Chapter 927: Chapter 585: If One Day I Marry, What Will You Do...

"Be quiet."

Lu Lin reached out, releasing a trace of Soul Power. The two disciples responsible for guarding immediately changed their expressions and stood respectfully aside.

"Master."

Lu Lin nodded, not even glancing at the two of them, and walked straight into the Wild Blade Clan in the mountains.

Just now, while he enslaved the two disciples, he also took the opportunity to probe their memories.

In this Wild Blade Clan, the one with the highest authority and strongest power is naturally Sect Master Li Xiaoci.

However, in recent years, Sun Xiaorui has risen forcefully, along with the support of Wang Chou, this Star King Expert. In terms of status, she is second only to the Sect Master.

Wang Chou, participating in such "sect management" activities for the first time, found himself quite interested.

He proactively helped Sun Xiaorui build connections.

Anyway, in the Wild Blade Clan, even Li Xiaoci isn’t his match. As for Wang Chou’s actions, he could only tolerate them with resignation.

The consequence of this is that within the sect, all the elders and stewards have become part of Sun Xiaorui’s faction.

Even the few genius figures who initially competed with Sun Xiaorui for the position of Junior Sect Leader had to submit to this.

Sun Xiaorui, though not the Sect Master in the Wild Blade Clan, was more influential in words than the Sect Master.

Naturally, her residence was arranged at the highest peak of Biluo Mountain within the Wild Blade Clan.

Lu Lin walked up step by step.

To avoid encountering the same situation as before, he chose to hide his presence and took a secluded path.

Night fell, and the full moon hung high.

Lu Lin arrived at Sun Xiaorui’s residence on the mountain top.

With a slight sense, he knew there was no one inside.

However, understanding Sun Xiaorui, she was a workaholic. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

She would not return to rest until the work was completed.

So he decided to wait.

This wait.

Took the whole night.

Seeing the dawn break on the horizon, and the cloud layer gradually lightening, Lu Lin finally realized.

Sun Xiaorui never returned that night.

Could something have happened to her?

Immediately, his Fourth-stage Transformation Soul Power instantly covered Biluo Mountain.

Yet there was no sign of Sun Xiaorui.

How is this possible?

The entire mountain was peaceful and calm, with no major incidents happening, Sun Xiaorui definitely wasn’t in danger.

Thus, it left only one possibility, Sun Xiaorui was not on the mountain at this moment.

Thinking of this, Lu Lin couldn’t help but chuckle bitterly. He had traveled a thousand miles, intending to give Sun Xiaorui a surprise, but she wasn’t there.

A passion transformed into Flowing Water.

Turning over the Message Conch, Lu Lin directly communicated with Sun Xiaorui.

"Sun Xiaorui, where are you now?"

At this moment.

Outside Jingzhou Mansion in Yishan Bieyuan.

Sun Xiaorui was caught in a dilemma.

Outside the room door, Li Xiaoci said anxiously, "Xiaorui, how could Master deceive you on such a matter?"

"The Thirteenth Prince has already spoken; if within one month you don’t give him a satisfactory answer, then all tens of thousands of disciples, elders, and their kin families of the entire Wild Blade Clan will perish."

"Xiaorui, this time, Master can only rely on you."

"I know you dislike that Thirteenth Prince."

"I know you have someone you like in your heart."

"But, for the tens of thousands of lives of our sect, Master begs you... please agree."

"This..."

Sun Xiaorui, firm in her mind, couldn’t help but waver upon hearing Li Xiaoci’s words.

This life, she completely abandoned memories of the past life; her previous personality no longer affected her.

Now, Sun Xiaorui was a woman cold and hard on the outside, yet soft and kind on the inside.

Though she was unwilling to marry that Thirteenth Prince Xiang Ruojun, she didn’t want her choice to result in countless relatives, disciples, and elders dying.

"Xiaorui, think back, when you first entered the sect, no one was optimistic about you; it was Elder Sun who gave you a book of cultivation insights from a strong person he obtained during his travels."

"Remember that time, your clan was almost wiped out by enemies. Over twenty brother disciples went down the mountain for you, driving away enemies, leading to three fatal casualties and twelve severely injured..."

"Thirty-two years ago, you encountered danger at the battlefield on the border of the Chu State and Heng Country; it was Zhao Youming, Elder Zhao, who burned his Star Power to protect you until the strong person safeguarding you arrived, yet he perished..."

"Four years ago, your junior brother’s military work was embezzled, but facing the Jingzhou Mansion’s powerful Ouyang Clan, the entire sect stood behind you, willing to enter the Ministry of Justice together, without compromising their hearts..."

"Now, some in the sect are already dead, some have no more potential for progress, some have physical disabilities, some live ordinary lives with their kin clans..."

"Everyone’s hope, destiny, future, is in your hands, Xiaorui. Master here is begging you, I beg you..."

Outside the door.

Li Xiaoci, moved to tears, couldn’t help but cry, feeling utterly weak as he sat on the ground.

After all, the Wild Blade Clan was the sect he had built with his own hands, reaching this stage through countless years of development.

Although his words were intended to persuade Sun Xiaorui, Li Xiaoci equally felt it deeply.

If one day, the Xi Chu Empire truly sought to eliminate his sect, what would he do?

However, now, his only wish is for Sun Xiaorui to see the situation clearly and marry the Thirteenth Prince as the princess.

As long as this relationship is established, he becomes the future emperor’s father-in-law.
