Inheriting A Divine Cultivation Clan At The Start, All My Juniors Are Empresses-Chapter 760 - 265: Zong Qingkuang! Zong Qianqun! _5
Smart!
Is this what a monster living for nearly two thousand years is like? Compared to her, Yuluo is just a naive little girl. She stumbled into the Ascension Gate without any vigilance at all. It seems she really has good luck, a natural good fortune, otherwise she would have been done for if she encountered a swindler.
What the Peach Pavilion Master said is also true; no one can predict these things. The human heart is deceitful, with hidden motives. How could you expect me to believe whatever you say? Before tonight, our lives have never intersected; we are still strangers. This kind of anxiety is unnecessary.
"Understood."
"Alright."
"I can accept your proposal."
Yuchi asked three questions in a row, "So what should I do for you to trust me, so that you would be willing to visit my sect?"
What should you do... The Peach Pavilion Master lowered her brows in thought for a while. Her flawless face appeared slightly troubled. What should Yuchi do to prove himself? This... It seems there is nothing specific to prove. But something must be there; otherwise, these two thousand years would have been lived in vain.
After pondering, she came up with this: "Stay by my side and appear as my fiancé. If you can survive for a month, I'll consent to visit your sect. Otherwise, we should part ways, as it seems we have little fate, and everything has been a misunderstanding."
Oh, damn... Yuchi: "You want me dead."
With a bit of mischief, the Peach Pavilion Master said:
"No, I don't."
"Since you wish to have me, I don't require Divine Weapons from you, nor gold and silver treasures. All I need is for you to protect me."
"After all, the longer I live, the more I lack a sense of security, which I can't provide for myself anymore. If you can survive a month, I'll go with you. In the future, I might even cultivate feelings with you, and it's possible to become your disciple and help you manage the sect."
Yuchi: I'm screwed.
The Peach Pavilion Master is simply exaggerating. If I become her so-called fiancé, the consequences would be terrifying. Once this news spreads, you can't imagine how many red-eyed men would come for me— it would literally be murderous, straight to the point!
If I'm not careful, I'll be plunged into immense danger!
But if I don't agree to her terms, it means we're not meant to be, and that's a big loss... I can't just ignore a disciple's hidden task that I've triggered. If I don't accept it, it would be a huge loss. With the Peach Pavilion Master in the sect, it would greatly enhance my cultivation and the Ascension Gate's prestige, making it a more formidable entity.
She truly is a woman who can lend substantial aid.
What to choose? 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
Quick!
What to choose?
What else can I choose... Yuchi calmly responded: "It's a deal."
"You agreed?"
The Peach Pavilion Master was instantly shocked, truly surprised. She knows Yuchi is a smart person, and smart people can be annoying as they often weigh things carefully. They aren't usually impulsive, yet he agreed so readily?
"Agreed," Yuchi said.
He had already prepared for the worst. If something completely irresistible happens, he'll just make a run for it. He'll consider the hidden task a failure, and he'll be too embarrassed to step into Tiesi City again or face the Peach Pavilion Master. The task's failure would mean not even friends could be made.
But he still needed to take a chance. What if... what if he survived? Wouldn't he have a wife... no, a disciple for nothing?
"Very well, then it's a deal. You'll accompany me back to Tiesi City soon and, for a month, you may not leave. You must stay by my side without delay. I'll spread the news immediately. If you manage to protect me, I will agree to your terms!"
Tears streamed down Yuchi's face: "For the beauty, I'll defy the world. Your heart is so ruthless."
The Peach Pavilion Master smiled gently, her face breathtakingly beautiful:
"If you win me over, you won't be disappointed. Otherwise, do you think there are no male cultivators who interested me in nearly two thousand years? They all claimed they liked me and would give up everything for me, but it was just talk. Would they really dare to defy the world for me?"
"Now that you've agreed, I don't know if you're brave or foolish. I also don't know if you truly have the ability to resolve grievances. All this will be revealed over the next month."
"And if you die, I can only say I'm sorry. After all, it's not that I need to join your sect, but you need me. You can't expect to gain anything with just words, as I despise such men. I even harbor some resentment towards such matters."
"I hope you understand."
"Hehe."
