Chapter 1253: Chapter 1273: Put Down Your Pride, You Are Nothing!_1

"...That’s what happened."

In the simplest words, Yuan Ji recounted everything he knew.

"Yao Xuanji is the Lord’s Daughter. Weijiao couldn’t possibly compete with her. The restrains on you have disappeared, probably because she is already dead, or something else has happened. Even if not, it means she already knows Yao Xuanji has returned to the Immortal Realm, and you are of no use to her anymore. That’s why she willingly gave up control over you..."

"The Barren Wilderness is meaningless to her. The only one who mattered was Yao Xuanji. Now, Yao Xuanji has left, she will not return here, let alone care about a few servants. After all, our strength is probably considered insignificant in the Immortal Realm, even compared to her servants."

Ji Ruxue and Yan Chusheng had complicated expressions. They never expected that, after an overseas trip, everything had changed dramatically.

They did not even suspect that the Xuanji Fairy, whom they had suppressed for a long time, turned out to be the Lord’s Daughter of the Immortal Realm!

Their lives have been too bitter!

In the deserted Valley of Death, after being the guards for ten thousand years, just when they thought they were going to see the light at the end of the tunnel, they encountered such a massive upheaval.

Their backing had collapsed!

Without a word, they were abandoned by themselves.

Yan Chusheng asked, "Do you and Si Defa, as Lin Chen’s servants now, promise to take you to the Immortal World?"

Yuan Ji shook his head: "We faced the same choice as before, either die or submit to Lin Chen. We had no choice. We expected to die at Weijiao’s hands in the end, but who could have predicted that the situation would reverse in such a short time?"

"He did not promise us anything. After all, we are his servants with our lives in his hands. If he dies, we cannot live."

"However, he is much better than Weijiao, valuing friendships and loyalty. I think, as long as I serve him with all my heart and soul, when he ascends to the Immortal Realm, he won’t abandon us like Weijiao."

"You may say I’m consoling myself, but I have no other choice now. This is the only way, and I can only keep going as hard as I can."

Ji Ruxue and Yan Chusheng looked at each other, their gazes filled with complexity.

Yuan Ji looked at Lin Chen in the air and said softly, "Although you both look down upon Si Defa and me, after we suffered together in the Valley of Death for ten thousand years, I have a piece of advice for you."

Ji Ruxue pursed her lips: "Speak."

Yuan Ji said quickly, "Now that you are free, if you don’t want to serve others, just turn around and leave now. You can enjoy your freedom for the rest of your life, as no one in the Barren Wilderness can threaten your safety."

"If you are not satisfied, and still want to go to the Immortal Realm to live for a few thousand more years, then put aside your pride. Like Si Defa and me, serve Lin Chen as your master. Serve him sincerely and there will be rewards in the future."

Ji Ruxue frowned: "Hand over our lives to him?"

Yuan Ji smiled, "Even though he has just reached the Void stage and may be slightly weaker than us, we can still help him. If we do not help now, by the time he is powerful enough not to need our help, do you think he will still want us?"

"Even though he just broke into the Void stage and his strength might not be up to ours, if you are not genuinely willing to hand over control of your life and death to him, do you think he will trust you and let you stay by his side, knowing that you may kill him at any time?"

Ji Ruxue had a complex look on her face. She never expected Lin Chen to have advanced so quickly.

The first time she met him, she almost killed him. It was only by using the Five Elements Essence to outsmart her that he escaped. Now, in the blink of an eye, he is the Human Emperor. He resurrected the Lord’s Daughter and became a benefactor to her. His strength has even reached the Void stage.

She was somewhat unwilling, regaining her freedom with difficulty, only to bury it again with her own hands?

Then again, after a thousand years, her life was already running out. If she did not do this, she probably would not live long.

Moreover, she and the others assisted Weijiao in suppressing Yao Xuanji, the Daughter of the Immortal Domain Lord, which undoubtedly offended her greatly. If she ascends to the Immortal Realm in the future, wouldn’t they just be squashed outright?

If they become Lin Chen’s people, Yao Xuanji will have to spare them for Lin Chen’s sake. Didn’t they just witness her allow Si Defa and Yuan Ji to be taken as servants by Lin Chen?

Seeing their hesitation, Yuan Ji chuckled and said softly, "Are you struggling to accept that? You should ponder whether he is willing to accept you..."

Ji Ruxue’s eyes widened in disbelief.

He just broke into the Void stage. Would he refuse if two Half Immortals were willing to serve him?

Seeing their expressions, Yuan Ji scoffed, "Even the immensely powerful Ghost Tower only accepted the Master-Servant Contract from Lin Chen and didn’t even accept the Friendship Contract. Listen carefully, Lin Chen is the Master, and the Ghost Tower is the Servant..."
