Monarch Night

Fang Che was filled with a killing aura.

"Didn't I just tell you it can't be beaten?"

Yin Shen Palace was displeased.

"We can't beat the higher-ups, but we can kill the lower ones."

Fang Che said, "Let Yemo come forward, catch their little brats, and kill them in batches."

Yin Shen Palace sighed, "Your bloodlust is truly heavy."

Fang Che blushed and looked down, "All thanks to master's good teachings."

"Let's set this matter aside for now. When we leave Baiyun State later, I'll first pay a visit to Yishan Sect."

Yin Shen Palace said, "Go to discuss politely first, see what Yishan Sect's attitude is before making a move."

"Master is right."

Fang Che quickly flattered, "Master's thoughts are thorough. If we shout and kill here, and they agree from the start, wouldn't that backfire?"

Yin Shen Palace snorted, "However, right now, there are a few things to do first."

"A few things?" Fang Che was puzzled.

"Yes, a few things, all about you."

Yin Shen Palace's expression and gaze turned sinister.

...

Fang Che's heart skipped a beat.

A bad premonition surged in his heart.

He laughed dryly, "Master, what did the disciple do wrong again?"

Yin Shen Palace looked at Ye Meng, who was diligently drying clothes in the courtyard, and said casually, "This girl, is she one of our sect?"

"She's just a maid, does she also need to join the sect?"

Fang Che was confused.

"That won't do."

Yin Shen Palace coldly said, "I originally came to assess your cultivation progress, but now it seems there are quite serious issues around and with you. So, let's solve you first."

Fang Che scratched his head, "Master, what you said... the disciple didn't understand."

"This girl cannot be left unchecked. Too dangerous!"

Yin Shen Palace said, "How about giving her a Five Spirits Gu... also no. If she has the Five Spirits Gu and her aptitude isn't good, she'll be a major security concern for you in the future. Moreover, with more contact with the outside world, it's unstable. Information spreads too quickly, which is detrimental to your hidden identity as Yemo."

He pondered for a moment, "Take her into your room, make her your woman."

Fang Che was dumbfounded, "Huh?"

"What's with the 'huh'!"

Yin Shen Palace said, "You're not young anymore, it's time to consider it. Before finding an official wife, taking a concubine isn't unusual."

Fang Che was completely stunned.

How did the topic shift to this?

What kind of strange logic is this?

Yin Shen Palace continued on his own, "This girl looks decent, wouldn't be a disgrace to you, and after all, she's your maid. Sooner or later, she will be yours. If she's already your woman, you wouldn't have to worry about some things."

Fang Che's mind was in chaos.

It took him some time to process it.

However, Mu Lin Yuan and others were all in agreement with Yin Shen Palace's suggestion, smiling and persuading, "The Sect Hierarch is right."

"Your life can't be all about cultivation. When you reach the age, you should find a woman."

Fang Che scratched his head, looking surprised, "No... Master, you... you all travel a long way to Baiyun State, just to propose a match for me? This, this, this... the disciple is confused."

Yin Shen Palace angrily said, "What's confusing? This girl has been nurtured by you from a Martial Disciple to Marshal Level, can I not inquire a bit? What does a Marshal Level martial artist mean?"

"If it were just the original Martial Disciple, what would I worry about? The issue is that the level is too high now."

Fang Che said in confusion, "A higher cultivation can't help me more?"

"You don't understand."

Yin Shen Palace, disappointed, said, "Trust me, you can't go wrong."

"Please enlighten me, Master."

Fang Che persisted.

This matter was still unclear to him.

Yin Shen Palace sensed the soundproof barrier he set earlier and said, "You are really... a handful."

He sighed, "Among these considerations, young people maybe don't understand, but I'll explain it to you."

"Women... are peculiar things."

Yin Shen Palace slowly said, "Many women, their character determines their lives; I wonder if you've heard a saying: marry a chicken, follow the chicken; marry a dog, follow the dog?"

"I've heard it."

"Yes, that's the principle."

Yin Shen Palace said, "A woman's life is often following her husband's footsteps. Even if the woman is strong at home and always scolding her husband, in the course of life, she follows her husband's path. This is something across the continent, from ancient times until now, hasn't changed. This point, you must understand."

"Yes."

"Your maid has been with you for a long time, yet you haven't taken her as yours; and she's getting older, starting to have her own thoughts, and her cultivation is also high..."

"If you don't act, as a maid, it's unsafe. She might feel unnoticed by you; and women at this age, have awakening emotions. If you don't act, she will naturally, consciously or unconsciously, observe others."

"Once someone captures her heart, you're in danger. Because, at that time, in a woman's eyes, other than her lover, no one else matters. Even her parents are less important than her lover in those moments."

"At that time, you, young master, might mean nothing to her."

"A casual sentence, and she could completely betray you!"

"All the past gratitude, life-saving favor, deep master-servant affection, contribution to cultivation... during those times, become trivial as dust."

"So, women of this age are the most dangerous."

Yin Shen Palace said in a calm tone, "But if she becomes your woman, it's different. The long-standing prestige, the recognition of position above and below, combined with the belonging of heart and body, will make her utterly compliant."
