landing right on Shen Yu's lap. She wiggled a little as her butt touched many places and said.

"Now, this is perfect, right? Hehe."
