After Evan Chu returned to Frostbane Sect, Selena Yale was the first to greet him. Seeing that he was safe, she finally relaxed. But with Evan’s monstrous defensive power, there truly weren’t many who could hurt him.
Selena, you’ve worked hard. Has anything happened these past few days? Evan asked with a smile as she approached.
“You’re the Frostbane Sect Master—who’d dare cause trouble on your turf? That sword of yours made you famous throughout the Azure Tide Ruins. Everyone knows you’re ridiculously strong.” Selena replied with a smile.
Soon, Joan He and several other elders arrived, each reporting on the sect’s affairs over the past few days. Evan was very satisfied—being a hands-off sect master was truly worry-free.
Joan He mentioned that after the recent expansion, the sect still had over a hundred million Starstones left. Evan had nothing but praise for her management skills.
Everyone entered the main hall together. Evan briefly recounted what had happened during his trip, leaving the elders startled. When he said the dark organization might soon target a major sect, everyone was deeply alarmed, each guessing which sect would be next.
“Don’t worry—after two failed attacks on smaller sects, the dark organization will be lying low for now. Pay close attention to any changes in the sect and unfamiliar faces. And be extra careful about food and drink. As late-stage Divine Martial experts, you can easily go ten days or half a month without eating—it’s better to be safe than sorry.” Evan said.
No one dared to argue with Evan’s words. Joan He spoke up: “Sect Master, the sect expansion is nearly complete—when do you plan to marry the two Saintesses and Pavilion Master Selena Yale?”
Evan glanced at Selena Yale and smiled, “Selena, you should return to Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion in the next few days, hand over your Pavilion Master position, and wait for me to come and formally escort you as my bride.”
“Alright, I’ll set out tomorrow. But isn’t it tricky to marry three women in one day? Everyone wants to be the first bride, and whoever is last will surely feel overshadowed.” Selena said.
Sect Master, I've checked the calendar—ten days from now is an auspicious day. That means your wedding should be held then. The invitations and necessary items need to be prepared, and you should decide which sects to invite, Grand Elder said.
Invite everyone from any sect with a name in the Azure Tide Ruins. Whether they come is up to them, but it will show which sects are friendly or distant toward Frostbane Sect. I'll leave this to the Grand Elder, Evan said.
I will make sure to complete the Sect Master's task beautifully. I'll go calculate which sects need to be invited, the Grand Elder said before leaving.
Evan wasn't familiar with the Azure Tide Ruins, but with the Grand Elder handling things, he was at ease. He turned to Joan He, 'Elder Joan, I'll leave guest accommodations and reception to you. Don't be stingy—Frostbane Sect may not be the richest, but we're definitely in the top three. Don't let us lose face.'
Rest assured, Sect Master, I know what to do—I won't let you down! Joan He replied respectfully.
Good. I've already sent betrothal gifts to all three parties. I have my own plans for the wedding day. Everyone, get to work. Selena, come walk with me—let's see how Frostbane Sect looks now, Evan said.
After everyone left, Selena Yale asked, 'Evan, how will you marry all of us? You don't know any clone techniques, so there has to be an order, right? I don't mind being last, but what about Serena Dream and Lynne Nie?'
That's a secret for now. No one will be last—I promise. If I've said it, I'll make it happen, so don't worry, Evan replied with a mysterious smile.
Frostbane Sect is now a super-sect. If you walked a full circle, it'd take over an hour. Evan took Selena's hand and flew into the air. 'It's clearer from above. What do you think of Frostbane Sect now?'
It's so grand—even Freewind Palace and Sacred Sword Sect can't compare. Aren't you worried they'll resent you for this? Selena asked, concern in her voice.
Not worried—they wouldn't do something so foolish. They know who I am, so relax. By the way, did you miss me while I was gone? Evan quickly changed the subject.
Of course not. I'm not some naive girl who pines for a man every time he's away. You always come back—why should I miss you? Selena shot back.
You say that, but I missed you. How about a little exercise tonight? Your voice is music to my ears, Evan teased.
Stop it! I'm not that kind of woman. Besides, I'm pregnant with our child—what if something happens? Selena blushed and protested.
That excuse doesn't work—you're a Saint Martial expert. No matter how strong I am, I can't affect our child. No need to be shy, Evan replied.
I said no, so it's no. Don't think I'm some wanton woman. Before I met you, I was pure as jade. If you want me, you'll have to wait for our wedding night! Selena insisted.
That's tricky—I'll be marrying three women that day, so I'll have three wedding nights. If Serena and Lynne are too strong, you'll be left out, Evan joked.
I knew you weren't serious. What you need most now is to find a Netherghost Violet Orchid and break through to the Saint Martial Realm. It's a turbulent time, and my sect needs your protection, Selena said, looking into the distance.
Netherghost Violet Orchid is incredibly rare—even Frostbane Sect doesn't have one. Where did you get yours? Evan asked curiously.
It was left by the ancestor of Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion. I found it by chance when I opened the ancestor's secret chamber. That's how I became Pavilion Master, Selena said, her expression shifting slightly as if recalling something painful.
What's wrong? Why do you look so upset? Evan asked gently.
I just thought of my senior sister. We always fought, but she was still my sister. You killed her—should I avenge her by killing you? But now I'm marrying you. What will people say? Selena said, conflicted.
No one knows your senior sister was killed by me. I'm truly sorry—it was my fault. But I promise I'll do my best for you and our child. Evan gently embraced Selena.
