Xerxes anxiously watched Adrian and Jade follow the Rakshasa Temple up the stairs. Despite how
worried he was, there was nothing he could do.

Jadeâs personality was just like that. No one could affect the decisions once she had made up her
mind. Even Xerxes, who used to be her husband, couldnât⦠That was also the biggest problem
between them. Jade wasnât as obedient to him as other women.
He wanted to follow them, but he was the instrument in saving the Emperor. The golden bamboo boat
was the fastest divine artifact that could save the Emperor in thirty seconds, making it the most
important part of this mission.
Gilbert patted Xerxesâ shoulder as he noticed how anxious he was. âDonât worry, bro. Commander
Benmore is a powerful woman. She must have her reasons for making such a choice. You should have
faith in her.â
Xerxes sighed. âI just donât understand her anymore.â
Gilbert shook his head. âYouâre always sleeping with other women, itâd be a wonder if you understood
her.â
âRelax. my son-in-law isnât someone who dies that easily. I read the stars just now. I couldnât tell my
son-in-lawâs fortune, but I could vaguely tell of Commander Benmoreâs. Sheâll be safe. You just have to
get ready and save the Emperor now!â
Xerxes nodded, and as he looked towards the Fuzen Tower, he couldnât help asking, âBro, do you think
that Jade has feelings for Adrian?â
Adrian
Alex
âItâs obvious that there will be feelings between disciple and master. My son-in-law is a talented
disciple. Itâs normal that Commander Benmore appreciates him.â
Xerxes muttered, âI meant loveâ¦â
âUhmâ¦â
Gilbert was clearly taken aback. He glanced at Adrian and Jade, who were walking towards the Fuzen
Tower. If a stranger looked at them, they might feel that they were a couple⦠After all, Jade had
transformed greatly after Adrian saved her when she got poisoned. She looked much younger now.

âAhem, bro, Iâd advise that Commander Benmore isnât like ordinary people. The average man canât
attract her. You can either cut all ties with other women and stay by her side, or youâll have to set her
free,â Gilbert said.
He then put up a meaningful expression. âYouâre in a relationship where your lady is more powerful
than you, yet youâre still thinking of having affairs. Thatâd only end up badly.â
Xerxesâ expression was bitter. âAnd Adrian can have multiple relationships? Heâs even your son-in-law!â

Gilbert said, âBro, donât overcomplicate things. Let me put it this way, a powerful woman like
Commander Benmore will never share her husband with other women. That goes for you and Adrian.
She and Adrian appreciate each other as a master and disciple would.â

He stopped for a while then continued. âAlright, donât overthink Get ready. We might have a rough
battle ahead. The Rakshasa Temple isnât easy to convince. They must have a reason for choosing to
be at Fuzen Tower.â

Jade suddenly held Adrianâs hand and squeezed it on the way up.
Adrian
Alex
âHmm?â
âHave you noticed that your heart jumps anxiously on this platform? Arenât you an expert in formations?
Quick, take a look if thereâs something up with this platform.â Jade spoke to Adrian telepathically.

Adrian answered. âThere is something fishy about it, but⦠This isnât the core of the formation, so I canât
fully understand it yet.â
Adrian
Alex
âJust be careful and act according to the situation! Ugh, I donât understand why you, a woman, wanted
to follow me. Youâll just drag me down.â
âShut up! Iâm your master, you disrespectful punk.â
âAnd what have you taught me?â
âIâ¦Iâve taught you how to be a decent human.â
âLet me take a good look at you, Sis.â
âFor what?â
âTo see if your face or your foot is larger.â
âI⦠Iâll kill you, you jerk!â
Jade was so mad she stomped her feet and pinched Adrianâs waist. She used so much force Adrian
cried out in pain and jumped up and down. The Rakshasa Temple man beside them was stunned,
afraid that the two might be up to something.

He immediately shouted, âWhat are you doing? Stop now! Are you trying to get your Emperor killed?â
Jade screamed back like an insane lady. âShut the f*ck up! We might just turn around and walk away
right now, you know? We have countless more Emperors even if you kill this one, but thereâs only one
Martello Celia from your sect!â
âIf you lose it, let me see how the Rakshasa Temple would hold its place in America.â
The man opened his mouth to speak, but nothing came out. Finally, they reached the top of the Fuzen
Tower. Not only did they see Rakshasa Temple men, but they also saw the Returning Sword Sectâs
people there.
âItâs Jeremy Trippier!â Jadeâs eyes dimmed as she whispered. âI didnât expect Rakshasa Temple to
team up with the Returning Sword Sect. Turns out the six ancient sects really do love you.â
Adrian nodded. âThey came with bad intentions!â
Adrian

Jade said, âDonât worry, Iâll protect you.â
Adrian was speechless.
