Chapter 209: Chapter 208: Kirin, You Don’t Love The Holy Saint too, Do You?

Chapter 208: Kirin, You Don’t Love The Holy Saint too, Do You?

There was a slight heaviness in the tone of Night Crow’s voice.

He originally thought that the only girl who might be fighting against the Empress for the love of the Demon Sect Holy Saint is the Holy Saint Junior Sister, the Demon Sect Holy Maiden, Bai Xiaoyao.

Just like the Empress, Bai Xiaoyao is a cultivator whose beauty is famously known to the wider world, it’s often said that her beauty is rivalling, or even surpassing, the Empress’s own.

Furthermore, unlike the Empress who are famous for being strict and regal, the Holy maiden is quite famed to be someone who is like an imp, both mischievous and like to tease man, making them putty in her hand.

Only after watching the Holy Saint for several long weeks did Night Crow realized that the Holy Saint seemed to have no intention of changing his relationship with Bai Xiaoyao from Martial Sibling to Dao Companion, which made him think that the Empress still have a good chance of shagging the Holy Saint for herself.

But now, the situation has changed again.

Setting aside his Junior Sister, the Holy Saint seems to have a rather close relationship with both the famed top courtesan of the Red Blossom Pavilion, the number one brothel of the Immortal Nation, and an unknown sword cultivator, whose beauty surpassed the Empress herself.

Moreover, according to multiple sources, the sword cultivator girl and the Demon Sect’s Holy Saint showed extremely intimate behavior within the inn yesterday!

However, even though this information was something that he had heard multiple times before, more often than not coming from an innkeeper who talked to their customer about it, he also ordered for the information about the sword cultivator to be found.

As for why, it’s because this sword cultivator who suddenly appeared should be the strongest love rival for the Empress.

And considering that both the Holy Saint and the sword cultivator disappeared at the same time, no one knows what kind of thing they are up to.

If they disappeared just for a single day, then it won’t be a problem, but if they still can’t be found after multiple days…

There is a chance that the Empress would lose.

Yes, it is imperative to find the Demon Sect’s Holy Saint as soon as possible.

Night Crow felt the weight of his mission in his heart.

So he looked at Kirin, who was examining the new information.

This current information only consisted of some updated information of the rumour that are publicly spread from one person to another in the Royal City

It was said that they were spread by passersby who happened to pass by the inn yesterday, usually, he would have tried to dig deeper into these rumours and find out who spread it, But Night Crow was too busy to pay attention to who these passersby were at the moment. Plus, although these rumors exaggerated the events a bit, they were mostly true, so there wasn’t much to be concerned about.

Now, Night Crow planned to use this information to test the reaction of his colleague, to see if she would join him and Wutong in their “Help The Empress Get Laid Plan”.

…Hmm, the name of this plan might need to be changed in the future.

’Looking at Kirin reaction… It seems she should be interested too?’

As expected of the girl who spent the most amount of time with the Holy Saint, being the first to pay attention to the Demon Sect’s Holy Saint, she, like himself, also…

“Do you have nothing else to do?”

At this moment, Kirin raised her head slightly, her voice cold, “If I remember correctly, the Empress only tasked you with finding the whereabouts of the Demon Sect’s Holy Saint alongside gathering intelligence on the Netherkin Nation who are perhaps still in hiding inside the Royal City, why are you doing this when you have that kind of important mission on your belt?”

There was a gleam of danger in her eyes, anyone who noticed it would talk carefully, else they would feel her wrath,

Unfortunately, Night Crow did not notice this, just paused slightly.

Then, as if realizing something, he nodded his head in realization.

“Um, I didn’t explain it clearly just now. Let me put it this way—”

“You see how the Empress are with the Holy Saint right? Don’t you think they look great as Dao Companion?”

Out of trust in his good colleague, Night Crow’s words were quite straightforward.

“…”

Kirin remained silent for a moment.

She began to wonder if this guy in front of her had spent too much time doing missions and had his brain finally gone bad.

“I don’t care.”

The coldness in her voice was now replaced by a hint of chill as Kirin crumpled the paper in her hand and tossed it up.

The paper turned into ash in an instant, then she moved past Night Crow and went to the table, casually flipping through several sealed letters.

Night Crow scratched his head.

Why was the reaction of this good colleague of his not quite as expected? Didn’t she always admire the Demon Sect’s Holy Saint? Even this time, she took the initiative to take on the task of finding the Demon Sect’s Holy Saint…

Suddenly, a flash of realization crossed his mind.

“Kirin… you wouldn’t happen to also like the Demon Sect’s Holy Saint, would you?”

Thinking of the numerous women surrounding the Demon Sect’s Holy Saint and then looking at his colleague, who had been in contact with the Demon Sect’s Holy Saint even earlier than himself, Night Crow suddenly felt that this possibility was not nonexistent.

But Kirin’s icy gaze fell on him.

In that moment, she synchronized her memories to her Imperial Alter Ego, and by night, Night Crow would find his workload tripled.

Then Kirin looked towards the horizon outside the door.

She already had a new plan in mind for finding Luo Wusheng.

The next moment, her figure disappeared.

Left with nothing but a cold glare, Night Crow had a bad premonition…

…

In a secluded mountain, several young men and women dressed in Taoist robes stood at the summit.

Behind them, a black void about the size of a person slowly closed.

There was a hint of excitement on the faces of the young men and women.

“Uaaah~ After cultivating in the cave for so many years, we finally have the opportunity to participate in the Human Immortal List and go to the Royal City, I can’t wait!”

“I heard that the Demon Sect’s Holy Maiden will also participate in this competition. I wonder how the Demon Sect’s techniques fare when faced with ours.”

“Cough, the competition has not yet begun, let’s not think about the competition and enjoy the scenery, by the way, do you know who from our Sect’s Nascent Soul Realm cultivator is leading us this time?”

As soon as someone spoke, laughter came from behind.

“Hehehe~ I accidentally overheard it from my Master, it’s a disciple whom I never thought I would ever meet.”

As the smallest among them finished speaking, he felt the surrounding gazes converge on him, and he couldn’t help but speak loudly:

“It’s Chief Disciple Ji! The unparalleled genius ranked at the top in all of our Taoist Sect history, this generation’s Chief Disciple, Ji Yanyao!”

As soon as his word left his mouth, there was silence.

The expressions of the people around them were either stunned or suspicious.

But in the next moment, another void opened beside them.

However, unlike before, this void was not pitch black but emitted a dazzling golden light.

A figure of a girl stepped out of the void.

The girl’s beauty was as breathtaking as the Immortal Nation Empress, with a demeanor as calm as a still water, she looked like a Goddess who had descended from heaven, untainted by the mortal world.

Her gaze, tinged with a hint of golden light, swept over the people in front of her.

’Is it really her? Ji Yanyao, the Chief Disciple who entered the Nascent Soul Realm at the age of 20—!’

The faces of the young men and women changed, filled with surprise and endless admiration.

She was the benchmark for all the disciples of their Taoist Sect in this generation!

They never expected that she would be the one to lead them to the Human Immortal List!

The mood of the participating disciple soared high to the sky.

In this Human Immortal List, they couldn’t disgrace Chief Disciple Ji’s reputation. They had to demonstrate the majesty of their Taoist Sect, the spirit of their Taoist Sect, and— huh?

As the excited crowd came back to their senses, they suddenly saw their Chief Disciple casually tossing out something.

Then, the figure of this Taoist Sect genius disappeared without a trace.

— Chief Disciple Ji teleported away!?

Why did she leave!? Isn’t she our guide!?

Chief Disciple Ji, did you forget to take us with you!?
