Thank you for votes and adds!

Shen Yi shook his head wryly. He was obviously making an important romantic gesture here for his kitten, but the heartless person in his heart was still gobbling the roasted duck up as if they were never gonna eat such a thing again.

Fairy Ruge was in a shock. She stood gaping at Shen Yi, wondering why he would do such a thing, accusing him with glimmering tears in her eyes.

"Brother Shen Yi. What did I do wrong? Was it not agreed that you would marry me?"

The beautiful girl cried silently, her heartbreaking figure causing many men to be indignant about what Shen Yi has done. By announcing such a thing, Ruge was accusing him of reneging against a promise made with Starry Sect, and ruining Fairy Ruge's reputation.

Shen Yi, however ignored Ruge's pleas and tearful gesture. He stood upright and glanced at all the Sect Masters who were there for the meeting.

These people were here just to watch a show. No one had actually wanted to easily give away the Alliance Head position. It was due to respect for Starry Sect that the other Sects had actually considered Shen Yi.

There were many other senior fighters in the jianghu. Why should they listen to an upstart? Yet among the many fighters, who here was a young and handsome promising one like Shen Yi, a suitable partner for Sect Master Yu's beloved daughter.

Shen Yi had been taken in by the previous Silver Wolf Sect Master when he was ten years old from god knows where. Many were surprised to see how close the old Sect Master was to this adopted son of his, and surprised that he was willing to pass down his legacy to a boy of unknown origins. But the young Sheng Yi had proven his mettle over the years, succesfully uniting the sect when he took over from the old Sect Master six years later, when a few elders had tried to commit treason and murder the old Sect Master. In his anger, when he found out the grevious hurt given to the old Sect Master, he had lashed at the elders, destroying many of their cultivation, damaging their meridians and banned them from entering Silver Wolf territory.

The other Sect Masters had to admit that Shen Yi had proven to be firm and ruthless leader. Had he assumed the role of Alliance Head with Starry Sky's support, the other Sects would have to bow their heads.

But now that Shen Yi was digging his grave, the other Sects should be helpful and help him further.

"Ah Young Shen is really too foolish. Young Shen, Sect Master Yu had put away his pride and recommended you to us as the new Alliance Head. Surely, Young Master Shen would not dare to disrespect Sect Master Yu?" A sneering old man with a long moustache had stood up to accuse Shen Yi. His words seemed to encourage Shen Yi to take the role, but everyone could hear his implied words that not only shamed Sect Master Yu but also tried to pull the proud Shen Yi into retaliating, giving them good reason to start a fight.

But Shen Yi acted as if he barely heard anything.

Despite the jeers sent to him, he stood in the middle of it all, still casually drinking his tea with a confident mischevious smile, daring anyone to come before him. He even blatantly grabbed the woman's hand next to him, acting as if he was on a date rather than a respectable meeting.

Nothing seemed to actually bother him, as if this Alliance Meeting was a mere tea party rather than a gathering of the honourable Sects.

The other Sect Members were riled up by his domineering action and words. This was the jianghu, but every fighter knew to respect the stronger party. His ignorant attitude was just asking for it!

"Is Sect Master Shen trying to make enemies with everyone here?"

Lady Bai Lan's cold voice appeared. Dressed in a body-hugging fighter dress, favoured by lady fighters of the jianghu, showing her beautiful snow white shoulders, long creamy legs, and ample chest, many among the jianghu were eyeing for a night with this elegant goddess.

Yet, her prowess with poison was known to all, and her martials arts were formidable. No one dared to offend this beautiful woman who could end you in the worst ways possible without lifting a finger.

Shen Yi sipped his tea and gave a glance to his heartless kitten who was attacking a bowl of mung bean dessert cake.

His eyes twinkled with mischief and he cocked his head cheekily, causing Su Chen to almost spurt out the food in her mouth.

"Well, that depends on my wife next to me. Wife, should I be the next Alliance Head?"
