Double Cultivation
the guard for the Xie family
"I have a proposal for you, Su Yang." Lord Xie spoke with a serious expression on his face, "Join the Xieku Family as Guardians! As long as you agree, I will treat everything that happened today as if it never happened!"
"Y-Your Majesty ... it was somewhat ..." Senior Zhong looked at him with a shocked expression that was also filled with unwillingness and doubt.
The guardian is – someone who protects the family when needed. The status of the Guards for the Xie Family was similar to that of the General of the entire army and more, as they were the protectors of the number one family of this continent, and having such a title would bring endless fame to that individual.
Being one of the strongest Sword Masters in the continent, it was clear that Senior Zhong himself would become the Guardian for the Xie Family. However, just having a deep strength did not directly qualify one to become a Guardian for the Xie Family, as they also had to be a trusted individual.
This was why Senior Zhong felt that Lord Xie's decision to make Su Yang the Guardian for the Xie Family was inappropriate, as he was not an individual that they could fully trust at the moment, either, not to mention his actions today which basically spat on the face of the entire Xie Family. – and right before the presence of Lord Xie, no less.
"Huh? What can I get as a guardian?" Su Yang asked despite not having any intention to join the Xie Family as Guardians.
Lord Xie's eyes sparkled and he spoke, "Being the Xie Family Guardian is the same as joining us as a family member! Of course, as a member of our Xie Family, it is our responsibility to provide you with the resources to cultivate. More than that, we will also give you the highest Earth-level Spiritual Treasure! As for all the other things like fame and status, there was no need to even mention it! "
"Hmmm.." Su Yang pretended to think. If he had not met Qiuyue, then he might seriously consider joining the Xie Family for their cultivation resources.
The Blossom Sect would naturally be affected as well and might receive a flood of new disciples even if he did nothing during the Regional Tournament.
However, with his current plan in motion, the Blossom Sect would definitely become one of the most famous Sects in the entire continent after the Regional Tournament.
"i don't need an Earth Level Spiritual Treasure or any other benefits, but I might consider your offer if you give me your daughter," Su Yang said with a mischievous smile after a while.
"You.." Lord Xie tried his hardest not to explode with anger like before, but his body seemed to tremble.
"Your Majesty! Just give us orders and we will fight this bastard to the death even if we have the thinnest chance of winning!"
The guards were also trembling with anger, as they had never received such humiliation in their lives!
"Are you sure you want to refuse, Su Yang? This is an opportunity that will never come again" said Lord Xie, ignoring the guards.
"Yes" Su Yang said as he started walking towards the exit again.
Lord Xie sighed inwardly.being as disrespectful as Su Yang might be tolerated towards the Xie Family, but losing his profound strength was a huge loss to the Xie Family as a whole.
Moments later, just as Su Yang stepped out the door, dozens of people – most – guards were seen rushing towards him.
"Your Majesty! Are you hurt ?! What was that earthquake ?!" The guards rushed into the room.
"Quiet, everyone—"
"Dad, what was the Profound Qi just now?" Before Lord Xie could finish his sentence, a beautiful woman emitting an elegant aura emerged from behind the crowd.
"Young No-Miss!" Senior Zhong closed his face to his sudden arrival, which would definitely complicate things even further now.
"Senior Brother Xiao! What are you doing here ?!"
Senior Yang Zhong easily predicted, Xie Xingfang immediately noticed Su Yang's handsome face.
"It's been a long time." Su Yang showed a bright smile to her.
"…"
Other than Xie Xingfang's excited voice, everyone there was secretly watching them with wide eyes.
"If this is how they act as acquaintances, I can't imagine seeing them as friends!" Lord Xie cried inwardly.
How could they be mere acquaintances when they seemed so familiar together? At this rate, they might even share the bed as mere friends!
However, even though Lord Xie hated using his own daughter to his own advantage, he really wanted Su Yang's profound strength to be a part of his Xie Family, not to mention his mysterious background.
"Daughter, you came at the right time. I just had a discussion with this expert to see if he wanted to become the Guardian for the Xie Family" Lord Xie said.
"Your Majesty ?!" Senior Zhong could not believe his eyes or ears.
Did Lord Xie use his daughter to persuade Su Yang? Even though he was going to kill Su Yang for mentioning his daughter a few minutes ago? The change in attitude was too sudden!
Of course, in a world where strength ranked first in almost every situation, Lord Xie did not mind acting shameless in the slightest as long as his Xie Family obtained another expert.
"really ?! Senior brother Xiao, are you going to be the Guardian for our Xie Family?" Xie Xingfang looked at him with begging eyes.
Under normal circumstances, any individual who was faced with a pleading expression would nod their head without hesitation or contemplation. But alas for him, Su Yang was a man with countless experiences with women under his belt and remained indifferent even under Xie Xingfang's irresistible appearance.
"I'm sorry, but I've already turned down the offer" Su Yang said with an apologetic smile.
Xie Xingfang's happy expression became a little sad after hearing his words.
However, he did not suppress it and said, "i'm sure you have a reason, so I won't ask. But since you're here, why don't we sit down and have some tea? I have some things I want to talk to you about this. I did not receive an answer no this time! "
Su Yang nodded. "My business here is done, so I will accept the offer" he replied.
"Great! Then follow me."
"Wait-wait!" Lord Xie quickly stopped them.
"What's up, dad? Senior brother Xiao is my important guest now," he turned around and asked while frowning, hoping that lord Xie would not make things difficult for them.
"Where are you two going?" Lord Xie asked.
"My room, of course." Xie Xingfang replied without hesitation.
Lord Xie frowned and spoke, "Only the two of you? Hmph! Unless Senior Zhong comes with you, never think about it!"
Xie Xingfang turned to look at Senior Zhong, who was staring back with a helpless smile on his face.
"OK." he quickly agreed.
