Chapter 528: Ch 528 – If the Divine Gate tries to recruit you, refuse!
By the end, Yino looked embarrassed.
All along this path, Yino’s plans had been very accurate. Even if there were errors, he had basically gambled correctly, keeping things within a controllable range.
But today, Yino had truly miscalculated.
He did not know Iris at all. He thought that no matter how powerful a so-called Celestial Master was, it was impossible for them to personally descend to the mortal world to execute a Nascent Soul stage.
But unexpectedly…
Iris really did not play by the meta. To kill Yino, she even chased down Ye Chaerin, not hesitating to perform cross-border enforcement and offend the entire Liuli Sect.
“Looking at it now, I was naive. If not for Master acting in time, This disciple would likely have been in critical condition and perished here today.”
Yino lowered his eyelids. The youthful spirit of the past was gone; experiencing death once had finally made him much steadier.
Changli looked at him as her pale gold eyes shifted. Her silent nod was an approval of the boy’s humble summary.
However,
Thinking about it, Changli felt a bit of heartache seeing his dejected expression. After all, Iris acted like the wind. Even Changli had not expected Iris to actually dare to kill someone today.
“There is no need to blame yourself like this.”
“The Heavenly Mandate of this world is interlinked. Your plan was actually not wrong at all, because Iris taking action was outside of common logic… To look at it from another angle: if Iris acts, this lady will inevitably act as well. All of this has its own karma in the unseen world.”
Yino listened seriously and felt a sense of deja vu.
If he remembered correctly, Jinyue had said something similar before. She said she would entangle herself with Yino, and selectively falling in love with Yino was also a destined attraction. At that time, Yino did not understand.
But now, first hearing the rumors of the Heavenly-Defying Pavilion, and then seeing the Divine Gate’s Iris with his own eyes, Yino finally re-experienced the true meaning of Jinyue’s words deeply.
Was there a possibility…
That Changli’s philosophy was to some extent no different from Jinyue’s?
Their theme was: Breaking the Heavenly Mandate.
And was Yino the person they favored to break that mandate?
Thinking of this, Yino could not help but lean forward more earnestly as he probed with the doubts in his heart.
“So, this is just as you said before. No matter who my mother is, no matter where I am, Master, you were destined to come save me today? The real reason I did not die today is mainly because Master valued some Trait in me, rather than for my mother’s sake?”
“Naturally.”
Changli closed her eyes and smiled elegantly.
She thought of the scene when she visited the Demon Abyss previously, only to be glared at by the Phoenix girl with eyes full of hate and wariness. She could not help but curl her lips in irony.
“Actually, you should mention your mother less. Your mother is not a positive image in my heart. She wants to flatten the Dragon Palace day and night, and slaughter all humans and dragons in this world… Of course, the list of those she holds a grudge against includes the He mansion, and it includes me.”
“Is… is that so?”
The corner of Yino’s mouth twitched. Associations floated in his mind again, and he felt a sudden creepiness behind him.
My mom seems even more terrifying than those Evil Gods in the Western Region’s Demon Abyss…
At least the Pain Mother Goddess knows about sustainable sacrifice and never thought of slaughtering every living being in the world in one breath.
“It should be said that it is your mother’s fortune of three lifetimes to have accidentally conceived such an intelligent and sensible child like you to farm good karma for her in the human world.”
Seeing Yino’s expression looking so cute, Changli tapped the table lightly with the index finger of her crimson manicure. The corners of her lips curled up as she continued to tease him with even more amusement.
“Alright, the time is getting late.”
Changli sat up and stretched her waist in satisfaction, having finally chatted enough intelligence out of Yino.
She walked forward and her crimson hand tentatively touched Yino’s head.
Then, she rubbed it quietly…
“Yino, there is one last thing your master must instruct you on. You must carve it into your heart.”
Changli bent down and brought her crimson lips to Yino’s ear. Every word and sentence poured into Yino’s ear as if buffed by a command spell.
Yino was controlled by a powerful Spiritual Energy. He sat dazed in place, unable to make a sound, and could only nod obediently.
Seeing him so well-behaved, Changli raised her hand to tuck a few stray hairs behind her ear and spoke in a deep voice.
[In the future, if the Divine Gate attempts to recruit you, whether they use beauty to seduce you, or threaten you with the lives of Yuyan or Ruoning, Your master absolutely forbids you from agreeing]
[Remember, this is not a request. It is the Heavenly Mandate I bestow upon you. You do not have the right to refuse.]
[Sleep.]
[When you wake up, you will have this Heavenly Mandate carved into your heart.]

Liuli Sect, Liuli Sacred Hall.
Three hours had passed since the great battle when the Divine Gate came knocking yesterday.
Now, the chaos stirred up by Iris of the Divine Gate had ended. The numerous Elders who had gathered in front of the Liuli Illusion Realm on the back mountain were gathered together once again.
As the Great Elder, Ye Chaerin naturally sat alone on one side of the Sacred Hall, while Ruoning, who had just awakened her Heavenly Mandate in the illusion, attended behind Ye Chaerin.
Down below, Zhu Deqing sat to one side, while several elders who had traveled far from the Lin mansion sat at a table with the Liu mansion elders.
A few days ago, the elders from the Lin mansion were aggressive. Because Ye Chaerin stubbornly refused to hand over Ruoning, the Lin elders had used the authority of the Grand Tutor’s Mansion to threaten and bribe Ye Chaerin quite a bit.
But now…
They were all much more well-behaved.
Perhaps they had not walked out of the shadow of almost being accidentally killed by Iris’s golden arrows, or perhaps they knew that Changli was sitting on Jinglan Peak tonight… Now, even Zhu Deqing, who had just lost his beloved son, dared to be angry but dared not speak.
“Everyone, Ruoning has now returned from her cultivation.”
“Elder Liu, I wonder if you are satisfied with the growth of the Young Miss that I trained for half a year?”
Chaerin spoke in a deep voice. She skipped directly over the cowards from the Lin mansion and questioned the elder from the Liu mansion instead.
The Liu mansion elder looked up at his own Young Miss. He could naturally sense the faint, imposing manner and heroic elegance radiating from her brows after breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.
His Young Miss had cultivated a positive result. As an elder of the Liu mansion, even if it went against the clan’s plans, he could not help but feel overwhelmed with gratitude.
“On behalf of the Liu mansion, this old man thanks Lady Ye for her gaudiness!”
“Go back and tell the Liu mansion that Ruoning has already broken through her Heavenly Mandate. If this rare Innate Liuli Holy Body is cultivated with care, she will surely become a top-tier elite at the [Peak of the Immortal Path]. Making Ruoning marry someone at such a young age now would be cutting off your own Liu mansion’s future!”
Ye Chaerin said each word distinctly.
The Liu mansion elder listened with excitement and nodded repeatedly, completely ignoring the several Lin mansion elders sitting aside whose faces looked like they had eaten shit.
Thinking of the people from the Lin mansion, Chaerin also felt amused.
“By the way, Yino is currently on Jinglan Peak… If the Lin family members wish to seek revenge, the time to avenge the Lin family’s Young Lord has arrived. Please feel free to climb the peak and find Yino.”
