Chapter 349: The Temple Lord’s Mark
However, what Lyvia Harding didn’t expect was…
After Jun Chester heard Theresa Hale’s words, he didn’t hesitate much and quickly responded.
“As long as you can handle things well, I can accompany you a few times a week. After all, you currently live in Luofu Lane, so as long as I have time, I can be available anytime.”
As these words were spoken, Theresa Hale stood frozen in place, her face instantly turning red.
As for Lyvia Harding…
Although she had the intention of accepting Theresa Hale, she felt a bit uncomfortable upon hearing Jun Chester’s promise to her.
Her own man casually agreed to accompany another woman like this?
Even if…
Even if her small physique couldn’t handle her man’s physicality, he should still consider her feelings, right?
At the very least, he should have informed her beforehand!
But now…This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
He readily agreed to Theresa Hale’s request?
In fact, both women misunderstood.
In Jun Chester’s view…
The reason Theresa Hale made such a request was simply because she felt lonely and didn’t have many people to talk to.
And as Theresa Hale’s childhood friend, of course, he wanted to help her solve her troubles.
In short…
Jun Chester’s mind was pure, unlike Theresa Hale and Lyvia Harding, whose thoughts were somewhat wicked.
Without saying much more to Theresa Hale, Jun Chester left with one final remark.
“I have some other matters to attend to regarding the handover of the group. You take care of yourself.”
Before Theresa Hale could react, Jun Chester turned and walked towards Lyvia Harding, saying one more thing to her.
“I’m leaving now.”
Lyvia Harding looked at Jun Chester with a slightly resentful gaze and couldn’t help but chuckle.
“Heh, men!”
“Huh?”
Jun Chester looked confused.
“What’s wrong?”
Lyvia Harding took a deep breath and casually replied.
“Nothing, it’s fine.”
Jun Chester’s face flashed a hint of strangeness, but he didn’t dwell on it and quietly said to Lyvia Harding.
“Don’t worry, I will cure Vita as soon as possible. When that time comes, I will immediately come home. I hope you can surprise me again. I suggest… you can start with your attire. Also, I particularly like how you look in bed.”
This sentence stirred up Lyvia Harding’s psychological shadow.
She felt greatly embarrassed.
However, before Lyvia Harding could say anything, Jun Chester mischievously patted her buttocks and then walked around the car, opened the door, started the car, and drove away!
Just as Jun Chester left, Theresa Hale walked towards Lyvia Harding.
Blushing, she said, “Let’s… let’s go handle the handover work.”
Lyvia Harding gave Theresa Hale an unfriendly glance and suddenly asked her.
“Are you in a hurry or something?”
Theresa Hale looked ashamed.
“Well… kind of, but don’t feel uncomfortable. I won’t threaten your position. After all, you don’t know your husband. He only has you in his heart. Even if he promises to accompany me, it’s just treating me as a tool. You are the mature one, so why bother treating me, a tool, the same way?”
“Don’t worry, I will definitely follow the rules from now on. I won’t clash with you in terms of clothing. If you wear something bright, I’ll wear something lighter. I understand this rule.”
Lyvia Harding threatened Theresa Hale for the first time.
“Don’t be too happy too soon. When you taste the kind of experience you’ve been longing for, you will definitely regret it. By then, you won’t be able to hide from him!”
Theresa Hale was puzzled.
“What do you mean?”
Lyvia Harding rolled her eyes and didn’t explain further. She walked casually towards the headquarters building of Skyhowl.
At that moment, the Imperial Special Operations Bureau personnel had already arrived.
According to Verda Meskill’s instructions, Richard Meskill and Brigham Burgess were all taken into the car.
Richard Meskill was still begging for mercy!
Brigham Burgess wore a look of despair!
At this very moment, Brigham Burgess was no different from a useless person, clearly resembling a walking corpse!
Unfortunately, Margaret Lovall, who was far away in Pinkriver Temple on Emei Mountain, was unaware of everything Brigham Burgess had encountered in the imperial capital.
If Margaret Lovall knew that Brigham Burgess had been stripped of his lifelong cultivation by a single gesture from Jun Chester, what would she think?
Half an hour later, Jun Chester arrived at Yunlan Mountain, Hyuny Temple, driving his car.
At this moment, in the inner hall of Hyuny Temple, Vita was sitting on a luxurious couch. Wearing a white plain robe, every movement she made exuded a classical beauty. Her figure was exquisite, and her face was breathtakingly stunning. She stood out even more with the young female disciples from Pinkriver Temple on both sides!
Vita appeared like an ancient noblewoman, with an extraordinary temperament that surpassed all others. Her beauty could easily outshine many popular actresses.
However, Vita’s expression was extremely cold. In her hands, she held an invitation card. The content of the card was simple. In essence, it was an official invitation from Margaret Lovall, the head of Pinkriver Temple, inviting Vita to Emei Mountain to attend the Pinkriver Temple’s apprentice ceremony.
If Vita agreed to this matter, her act of rebellion against Pinkriver Temple would be forgiven. Otherwise, after the apprentice ceremony…
There would be no mercy!
At the bottom of the invitation card, the seal of the Pinkriver Temple’s head was stamped. The seal consisted of two small seal characters: “Yixian,” meaning “relying on immortality.”
