Chapter 183.2
Seeing the officials earnest pleading, Lin Beifan couldnt bear it.
For the sake of the country!
For the sake of the people!
For the sake of the Great Xia Dynasty!
To avoid letting down the painstaking efforts of the officials, Lin Beifan chose another.
Let it be you, An Xin, I confer upon you the title of Consort Xin (Fragrant), you shall enter the palace on a chosen day and marry me!
The four Emperors of the small kingdom alliance were ecstatic: Thank you, Your Majesty, for your great kindness!
Only An Xin turned pale, her eyes filled with fear.
But who cared about her?
Two days later, Yueying entered the palace as a consort, and Lin Beifan favored her greatly.
After another two days, An Xin also entered the palace as a consort.
The other party was still very afraid upon seeing Lin Beifan, like a startled rabbit.
Lin Beifan gently cradled the others small face, his tone very gentle, as if it had the power to warm the heart, and said, Dont be afraid and dont feel inferior. You are more outstanding than many other women! I have a way to cure your throat!
An Xins eyes widened in surprise as she looked at Lin Beifan, her gaze filled with astonishment.
It was as if she was saying: Is it really true?
Lin Beifan smiled and said, Of course its true. What would be the point of me lying to you? You are now my consort, and I want to give you the very best of everything. I am responsible for your future!
An Xin nodded excitedly.
After thinking for a moment, she took out a pen and paper she carried with her and wrote: Thank you, Your Majesty!
After another moment, she added another sentence: Please cherish me, Your Majesty!
I will certainly cherish you well! Lin Beifan tenderly lifted her onto the bed, and another sleepless night ensued.
Having recently taken two new consorts, Lin Beifan spent several days living a life that envies only mandarin ducks and not immortals. (TLN: Mandarin ducks are symbols of love and fidelity. Thus, envying only mandarin ducks means valuing the love and companionship found in a devoted relationship above all else (cultivation))
Of course, Lin Beifan did not forget his promise.
He obtained a pill from the poison doctor Liu Wanqing and cured An Xins throat.
Meanwhile, there was a vast complex of buildings atop a mountain thousands of li away from Great Xia. Many people dressed in patched clothing bustled in and out, looking very busy.
This was the Beggar Sects branch in the area, responsible for commanding beggars within a thousand-mile radius.
At this time, a middle-aged man dressed in patched clothes but with an imposing demeanor arrived.
Elder Lai Qing along with others greeted him: Your subordinates greet the Sect Leader!
No need for formalities, brothers. Please take a seat! ๐ท๐ธ๐ฟโฏ๐ตโฏ๐ถ๐ผ๐.๐ธ๐ธ๐
Thank you, Sect Leader!
Everyone took their seats.
This middle-aged man was Hong Qihai, the current Sect Leader of the Beggar Sect.
He possessed the strength of a Grandmaster and commanded over twenty million disciples of the Beggar Sect worldwide, making him one of the most powerful people in the world.
Sect Leader, what brings you here this time? Elder Lai inquired.
It is naturally about the affairs of the Beggar Sect!
The Sect Leader of the Beggar Sect said with a dignified face: I have just learned that our Beggar Sect disciples who were infiltrating Great Xia have all disappeared without a trace, totaling up to 300,000!
This matter is no small issue, so I came to investigate personally! Being the closest here to Great Xia, have you sent anyone to investigate what happened?
Everyone exchanged glances.
Finally, all eyes turned to Elder Lai, who remained silent.
Sect Leader, we have not sent anyone to investigate, Elder Lai said with a bow.
The Sect Leader of the Beggar Sect grew angry: Elder Lai, those are 300,000 brothers who have vanished without a trace! How could you not send anyone to investigate such an important matter?
Because we know the reason behind it!
Oh? What exactly happened? The Sect Leader of the Beggar Sect listened intently.
Sect Leader, the truth is that our brothers have all gone to Great Xia to make a living! Only Great Xia has everything they desire, something we in the Beggar Sect cannot provide Elder Lai sighed and explained the situation in full.
The Sect Leader of the Beggar Sect was stunned after hearing this.
They had gone to make a living!
Sect Leader, thats exactly how it is! The brothers long for life in Great Xia, but they are afraid of being punished by the Beggar Sect, so they cut off contact secretly! Later, when I sent people to investigate, I found that they were all doing well.
Elder Lai, how could you be so foolish!
The Sect Leader of the Beggar Sect said angrily: They wanted to leave, and you just let them go? Dont you realize that this is a betrayal? Our Beggar Sect brothers prioritize loyalty above all, and what we detest the most is betrayal! They clearly violated the rules of the sect. Why didnt you bring them back?
Elder Lai opened his mouth and said, But our brothers are pursuing their own happiness
So, you put our Beggar Sect at a disadvantage?
The leader of the Beggar Sect slammed the table and stood up in anger, Elder Lai, do you know how much effort we have put into nurturing them? Just when we needed them, they all ran off to Great Xia! Have you let all our efforts go to waste? ๐ป๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ.๐ฐ๐ผ๐บ
Elder Lais mouth twisted bitterly, I know! But seeing our brothers living such precarious and miserable lives, I couldnt bear it, so I could only
Lai Qing, youve lost your sense of loyalty! The leader of the Beggar Sect shouted angrily.
Remember, you are an elder of the Beggar Sect first and foremost! Without the Beggar Sect, you wouldnt be where you are today!
I know I was wrong. Please punish me, Sect Leader, I have no complaints! Elder Lai knelt down.
Punish! Of course, you will be punished!
The Sect Leader said sternly, For now, Elder Lai Qings position will be suspended, and he will be detained! We will decide on further punishment after I investigate the matter further!
Yes, Sect Leader! Elder Lai closed his eyes.
The Sect Leader struck, hitting several of Elder Lais acupoints, sealing his martial arts.
Someone come, take Lai Qing away and put him under house arrest! After I return, we will deal with him anew!
Yes, Sect Leader!
After dealing with these matters, the Sect Leader of the Beggar Sect used his movement skills and hurried toward Great Xia.
