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
The crowd immediately exclaimed. They were perplexed and focused on Darryl."I never expected the head of the Elixir Sector to do such things.""Yes. On the outside, he looks like a gentleman but deep down, he's full of sh*t…""The public's morality has worsened…"Zacho furrowed his brows as the crowd whispered among themselves. In fact, he did not interact much with Darryl, but he did not think Darryl was that kind of person."All of you, shut up!" Suddenly, Sofia collected her thoughts. At first, she looked at Vincent, then turned to Sherman. After that, she cried out, "He is not like that. Don't you dare accuse him!"She looked at Darryl with trust in her eyes as she spoke.Darryl had spent most of his time in the Elixir Sector since being assigned as the head of the Elixir Sector a month ago. Sofia was his maid and an Elixir Assistant at the time, looking after Darryl's daily needs.Darryl would have harmed Sofia long ago if he had been a lustful person, but he did not. Ins
After that, Sofia took the jade pendant and, per Zacho's instructions, lightly placed it on Gigi's Qingming Point.Everyone in the room looked at Gigi, waiting for her response.'Sh*t…'Vincent began to panic. 'When Gigi wakes up, I am not sure I will be able to shake their suspicions. After all, I was the one who suggested sending the hangover soup to Gigi.'Vincent became so nervous for a brief moment that he almost fell over.Sherman then walked forward slowly and lightly patted Vincent's shoulder. He muttered, "Do not worry, Senior Brother. We will be fine even if Senior Sister Gigi wakes up."Just wait for my cue."Sherman exuded confidence as he spoke.Vincent immediately felt relieved and calmed down. He was familiar with his junior brother. He would not sound confident if he were not certain."Hmm…" Gigi, who had been unconscious, let out a soft moan and awoke under the influence of the jade pendant's chill. Her body, however, remained frail.'Hmm?' Gigi shuddered w
As Sofia uttered her last words, everyone looked at Vincent with rage.'Gulp!'Vincent began to panic in that situation, but he retorted, his face flushed. "Stop talking nonsense, Little Girl. Why would I drug Junior Sister Gigi?"Then, he quickly said, "Junior Sister Gigi, after you've taken the hangover soup, you lay down to rest. I did not disturb you and left immediately."He looked to Sherman for assistance as he spoke.Sherman immediately marched forward and nodded. "That is correct. I can attest to that, Senior Sister Gigi. I could not sleep, and as I passed by your room, I saw Senior Brother coming out of it. How could I not have seen it if he were to have ill thoughts toward you?"After that, Senior Brother and I took a walk nearby, and when we returned, we saw Darryl trying to defile you."Vincent continuously nodded. "Yes, that was what happened."'This…'Immediately, Gigi's delicate face became confused, and she was flustered.'Vincent has Sherman as a witness, p
