Immortality? Nah, I choose to marry instead!

40  Fear of being silenced

Leona's eyes looked coldly at Shenshah, who was embracing onto Xenia tenderly.

 "Hey, hey... embrace each other tightly as this will be your last time." n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

 "Perhaps, you can consider this my last good will, Xenia, with your excellent physique the elders will be very pleased."

 "It is almost a sure fact that you will be raised as a saintess."

  "It's sad that you seem to have lost your chastity last night which may cause a little delay in practicing the core ice cultivation technique of our sect, but it's okay…. as long as you don't have any physical contact with the opposite gender in the future, everything should be fine.

Leona was already imagining how much rewards she would reap once she successfully brings Xenia back to the sect.

Although Shenshah's cultivation of the late 8th stage of qi gathering took her aback for a second, it was still within tolerable limits.

Maybe this boy got some fortuitous encounter or may have been fed lots of elixirs by his master.

She already believed that he will definitely send Xenia back with her as only the ice sect is willing to treat Xenia's broken legs and can let her be reborn like a phoenix.

All the tender moments between the couple in front of her meant nothing.

In her eyes, as long as the benefits are good, who won't be willing to enjoy the auspicious wine?

 "Also, I will pay you 200 high grade spirit stones as a compensation from the sect, as I hardly think you will be able to see your wife again in future."

-Leona spoke arrogantly to Shenshah without caring about anything.

She was only at the early 8th stage of qi gathering but the arrogance in her bones were full to the extreme.

 If Shenshah's cultivation was not higher than her, then she wouldn't even bother this chit-chat and have long forcefully taken Xenia with her.

But Shenshah's next words were bound to incite her anger,

 "Who said that Xenia will leave?"

 "Didn't you hear what this girl said?"

 "Xenia just now said that she is not interested in your so-called ice sect nor in any saintess you guys plan to make her."

 "Youuuuuu!"

 "Do you want to go against the Ice Sect?"

  Leona screamed in anger, her patience was already nearing its limit.

 "You can never give her what she truly deserves!"

 "You are wasting her time, her potential, her everything because of your selfishness."

 Leona exclaimed loudly.

"Don't keep saying the same things again and again!"

 "I am saying this for the last time: she is not going anywhere!"

 My attitude was firm.

I could feel it, impressed by my domineering words, Xenia's face was already blushing red. In order to hide it, she had already hidden her head in my arms.

I patted her head before separating from her, getting up from my knees, I gently pushed her wheelchair towards Saharika, signaling her from the corner of my eyes.

Understanding my intent, Saharika took Xenia's wheelchair to her side and stood far away from Leona warily.

Just when I felt Leona was about to lose her temper, I broke the silence.

 "Let me show you something before you dare bark again."

 Under Leona's strong gaze, I took out the personal disciple token Shao Shao had given me.

 "You see what this is?"

 "It's the personal disciple token the famous weapon maker Shao Shao had given me."

"I tell you, she is just a few distance away from us. If you dare take any action against me or anyone present here, I will instantly call her and let her punish you."

 "Do you think she will let her only personal disciple accept such a humiliation of his wife being robbed of?"

 -There was a sneer on my face, my words, without a doubt, caught Leona off-guard.

 'The famous craftswoman Shao Shao?…..That proud woman from the bunny tribe who is famous throughout the first 100 floors of the tower? Wait, not to forget she got some damn annoying connections with lots of important people.'

 'Plus, her ranking is also in the top 200, unless I call for a backup, I am no match for such a strong woman.'

 Unable to hide her surprise, she got close and snatched the disciple token from Shenshah's hands.

She held it for at least 10 minutes before returning it back.

With her rich experience, she was sure the token was damn real.

She was perplexed, How can this boy be a personal disciple of that infamous weapon maker?

 'Shit! What should I do now?'

 'This was never something I never expected, should I give up and return to the sect?'

 'But it's not easy to come back to the lower floors and those bossy elders will definitely scold me for failing the task.'

Bringing Xenia back to the sect was a very important task entrusted to the outer as well as inner sect's disciples.

For some reason, because of bribing a broker, she was able to find Xenia's whereabouts and took the lead in coming to the second floor.

Why? Because the reward being offered was very tempting.

But now…..

On one side was her arrogant sect and on the other side that famous weapon maker's reputation.

"Are you still not leaving?"

 "Or I call my master here?"

 "If she comes here, I can't guarantee your life, you better think about it."

 My words were full of confidence.

I have to admit my identity as Shao Shao's only personal disciple was really powerful.

"No! No!….There's no need to call anyone, I will leave immediately."

Without waiting for Shenshah to speak any more words, Leona hurriedly left Shenshah's house.

She was not willing to see Shao Shao.

What if Shenshah has a change of heart and bitterly complains about her to his master?

Then, enraged by her actions, who knows if Shao Shao would directly kill her?

You know, from ancient times, the best way to avoid future troubles from developing is to silence the people involved.

She had already imagined that to prevent the news that Xenia was staying here, she might be directly silenced by Shao Shao.

Against Shenshah, she still has some confidence, but against a top 200 ranker?…She knows her limit, it's better to run away.

 'Leave it! I will contact those stinky elders and tell them about the situation here, I am sure they will never see a talent like Xenia rot here. You just wait Shenshah, with a strong backer, I will return in no time. After all, my Ice sect is the sixth ranked sect in the entire tower. If we seriously want someone, even that proud Shao Shao can't keep you!'

-Leona quickly thought about a counterattack. She was hell-bent on taking Xenia along with her.
