âYes, His Highness, it is,â Cai Hong respectfully replied in his mind.
âGood,â that voice said. âWe now entrust him to you. Donât let him get into any danger. Otherwise, you wouldnât be able to bear the wrath of the masterâs wrath. If something happens to him, we wouldnât survive.â
âUnderstood,â Cai Hong said, his eyes now filled with ardor and resolve. He then glanced back in the direction of the disciples from the Northern Wolves Sect who were all cursing him for hiding.
âScrew you! If you donât appear in front of us, Iâm afraid youâll not be able to stop us!â the leader of the group, with differently colored clothes, warned.
âIs that so? Then, allow me,â Cai Hong replied as he instantly appeared in front of these men with the appearance of a heavenly immortal.
All of them were dumbfounded. Even the ladies, who could only see the back of Cai Hong, felt their hearts stir in the presence of this young man. They were all mesmerized by his change of appearance.
Apparently, ever since Yang Lujia acknowledged him as a servant and that voice subsequently reminded him to call Yang Lujia His Highness, his face contained a bit more aura and handsomeness like no other.
âW-Who are you?â the leader of the men asked, his mind trying to find ways to escape immediately. Although he wasnât that smart, he could tell that the man in front of them was someone he could not deal with. Just from his aura alone, they felt very suffocated.
It had to be known that Cai Hong had not even released a bit of his real aura. It was just him standing there, in front of them, seemingly unbugged.
âAre my eyes trying to deceive me? Is this the so-called impartial God who descended from heaven to save us?â one woman muttered in a daze.
âS-Sister⦠look⦠heâs s-somewhat glowingâ¦â
âI can also see thatâ¦â
Their big sister, however, frowned when she saw this man appear. Among the four of them, she was the most skeptical about this man. After all, in her understanding, the world never worked this way.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
It was true. Cai Hong was not glowing. It was just the image her step sisters were imagining. Yes, step sisters. Because unlike them, she was only adopted.
âLittle sisters, you should not be deceived by appearance alone,â she warned them. âLetâs just get away from this place already. I donât want to stay here any longer. Our mother is already on the verge of death!â
âAhhh?!â The three reacted and immediately ran after their big sister.
No matter what, their mother should come first before anything else.
âThank you for saving us, benefactor! We sincerely donât know how to repay you! However, we are in a hurry now. I hope we see each other again in the future!â the eldest said, as she hurried with her little sisters away from the scene.
âThat girl is smart,â Cai Hong said with an amicable smile on his face as he looked in their direction. He also felt some familiarity with this girl.
Meanwhile, the male disciples from the Northern Wolves Sect stood frozen in front of him, not daring to move an inch. That was because Cai Hong was very scary, despite his accommodating appearance!
âCai Hong, that lady is one of you. Help her. Her master, just like you, would come to this realm, and once that lady met her, she would also become her servant like you. Remember, about this, do not tell His Highness yet.â
âAh?â Cai Hong revealed a surprised reaction as he looked in their direction again. âIt seems like I know now why she reacted like that when she saw me.â
His gaze then shifted to the male disciples of the Northern Wolves Sect. âNow, what shall I do with you all? How can I make all of you talk?â
Stretching one hand out, he continued, âIf you donât want your lives to end here, tell me everything about the Northern Wolves Sect. I want to know where you are all hiding, your main headquarters, and the likes.â
âY-Yes, si-sir!â The leaderâs legs kept on trembling nonstop. He tried to compose himself by avoiding Cai Hongâs gaze. âA-Actuallyâ¦â
âYou can be at ease. I donât kill people as long as theyâre useful to me,â Cai Hong replied. In fact, it was only half-meant. For as much as possible, His Highness ordered him not to kill anyone wantonlyâwithout any reason.
âY-Yesâ¦â
Then the leader proceeded to let Cai Hong know about the whereabouts of the other members of their sect and what they usually do. However, he was immediately stopped by Cai Hong.
âWait, you donât have to tell me everything about your sect,â he said, shaking his head. âFor now, I just want to know where your main headquarter is. That way, itâs going to be easy for me to locate everyone in your sect after I capture and interrogate your sect master.â
Each of the men paled. They did not know that this man was truly trying to push the buttons of their sect and attack them. No one knew how barbarous their sect master was. However, they very well knew that their sect master was someone like Cai Hong in front of themâvery strong!
That was them being ignorant of Cai Hongâs cultivation level, however.
âSeniorâ¦â the leader called out.
Seeing that he wanted to speak about something, Cai Hong urged him. âSpeak what you desire to speak about.â
âI am a Core Disciple of the sect. Therefore, I know the main headquarters. However, m-may I know the purpose of the senior with our sect? D-Did we somehow offend senior in the past?â
Cai Hong then shook his head. âNo. I am just here under the order of His Highness. I am not to fail at all costs. Moreover, if I fail, even His Highness will forgive, I will not be able to forgive myself.â
