Chapter 553 - 273: Qianhua’s Little Dog
"But you’re different, aren’t you? Hua Jing seems to care greatly about the Venerable being tainted by evil, right? You want to involve me but can’t, because you know that would harm me, yet you can’t harm me; you can only harm yourself..."
Celestial Technique Venerable was forced to look at the boy, whose eyes were as dark as ink, resembling a demon. She felt an inexplicable fear in her heart, as if it was pressure from her bloodline, or perhaps from her own mind.
"You might not be afraid of death, but once your connection to evil is exposed, Qianhua Pavilion will be utterly ruined... You do all this to strengthen Qianhua Pavilion, right? It’s your life’s work, and your greatest support before others, are you going to destroy it with your own hands..."
Amid his mental assault, You Su didn’t forget to give orders to ensure safety:
"Behave well, do not expose tonight’s affairs, and send away those who come."
Celestial Technique Venerable couldn’t disobey You Su’s order; she could only angrily glare at the boy and prepare to stand up.
"Oh, right."
You Su suddenly called her back and whispered something softly in her ear.
Celestial Technique Venerable looked back at You Su in disbelief, yet she had no choice but to put on the necklace.
At this moment, questioning voice came from outside the door:
"Pavilion Master, are you there?"
Celestial Technique Venerable glanced at You Su, taking deep breaths to suppress her discomfort.
If she screamed that she was in danger, her trusted servant outside would rush in and save her.
But would it really save her?
This boy could control her, forcing her to say whatever he wanted. A Spirit Platform Realm boy controlling a Void Realm Venerable, who would believe such a thing?
No matter if she could think of harming him or not, even if she exposed him, the best outcome would be mutual destruction. Since with just one command from him, she could decisively end her own life.
But she didn’t want to die, nor did she want Qianhua Pavilion to perish.
She had gone through so much hardship, killed so many people, and finally reached her position today. How could she die so easily because of a boy?
While she was hesitating, You Su gently embraced her from behind, resting his face on her shoulder, his mouth close to her ear.
The boy spoke softly, like a devil’s whisper.
"Celestial Technique Venerable need not worry, I’m a good person, a very good person. Do you know what Celestial Technique Venerable calls me? They call me... Savior. I told you long ago, I’m more valuable than you think."
"So you can’t blame anyone else but yourself for provoking the wrong person. Don’t feel resentful or wronged; this is the punishment you deserve. Behave well, and maybe I’ll give you a chance to rectify..."
Chance to rectify?
Celestial Technique Venerable seemed to see a glimmer of hope, although she knew this hope was incredibly slim, more like You Su’s deceit to make her submit, but she couldn’t help but chase this hope.
Because only by living, can she have the chance to reclaim everything.
"Pavilion Master?" The voice outside continued.
"Why? Didn’t I tell you not to disturb me unless there’s something important tonight?"
Celestial Technique Venerable lifted the Sound Insulation Skill irritably and shouted to the outside.
You Su smiled with satisfaction and patted her again.
"Maid has sinned! It’s just that those guests said there’s some commotion in your room, so they sent me to inquire about your situation..."
Celestial Technique Venerable’s eyes were filled with anger, yet she was helpless.
Though her body was already extraordinary, this kind of stimulation was purely instinctive; the stronger the physical strength, the greater the sensation it brings.
"I’m fine... Do these people like eavesdropping so much?"
"They seem to care about you, so I’ll go get you two more Sound Insulation Skills."
"Hmm, don’t come in and disturb me again, I’m quite enjoying myself... huh!!"
The maid outside was instantly taken aback, unable to believe the sound she heard from the Pavilion Master...
As the Pavilion Master’s exclusive maid, she naturally knew who was in the Pavilion Master’s room tonight.
When she first saw this exceptionally handsome boy, she felt sorry for him. The Pavilion Master’s hobbies were somewhat sick, not the type who spared anyone.
But how could the sound she heard be...
"Why are you still here? Do you want to come in and join?"
The Pavilion Master’s cold voice came again, and the maid’s legs went weak, knowing the Pavilion Master wasn’t inviting her for enjoyment.
Did she hear wrong earlier?
"The maid knows her mistake! She will withdraw immediately!"
The maid hurriedly retreated, but as she closed the door at the end of the corridor, her heart leaped again.
She was very certain, she hadn’t heard wrong, because the sudden high-pitched voice sounded once more...
Celestial Technique Venerable grabbed You Su’s muscular arm, breathing heavily, "You’re insane!"
Her heart was filled with shame and anger, very sure the maid outside heard her voice. The thought of her image of nobility collapsing in the maid’s mind filled her with unspeakable shame.
You Su’s lips curled slightly as he slowly withdrew his hand.
"What I must tell you is that the binding tie can only be severed by death."
"You dare lie to me!"
Celestial Technique Venerable’s gaze was fierce, but she was helpless, filled with resentment with nowhere to release, feeling like a talented poet with no place to apply his skills.
"Firstly, if I were to deceive you, what could you do?"
You Su proudly looked at her, "Secondly, I’m not lying. The bond can’t be severed unless you die, but the evil aura on you can be dispelled. I can make you appear just like an ordinary person. Apart from being my subordinate, you won’t experience any change. You can still enjoy prosperity, and even... some unexpected capabilities."
