Chapter 976: The Alliance Master’s Teachings (21)

They came from Luo City but they were now going back.

They met some people from the pugilist world along the way but no one would have expected the Alliance Master Mansion to be hiding the Demonic Sect’s leader.

Th sect leader recovered from his injury quickly. After two days, he was able to get up and walk around.

“Alliance Master… why are we bringing him along?” Rong Li sat beside Ming Shu and glanced at the other side of the horse carriage.

“He gave me money.”

“…”

“Are you afraid of him?” Ming Shu smiled at him.

Who will be afraid of him?

“No… I am just worried that his status will cause trouble for us.”

“Oh.”

Rong Li looked at Ming Shu. Then, he turned and looked at the sect leader.

He grabbed Ming Shu’s sleeves lightly. “Alliance Master, I… I have something to tell you. Can you come out with me?”

The others were already some distance away from them, but since her little demon requested it, Ming Shu followed him.

They only stopped when they couldn’t see the others anymore. Ming Shu leaned against the tree.

“What’s the matter?”

Rong Li grabbed his hands. He didn’t speak for a long time.

He seemed to have made a decision during this time. He said softly, “Alliance Master, can you promise me that you won’t be angry?”

“Did you hang out with other women behind my back?” Ming Shu raised her voice.

“No.” Rong Li waved his hands. “I only love you.”

Daily confession.

“Oh, what is the matter then?”

“You… can you promise me that you won’t be angry…” Rong Li fully portrayed fear with his body and expression.

“Tell me what it is first.”

“Promise me that you won’t be angry and I will tell you.”

“Say it first.”

“Promise me…”

“Are you going to tell me? If you are not, I will leave.” Ming Shu pretended that she was going to leave.

Rong Li grabbed her. It was dark so he tripped while grabbing her and pushed Ming Shu against the tree.

Ming Shu grabbed his waist to prevent him from falling down.

“I will tell you. Don’t leave.”

“Fine. Please tell me then.”

“Actually…” Rong Li raised his head and looked at Ming Shu. He grabbed her hand. Then, he closed his eyes and said quickly, “I am from the royal family.”

“I know.”

Rong Li was shocked. “How… did you…”

“I saw your jade.” Ming Shu didn’t understand why people liked to wear things that could prove their identity on them. Most of the time, it was a jade pendant.

Rong Li touched the hard object around his waist. He opened his mouth but no words came out.

He looked at Ming Shu and noticed that she was not angry. He hugged her and explained, “I had a mission to enter the Alliance Master Mansion…”

Rong Li told Ming Shu everything that he knew.

He didn’t dare tell Ming Shu before this because he was afraid that his wife would beat him to death or chase him away.

If she kicked him away, he wouldn’t know where to look for her again.

But now…

Even if he got beaten, he would not be chased away.

[Lord Nine, are you not planning to do your task?] the system said softly.

Rong Li was hugging Ming Shu as he replied blatantly in his heart, I am doing my task.

[I meant the other task.] You are supposed to destroy the Demonic Sect and reign over the pugilist world!

All this is not as important as my wife. Shut up.

[…] I must lodged a complaint when I go back.

The emperor in this era was a useless one. There were rumors that people from the pugilist world wanted to overthrow the emperor.

Hence, the emperor decided to act first. He wanted to recruit the heroes of the pugilist world.

However, people from the pugilist world were not willing to serve the imperial court.

That was why this scheme came about.

The plan was to make the pugilist world and the Demonic Sect battle it out while the imperial court reaped the benefits.

Rong Li’s mission was to get first-hand information and sow discord between the pugilist world and the Demonic Sect.

In the original storyline, Rong Li was not the one that came. However, since his wife was here, he had to come.

During that time, the Alliance Master Mansion was looking for chefs so he managed to enter the Alliance Master Mansion.

In the storyline, the Demonic Sect was framed. The fake female protagonist helped to proved the innocence of the Demonic Sect, but the process took a long time.

Ming Shu asked her people to spread the news about the divine sword so the imperial court made use of it and sped up their plans.

That was why the situation was like this now.

“Are you not afraid of getting into trouble once you tell me the truth?”

Rong Li placed his head on her shoulder. “Alliance Master… you will protect me. I don’t want to lie to you. I feel hurt when I lie to you.”

“You are…”

Ming Shu looked up slightly. Her back was against the rough bark of the tree. One of her hands was on Rong Li’s waist while the other was on his neck.

Rong Li kissed her neck like a puppy.

“Alliance Master…”

Rong Li called her in a low voice.

Ming Shu grabbed his neck and made to pull him away. However, she stopped when she heard what he said.

“You are the most important person to me.”

No matter where you are.

No matter who you are and what you look like.

I don’t care if you remember me.

You will always be the most important person to me. I will only love you.

Ming Shu released her grip and allowed Rong Li to continue kissing her neck.

“Alliance Master, are you angry?”

Rong Li looked up carefully after a while.

“I will ask Steamed Bun how much it costs to hire an assassin later.” Ming Shu pushed him away and wiped the saliva off her neck. Is he a dog?

Rong Li was dumbfounded. “Alliance Master… you said that you will not be angry.”

“I didn’t.”

“I—I told you everything.”

“You were planning to use me.”

“I… didn’t… do anything at all. I swear that I didn’t do anything that would harm you. If I lie to you, I will get struck by lightning…”

Rumble—

A flash of lightning split the sky in two. It lit up Rong Li’s face. His face was pale.

Ming Shu smiled.

“… and die a terrible death,” he finished weakly.

F**k, is heaven trying to make fun of me?

Why must lightning strike at such a time?

Are you crazy?

Rumble—

Thunder started sounding again.

Hualalala—

Rain fell heavily from the sky. Ming Shu and Rong Li were drenched in an instant.

Rong Li looked down. He was wondering whether Ming Shu was angry or not. If she was, he had to placate her.

The rain falling on him suddenly got thinner. Rong Li looked up. Ming Shu was raising a huge piece of leaf above his head.

“Why are you looking at me. Take it.”

Rong Li took the leaf in a daze. It was big enough to cover his entire body.

Ming Shu stepped onto the grass and walked back.

Hualala—

Rong Li followed Ming Shu in a flurry. He placed the leaf above Ming Shu’s head.

“Are you an idiot?”

“No…” Rong Li’s voice was almost drowned out by the sound of the rain.

Ming Shu: “…”

She reached over and pulled him closer. The two of them walked under the leaf together. Although they were still getting splattered by the rain, their heads were dry.

“Are you still angry?”

“What do you think?”

“Will you chase me away?”

“If you speak any more, I will leave you here.”

“…”

No more voices could be heard. There was only the sound of rain.

“Alliance Master, I like you.”

Hualala—

Ming Shu looked at the faint lights ahead and replied inaudibly, “… I see.”
