Chapter 216: You Must Be Alright
"Elder Yan! Hahaha! Your Enforcement Hall has truly achieved a remarkable feat this time!"
"Perhaps this time, in quelling the turmoil of the Blood Lotus Sect, the Enforcement Hall deserves the greatest credit."
As the gathering dispersed, an Elder came up with a beaming smile to offer his congratulations.
Yan Xiaoru, however, just gave him a cold look and responded indifferently with a "Hmm", then directly walked away.
Such an indifferent and proud demeanor was very much in Yan Xiaoru’s style.
The Elders didn’t take it to heart.
Due to the intelligence sent by Li Muyang and the recent days of war, all the Elders of the Demon Sect had been quite busy.
Everyone had their own matters to attend to, and soon they also left one after another.
After the dispersal, Yan Xiaoru, with an expressionless face, ascended into the sky and flew away from the largest Flying Boat in the night sky.
She moved lightly on her lotus steps, stepping on ripples in the void, advancing a hundred meters with each step.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Soon, Yan Xiaoru returned to her own Flying Boat.
The Maids stood respectfully on the deck, but Yan Xiaoru directly entered the cabin without paying attention to anyone.
Upon entering the cabin, what appeared before her was a lake, and on a small island in the distance were pavilions and towers, resembling a paradise.
Stepping into this miniature sanctuary, Yan Xiaoru was surrounded by no other sights.
Only then did her icy and proud expression dissipate.
In the sanctuary, under the dim light of floating yellow lanterns, the woman bit her lip, and her right hand hanging by her side clenched into a fist.
With force, she threw a punch, directly shattering the railing by the lakeside.
"You rascal!"
Yan Xiaoru muttered with clenched lips, "I told you I could protect you if you came back, yet you still went... Are you deliberately provoking me?"
Her voice carried a deep melancholy.
However, amid the gentle breeze by the lake, there was silence for a long while.
The daring young man she complained about couldn’t hear her voice.
Everything was already decided, even if she felt regret and sorrow, nothing could be changed.
By the lakeside, a mournful lament of the woman echoed.
"...You mustn’t let anything happen to you."
...
Inside the sanctuary of the Flying Boat, Yan Xiaoru looked melancholic and anxious.
Li Muyang thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Regarding the ultimate doctrine of our sect, I will not comment."
"But in my view, the conflict between the head of Liehai Hall and the head of Jade Wave Hall has nothing to do with the so-called beliefs or doctrines," he continued.
"The two of them simply do not see eye to eye."
Li Muyang mercilessly clarified this matter.
The two heads clearly disliked each other, harboring mutual grievances which led to conflict.
This kind of gang-like brawl, and they dare claim it under grand beliefs?
Li Muyang’s merciless exposure made even the usually composed and graceful young girl slightly embarrassed.
She awkwardly smiled, unconsciously brushing the bangs on her forehead, and began speaking.
"The two heads had some misunderstandings in the past, and conflicts occasionally arose."
"But beyond that, they are both fiercely loyal and undivided in their pledge to fight for the beliefs of our sect," she added.
"The belief of Demon Sect to cleanse the world of cultivators and save all beings is something everyone in the sect strives for," she stated with renewed solemnity.
Li Muyang looked at her but remained silent.
This silence of his made Shen Yan inexplicably anxious.
After a long while, the young girl on the balcony took the initiative to speak, "Muyang, you don’t believe?"
The young man under the moonlight, handsome and youthful, not yet twenty.
But at this moment, the look he gave Shen Yan was not that of a young boy.
For a moment, Shen Yan seemed to see a mature soul sitting across from her.
After a while, Li Muyang under the moonlight nodded earnestly, gestured to his chest, and said, "I believe!"
His statement was decisive and sincere.
A quarter of an hour later, Li Muyang left the balcony and returned to his courtyard to rest.
In the shadows, Banner Master Ruan Mei, who had been quietly guarding for a long time, stepped out.
But she saw her young mistress gazing pensively at the departing figure of Li Muyang.
Ruan Mei was puzzled, "Miss?"
Her mistress, could it be she’s seeing this young man in a new light?
But then, the young girl on the balcony sighed and lowered her head.
"Not only does Martial God Domineering Body grant strong physique, its wearer’s keen sight far surpasses normal people..."
"Having been in Tianjiao City for just three days, he has already identified the gravest menace currently facing our sect."
