At this moment, Xu Sheng interrupted them, calmly stating, "Sect Master, I have something I'd like to mention!"
The Sect Master of the Evil Spirit Sect raised an eyebrow, curiously saying, "Oh?"
This was the first time Xu Sheng had ever proposed a suggestion, which aroused his curiosity...
Other elders of the Evil Spirit Sect also looked at Xu Sheng with incomprehension, waiting for his explanation...
Xu Sheng chuckled lightly, "I would like to allow an Evil Spirit Sect disciple to leave; the Sect Master and the Elders shouldn't have any objections, right?"
The face of the Sect Master of the Evil Spirit Sect darkened, but he did not immediately answer...
While the other Elders' eyes gleamed sharply...
One of the Elders asked curiously, "Let a disciple leave? Could it be the female disciple who has always been with Elder Xu?"
Another Elder pondered, "Could it possibly be that Elder Xu, your relationship with that female disciple is of... that nature? In that case, it wouldn't be too objectionable!"
Although they were all malicious elders of the Evil Spirit Sect, they were not cold-blooded creatures and could understand such matters!
"Hmm! If it's just one disciple, it won't cause any impact,"
"I also think there's nothing to it. The Four Great Sects around us have all been annihilated; could releasing a female disciple possibly lead those people over there to come after us?"
Only the Sect Master of the Evil Spirit Sect's gaze grew dense with authority, fixing Xu Sheng with a piercing stare as he said, "Elder Xu, can you guarantee she won't disclose any of these affairs after leaving?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Sheng, without any change in expression, said, "Disclose? Sect Master, you are overthinking it; I've never told her about such things..."
After observing Xu Sheng for a few more seconds, the Sect Master of the Evil Spirit Sect finally responded calmly, "Is that so? I agree."
Seeing this, Xu Sheng stood up from his seat, glanced at all of them, and nodded, "Well then, Sect Master, and Elders, I'll take my leave first."
With that said, he did not tarry and left at an unhurried pace...
After he had left, these Elders of the Evil Spirit Sect looked back at their Sect Master...
They asked with confusion, "Sect Master, are we really going to let that female disciple go?"
A cold and murderous intent flickered in the pupils of the Sect Master of the Evil Spirit Sect, "I've said that I wouldn't allow any trifling matter to affect my words! After that female disciple leaves, have someone erase her!"
No sooner had he spoken these words than Xu Sheng raised such an issue, which was absolutely a slap in his own face!
How could he possibly agree to it!
The hearts of the Elders chilled upon hearing this sentence...
Their Sect Master was entirely one thing to the face, another behind the back...
...
"Crack," Xu Sheng pushed open the door and stepped into the room...
He glanced around and saw Shangguan Lin sitting on the bed, her gaze somewhat dazed and even ignoring his arrival...
She was muttering softly to herself...
Xu Sheng tapped her on the head, asking curiously, "Shangguan, what are you thinking about?"
Shangguan Lin, coming back to her senses, rubbed her head, her tone somewhat flustered, "Xu... Xu Sheng, you're back..."
What to do, what to do?
If Xu Sheng truly was to... to her...
Should she agree? Or agree? Or agree?
No matter what, just agree and it will be over!
Xu Sheng softly said, "Mhm! What were you thinking just now?"
Shangguan Lin shook her head, muttered through gritted teeth, "It's... it's nothing, Xu Sheng, didn't you have something to tell me before?"
Being so straightforward, is that really okay?
If Xu Sheng was too embarrassed to speak?
Wouldn't that mean...
```
Xu Sheng was initially stunned, then nodded and said, "Right, indeed there is something very important I need to tell you!"
Allowing Shangguan Lin to continue staying in the Evil Spirit Sect might turn her into a sacrifice!
This statement made Shangguan Lin's beautiful eyes shine even brighter, and the anticipation in her heart grew stronger...
Xu Sheng looked at Shangguan Lin with complicated eyes and said gently, "Shangguan, we have known each other for some time now, right?"
Shangguan Lin's face turned shy as she said, "Hmm! It's been almost ten days…"
It looked like she had guessed correctly!
He asked her to wait in the room for that one statement he found hard to voice!
And she had already stopped caring about the unpleasantness that had occurred between her and Xu Sheng!
Xu Sheng pursed his thin lips, "Yes! When I first met you, you were just a simple female demon cultivator, and by a stroke of fate, you became my slave!"
He took someone as a slave but did not do that sort of thing.
Hearing these memories, Shangguan Lin rubbed her burning cheeks and said softly, "Xu Sheng… why bring up these old stories now? I feel somewhat embarrassed."
She recalled how she originally wanted to absorb Xu Sheng's vital energy, but ended up being intimidated by his mere words!
Xu Sheng still smiled and said, "Is that so, then I won't mention the past anymore. You must take the following words seriously!"
Shangguan Lin's heartbeat quickened, her beautiful eyes fluttered, and she said with some excitement, "Yes! I will try to remember it for a lifetime!"
Such rare words must indeed be remembered for a lifetime!
Xu Sheng took a deep breath and said with a serious face, "Three days from now will be the night of the full moon, and all the disciples of the Evil Spirit Sect will be used as sacrifices, so if you continue to stay here, you may be in danger of losing your life!"
Upon these words, the entire space fell into an eerie silence...
Shangguan Lin's pupils slightly dilated, her face revealing a dazed expression, and she said with a forced laugh, "Xu… Xu Sheng, this isn't the important matter you were talking about, right??"
How come, Xu Sheng's words were not what she was expecting!
No, they were completely different!
Were all those things she fantasized about earlier merely her own thoughts…
Did he really have no feelings for her at all?
Impossible!
This absolutely couldn't be! If it were so, why would he have saved her repeatedly and returned the vital blood he had obtained to her?
Right, it must be that Xu Sheng was too embarrassed to say it, so she should say it herself...
With this thought, her lips parted slightly...
But before she could speak her heart out, Xu Sheng interrupted, "It is this matter, Shangguan, any questions?"
The light in Shangguan Lin's enchanting beautiful eyes dimmed, followed by a few more tears falling, as she forced a smile and said, "No… no problems, this is indeed very important."
A few seconds later, she calmed her emotions as much as possible and smiled at Xu Sheng, "Xu Sheng, could you step out for a moment? I want to be alone for a while!"
Without saying much, Xu Sheng nodded silently, "Alright!"
After he stepped out, he closed the door to the room, closed his eyes, and leaned against it...
As expected, once Xu Sheng's figure had completely disappeared from the room...
The sound of Shangguan Lin's sobbing emerged from within...
"Xu Sheng, you big jerk, why do you have to break my heart again?"
"If you don't have those feelings for me, why do you save me! Whether I live or die, what does it have to do with you?"
"You jerk! I will never forgive you in this lifetime!"
However, listening carefully to these words, Xu Sheng's face did not reveal any expression...
