Chapter 389: 215. Mo Xianxian’s Frenzy
Xu Yuan had assumed the banquet would have the Lord of Xunyang City seated at the head, flanked by rows of officials.
Clearly, he had thought too much.
Above the seat of honor, a slender and serene Charming Shadow quietly stood.
“You’ve come.”
With her lips parting, her sultry voice flowed smoothly.
“I have come.”
“Good you’ve come, take a seat.”
Probably because she didn’t see Tian Liuli, Mo Xianxian’s smile grew even brighter.
Under these circumstances, Xu Yuan couldn’t help but speak his mind.
“Shouldn’t it be you who shouldn’t have come?”
“?”
Mo Xianxian tilted her head slightly, her clear eyes filled with pure confusion.
“Why so?”
Mo Xianxian looked at him warmly, as if she were gazing at a priceless treasure.
“Your presence, I’m absolutely delighted.”
“Is that so.”
Xu Yuan was just about to express his gratitude.
“Of course,” Mo Xianxian said with a smile, “By the way, where is Miss Tian?”
“She’s a bit tired, resting, and didn’t come,”
Xu Yuan said.
“I see.”
Mo Xianxian showed an understanding expression.
In reality, she had just asked casually, not truly concerned about the other party.
For her, Tian Liuli’s absence was a most delightful occurrence.
“Miss Mo, why did you invite me here?”
Xu Yuan looked towards Mo Xianxian.
“I invited you here to discuss a matter with you.”
Mo Xianxian picked up the wine pot, her bare hands elegantly guiding it, filling a cup.
Then, with a flutter of her cloud-like sleeves, she used Mana to send the cup of wine towards him.
In the white jade cup, the clear liquor shimmered, casting a colorful radiance.
Xu Yuan stared at the liquor in the cup, sparkling and rich in aroma.
“What matter?”
He keenly sensed something was off.
Xu Yuan could not pinpoint what it was exactly, but a premonition was warning him that staying here too long might lead to some irreversible event.
Mo Xianxian’s gaze did not fall upon his cup; she sat with eyes downcast, her demeanor graceful, captivating in her beauty.
“I’d like to invite you to join the Holy Sect.”
Mo Xianxian’s thin lips parted, her voice graceful.
“Join the Demon Sect?”
Xu Yuan frowned slightly.
“It’s the Holy Sect.”
Mo Xianxian sighed lightly and smiled, “The world only calls us demons because they don’t understand.”
“Is there any benefit to joining the Demon Sect?”
Xu Yuan asked.
“The greatest benefit of joining the Holy Sect is that you no longer need to worry about the Holy Sect’s retaliation.”
Mo Xianxian lifted her cup and took a gentle sip.
“Oh?”
Xu Yuan pondered slightly, “But doesn’t this also mean I will be shackled by the Demon Sect?”
“If Mr. Xu could join, Qianxian can guarantee that you would obtain the same position as a candidate for Saint Heir I hold. As a candidate for Saint Heir within the Holy Sect, one stands below only one and above tens of thousands, needing only to obey the Saint Heir and three Return to Void elders. Beyond them, no one else can command you.”
“That sounds quite appealing.”
Xu Yuan felt somewhat tempted.
He picked up his wine glass and took a light sip.
Mo Xianxian’s expression remained unchanged.
Even so, Xu Yuan did not swallow the wine in his mouth but instead refined it with his mana.
Although certain Mo Xianxian had no reason to drug him, Xu Yuan still felt it was best to be cautious.
After all, even he couldn’t guess Mo Xianxian’s thoughts…
“Of course, it’s quite appealing.”
Mo Xianxian smiled charmingly, “What say you?”
“I refuse.”
Xu Yuan slowly restrained his smile.
“Why?”
Mo Xianxian seemed not at all surprised, her beautiful eyes calmly staring at him.
“There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world. To acquire something, one must surely pay an equivalent price.”
Xu Yuan said so.
“Perhaps the price has already been paid by someone else on your behalf?”
Mo Xianxian’s eyelashes fluttered subtly, she spoke composedly.
“…”
Xu Yuan slowly clenched his fist.
After a moment, he slowly relaxed it.
“I am very grateful for the Young Master’s righteous intervention earlier. If the Young Master wishes for me to join, then I will join.”
He narrowed his eyes slightly, saying.
Mo Xianxian sighed softly, “I never intended to repay the favor with this proposal.”
“But I did.”
Xu Yuan smiled in acknowledgment, “Even though I had never met the Young Master before, he took such a great risk to assist us two, Mr. Xu is certainly not one to forget a debt of gratitude.”
“Are you so eager to sever ties with me? If you are unwilling, let it be then.”
Mo Xianxian sighed deeply.
The atmosphere became tense for a moment, but soon, Mo Xianxian returned to her usual demeanor.
“I was merely making a suggestion. Actually, allowing you to join the Holy Sect not only provides an opportunity to avoid pursuit from the Holy Sect but also offers another benefit.”
“Oh?”
Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly.
“What benefit?”
“Soon, quite predictably, a great war will erupt between the humans and demons. Before that occurs, what do you think their attitude toward Black Horn Domain will be?”
Mo Xianxian spoke calmly.
“The war between humans and demons.”
Reminded by her, Xu Yuan then recalled this matter.
“They will either strive to gain control or suppress, resolving the variable of Black Horn Domain before the war commences.”
“Correct.”
Mo Xianxian nodded, her face filled with approval, “The war between humans and demons is truly an unprecedented major upheaval. Before these two colossal forces commence warfare, they will certainly clear all obstacles around, and as an existence that stands aloof from both powers, Black Horn Domain cannot escape either being taken under one of their wings or being annihilated.”
“In essence, Black Horn Domain will soon become a thing of the past, ceasing to exist.”
Mo Xianxian changed the topic slightly, “Although Black Horn Domain is not permitted to exist, as long as those two major powers are not foolish, they will inevitably continue to allow its existence.”
What do you think?
