Serene Lotus Sect...
Hello? Do I not get a say in this?
Sigh.
Whatever, I won't say anything. Negotiations went well, that's all that matters. Forget about the sect, not going.
''Ye.''
The Patriarch taps on his ring, after which a bottle of pills swiftly appears in his hand.
''Take this. It's medicine.''
His hand reaches out towards me, the pills giving off a faint but pleasant smell of herbs.
''Thank you, Patriarch.''
Without hesitation, I take the bottle and shove it into my pocket.
''One more thing, Ye.''
His voice low and slow, but the earlier arrogance and aggression is nowhere to be found.
''You really did lose your memory, haven't you?''
I nod my head slightly, a look of sorrow appearing in my eyes.
''Yes, Patriarch. When I look at you, my emotions swell, but no memory comes with it.''
I say, a slight crack in my voice as I mention my emotions.
''I see. Perhaps time will solve it. As for the... incident.''
His eyes darken instantly, the Qi around him becomes heavier as he delivers his next sentence.
''The Zhan family is responsible. They've been trying to take over our business for quite a while.''
His voice becoming lower with every word,
''The debt will be paid in blood. Your cultivation reassures me. Once we are done with the Xu family, the Zhan family will be next.''
Would you look at that. I like where this is going.
''As you wish, Patriarch.''
I bow down slightly, my expression hidden from view. A slight smirk forms on my lips as I imagine all the fear I will soon collect.
''I will give you an army of 300 strong. All of them are experienced escorts, better than your average guard. Most of them are in Qi Gathering stage middle stages, while some are in late stages.''
Yuexin's eyes lit up at the Patriarch's words, as if the support was greater than she expected.
''Wenji,''
As the Patriarch calls out a name, the butler from before enters the hall.
''At your service, Patriarch.''
With a deep bow, one hand placed on his chest, he speaks. His voice dignified.
''Gather the soldiers and prepare for war. Tomorrow, we'll send them over to the Lan family.''
''Consider it done, Patriarch. How many soldiers do we rally?''
No hesitation in his voice...
This family might be more insane than I thought.
''300, send primarily middle stages. Ye, you will set off tomorrow. The troops will be in your care.''
...
I don't want to be in charge.
I want to be on the battlefield, doing my own thing.
''Patriarch, I'm afraid my experience combined with a loss of memory would be detrimental to our war efforts. Please reconsider.''
The Patriarch raises his head as he looks down on me, his right hand stroking his beard in a rhythmic manner.
''As you wish. But I expect you to make full use of your cultivation on the battlefield.''
He turns around towards his seat, his voice low and slow.
''This whole war was your idea. I will hold you responsible for it.''
After a short pause, he continues,
''You may leave now. Wenji will resolve your accommodation.''
Time to visit the library once more.
