Chapter 205: Yan Xiaoru Breaks the Rules
li muyang had no sense of belonging toward the refinement demon sect.
in his view, serving the refinement demon sect or the blood lotus cult made no difference.
he just didn’t want to survive alone; at the very least, he wanted to leave alive with yan xiaoru.
but upon hearing his words, yan xiaoru slowly shook her head.
"even if the blood lotus cult allows you to take me with you when you surrender, i won’t go," she said.
"leaving the refinement demon sect, losing my status as law enforcement elder, to me, would be no different from being dead," she said.
"i can’t lose my status as an elder."
yan xiaoru’s calm yet serious words took li muyang aback slightly.
he didn’t think yan xiaoru was someone who craved power.
thus, there must be other reasons why she valued her status as an elder of the demon sect so highly.
li muyang’s gaze confused, he hesitated for a moment before cautiously asking.
"can you tell me the reason?"
yan xiaoru was slightly overly cautious regarding his attitude.
honestly, with yan xiaoru’s status as an elder, keeping a pretty young man as a sugar boy wouldn’t be a problem at all, only perhaps slightly damaging to her reputation.
of course, li muyang did not want to be known as elder yan’s sugar boy either.
keeping this a secret was an agreement between the two.
but li muyang was still curious why yan xiaoru wanted to keep it secret, why she placed such great importance on her status as an elder of the demon sect...
seeing li muyang’s confused expression, yan xiaoru opened her mouth as if she wanted to explain.
but in the end, she shook her head.
"it’s just some private matters of mine, no need to tell you," she said.
"knowing them would only add to your troubles, and we might be separated by life and death tomorrow. i don’t want you troubled by my private affairs for the rest of your life," she said.
yan xiaoru spoke coldly.
however, her words clearly meant she believed li muyang would survive.
she didn’t want to burden li muyang, and in her eyes, she felt that the matter wasn’t something li muyang could resolve; discussing it could very well trouble him for life...
li muyang forced a smile helplessly and wrapped his arms around the woman’s slender waist.
"you’re so sure that i would go to great lengths for your sake after you’re gone? that it would even trouble me for life... i didn’t realize i appeared so lovesick in your eyes," he said.
yan xiaoru stood expressionless, letting li muyang hold her tightly.
their chests pressed tightly against each other, and the man’s hands began to wander restlessly over her waist.
but yan xiaoru just coldly looked at li muyang, saying, "if i didn’t approve of you, i wouldn’t let you carry on like this."
"did the sect master send you here?"
yan xiaoru’s indifferent tone seemed completely unconcerned that her secret had been discovered.
realizing that elder yan was not angry, the disciple who emerged from the soil secretly sighed with relief.
he then respectfully said,
"reporting to elder yan, the sect master learned of your plight here and sent me with this treasure to help elder yan escape!"

saying this, the disciple in white robe took out a light blue, transparent jade shuttle.
the jade shuttle was utterly clear, with light blue nebulas silently drifting within it, breathtakingly beautiful, clearly a priceless treasure.
seeing the jade shuttle, yan xiaoru’s eyes slightly flickered.
"the flying moon shuttle crafted by elder ge... indeed, with this treasure, i can leave this place."
yan xiaoru stepped forward and took the jade shuttle, which the disciple in the white robe respectfully presented, and asked, "and what about you? did the sect master give you any orders?"
the disciple in the white robe respectfully said, "the earth escape charm sent with me can only be used once, so the sect master commanded me to stay here and advance or retreat with the fellows here. by no later than noon tomorrow, the sect’s reinforcement will arrive here to rescue all demon sect disciples on the hill!"
the disciple in white robe respectfully answered.
however, the moment he finished speaking, yan xiaoru drew a long blade from her qiankun ring and effortlessly decapitated him.
amid the splatter of fresh blood, yan xiaoru said without any expression.
"what reinforcements? gong yanghong sending a single inner sect disciple for the mission was already the limit."
"in this forbidden zone that seals all cultivation, to allow you to travel thousands of miles using the earth escape charm, the sect must have paid a huge price to refine it; they have no resources left to care about your fate."
"the combined worth of all sect disciples on pingyang hill probably isn’t as high as this earth escape charm."
"the flying moon shuttle can only take one person. all demon sect disciples on pingyang hill have been abandoned by the sect."
"such an obvious suicide mission, and you couldn’t see it, no wonder gong yanghong chose you..."
at this point, yan xiaoru turned to look at li muyang.
her gaze softened.
but her tone became firm,
"this time, you can go down the mountain and surrender."
"the sect master chose the simplest and most trouble-free rescue method, to save only me."
"the flying moon shuttle can only take one person, but you can surrender to the blood lotus sect and become their leader."
"when i return, i will hide your family. once the storm passes, i will send for them to reunite with you, ensuring that they won’t be harmed by the sect."
yan xiaoru said this, then gently exhaled a breath and fell silent.
after a long moment, she coldly said under li muyang’s silent gaze, "the fling between you and me ends here..."
