Chapter 2458: Chapter 2458: It’s Your Blessing That the Patriarch Fancies You!

Niall Sinclair’s face changed, he protested, "I already agreed to go back with you, you can’t do this..."

The old man’s face was sinister, "We’ve been waiting here for so long, just to see who is conspiring with you. If we don’t get the results, the Sect Master will blame me. Do you think it’s easier for me to kill an ant-like mortal, or to return and face the Sect Master’s wrath?"

Niall Sinclair showed a struggling expression on his face, "She and I have nothing to do with each other, she just helped me find a place..."

The old man sneered, "Aren’t you merciful and grateful? Fine, if you don’t speak, not only that old lady, but everyone who has ever met you or talked to you will die today. I will make them die in front of you, let’s see if your conscience can pass this test!"

Niall Sinclair’s face suddenly changed, he angrily rebuked, "Shameless!"

The old man said coldly, "You can choose not to speak, anyway, they are just a bunch of ants, dead then dead."

Niall Sinclair gritted his teeth, staring fiercely at the old man, his eyes blazing, the old man was unmoved, responding with a sneer.

A few seconds later, the old man raised his hand and slowly spoke, "It seems you are not as kind-hearted as you imagined..."

"Wait!"

Niall Sinclair shouted, facing the old man’s indifferent gaze, helplessly said, "Sea God Church Holy Son, Lorvian Randall."

The old man’s face slightly changed, he lowered his hand, "Why is he helping you, does he like you?"

Niall Sinclair shook his head, "Friend."

The young man next to them couldn’t help but interject, "Friend? What man wouldn’t have thoughts about you and want to be your friend?"

Niall Sinclair said calmly, "We teamed up once during a Secret Realm expedition, fought together. I helped him back then, he said he owed me a favor, so I sent him a message asking him to help me escape."

The young man sneered, "Why don’t you escape on your own?"

Niall Sinclair answered, "I can’t fight, otherwise you would sense it. Traveling alone is inconvenient and easily leads to accidents, I don’t want any surprises..." 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Speaking of this, Niall Sinclair showed a bitter smile, "I originally thought I was careful enough, but didn’t expect you to find me long ago... How did you find me?"

The old man coldly smiled, "The Sect Master suspected you were disloyal for a while, so he employed a little technique. Whether you stay on Star River Island or escape to the ends of the earth, we would still find you."

Niall Sinclair frowned, thought for a moment, then suddenly reached up, pulled out the hairpin from his head, looked at it, and snapped it directly. A glow burst out in the middle and quickly dissipated into the air.

Niall Sinclair’s face became quite unsightly, "She has been bought by you as well?"

The old man replied with a calm tone, "She is an Abyssal Sect disciple, the Sect Master ordered, isn’t she supposed to comply? Do you think everyone is like you, ignoring sect rules and deciding to defect at will?"

Niall Sinclair said coldly, "Why would I defect, don’t you know the reason? Would you accept it if you were in my place?"

The old man was silent for two seconds, "The Old Ancestor has taken an interest in you, it’s your fortune. As long as you agree, you will rise steadily from then on, and get as many cultivation resources as you want..."

Niall Sinclair sneered, "Yet I call him ’Old Ancestor’, and he wants to dual cultivate with me and make me his pathist couple, doesn’t he feel shame? Does the Abyssal Sect have no shame at all?"

The old man evidently couldn’t answer this question, he changed the topic, "Are you really not romantically involved with Lorvian Randall?"

Niall Sinclair sneered, "What, you’ve waited here for so long hoping to catch the person coming to support me, worried about me having romantic involvement with someone so that you can catch them, kill them to break my spirit, or use them as a bargaining chip to threaten me into agreeing to your terms?"

The old man frowned, "You just need to answer, yes or no?"

"No."

Niall Sinclair said coldly, "I just asked him for help because the Sea God Church folks are all over North Sea, he is the Saint Heir, sending people to pick me up shouldn’t be difficult, that’s all."

The old man sighed with relief, although the Abyssal Sect is strong, it certainly cannot match the Sea God Sect. Lorvian Randall is the Saint Heir of the Sea God Sect, of noble status, not someone they can just kill or catch at will.

If Niall Sinclair and Lorvian Randall had romantic involvement, this matter would become troublesome. Even if they tie Niall Sinclair back and force her to agree to become the Old Ancestor’s pathist couple, if Lorvian Randall comes looking for trouble afterward, how would they deal with it?

Now that Niall Sinclair herself denies any romantic involvement, things become much easier.

It’s merely a favor, they can find a way to return it later, it has nothing to do with personal life.

"Alright, you can report it like this to the Sect Master when you return."

The old man didn’t continue to be hard on Niall Sinclair, considering her special status. If she agrees, her status within the sect will soar in the future. If she makes the Old Ancestor happy, who would dare provoke her?

If they rashly offend her now, they can’t guarantee she won’t later use the Old Ancestor’s hand to pay them back.

Niall Sinclair at this moment was already heartbroken, she knew once she was taken back, regardless of whether she agreed or not, she would never regain her freedom.

After all, she thought things were simpler than they really were, the Old Ancestor has his eyes on her, how would he let her escape easily?
