Chapter 52 You Can’t Be Serious, Can You?

'That was so terrifying…' Victor wiped away a cold sweat, until a few moments ago he thought he was about to die, when suddenly the sect master changed her mind and decided to keep him alive.

As he stood up, he felt the stare of a predator that watched its prey, his body reflexively shuddered and he cautiously looked up to see the sect master staring at him.

Now she was no longer behind the curtain but stood next to him, looking at her appearance Victor swallowed hard.

She had long black hair that seemed to shine slightly, her blue eyes were deep, giving an extraordinary appearance, her rosy cheeks and pearly white teeth were actually very sweet and gentle despite her cold expression.

Her figure was hidden under her robe but even so, it was impossible to hide her lush body shape, simply beautiful Xue Yan and his description truly couldn't do her justice. Honestly, she was the most beautiful woman Victor had ever seen throughout his life, not even Mikena, Chu Yuechan or Su Rong could compare to her.

But looking at her appearance Victor shook his head several times trying to put her out of his mind, despite her beautiful exterior he clearly knew who she was.

The bloodthirsty killer who almost took his life.

"Thank you, sect master, for not killing me. I understand that I am too presumptuous, but in the future I will try not to be seen by you again." - Speaking these words, Victor folded his hands and said each word quite calmly, as if everything that happened before was a dream.

Of course, these words were absolutely true. He was impatient to leave not only this place but also the Temple of the Dark Moon as soon as possible, the fear of being killed by the sect master was still quite palpable.

At this moment, as Victor was burning with the desire to leave the place, Xue Yan suddenly asked:

"You just said you were willing to give up everything, even reincarnation, for me, is that true?"

The fingers on his right hand suddenly clenched and because his hands were hidden behind his back, Xue Yan didn't notice anything. Victor, swallowed heavily once more.

"Yes, for the sake of the sect master I am willing to go through fire and water. For the sake of the woman I love, I am willing to give up everything!"

'Now she has to let me go alive, right?' In his mind he panicked a little, instead of letting him go she asked strange questions, to which he answered in a systematic way.

At that moment he suddenly heard a sound he did not expect to hear in such a situation.

Ding!

[Xue Yan her attitude towards you: (Attitude: Neither a friend nor an enemy.) Gained 100 points]

Ding!

[Xue Yan her attitude towards you: (Attitude: Trusted Friend.) Gained 150 points]

Ding!

[Xue Yan her attitude towards you: (Attitude: Close person.) Gained 200 points]

'What the hell!?' Victor was stunned by the system's messages. The sect master was the last person he ever thought would hold such an attitude towards him.

'A close person?' Reading this message, Victor's eyebrows furrowed as he sensed that something was wrong. At first she was trying to kill him, but now she was, according to the system, treating him like a loved one, at that moment Victor doubted about the system, whether she had even calculated it correctly.

And when he lifted his head once again he suddenly froze.

If before Xue Yan had a cold and aloof expression, now it quickly changed to a rather strange but gentle expression, her eyes seemed to glisten slightly while her cheeks were slightly flushed it was unknown what she was thinking about.

At this point Victor was frankly frightened.

'It's not like she's replied to my confession, right?' It would be a disaster if the sect master wanted to form a relationship with him as a man and a woman. At that thought alone, Victor's mind went into chaos.

With an attitude like her it was like with a double-edged sword, she could kill him at any given moment. He got out of the wolf's den only to jump into the lion's jaws. Unknowingly, Victor backed up a few steps.

If the relationship with Mikena was built not only on trust but also on the fact that he was stronger than her and could control her as he pleased, the sect master was impossible for him to control. That was the only reason he ran away from Su Rong, because she gave him a sense of unprecedented danger.

And that same feeling was screaming danger now, he was afraid that if the sect master really wanted him to be her man, it would only take a short time before she wanted to murder him again.

'Also Mikena…' Victor groaned, remembering that the sect master was unaware of his true relationship with Mikena, and if she found out the truth...

He would be under the knife again.

Xue Yan was silent for a long time before snorting:

"How reckless." - But these words seemed to be filled with less coldness than before.

Victor breathed a sigh of relief, as it turned out he was worried for nothing.

"Sect Master, can I go back to Tangxiang City now to be selected for some other sect?" - Victor cautiously asked, deliberately emphasizing the word "other," trying to prove that he would no longer bother her.

Of course, now even if he was offered the position of a holy son he would not hesitate to refuse, being in a sect where the master is Xue Yan was plainly a suicide for him, his plan was not only not to bother her ever again, but better not to meet again, at least until he was strong enough so she would have to reckon with his opinion.

'Now she must be glad,' thought Victor, thinking that the system messages were a mistake.

"Y-You... what kind of nonsense are you talking about!" - Xue Yan shouted exasperatedly.

After these words, the face of the sect master took on a crimson hue.

"After all the things you said, you want to leave?"

'Yes…' Victor wanted to answer, but he kept silent, before the atmosphere was filled with cold and permeated with death, now there was a feeling of unease, which made Victor feel out of place.

The sect master was honestly strange and Victor tensed up remembering the message of the system.

"Sect master, you don't want to accept my confession, do you?" - Victor asked incredulously, hoping not, or else it would be a disaster.
