Chapter 46: This person is treacherous and vicious, he must not be kept

Kou Ruozhi stood up, bowing his head and waist, his face full of a fawning smile. He said, “The current celestial mother of our Heavenly Mother Sect is 28 years old, surpassing all in beauty, and she is the unparalleled beauty in this world. She and Young Master Xu are a match made in heaven.” “Young Master Xu is the Grand Saint of Heaven. He is the consort of the celestial mother. The Heavenly Mother Sect naturally belongs to Young Master Xu, there is no difference.” Upon hearing this, Xu Yan had an astonished look on his face, “So, the Heavenly Mother Sect has a celestial mother? Is she very beautiful?” Seeing this, Kou Ruozhi was overjoyed and thought to himself, “Xu Yan, with his invincible aura and handsome appearance, he will surely please the celestial mother. And with the celestial mother’s beauty, how could Xu Yan not be moved?” “Yes, the current celestial mother is 28 years old, the most beautiful in the world, as beautiful as a celestial maiden. Young Master Xu, if you become the Grand Saint of Heaven, you can marry the celestial mother.” “I’m not exaggerating, I, Kou Ruozhi, have traveled throughout the countries of Qi and Wu, and I’ve never seen a woman as beautiful as the celestial mother.” Kou Ruozhi was hurrying to speak. Constantly praising the beauty of their current celestial mother, claiming she is unique in the world, he wanted to use her beauty to tempt Xu Yan into joining the Heavenly Mother Sect. “Is there such a beautiful woman?” Xu Yan suddenly seemed interested. “I assure you, Young Master Xu, I’m not trying to deceive you. The celestial mother’s beauty is indescribable. Among the countless men in this world, only Young Master Xu would be worthy of her.” “Wouldn’t the Grand Saint of Heaven and the celestial mother be a perfect match?” “Young Master Xu, join our sect, and become the Grand Saint of Heaven in our sect. Together, we will rise in rebellion and overthrow old Emperor Qi!” Kou Ruozhi, seeing that the situation was favorable, continually sought to manipulate him. “Is there such a beautiful woman in this world?” Xu Yan felt curious about the current celestial mother of the Heavenly Mother Sect. Something isn’t right! He suddenly became alert, “This man keeps describing the celestial mother’s beauty to me; he wants to use beauty to bewitch me. Once I join the Heavenly Mother Sect and become the Grand Saint of Heaven, I’ll be entranced by the celestial mother’s beauty.” “Wouldn’t this result in neglecting my martial arts training? Indulging in pleasure day and night, losing interest in martial arts, and becoming hopelessly lost in beauty?” “Over time, my chi would become depleted due to overindulgence, and my appearance would become haggard and thin, and my path in martial arts would be cut off.” “If the celestial mother uses some kind of method to drain my energy for her benefit, wouldn’t my strong energy satisfy her?” The more Xu Yan contemplated, the more he thought deeply, the more stern he became. In his mind, he could already see himself with dark eye sockets, sunken cheeks, a thin body, depleted chi, swaying as if about to collapse. At this thought, Xu Yan took a sharp breath. His gaze towards Kou Ruozhi changed, and he shuddered inwardly, “This man is so sinister and evil, seeking to disrupt my focus on martial arts. He mustn’t be spared!” His eyes glaring, he said coldly, “You sinister, evil person, vainly trying to disrupt my focus on martial arts. Do you not know I, Xu Yan, would never be moved by the allure of women? I cannot spare you today!” He abruptly raised his hand, and the force of the Descending Dragon Palm manifested. A giant red dragon was about to be unleashed. Thump! “Wait, wait, Young Master Xu, wait!” Kou Ruozhi, who had been observing Xu Yan’s expression, saw that something was wrong. He hurriedly knelt with a thud. “Young Master Xu’s will is as solid as a rock, not moved by the enticement of women. I, Kou, admire this. Only Young Master Xu in this world could be the Grand Saint of Heaven for our sect.” “A moment ago, when I mentioned the celestial mother’s beauty, it was only to witness Young Master Xu’s steadfast will, not to be bewitched by beauty. There was no intention to distract you from your martial arts!” “I, Kou, swear to heaven!” Kou Ruozhi hurriedly raised his hand and swore. Xu Yan’s expression softened, and he retracted his palm force. Kou Ruozhi’s face was covered in cold sweat, and he was inwardly shocked, “At this age of