The opportunity has passed, it's over, you've recovered...

The murderous intent of the Young Master Xing has diminished by at least half.

"So I thought, I would suppress my cultivation and wait three more years to participate in the Cultivating Gu to Become a God Plan."

The Starlight Master gave a bitter smile: "Who would have thought that a change occurred within the sect, the Vice Sect Hierarch rebelled and was killed, and all his supporters were completely annihilated."

"And as for my survival, partly because I wasn't at the Headquarters, and partly because my cultivation was too low. That's why I was spared a life."

"I survived, but... I was also labeled as part of the Vice Sect Hierarch's faction on my body."

"In this life, within the Yixin Sect, I have virtually no chance for a turnaround. Because, I am someone cultivated by the Vice Sect Hierarch!"

The Starlight Master's expression was bleak, and he smiled bitterly: "Now the Young Master Xing thinks I am Yemo... I am truly delighted, yet so bitter... If only I really were Yemo, how wonderful it would be!!"

He sighed in a vent-like manner, heavily saying: "How wonderful it would be!!!"

The Young Master Xing also sighed heavily, saying: "So your experience was like this."

He frowned in deep thought.

Although there were still doubts in his heart, and he kept saying, 'I am listening to your excuses', the idea of 'Starlight is Yemo' in his heart had unknowingly dissipated by ninety percent.

Because what the Starlight Master said could be verified.

No wonder he changed the way he addressed me earlier, showing a hint of allegiance, it turns out it was for self-preservation.

"No, it's still not right."

The Young Master Xing's eyes regained sharpness: "With Ren Zhongyuan's label on you, how could you still be the Leader in Baiyun State, and achieve such a large scale?"

The Starlight Master smiled bitterly: "Hearing the Young Master Xing's words, it seems your investigation into Baiyun State's sub branch was not thorough enough."

"Oh? How so?"

The Young Master Xing frowned.

"After the Cultivating Gu to Become a God Plan ended, I fawned and flattered, tried all means possible, and since there was no one useful in Baiyun State, I managed to barely scrape by."

The Starlight Master said wryly: "At that time, besides a few lowly money-gathering shops, it was just me in all of Baiyun State."

"All Yixin Sect forces, and other sect powers, were removed. Clean as a slate, it had become a vacuum zone for the Wei Wo Zheng Sect."

"And my appointment as the Leader was made before the Headquarters' sub branch assessment."

"Which means, I wasn't appointed as a Leader through this Headquarters assessment to expand territories. It was about half a month earlier that I became the Leader."

The Starlight Master explained.

"Hmm? How did this happen?" The Young Master Xing evidently hadn't investigated this deeply, and immediately perked up. This was something verifiable, not a lie.

"At that time, it was said to be the order from the Sect Hierarch, appointing me as the Leader of the Baiyun State sub branch. And there was a strict command to reestablish the Yixin Sect's Baiyun State sub branch!"

The Starlight Master laughed bitterly: "But Young Master Xing, did you know? At that time, I was alone here, and not a single person from the sect was assigned to me. Up to now, still no one has been sent. You can check on this."

The Young Master Xing was taken aback: "Is there really such a thing?"

The Starlight Master smiled bitterly, speechless.

He spread his hands, wearing a bitter expression.

The Young Master Xing was truly surprised this time.

He didn't expect that the Yin Shen Palace would be so ruthless.

But he believed it was true, because... just by asking someone randomly, one could find out. Xing Mangtian wouldn't dare to deceive him with such an easily exposed lie.

"Just a few days ago, because we needed to prepare for the Headquarters' inspection, the Sect Hierarch personally came to inspect once first."

The Starlight Master said with a blank expression: "The Sect Hierarch, before leaving, asked me one question."

The Young Master Xing asked: "What question?"

"The Sect Hierarch sternly asked me if I was willing, after the inspection, to take up a post elsewhere."

The Starlight Master smiled bitterly.

The Young Master Xing slammed the table: "The Yin Shen Palace is too much! So much effort... "

He stood up, looking at the expansive and magnificent super sub branch that had even been approved by the Headquarters.

Then thinking about the one who single-handedly created all this, and yet is to be transferred, allowing others to reap the fruits, he suddenly felt a surge of indignation rising in his heart.

He took a deep breath and said: "So what did you respond?"

"I am willing."

The Starlight Branch Leader replied with a blank expression.

The Young Master Xing let out a long sigh.

But given the Starlight Master's situation, it seemed that apart from those four words, there was nothing else he could say.

The Starlight Master, eyes blank, said softly: "The Young Master Xing thinks I am Yemo, but did you know... about two months ago, I casually asked if Lord Night Demon was still in Baiyun State?"

"The result was that on the same night, Yemo found the sub branch. I wasn't there, and he killed ten of the head escorts from the Headquarters' family with one sword, then sliced open the dantian and heads of the corpses, checking how advanced his Swordsmanship was."

"He left a message before leaving saying... this was cleaning the house for me, so I didn't have to thank him."

"I had nothing, painstakingly developing the sub branch, and my ten able subordinates, even belonging to the Headquarters' family, were killed just like that! How did he treat my efforts? He trampled on the prestige I had built in front of my subordinates this way. What does he take me, Starlight, for?"

The Starlight Master looked like he was suffocating, his hands clenched into fists.

The veins on his arms bulged.

His eyes seemed about to pop out, anger surging, but after a long while, he exhaled deeply, his clenched fists slowly relaxing, saying heavily: "... Young Master Xing, forgive me, I lost my composure."
