Chapter 0077 – Who Will Take Over the Position – Absolute Returns

“I ……”

Feng Tian Sect Leader opened his mouth, wanting to retort, but realized that he, simply, had no words to say.

He knew that the Blood Heavenly Dao Demon was right.

He had trapped this man, here, just to fulfill his own selfish desires, without ever thinking about what this man, really wanted.

“Sect Master Windsky, you’re right, an outstanding person should be, let him soar freely.” I looked at Sect Master Windsky and said with a smile, “What do you think?”

Sect Leader Windy Sky was silent.

He knew that he had, there was no way back.

Just then, the wine and food were ready.

We sat around the table and began to push and mingle.

I know that this banquet will decide the fate of many people.

That includes me, and that includes the man in shackles.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Ian suddenly stood up, walked to the man in shackles, and respectfully asked, “This senior, may I toast you with a glass of wine?”

The man lifted his head and glanced at Ian, a flicker of imperceptible surprise in his eyes.

He didn’t seem to expect that this soft looking young girl would, of her own accord, toast him.

“Of course.” He said lightly, with a hint of …… tenderness in his tone that he didn’t even notice himself?

Ian picked up the decanter and filled a glass of wine for the man, then raised his own glass and said with a smile, “Elder, please.”

The man picked up his glass, clinked it with Ian, and drank it down.

“Elder, have you been guarding this bell?” Ian asked curiously as he looked at the man.

“In the beginning, it did.” The man said lightly, “But now, it is this bell, that guards me.”

“It’s very similar to our young master, then.” Ian smiled and said, “In the beginning, it was me who protected him, and now, it’s him who protects me.”

The man sniffed and an imperceptible smile flashed in his eyes.

“This bell, it won’t let you leave, will it?” Ian looked at the man and asked, “Our young master, who always tells me to leave, says that he wants me to live the life I want. Do you think, he really thinks so? Or, does he just, not want me, to remain by his side?”

The man looked at Ian, a flicker of complexity in his eyes.

“If he really didn’t want you by his side, he wouldn’t have said, in front of everyone, that you were his beloved.” He said lightly, with a hint of …… envy in his tone that he himself didn’t even notice?

“Also oh.” Ian chuckled, “I guess I was overthinking it.”

As she said that, she turned her head to me and said with a smile, “What do you think, Young Lord?”

I looked at Ian, secretly amused.

This girl, really ……

I tapped the table gently, then pointed at Ian and said with a smile, “You, don’t tease her.”

Ian smiled at that.

“I was just, well, trying to liven things up.” She said with a smile.

Just then, Xi Da Long also stood up, walked over to Ian, and said with a smile, “Miss Ian, don’t worry, the young lord, he, is just not good at expressing his feelings.”

“Is that so?” Ian looked at Xi Da Long and asked, “Then tell me, our young master, what exactly does he think?”

“This well ……” Xidalong scratched his head and said with a smile, “I can only say that the young master he, attaches great importance to you, treats you, as his own person.”

“One of our own?” Ian repeated the word, an imperceptible flash of …… joy in his eyes?

“Not bad, one of our own.” Xi Da Long nodded and said with a smile, “Young Lord he, although he doesn’t say it on his lips, but in his heart, he considers you, as family.”

“Family ……” Ian repeated the word again, an imperceptible flash of …… emotion in his eyes?

I looked at the two of them, secretly amused.

These two, really ……

Just then, the man in shackles, suddenly opened his mouth and asked, “What would you do if someone, tried to take your place?”

His question, out of the blue, caused Xi Da Long, to freeze.

He looked at the man with surprise and disbelief in his eyes.

“I ……” Xidarong opened his mouth, but he didn’t know how to answer.

He’d never thought about that before.

“I am a man, timid and fearful, if someone, wants to take my place, I, I should, I would obediently, give it up to him.” He hesitated for a moment, and said, with a hint of …… inferiority in his tone which he himself did not perceive?

The man sniffed, and an imperceptible …… disappointment flashed in his eyes?

“Xidalong, you brat, you’ve really let me down!” The Blood Heavenly Dao Demon suddenly spoke, with a hint of hatred in his tone, “You, but my disciple! How can, be so weak?!”

“Master ……,” Xi Da Long looked at the Blood Heavenly Dao Demon, his eyes full of grievances.

“You remember, you are my disciple, the right-hand man of Young Lord Ximen!” The Blood Heavenly Dao Demon looked at Xi Dalong and said word for word, “No one can snatch your position! Whoever dares to snatch it, you will give it to me, and beat it back fiercely!”

“Yes, Master!” When Xi Da Long heard this, his spirit immediately lifted and he loudly answered.

“Xidalong, don’t worry, I will ‘train’ you well.” I looked at Xi Da Long and said with a smile.

“Thank you, Young Lord!” Xi Da Long said gratefully.

Right at this moment, Demon Monarch Zhang Hu suddenly stood up, walked over to the man in shackles, and said with a smile, “This brother, if Xidalong, he, doesn’t want this position, I, can take his place.”

“You?” The man looked at Zhang Hu, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

“Not bad, me.” Zhang Hu nodded and said with a smile, “I, am not as smart as Xi Da Long, but I, have a, loyal heart!”

He looked at me with determination in his eyes.

“Young Lord Ximen, I am willing, to be your right arm!” He exclaimed.

I looked at Zhang Hu and nodded in my heart.

This kid, really ……

“Good!” I said with a smile, “I, for one, accept your loyalty!”

“Many thanks, Young Lord!” Zhang Hu was overjoyed and hurriedly knelt down to kowtow.

I smiled and helped him up, then turned my head to the man in shackles and said with a smile, “How’s it going, these people of mine, are they still in your good graces?”

The man looked at me, a flicker of mixed emotions in his eyes.

He was silent for a few moments before he finally spoke, “You, are a man worth following.”

I sniffed and was delighted.

I knew that I, finally, had his approval!
