Marry the Demon Sect Girl with No Bride Price

Chapter 619: Chapter 279: Junior Sister Su, I Will Take Good Care of You

With the sound of clattering, Ming Hu poured out a heap of things from the Storage Bag.

There were Spirit Pills, Magical Artifacts, jewelry, dresses, local specialties, and so on, leaving the people in the main hall dumbfounded.

The other disciples of the Thunder Sword Sect were also bewildered, but couldn’t publicly stop Ming Hu, so they could only lower their heads, cover their faces, and pretend not to know him.

"Senior Brother Ming, what are you doing?"

Su Xin looked at the various items piled up like a small mountain in front of her, and asked in confusion.

Ming Hu scratched his head and laughed heartily, "Last time, I was in the wrong and accidentally hurt Junior Sister Su. These are my tokens of apology for you."

Su Xin smiled and said, "Senior Brother Ming, there’s no need to be so courteous. If it was a misunderstanding, there’s no need to keep it in mind."

"How can that be? I specially prepared these for you. Look, these dresses are all made to your size. If you don’t take them, nobody else can wear them!"

Ming Hu’s voice was loud, and the more he spoke, the more exaggerated it became, making others’ expressions turn peculiar.

Su Xin was surprised, "Senior Brother Ming, how do you know my clothing size?"

Ming Hu chuckled and said, "I asked the Junior Sister. She loves to observe the figure sizes of women larger than her."

"Enough."

Tantai Mingyue suddenly spoke up:

"Everyone has traveled a long way, so please go and rest first. Tomorrow, we will host a banquet for you."

Zheng Mulin cupped his hands and took his leave.

Si Mingcheng said, "Sect Leader Tantai, the Empress has a letter for you."

A disciple of the Thunder Sword Sect stepped forward and pulled at Ming Hu, "Senior Brother, let’s go."

"Scram! I still have things to discuss with Junior Sister Su!"

Ming Hu put all the items back into the Storage Bag and said to Su Xin with a smile:

"Junior Sister Su, I’ve heard Danxia Peak is beautiful. Can you show me around?"

"This..." Su Xin glanced at Tantai Mingyue, but upon seeing the Master’s nod, she spoke to Ming Hu,

"Senior Brother Ming, please follow me."

"Great!"

Ming Hu was overjoyed and agreed immediately. The other disciples of the Thunder Sword Sect instinctively wanted to follow, but at his glare, they awkwardly went ahead.

Su Xin then led Ming Hu out of the Peak Master Hall.

Chun Ningzhi and the others also responded by taking their leave, leaving only Tantai Mingyue, Leng Jing, and Si Mingcheng in the Peak Master Hall.

Si Mingcheng took out a letter and presented it to Tantai Mingyue.

Tantai Mingyue received it, opened the envelope, and found that the long letter contained only six words:

"Visit old places, resolve past grievances."

A trace of coldness appeared in Tantai Mingyue’s gentle eyes, and she said lightly:

"Tell Lin Yuan that I will definitely be at the Immortal Ascension Ceremony in half a year."

Si Mingcheng bowed and said, "Yes, I will take my leave now."

With that, he walked out of the Peak Master Hall.

Tantai Mingyue’s face was slightly cold, and a rare hint of killing intent emanated from her.

Leng Jing silently watched her, finally speaking softly:

"Junior Sister Tantai, do you... still can’t forget that person from back then?"

The person Leng Jing was referring to was the former Crown Prince of the West Imperial Dynasty, a man Tantai Mingyue once adored.

Years ago, Tantai Mingyue went down the mountain for training, met Lin Yuan from the Immortal Flying Pavilion, and the Crown Prince of the West Imperial Dynasty.

The three were once intimately close, enduring life and death together.

But for some reason, at the most critical moment when the Crown Prince and the Third Prince Wu Zheng were vying for the throne, Lin Yuan suddenly defected. The Crown Prince died, and Wu Zheng successfully ascended to the throne.

Tantai Mingyue, disillusioned, returned to Zhenyang Sect and never went down the mountain again.

