"But since you are so determined, then I … I will give you face."
His words resounded like a clap of thunder, shocking everyone present.
Hence, everyone was dumbfounded, wondering if they had heard wrongly.
Give face?
The Luo King was giving face to this person?
Everyone was in awe and their faces were full of disbelief.
Remember that what the Thief of the World did today was the same as slapping the Luo King in the face. It was also done in front of all the Holy Leaders. If this was anyone else, they wouldn't let her go. The Luo King was the same.
But before their eyes, Luo Xin Jie changed her mind because of Ling Xian. How much face did she have to do this?
It was hard to believe!
"King Luo, please reconsider. The Thief of the World is far too arrogant. If you let her go, you will lose all your face."
"That's right. King Luo, you cannot change your mind because of this young man. The Thief of the World cannot be allowed to live!"
"She is openly provoking you and committing a heinous crime. How can you let her go?"
The Holy Leaders all chimed in. They didn't want Luo Xin Jie to let the Thief of the World go because that would be slapping them in the face.
Back then, they were certain that Ling Xian didn't have the face to change the Luo King's mind. But now, the Luo King had really changed his mind. Wasn't this a slap in the face?
Therefore, the Holy Leaders all tried to convince the Luo King not to let the Thief of the World go.
But in the next second, they were slapped in the face again.
Luo Xin Jie's expression was emotionless as she glanced around, "I have made up my mind. There is no need to say more."
At those words, the entire place silenced again. Everyone was once again in awe.
Everyone could hear the unquestionable and unwavering determination in these short words!
In other words, the Luo King had chosen to let the Thief of the World go because of Ling Xian!
Remember that the Thief of the World was slapping her in the face. If she let it go, her authority will be damaged. Despite this, she chose to let it go. How much face did she have to give?
Or in other words, how much did the Luo King value Ling Xian to let the Thief of the World go?
At once, the way everyone looked at Ling Xian changed.
Hua Yueyan was in awe. For one, she didn't think he knew her Master. For two, she didn't think he would be so influential.
It was the same for Thief of the World. Her pretty face was blank and her eyes were filled with disbelief.
Lu Xiu, on the other hand, was horrified. She was already frightened by Hua Yueyan, and now that King Luo was willing to lose face for Ling Xian, her fear reached an extreme!
As for the Saint Lords, their expressions were complicated. There was shock, anger, and bitterness.
Before, they thought Ling Xian didn't have the face to do so. But now, King Luo really let Thieving the World go. This made them feel like they were slapped in the face.
At the same time, the initial mockery and contempt were no longer there. Instead, it was replaced by respect.
King Luo's actions today had given Ling Xian a lot of face. What kind of relationship did she have with Ling Xian for her to do this?
To know that even if they all begged for mercy on behalf of the Thief World, Luo Xin Jie would not listen to them. Yet Ling Xian merely said a few words. How could they not take this seriously?
After all, it was Luo Xin Jie, someone she cared about. The entire North Nether Region had to care about!
"Thank you." The corner of Ling Xian's lips curled up, revealing a happy and relaxed smile. He was also somewhat grateful.
He knew that he was being too rash. He also knew that Luo Xin Jie was giving him face that not even the Holy Leaders could get!
Because of this, he was naturally grateful.
"I've given you a lot of face, and you're only saying a word of thanks?"
Luo Xin Jie played with her bangs. Her face was calm and her eyes were stern. But Ling Xian could see a hint of flirtatiousness.
This caused him to shake his head and laugh, "Then how do you want me to thank you?"
"You haven't given me your gift yet. Plus, how about …" Luo Xin Jie teased and made a statement that shocked everyone.
"Why don't you devote yourself to me?"
With that said, everyone's expressions changed once again. Their gazes gathered on the Luo King, wondering if they had heard wrongly.
Devote my life to him?
What a joke!
Everyone was dumbfounded. They could not believe that such words had come from the Luo King.
To them, the Luo King was as dignified as an Empress and was inviolable. Yet at this moment, the Empress in their hearts had made such a flirtatious statement. Why wouldn't they be shocked?
Ling Xian was a little surprised as well. Then, he shook his head and laughed.
He originally thought that in front of so many people, Luo Xin Jie would behave a little more. He didn't think she would behave the way she did when they were traveling together. However, compared to the time when she teased him, the Luo Xin Jie now was much more restrained.
"Forget about pledging yourself to me. I owe you one." Ling Xian grinned. Though his words were soft, they were powerful.
"You said it. I will remember it."
The corner of the Luo King's lips curled up, "If you go back on your words, I will not forgive you."
Hearing this, Ling Xian grinned, "Let's catch up after the celebration. I have a lot of questions that I need you to answer."
Then, he walked towards the Thief of the Universe and took out a Dan of Recovery from his storage pouch for the woman to consume. Then, he placed his right hand on her back and used his Qi to help her digest the Dan.
After a few seconds, the Thief of the Universe's face reddened a little. Her eyes were full of gratitude, "Ling Xian, thank you for stepping up and saving my life."
"You should be glad that I am familiar with the Luo King. If it was another Holy Leader, my face would be useless." Ling Xian grinned.
"As long as it works before the Luo King. Look, the way they look at you has changed."
The Thief of the Universe smiled brightly. Other than gratitude in her eyes, there was shock. She suddenly felt like Ling Xian was like a cloud of fog – mysterious and difficult to see through.
"Is that so …"
Ling Xian smiled but didn't say anything.
He remembered that at first, the way the Holy Leaders looked at him was disdain and disdain. But at this moment, they all treated him with respect.
What could they do? The Luo King had given him so much face. How could the Holy Leaders not take this seriously?
"I won't say any words of gratitude. I only have one thing to say. From today on, my life is yours."
The Thief of the Universe erased his smile and said in a serious tone, "It doesn't matter if I have to climb a mountain of knives or dive into a sea of fire, one word from you and I will do anything."
"You are exaggerating."
Ling Xian brandished his hand with a smile, "As long as you can help me when I need you."
"I won't help."
The Thief of the Universe's expression was serious as he said in a low voice, "I will help."
Hearing this, Ling Xian smiled. He knew that what he did today has made the Thief of the Universe grateful. This made him feel like he didn't save the wrong person.
At the very least, he now has an extra helping hand. His hope of getting Yu Hua Die has increased. Because of this, he was naturally happy.
Then, he sat down quietly and waited for the feast to end.
After around half an hour, the Holy Leaders saw that Luo Xin Jie was losing interest. They all bid farewell and left the Ruler of Gods' Palace.
This meant the feast was over.
Then, Luo Xin Jie floated away. But before she left, she winked at Ling Xian.
She was flirtatious and flirtatious.