vigorous vitality, who can resist the celestial mother’s peerless beauty?” “Could it be that Xu Yan is not interested in women but rather in men?!” Thinking of this possibility, Kou Ruozhi had a thought; his eyes rolling, he had an idea. “There are many handsome men in our Heavenly Mother Sect, whether they are delicate or sturdy, we have all kinds of temperaments. If Young Master Xu joins our sect and becomes the Grand Saint of Heaven, you can choose freely.” Xu Yan, still a young man and completely focused on martial arts, didn’t understand the implication in Kou Ruozhi’s words for a moment. Doubtfully, he said, “Handsome guys? Can I choose any?” “Yes, yes! You can choose any handsome guy from our group, Young Master Xu!” Kou Ruozhi wiped off his cold sweat, stood up, and smiled obsequiously. Xu Yan blinked, about to ask why he would pick handsome guys? Madam Xu, behindhimm became anxious immediately, her voice trembling: “Yan’er, don’t scare your mother. Are yoDodo you have…do you fancy men?” Upon hearing this, Xu Yan immediately understood and became furious, “You are crafty and wicked! When your beauty tactic didn’t work, you tried to ruin my reputation, disrupt my focus, and destabilize my martial arts spirit. I won’t let you get away with this!” Thud! Kou Ruozhi’s soul nearly flew out of him, and he fell to his knees instantaneously. “Wait, wait! Young Master Xu, it’s a misunderstanding! I didn’t mean that!” Kou Ruozhi felt the terrifying pressure contained in Xu Yan’s palm; his face was full of cold sweat, and he turned pale. His thoughts were spinning quickly. He hastily said, “What I mean is to let Young Master Xu choose handsome men to send to Emperor Qi!” “Right! Send them to Emperor Qi. It’s been rumored that buffoonish Emperor Qi is fond of men. We can send him handsome men, destabilize his harem, and distract him from state affairs.” “Once we preach about Emperor Qi’s immoral and mess-making behavior, we will surely win over hearts and minds. We can then take Jin’an all at once and capture the foolish Emperor Qi!” Kou Ruozhi was drenched in cold sweat and could only place all the blame on Emperor Qi. The twelve elite warriors of the Heavenly Mother Sect looked at their think tank, Strategist Kou, in admiration. True to his role as the sect’s strategist, with his ability to read the situation and adapt, no one could compare. If it were any of them, they might have lost their lives on the spot. At this moment, Kou Ruozhi was somewhat broken inside, “What’s wrong with Xu Yan? He’s not interested in women? Or men? Why does he think I’m trying to disrupt his martial arts spirit?” “I’m being wronged. Did he misunderstand what I said?” Xu Yan glared at Kou Ruozhi, coldly saying, “Whether I, Xu Yan, lead a rebellion or not has nothing to do with your Heavenly Mother Sect. You don’t need to resort to such base methods. Emperor Qi is nothing. I can just go directly to the capital city and cut off his head.” “Yes, yes!” Kou Ruozhi stood up with cold sweat dripping down his face. That was close! He barely survived! He shifted his gaze to Xu Junhe and laughingly said, “Honorary Member Xu, may we discuss?” Xu Junhe glanced at the Prefecture Governor sitting on one side with a pale face and angry eyes, responding coldly: “Kou Ruozhi, if you want to talk, bring out the qualifications to talk.” “Understood, I will bring out the qualifications to discuss.” Kou Ruozhi let out a sigh of relief. Waving the feather fan in his hand, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, turned to the elites of the Heavenly Mother Sect, and said, “It’s time to make a move!” “Yes, Strategist Kou!” A man took out a whistle, put it in his mouth, and blew. The whistle sounded once short and once long, and it was blown three times in succession. Shortly after the whistle sounded, whistles resonated from inside the prefecture city. “Dad, should we kill him?” Xu Yan looked at the Prefecture Governor and asked. How he should deal with the Prefecture Governor and others was a decision he would allow his father to make — to kill them all or otherwise. Xu Junhe pondered for a moment and said, “There’s no rush to act. Let’s wait for the news from the Heavenly Mother Sect.” He let out a sigh of relief and looked at his son with a gleam in his eyes. He initially thought his son’s head was not right, and he believed in the serialized story’s prophecy. Little did he know that his son would cultivate such terrifying power. That fiery red dragon was like a divine force, beyond human capacity.
