Chapter 60: Talk with Ning Xi
However, the sight of Lan Ming covered in blood from head to toe was something he hoped he would never again. In fact, he was already making plans to keep her wives safe at all cost.
Even the necklace plan was good, however it wasn\'t that effective. There were only two ways in it in which his consciousness would materialize.
The first one was obviously when Lan Ming or any of his wives called for his help. And second one was if Lan Ming was dying. Since he didn\'t want to hinder their progress, he had kept the requirement limited to death.
After all, getting injured in Cultivation world was way too common and if he helped everytime they were injured, their growth would stop and nobody would be happy with that.
However, the plan was rather ineffective as Lan Ming had forgotten to call him and since she wasn\'t in any mortal danger untill the last attack, his consciousness wasn\'t activated.
He was now trying to find a way to solve this problem because he never wanted to go through something like that ever again. He cleary remembered the feeling of losing Lan Ming he had felt back then and it was the worst thing he had experienced. And it was coming from a person who had suffered a lot.
He looked at the sun and then at his partner who had also became his drinking partner, Ning Xi. She didn\'t say a single word the whole time they sat there as if she didn\'t care what Shen Yu was going through.
However, Shen Yu viewed it as differently. He had wanted some silent company and Ning Xi understood that and did that. He couldn\'t help but smile as he realised how great partners he had. They hadn\'t spent much time together but still understood each other.
"Thanks for the drink, Xi."
"No problem at all. So, care to tell me what happened? I only saw Lan Ming and Song Junwan in their... injured state. They\'re currently in Yue\'s quarters. Still, I don\'t understand what happened to send even Song Junwan in such state?"
Ning Xi asked. She had been quite surprised when Lan Ming and Song Junwan had appeared suddenly with ten other young women. As Shen Yu had said, Ying Yue had already prepared everything for them and they were quickly taken care of. Xiao Lan and Ying Yue didn\'t Song Junwan but Ning Xi knew. And she knew her personally as they were quite close.
That\'s why she was shocked to see her friend in such state and demaned answers. Unfortunately, nobody was in the mood to talk so she was forced to come here and drink in library, sadly she wasn\'t granted access with wine so she simply sat on the stairs.
Shen Yu sighed and began recounting that had happened with the Wind Flower Sect. The more Ning Xi heard, the more shocked and angry she became. Song Junwan was her friend and although not very close, she still treasured their friendship. Not to mention, she was close with the Wind Flower Sect due to being the head of Branch of Heavenly Sect Federation.
As every thing settled in her mind, rage filled her being as she snorted in anger, "Hmph! That old bones really had some guts to actually do this to her. Did he really forgot that I was standing beside her? Unfortunately, you killed him otherwise I would have taught him a lesson he wouldn\'t even forget in his next life."
\'Well, he wouldn\'t forget me also. But wait! His soul is destroyed so he won\'t reincarnate.\'
Of course, Shen Yu wasn\'t going to tell about his deeds on Wind Flower Sect to his wives. He didn\'t want them to think that he was a bloodthirsty sadistic bastard, after all.
Ning Xi shook her head in regret and asked.
"So, did you really destroy the whole Sect?"
"Yeah, would that cause any problems?"
"It would for sure. Wind Flower Sect was a Tier 2 sect, one of the only 50 in whole Qing Empire. And you should know how powerful Tier 2 sects are. Even the Empire would have to declare all out war if they wanted to destroy whole Tier 2 Sect, which you just did so casually. It would surely attract attention from everyone and since you\'ve decided to take the last members of Wind Flower Sect, you would also be targeted."
Shen Yu drank a mouthful of wine and said.
"Well, then, let them come. We\'ll see."
"Meh, you don\'t need to worry so much. I\'m pretty sure that the Heavenly Sect Federation would make me the in charge of this mission which would be held for investigation this whole thing. And if that happened, you\'re safe from eyes of the federation, however the same can\'t be said for others. You\'ll surely attract a lot of attention and trouble. I just hope you don\'t kill all by yourself and give me some fun too."
Ning Xi first warned Shen Yu and then laughed. Shen Yu patted her head, which she didn\'t resist and said.
"Thanks for the help. Also, you\'re going to continue staying in the federation? I thought you have decided to be in my Sect."
Ning Xi shrugged and answered.
"I was going to quit it but with this current issue, it\'s better if I\'m there. Don\'t worry, I\'ll still be your wife and the member of this sect. No way, I\'m backing down before pinning you on my bed."
"Guess you\'ll never back down than. Anyways, let\'s go and see others."
Shen Yu snorted and stood up, looking into distance at the Ying Yue\'s room.