In other words, Margaret Lovall was threatening Vita. She could choose not to return to Pinkriver Temple, but there would be only one consequence: death!
At this moment, not only Vita’s face turned icy, but the entire inner hall had an unusually cold atmosphere. The temperature in the hall dropped significantly.
Elder Rachel, standing beside Vita, suddenly exclaimed angrily.
“Margaret Lovall! That wretched woman! How dare she have the audacity to do such shameless things? We, Pinkriver Temple on Emei Mountain, have strict rules! We should not harm each other! You’ve been hiding in the imperial capital for so many years, and yet she still refuses to let you go! Isn’t she afraid that our ancestor will rise from the grave and kill her?!”
As these words fell, another young female disciple expressed her indignation.
“Yes! Margaret Lovall deserves to die! What she gave us is not an invitation card but a death warrant! Whether we go or not, we will die! Damn it! She clearly seized your position as the temple head in the past, and now she has the audacity to order you to return as the temple head! I think she’s afraid of being mocked by the martial arts world. She usurped the position, didn’t she?”
“After doing such things, she still wants face?”
Vita swept her gaze over the people below and suddenly said, “It seems that there is only one person now who can save us!”
Elder Rachel immediately guessed who Vita was referring to but sighed.
“Jun the Accursed, he is not a member of our Pinkriver Temple, nor is he anyone among the top ten sects in the martial arts world. If he intervenes in this matter, he will surely leave himself vulnerable to criticism. Even the True Martial Sect and other forces might pose a threat to his life!”
Upon hearing this, Vita seemed deflated.
“Now it seems that no one is here to uphold justice for us? That despicable Kennard Meskill, I don’t know what benefits Margaret Lovall has given him. He has been staying in Pinkriver Temple all these years as a guest elder! With that old thief around, even if Jun the Accursed intervenes, we have no hope of survival!”
Elder Rachel sighed.
“Life and death are fated. If Jun the Accursed agrees to save you, it would already be a great favor from the heavens! If we drag him into this quagmire, we would be acting unjustly!”
Vita nodded.
“There’s no other choice.”
After pondering for a moment, Elder Rachel suddenly reminded Vita.
“Temple head, I… I suddenly thought of a method that could help you restore fifty percent of your previous power! If you can regain fifty percent of your power, at least when you face Margaret Lovall, you will have a chance to protect yourself!”
Vita’s eyes brightened, and she hurriedly asked, “What method?”
Elder Rachel paused and waved her hand to the women below.
“You all can leave first.”
The crowd retreated.
Vita asked again, “What method is it? Why keep it from these trusted disciples under my command?”
Elder Rachel’s face showed a hint of unease, and she leaned closer to Vita’s ear, whispering five words.
“Yin-Yang Union Technique!”
Upon hearing this, Vita’s eyes widened, and she almost reflexively blurted out.
“Are you suggesting that I use Jun the Accursed as my cultivation vessel?”
Elder Rachel felt a bit embarrassed.
“While it may not be entirely appropriate, it wouldn’t be detrimental to Jun the Accursed! On the contrary, he would also benefit greatly!”
Vita’s face turned red.
“Where did you learn such a sinister technique? Why was I kept in the dark about it?”
Elder Rachel tried to hide her tracks.
“How could it be considered sinister? It’s clearly the essence of Taoism, the balance of yin and yang, the cycle of the heavenly dao. Where’s the evil in that?”
Vita frowned and questioned.
“I’m asking where you learned it from.”
Elder Rachel’s face reddened, and she stuttered in her response.
“It was given to me by that old scoundrel Gaylord Chow. I don’t know where he obtained it from. But… that doesn’t seem to be important. What matters is that if you cultivate this technique together with Jun the Accursed, you will undoubtedly benefit greatly!”
Vita’s face blushed with embarrassment.
“I have no problem with it. I won’t be the one at a disadvantage. But Jun the Accursed, would he agree? It’s impossible! If he had any interest in me, I would have already taken liberties with him seven years ago. But… a man like him, who only drinks a sip from the Three Thousand Weak Waters, how could he break his vows for a cripple like me? The difficulty is too high!”
Elder Rachel reminded her with a brave face.
“Although I’ve been alone all this time, I understand one thing: there are no men who can resist charm in this world! If there are, then… it’s in that area. No, it won’t work.”
Vita took a deep breath.
“I’ll give it a try.”
Elder Rachel immediately responded.
“I’ll go get rouge and makeup for you. With your looks, there’s an eight or nine out of ten chance of success!”
Vita looked worried.
“What if Jun the Accursed’s wife finds out? If she knows, where will I hide my face?”
Elder Rachel suddenly said.
“Jun the Accursed’s wife is not a concern. As long as you take good care of Jun the Accursed, no one will say anything! Jun the Accursed is such an exceptional man, would he let his backyard catch fire? It’s impossible!”
Vita didn’t say anything more.
Shortly after, Elder Rachel went to get the rouge for Vita.
Vita subconsciously swallowed.
Just the thought of soon displaying her unique charm in front of Jun Chester…
Her red lips trembled.
And at that moment, Jun Chester walked in from outside, looking at Vita with a strange expression, and calmly said.
“Helping you recover from your illness is a matter of friendship, but as for anything else… don’t harbor any beautiful thoughts.”
