Zong Fu pushed down the jealousy that was boiling in his chest. He smiled and said politely, “Congratulations, Gate Master Jiu.”
Jiu Luo smiled faintly. “Thank you. Sect Master is still young, and it probably won’t take long for you to reach Advanced Holy Warrior tier.”
Indeed, Zong Fu was much younger compared to Jiu Luo, who had reached the golden age.
Zong Fu’s facial expression grew better.
Jiu Luo had only made a breakthrough to Advanced Holy Warrior tier at this old age, and he would definitely be able to reach this rank soon.
He still had a long life ahead of him. There would always be other opportunities in the future.
Jiu Luo’s gaze slowly turned to Jiu Ming. He frowned as he asked indifferently, “Mu’er, what are you doing there? Our Deities Gate is not over there, are you standing in the wrong place?”
The man wearing a purple robe stood in the light breeze. His handsome face covered by a mask, making it hard to see his facial expression.
However, his pair of cold and evil eyes were filled with sarcasm and mockery after hearing Jiu Luo’s words.
He sneered.
“I’m not standing in the wrong place, Deities Gate… What does that have to do with me?”
His voice was as loud as thunder, shocking everyone’s heart.
Everyone looked at Jiu Ming in disbelief.
‘Is he going to give up Deities Gate… For Feng Ruqing?’
Jiu Luo’s face darkened, but he still managed to hold back all of his anger in front of Jiu Ming.
Among the great powers in Deities Gate, the only one he could be satisfied with was Jiu Ming, who had an outstanding ability unmatched by anyone.
The only pity was the birthmark on his face, which made everyone regard him as unlucky, making it difficult for him to control Deities Gate.
Therefore, he had left Deities Gate to find his own way, but the old master had never expected that Jiu Ming would be able to achieve what he had today…
His other grandchildren, including even his son, were useless! They only knew to sit around idly and enjoy the fruits of other’s work.
Only Jiu Ming was fitted to be his successor…
As for the birthmark… That was easy. He would find a way to get rid of it. Without the birthmark, no one would say that he is unlucky, and no one would see him as a demon again. Then, he could hand over Deities Gate to him.
“Ming’er, I know you have suffered a lot of things. Grandfather will handle it for you later. As long as you want to come back, I will not punish you for disobeying me in public today.”
Perhaps it was only Jiu Ming who could make him step back again and again.
If it were any of his other grandsons, he would not be so tolerant like this!
This time… Jiu Ming’s heart might have softened a little, right?
***
The cold smile on Jiu Ming’s face grew bigger, and his cold gaze contained no emotions.
He looked as calm as ever.
Suddenly…
A slender jade-like hand landed on his shoulder, easing his stiff shoulders.
The young girl’s fine hair brushing her face. She was so beautiful that no words could adequately describe her.
Even Jiu Luo was stunned when he saw Feng Ruqing.
He had never seen such an outstanding girl in his life.
She was comfortingly beautiful, the kind of beauty that one could never get bored of even after looking at her for a long time.
No wonder his grandson, who had never fallen in love with anyone before, was so fond of her…
Even a hero would have a hard time resisting beauty.
Too bad… He wanted an obedient and sensible child to be his heir, not this kind of person who was addicted to beauty and easily compelled…
“So, you want to take the responsibility of Jiu Ming to decide?” The young girl smiled as she turned to Jiu Yue standing next to the old master. “Then, kill him first. He was the one who wanted to kill Jiu Ming back then. Since you claim to be in charge of him, kill the person who wanted to harm him first.”
