Chapter 405: She will keep her promise
"How did you do with the infiltration of the Association?" Shi Yue asked as she looked at the beautiful scenery in front of her.
The beautiful mountains stood erect from side to side. They looked much more alive than 3 years ago, and this was due to Tang Yin's presence.
All the spiritual arrays that were in this place were rebuilt and upgraded by him, making this place now became a powerful fortress. Moreover, thanks to the very high-level spiritual attraction arrays he arranged here, right now, it was a beautiful cultivation paradise.
Even so, the time was very short, so not everything Tang Yin wanted to do, was done due to a lack of time and resources.
But it was enough because everything he did had caused the sect disciples to have drastically increased their cultivation as well.
It was a collective increase, not just the elders.
Tang Yin smiled at her question.
"Pretty good, Master. The leader of the Association is the only one I have not been able to reach, although he respects me and dares not say a word against me. But all the other positions were put in place by me, and he suspects nothing. All information coming in and out of the association will reach me before anyone else." He replied, and she nodded softly after hearing this.
"Has any insider information gotten to you?" she asked, and then Tang Yin knew something was going on behind the scenes.
He had found out several days ago about several things.
"Not much has come out of the association. They are mobilizing a lot of force these last few days because of the Battle of the Great Sects. It looks like the prize this time will be quite large. But I have seen strange movements in my other organizations. I don't understand what they are planning, but they are moving a lot of forces to various regions of the continent." He replied, and Shi Yue nodded.
She knew that too...
After a moment's thought, she sighed.
"I've seen that your other organizations have been doing well too, I even think there are some that I haven't even heard of." She said smiling as she looked sideways at him, and Tang Yin nodded at her.
"I'm getting ready for something big." He said, and she stared at him for a long while.
Minutes passed as a beautiful pair of purple eyes looked into another beautiful pair of blue eyes.
Until she sighed.
"Don't do anything crazy, Tang Yin. Be patient and you will be able to complete what you have set out to do. Getting ahead of things is not good and although I know your ability, I also know our enemies very well. They are not weak, so don't be overconfident." She spoke.
Tang Yin nodded slightly in response.
"I will be careful, Master. And I won't bring misfortune to the northwest." He replied, and she sighed.
"If you are threatened by those guys, run to the northwest and cover yourself with everything you have created in this place, that's what I gave it to you for. I didn't give it to you to make it strong for me but for you. Every empire, kingdom, and sect that is here under my command will be your shield then. Even Jia will be.
As long as you save yourself, everything will be fine." She said smiling, and looking at him.
"Do you understand? If I gave you the region, it is for you to protect yourself with it. Not for you to protect it." He said again.
Tang Yin was surprised after hearing this...
He, better than anyone else, knows that she has immense affection for this mainland region and cares for it with her life.
All the efforts they have both put into bringing the region back to its feet is because she wants it to restore the glory it once had so that she can fulfill her mother's dying wish and live up to her father's name.
Still, how come she is now telling him that she doesn't care about the region? That he can use it as a shield? What is she talking about? Tang Yin thought, but after seeing the serious look on Shi Yue's face, he found nothing to say.
She was being serious and wasn't hesitating, which confused him even more.
Even so, Tang Yin smiled and prepared to reply, but then Shi Yue spoke again.
"Tang Yin, once the battle of the great sects is over, I will fulfill the promise I made to you before you became my disciple. You have passed all my tests so well, not fulfilling it makes me feel bad. Not only that, I will give you a very good gift. I hope you can do your best and bring glory to the sect before that." She said smiling, and looking at him.
Her eyes carried a slight nostalgia imbued in them, almost indescribable.
Perhaps only she understood this nostalgia.
Tang Yin nodded toward her.
"I will crush any idiot who opposes us, you don't have to worry about me. Just as I promised 3 years ago, I will bring glory to the sect for you." He replied firmly.
"But what is that you promised?" he asked before she could answer.
She smiled, "We haven't repaired your soul yet, have you forgotten?" She said, and then Tang Yin nodded.
'So that was it. I had forgotten.' He thought smiling, although he had learned several things about it from the system lately.
Just then, Shi Yue walked up to him and gave him a little caress on the head, snapping him out of his thoughts. He looked at her doubtfully, it was the first time she had done something like that.
"Once I promised, then I will keep it. But you must prepare yourself for what comes next, as I won't be able to help you anymore." She said smiling and then walked past him without speaking to him anymore. Discover more stories at empire
Tang Yin felt confused after seeing her like this, 'What does she mean?' He thought and turned to look at her, but she was already quite far away.
This made him frown and left him thoughtful.
Shi Yue, on her part, was smiling, 'Just as I promised you, I will give you all of me when the time comes. What will come after that can only depend on you.' She thought and disappeared, leaving him a written message regarding various things.
