Miss Loser is too enchanting

"There’s no rush," Dugu Qianye called Xiahou Chun back and said, "I have something I need to discuss with you."

Xiahou Chun sat back in his chair and replied, "Please go ahead, Young Master."

Dugu Qianye shared with them how he had obtained the Gold Spiritual Bead, saying, "I’ve come from the Refiners Sect, and even if Jian Fengxing and his people don’t find out, it’s still impossible to escape Yong Xing’s notice. So, the situation at the Alchemist Sect is extremely dangerous now. It’s all because of me."

Dugu Qianye still felt somewhat guilty about this. If it weren’t for him, the Alchemist Sect might still have maintained its neutral stance.

"Young Master, don’t worry. Even if we have to confront Yong Xing, the Alchemist Sect won’t be afraid! Even if it costs us the foundation of a million years, we will ensure your safety!" Xiahou Chun declared.

Dugu Qianye hadn’t expected Xiahou Chun to say this and after a moment of silence, he said, "This is the foundation left by the previous owner of the Shennong Cauldron; I can’t let it be destroyed because of me. I have a proposal for you to consider. You should know about the Nine Heavens Mystic Realm. How about relocating there?"

Xiahou Chun and Green Emperor Xiahou looked at each other, and said, "Young Master, this matter..."

"You’re not willing?" Dugu Qianye asked when he saw their hesitation.

Xiahou Chun shook his head and answered, "It’s not that we’re unwilling; it’s that we simply can’t go."

"Why not?"

"Master, the Nine Heavens Mystic Realm is a private realm owned by the Venerable Lord and it’s not a place just anyone can go to. Moreover, we’re talking about moving the entire Sect over. Without the Venerable Lord’s permission, we can’t go. And the Venerable Lord will not agree," Green Emperor Xiahou replied.

"Why not?" Dugu Qianye persisted.

"The last time someone tried to go to the Nine Heavens Mystic Realm, they were rejected without even seeing the Venerable Lord’s face. We can’t go to the Nine Heavens Mystic Realm, so naturally, we can’t find the Venerable Lord either," Green Emperor Xiahou explained.

Dugu Qianye had thought it was a big problem, but just smiled and said, "That’s easy to handle. I’ll just have a word with Zi Xiao." After saying that, she channeled some spiritual power into her Purple Jade Bracelet.

"Little Yeye, do you miss me?" The shadow of Zi Xiao appeared before Dugu Qianye again, teasingly saying as he saw her.

Dugu Qianye glanced at the ranks of the army behind him, thinking he must still be on the battlefield, and asked, "Is it convenient to talk to you now?"

"Little Yeye, anytime is a good time for you," Zi Xiao said.

"Stop joking around! I have something serious to talk about." Dugu Qianye glared at Zi Xiao, "I want to move the Alchemist Sect to the Nine Heavens Mystic Realm."

"As long as you decide, it’s good," Zi Xiao replied, then sighed, adding, "Although I really want to see you more, Yong Xing, that old fly, is here. Little Yeye, I need to go and meet him. It’s been many years since I fought him. Miss me, okay?"

"You go ahead. Be careful!" Dugu Qianye said, then withdrew the Purple Jade Bracelet, looking at Xiahou Chun and Green Emperor Xiahou still stunned by the words "As long as you decide, it’s good"...

"Are there any problems now?" Dugu Qianye spoke up, jolting the two men back from their shock.

"Master, you and the Venerable Lord..." Xiahou Chun couldn’t help but ask, grinning. He hadn’t expected his Master to be so close to the Venerable Lord that perhaps one day, the Venerable Lord would become his grandmaster!

"Cough cough..." Dugu Qianye gave a pretend cough and shot Xiahou Chun a glare.

She could not fail to detect the teasing in his words!

"There are no more issues on the Nine Heavens Mystical Realm side, now what do you think about this proposal?" Dugu Qianye asked.

Seeing how easily Dugu Qianye had solved what seemed impossible, Xiahou Chun said, "Going to the Nine Heavens Mystical Realm is something many dream of, surely no one in the Sect will object."

Now that Xiahou Chun had agreed, the opinions of others no longer fell within her scope of consideration. She would leave those matters for him to handle! She called Flame One over and said, "Flame One, there is a matter for which I need to trouble you."

"Mistress, please give your command," Flame One said respectfully.

"Flame One, I have already discussed with Zi Xiao the relocation of the Alchemist Sect to the Nine Heavens Mystical Realm. Since you are the only one by my side who is familiar with that place, I’d like you to lead them there after they have packed up and to choose a place for their settlement," Dugu Qianye said.

"Your subordinate obeys!" Having said this, Flame One stepped back behind Dugu Qianye.

Dugu Qianye then said to Xiahou Chun, "He is the leader of the Flame Army. When you have finished packing, you can find him."

The leader of the Flame Army?!

Xiahou Chun and Green Emperor Xiahou, seeing Flame One’s respectful demeanor towards Dugu Qianye, realized he truly considered her as his mistress, or to put it another way, she had truly subdued them! The pride of the Flame Army was as renowned as their capabilities.

Upon confirming they really could relocate, the joy on Xiahou Chun’s face was clear to see. He stood up and gave Dugu Qianye a deep bow, saying, "On behalf of everyone in the Alchemist Sect, Xiahou Chun thanks the Young Mistress!"

Dugu Qianye instructed Xiahou Chun to stand up and said, "You should discuss with the others first, then pack everything and be ready to leave at any time."

"Master, you’re not coming with us?" asked Green Emperor Xiahou.

Dugu Qianye shook her head and replied, "I still have matters to attend to. Just follow Flame One, he will arrange everything for you. After Jian Fengxing wakes up, I’ll go to the secret chamber."

After that, Xiahou Chun and Green Emperor Xiahou went to discuss the relocation with the Sect elders, with Flame One following them. Dugu Qianye returned to Jian Yuezhi’s room to wait for him to awaken.

Not knowing how long he had slept, Jian Yuezhi awoke to find Dugu Qianye resting with her eyes closed in a chair. Blinking, he sat up from the bed.

Dugu Qianye looked at Jian Yuezhi; their eyes met in a silent exchange. Eventually, she was the first to break the silence, "Jian big brother, why did you follow? To capture me and take me back?"

Jian Yuezhi had remarked on her appearance before he lost consciousness, indicating he already knew that Dugu Qianye had not died!

He shook his head and said, "If I had come to capture you and take you back, I wouldn’t have come alone. So many couldn’t catch you, how could I possibly be your match?"

"Then why did you follow?" Dugu Qianye asked. Her taking the Gold Spiritual Bead and destroying the forbidden land was not a good thing for him as the Young Sect Master. If he wasn’t following her to capture her, then she couldn’t guess his purpose.

"I want to follow you!" Jian Yuezhi stated, looking at Dugu Qianye with determination.

"Follow me? Why?" Dugu Qianye inquired.

Jian Yuezhi called White Tiger out and said, "I first saw the White Tiger in the prison cell of the forbidden area; thus, I always knew what my father was up to. Before the contract, White Tiger told me that if I contracted with it, I would share its burden and work with it to maintain the stability of this world."
