Chapter 40: Can feelings be cultivated slowly?
Upon hearing Liu Wenwan’s words, a trace of confusion appeared on Yun Luoxi’s cold, delicate face. What… opinion could she have?
“Do you hope for his victory, or do you hope the empire wins?” Liu Wenwan asked.
After hearing this, Yun Luoxi let out a sigh and slowly replied, “The empire… can it even win?”
She thought, With Ling Xue’s power and the strength of the Demon Sect, what could the empire possibly use to win?
“That day, seven major forces attacked together,” Liu Wenwan continued, “If all seven joined forces, they might not be powerless against the Demon Sect!”
Yun Luoxi shook her head, “The fact that he announced his intention to attack the Taixuan Empire means he’s giving them enough time to prepare! The mere fact that he’s giving them a chance to prepare means he has absolute confidence.”
The Demon Sect was already immensely powerful.
And now Ling Xue was its leader!
No force in the world could possibly oppose such a Demon Sect.
And as for Ling Xue… he was extremely cunning.
Since he openly announced his attack on the Taixuan Empire, he surely had other motives.
No matter what his aim was, he had absolute confidence in it!
Otherwise, he wouldn’t be foolish enough to give the Taixuan Empire plenty of time to prepare.
“You seem to have a lot of faith in him,” Liu Wenwan suddenly smiled.
Upon hearing this, Yun Luoxi frowned. What did she mean by that?
“You have a lot of faith in him!” Liu Wenwan repeated.
“I…” Yun Luoxi frowned even more.
That’s not what she meant.
She was just… making a rational judgment.
She said, “If Ling Xue had gone public with his plans, it meant he feared nothing, not even if the seven major forces teamed up.”
She continued, “Someone like him wouldn’t take action unless he was certain of victory, right?”
“From now on, I fear the Taixuan Empire will cease to exist!”
Liu Wenwan sighed deeply, “In the future, the world will still belong to the Demon Sect! If we align ourselves properly at such a critical time, it could greatly benefit the Lingxu Sect’s future!”
“What do you mean by that, Master?” Yun Luoxi’s beautiful eyes looked at Liu Wenwan.
“Actually… there’s no reason why you couldn’t marry him openly,” Liu Wenwan continued slowly, “If you had agreed when he asked you to marry him before, then by now… our Lingxu Sect would already be part of the Demon Sect!”
“Having a powerful backer like the Demon Sect would be immensely advantageous to the future of the Lingxu Sect.”
“After all, with the terrifying strength of the new Demon Lord, the world would eventually be under the Demon Sect’s control.”
“However… he did say that he would only ask you once,” Liu Wenwan added, “If he asks again, and if you think it’s possible, there’s no harm in saying yes.”
Liu Wenwan thought If her disciple married Ling Xue, she could consider herself half a senior to him.
This would elevate the Lingxu Sect to unprecedented heights.
It would be beneficial from every angle!
Hearing these words, Yun Luoxi quickly stood up, “Master, you know that’s impossible!”
After what he did to her, how could she possibly marry him?
Yun Luoxi continued, “That scoundrel! If only he had approached things differently back then, perhaps she really would have… given him a chance.”
“But unfortunately, he chose the worst way!”
Seeing Yun Luoxi’s reaction, Liu Wenwan quickly smiled, “I was just making a suggestion, of course the choice is yours!”
Of course, she hoped something like that would happen, but she would never force her disciple into an unhappy marriage.
If Yun Luoxi continued to hate Ling Xue, she wouldn’t want her disciple to marry someone she disliked!
However… feelings could grow over time.
They could eventually become mutual, couldn’t they?
She could only hope that Ling Xue might go back on his word once, and at the right moment, ask Yun Luoxi again.
Though… that seemed unlikely.
After all, Ling Xue was a man of his word.

Meanwhile, after Liu Chengshuang left the hall, she gathered a group of female disciples. Her plan was for them all to team up and give Ye Feng a thorough beating.
In no time, a large group of female disciples was following behind Liu Chengshuang.
But many were confused, “Senior Sister Liu, where are we going?”
“To beat someone up!” Liu Chengshuang replied coldly.
“Huh? Beat someone up? Isn’t fighting forbidden in the sect?” some of the female disciples asked curiously.
“We’re going to beat up Ye Feng!” Liu Chengshuang answered.
“Ye Feng?” Upon hearing this, all of their expressions changed slightly.
Although fighting was forbidden in the sect, many of them had long wanted to beat Ye Feng to death.
If Liu Chengshuang led the way, they’d all be more than happy to join in.
“But… isn’t he…” Those who knew Ye Feng’s identity looked at Liu Chengshuang and asked with curiosity.
“Isn’t he a prince?”
“What if the empire seeks revenge?”
Liu Chengshuang replied, “He’s the emperor’s illegitimate son, yes. He’s a prince! But… the Demon Sect is about to launch an attack on the Taixuan Empire, and the empire is bound to fall!”
Liu Chengshuang explained, “The sect master has already ordered his expulsion from the sect! Before he leaves, you can take out any grievances you have on him!”
“The Taixuan Empire was about to be destroyed, so who cared about his title of prince anymore?”
Hearing this, everyone was shocked!
Some were surprised by Ye Feng’s identity, while others were shocked to learn… that the Demon Sect was about to attack the Taixuan Empire?
“Senior Sister Liu, what’s going on? Why is the Demon Sect suddenly attacking the Taixuan Empire?” some of the female disciples asked out of curiosity.
“How should I know! Either way, it’s a good thing, isn’t it? No one dared to offend the empire before, but now someone finally can!” Liu Chengshuang sneered.
Before, everyone was afraid to offend Ye Feng because of his identity and the empire.
Even when they were bullied by Ye Feng, they had to endure it.
But now, they didn’t have to anymore!
