Chapter 626 Don''t Get Cheated By Him
Everyone was d they reached the Full Moon City without any more trouble.
They were d to be back in the stronghold of the Cyan Sect.
A white-haired old woman greeted Sissi. Her old eyes had a ring effect that made people feel
constrained.
Her eyes crinkled in amusement as soon as she saw Sissi. Quickly she held Sissi''s hands intimately
and looked her up and down.
"Good! Good! It''s best to see youe back," the old woman said with true delight. She seemed to be
genuinely d to see Sissi return.
She pulled Sissi into her arms in a motherly embrace. Her eyes were sparkling with doting light.
"Elder Susan, I''m d to be back. I was afraid that I would never return or see you!" Sissi sighed.
The old woman turned out to be an Elder in the Cyan Sect. Snuggling in her arms, Sissi finally burst
into tears due to the grievances she had suffered. Her delicate body was shaking as she sobbed like a
child.

Atst, the old woman managed to calm Sissi down with coaxing and amusement. Then she sent her
disciples to show the other people, who had returned, to their chambers.
Arrangements were made for Austin in a wing-room. Everything seemed peaceful. Austin too had taken
rest.
Night had befallen.
Austin sat cross-legged and intended to practice the Golden Sun Scripture, but he couldn''t calm down.
His eyes were filled with coldness and rage.
''Hmm. The people of the Cyan Sect have been treating me coldly ever since I came here, like they are
high above me. Even Sissi never spoke of the Vital Energy Cleansing Pool.
I have a feeling that Sissi wants to go back on what she had promised.
It will not be good for anyone if she breaks her promise.
The Cyan Sect will have to pay a heavy price if she cheats and annoys me!
Sissi, I wish you won''t push me to do that!''
A thought flickered through Austin''s head. He really wished he wouldn''t have to turn against Sissi and
her people.
Austin was not a person open to coercion. Applying coercion and force on him would only result in
brutality and killing.
"Younger brother Austin. Eh, brother Austin, have you gone to bed?"
Just when Austin was lost in his deep thoughts, he heard an enchanting female voice. The pleasant
smell of orchids and musk floated into Austin''s room and greeted his nostrils.
The door was slowly pushed open, and a figure slipped in. Austin raised his head only to find Tessa
standing in front of him.
"Elder sister, it''s you!"
Tessa was the only person Austin liked the most in the Cyan Sect.
"Brother Austin, I have to talk to you about something."
She said softly as she sat down next to Austin. The smell of her fragrance reached his nose.
"Oh, what business do you have with me?"
Austin asked.
"Brother Austin, I have observed that you have been quite unhappy since you came here. I guess it
must be something about the Vital Energy Cleansing Pool."
Tessa asked with the greatest care.
"Ah! Well, it could be a reason."
Austin admitted.
"Brother Austin, the Vital Energy Cleansing Pool is the most precious thing belonging to the Cyan Sect.
It won''t open to outsiders in normal circumstances.
So, I was greatly surprised when Sissi promised you that.
I suppose Sissi had no way out but to agree to that.
She is the Holy Daughter and ranks high in the Cyan Sect. The Sect Leader might grant you
permission to enter the Vital Energy Cleansing Pool if she requested the Sect Leader.
So, I suggest you to calm down first, brother Austin. It is undeniable that it was you who saved Sissi
and us. Sissi will surely do something about it."
Tessaforted Austin.
"I hope so, sister. Don''t worry about me. I have a clear mind about that."
Austin responded with a faint smile.
"Brother Austin, I wish you to promise me one thing."
Tessa looked straight into Austin''s eyes as she spoke.
"Oh! What is it?"
Austin asked her in a confused state.
"You must promise me, that you will not do anything foolish if the Sect Leader and Elders don''t allow
you to enter the Vital Energy Cleansing Pool.
It is very easy for the members of the Cyan Sect to kill a man. I don''t want to see you get hurt in any
way.
Brother Austin, you can also ask Sissi for something else as apensation, like elixirs or martial arts
skill, which are good for your cultivation."
Tessa said earnestly.
Tessa''s concern for Austin made him feel a warmth in his heart.
"Sister, don''t worry. I can deal with it, I cherish my life more than you think."
"Ha ha! That''s a great relief for me. I''m tired and need some sleep. You too should go to bed early,
Austin."
Tessa stood up as she said those words and left the room.
In an ornate boudoir something else was happening.
Elder Susan of the Cyan Sect, Sissi and her old granny were in the bedroom.
"What? Sissi, how could you promise an outsider a chance to soak in the Vital Energy Cleansing Pool?
You know the importance of the pool. It''s really a rash decision from your side.
Sect Leader has long before announced the disciples to be selected to enter the Vital Energy
Cleansing Pool. They are all genius key disciples. Soaking in the Vital Energy Cleansing Pool is of
great significance to them. It''s absolutely impossible to give this opportunity to an outsider."
Elder Susan said in a reproachful tone.
"It''s outrageous! Thatd is an overambitious person whoes from a remote tiny empire. How could
he go so far to ask for entry into the important ce of the Cyan Sect?
This is really nonsense!"
At the moment, only rage could be seen on Elder Susan''s face. A hint of murderous intention was
found in her eyes and the air was filled with terror.
"Moreover, he has gone much too far to covet Sissi, the Holy Daughter of the Cyan Sect! I heard a few
words from the apanying disciples that he became very close to you on your way back. What the
hell is going on? Sissi, you should know better about your status. You cannot be so casual about these
things."
"Elder Susan, you don''t know what happened. I had to agree to this conditionid by the young hero
Austin. If I hadn''t taken the decision to let Austin escort me back home, I don''t know what I would have
suffered. Elder Susan, can''t you make allowances to pay him back for my life?"
Sissi poured out her grievance with tears.
This calmed Elder Susan a little, and her face became a little rxed.
"Well, it''s not your fault, Sissi.
But it''s a matter of prime importance to know whether thisd can enter the Vital Energy Cleansing
Pool.
I am not in a position to decide in this matter. I am afraid the Sect Leader will hardly agree if we ask
him."
"Elder Susan, I have promised Austin. Do you want me to be regarded as a faithless person? Do you
want people to think that I go back on my words?"
Sissi was making herst effort.
"Sissi, don''t behave like a child.
It''s really a matter of great importance.
People are evil-minded, my dear. And it''s difficult to tell what''s going on in their minds. You are too
simple and can be easily deceived.
How about exining to me in detail why you got so close to him on your way back?"
Elder Susan inquired.
"Elder Susan, you must have been mistaken. I got close to him just because I was curious about his
identity and background. But, he has been a real gentleman."
"Sissi, people''s minds are unfathomable and sinister. You are too young to understand the greed of
peopleing from humble sects. They only want to y up to people of power and influence.
Thatdes from a remote tiny empire. Yet, he is daydreaming to approach and utilize you! Don''t
you realize that?"
