132 A plan with no gaurentee of success (1/2)
Finally, after almost half an hour of asking questions non-stop, which Linxin spent another half an hour to answer along with the follow-up questions Meirong had, the elder who came from the Yim Plundering Sect finally began speaking about the real reason she came here for.
”Are you ready to go Linxin? It's time to enter the Yin Plundering Sect like you previously decided.”
Hearing the question which she only hoped to hear, but now dreaded more than anything else Linxin didn't say anything and only gulped hard.
Seeing this, Meirong's eyes narrowed a little as she understood that something was definitely wrong.
Did she change her decision?
Humph! Does she believe that her opinion is worth anything?
I'll just knock her out and...
With her thoughts being cut short with what happened next, Meirong hastily raised her hands to try and stop Linxin before she did something that everyone would end up regretting.
”Stop! Whatever it is that you want, I'm sure that we can discuss and find a way to satisfy it. Just.... Just don't kill yourself.”
Yup, holding a knife against her throat Linxin looked towards Meirong with endless determination from having decided to go through with Bai Long's plan.
”Calm down and tell me what you want. As long as it isn't completely unreasonable I'm sure that even the Sect Matriarch would be willing to fulfilling your wish.”
What use would be there in putting on a front and trying to seem she didn't care about Linxin's life?
Given how valuable the Matriarch considered Linxin's Constitution, if she ended up doing something ring and didn't manage to take Linxin back with her Meirong wouldn't have a life to live anymore regardless of how far she ran anyway.
”I... I don't want to part with my son!”
”What?”
”You heard me. I don't want to part with my son, so I won't be joining the Yin Plundering Sect. Please leave!”
Looking towards Linxin as if she was crazy, Meirong couldn't understand what had suddenly changed.
A few years back she was more than willing to join the Yin Plundering Sect, so what changed?
Just because her son turned out handsome and talented, she was choosing to stay with him over joining the Yin Plundering Sect?
The unrivalled overlord of the Xiao Dao Continent?
The fuck?!
What was so great about having a son? Strength and status are all that matter!
Didn't Linxin even know such a simple thing?
On second consideration Meirong saw that she couldn't spot the ambitious and cold look in Linxin's eyes which she had seen when she first met her.
In their place, there was overflowing love and concern towards that brat who stood behind her.
Raising a child could change a woman so much?
