YM778.TV Chapter 236 - Envoy Xi
"What a good eyesight this Youngmaster has. It leaves me in awe and admiration." Sumire was really surprised and speechless. Just what kind of power this young man has to know it from the start. After a careful thinking, she concluded that Jin Rou came from the True Realm and he\'s probably an important disciple of a strong constellation there. After all, only the people above had this kind of capability.
"Actually, it was you who has a great eyesight, right? After all, you know how to look at people well." Jin Rou said.
He was really impressed of how this old woman dealt with the situation. If it\'s some old blind beings in the past, they would have already been roasted by Jin Rou.
"Youngmaster is praising me too much." Sumire was delighted by the praise. After all, not to mention that her sect was spared, she also earned a respect of someone from a behemoth constellation. With the future benefits in the long run, this lowering of her pride wasn\'t worth mentioning at all. Bowing her head for a junior so that they could have a chance to prosper? That\'s easier than letting the tigers in inside their den.
"Since you did the right thing, do you wish for anything?" Jin Rou was in a good mood right now. He acted like he\'s the senior between Sumire and him.
Of course, Sumire didn\'t mind this at all and was instead happy of the pleasant surprise. She was about to say something when a disciple suddenly barged in.
"Do you not know how to knock the door? Do you want to die that badly?" Sumire stared daggers at the disciple who barged in.
"Ancestor, I\'m sorry! But this is urgent." The disciple immediately kneeled down and apologized, he knew this was going to happen so he braced himself for the consequences. What matters right now was that he deliver this report.
Seeing the determined expression of the disciple, Sumire forced her urge down and said, "Speak. Make it short or else I will kill you on the spot!"
"They came." The disciple meekly said.
"..." Sumire was flabbergasted as she clenched her fists. She emitted a murderous aura that engulfed the entire room that even Owner Bu was affected.
After a while, Sumire smiled deviously as she said, "So they finally came, huh. I\'m sorry Youngmaster but I have to deal with some serious matters right now. Is it okay for you to stay here and enjoy the tea? I will be back as soon as possible."
"Of course, it will be okay." Jin Rou smiled, "But it\'s quite boring if I and Owner Bu were to be left behind. How about we tag along with you?"
"This..." Sumire didn\'t know what to say. This was a serious problem that she needed to solve or else they would face a total annihilation from this land. As this was a personal problem, she didn\'t have a reason to let them tag along. But in the end, she nodded, "Okay, if that\'s what you want Youngmaster."
Hearing this response, Jin Rou smiled sweetly and stood up.
Yes, he was asking for a trouble.

"Such a nice way of treating your guest here. Making me wait for so long? Heh. That\'s quite admirable." The one who said this was a man wearing a glasses. What\'s eye-catching was the sharp chin he had. With an annoyed look, he was tapping on the table with his long fingers.
"This, I\'m sorry to make you wait, Envoy Xi. I had some matters to attend to, so I wasn\'t able to receive you." Sumire smiled and ordered the maid to pour a cup of tea for the envoy. After the cup was filled, Sumire smiled and asked, "So what brings the envoy of Late Starhouse here in my humble sect?"
Late Starhouse was a powerful sect of Havenleaf. And though they weren\'t part of the 5 pillars, their strength didn\'t fall behind that much. In fact, they had the capability to threaten the position of one of the pillars.
"No beating around the bush, huh?" Envoy Xi smiled sarcastically, "Very well. Our Late Starhouse would like to propose an alliance with your sect."
"That\'s a good idea but we are not in need of help right now." Sumire tried to retain her smile. The way this bastard talk to her made her want to tear him into thousand pieces. Just imagine, a Divine Monarch was being treated this way by a mere Envoy? Surely, they grew some guts. Although she was foul-tempered, this situation was more serious than it seemed as everything lied here. The lives, their lives were on the line.
"Don\'t refuse yet, Ancestor Sumire." Envoy Xi picked the teacup and took a sip, "As you are aware, our power is currently getting stronger and we are almost at the stage that we can win a war against your sect. Just think about it, if our power were to be added in your ranks, wouldn\'t it be as powerful as those top 3 pillars that everyone looks up to? Our alliance will be a great help for you. After all, I heard that the Leaf Sword Sect is already declining."
"Haha, you can win a war against us? Keep dreaming." Although Sumire was not flying in rage, her murderous aura had already engulfed the entire place, "You are talking as if you are already greater than us. As if you are really lending a hand. But it\'s not the case, is it? With scheming folks like your sect who wanted nothing but power? A sincere help was possible for others, except yours."
Envoy Xi\'s face hardened. He was being suffocated by the murderous aura, "What are you trying to say?"
"What I want to say?" Sumire laughed coldly and answered, "You better get out of my face before I tear you apart. Faster, I might change my mind here. I really don\'t care about your house or anything. It was not enough to threaten me. We will never ally ourselves with scheming foxes like you."
