The Steward Demonic Emperor

by proxy he would get all the demonic treasures and an elite candidate.

 

[Hu Mei’er died, but he would get three demonic treasures.
It’s totally worth it!]

 

[The hell with mending hearts? Look how perverted the second elder is? Do you see any hurt on his face?]

 

The whole sect knew just how close he was to his female disciples.
[Since one died, he’d just get another.]

 

[Take the mending and stuff it where the sun doesn’t shine!]

 

All elders and venerables were outraged, moving from Venerable Shi to second elder.
The latter was even roaming his creepy eyes over Yue’er’s body. 

 

Even nodding now and then.

 

Yue Ling panicked.
Any female disciple knew of the second elder’s tastes.

 

Yue Ling feared her sister would fall to his poison and would end up the same way as her predecessor.

 

“You’re wrong, Venerable Shi.”

 

A middle-aged man in white smiled, “In the inner sect competition, there are no grudges.
Once you step on the ring, emotions have no place, with life and death settled on a whim.
We are elders and venerables, accustomed to our disciples’ fate so how could we care for them? Second elder’s perverted tastes have been going on for centuries now, yet it just so happened that today he has changed? Venerable Shi, letting him have this doll is an insult to the rest of us!”

 

Venerable Shi squinted.

 

Second elder glared.

 

The man glossed over and chuckled, “While my disciple, Yue Ling, is her sister.
By having them work together, their future will be limitless, achieving glory in the Double Dragon Gathering!”

 

“Venerable Bai, are you fighting me over a disciple?” Second elder’s hawk-eyes stared back.

 

Venerable Bai waved his hand, “Can you even fight? I only care about the sect’s future and speak facts.
The sisters will help each other and thereby, the sect.”

 

“Why you…” Second elder was fuming.

 

Venerable Shi said, “Venerable Bai, you’re a venerable yet you would fight an elder? “

 

“He-he-he, do you mean I can’t? Venerable Shi, aren’t you always doing it?” This was a naked taunt.

 

Everyone saw a thin elderly in a plain robe poking fun at Venerable Shi. 

 

Venerable Shi snorted, “Venerable Qi, you too?”

 

“Of course, it is my responsibility to look out for our disciples’ future.” Venerable Qi stuck out his chest and annoyed the hell out of Venerable Shi.

 

Xie Wuyue snickered inside.

 

[Venerable Qi and Venerable Bai are third and fourth in line of authority.
The two together can hold Venerable Shi back.]

 

They all had no care for each other, until now.
Since Venerable Shi and Grand Elder allied, they considered everyone beneath them, taking what they pleased and setting up their disciples into becoming elites. 

 

While eliminating all obstacles and in turn getting on these two venerables’ bad side.

 

Their disciples, Kui Lang and Yue Ling, were demoted to laborers.
But with Gui Hu always picking fights with their other disciples and killing them, they knew the two were after their share.

 

Left with no other choice, they used their two disciples’ credit in the Labor Office to get them back.

 

Venerable Shi had always pushed back Venerable Qi and Venerable Bai.

 

But now at last, someone stood up to these greedy bastards!

 

Xie Wuyue grinned, “Enough squabbling.
I know everyone wants a talent to nurture, but did you ever stop to think to ask the person herself? Wasting a talent like her is damaging to the sect!”

 

Everyone nodded and turned to Yue’er, eager to be her master.

 

Xie Wuyue said, “As an inner disciple, you have to have a master’s guidance.
Speak now, who will be your guide?”

 

Yue’er roamed her eyes over the oldies and their hypocritical smiles, lost on who to pick.

 

Yue Ling was giving her obvious hints from the side.
[Pick Venerable Bai!]

 

“If you don’t want to die, go back to the Labor Office!”

 

An aged voice entered her ear, “Three months of training should’ve let you know that the strong never ask for anything.”

 

Yue’er shuddered and turned to the blade in her hand and her eyes lit up.
With a bow she said, “Sect Leader, please send me back to the Labor Office!”

 

[Say what?!]

 

Everyone was slack jawed…
