"Yin Sect Leader."

Feng Xing said politely, "Sorry to keep you waiting."

"No need for apologies, Young Master Xing. Do you have any instructions? I will definitely comply."

"It's nothing major, just a small matter concerning your sect's Baiyun State sub branch Leader, Starlight." Young Master Xing smiled.

"Starlight?" A murderous glint flashed in the eyes of Yin Shen Palace.

Young Master Xing accurately caught that murderous intent and smiled faintly, saying, "Yes, Starlight is a talent."

Yin Shen Palace nodded slowly, "Indeed a talent, I will make good use of him when I return."

Young Master Xing chuckled lightly and said, "Let's be direct, shall we? It is said that the Yin Sect Leader is not very fond of Starlight?"

Yin Shen Palace remained silent.

"Starlight is now under my care; I just wish for him to gain more experience for a while."

When Young Master Xing noticed that Yin Shen Palace was feigning ignorance, he lost his patience and coldly said, "I hope the Yin Sect Leader can take good care of him."

Yin Shen Palace slowly said, "Is such a minor sect branch Leader really worth this much to Young Master Xing?"

"That's not your concern. I have my own reasons for what I do." Young Master Xing replied unceremoniously.

"But Starlight is still with our Yixin Sect, privately nurturing and transferring him is an act of betrayal."

Yin Shen Palace took a deep breath, reluctantly but worrying, said, "Young Master Xing, every nation has its laws, and every family its rules, and each sect has its own regulations."

Young Master Xing lightly said, "Oh? Does the Yin Sect Leader wish to speak of rules to me?"

Yin Shen Palace lowered his head in defeat, "I dare not."

Young Master Xing stood up, looked down at Yin Shen Palace, and said, "Yin Sect Leader, let's make it clear today, although Starlight is under your command, he must not meet with any mishap. If anything happens to Starlight, neither will you survive past tomorrow! This is my word!"

Yin Shen Palace breathed heavily, clearly in a fury, restrained his anger, and said, "Starlight Leader will continue to exist."

"And he must be promoted according to his rightful achievements. I only demand fairness, not favoritism. If he deserves to be a Hall Master, let him be a Hall Master, if he deserves to enter the Protection Hall, let him enter the Protection Hall, and if he deserves to be Vice Sect Hierarch, so be it!"

Young Master Xing continued, "Do you understand?"

Yin Shen Palace clearly was furious.

Yet dared not act out.

He gritted his teeth, unable to contain yet unable to bite, breathing heavily, after a long while, he said, "I understand, but… with Starlight's current ability, he might not be capable of such responsibility. Moreover, his cultivation is lacking, and we in the Yixin Sect do not have extra resources."

"You don't need to worry about that part!"

Young Master Xing coldly said, "My people don't need your resources?! "

"I have just one request."

Yin Shen Palace seemed to be past anger, struggling to say aloud.

"Speak."

"Once Starlight has fully matured, he must leave the Yixin Sect immediately! And, for the rest of his life, he is not to re-enter the Yixin Sect!" Yin Shen Palace said, word by word, bowed head.

"You think your Yixin Sect is some kind of great place..." Young Master Xing sneered, "I agree!"

"Starlight must not retaliate against us for past grievances!"

"Agreed!"

Young Master Xing coolly said, "Do you have any other questions?"

"None."

"Then, remember well your words and your promise."

Young Master Xing stood up, hands behind his back, turned around, and looked at Yin Shen Palace with hawk-like eyes, "Yin Sect Leader, you're a smart person, don't do anything foolish."

"I will certainly remember!"

Young Master Xing nodded slightly, "Well then, I'll take my leave."

"Farewell, Young Master Xing."

Young Master Xing's white robe was as bright as snow, his demeanor elegant, as he exited.

He did not look back.

To Young Master Xing, someone nearly two thousand years old who managed only to become a sect leader was really not worth his attention.

At thirty, his cultivation and battle power could easily crush Yin Shen Palace.

Compared to himself, that guy's nearly two thousand years were lived like a dog's life; what's there to respect?

If it wasn't for having a talent like Starlight, this young master wouldn't even spare him a glance.

After Young Master Xing had left for a long time, Yin Shen Palace finally came out with a sullen face.

Wu Xiang asked with concern, "What happened?"

"Young Master Xing took away one of my men."

Yin Shen Palace's face looked sinister as he recounted his grievances with Starlight, as well as Starlight's connection to Ren Zhongyuan, he said with resentment, "I originally intended to kill him once I returned..."

Wu Xiang laughed heartily, patting Yin Shen Palace's shoulder, "Be magnanimous! You're different now, why bother with it? Come, I'll accompany you for some major shopping, afterwards, you should prepare for your return, and I have to report back to my family, it will be some time before I return."

Though Yin Shen Palace seemed safe now, Wu Xiang certainly wouldn't travel with him.

It was too dangerous!

Yin Shen Palace respectfully said, "Fortunately, I've prepared some gifts for the Chief's household, please accept them graciously."

"Hey, you guy, so formal with me still."

The Chief pretended to be angry but took them anyway.

If it wasn't for witnessing Yin Shen Palace's current glory, this Chief Wu would never have accepted. But now, it was entirely different.

"Yin Sect Leader, be very careful on your journey back, extremely cautious!"

Wu Xiang cautioned, word by word, with deeper meaning.

"Thank you, Chief." Yin Shen Palace also felt an internal chill.

Yin Shen Palace walked through the Headquarters City, shopping extravagantly.

Chief Wu Xiang even lent him a Space Ring for temporary use—giving it was out of question.

After all, it was too valuable.

But for Yin Shen Palace, temporary lending was already enough.

Now the Yin Sect Leader was complacently relishing the sights of the Divine Capital. He knew, in the Divine Capital, he was absolutely safe, the real danger was on the road, on the way home.

Though Vice Sect Master Yan's attitude was clear, Yin Shen Palace still felt uncertain if he would make it back to the Yixin Sect alive.
