" umm... That's quite unfortunate however, from what I have known, it seems the rumors about you started because of Holy Envoy, who was out for the walk this morning, " Mei Lin hurriedly let out trying to warn Ling Fei.

Ling Fei: "..."

Ling Fei's mouth was wide open while he took a few steps back, unable to contain the shock.

' Holy Envoy, the honorable guest of the sect... That arrogant young master is still alive? ' Ling Fei finds it hard to believe.

He clearly remembers killing him and breaking all the bones in his body... His master, the fallen immortal himself has admitted that Holy Envoy was dead then??? It makes no sense.

" Are you sure it's the holy envoy, the handsome young man with deep red eyes? " Ling Fei asked while he grabbed her shoulders and looked straight into her eyes causing her to flush seeing how close he was to her face.

" Y-Yes... The Holy Envoy, The honorable guest who came from beyond... From what I have known, the rumor about you started when he asked inner disciple about you," she responded while her face looked down at the ground.

( beyond: beyond their current land/place )

" It seems everyone is doubting your abilities and creating their own theory about your sudden strength gain by connecting you to a devil," She responded with a hint of anger.

She couldn't believe someone would start a rumor about her friend and connect him to the devil.

She believes in him, she knows he can't be connected to the devil as she trusts her heart more than people's world.

Anger flowed through Ling Fei's heart while he listened to her words, he couldn't believe that man was still alive, if there was anyone who was the devil here then it was definitely him, the Holy Envoy

" Calm down brat, this is not the time to be angry, "

The voice rang on the back of his head, while he took off his hands from her shoulder.

He just couldn't suppress the anger because he knew he couldn't recover his reputation.

One can be dumb, very dumb, but that person is definitely not Ling Fei.

There is no way he can recover his reputation by describing his sudden strength gain, he can't simply reveal the information of his immortal master.

As such, he has no answer on how to answer if someone asks, especially those elders, great elders, and even the sect master.

To make matters worse, a few influential elders are already his enemy.

' Ahhh! Just how did such things suddenly happen, till now, no one had a problem and now, out of nowhere, people are connecting me to the devil when I am completely innocent, ' Ling Fei clenched his fist and greeted his teeth.

" Hmm...hu hu hu..huuuu! " While Ling Fei was getting public hate, Bai Lung was humming a piece of melodious music in his quarter.

Suddenly his ears were flooding with notifications with multiple windows popping up.

[ Ding! The host has angered the protagonist, Ling Fei. You have obtained additional points ]

[ Ding! The Host has obtained a total of 20,000 points. The system recommends doing some shopping ]

[ Ding! For the host's first purchase, the system offers more than a 90% discount only if, the host signs the contract where the Host agrees to sleep with me, every night for one week!!! Non-negotiable... ]

[ Ding! The Host has attracted the curiosity and hatred of the supporting character – The Immortal Master ]

" Immortal Master? " Bai Lung thoughtfully nodded his head, successfully learning the golden finger of Ling Fei.

He had never expected this chosen one to have a powerful master... But, what is the gender of this master?

If it's male then it's pointless but if it's a woman then things are different.

No hard feelings for men, but it's just Bai Lung has no interest in men as much as he has in women.

' hmm, looking at his cocky nature yet perfect mind control... Where he tried to assassinate me at night while also avoiding everyone's detection and executing such a cruel method, it's safe to assume the master is male, ' Bai Lung thought knowing a protagonist would generally be hot headed who is carried by luck instead of plan.

' Not just that but even the plan itself should have been made by the immortal, ' he further added in his mind.

However, focusing his gaze back on the multiple windows in front of him, he looked at a particular window that was a purple hologram instead of a blue hologram.

It was a contract that stated, the system would offer him more than a 90% discount.

Two options were given to him at the bottom of the hologram.

( I Accept ) ( I wholeheartedly accept )

[ If the Host doesn't choose one of the options within 1 minute, the host will die and will spend the rest of eternity with the system, ]

Bai Lung: "..."

It's not like he wanted to refuse but why was there no refuse button here?

This makes no logical sense, how can a system force someone to such a measure?

Bai Lung needs justice, there should be a reject button.

This is injustice, a violation.
