Yu Min trotted out of the great hall, still trembling, "Hoo..." I was so scared. I thought the mysterious sect master who never appeared in public would be terrifying, but it turned out to be a young man, and quite handsome... Hehe."
Then, she turned with two other guarding disciples to face the four people at the entrance, who were the four disciples of Revered Emperor Piao Yan: Ai Liaoran, Jing Shijie, Pu Jindong, and Ju Ye.
Yu Min's expression was unpleasant, "Our Sect Master said to tell you to scram."
Ai Liaoran immediately felt annoyed, "Hey? Why is your Divine Sect like this? As the saying goes, a good dog doesn't block the way, and a bad dog doesn't guard the door. What's going on with you?"
"You!" Yu Min knew he was insulting them.
Jing Shijie said, "Hurry up and let us in. We are the personal disciples of Revered Emperor Piao Yan, the Sect Master of the Holy Land Sect of the Divine Emperor. What, are you scared? If you offend us, you'll have a hard time."
Pu Jindong gave him a thumbs-up, "That's right. You look so tender and delicate. If you know what's good for you, give me a squeeze, otherwise... Hehe, I'll get you!"
The other three couldn't help but despise him. Pu Jindong smiled awkwardly, "Just kidding, just kidding. Am I that kind of person? Of course not."
Yu Min was enraged and ashamed, "You pervert! Get lost!"
Ai Liaoran took a step forward and said playfully, "What if we don't?"
Yu Min then put two fingers to her lips and blew a whistle!
In a short while, dozens of people rushed over, "Senior Sister Yu Min, what's wrong?"
Yu Min pointed at Ai Liaoran and the other three, "Four perverts. If you don't leave now, don't blame our Divine Sect for being impolite!"
With overwhelming numbers, even though their cultivation was low, they managed to intimidate Ai Liaoran and the other three. They were here to please Piao Ling'er, not to fight and worsen their relationship. This would leave a bad impression in Ling'er's younger sister's heart. Although they didn't know, Piao Ling'er had already grown to detest the four of them.
The disciples drew their swords. Ju Ye said, "Three Senior Brothers, since they won't let us in, let's wait outside for a while until Ling'er's younger sister comes out."
Ai Liaoran took a step back, ran his fingers through his hair, and said with undiminished grace, "I agree with what Ju Ye said."
The four then maintained a distance from the Divine Sect and waited in a nearby corner.
Inside the Divine Sect...
Empress Xingchen said in a commanding tone, "Ling'er, are you sure you don't want to come back with your mother now?"
Piao Ling'er replied without thinking, "I'm sure. Mother, don't worry, I'll just play for a day. I'll come back when I'm done playing."
Empress Xingchen had no choice but to agree, "Why couldn't you go play somewhere else instead of causing trouble at the Divine Sect? As you wish, but you must come home before dark, otherwise you know your father. He'll get angry, and I won't be able to stop him."
Piao Ling'er couldn't help but stick out her tongue, "Mother, you still love me the most."
Empress Xingchen then bid farewell to Ming Zhi Tian, "Ling'er is in your care for now. I have to go back. You know, I can't stay out for too long."
The same words again. Ming Zhi Tian felt a pang of sympathy, which made him hate Revered Emperor Piao Yan even more, a man with such strong possessiveness that he wouldn't even let his own woman go out.
Empress Xingchen turned back and smiled, a smile she forced out, filled with humility and helplessness.
Ming Zhi Tian also looked at her, wishing he could promise Empress Xingchen that he would destroy Piao Yan right now. He could bring Mo Li Divine Venerable with him if he wanted.
But he still wanted to avenge his master personally. He restrained himself, "Wait for me."
