Chapter 127 Bro Code
"Alright, let's go back to the rest," Sect Master Liu called out before Xuefeng could even think about how to handle the situation.
"Wait, so we are not going to train now?" Xuefeng asked confused. "I got a year to reach the peak of the Celestial Stage and Master doesn't plan to teach me anything?"
"The House of Dragons can help you with various resources, but when it comes to Arts, I think you already have someone better than us to direct you," Sect Master Liu replied casually. "You already seem to know more Forbidden Arts than me, so it is better if she teaches you."
"You are talking about me?"
A sudden female voice came out from Xuefeng's side and he saw Ming lean over to him, hugging his arm.
Sect Master Liu stopped walking when he saw her and bowed his head, "Yes Miss Ming. I'm sorry for being rude and not greeting you before. My daughter told me about you when we talked earlier.'
"I see," Ming nodded with a smile. "Don't worry, I don't care about you enough, so any formalities don't matter. All I care about is my Xuefeng. I want him to get the best possible treatment which is why I appeared."
Sect Master Liu raised his eyebrows. "Is Miss trying to overrule the deal I just made with Xuefeng?"
"I'm not trying to overrule anything. In one year, you won't be strong enough to force Xuefeng into following you anyway," Ming replied with a shrug, wearing a confident smirk on her face.
If it was Xuefeng, Sect Master Liu would already burst out laughing but when the words came out of Ming's mouth, he treated it completely different.
"Seeing Miss so confident actually makes me excited. Will I go into history as a Master of Xuefeng and not my own name?" Sect master Liu wondered.
"Anyway, we both know how hard it will be so I wish Xuefeng has access to the House of Dragon Treasury and the Arts Library. I will make good use of those," Ming demanded, finally bringing a smile from Sect Master Liu.
"Well, that will depend if he is worthy. To gain access one must be strong enough and pass the test. We will see when we get there."
"Fine, works for us," Ming agreed before turning to Xuefeng who just waited patiently as the two talked. She didn't care about Sect Master Liu and kissed him shamelessly.
"Don't worry, we will make it in time," Ming assured before sinking into his body in the middle of another kiss.
"You are really lucky to have attracted a Fate Spirit like this," Sect Master Liu reminded. "Don't waste her potential."
Saying that he walked away first, leaving Xuefeng to his own thoughts.
'I feel like I'm a sheep being led to the right path by all of you,' Xuefeng muttered helplessly and the girls didn't even deny it to cheer him up.
'You are our baby just as you are our man,' Ling commented to which she could only sigh. He wanted to be the one to take care of his wives, not the other way around.
'I fucked up first, so the least I can do is work hard and make it happen,' Xuefeng decided as he jumped, flying back to catch up with Sect Master Liu.
'And this is why we love you,' Ming added lovingly. 'If you don't put effort, I will be the one who beat you up first.'
Gulp.
Xuefeng swallowed, not even wanting to imagine how painful that would feel.
As soon as they got close, Golden Queen questioned curiously, "Did you reach an agreement?"
"Yes, we got a deal with each other. He has to reach the peak of the Celestial Stage within a year. After a year, I will take him to my Master so he can face him just as he wishes," Sect Master Liu explained, causing the Golden Queen to freeze.
"Wait, one year? Are you crazy?" Golden Queen asked with a frown, getting colder with each word. "Didn't we agree that you will let him be? We both know how strong is your Master. Xuefeng doesn't stand a chance after just one year! At least give him five!"
Her cry caused Nuwa and Tianshi to realize something was wrong.
"Xuefeng, what is going on?" Nuwa asked sternly, not even bothering to touch his mind. "What did you agree on?"
Xuefeng couldn't help but sweat as his wives pierced him with their gazes. Sect Master Liu seemed to be the same, rubbing the back of his head.
"Look… Xuefeng wanted one year, so I gave him one year. I only agreed because it works out perfectly. I can contact my Master and negotiate one year for Xuefeng. If I ask for more, my Master won't agree and will instead try to hunt him down by himself," Sect Master Liu explained.
Seeing that Golden Queen frown lessened, Sect Master Liu brightened and added, "This way, Xuefeng gets to train in peace without much disturbance and I then meet my Master after a year. He needs to fight him anyway to collect the Elemental Stones my Master already collected. This solution is the best, right Xuefeng?"
He glanced at Xuefeng, his gaze begging for assistance. He was like his brother in arms, fighting against the men's worst nemesis.
A wife.
Xuefeng smiled awkwardly and nodded, "That's right. It is exactly how we discussed. Even if it will be hard for me, this is the safest solution."
'Shameless!' Ming and Ling called out in his mind but Xuefeng ignored it, knowing very well he lied. He was doing it as a fellow brother at war.
At his confirmation, Golden Queen relaxed, rubbing her husband's cheek. "I see. That's good. I was scared my Husband forced you into such an awful deal. I would definitely beat him up if that was the case."
Sect Master Liu breathed a sigh of relief, trying to smile together with her but he seemed to know how close to a disaster he was.
Compared to the relaxed Golden Queen, Xinyu and the girls were still worried. It was indeed an awful deal.
"How confident are you?"
