The Two-Faced Venerate Emperor

Chapter 1128 – Decided

The battlefield shifted to Wine Sage’s adobe.

The fragrance of wine could be detected the moment they entered the building.

The two Half-Sages sat in the main seat while Ji Mo Ya and Huan Qing Yan held hands and sat at the guest seats. Their eyes showed contentment and determination.

Sage Cai spoke, “Tell me, who’s idea is this?”

Ji Mo Ya replied composedly, “Lord Sage, this is both our joint decision. Little Yan and I have experienced too many sufferings and have seen enough. Things such as status and reputation are just like the fleeting clouds, they pass with the blink of an eye. I only wish to guard Little Yan and Little Treasure and to live a simpler life.”

Huan Qing Yan courageously stood up, “That’s right, Lord Sage. We have both decided, and hope that Lord Sages can give us your blessings.”

After experiencing so many things, her heart has been feeling tired for a long time.

Even Madam Huan, the person who had raised her, had also betrayed and harmed her. The last worry that she had was gone as well.

Human nature is too terrifying, pitiful and sad.

“Ordinary people? A simple life? The two of you carried the hopes of two clans on your shoulders, you can never be ordinary people! No, this Sage will not allow it.” Sage Cai immediately rejected them.

The Bai Li Clan finally found such a genius that was lost, they have not warmed up.

Yet now she wanted to leave!

How can this be?

The Crazy Sage was not around; he has yet to return from his pursuit of the Demon Man, Bai Chen Feng. If he, Ji Mo Cai, allowed the couple to leave just like that, he would not be able to answer Old Crazy.

More importantly, Little Ya has been groomed as the next leader of the Ji Mo Clan. If he was to leave just like that, the clan would vomit blood from the lost.

However, the two seemed determined, Ji Mo Cai felt that something was not right.

He started pressing his fingers against his thumb to perform a reading...

(Cuppa: In Chinese culture, some fortune-tellers perform fortune readings by pressing individual fingers against their thumb randomly to acquire ‘readings’)

Wine Sage beside tried to persuade, “Yan Lass, you are the God Chosen that the Chef Sage personally manifested to appoint. How can you be so irresponsible and waste the efforts of the Chef Sage?”

Huan Qing Yan assertively and calmly replied, “To be able to obtain the inheritance of the Chef Sage is my highest honour. However, Chef Sage has never requested anything from me as well. Us, juniors, are planning to live in seclusion, but my husband and I have no plans to give up on cultivating. We will still continue to train diligently and I will not waste the grace of Chef Sage’s inheritance...”

Ji Mo Ya also added, “Please be assured Lord Sages, I will take good care of Little Yan, we will not ignore our training as well. We just do not want to be entangled with worldly affairs any longer.”

Wine Sage has nothing else to say. It did not look like the two little fellas got this idea suddenly, they have likely planned things through for a long time.

Besides, he was not related to the two little fellas by blood as well, it was not good to push them too far.

Feeling urgent, Wine Sage quickly nudged Sage Cai with his elbow. Why was the old fella not reacting at this crucial moment, say something!

After a few nudges, there was still no reaction.

When Wine Sage turned to check, he saw that Sage Cai was performing a calculation...

When his fingers stopped. Sage Cai looked at Ji Mo Ya and Huan Qing Yan, “You want to live in seclusion and away from worldly affairs? And no longer wish to bear the burden as heirs of your clans, is that right?”

Huan Qing Yan and Ji Mo Ya replied ‘yes’ in unison.

Sage Cai nodded expressionlessly, “That’s fine as well...”

Wine Sage panicked the moment he heard that. How can this be fine? This is not fine!

Sage Cai continued, “However, if humanity or your clans are in peril. We hope that you can return and help us. Is that okay?”

This question...

Shocked Ji Mo Ya and Huan Qing Yan for a moment, but they soon replied, “That is only natural. If such a day really arrives, Little Yan and I will gladly offer our help.”

As humans, as the descendants of Great Clans. Sharing this bit of burden and responsibility was only natural.
