The Emperor's Threat

Cui Jingyan could not help asking, "Young Master Su, aren't you afraid at all?"

This was Naihe Divine Mountain!

And more than one Emperor was stationed here!

Under such circumstances, anyone who learned such terrible news would likely have long since been sitting on pins and needles, terrified and uneasy.

Yet Su Yi still wore that same unshakably calm expression.

Su Yi smiled. "Would being afraid be of any use?"

Cui Jingyan lightly bit her rosy lips, then said somewhat apologetically, "When I tried to persuade those old men earlier, I didn't reveal anything about the jade pendant on me."

"In other words, aside from me, Ninth Priest, and Snow Leaf, no one else in the sect knows that you are someone valued by my Old Ancestor."

In her view, if this secret were revealed, it would surely make those old men of the sect restrain themselves somewhat.

Letting Ninth Priest and Snow Leaf know of this had already left Cui Jingyan feeling uneasy, worried that her Old Ancestor would punish her in the future.

Cui Jingyan: "..."

Su Yi's understanding only made her feel all the more ashamed.

The young girl took a deep breath, her starry eyes resolute. "Then how about this? I guarantee that, no matter what, I won't let anything happen to you in Meng Po Hall!"

Su Yi shook his head. "You'd best not involve yourself. Otherwise, how will you be able to keep a foothold in Meng Po Hall in the future?"
