Jiu Yue’s face changed dramatically. “Earlier, it was our Deities Gate’s disciples who were peeking at this painting, so I took it away. But, Master Hu Qing came before I could destroy it…”
“Hmm…”
Hu Qing responded unconcernedly as his eyes carefully observed the painting.
It was a painting of a perfect couple.
The young woman was gorgeous and magnificent, but it made Hu Qing’s eyes burn with anger.
The man’s robe was as white as snow. He looked cool and elegant.
Hu Qing frowned. “This kid!”
“Master Hu Qing, you know him?”
“More than just knowing!” Hu Qing gritted his teeth.
His future wife had run away with the Ninth Emperor, and he had sought to go look for the Ninth Emperor to settle the score with her. It was this bastard who had stopped him. He had not only beaten him up but had also stripped him naked and sent him to a brothel!
It was such an embarrassment!
‘So, they want to get married? Hehe… Forget it!’
He would never make it easy for these two bastards!
Hu Qing tore the painting into tiny pieces and scattered it to the wind.
“What’s your name?” Hu Qing looked down at Jiu Yue condescendingly.
Jiu Yue’s face was full of flattering smiles. “My name is Jiu Yue.”
“Jiu Yue… Hehe, a coward, but has such a name. It’s alright… If you serve me well, you will naturally get the benefits, and I will also help you kill all your enemies together.”
Initially, Jiu Yue’s smile was about to fade as he heard Hu Qing’s words. But the next sentence had made him hold back his anger and smiled even more.
“Thank you, Master Hu Qing…”
Hu Qing nodded slightly. He looked very satisfied. “There should be a few female disciples in Deities Gate… Find a few of the most beautiful ones and send them to my room.”
Jiu Yue was stunned.
There was no harm in sending a few female disciples, but Hu Qing was now using his father’s body.
Even though his father was also a lustful man, he would not have touched his own disciples to avoid reputation damage. Hu Qing would ruin his father’s reputation if he did this using his father’s body…
Jiu Yue suddenly regained his senses.
After all, his father was already dead, and what reputation would a dead man care about?
Now… Guarding Deities Gate himself was the most important thing that he had to do.
“Yes, Master Hu Qing. I’ll take care of it for you later…” Jiu Yue paused and said, “But, can I still call you ‘Father’ in front of these people? I don’t want any people in Deities Gate to find out about it.”
“No…” Hu Qing frowned. “I don’t care about them. I have sufficient power to make them succumb. Go and choose a female disciple for me immediately!”
“Yes, Master Hu Qing.”
Jiu Yue kept a smile the whole time.
Only after he walked out of the main hall did his face immediately sink.
In all these years, he had never been humiliated like this before. Now, he had to grovel to others for his safety.
He would not have been so miserable if his father was still alive.
And all of this was because of Jiu Ming and Feng Ruqing!
He would never let them go!
Jiu Yue took a deep breath as he looked at the old man in the main hall. He then turned around, and his figure gradually disappeared under the bright sunlight.
But no matter how bright the sunlight was, it could not dispel the gloom in his heart.
However, Jiu Yue understood that he only had to stay hidden now, and later… He would have the chance to live a new life again!
***
Inside the main hall, Hu Qing turned around, and his cold and arrogant eyes were staring in the direction in which Jiu Yue had disappeared. He sneered.
He knew that this brat was only pretending to submit himself. But, it was fine because he only needed someone to work for him for now. Hu Qing did not care whether that person was truly submissive to him or not…
‘The obedient ones will stay, and the disobedient ones… I’ll just kill them!’
