A Furious Yuan Ji

Ye Chengxi quietly asked Hai Guotian and Deng Chao, "What is it that you want?"

Hai Guotian was smiling at the heavenly figure of Ye Chengxi and he was looking lecherously at her. "The Goddess Fairy Ye Chengxi is really such an astonishing beauty in person. Every time that I am here, I cannot help but to praise you."

Ye Chengxi said icily, "You are out of your place. I'm your senior and…"

Deng Chao laughed as he interrupted, "Have you forgotten that you still owe the two of us some ten thousand spirit stones?"

Ye Chengxi looked away, "I will repay you as soon as possible…"

"Repay with what?" Hai Guotian suddenly had a lecherous smile. "Isn't it time for you to repay us with some interests first?"

Ye Chengxi took a step back before she asked, "What is it that you want?"

Hai Guotian said shamelessly, "We want you of course. I am always wondering what the bed of the Goddess Fairy Ye Chengxi is like."

"Shameless!" Ye Chengxi had immediately rebuked him sharply but the two men had immediately surrounded her and were touching her.

"Fairy Ye Chengxi, we have desired you for a long time…" Hai Guotian was suddenly gasping halfway as a sword had run through to him out of the blue.

Deng Chao had turned ashen but before he could react, a sword that was so swift had flashed in front of him and had cut him down.

Their attacker was Yuan Ji who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

Although he had not regained his profound strength yet but he could still deal with these lowly cultivators with his eyes closed.

Ye Chengxi was gasping, "Do you know who they are? They are the senior protégés of the Emperor Hall Sect!"

"So what?" Yuan Ji said quietly.

Ye Chengxi was trembling and she seemed a little lost. "What shall we do now?"

Yuan Ji said, "You can chain me up and send me to the Emperor Hall Sect. After all, I am the one that has killed them. This matter has nothing to do with you."

"You will be sliced to pieces if I were to send you there." Ye Chengxi said quietly.

"Isn't the survival of the Orthodox Sword Sect more important to you than anything else?" Yuan Ji said.

Ye Chengxi began to tremble. This was an undeniable fact. She had once promised her master that she would use her life to protect the Orthodox Sword Sect and to carry his torch for him.

But she averted her eyes before she said with trembling lips, "Go now. As far as you can. This matter does not concern you. Go while before I've decided to change my mind."

"How are you going to handle the Emperor Hall Sect if I were to leave now?" Yuan Ji asked.

Ye Chengxi was rendered speechless by him. She had not thought of that yet.

Yuan Ji was sighing softly. Some things would never change. Despite her advancement in cultivation level, Ye Chengxi had always been soft-hearted and it was easy for the others to manipulate her.

Ye Chengxi returned a weak smile, "I know what to do. Don't worry about me. You should worry about yourself first. I can buy you some time for your escape."

Yuan Ji smiled coldly, "So that is your best plan?"

Ye Chengxi turned her head away, "So do you have a better plan?"

"You are a fifth realm golden celestial in your own right. Surely you are not thinking of allowing them to trample upon your pride?" Yuan Ji asked quietly.

Ye Chengxi began to stroke her beautiful long hair with trembling fingers, "Do you think that fighting will solve anything? Moreover, I'm only a puny fifth realm cultivator. The elders of the Emperor Hall Sect are all sixth realm cultivators. Do you think that Chengxi will be able to fight them? Will this solve the upkeep issues of my sect?"

Yuan Ji said quietly, "You can choose to run away. No one can stop you from running away."

Ye Chengxi smiled weakly and her eyes had grown melancholy, "My master won't be too pleased if he knows."

"Your master is long dead. You don't have to uphold any promise to a dead man." Yuan Ji said.

Ye Chengxi lit a faint smile, "This is a matter of principle. If I lose my principles than I won't be able to advance in my cultivation."

"But you are also willing to bend all your other principles because of one principle? Drop it." Yuan Ji said.

"This one principle is the anchor of my soul sea. I will never be able to drop it." Ye Chengxi said quietly.

Yuan Ji: …

Yuan Ji said, "Give me a week time. In the meantime, don't do anything foolish."

Ye Chengxi gasped softly, "What are you planning to do?"

Yuan Ji laughed weakly, "Nothing. I have no better plan too. Therefore I am going to surrender myself to the Emperor Hall Sect. Good bye…"

All of a sudden Ye Chengxi had reached out to catch his wrist, "Don't go…"

Yuan Ji was startled when she had suddenly caught hold of his wrist. There was an electrifying pulse in him when she had touched him.

Ye Chengxi quickly let off of his wrist with a flushed look, "This…isn't a good plan. It is suicide."

Yuan Ji smiled, "You can start by telling me all about the Emperor Hall Sect first."

Ye Chengxi nodded and said, "The Emperor Hall Sect is led by the Palace Mistress and the four elders…"

While she was explaining the details of the Emperor Hall Sect to him, she was secretly flushing shyly and her ears were burning intensely.

It was because she had never expected to see her old master again. She had actually recognized him on the very first day that they had met. With or without his beard, she knew all his little mannerisms by heart. It was just that she had never expected that her old master was actually such a dashing young man behind his ugly long beard.

Ji Yuan was her old master's name. And this young man had called himself Yuan Ji. She was actually not so gullible and knew that he had made up his name at the very last minute when he was being questioned.

But because she knew that her 'old' master liked his face more than anything, she did not want to expose him that she actually knew who he was.

She was actually thinking, "Isn't it good this way? My master is now no longer my master and I am no longer his disciple. Whether he is a seventh realm saint or not, does it matter to me?"

When she saw that her old master had lost his golden eyes, she thought that he had probably failed in his breakthrough attempt and was too ashamed to tell anyone about it. Moreover, she had used her divine sense to examine his profound strength and felt that he was now weaker than her.

"Master, maybe this time round it is my turn to protect you?"

Yuan Ji was suddenly startled when he saw that Ye Chengxi was suddenly staring at him with soft eyes.

"Why is she looking at me in this manner? Is she thinking of silencing me on the sly?"
