"Alright, I admit that I blew up the Xuanming Sect's mine. Please keep it a secret, Your Highness!" Gao Yan said somewhat helplessly.
Previously, the Xuanming Sect had only suspected him, yet they made such a big fuss about it.
If we really know it was him who did it.
It's likely that a powerful being who has reached the Dao level will disregard the unspoken rules and try to eliminate him.
After all, he caused the Xuanming Sect to lose hundreds of billions of spirit stones.
This is no small amount.
"If you want me to keep this a secret, you have to agree to one condition!" Suddenly, Xiahou Meng revealed a sly smile.
"What are the conditions?"
Gao Yan asked.
“Those four families will definitely try to target me in the future. If they have any schemes to deal with me, you have to inform me!” Xiahou Meng said in a deep voice.
Gao Yan said in a deep voice, "There's no need for conspiracies or tricks. We're all from the same sect, so even if there's a fight, it should be fair and square!"
"I really don't know how you cultivated to this level, to have such naive ideas!" Xiahou Meng looked at Gao Yan with disdain: "But that's true, you're still young and haven't experienced much, so you probably haven't seen some despicable methods!"
"Could it be that His Highness has seen him before?"
Gao Yan asked out of curiosity.
"Of course!" Xiahou Meng said proudly, "You've heard about the feud between our Nine Saints Sect and the Xuanming Sect, haven't you?"
"I've heard of it!"
Gao Yan nodded: "More than three thousand years ago, there was a genius who reached the Nascent Soul Realm at the age of over a hundred. He was abducted by the Holy Maiden of the Xuanming Sect, which greatly angered our Holy Ancestor!"
"Then why do you think the other party would betray us?" Xiahou Meng asked.
"Isn't he obsessed with the Holy Maiden of the Xuanming Sect?" Gao Yan said.
Do you think it's possible?
Xiahou Meng let out a disdainful sneer: "The other party is not only the disciple of a certain Saint Realm Ancestor, but also the other Saint Realm Ancestors treat him differently and show him great favor. His future is very bright. Some Saint Realm Ancestors even have the idea of breaking the rules and directly appointing him as the sect leader. Under such circumstances, do you think he would abandon his promising future and betray the Nine Saints Sect?"
“Yes, I definitely wouldn’t do that. I’d just marry the Holy Maiden of the Xuanming Sect!” Gao Yan agreed.
"You've got some nerve, actually wanting to marry the Holy Maiden!"
Xiahou Meng said jokingly.
“Thinking about it won’t break the law!” Gao Yan said, looking at Xiahou Meng.
"What are you looking at? If you look again, I'll gouge your eyes out!" Xiahou Meng threatened fiercely.
"Then I won't watch!"
Gao Yan turned his head: "Your Highness, please continue!"
"Hmph!" Xiahou Meng snorted and continued, "The sect leader of the Nine Saints Sect is almost always rotated among our five major factions. If the Saint Realm Ancestor breaks a rule, can the rule of changing sect leaders every five thousand years also be broken?"
Upon hearing this, Gao Yan immediately understood and said, "In other words, that person threatened the status of the five major factions, and then the five major factions joined forces to plot against him, leading to his betrayal!"
At this point, he suddenly revealed a strange expression: "Aren't the five major factions afraid that the Saint Realm Ancestors will be furious if they find out about the scheme against that person?"
"Hehe!" Xiahou Meng smiled meaningfully: "The Saint Realm Ancestor naturally knows, but the ancestors of our five major factions are also their personal disciples."
Besides, the five of us schemed against him, but we didn't take his life or even destroy his cultivation. Moreover, he chose to defect to the Xuanming Sect himself.
Most importantly, the Holy Realm Ancestors had high hopes for him, but he was easily outmaneuvered by our five families, which disappointed the Holy Realm Ancestors!
"I see!"
Gao Yan suddenly realized that someone who was easily manipulated could not hold the position of sect leader.
Although the five major factions schemed against their own people, they did so with a degree of restraint and did not cross the bottom line of the Holy Ancestor. Therefore, the Holy Ancestor did not hold a grudge against the five major factions!
"Your Highness, how did you scheme against that person?" Gao Yan asked curiously.
"This is a top secret of our five families, how could we easily tell you!"
A hint of mockery appeared on Xiahou Meng's stunningly beautiful face.
"Holy crap!"
He speaks loudly and curses in secret, he only says half of what he means, and he'll be left without a spouse in his old age!
"Of course, if you're willing to tip me off, I can tell you this secret!" Xiahou Meng said with a smile.
"Your Highness, you've gone too far! You're asking me to betray my master! My master has been incredibly good to me. If you want me to betray her, you'll have to pay extra!"
Seeing Gao Yan, who had been speaking righteously, now reveal a mercenary expression, Xiahou Meng was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Pfft, you really are your master's good disciple!"
"Your Highness, please don't misunderstand. I only tip you off when it comes to your schemes; I won't do it for anything else!" Gao Yan said with a serious expression.
"What if I pay more?"
"This little wench, she's just learning and trying to use it!" Gao Yan cursed inwardly. "Alright, Your Highness, tell me, what do you plan to use to bribe me?"
This young woman is considered one of his pre-arranged wives. If others plot against her, Gao Yan will naturally not stand idly by. However, this woman is a bit hard to discipline.
If it weren't for the fact that I can't reveal my true cultivation level right now, I would definitely give her a good spanking.
What do you want?
Xiahou Meng also regained her seriousness.
"Spirit Stones!"
Xiahou Meng looked at Gao Yan with confusion: "What do you need so many spirit stones for?"
She had traded with Gao Yan several times, and she was certain that this guy had far more spirit stones than she did. She really didn't understand why he needed so many spirit stones.
Gao Yan said with a grin, "Your Highness, have you ever tried sleeping on a spirit stone mountain? If not, I suggest you give it a try!"