During that time, Leng Jing was exceedingly attentive to Tantai Mingyue.

Years later, he once thought Junior Sister had forgotten about that Crown Prince.

But for some reason, Tantai Mingyue suddenly entered seclusion for a year.

Leng Jing, worried about his Junior Sister, kept watch outside Danxia Peak for the entire year.

When Tantai Mingyue emerged from seclusion, her demeanor had matured significantly, becoming more dignified and gentle.

However, this gentleness was equitable to all in the Zhenyang Sect and did not hold anything special for Leng Jing.

Before long, Tantai Mingyue somehow found a baby girl, named her Su Xin, and kept her by her side, raising her.

Thinking about Tantai Mingyue’s experiences over the years, Leng Jing couldn’t help but feel a bit of heartache.

Tantai Mingyue let the letter in her hand turn to ash, and gently said to Leng Jing:

"Senior Brother, Zhenyang Sect is in a critical moment. We must not let our minds wander."

Leng Jing was silent for a moment, then nodded, "Junior Sister is right, I’ve been distracted."

Danxia Peak, Foreign Guest Residence.

Zheng Mulin said to Si Mingcheng, "Congratulations Commander Si, with Si Minglan dead, your greatest threat is finally eliminated."

Si Mingcheng laughed heartily, "I must also thank Taoist Friend Zheng. If not for your leading Si Minglan into the trap that day, capturing her wouldn’t have been so easy."

Zheng Mulin lowered his voice, "Commander Si, our Sect Leader asked me to tell the Western Empress something... If Feiyun Sect becomes enemies with Zhenyang Sect, what would Empress Lin do?"

Si Mingcheng laughed, "The Empress had long anticipated Sect Leader Bai’s query. Please convey to Sect Leader Bai that the Empress said: she would never stand with Zhenyang Sect."

Zheng Mulin was overjoyed, "I will definitely report Empress Lin’s words to the Sect Leader. Feiyun Sect and the Western Emperor Palace must enhance our interactions in the future!"

"Of course, hahaha!"

...

Danxia Peak.

Sunset Cliff.

"Senior Brother Ming, this is the best place on Zhenyang Mountain to enjoy the sunset scenery."

Su Xin and Ming Hu stood side by side, with the sunset dyeing the horizon red in the distance. Su Xin’s face was also tinted by the rosy dusk, adding a touch of allure to her dignity.

"Senior Brother Ming?"

Su Xin sensed something amiss, turned her head to look at Ming Hu, who quickly averted his gaze, his rugged face also flushed by the evening glow, scratching his head, he said:

"It’s quite beautiful, hahaha!"

Su Xin said, "Senior Brother Ming, you’ve seen the scenery, I’ll take you to the Foreign Guest Residence now."

"Wait a moment."

Ming Hu reached out to grab Su Xin’s wrist. Seeing her look at him in surprise, he quickly let go and hesitated before finally saying:

"Junior Sister Su, do you know why we came to Zhenyang Sect?"

Su Xin said calmly, "You want to investigate if Uncle Shi Shuhong and Uncle Wei Shouyuan are truly dead."

"Haha, Junior Sister Su is straightforward; since that’s the case, I won’t beat around the bush."

The smile on Ming Hu’s face faded, and he said seriously:

"My Master has confirmed that Shi Shuhong and Wei Shouyuan are truly dead. He sent us here to Zhenyang Sect to see your true condition; he wants the Thunder Sword Sect to become the Leader of the Righteous Path."

Su Xin’s gentle face gradually turned cold, "Then what does Senior Brother Ming think?"

Ming Hu said, "Of course, I’ll assist my Master! That’s why I came to speak to you this time, to tell you..."

Ming Hu looked at Su Xin’s delicate face and slowly said:

"My Master said he will send me and Junior Sister to participate in the Immortal Ascension Ceremony. We are determined to take the top three and will use this to pull Zhenyang Sect from the leader position of the Righteous Path."

"Junior Sister Su, Zhenyang Sect is already declining. Come join the Thunder Sword Sect, I promise to take good care of you!"
