Hero And Villain
"Miss, you must be joking," Sovereign Crow said.
The others seemed to say that as well.
They apparently didn't believe Xia Qinghe's words right away, thinking she was just saying nonsense to defend Ming Ze.
Her words didn't surprise them. They were only surprised by the fact that she actually defended him in front of people.
This was something that made them curious. What reason did he have to do that?
Because they were carrying negative thoughts from the start, so they were generating negative speculations as well.
"I'm afraid this man has used evil magic to influence Miss Xia."
"It seems that way. How could the Holy Light Sect not be aware of this matter. To think that they dare to claim to be one of the strongest sects."
Of course, things that can affect the mind exist in the cultivation world. It's a world with countless wonders. Mental attacks, curses, they were here.
In fact, Ming Ze himself had the ability to release curses by using the power of the Demon Abyss King Bloodline.
The more Ming Ze heard people's words, the more he was made to feel like crying and laughing at the same time.
It was as if they had gone mad.
'Maybe this is because of their personal obsession with Xia Qinghe, they didn't even think of the possibility that she's in love with me so she's defending me,' he thought.
Although it wasn't like that, but under normal conditions, one should think that the reason a woman defended a man was because she was in love with him.
The members of the Holy Light Sect probably thought that way because they rejected the thought that their greatest genius was exposed to evil magic when she was in the sect, but this was something that was hard to say, so they chose to remain silent when Xia Qinghe was accused of being bewitched by Ming Ze.
"Well!" The last one finally spoke.
"Old man, I did not make that claim," he said, choosing to clarify first without caring whether people believed him or not.
He then added, "of course, it's true that I am indeed stronger than Miss Xia."
People, "...."
"How dare he make such a claim!" The people started to get excited.
He initially denied saying that, but right after that, he actually said it.
This was like a provocation to all of them.
Seeing all this and seeing Ming Ze so relaxed when he spoke, Xia Qinghe was suddenly made to realize that he wasn't taking this matter seriously.
Realizing this made her smile faintly, which in turn shocked the people.
"Hmph!" There was a sudden cold snort from below.
It seemed to be from a young man.
Shua!
Suddenly there was a figure that leapt upwards, arriving beside Old Crow in an instant.
He was wearing a black robe, covering his entire figure.
However, since he showed himself, he suddenly put the cloak away.
He was indeed a young man, around Ming Ze and Xia Qinghe's age, had long golden hair, and was wearing royal robes.
His figure looked dignified, he stood with his hands on his back.
Interestingly there were nine light-emitting orbs floating around his body.
They were like the sun.
"First Prince of the Nine Suns, he really came!"
Everyone was instantly shocked when they saw the man because of his prestigious identity.
"Sun Ji!" Even Xia Qinghe was surprised.
Although it was said that he was not extraordinary because he was still at the Third Sovereign Stage, not an Infinite Sovereign, yet the Nine Suns Kingdom denied that he was not talented.
They claimed his talent was better than most geniuses.
It was only because he played around too much that his cultivation lagged behind, and now that he had seriously cultivated, he was starting to show his fangs.
The Nine Sun Kingdom even claimed that he would soon catch up to the others and become an extremely troublesome Immortal Candidate.
They repeatedly warned the others to be wary of their first prince.
"This is becoming more interesting," Ming Ze said in a low voice when he saw the man.
Although here somewhat made him feel stupid, he was happy that there was finally an enemy. That way, he could fight. If necessary, he would kill them to increase the System's level.
"Fellow Daoist, I can sense that you are indeed strong, but your claims are too much," said the prince, Sun Ji.
That he realized that he was strong surprised Ming Ze a little.
Unfortunately, he only seemed to realize a little.
Before he could say anything, the man continued, "I have no intention of fighting you as long as you get rid of the evil magic you used on Miss Xia. I assure you, you can leave safely. If not..."
He ended his words with a sharp gaze while the nine suns surrounding him emitted a brighter light.
"Wow, this is what a hero looks like!" The young girls were mesmerized by him.
Not only was he handsome, but his aura was also extraordinary, unlike Ming Ze who only had good looks but his aura looked ordinary.
"Do you want to be a hero here?" asked Ming Ze to the prince.
Before fighting, he felt they did need to talk a bit first.
"If you think that way, then so be it. I'm not a nice guy, but I'm ready to be a hero for Miss Xia. She is an angel to us in the West Gate Region, and to everyone in the Immortal Human World. We won't let anyone use evil tricks on her." The prince replied.
When the situation had reached this point, Xia Qinghe looked awkward.
She hadn't expected that things would change to this extent.
This was because she was overly loved while Ming Ze was a man with no clear background. People were not happy to see him standing side by side with her.
They thought of him as a villain who harmed an angel. A hero was needed to save her.
Even so, Xia Qinghe chose not to speak. She had been on purpose since Ming Ze started talking because she knew that he had his own plans.
As a wise woman, she knew not to interfere with a man's plans.
"What beautiful sounding words," Ming Ze said in response to Sun Ji's words.
He took a step forward that somehow changed the air to be less comfortable, as if something frightening was coming.
"Let's assume that you're right. However, before trying to be a hero, you must first see who the villain is," he added right after taking a step.
