Chapter 18: My Xenia is a simple girl with a simple heart~
"Shenshah, put me down."
Xenia started shaking, trying to make him release his grip on her.
"Don't make a fuss",
"Just keep holding me tightly, this will save time."
Xenia was embarrassed, she never thought that the moment she agreed, he would directly put her on his back and carry her like giving a piggyback ride.
She too thought that walking with clutches would take a lot of time, better just let Shenshah carry her.
But it was only later she realised, if others see her like this, How shameful it would beSuch a close contact between her and Shenshah even though they are yet to marry. Her face was dyed crimson.
As soon as I came out of the cave carrying Xenia on my back, I saw someone unexpected, those fiery red eyes can't be mistaken for someone else.
"Sect Master?."
Like Shenshah, the sectmaster was equally surprised.
'Very good, it's only been a few minutes, and you have already started hugging in public?'
Even though she knew Shenshah was carrying Xenia because she can't walk, her mind, which was full of prejudice about him, refused to admit it.
"Xenia, are you leaving the sect?"
"Without even informing anyone?"
"Why don't you speak anything?"
Her cold eyes locked on Xenia, without caring about Shenshah.
Xenia was taken aback, the Sectmaster's appearance here should not be in the script.
Seeing the silent couple, the Sectmaster showed a triumphant smile.
"Xenia, I tell you."
"You are being deceived, just give me some time, I will find some medicine to heal your injuries."
"Why are you associated with such a weak boy like him? Just by a fluke of luck, he managed to raise his cultivation base, look at him."
"This brat has already lost interest in cultivation as he is enjoying his mundane life to the fullest."
"The colourful clothes he is wearing, the gold chain around his neck, not to forget his concept of living happily after marrying many girls, all is a big hoax to dupe innocent girls like you."
"I am telling you this because you are a very promising disciple, I don't want you to make a choice that you end up regretting your entire lifetime."
When Xenia was questioned, she didn't care but when Shenshah's character was questioned in front of her, her fuse blew.
She was a hot girl with a low temper to begin with~
A virtuous wife never speaks with two hearts.
Since she has decided to follow Shenshah whole-heartedly, she will not care about other people's opinions. She will accept and support him in everything.
Because now she not only loves Shenshah but also loves Shenshah's ideals and career, no matter how unrealistic they might be.
Her being an orphan like Shenshah, only intensified this emotion.
Even though I was ignored, I had to stand up for Xenia. How can I let this scammer bitch utter nonsense in front of my future wife?
But just when I was about to speak, Xenia stopped me.
"Wait!"
"Since she addressed these words to me, let me give her a response she shall always remember."
She took a deep breath.
Instead of getting down, she tightened her grip on Shenshah's shoulders.
Her actions aimed at provoking Sectmaster's anger.
"Yes, we are leaving!"
"I am leaving with the one who will be my future husband."
"Why should I report to the people who don't care about me?"
"I was basically without any life-goals when I started cultivating, so it shouldn't have mattered if after the injury I couldn't cultivate any longer."
"But that was before I met Shenshah!"
"Now my life has a goal!"
"To live and grow old with him, and."
"And, to give a lot of healthy children to him."
"Even if you can help me heal, what's its use if it doesn't allows me to be with Shenshah?"
She spoke as if she was showing-off.
She doesn't know why, at this moment, her heart was full of courage.
"I don't care about what others think, as long as I am happy, I don't give a damn about them!"
"But Xenia, think about the sect?"
The Sectmaster spoke with twitching eyebrows.
"What sect?"
"I don't owe anything to anyone."
"All the resources I used were either bought from the tasks I completed or the money left behind by my late parents."
"Shenshah, let's go..No need to waste more time here."
I could smell the gunpowder in her tone. I was sure if the other woman was someone else than the Sectmaster, Xenia would have long sworn some bad words at her.
I proudly looked at the sectmaster who was staring at me deeply.
Clearly, in her eyes, I was the reason Xenia refused to stay in the sect.
Her glaring eyes seemed to be saying- It's all because of you, brat!
This time it was me who without caring about her, arrogantly walked past her.
The feeling of being ignored was thrown back.
It was so satisfying.
Looking at the pair who were about to leave, her mood soured.
'If the girl can't be convinced, let's use the boy. It will be a big loss if Xenia really left', the Sectmaster decided to use another way of manipulating.
She spoke loudly,
"Shenshah, are you so selfish that you want to steal Xenia's future? Are you not aware of her excellent potential? If it's Spirit stones you want, come with me to the main hall. At this very instant, I will give you enough Spirit stones to live the rest of your life without any worries. And, Xenia, it's too soon for you to talk about feelings. First, cultivate and become someone strong. Once you achieve that, finding someone who is many times more worthy than Shenshah and cherishes you will be a cakewalk."
First comes intimidation then comes temptation, with this tactic the sectmaster had already manipulated many people's minds. She was sure this trick of hers would work again.
Seeing Shenshah, who was carrying Xenia behind his back, stopping after she shouted her words, a big smile bloomed on her face.
Even if there was a danger of her killing us on the spot, this time I let my mouth run loose.
As the head of the family that I will create, the matter has come to my dignity.
I only stopped for a moment but without turning back I replied,
"How can someone who has been a virgin for hundreds of years know anything about feelings?"
"You say that once you become strong you can then find someone suitable to be your partner."
"But aren't you strong enough? So why are you still single? Oh yeah, now that you have tasted the awesomeness of being strong, how can you be willing to settle for your current realm? You must be already planning on even further increasing your realm and strength, right? How can you have time for such trivial things?"
"So don't compare my Xenia to yourself. She is not so ambitious and selfish like you. She is a simple girl with a simple heart who wants to be with me."
The words were sharp and clear,
Without wasting any time, I quickened my footsteps as we left the sect.
The Sectmaster stood there motionless.
Shenshah's words were like sharp daggers aimed directly at her.
It was the first time a weakling dared to speak so arrogantly in front of her.
Her chest was heaving violently, the anger in those eyes was filled to the brim.
Had it not been inside the sect, she would have directly killed him for talking so loudly in front of her.
'Boy, do you think it's so easy to insult me and run away?'
