Chapter 1779: Chapter 1779: Don’t Let Him Lose Face

“Heh.”

An Jiuyue let out a light chuckle, took the orange from her hand, and slowly began to peel it.

This Xie Qi was indeed living up to their expectations; in just a short time, he had spread the news of their possession of Ninth Grade Elixirs far and wide.

“Wei Na thinks that Xie Qi is a rare breed in the Qianyuan Plane,” An Jiuyue passed on Wei Na’s words to Qian Jiyun.

Any Sect brimming with evil intentions harbors many schemes, but this Xie Qi they encountered was truly an exception.

They barely detected any evil aura from him.

If the time came for her to take action against him, she honestly felt it would be a pity. She felt he could be reformed; perhaps he could even transform the Evil Sect from its past ways and become one of the Righteous Sects.

But of course, she wouldn’t say this out loud.

She’d wait and see. If there were a chance for Xie Qi to change, she might show him great mercy and spare him when the time came.

Just like with the Thousands of Demons Sect, her decision was to execute those who deserved death, and keep those who could be spared, letting Wan Yu become the Sect Master and giving them a chance to turn over a new leaf.

“The Evil Sect, let’s wait and see,” Qian Jiyun also said.

Not every practitioner of dark and crooked ways was utterly beyond redemption. If the Evil Sect truly had the intention to repent, he wouldn’t mind giving them an opportunity to reform.

Of course, the precondition was that they would no longer commit evil deeds.

The common people of the Qianyuan Plane had suffered enough from the torment of the Evil Faction. Everywhere they went, the public’s animosity towards the Evil Faction was evident, which even permeated the populace with vengeful Evil Thoughts.

“Master, someone is coming.”

Wei Na alerted his owner from within the space.

“It should be the Young Sect Master of the Thousands of Demons Sect and two Elders, but not the same two Elders we met before,” he added a reminder.

“They sure move quickly.”

An Jiuyue let out a soft laugh and murmured to herself before sitting up straight.

“Someone is coming.”

Qian Jiyun noticed the commotion outside and spoke up.

“Yes.”

An Jiuyue sighed softly, feeling the power of a Ninth Grade Alchemist’s reputation.

In such a short time, their attitude towards her had made a one hundred and eighty degree turn. If it hadn’t been for her deliberate arrangements, she might have even struggled to accept it.

“Remind Wan Yu to be careful not to show his face,” she suggested.

“Mhm.”

Qian Jiyun responded with a hum and passed a message to Wan Yu in the next room, asking him to disguise himself properly before coming out.

It seemed they were set to proceed to the Banquet Cloud Hall for food and drink.

Startled by Qian Jiyun’s message, Wan Yu, who had been sleeping in the adjacent room, suddenly woke up.

“That was fast; I was still sleeping.”

He got up from the bed and sat in front of the bronze mirror to check his face.

Since they were in the Thousands of Demons Sect, he hadn’t removed his disguise, fearing that if someone barged in, his cover would be blown.

“Looks like it’s my turn to act.”

Since visitors had arrived, he certainly couldn’t let them see his two masters, could he?

So, scanning the room, he picked up the tray from the table, which contained a plate of snacks and a pot of fine tea that he had previously brought from his superior for his own consumption.

But now, it was just the right time to make use of them.
