Emperor’s Domination Chapter 4602: Looming Crisis

Chapter 4602: Looming Crisis

Whats that supposed to mean? Jian Ming said: Are you saying that youre not interested in Miss Ye, that she isnt worthy of being your companion?

He then gazed implicatively at the scion and continued: At, I guess I understand, you are the future lord of Paramount and think there is a disparity between the social status of the involved parties.

He couldnt fight back when Li Qiyes group teased him. It was a different story now and the scion turned red as a result.

Thats not what I meant at all. The latter waved his hands repeatedly and denied it.

He hurriedly explained himself: Miss Ye, you are a beautiful noble but this marriage was decided by the seniors, not myself. It is not my wish but that doesnt mean that I think lowly of you.

I understand and do not mind the comment, Scion. Ye Tingrong responded.

First, it was true that there was a disparity in status. Golden Gate wasnt comparable to Paramount Gate. Her sect has only been created recently, relatively. It lacked foundation and resources while solely relying on the founder. On the other hand, Paramount Gate had a deep history with numerous top masters.

She was also introspective and knew that she wasnt the reason for the marriage requests. This was only because of her ancestor.

The scion heaved a sigh of relief after seeing her being so understanding. However, Jian Ming didnt let up and smirked at the scion: Miss Ye is both beautiful and gentle, have you never thought of actually marrying her? Maybe a little anticipation and excitement?

It wasnt my wish. The honest scion shook his head.

So youre saying you just dont want to marry her? Jian Ming rubbed his chin while smirking at him.

No. The scion hurriedly explained: The grand dao is long and Ive only entered the door. I have not prepared sufficiently to have a companion and do not dare to let someone else down. Therefore, I wish to walk alone right now.

Not a bad idea. Li Qiye interjected: One less shackle will allow you to go farther.

I understand. The scion cupped his fist toward Li Qiye.

What if you are chosen? What will you do? Jian Ming asked a hard question.

Well... The scion hasnt thought about it and stole glances at Ye Tingrong.

She became interested in the answer and smiled at him: Right, if our two sects agree, what will you do, Scion?

I... The scion scratched his head and smiled awkwardly. Nonetheless, he told the truth: I havent thought of this before because Im only here as another number. Though our sect is here to propose a marriage alliance, its mainly because of Three Thousand Dao. We are the wingmen in this case.

He actually revealed his sects goal and Three Thousand Daos plan to her. He shook his head and continued: Logically, the only two real competitors are Three Thousand Dao and True Immortal. The only other candidates are Lions Roar or Divine Dragon Valley but Im not sure whether they want to join.

Tingrong let out a sigh, once again lamenting her lack of autonomy. After all, her sect might not be able to withstand the pressure from the two behemoths.

Eventually, they must make a choice, whether it be True Immortal or Three Thousand Dao. Both the groom and bride were nothing more than political tools.

Ive heard that Lions Roar Royal Lord still doesnt have an engagement. Jian Ming pondered.

The scion smiled and said: Its embarrassing, Miss Ye, but the truth is that Im just another pawn here. I apologize if I have offended you somehow.

I can sympathize. She responded.

You might not be interested but Im sure your sect is interested in the emperors recently-obtained item. Jian Ming only wanted to cause trouble at this point, piercing through the thin veil of pretense.

The scion couldnt answer and Tingrongs expression became serious.

Finally, the scion broke the silence and said: The truth is I dont know anything, not even the item obtained by the emperor. I didnt see him when I visited Golden Gate either.

Having said that, he stared at Tingrong.

She chuckled and shook her head: Im afraid that I will disappoint everyone because I dont know either. I havent seen the ancestor.

You havent seen the ancestor yet? Jian Ming was surprised to hear this: Didnt he come out of Worldbreaker already?

Everyone saw him escaping from the dynasty that day. He should have returned to the sect already but this didnt seem to be the case.

She remained straightforward with the group: He has yet to return, thats why I have no idea what he obtained from Worldbreaker.

The others exchanged glances. Jian Ming and the daoist knew that what he got was a peerless gemstone, something far more precious than any dao lord weapon. Where did he go then?

Hes on the run, not wanting to bring the peerless item back and dragging his sect down. Xiao Xuan didnt hold back.

Thats plausible. The daoist nodded in agreement: All the other experts and sects desire this item and will come to Golden Gate for it.

Thats why he ran away in order to protect the sect. Jian Ming agreed.

I see. The scion felt the same way.

Wealth will arouse the greed of others. Tingrong sighed after hearing this. Although Golden Gate was strong due to their emperor, he alone couldnt fight against the entire world. He had no choice but to run given the circumstances.

Its useless. Li Qiye shook his head: A monk can run but the temple cant, unless he doesnt give a damn about his descendants lives.
