CHAPTER 331: northern royal academy (2)
"how about you qing yu?" yu yue asked curiously.
"I-I came from one of the liu clan branches, I was skilled in doing business so they brought me here to manage drunk blossom house. But before that, we are just collateral lines in name. In fact, my clansmen are like dogs looking for bones for the liu clan to chew. We were made to work tirelessly to keep their wealth and resources in check, we aren't even given any part of our hardwork to enjoy" he said sadly while wiping his tears.
Yu yue didn't expect such thing so she was quiet for a moment.
"if I give you the chance to avenge yourselves and your clans, would you take it?" she asked, although she's symphatetic with them she didn't mean to let them just go if they didn't agree. She also has something she needs to protect so she won't spare anyone that can't be spared.
The two look at each other for a while. Du hua decisively take the first step, she has nothing to lose and she understood their current situation very well. Even if she returned, she would be disposed of. It would be better for her to serve jade moon palace even if her hopes of vengeance was slim.
"I, du hua pledge my loyalty to the jade moon palace lord. Never to betray or soul shall be oblirated by the heaven" she pledges her loyalty unwaveringly.
On the other hand, qing yu was quiet but no one disturbs him. He was hesitant because although yu yue didn't treat him badly no one could tell what would happen after this. He's not naïve, even if he switches sides it won't change anything if he would still be use to work like a dog without care for his wellbeing.
"would you promised not to treat us badly if we work for you?" he asked directly, while looking at yu yue's eyes unwaveringly. He didn't care if he loses his life in the process anymore. He also understood his current situation very well.
"I promised that if you do well then you'll be rewarded handsomely" yu yue promised without hesitation. She also understood where qing yu is coming from.
"then I, ging yu pledge my loyalty to the jade moon palace lord and promised to be loyal. If I betray my soul shall be oblirated by the heavens" he sighs in relief before making his oath.
After the oath was established everything was silent.
"ahem, don't worry so much. I won't treat you all badly as promised. For now, I need your help as you might have already guessed our problem. We need more capable people like you so I would directly give your first official order from me. Please work directly under hong mei, you can ask him for more details and if you have something to ask just don't hesitate to tell him.
"I would be living tomorror for the northern royal academies entrance exam so I would like to have a rest first. You may all do as I instructed and you may take full responsibility if there's something unexpected.
