Cai Lien
"How is this happening? I have to go on a mission with him???" My body was red hot. My cheeks flushed red. Just thinking about him, his hair shining in the sun, and his eyes glaring right at me, I could not think about anything else.
"Of all the people, how the hell did you get feelings for him?!" my inner voice shouted at me.
But I had no answer. That day, when he defeated me, I just felt something change. He was no longer that trash young master that everyone just talked about. He turned into something different.
"No. This is not the time to think about this. I have a mission to focus on. I have to go to Pill Tower. I have to make sure that everything goes according to plan." I shook my head.
I sighed as I put my sash to the side. The inner sect was chaotic. Because I was the new Inner Sect Disciple, I was allowed to get the advice of an elder one on on! It was incredible. I was able to finally breach a subject of the Dao and of cultivation that I could never do in the family.
Just thinking about the family irritated me. They were ready to sell me off so that that bastard of a son could become the patriarch.
"And he was the one who saved you from that plight." the same figure appeared before my eyes again.
"Stop thinking about it. I could barely last the past month. Now, god knows how long I have to go on this mission with him. Will he be like all men are? The people that mother warned me about? He was called the idiot young master." I told myself.
He had the worst reputation in the entire city, and that did not come easily. He had to do a lot of bad things to get there.
"I should just go out and take a nice walk." I decided.
Slipping into the Sect Robes, I headed out of my residence.
"Junior Sister Cai Lien is leaving her residence!"
The moment that I stepped out, I heard the same annoying voice that I hated for the last week.
"Now these are the men that I need to stay clear of." I thought as I glared at the man who was just sitting cooped up in front of my house.
Although these were the residences that were dedicated for the women, this man was allowed to just stand here to keep an eye on my residence.
Why?
Because he was a lackey of the despicable Hong Jimin.
The number one disciple of the Inner Sect. The one who was at the peak of the Houtian Sect. It was said that the only reason that he wasn't in the Core Sect was because he did not want to leave the inner sect where he lived like a king.
What luck did I have, for me to catch his eye so soon after I entered the sect? And it was not like I could even use my paltry background against him. I was a girl from a branch family of the main Cai family.
Meanwhile, Hong Jimin was from the Hong Family, another one of the three families under. And he was not a part of a branch family. He was a direct lineage descendant.
"Thank god I will be leaving the sect and escaping him for a while. I was thinking that I would never be able to escape his grasp for the next year." I sighed with relief just thinking about what lay next.
"What are you doing, Junior Sister? I just heard the bad news. It turns out that you are leaving the sect for a mission!" I heard a voice in front of me.
I did not even need to look up to know who it was.
"How the hell did you know? I haven't told anyone yet." I frowned as I looked at Hong Jimin's face.
"Word travels fast in the Inner sect. Especially when it is word that I care about. Now, I hear that you will be leaving alone with another male disciple, but this one is from the Outer sect. How dare this person accept the mission even after knowing that I exist. I hear that this person has caused quite the stir once he arrived." Hong Jimin said.
"What are you implying?" I raised my eyebrows.
"He offended a Deacon, and for some reason, after the Deacon rushed into his house for some payback, this disciple just disappeared for one month! Now, he is returning to the sect again. He must have gone through some rigorous punishment during this time." Hong Jimin said, smiling.
"What is this all got to do with me? If you have something to say, just say it." I snorted.
"Well the thing is, it is common knowledge that your beauty has smitten me. And this man that you are going on this mission with, he is from the same city that you come from. Now, I am not supposed to care about this little pumpkin, should I? I certainly hope not." Hong Jimin said, finally revealing what he wanted.
I could not say anything. If I even showed the slightest bit of concern towards Liu Feng, then his life would become a living hell. Already, every inner sect male who even talked to me ended up having severe injuries mysteriously. I did not want to cause another one of these incidents again.
"Why would I care about the idiot young master of the Liu Family? He is the last person that I want to associate with. But I keep telling you, Senior brother, I am not interested in you. I hope that you can keep away from me." I said, trying to keep a straight face.
"That is exactly what I knew you would say, Junior Sister. That is why, I thought about sending Yu Jinpeng here to help you take care of this rascal while you are on your mission. I pulled some strings, and although I cannot come with you, he will be."
