"Oy Jian Shen! Speak with a little more respect! She's the Sect Mistress!"
Ignoring Mei Xing who was trying to anxiously make him correct himself, Jian Shen continued looking straight at Yin Fan.
Chuckling and waving her hand towards Mei Xing, Yin Fan said, "It's fine little Xing, I don't mind."
Turning back towards Jian Shen, Yin Fan said, "The weaker Empire... Is there a reason behind wanting to choose it?"
Shaking his head, Jian Shen said, "If the Empire I support is the weaker one, the fights I participate in are obviously going to be harder."
Continuing to look at Jian Shen, with her eyes a little widened in surprise, Yin Fan clapped her hands a little.
"Nicely said. The weaker Empire is the Yueliang Empire."
Along with Yin Fan, the other women inside the room also had infatuated expressions in their face as they looked towards Jian Shen.
The men, on the other hand, were cursing him on the inside, and regretting for not having said something so cool first.
"Make sure to inform me when you are ready to leave Jian Shen. I will be coming with you."
It wasn't just Jian Shen who was surprised by this, but everyone including Yuan Wencheng was shocked.
"Don't be stupid, Yin Fan. Have you forgotten what I've said about us not taking part in the war? If the other Sects Masters learn about it, it wouldn't be go.. "
Interrupting Wencheng, Yin Fan said, "Calm down, Wencheng. I never said I was going to take part in the war. I'm only going to protect Jian Shen from the shadows."
"It's not like the other Sect Masters aren't doing the same anyway."
"Protect me, why?"
Not at all caught off guard by Jian Shen's sudden question, Yin Fan said, "Of course I need to protect you. You are the rising talent of our Great Sect of Lust, and there's no way I can let you get hurt."
Despite not wanting to, Wencheng also nodded his head and agreed with Yin Fan.
Although he hated Jian Shen for what he did to Wang Qiu, Wencheng as the Sect Master of Great Sect of Lust knew how important a talent like Jian Shen was for their sect.
Especially, after he learnt that Jian Shen was about to reach the Dharma Realm even before he turned 20!
"Fine. But don't forget that you're only going to protect him. Don't get into any stupid fights with the other Sect Leaders, or kill those who are attacking Jian Shen. You are only going to protect him!"
Rolling her eyes at how many times Wencheng was repeating the same warning, Yin Fan ignored him and looked towards Jian Shen who looked like he wanted to reject her but was unable to find a proper reason to justify himself.
"As for the rest of you, choose the Empire you want to support fast, and get moving. It's best if you meet your chosen sides Emperor before the war starts."
Nodding their heads the Core Disciples looked like they wanted to say something, or ask some questions, but before they could, Jian Shen got up and left.
Along with him, the various female disciples who had dreamy looks also left while saying that they were going to join the Yueliang Empire as well.
Listening to those words, the male disciples and sighed and all chose to join the Yueliang Empire as well.
This wasn't because they wanted their whole sect to support a single Empire, or anything like that.
Instead, the male disciples knew, that regardless of what happened after they joined the opposing Taiyang Empire, the female disciples wouldn't let them even touch them after the war was over, much less dual cultivate.
Thus, with a single decision of Jian Shen's, all Core Disciples of the Great Sect of Lust chose to support the weaker Yueliang Empire.
...
Going back to his courtyard, Jian Shen told the women who were waiting for him inside it, that he was going to leave, and not come back until the war was over.
Unexpectedly, even though it was possible for the was to last almost a year due to the fact that the opposing sides were Empires, the women said that they were going to wait for, and not leave.
This might have had a little to do with how their gains in dual cultivation were better when they were with Jian Shen, instead of the other disciples.
But, the most important reason, however, was how Jian Shen treated them.
He was probably the only Core Disciple who didn't treat them like animals that were only good to have sex with.
Not saying anything since the women seemed to have made a decision already, Jian Shen went to his room and summoned the Yaomei sisters out of the World Crest.
In the past year, the sisters had already built themselves a comfy house inside the World Crest, which Jian Shen would visit every once in a while to enjoy a long massage which would allow him to relax.
But, he still hadn't had sex with them, since they were saving their virginity until they reached the Dharma Realm, after which they didn't need it to cultivate anymore.
"I'm leaving the Sect to support the Yueliang Empire in its war against the Taiyang Empire. So, it might be a long time before I visit you inside the World Crest. What do you plan on doing until then?"
Not surprised by the two Empires going to war, Fang said, "Huh, they're finally going to war. It happened sooner than I expected."
Hua, on the other hand, spoke about the topic Jian Shen asked them about.
"We're going to cultivate inside the World Crest, the quality and concentration of Qi inside there is much higher than here."
Nodding his head, Jian Shen sent them back inside and once again left his courtyard.
