Chapter 132: The Future (1)
"So, is everyone good now?"
"""Yes, Master!"""
Everyone bowed their head before Shen Yu.
"It's fine. It's a family meeting, not a sect meeting. Anyways, Yue'er and Xi'er, you two should talk later and clear up everything, okay?"
Ying Yue nodded her head while Ning Xi looked at her with guilty eyes.
"Master, I want to tell everything, but can I wait till evening? I'll call my sister so it'd be easy to tell everything."
Shen Yu raised an eyebrow in surprise.
"You have a sister?"
"Yes, I'm sorry for not telling till now. Actually, I didn't want to hide at all but It just never crossed my mind, especially since my sister...has some special condition."
Shen Yu nodded in understanding.
"That's fine by me and I'm sure everyone already forgave you, right?"
Ying Yue sighed and said.
"Yes, Master. I'm sorry I lost control of my emotions. And Sister Ning, you shouldn't feel burdened or anything, tell us when you want. Just talk to us if you have any difficulties, okay?"
Ning stood up and went to Ying Yue's seat. She then embraced her in a tight hug as she whispered.
"Thank you."
Ying Yue smiled and also gave a warm hug to her.
'Wow! Things really went smoothly, I was thinking it'll tough to handle them.'
Shen Yu was rather amused and wanted to them to continue, however he had other things to do.
"Anyways, you two can talk afterwards, we have some things to discuss."
Hearing his serious voice, everyone understood that the family meeting was over and the Sect meeting was starting. After giving each other a assuring look, Ning Xi and Ying Yue also sat back on their seats.
Shen Yu looked everyone present and nodded.
"After hearing Zhiyan's story, I've reflected in past actions and saw that I did a lot of mistakes. I'm admitting them and I will probably make more mistakes. But I still want to do what I think is right for us and the world. My moral compass is biased, yes.
I maybe a hypocrite, actually but since I have power I will do it."
His eyes turned cold along with his voice.
"At first, I was thinking of changing the world while following the existing rules.. heh, but even the people who made these rules needs to be changed so I've decided to make my own rules. From now on, this world will follow my rules, not theirs."
He knew he was probably going the same path as other went and came to be the tyrants of today. But he still hoped he would he would achieve what he envisioned.
'Hmm, system, you can make me the strongest, right? Like I'm currently the strongest of this realm but what if someone more powerful than me comes?'
[You don't need to worry, Master. With me here, you can do whatever you want. You're the God.]
'Ah! Thanks. That's actually very reassuring to know.'
Shen Yu rested his back on his seat and smiled.
"I can do it all alone but I fear I won't be any better than the current rule makers. I make mistakes and I'm pretty sure I will so I need you all to help me make the new world. If one makes a mistake, others help them. That's what we would do."
He could practically see fire in everyone's eyes which made him smile in confidence. They were his backbone who he knew he could trust his back with.
"So, I hereby declare that I want to be the one to make rules and decide how this world works. And I'll need your help in that. Starting with Qing Zhiyan, you said something about the Empire?"
Qing Zhiyan smiled as a mischievous glint passed through her eyes. She was also getting excited for the future, something she had always dreaded.
"You can leave the Empire to me, Master. I may not be powerful but I'm confident that with you supporting me, I can bring the Empire to your feets. I have not spent all these years in waste, after all. I just need to do some more research about the Major Sect which is involved in all of this.
So, I ask you to give me some time and the Empire will be yours."
Saying that, she bowed. Her voice never faltered and it was filled with confidence, as if taking down Empire was small thing.
Shen Yu nodded at her and said.
"Good! You can also seek help from your sisters. Very well then, I won't interfere in your matters and let you handle this matter."
"Thank you, Master."
Qing Zhiyan bowed, still having a subtle smile on her face.
Shen Yu then turned towards Ying Yue and his lips tugged upwards.
"Yue'er, you belonged to an organisation, right? And they betrayed you?"
Ying Yue was startled hearing that but calmly said.
"Yes, Master. It's the biggest Assassination Organisation of this Empire. They have connections everywhere and even though, everyone despises them on surface, they use their services anyways."
"They betrayed you. What do you think should happen to them?"
"The ones who betrayed me are the top echelon which actually controls everything in the organisation. Only they had knowledge about all assassins so even other fellow members of mine didn't know anything about me, not even my face.
So I think it'd be best if we kill the top echelon and take the organisation under us. Believe me, Master, they would prove to be very useful to you."
Ying Yue's voice was calm and steady, however she was feeling a disgust everytime she thought the organisation.
'You should be thankful that you're useful for Master otherwise I would have slaughtered every last one of you.'
