Piao Ling'er asked, "Are the masters you know reliable? Don't get fooled."
Ming Zhitian shook his head. "No, he's a true master."
Empress Xingchen patted Piao Ling'er's shoulder. "Alright, since Zhitian is fine, I'm relieved. Let's not disturb their family reunion. Let's go."
Piao Ling'er immediately refused. "Mother, what are you talking about? I still want to play with Ming Zhitian."
Empress Xingchen's eyebrows twitched. "Zhitian finally came back for a visit, and you insist on disturbing their reunion. What, you don't listen to your mother anymore?"
Piao Ling'er sulked. "I don't care. You can do whatever you want at home, but we're outside now. And Mother, don't forget who brought you out?"
"You!..." Empress Xingchen was almost infuriated.
At that moment, a female guard disciple entered and reported to Yan Lixue and Yan Fei, "Reporting to the Sect Master, Deputy Sect Master."
The Shenzong Sect had only just established the Luoyi Sect, with Yan Lixue as the Sect Master and Yan Fei as the Deputy Sect Master. Due to Ming Zhitian's influence, the Luoyi Sect was rumored to have recruited three thousand male and female disciples.
Yan Lixue pointed to Ming Zhitian and said, "This is the Sect Master of the Shenzong Sect."
The female guard shyly looked up at Ming Zhitian, then lowered her head in embarrassment. "Disciple Yu Min greets the Sect Master."
Ming Zhitian nodded. Yan Lixue asked, "What is it?"
Yu Min replied, "Reporting to the Sect Master, there are four people seeking an audience outside. They seem to be looking for a woman named Piao Ling'er. One of them, a man, is named Ai Liaoran."
"..." Piao Ling'er felt too embarrassed to show her face. "Damn it, four followers."
Yu Min looked at Yan Lixue. "Sect Master, should we bring them in?"
Yan Lixue looked at Ming Zhitian, who then looked at Piao Ling'er. "What do you think?"
As Piao Ling'er met Ming Zhitian's gaze, her pretty face felt instantly hot, her heart pounding as if it were about to ignite.
But she quickly composed herself. "Tell them to get lost."
Ming Zhitian looked at Yu Min and said, "Go ahead."
Yu Min looked at Yan Lixue. Yan Lixue said, "The Sect Master's wish is my wish."
Yu Min's entire face turned red, and she stammered, "Yes! Sect Master, Sect Master, this disciple will take her leave."
Yan Lixue nodded. Ming Zhitian put his arm around her and kissed her. "Wife, you're amazing."
Yan Lixue's cheeks flushed. "Husband, what are you saying? So many people are here."
Ming Zhitian said, "Under your management, the disciples of the Luoyi Sect are all obedient. You're so capable, you deserve a kiss."
He kissed her again. Yan Lixue was slightly stunned. "I thought..."
Ming Zhitian looked into her eyes playfully. "Thought what?"
Yan Lixue pushed him away. "Nothing, you're annoying. This isn't just my credit; Fei'er and all the sisters helped too."
Ming Zhitian then pulled Yan Fei into his arms. "Fei'er, I'm sorry, I've neglected you recently. Will you come to my room tonight?"
Yan Fei jolted. "No, no, I... I'm not ready yet. You go tend to the other sisters."
Ming Zhitian was taken aback. For her to say this, she must have learned from someone. He looked at Ouyang Ni Feng, who was secretly smiling beside them. "You two... have you been close recently?"
Ouyang Ni Feng rolled her eyes at him. "None of your business."
Yan Lixue pinched Ming Zhitian's arm. "Don't bully my sister."
Ming Zhitian had no choice but to surrender. "Ouch, ouch, ouch... My dear wife, be gentle, be gentle. Your husband knows he's wrong."
