Chapter 28: Yue Yao’s Anger
“This girl is so sincere to him, absolutely can’t let her enter the Dao sect.”
Yue Yao had been secretly observing, although she was confident in herself, she didn’t like other women around Zhang Yi since he confessed to her.
“Zhang Yi, you have already entered the path of love. Your teacher wants to see how you handle it.” Yue Yao murmured softly.
At the entrance of the Dao sect, Zhang Yi looked at the affectionate Shen Chenyu and felt a headache. Why couldn’t she just be the dignified royal princess of Great Zhou Empire? Why did she have to stick to him so persistently?
“I can only take her back to Great Zhou myself, and while I’m there, I can inquire Zhang Wufeng about that place.”
Zhang Yi made up his mind and without hesitation, he grabbed Shen Chenyu’s arm, ready to leave.
But just as his hand touched Shen Chenyu’s arm, the Heavenly Fate Map suddenly started spinning rapidly, causing Zhang Yi to have a bad feeling. “Is the Heavenly Fate Map trying to trick me again?”
Meanwhile, Shen Chenyu looked at Zhang Yi with a lovestruck expression, full of expectation.
The Heavenly Fate Map was rapidly flipping through pages and finally landed on Shen Chenyu’s page, revealing her task.
[ Task: Let Shen Chenyu become a disciple of Yue Yao. ]
[ Reward: Eight Heavenly Fate Boxes and five fragments of the Great Dao. ]
[ Punishment: Impotence for life. ]
[ Deadline: One month. ]
Zhang Yi’s eyes widened as he read the task, cursing in his heart. ‘Isn’t letting her become a disciple of Yue Yao asking for death? The Heavenly Fate Map is trying to screw me again!’
Yue Yao asked him to expel Shen Chenyu, but if he took her back, wouldn’t that be suicidal? Moreover, the punishment for failure was quite severe for Zhang Yi, as it would affect his lifelong happiness.
“Why did the Heavenly Fate Map choose me? If this continues, I’ll be screwed to death sooner or later!”
Zhang Yi didn’t even notice the reward. If he could choose, he would rather not have the Heavenly Fate Map.
Just when he finally caught his breath, he was issued one more suicidal task.
Shen Chenyu looked at Zhang Yi’s troubled face with a heart full of pain. After a fierce mental struggle, she gritted her teeth and said, “Big Brother Zhang Yi, if you really don’t want to see me, I’ll leave. I’ve caused you trouble during this time.”
After saying these words, Shen Chenyu’s expression was defeated, looking pitiful and helpless. She felt as though her soul had been emptied.
“I won’t cause you trouble. I want to be your pride,” Shen Chenyu said. She loved Zhang Yi deeply and didn’t want him to suffer in any way. So, this time she chose to leave obediently.
There is a kind of love called letting go.
“Sister Chenyu!”
Zhang Luoyan came over and looked at Shen Chenyu’s devastated appearance. She suddenly felt a sense of empathy.
“Wait! Stay here, and I’ll help you become a disciple of our master.” Zhang Yi let out a long sigh. Did he have a choice if he wanted a lifetime of happiness?
“What?!”
Shen Chenyu looked at Zhang Yi in disbelief. Obviously, she had not yet fully realized what had happened.
Zhang Luoyan and the other disciples of the Dao sect also looked at Zhang Yi in amazement.
“Did I hear it correctly? Senior brother is actually offering to help her become a disciple of our master?”
“What happened just now? Has our senior brother been charmed by her?”
“Am I dreaming? Pinch me!”
“Ouch! That hurts! Who asked you to pinch so hard?”
Many disciples thought they were dreaming. Their senior brother renowned for his cold-heartedness actually gave in to Shen Chenyu’s pleading?
“I said, don’t go. I’ll help you become a disciple of our master,” Zhang Yi said impatiently.
“Is… is it true?” Shen Chenyu almost cried tears of joy and said in disbelief, covering her face with her hands.
“Follow me,” Zhang Yi said. He didn’t want to waste any more time. Since the Heavenly Fate Map had given him a month, it was unlikely that Yue Yao would agree easily. The priority was to find her first.
Shen Chenyu nodded her head joyfully, closely following behind Zhang Yi. Before leaving, she didn’t forget to give Zhang Luoyan a grateful look.
Watching the two figures leave, Zhang Luoyan suddenly realized, “I see! Could it be that Senior Brother is helping Shen Chenyu because of me? How can I ever repay him? By offering myself?”
………………………………….
On Moon Shadow Peak, Yue Yao’s face was ashen with anger, and her heart was filled with rage. ‘Zhang Yi! I told you to drive her away, but instead you want to help her become my disciple?’
‘I can’t possibly take her as my disciple! It’s impossible!’ Yue Yao gritted her teeth.
Since becoming the Sect Leader of the Dao Sect, she had never been as angry as she was today.
Zhang Yi, who was rushing to Moon Shadow Peak, suddenly felt a slight tremor in the Heavenly Fate Map. Looking at it, he found that Yue Yao’s favorability towards him had dropped to one star, with a clear reason stated: [ because you want to help Shen Chenyu.]
Zhang Yi was in a panic. “Oh no, all the favorability I had painstakingly accumulated has dropped. I must soothe her.”
Zhang Yi now felt that his beautiful master was good in every way, except that she was too jealous.
When he and Shen Chenyu arrived at the foot of Moon Shadow Peak, Qingyi stopped him. “Zhang Yi, the sect leader doesn’t want to see you now. Please leave.”
“There are some things I must tell her!” Zhang Yi was anxious. If he couldn’t even see Yue Yao, how would he be able to help Shen Chenyu become her disciple?
‘Yao’er, I’m not just thinking of myself, but also of you,’ Zhang Yi felt extremely exhausted, he sighed heavily.
“Zhang Yi, you have disappointed the Sect Leader this time. I hope you will take care of this yourself!”
Qingyi glanced at Shen Chenyu. In her opinion, it was all because of this shameless princess.
“Brother Zhang Yi, why don’t you come with me to Great Zhou Empire? How about becoming my husband?”
Shen Chenyu did not indulge Qingyi and looked at Zhang Yi with longing.
“It’s impossible. I am my master’s disciple in life and her ghost in death!”
Zhang Yi believed that every move and action of his in the sect could not escape the eyes of Yue Yao, and his attitude was very resolute.
Qingyi looked at Zhang Yi with a complex expression. She always felt that something was wrong with Zhang Yi, but it seemed like there was no problem.
“Master, disciple requests an audience!”
Zhang Yi’s voice echoed throughout the Dao sect.
“Zhang Yi, is it necessary for her? You know the temperament of the Sect Leader. She will never accept Shen Chenyu as her disciple.”
Qingyi shook her head, thinking of Yue Yao’s angry expression just now, she couldn’t help but shudder.
“Master, you must accept her as your disciple! Otherwise…”
Before Zhang Yi could finish speaking, a cold aura swept over. Yue Yao suddenly appeared in front of the two of them, her expression cold as she asked, “Otherwise, what?”
Zhang Yi was startled and subconsciously swallowed his saliva. “Otherwise… Otherwise, I would rather die than live.”
Zhang Yi wasn’t lying to Yue Yao. Without his pride as a man, he would rather die than live.
Shen Chenyu was also startled. This was the first time she had a close encounter with Yue Yao. She only had three words in her mind as she saw her: beautiful, powerful, and cold.
