"I made a list of events you can organize throughout a whole week." As soon as Noah walked into the room, he saw Wuhan talking with Shisan about something.
They stopped talking when they heard his words. Shisan frowned, seemingly unamused by his childish behavior.
"Were you discussing anything important?" Seeing the frown on Shisanâs face, Noah asked Wuhan.
"She was just telling me about the progress of my disciplesâ training." Wuhan waved his hands and asked, "What did you come up with?"
"I have decided to separate each event for different days. Starting with a test for scholars, we can move on to Alchemy, Weapon refining, Talisman making, and then three days for combat rankings. We can rank geniuses in each field and give them rewards that are suitable for their respective fields." Noah gave a simple explanation of the plans he had set for the event.
Wuhan nodded in acknowledgment, finding the planning feasible but the problem was retaining those geniuses after giving them rewards.
After seeing through Wuhanâs thoughts, Noah added, "If you want them to join you, you have to show what the empire is capable of offering them."
After thinking for a while, Wuhan nodded in agreement.
"Explain everything to me in detail." Hearing Wuhanâs confirmation, Noah explained each event in detail. His explanation included everything from seating and test arrangements to awarding the winners.
Not just Wuhan, even Shisan was impressed by his thoroughness. After Noah stopped talking, Wuhan sighed in relief, "Thatâs a load off my shoulders."
"There is still something you have to decide." Noah casually walked towards the Elderâs chair and took a seat. Seeing the hint of confusion in Wuhanâs eyes, he clarified, "What do you want to do with those people I saved?"
"Canât we take them into the sect?" Seeing Wuhan entering deep in thought, Shisan asked, thinking they would be grateful to the sect for saving them.
"They will think that we were the ones that kidnapped them." Wuhan rejected that idea on the spot.
"Why would they think that?"
"Because of the curse! They wonât know what or who knocked them out." Wuhan started explaining what happened to his disciples because of the curse.
"Indeed, explaining to them would be troublesome. How about leaving them in some random place?" Shisan nodded before giving another option.
"That wonât work as well. There is a chance they will be captured again." Noah rejected that thought on the spot, "We donât want them to realize that we can remove their curse. That could be our major ace against fighting them."
Silence enveloped the room. Shisan got silent and didnât say anything else. Besides those two options, she could not think of anything else.
They cannot kill them, they cannot let them leave. All the options seemed useless to them.
Wuhan broke the silence after a while. He looked at Noah and asked, "How long can you keep them unconscious?"
"As long as you want." As if realizing what Wuhan wanted, Noah replied with a smile on his face.
Wuhan also smiled, hearing his response, and nodded, "Then itâs decided, they will be kept in the sect. Keep them in the cells beside Little Liu. They will be here until we deal with this cult situation of ours." Explore more at empire
Shisan frowned at the mention of her Young Miss but did not say anything. Noah nodded and walked out of the room.
"What are you thinking?" Finding Shisan awfully silent, Wuhan asked softly. Raising her head, she looked at Wuhan in the eyes before replying. "I was wondering if I should inform Young Missâs family about her conditionâ"
Before Shisan could even complete her sentence, she felt her surroundings chilling. It was like she was in the lowest levels of hell.
Her eyes shook, seeing Wuhanâs cold eyes. Opening his mouth, Wuhan spoke coldly. "You will do no such thing!"
Shisan froze in fear. She had never seen Wuhan this angry and scary. She had seen him aloof, lazy, mischievous, and sometimes even a little angry.
But thisâ¦
It was on a whole different level. It was like Wuhan loathed the Song family.
Seeing her tremble in her seat, Wuhan sighed before calming himself. Clenching the armrest of his seat, he replied, "You should know better than anyone, telling that family about her situation would only lead to more trouble, and they might use this chance to do anything they want with her."
"Especially now that she can cultivate." Shisan shook hearing Wuhanâs words and this time for a different reason. She knew better than anyone what kind of people from the Song Family were.
"You seem to know a lot about her family." Shisan narrowed her eyes, finding it suspicious. Wuhan smiled wryly and shook his head, "I have had a fair share of encounters with that family."
Finding no falsehood in his words, Shisan decided to let it go for now and stood up from her seat to leave the room.
"Ifâ¦" Shisan stopped in her tracks, hearing Wuhanâs voice, and looked over her shoulder. "If there is anyone in this world who can cure her, itâs that man."
"You mean LongâNoah?" As if she had enlightenment, Shisan could not help but ask in shock. "Why do you trust that man so much? Although he is stronger than me, I donât think he is anything special."
"Haha!" Wuhan suddenly started laughing, hearing her words, and muttered, "Nothing special" as if he had heard a joke.
"What?" Shisan frowned, seeing him acting oddly, and turned around to face him fully.
"If thatâs what you really think, you could not be any more wrong." Her frown deepened, hearing Wuhanâs reply. So she decided to ask the same question back to him. "What do you think of that man?"
"Hmm⦠let me see⦠I feel like, if he wants to, he can conquer the world at any time." Wuhan leaned his head on his hand and replied in an amused voice, recalling the scene where Noah created his body and the vision of the dragon.
"Scoff! Donât be such a delusional old man!" The veiled beauty scoffed and turned around to walk out of the room, leaving her words in the air. "Ruling the world? How foolishâ¦"
Wuhan chuckled once more, looked outside the broken wall of the main hall, and muttered, "Foolish, huh⦠Maybe thatâs what he would think about conquering the world."
