As he spoke, Darryl scratched at his head. "I'm not getting an ounce of sincerity.""You…"Vincent could hardly contain his anger at the look on Darryl's face. F*ck, he had said sorry, did he not? What more did Darryl want?At the indignant look on Vincent's face, Darryl smiled lightly. "We agreed earlier that you would serve me tea on top of apologizing. Did you forget that?"Vincent held back his anger, pouring a cup of tea and bringing it to Darryl.Darryl was not going to forgive him so easily. Nevertheless, he showed no intention of taking the cup as he asked, "Is this how you apologize to your master when you've made a mistake, Vincent?"Huh?Vincent's expression darkened as he said in a displeased tone, "What are you trying to say?"Darryl smiled. "I'm at about the same status as your master. Since you've made a mistake, you have to be disciplined.""I don't think it's too much for me to ask you to kneel when you serve me the tea, is it?"Vincent's anger skyrocketed. H
Seeing her admire Darryl so much only made the displeasure in Vincent's chest grow even more.He hurried to change the subject. "That's enough. Let's not talk about that."As he spoke, Vincent glanced around him. Then, upon making sure that no one could overhear the two of them, a smile appeared on his face as he said in a mysterious tone, "I've got some good news, Sister Gigi.""What good news?" Gigi perked up at the words.Vincent took a deep breath, walking closer to gaze deeply into Gigi's eyes. "I told my master about us before I made the trip to the North Sea Galaxy. He's given us his blessing to bring me to the Pure Yang Division in half a month to ask your master for your hand in marriage."Vincent was overwhelmed with emotion.He considered himself and Gigi as practically childhood lovers, and he had dreamt of marrying her many a night. Since his master had agreed to let him propose, he could hardly contain his joy.Hand in marriage?Gigi was startled by his words. "Wh
After making up his mind, Vincent returned to his room to rest.In his room, he saw a handsome young man meditating. Dressed in a long white gown, he looked two or three years younger than Vincent.It was Vincent's Junior Brother—Sherman Chon.Vincent represented the Heavenly Ocean Sect to discuss forming a treaty with the North Sea Galaxy, and he was accompanied by Sherman. Due to his young age, he rarely moved about within the community, and his Master deliberately brought him out to gain experience.Seeing that Vincent had returned, Sherman quickly stood up and greeted him with a smile. "Master! The banquet ended so quickly?"Due to his junior qualifications, he was not qualified to attend banquets at the main hall, so he waited in the room.Vincent hummed softly in response.That night, he embarrassed himself in front of Darryl. Not only that, but he was also rejected by Gigi after confessing his feelings to her. At that moment, he felt down in the dumps. Sherman had not n
Sherman chuckled when he heard Vincent's answer and added, "Very well."Then, he took out a little jade vial and said secretively, "Senior Brother, you mentioned that Senior Sister Gigi drank quite a bit at the banquet earlier. Later, tell her that you're sending her some hangover soup and mix this into it."Once she takes a sip, she'll quickly become unconscious. Then, you can do whatever you want. Even if she wakes up and feels unwell, she'd think it was caused by drinking, so she wouldn't suspect you."After that, Sherman passed the jade vial to Vincent.'This…'Holding the jade vial, Vincent felt doubtful and furrowed his brows. "Is that a good idea?"Though he was always arrogant and domineering, he had a good conscience deep down.'Plus, Master has already approved the marriage and said that he'd propose the marriage at the Pure Yang Division on his own. If I fail to force myself on Sister Gigi tonight and if I get exposed, we'd never get together.'Seeing Vincent hesitat
'Vincent?'Gigi furrowed her brows when she heard Vincent's voice. She cracked the door open and said tiredly, "Vincent, I'm about to go to bed."Gigi thought Vincent was there to discuss the proposal, so she felt very conflicted.Seeing Gigi acting so distant, Vincent was displeased, but he still put on a smile and pretended."Haha! Gigi, you drank quite a bit earlier. You must be feeling unwell now. I made you some hangover soup. Drink it while it's hot. Then, you'll be able to rest well."In the end, he took out the hangover soup he had brought.'Hangover soup?'Looking at the steaming hot bowl of soup that Vincent brought, Gigi was startled, and she felt bad at the same time.'I thought he came to talk about the proposal. Turns out he brought me soup. He's so thoughtful. I almost blamed him wrongly.'"Thank you, Vincent!" Then, Gigi grinned, opened the door, and said embarrassedly, "Come on in. It's cold outside."In fact, it was late at night, and Gigi did not intend t
"It's… It's not that I don't like you, but I just want to stay with Master for a few more years, and I don't intend to get married for the time being, so don't take this the wrong way. My rejection has nothing to do with Darryl. I hope you understand, Senior Brother."Gigi's voice became incredibly soft as she uttered the last two sentences. She mumbled, and her voice could not be heard. Her entire body also became stiff.Gigi felt bad for rejecting Vincent so directly after knowing him for many years. She thought she would take that chance to explain herself.However, the more Gigi explained, the more Vincent believed she had fallen in love with somebody else.Vincent did not express his feelings. Instead, he pretended to be understanding and comforted Gigi with a smile."Gigi, don't say that. I was too abrupt earlier. Plus, marriage is a big thing. I also think I should've discussed this with you first. It wasn't right to decide on my own and ask Master to propose the marriage."
'Sh*t!'As Sherman was focused on peeping, he was startled by the sudden voice that came from behind him.Sherman was fearful when he turned around and saw it was Darryl.'D*mn it. I thought it was someone else. Turns out it's just the head of the Elixir Sector of the Pure Yang Division.'In fact, if it were to be someone else, Sherman would be extremely nervous, but with Darryl, he remained calm. Although Darryl was in a high position, he was powerless and therefore, harmless.At that moment, Darryl walked over and furrowed his brows as he sized Sherman up. "Hey! What are you doing here?"As he spoke, he subconsciously looked into the room.'The room is still lit, and it looks like Gigi hasn't gone to bed. This man sneaking outside the door looks really suspicious.'As a matter of fact, Darryl had met Sherman at the main hall, and he knew he was Vincent's Junior Brother, but because of Vincent, Darryl did not have a good impression of Sherman.The Geomancy of Yin and Yang tha
"You are the head of the Elixir Sector, and you are doing this? Tsk, tsk... What a pity for the Pure Yang Division!"As he spoke, Vincent gave Sherman a nod of approval.'Junior Brother is so smart! Why haven't I thought of that? Even if someone comes later, Darryl will be unable to refute on his own as long as Junior Brother and I make the same statements.''I was the perpetrator, and now I've become a witness. How nice it is!''F*ck you!'Darryl's face immediately turned cold. He had never expected Vincent and Sherman to be so despicable as to bring suit against the victim.As Darryl thought, he said coldly to Vincent, "Stop your malicious slander. You know what happened."At that moment, sounds of footsteps came from outside. Then, Zacho and a few other elders rushed in. As the night was quiet, Darryl and the two apprentice brothers could be heard loudly as the people went to take a look.Sofia came running over when she heard the dispute.'This…'Everyone in the room was
