Chapter 74: Tomorrow’s Test Leaks
Lady Ming Yue entered after Li Shen invited her in. At first, the guards from the Ming Yuan Sect asked the woman not to act rashly. They were worried that Shen Li would take advantage of Lady Ming Yue.
However, Li Shen reassured them that Lady Ming Yue was safe with him. No power in heaven or earth could harm her as long as she was with Li Shen.
"You are being too excessive, Daoist Shen," replied Ming Yue.
"You are my guest. Your safety is my responsibility. Allow me to protect you as part of my responsibility," said Li Shen.
Ming Yue’s cheeks flushed red, embarrassed by Shen Li’s bold attitude, even though Ming Yue knew very well that the man was only a Mid-Stage Nascent Soul cultivator, while Ming Yue was a Perfect Nascent Soul cultivator.
The power gap between them was already huge, but Li Shen still insisted on protecting Ming Yue on the grounds that she was his guest.
In the end, the guards agreed to it. However, they gave Li Shen and Ming Yue two hours to talk to each other. Two hours was more than enough time for Li Shen to learn a lot about Ming Yue and Ming Gong.
The two sat on soft cushions on the floor, facing each other with hot tea served before them. Right beside them was the large fish pond that Li Shen had used for meditation earlier, and Ming Yue occasionally turned her attention to it.
"Did you visit other participants like you visited me?" Li Shen asked.
"No. I didn’t find anything interesting about them. They’re all just arrogant people from their sects and families," replied Ming Yue, sipping the warm tea in her cup.
Li Shen nodded. He was quite fortunate with this situation, but on the other hand, he was worried that Ming Yue had her own reasons for getting close to him.
