Little did the Mist Valley sect master know that this would be the last time he would ever see and hear of Yu Jing.
At this moment, Yu Jing had already left the sect ruin. Still, he ran as far as possible, as he couldn't find safety in his heart by staying near the sect ruin.
After arriving before a giant lake in the middle of the forest, Yu Jing finally sat down in relief and let go of Lily.
"Finally, the event is done." Yu Jing muttered with a satisfied smile on his face.
Just as Yu Jing expected, he was easily able to complete the event, getting on the Mist Valley sect master's good side. Except for the last one, which was spreading the inheritance he just got.
Although he wanted to rack up his brain on how to spread this inheritance, he still had something he had to finish.
Looking at Lily, Yu Jing said it with a smirk. "Tell me, what should I do with you now?"
Clutching her chest, Lilu uttered it in fear. "Please don't! I can do anything for you, but please do not defile my body."
Puth!
Spitting to the side, Yu Jing said it with disgust. "You think too highly of yourself. Instead, I do not want to defile my body by having any interaction with you. You lying slut!"
Lily froze, not expecting to get insulted like that. She swears she has never seen a weird man like Yu Jing.
While Lily was frozen in thought, Yu Jing was pondering what he should do with her. 'No matter what I think of, ultimately I can't let her go. The entire Devil's Cave might start to pursue me, and that would be so tiring. Killing her in such a remote place would be the best outcome, but letting this bitch die so easily makes my heart a bit unwilling. I want her to suffer a bit.'
At that moment, he remembered the last task of the event.
'Maybe I can use her sect as a scapegoat. Letting everyone know that they have an Emperor-Grade technique and die in the hands of others. I am sure no one can resist the temptation of an Emperor-Grade technique. Yet there is one problem. How to make everyone believe that they have Emperor Grade Technique.'
'Well, forget it. Let's go to the Devil's Cave sect first. I only have six days.' Yu Jing directly asked Lily. "Hey, take me to your sect."
"What do you want to do?" Lily asked cautiously.
"I just want to find a safe place to rest. I made many enemies inside the sect ruin." Yu Jing said it with a straight face.
"But don't you have a powerful master now? Why don't you just stay by his side?" Feeling Yu Jing's reason a bit, Lily questioned.
'Do you think I am scared of those strangers in the sect ruin? I can handle them all by myself. Also, I want to stay away from that guy as far as possible.' Yu Jing wanted to shout out loud, hearing Lily being skeptical of him instantly. But to go to her sect, he has to convince her. "Are you belittling my master and me? Why would I want the master's help, and why would the master help me to clean up these lowly cultivators? You just listen to what I say. You are fortunate that I am keeping you alive."
Lily pondered silently, thinking of the pros and cons. After some careful thought, she decided to let him into her sect. She felt this was her chance to take revenge on this guy. 'Just wait. After you enter my sect, my father will capture you and take everything that the senior gave you.'
Smirking silently in her heart, Lily agreed to Yu Jing's request.
Yu Jing cut off the rope that tied Lily's hands. Then he grabbed her by the waist and let her hang on his arm.
"Hey, what are you doing? Don't you know how to treat a woman?"
"You shut the hell up! You useless woman who can't even cultivate is already burdening me to carry you. So as my captive, just show me the way."
After they bickered for a while, Lily finally decided to give up as she couldn't compete with Yu Jing's mouth.
…
'Okay, it was the right choice to leave immediately for the Devil's Cave sect.' Yu Jing sighed in relief after seeing a huge gate surrounded by towering trees. On the gate signboard, it was written: Devil's Cave.
It took them one and a half days to arrive before Devil's Cave sect. The Devil's Cave sect was situated near a small town. It took them a full twelve-minute walk from the town to arrive here. It was late at night, so there was no one near the sect, not even a begger.
Yu Jing put on a dark cloak and stood behind Lily. "Remember what I told you. I am your personal guard now. Don't let anyone know who I am."
"I promise." Lily nodded her head without retorting.
As Lily and Yu Jing came closer to the gate, they were stopped by the guard. "Stop. Tell me who you are and what your purpose is."
Lily was about to answer, but the other guard stopped her. He bowed to Lily and spoke respectfully. "I am sorry, Miss Lily. He is new here, so he didn't know your identity. I hope you can forget him and me."
"No, it's okay. Instead, I am happy to know that the security of the sect is not loose."
"Thank you, miss."
Afterwards, they opened the gate, letting Lily and Yu Jing go in.
When there was no one left, the guard who questioned Lily finally asked his companion.
"Are you sure she is the daughter of the sect leader?"
"Yes, I have seen her many times. And no Spiritual Qi being in her made me certain she is the daughter of the sect leader. She has been on a mission for two years. So you haven't seen her."
"Oh, is that so? But why did she return all of a sudden?'
"Her return means only one thing. The sect master's plan is about to see its end."
