"The difficulties ahead are numerous, and the entire world is hunting me down. It's hard to ensure my identity won't be exposed, I'm afraid..."
Shi Xiaole had decided to go, but still seemed hesitant.
Han Yanfa chuckled with a sleazy look, "Hall Master Shi, the Sect Leader has said that if you complete this mission, the Saintess will be promised to you as a bride."
"I'm not interested in the fairer sex."
Remembering the temptation exuding from Xi Xianglei's very bones, and her proud disdain at considering all men beneath her, Shi Xiaole felt a strange stirring in his heart and quickly suppressed that emotion.
Han Yanfa eyed him with suspicion from left to right, then laughed again, "The Sect Leader also said, once Hall Master Shi is successful, you will be promoted to the fifth Protector, with the authority to command any of the sect's twenty sub-halls at will, acting first and reporting later."
These words did, in fact, move Shi Xiaole.
