Chapter 2121: Chapter 2121: As the saying goes, things will develop in the opposite direction when they become extreme
She just wanted a better life, what was so wrong about that? Why did she have to be sent to a damned place like the Trapped Dragon Realm, where she might never be able to leave again!
She was filled with hatred!
She loathed her own father deeply, who doted on her so much. Why couldn’t he contend with the High Priest Demon Heart, and let Master Qian marry her?
Why must he not support his own daughter, and instead listen to outsiders to deal with his own kin?
“I hate you, I hate all of you!”
She yelled into the air, but regrettably, nobody could hear her anymore.
The Paper Person just quietly watched her; as long as she did not die, it would not act, and as for her words, it might as well have not heard them.
…
Outside, Sect Master Xue and the other two felt that only a moment had passed before Qian Jiyun and An Jiuyue emerged.
“High Priest, Master Qian, you have come out.”
He quickly stepped forward to greet them, his large eyes scanning their bodies, but not seeing the Paper Person, he let out a silent sigh of relief.
Unexpectedly, the High Priest, who seemed so aloof, was actually giving him face after all. Although he had sent Xue Manyu into the Trapped Dragon Realm, he had also left that suddenly emerged person inside.
With that person there, he felt relieved; at least his daughter’s life in the Trapped Dragon Realm was guaranteed.
“Hmm.”
An Jiuyue lifted her gaze to look at him, feeling a bit perplexed.
Why did it seem like Sect Master Xue was quite happy? It was baffling; his own daughter had been sent to the Trapped Dragon Realm, and he actually seemed pleased?
What was this situation? Could it be he was worried to the point of foolishness, a case of the extreme leading to the opposite?
Glancing sideways, she looked at her husband, wanting to ask him what Sect Master Xue was foolishly happy about.
Qian Jiyun caught her gaze, the corners of his mouth slightly turned up.
Why Sect Master Xue was foolishly happy, he was well aware; it was just that he felt they still valued him highly, after all, they had left someone behind to ‘take care’ of Xue Manyu in the Trapped Dragon Realm, hadn’t they?
“Let’s go back; we still have things to handle, don’t we?”
He reminded An Jiuyue.
“Yes, let’s go.”
Thinking of their impending departure to the Northern Lands, An Jiuyue grew a bit impatient.
However, she took another glance at Sect Master Xue, uncertain whether he had had enough of being the Sect Master. She didn’t really want to use brute force to pull him down from his position.
…
“Why not let Yuu Rong and the others test the waters?”
After returning to the courtyard, An Jiuyue discussed with Qian Jiyun her intention of helping Xue Jue ascend to the position of Sect Master.
In the end, she tentatively suggested that they should first probe the situation.
“What’s there to snoop around for? Sister-in-law, I think you’re overthinking it. Look at Sect Master Xue; he doesn’t have the presence of a Wind Sect Sect Master at all.
As long as you let it slip that it was Young Sect Master Xue’s idea to send Xue Manyu to the Trapped Dragon Realm, I assure you, every disciple of the Tufeng Sect will wholeheartedly respect Young Sect Master Xue!”
Yuu Rong spoke with genuine conviction. With Xue Manyu being such a menace, whoever could subdue her would be seen as their great benefactor.
Just add a little more fuel to the fire, and even if Young Sect Master Xue is not the Sect Master, his prestige will be above Sect Master Xue’s. Whether or not the title of Sect Master matters will be inconsequential then.
However, An Jiuyue who heard his words, inwardly rolled her eyes.
For the sake of a Sect Master title, did she really need to make Sect Master Xue and Young Sect Master Xue turn against each other?
