In a small well lit room, the future of not only Qing Empire but also of the whole world was being decided. The being who would do all of this was sitting on a regal throne like seat as many Heavenly Beauties surrounded him from both sides, having a seat of their own.
Listening to Qing Zhiyan, Shen Yu shrugged.
"It doesn't really matter even if they come. I have already plans to deal with them because of my past anyways so if they dared to stand in my way, they would just get crushed."
Song Junwan titled her head to the sides and asked.
"Your past, Master?"
"Yes, I once belonged to a Sect there but my fellow brother betrayed me and took the seat of Sect Master for himself. At first, I just wanted to get back at him through the Sect I'm making, but I guess I'll just take back what belonged to me in the first place. That sect would be mine too."
Everyone was surprised hearing that and couldn't help but feel pity towards the man who betrayed Shen Yu. They felt anger, even boundless rage as they just wanted to rip apart him but they also knew that being an enemy of someone like Shen Yu was practically a death sentence.
'Hmm, so he had actually first travelled to that side and as he was still new to these all emotions and mortal things, he got betrayed. No wonder he decided to come here then. He must have seen the worst of that side, but oh well, the world is worst anyways.
Master is an oddity in it, he's too kind but he's also learning.'
Xiao Lan had a peculiar smile on her face as she licked her lips.
'Still I wonder who dared to actually betray master? Should I burn him in my flames for eternity? Or let his skin and the body slowly rot? Hmm, I'll have to discuss it with others.'
Her gazed then passed through her sisters and as she had guessed, they were all having their own thoughts about this which they would need to discuss later. After all, the person who betrayed Shen Yu was probably a very high figure in the holy lands.
'But I doubt he's anything in front of master. It was more of a emotional betrayal that probably hurt him. Master, he had only seen the worst but there is also good side. We need to shower him with our love.
"You remember that participant from the Seven Stars Sect, Master?"
"The one who fought alongside Yue'er? I have to say he's very talented and if even she allowed him to fight alongside her, I guess he wasn't like Bai Chen. Hmm, his name was Bai Li, is he somehow connected with Bai Chen?"
Shen Yu hummed and remembered the last fight of the qualifiers.
"Yes, him or rather her. She's actually a girl..."
Shen Yu raised his hand to stop Ning Xi as a wry smile appeared on his face. He pursed his lips and said.
"That she you speak of is probably downstairs currently."
They were currently staying the Lan Inn owned by Lan Ming herself and because of that, he had kept his senses all around to keep an eye on everything.
And just a few seconds ago, he had sensed Bai Li talking with the receptionist, but he was in a disguise so no one really recognised him aside from Shen Yu.
And he didn't need to hear more of Ning Xi's words as now that he focused on him...her, he could see her true gender.
"Oh yeah! I did tell her to come here after getting freshed up. I thought it would be better if we discuss the matter of Seven Stars Sect with her present here."
Ning Xi then scratched her cheeks as she flashed a cheeky smile at Shen Yu.
"Hehe, I'm sorry, but I didn't take the decision alone. Yue was also with me."
Shen Yu rolled his eyes and gestured her to go.
"Bring her here because at this rate she would be kicked out of the Inn."
