The Black Rose Blooms
"Master, this girl has been pacing back and forth outside our sect. It seems like she hasn't eaten in a long time, so I gave her some food. However, I discovered that this girl is extremely talented, so I brought her back to the sect. What do you think …. "
In the main hall of the sect, Hua Hai sat in his chair, looking down at the two women in the front hall.
One wore a white robe with a black rose embroidered on her chest. Beside her stood a dark-faced girl, whose eyes shone with fear of the unknown.
"Raise your head and let me see," said Hua Hai coolly.
The white-robed woman turned to the woman beside her and whispered, "Let's go," Hua Hai said coolly from his seat at the head of the table. The girl bit her lips and raised her head. When she saw the sea of flowers on the chair, she revealed an astonished expression.
Hua Hai frowned, and the girl hurriedly lowered her head.
The white-robed woman by her side cursed inwardly. She knew that her master hated the way others looked at him the most.
"Master, she …."
"Enough. You may leave."
Hua Hai waved his hand at the woman, who didn't dare to hesitate. She left the hall. At the same time, Hua Hai walked down from his chair. He approached the girl, who retreated step by step.
"You're very afraid of me," said Hua Hai, stopping.
The girl bit her lip and said nothing. Hua Hai glanced at her, then asked in a flat tone, "Do you think I'm a sorcerer?
I'm clearly a man, but I speak with a woman's voice? "
The girl Hua Hai had forced into the corner shook her head. When he saw her shake her head, Hua Hai couldn't help but arch his brows.
"You're not afraid of me, a sorcerer?"
The girl shook her head again.
"Did Rose tell you all about my taboos before coming here? Is that why you're acting like this? That's fine. I won't blame you, but I don't like it when people lie to me. "
"No." The girl, who'd been silent all this time, shook her head nervously. "Big Sister Rose didn't tell me anything."
"Then how could you not be afraid?"
"I've seen many people like you. The way I see it, everyone is equal. You shouldn't look at anyone differently." The girl's voice was still timid, but there was a hint of determination in her voice. Then she put on a timid expression. "Besides, you don't seem like a bad person."
"You've seen many?" Hua Hai arched an eyebrow, but didn't pursue the matter. "I like what you just said about everyone being equal. Come, tell me your name."
"Li … Li Jiayi."
"Li Jiayi," he repeated. "Why are you pacing back and forth in front of my mountain? "Li Jiayi," he repeated.
"I don't know, but I don't know why I'm here. "I've been there for a long, but I don," he said. I'm a little scared. I see that there are many girls here, so I want to stay here for a while. "
Despite his vast experience, he'd never heard of Bingcheng, but he wasn't the type to get to the bottom of things.
"I don't know much about this' Bingcheng 'you speak of. But since you've appeared in the Hundred Flowers Gate, it means we're fated to meet. How about this: I'll accept you as an inner disciple. What do you say? "
"Hm … …" Li Jiayi licked her lips, a little hesitant.
"Alright, it's settled," he said, then called out to her, "Qiang Wei."
"Master!" Before long, the white-robed woman from before appeared in the main hall.
"Take Li Jiayi away. From now on, she's my chief inner disciple, and the head disciple of the sect. Anyone who dares bully her will be expelled from the Hundred Flowers Gate."
When she heard this, the white-robed woman froze.
Chief inner disciple.
She'd been by her master's side since the founding of the Hundred Flowers Gate, but even now, she wasn't an inner disciple.
This girl had won her master's favor as soon as she arrived, and had even become chief ….
She was a little confused, but didn't dare voice her doubts.
"Your disciple understands."
"You may leave."
With a wave of his book, Hua Hai returned to his seat at the head of the hall. For a long time, he thought back to Li Jiayi's words ….
"Everyone is equal, everyone is equal … …"
As he hovered in the air, Hua Hai couldn't help but think back to when he'd first met Li Jiayi. It was her words that had made her his inner disciple, the chief disciple of the Hundred Flowers Gate.
It was her words that had redeemed him.
"Disciples of the Hundred Flowers Gate, heed my command." At that moment, Hua Hai's voice rang out in the minds of all the disciples and elders of the Hundred Flowers Gate. "From now on, chief disciple Li Jiayi will be the sect master of the Hundred Flowers Gate. All elders must assist her with all their might."
This sudden transmission stunned everyone. Li Jiayi stared at the proud figure in the sky, her pearly white teeth biting down hard on her lips.
"Master!"
Hua Hai looked at Li Jiayi, who was biting her lip, and sent her a soft, gentle look.
"Jiayi, the future of the Hundred Flowers Gate is in your hands."
"Mas … … Your disciple understands."
Li Jiayi, who was in the middle of complaining, forcibly swallowed her tears and immediately nodded with a resolute gaze.
She knew that anything she said now would be useless.
All she could do was ensure that the Hundred Flowers Gate's legacy would last forever.
"I think highly of you."
Hua Hai chuckled, then retracted his gaze and looked at the Zombie Progenitors.
These roadblocks wouldn't be easy to deal with.
"Hmph. Let me go test him out." Hanba smiled calmly and took a few steps forward, but Jiangchen stopped her. "Let me go. None of you can fly, so you'll be at a disadvantage fighting him. It just so happens that I'd like to test out the strength of these blooming roses. You guys stay here and stand guard. Don't let the people of the Three Realms escape. "
"Understood."
The other Zombie Progenitors nodded. Jiangchen flapped his wings and took to the skies.
"You're the one who's coming," said Hua Hai coldly.
Jiangchen nodded calmly, then looked up at the five black roses in the sky.
Of the five roses, the one he cared about the most was the ten-thousand-meter-tall one. The others were all a hundred meters tall. At a glance, he could tell that the ten-thousand-meter-tall rose was the most dangerous.
"None of them can fly," said Jiangchen. "Even if they come, it'll be useless. A black rose that was about to bloom. Was this the sign of the Hundred Flowers Battle Skill's forbidden skill blooming? But the way I see it, it's nothing special. It's a short-lived bloom, and in the end, it'll wither. "
"You're right, but there are some things I can't agree with."
Hua Hai looked coldly at Jiangchen, who was flapping his wings.
"A short-lived bloom means that something beautiful only appears for a short time. But even if it's only for a short time, it's still beautiful. Even if my bloom is short-lived, I want it to be incomparably dazzling. So dazzling that you'll remember it even if you go to hell! "
With that, Hua Hai glared at Jiangchen and roared.
