Defending Ming Ze

Ming Ze hadn't expected this situation even in his wildest imagination.

How could these sect ancestors come up with such an idea?

Wouldn't they normally expel and beat up anyone who got too close to their extraordinary princess?

Why was it just the opposite now?

However, when thinking about it, Ming Ze realized that he was not the main character in a cultivation novel, and he was not a weak man.

The strength he had just displayed was enough to earn him recognition from everyone.

Perhaps others were still unsure of the limits of his strength, but the ancestors with their deep cultivation must have realized that he was extremely powerful when seeing his strength up close.

In front of talent and strength, they were naturally open-minded, coming up with ideas that were good for all parties.

It was just that, Ming Ze was disturbed to hear that he had to be Xia Qinghe's supporter to become an Immortal.

Didn't that mean they didn't want him to be the Immortal?

"Sect Master, what nonsense are you saying?" Xia Qinghe replied, looking embarrassed and uncomfortable but also angry because he thought this was nonsense.

She was embarrassed because she and Ming Ze were advised to get married, and as Ming Ze's friend, she felt angry that the sect would want such a ridiculous thing as asking Ming Ze to be her backer.

The man had incredible strength and talent, how could he be someone else's backer.

Everyone would think he was crazy.

He should be competing for Immortality.

If he became the backer of an Immortal Candidate, he wouldn't have another chance even for the next era.

To become an Era Evader, one had to seal oneself before Immortality appeared and then be able to appear again after Immortality was taken away. Even then, you still have to be careful not to get too old because if you get too old, Immortality will no longer recognize you as an Immortal Candidate.

Basically, if you wanted to be an Era's Evader, you couldn't be someone else's supporter.

Ming Ze wanted to laugh when he realized the cunning of those ancestors.

They only wanted him to help their sect.

Perhaps in their minds this plan could work as long as he was mesmerized by Xia Qinghe's beauty.

However, of course, Xia Qinghe didn't agree with this cunning plan which was tantamount to asking the ancestors for help to kill Ming Ze.

"Sect Master, Ming Ze isn't someone you can utilize. He won't be anyone's backer. He will compete for Immortality, becoming one of my opponents," she said.

The Sect Master who had originally agreed with this plan became helpless as Xia Qinghe directly opposed this.

"Uhmmm..." He cleared his throat, then pretended to cough.

"Qinghe, what if Ming Ze agrees? He'll be your supporter as long as you're willing to be his wife."

The Sect Master then turned his gaze to Ming Ze.

"Young man, what do you think? Isn't Qinghe very beautiful and virtuous? I dare say there is no one better than her in the Seven Realms. Even in history, she must be in the top three most virtuous women? Will you marry her and support her in becoming an Immortal?" The man spoke very quickly when he said all that to Ming Ze.

How could Ming Ze possibly agree. That was indeed nonsense.

He thought about asking the Sect Master to reverse their positions.

Yes, he and Xia Qinghe were married, but it was the latter with the Holy Light Sect that would be the one supporting him to become an Immortal, not the other way around.

However, he didn't say that because Xia Qinghe had just defended him.

If he had said that, he would have been looking down on her just like this sect looked down on him with the intention of making him a supporter.

Basically, Ming Ze would not look down on her as long as she did not look down on him.

Hence, until now he had only suggested that she become his wife if she failed to become an Immortal.

Other than that, he had only given her subtle advances that seemed to be joking. Even if she accepted, he would not ask her to become a supporter. He would allow her to continue with her dream of becoming an Immortal.

"Sect Master, your plan as well as the ancestors are too unreasonable. Who would agree? Of course, I admit that you're right about Xia Qinghe, a man's life would be too extraordinary if he were her husband. However, when it comes to getting a woman's heart, I have my own way. For sure, it doesn't demean me and the woman." He said calmly as he leaned back in the chair.

He wasn't emotional or grumpy, acting like he was talking about a trivial matter.

Xia Qinghe looked into his eyes when she heard his words, finding her heart racing again.

When a man faced a complicated situation with complete composure, it was hard for a woman not to be in awe, moreover when he spoke he would not use a way that demeaned the woman he was pursuing.

To Xia Qinghe, this seemed like an assurance from Ming Ze that he wouldn't use evil and devious means on her.

It made her feel more comfortable with him.

The talk had just begun, and now the Sect Master had already been rendered helpless.

To him this was due to Xia Qinghe's outright refusal.

If only she had agreed, organizing the scheme would have been easy by relying on her charm.

He couldn't believe Ming Ze couldn't be subdued with the charm of an incomparable woman like her.

Phew!

"I know this is just a stupid thing," said the Sect Master, finally choosing to pretend that he knew he was just doing nonsensical nonsense.

In front of these two young people, he didn't want to look foolish. Hence he did not impose his will.

"Perhaps those ancestors are still sleepy after sleeping for so long, so they gave such a ridiculous suggestion. I can't refuse to say this because it's their request," he added, starting to shift the blame onto the ancestors.

After that, he suddenly stood up.

"Alright, I won't bother you anymore, and will definitely never interfere with your decisions," he said again before taking a step to leave, looking hurried.

He opened his own door and closed it.
