Seeing Yu Ling's surrender and her trembling expression, the man in the straw hat finally lost his murderous intent.
Hmm... This young master was able to block my killing moves multiple times, so his martial arts skills are not bad. Moreover, he is timid and cowardly, and he seems easy to control. I can consider taking him into my collection.
Having exhausted his strength, he threw the person in his arms back to the ground with a "thud," and Yu Ling was also thrown onto her bottom with a "thud," looking completely bewildered.
The man in the straw hat sheathed his sword. For some reason, the more he looked at Yu Ling's silly expression, the more a smile crept into his heart. His voice was deep and resonant, slightly hoarse as he said:
"Since you are so eager to request it, then this Pavilion Master will grant your wish..."
Tsk, so this man in the straw hat is actually the infamous leader of the Blood Shadow Pavilion. No wonder he was able to suppress me so easily.
But why is he, a leader of a rebel group, not focused on opposing the emperor, but instead getting involved in the martial arts world?
Thinking it over, Yu Ling quickly got up from the ground, dusted off the dirt that had gotten on her during the fight, straightened her clothes, and regained her image as a handsome young man. She accepted her situation of escaping one danger only to fall into another.
Then came another string of free flattery, spoken without a second thought.
"Greetings, Sect Leader! Seeing your elegant demeanor, handsome appearance, and refined manners, coupled with your superb martial arts skills, I knew your identity must be extraordinary. It turns out you are the Sect Leader in person! I am truly honored! From now on, I will follow you, Sect Leader!"
Um?
I haven't even shown my face, so how did you figure out I'm handsome?
"Stop trying to talk your way out of this."
Hearing this string of flattering words without even taking a breath, the man in the straw hat merely glanced at Yu Ling sideways.
Seeing the other person's handsome face beaming with a fawning smile, he couldn't bear to look at him, so he turned his head and sneered, saying:
“My organization is not short of manpower now, so you don’t need to report back to headquarters. What I do need is a personal attendant…”
Yu Ling thought to herself, "Oh, what do you mean by 'needing a personal attendant'? You just want me to be your lackey, why don't you just say so!"
It is said that all of this man's men die quickly. I wonder what evil scheme this wicked scoundrel has come up with to keep me by his side so he can easily toy with me.
Fearless, I'll find a chance to run away!
"Alas! Now I am a defeated opponent of the Pavilion Master, a caged bird, a prisoner. I will do whatever you ask me to do."
As long as the other party dares not kill her, Yu Ling will become incredibly arrogant, and her main trait is shamelessness.
The man in the straw hat was shocked by the man's nonchalant attitude. This guy looked handsome and clever, but was he really a simpleton with no emotional intelligence?!
He's definitely a rich kid; his thought process is just so peculiar, we don't understand him.
"...Ha, so you think you can just do whatever I tell you to do? If you're this capricious, you shouldn't be a servant at all... Well then, let me introduce myself, Chi Yue, your new master."
The key words are "new master".
According to the rules, anyone who addresses another person as "master" becomes their slave.
His status plummeted; he went from being a subordinate to a servant in an instant. Anyone with dignity would find this treatment unbearable.
Pavilion Master Chi Yue was no longer in a hurry to steal the secret manual.
I just wanted to see where Yu Ling's bottom line really was.
Upon hearing this, Yu Ling indeed became angry.
What?! A new master?!
Do you expect me, the dignified leader of the religion, to be your slave and servile?
Oh man, you've crossed my line!
Um……
That must mean I set my bottom line too high.
I should lower my standards a bit more!
After a short while, Yu Ling replied:
"Mo Feiyan greets His Majesty."
The handsome young man exuded a dashing and unrestrained air, his eyebrows were like painted ink, and his tone was dignified. He clasped his hands together in front of his chest, performing the standard courtly bow to a superior.
The wind began to blow, and his clothes fluttered, adding a touch of unrestrained freedom to his movements.
The leader of a demonic sect actually bowed his head to someone of equal status!
At this moment, anyone who knew Yu Ling's identity would feel that their eyes were hallucinating.
But Yu Ling is just an innocent, weak, pitiful, and helpless tree spirit. What does she need human dignity for?
If you dare to bring it up, he dares to do it.
It's just a simple bow; it doesn't hurt or itch.
Yu Ling's outrageous actions shattered Chi Yue's worldview. This person is really spineless, she doesn't even show any resistance, and her attitude is so humble!
but……
He likes it!!!
With mixed feelings, Chi Yue looked at Yu Ling, who was bowing respectfully to him, and completely suppressed his last bit of murderous intent.
However, Chi Yue still had doubts in his heart, and he finally began to consider the incongruity of Yu Ling.
How could such a brainless young master appear here after the purging of the demonic sect? His martial arts skills are top-notch, so what is his background?
Chi Yue no longer intended to search for any secret manuals; his curiosity was entirely focused on Yu Ling. He helped her up, accepted her bow respectfully, and asked:
"So you're here to freeload too? Do you still remember the Demonic Sect's plans?"
With the Demonic Sect fallen, everyone wants to take a swipe at it. The righteous path of the martial world reaped the first wave of benefits, and Fang Yuan searched for the second wave. So, the leader of the Blood Shadow Pavilion is here to steal our land?
Yu Ling reached into her bosom and pulled out two rare sword manuals that she had taken from a hidden compartment by the original owner's bedside. She then launched into a fluent, nonsensical rant:
"Yes, could it be that Master also... Oh dear, what a coincidence! But I've already ransacked the entire Demonic Sect. All the valuables have been swept away. If I hadn't accidentally triggered the mechanism in the sect leader's study, I wouldn't have found these two ancient books. I'll just offer them to Master as a token of my appreciation! There's really nothing left inside. Let's hurry up and leave. I'm still waiting for dinner."
The original owner was besieged for a whole day, and he had fought three battles in less than a night since he transmigrated. He even managed to escape from the protagonist by playing a trick on him. Exhausted both physically and mentally, Yu Ling really wanted to rest!
Chi Yue took the two rare books that looked to be of great importance, and seemed to understand something.
This kid calls me "master" so affectionately.
But don't think that just because you're speaking so seriously, I can't tell you're making up lies!
The Demonic Cult is incredibly vast, and must have many secret rooms and passages. How could you have explored it all in such a short time?
Perhaps realizing her fabricated excuse was too lame, Yu Ling instead took the initiative to approach the Blood Shadow Pavilion Master, who exuded an aura of unapproachability, and shamelessly leaned closer:
"Master, I'm not lying to you, really. There's still a long-time nemesis of mine, lurking somewhere within the Demonic Sect, watching me like a hawk. That person is of high status, skilled in martial arts, and has many friends. We can't defeat him. Master, I beg you, let's go!"
"I vaguely remember that we had only known each other for less than half an hour."
More than half of them were still fighting.
You're so familiar with this, it's hard for me to be mean to you!
Chi Yue carefully accepted the sword technique presented by her new underling, her bamboo hat concealing the ever-upturning curve of her lips, while her eyes gleamed with a playful and teasing light.
"Alright, then let's... go now..."
