The smiling expression on the woman’s face was instantly restrained when she heard Tang Ye, and then she went silent for a short while before she glanced at Tang Ye and said, “At the beginning, I’d never thought about dragging you down with me. After all, you’re only a Profounder at the Mortal Realm. As for following you, no matter if you believe it or not, but in any case, I didn’t follow you intentionally. Because the path you fled just happened to be the path I intended to flee towards. It can be said that all of this was a coincidence!” “A coincidence?” Tang Ye almost swung a slap at the woman when he heard this. I was pursued by two forces all because of a coincidence? At this moment, he truly didn’t know whether he should laugh or fly into a rage. The woman continued. “As for the heading to the Shang Dynasty Ruins, I had no other choice. Because for some unknown reason, that Spirit Rank Darkbeast behind us mobilized the Darkbeasts in the Grand Myriad Mountains to pursue us. Logically speaking, he shouldn’t dare to make such a commotion, yet he did so. I think that you ought to know the reason for it!” Tang Ye couldn’t help but be speechless when he heard this. He naturally knew the reason, and it was because his Nether Wolf King had aroused the attention of the Spirit Rank Darkbeast. So, that Spirit Rank Darkbeast didn’t hesitate to utilize the other forces in the Grand Myriad Mountains to pursue them. In other words, he’d brought all of this upon himself.... When he thought up to here, Tang Ye felt extremely displeased in his heart, and he turned around to look at the woman before he said, “Then how about you leave now? So long as you leave, then they’ll probably let me off. At the very least, those human cavalries won’t pursue me!” The woman started smiling and said, “Little Brother, don’t even think of driving Big Sister away. Big Sister is definitely sticking with you.” What a joke, she’d finally found a powerful source of support with great difficulty, so how could she abandon it so easily? “Can you not be so shameless?” “No matter what you say, Big Sister won’t leave you. In short, Big Sister has chosen you in this lifetime!” “You’re still a King Realm expert at any rate. Have a bit of integrity, alright?” “Integrity? What’s that? All Big Sister needs is her chastity....” Tang Ye. “....” Tang Ye was truly speechless. He recalled the saying ‘One that abandons face is unbeatable!’. This woman was truly unbeatable. “Little Brother, are you really unwilling to join the Imperial Academy? Believe Big Sister, so long as you join the academy, then with your strength and natural talent, you’ll definitely soar into the sky. At that time, no matter if it’s cultivation techniques, combat techniques, authority, or beauties, you’d only have to say the word and you’d get an endless supply of it.” The woman didn’t want to give up on pulling Tang Ye into the Imperial Academy. Tang Ye turned around and sized the woman up, and then a wisp of a smile arose on the corners of his mouth as he said, “The beauties you spoke of wouldn’t be you yourself, right?” The woman was stunned, and then her face flushed red. However, she quickly returned to normal, and then she shot a seductive smile at Tang Ye while she said, “If Little Brother is able to obtain a position in the top three of the Imperial Academy’s Imperial Rankings, then it isn’t impossible to marry me. However, Little Brother probably doesn’t have the ability to accomplish that now. It isn’t that Big Sister is looking down on you, but the geniuses on that Imperial Rankings are truly too monstrous. Of course, Little Brother doesn’t have no chance at all....” “Stop!” Tang Ye interrupted her and said, “I’m not interested in that Imperial Rankings of yours, so don’t waste your effort on me. Besides that, I’m not interested in you as well. It’s the truth, and we’ll be splitting up once we arrive at that ruins you spoke of.” The woman sighed in a low voice when she noticed that Tang Ye seemed to be really uninterested in the Imperial Academy. However, she still didn’t want to give up, and she said with a serious expression, “Your strength is truly formidable, and your natural talent is definitely very good as well. However, you ought to be clearly aware that no matter how great a person’s natural talent is, but if that person doesn’t possess cultivation resources and the protection and backing of a power, then such a person’s accomplishments would definitely be limited. Especially in terms of backing, if a genius doesn’t choose a power as backing, then it’ll be very easy for that genius to die early.” She’d merely exchanged a single blow with Tang Ye, but it was precisely that blow that caused her to be extremely shocked by Tang Ye’s strength. Even at this very moment, she still vividly remembered the strength and speed of that sword strike. Coupled with the fact that Tang Ye said he didn’t belong to a sect, so she really hoped to be able to pull Tang Ye into the Grand Qin Empire’s side. “Backing?” Tang Ye sneered, and then he shook his head and said, “You’re right, backing really is very important, but can this backing really be relied on? Now, I have natural talent, I have natural endowment, and I have strength. So, numerous sects wouldn’t hesitate to take me in. However, I firmly believe that if I’m linked to the interests of this backing of mine, then it wouldn’t hesitate to abandon me! So, true strength only comes from one’s self. As for backing, it’s something that can’t be relied on!” When he thought about how the Sword Sect intended to hand him and his younger sister over, a strand of rage suddenly arose in Tang Ye’s heart. It wasn’t very long ago when he, Tang Ye, took the Sword Sect to be his backing, and he took pride in being a disciple of the Sword Sect. However, how did the Sword Sect treat him? Merely a few elders from the Flower Palace had made those elders of the Sword Sect hand him and his younger sister over without the slightest hesitation. What was the point of possessing such backing?
