Chapter 119: Disloyal, Unkind, and Unjust; Ashamed to Sit Together!
"What is this? Did you poison me?" Tian Yue exclaimed, feeling a heat rising throughout her body, her heart racing and her mind clouded. She instinctively tried to use Fighting Spirit to expel and suppress it, but unfortunately, it had no effect.
"You foul woman, you've been poisoned by me. Don't even think about using Fighting Spirit to suppress it; otherwise, it will explode even more violently!" the Poison Master mocked.
"How dare you call me a foul woman! Hmph, if you give me the antidote, I can pretend this never happened!" Tian Yue forced herself to calm down despite her anger.
"Oh? You want the antidote? Fine, come catch me and I'll give it to you!" the Poison Master said before turning and running away.
"You two continue to chase Tianxin and Celestial Spirit. They bear the mark of the Celestial Maiden; unless they... otherwise, within thousands of miles, you will surely be able to lock onto their location," Tian Yue instructed before leaping forward to pursue the Poison Master, unaware that this was part of the Poison Master's plan to deepen the poison's effects.
"Yes, Aunt." The two young girls then turned to Shiheng and said, "You two won't stop us, will you?"
"No, guests are welcome. Please go ahead," Shiheng replied calmly. These two girls and Celestial Spirit were all Tian Yue's nieces and nephews, with cultivation levels of only three or four stars as Demon Lords. If Shiheng, a Five-Star Battle Sovereign, truly wanted to make things difficult for them, they would have no way out.
"Thank you." They hurried off to chase after Tianxin and Celestial Spirit.
"If I had known this was Young Master's scheme, I wouldn't have been so heavy-handed; it caused the Xiao Brothers such serious injuries," Shiheng said helplessly.
"No, this is what Young Master intended. If the play isn't thorough enough, how can we make those two girls truly give up?" Lin Tingting said slyly. "Didn't Young Master also entrust the Poison Master to deliver the Life Essence Elixir? You can rest assured. Who knows, in a few years, the Xiao Brothers might even thank you."
"Young Master's plan is quite broad. I wonder if this Tian Yue has also been included in Young Master's calculations," Shiheng said with admiration.
"Heavenly Desire Elixir; what a beautiful flower about to be pushed by a pig," Lin Tingting said helplessly.
"Alright then, Tingting, let's head back," Shiheng said resignedly; he really didn't know how to continue on this topic.
"Okay, let's go back," Lin Tingting nodded in agreement.
"Young Master." Upon returning to Galaxy City, they went directly to the main hall of the city lord's mansion and respectfully said.
"En. What happened?" Yang Chen asked.
"When my subordinate chased to the city, I found that there was already an insider assisting them. Just as I was about to pursue, the three from the Heavenly Maiden Sanctuary came out," Shi Heng said.
"Why didn't you continue to chase?" Tian Ying said coldly.
"The Fighting Saint Expert arrived, and the three disciples from the Heavenly Maiden Sanctuary also appeared. If I didn't come back, would you have me continue chasing? Who knows if it was your Heavenly Maiden Sanctuary's plan to lure me away!" Shi Heng said indifferently. "Besides, what I do is not something for you, Senior, to instruct me on."
"Hmph! A tiger? With you? If I truly wanted to kill your Young Master, would it matter if you came back? It would just be a death wish," Tian Ying said disdainfully.
"Dare you?" Shi Heng glanced at Yi Tianzheng, who nodded slightly in appreciation, then uttered those three words. "Dare you? Dare you!" These words struck like a loud slap on Tian Ying's face.
"You, hmph! If I don't show you some color today, you'll never know..."
"Cough cough." Yi Tianzheng's gentle cough interrupted Tian Ying's next words. "Tian Ying, why bother arguing with this junior?" Hearing this, Tian Ying slowly calmed her anger and said coldly, "Your master hasn't spoken; what right do you have to shout here?"
"Oh? Your master hasn't spoken either; what are you shouting about?" Shi Heng retorted.
"You!" The anger that Tian Ying had finally calmed was once again stirred by Shi Heng. Her furious eyes fixed on him but she dared not act due to Yi Tianzheng's presence.
"It seems I am reporting matters to my Young Master; are you interrupting? As a guest, this behavior is truly unkind! Usurping the host's authority and questioning them is indeed unjust! Your master hasn't spoken yet, and you're speaking first; this is disloyal! Such disloyalty and injustice make it shameful for me to sit with you," Shi Heng stated one by one, then respectfully addressed Yang Chen. "Young Master, I am ashamed to sit with such a person; therefore, I request to take my leave!"
Yang Chen was about to speak when Tian Ying angrily said, "You can't leave!"
"Hmph, usurping the host's authority is unkind and unjust," Shi Heng said without looking back, his tone full of disdain.
Tian Ying wanted to say something more but was stopped by Tian Mingyue, who said, "The Shadow Kill Camp members all have sharp tongues." This time, Shi Heng did not speak because he had no right to converse with Tian Mingyue.
Yang Chen smiled slightly and said, "This is my Shadow Kill Camp's Chief Commander, Brave Earl Shi Heng. Next to him is my Shadow Kill Camp's Deputy Commander Proud Hero Berin Tingting. Although they call me Young Master, their ranks are higher than mine. Therefore, within the Shadow Kill Camp and in the Empire towns, they can act without needing my approval." Yang Chen encouraged Shi Heng with a glance, indicating he should continue; this statement was meant to affirm his position as the master.
Tian Mingyue and Yi Tianzheng both subtly nodded in agreement. Yi Tianzheng's eyes were filled with satisfaction while Tian Mingyue wore a complex expression.
"I cannot represent Shadow Kill Camp, so whatever I say or do cannot represent the other brothers of Shadow Kill Camp. Do you understand what I mean, Saintess?" Shi Heng said again.
"I understand. Since you cannot represent Shadow Kill Camp, then you should step aside and let me speak with your Young Master," Tian Mingyue pressed on. If Shi Heng stepped aside, he would have to admit that he was disloyal.
"Saintess, you are mistaken. I believe you misunderstood my meaning. What I do cannot represent Shadow Kill Camp, but what I say can represent Shadow Kill Camp," Shi Heng replied calmly.
"As a superior, one’s actions should naturally serve as a model for subordinates," Tian Mingyue stated.
"Unfortunately, we are a group of soldiers who live by the sword; it is impossible for us to deliberately imitate someone else. That is human nature. I wonder if Heavenly Maiden Sanctuary is the same as us?" Shi Heng countered.
"That is naturally different; otherwise, it would not deserve the title of a holy place," Tian Mingyue said with a slight frown. Soldiers live by the sword; you cannot expect a butcher to imitate the behavior of an emperor.
"Then does that mean everyone in Heavenly Maiden Sanctuary is like Saintess, pure and noble? Ethereal and transcendent?"
Shi Heng continued, "If not, how can it be considered different from us mortals? How can it still be called a holy place?"
Tian Mingyue frowned slightly and said, "For Inner Sect Disciples, the standards of the holy place are indeed strict. However, there are some stubborn disciples who are expelled to the inner sect, yet we cannot bear to see them fall, so they are counted as Outer Sect Disciples. Once an Outer Sect Disciple is expelled, they can no longer represent the holy place."
"That is true; no one is perfect. So does that mean Inner Sect Disciples can embody the appearance of the holy place?" Shi Heng asked again.
"That is naturally so."
