Chapter 61 Charming Sect Master Begs For Mercy!
Xue Yan instantly froze. She did not expect Victor to be so brazen, her mental protection was completely breached and everything she does at this moment is completely at the mercy of Victor.
"Insolent!" - She fiercely pushed Victor away, her eyes trembling while her face was beet red, until that moment no one had dared to treat her like that.
Shame on you!
Too embarrassing!
Her heart was pounding madly, and even though she screamed at him angrily, in her heart she felt a sweet sensation. She enjoyed it.
Xue Yan didn't know why she allowed Victor to be so brazen because if she had wanted to she could have easily avoided their contact, but unfortunately she was inexperienced in relationships and because of that Victor had a clear advantage.
'What a nice reaction.' Victor smiled as he took a few steps away from Xue Yan, he could do that once but not again, they are not yet in the kind of relationship where he could do whatever he wanted with her.
'The best thing to do now was to behave with restraint with occasional flirting,' he thought.
Only after a long time Xue Yan began to recover from the shock, but even so, her cheeks burned and her eyes sparkled.
'I haven't agreed to our relationship yet, and he still…' She cried out angrily in her thoughts. But looking at Victor's snow-white hair and his deep eyes, the anger instantly disappeared and a sense of anticipation about the future surfaced.
She knew that soon with his talent it was only a matter of time before he would be worthy of her, but for that it was necessary to avoid thieving cats in order to keep him only for herself.
"Sect Master, I apologize for my actions, you were so charming that I couldn't help myself." - Victor bowed, as if he really repented of his actions.
"Ch… charming?" - Xue Yan grasped her hot cheeks.
'What kind of nonsense is he talking about?'
Victor was the only person who said such words in her life, the word "charming" was quite the opposite of her personality, the whole world considered her a cold, bloodthirsty woman, a demon in human form.
'But, he says I'm charming…' Xue Yan bit her lip and her eyes seemed a bit foggy.
"All right, that's enough! I haven't agreed to anything yet!" - Xue Yan waved her hands. She couldn't hear such words anymore, she was both pleased and ashamed of his flattering words.
"That's not why I called you here." - Only now she remembered the reason she wanted to see him in the first place.
"I wanted to hold the ceremony and bestow you the status of the holy son tomorrow, but unfortunately I received an unexpected message. At the border between the eastern and western regions of Incheon, a pocket space has appeared in which, according to a legend, a test of an ancient emperor is to appear."
"All the higher sects have sent their disciples to explore it and I want you to go there and use this opportunity." - Xue Yan said in a serious tone, her face suddenly returning to the cold expression that the sect master usually had.
Xue Yan did not want to let Victor leave the sect at all, he was the only man who not only confessed to her and even under the threat of death decided not to abandon it, but he was surprisingly pleasant to communicate with.
It was something new, a feeling she had not yet experienced.
But unfortunately at the most inopportune time came the opportunity to get not only the treasures of an ancient emperor, but also the chance to get his inheritance, she did not want Victor to miss this opportunity.
So even though she didn't want to, she needed to let him go for a while.
Ding!
[Master, a new task is available!]
[Please enter the tomb of an ancient emperor and receive his inheritance.]
[Reward will be available after its fulfillment]
Hearing the alert from the system Victor's eyes lit up, every time he performed tasks that he received from the system he made a huge profit and now getting a new one he did not want to miss it. In addition, if he could complete the task he would not only get the inheritance of the ancient emperor, but also the reward for the performance of such a chance was not to be missed.
He did not know anything about the ancient emperor in question, but the system should not give a meaningless task, which means that it was something meaningful. Just from the thought of it, Victor's heart raced. In this life he did not want to miss any opportunity to become stronger.
The stronger he becomes, the easier it will be to control his destiny, as he has always dreamed.
"Master, do you know what kind of inheritance it is?" - Victor asked curiously.
Xue Yan shook her head.
She herself did not know what was in there, she found out about it only because her spies reported that some disciples of the righteous sects had accidentally discovered the dimensional pocket, and although it was a secret between the righteous sects she would eventually find out about it anyway.
Of course, she didn't want to take any chances, so she sent her subordinates to confirm the validity of the information and soon received a response confirming it. The spatial pocket was open but cultivators who were above the realm of Heavenly Ascension(3) were not allowed to enter the place.
This phenomenon has often occurred in her memory, several times in random places a legacy was discovered and more often than not the cultivator who was acknowledged by it shocked the world with his capabilities, if he survived that is.
Even she herself got most of her powers only through the various inheritances she received when she was young, so she wanted him to take advantage of that as well.
"All I know is that it is not an ordinary inheritance because the conditions to enter it are unusual and that it should not open until tomorrow night." - Before the spatial pocket was open, it was possible to know the approximate time of its opening, and only those who had ever encountered such a phenomenon, though it was rare, knew about it. Of course all the masters of the higher sects knew about it.
"Tomorrow you go alone, I don't want our disciples to disturb you. If someone decides to disturb you, kill them no matter if they belong to a righteous sect or a demonic sect. I will deal with any consequences." - Xue Yan said confidently, she was completely indifferent to all the people of this world except her sect disciples.
