Chapter 234 - I Miss Him So MuChapter
Jiu Shen slowly got down from the skies. His sudden descent brought a series of surprised exclamations from the hired servants who were busy constructing his sect building.
At first, they were afraid of his abrupt visit since they were unaware of who he was, but the fact that he came down from the sky was a testament that he was at least someone in the 8th-rank Divine realm because only experts at that level could fly.
"Who is this exalted figure?"
"I have no idea..."
"Wait, he looks a bit familiar... Lord Jiu Shen?!"
Right after those words were spoken, the crowd’s eyes immediately brightened. Jiu Shen had already become a famous figure in the whole of Silver Wing Empire. His identity as an ’Alchemy Saint’ was already known by everyone and he was also named as one of the top experts of the empire. Aside from that, he had also become famous because of his store which only sells expensive wines.
"Greetings, Lord Jiu Shen!" The servants greeted him respectfully. They did not dare call him ’Wine Master Jiu’ since it was only used by his customers, and they were too poor to even buy his cheapest wine.
Jiu Shen remained unperturbed, but he still nodded his head at them.
"Where are Liuli and Xia Xinyue?" He asked one of the servants.
"Young Miss Liuli and Young Miss Xia are currently on a meeting with the engineers and architects. They should be discussing the final touches of this building." The servant replied respectfully.
’Looks like I’ve visited at the wrong time. I should leave for now and check on those little brats in the fighting arena. I wonder how they are doing after Hu Xiandao took over their training...’ Jiu Shen thought to himself.
"Lord Sect Master!"
"Lord Jiu Shen!"
Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly heard two sweet voices coming from behind. He turned his head back and saw two lithe figures sprinting towards him. Their slim and curvy bodies swayed seductively as they bolted towards Jiu Shen.
Jiu Shen stopped in his tracks and stared at these two beautiful ladies with his signature expressionless look.
The two ladies came to an abrupt halt when they were already an arm’s length away from Jiu Shen. They then held their chests as they huffed and puffed after that short sprint.
"Lord Sect Master, you should have notified us of your visit, so that we could welcome you personally." Xia Xinyue said as she looked at Jiu Shen while pouting her small lips.
Liuli nodded her head in agreement and said. "Lord Jiu Shen, what brings you here? Do you want the two of us to tour you around the sect building? Although it is still unfinished, I’m confident that you will be satisfied with how it looks."
"I just decided to take a look at the progress of the construction. There is no need to welcome me personally and someone also informed me that the both of you are still discussing some things with the engineers and architects. As for touring the place, that can wait. I will visit again after the construction is completed. Just instruct someone to inform me if it is already near completion." Jiu Shen replied calmly while looking at the two ladies.
"Will you stay here for a while, Lord Jiu Shen?" Liuli asked with a flirtatious smile.
’This vixen!’ Xia Xinyue cursed in her heart as she glared at Liuli’s side profile.
"No. I still have to check on a few things. The both of you should go back to continue your discussion with the engineers and architects." Jiu Shen replied with a poker face. He was already immune to Liuli’s seduction, so it did not affect him.
Liuli put on a sad look when she heard his reply, but she then smiled and said. "In that case, I will personally visit you once the construction of the sect building is near completion."
"No! I- I mean I will go with you!" Xia Xinyue butted in. She was afraid that Liuli would get ahead of her in getting Jiu Shen’s attention.
Liuli raised an eyebrow when she heard that, but she could not do anything to stop this woman. The both of them were like fire and water all this time, and it was already a surprise that they were able to do their job well without any trouble. She pursed her lips while taking a sidelong glance at Xia Xinyue.
"Ladies, I have to go now. Make sure that this won’t be delayed. I still have many things to do after this construction is completed, so I hope that you won’t make a mess in this job." Jiu Shen said.
Liuli and Xia Xinyue bowed respectfully when they heard his words. They then replied in unison. "Yes, Lord Sect Master (Yes Lord Jiu Shen).
"Jiu Shen took one last look at the unfinished sect building before he soared through the skies like a majestic eagle. The two ladies stared at the small dot in the sky with all sorts of emotions. They only recovered after no longer seeing his figure.
"Sigh. I miss him so much. We should complete this construction as soon as possible so that we can see him again." Xia Xinyue blurted out without thinking.
Strangely, Liuli did not oppose her idea this time. She merely nodded her head to show her agreement.

Inside the beast fighting arena. Loud grunting sounds can be heard as one hundred individuals can be seen practicing with their swords in hand. All of them looked young, but their explosive muscles and tanned skins made them look much older.
In front of these young men were two figures who wore strict and rigid expressions. One of them was a tall man with a robust physique and long wavy red hair. He had his arms crossed as he stared at the youths in front of him. This man is Hu Xiandao, the new main instructor of these young men.
Standing beside him was a man who looked to be in his early thirties. He seemed smaller in comparison to the giant guy Hu Xiandao, but his piercing gaze and peerless aura made him just lose a bit when it comes to overall temperament. This man was Jiu Shen’s second disciple, Can Ye.
Can Ye’s complexion and appearance changed after he broke through to the 7th-rank Emperor realm. He no longer looked like a bedraggled mercenary...Jiu Shen glanced at everyone through his spiritual perception.
"Letting Hu Xiandao take over as their instructor was a good move. At least the Demon Crystal will not be wasted in his hands..." He muttered. He was satisfied with how things looked for the young kids.
