CHAPTER 208: 208 - IS THAT NEGOTIABLE?

Yanxiao was naturally surprised by Qingyi’s request.

It wasn’t exactly something unusual, married disciples preferred to stay by their companions’ side, but wouldn’t having Qingxue only as a partner be a waste of her talents?

She would probably be a great help in increasing the merits of the sect if she were sent to the orthodox alliance, and Yanxiao felt his heart bleed slightly at the thought of wasting such a talent.

"Is that negotiable?" he asked.

Of course, he could threaten, use his power, force Qingyi to go for better or worse.

But Yanxiao wasn’t that kind of tiger.

"No." Qingyi shook his head, drawing a tired sigh from Yanxiao.

"Very well." He swung his paw in the air and the world around them distorted, a smile full of sharp teeth appearing on his feline face.

"I’ll also recommend that redhead, she’ll probably be useful to a man like you."

"R-redhead?" Qingyi stammered.

That damn tiger even knew about Rongyan?

Qingyi didn’t have time to question it while the teleportation formations in Yanxiao’s residence were activated and the two of them were sent back to the city of the eternal river.

In the end, he just exhaled heavily before focusing on the small box in his hands.

"Take it," he handed it to Qingxue.

"No, I don’t deserve this, use it on yourself!" She said, pushing the item back, although she was unable to hide the desire in her gaze.

It was obvious that she wanted it, but she believed that Qingyi would put the Mind World Seed to much better use.

"That’s useless to me, my lineage doesn’t allow me to use that kind of item. It will help you much more than me."

Qingxue still hesitated at those words, but in the end, she just bowed her head, accepting the item with a trembling look.

That was an item of incomparable value and she knew it very well.

After giving Qingxue a kiss and leaving her to cultivate, Qingyi left the sect in the direction of White Peak City.

His mind was totally focused on the Orthodox Alliance.

The Orthodox Alliance was the best-known and most renowned organization in the entire Nine Peaks Basin.

Founded around five thousand years ago by a group of 16 transcendents from the seven great families and nine great sects, the orthodox alliance was first created as a forum to discuss the political situation and the remnants of demonic worship in the Nine Peaks Basin.

But in recent centuries, everything has changed.

The demon cult began to revive, its troops invading the land like a plague, and rumors indicated that the current leader had reached the peak of the realm of transcendence.

Of course, this wouldn’t have been a big problem if it had been anyone else.

Yanxiao himself was at the peak of the transcendence realm, while three of the leaders of the nine great sects and two of the leaders of the seven great families had also reached this level.

But the problem was the bloodline of the demon cult leader.

The bloodline of the heavenly demon, a mortal-grade bloodline whose power placed him above everyone and everything.

It frightened even Yanxiao, and Qingyi knew it well.

It was because of this man that the orthodox alliance was converted into a military organization.

An organization totally focused on fighting the demon cult, with hundreds of thousands of powerful cultivators ready to die in the name of the orthodox way.

It was obvious that Qingyi would be taking a huge risk by joining the orthodox alliance.

But that risk barely crossed his mind when compared to the possible gains.

He was a little curious to know what that little demoness’s father was like.

But from the little he had talked about the leader of the demon cult with Ruyan, Qingyi already imagined that he would be someone he would probably have to kill in the future.

Shaking his head, Qingyi pushed those thoughts aside and made his way towards White Peak City.

Once there, he immediately went to meet the red-haired, explosive-tempered beauty in the city’s guard fortress.

She was, as usual, in her office, hunkered down with documents to sign, her eyes bearing black smudges of sleep.

But it wasn’t all bad.

She had also made a breakthrough in her cultivation, reaching the fourth stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.

"Qingyi? What are you doing here?" She raised her beautiful face, watching him enter her office.

Her heart palpitated immediately and she felt her whole body heat up.

She still felt strange about Qingyi.

One part of her wanted to hate him while the other wanted to love him more than anything and be grateful for the gift he had given her.

An improvement in her talent of that level was simply priceless and she couldn’t help but feel a little touched.

"What? A man can’t visit his wife anymore?"

Qingyi gave a teasing little smile as he pulled Rongyan into his embrace, pressing his lips against hers and grabbing her plump ass, squeezing hard.

"Nghnn~~ if you touched any other woman of my level, she’d castrate you, you know?" Rongyan gritted her teeth, unable to suppress her moans.

"Well... thank god you’re not any other woman of your level, hahaha," Qingyi laughed before wiping the smile off his face and assuming a serious expression.

"You don’t seem to be here for a good thing." Rongyan also turned serious.

"Maybe good, maybe bad, I’m not sure yet. The sect guardian wants to send me to the orthodox alliance and well... apparently, he’s going to transfer you there too."

Qingyi expected an explosive response from Rongyan, perhaps blaming him for something, cursing.

But to his surprise, her eyes were filled with an intense glow.

Being a White Peak City guard was her childhood dream, but honestly, it had already turned into a nightmare.

Qingyi’s words didn’t make her angry, quite the opposite.

Working in the Orthodox Alliance was much, much more prestigious than working in White Peak City and, above all, there was much less paperwork and much more action.

As a woman who liked to break bones, being transferred there was like a dream.
