Chapter 6219: Your Fortune

The group could only chuckle, becoming too familiar with the monarch’s disdain for Buddhism. Alas, they had no idea why.

“Haha, well, this lotus is good enough for healing purposes.” The monarch salivated and said: “I broke the formation and won’t care for other stuff, just this one.”

“You can’t, the flower has an owner already.” Princess Chen shook her head.

She stared at Li Xian; others did the same.

The temptation was real for cultivators since they lived on the edge of a blade. Having this meant having another lifeline during a moment of crisis.

However, they were sure this was planted by an ancestor of the Li, not a wild flower.

“It’s probably an ancestral lotus...” Li Xian scratched his head.

The lotus could fetch a sky-high price and help his clan persevere. Alas, he also understood the risk of having something so precious.

“It belongs to your clan then.” Princess Chen said, suppressing her desire to do what was right.

“The flower is precious but it is your property.” Orchidcore said, viewing Li Xian as a friend.

The young saints were kind because other big shots didn’t share the same principles and sentiments. They would look down on Li Xian and seize the lotus without hesitation. Shallow friendship meant nothing compared to tangible benefits.

“Hey, what are you all trying to do, don’t decide for me. I naturally want a piece of this lotus.” The monarch glared at them.

“What piece? It belongs to the Li.” The princess said.

“So what? Leaving it to him is only hurting him. When people find out, they will not only kill him but also eradicate what’s left of his clan.” The monarch said.

The group paused for a moment and realized the monarch was right.

“Mere justifications for your greed.” The princess said.

“If I don’t take it today, someone else will do so in just a few days, trust me, you are unaware of the malice in humans’ heart.” The monarch said.

“You are right, Monarch.” Li Xian sighed: “I am not qualified to keep this lotus. The risk is too high.”

“See, I will keep it for you then.” The monarch laughed.

“No, your intention is impure and selfish.” The princess said.

“It’s not out of the question.” Li Qiye finally spoke and tapped the monarch’s shoulder: “You will protect it for him, that’s fine.”

“Hahaha, see, the young noble has spoken.” The monarch laughed.

“Since you are taking care of it for him, let him follow you.” Li Qiye smirked: “The four of them too, they need to supervise you so that you won’t use it for yourself.”

“What?!” The monarch was going to take the lotus but pulled back after hearing this.

“No, impossible! What kind of silly joke is this? I don’t want five step-children following me everywhere, I would rather die!” He protested.

“As if we want to follow you.” The princess said: “I don’t want to be stuck supervising him.”

“Being able to follow him is a fortune, others don’t have the same luck.” Li Qiye told the princess.

The group exchanged glances.

“Did you hear that, Child? Others kneel and beg to follow me yet I don’t give them a single glance. You best appreciate the once-in-an-epoch opportunity.” The monarch gloated after hearing Li Qiye’s praise.

“But we are cultivators already on top of being students for Orchid Academy, it doesn’t feel right to learn witchcraft.” Orchidcore hesitated.

“Amitabha.” Monk Zhu placed his palms together. Although this witchcraft path was incredible, it might not be suitable for them.

“Should we really follow him?” The princess found this idea strange.

Although Li Qiye was far weaker than them and had no authority, they somehow found him credible and listened to him.

“Don’t even think about it, you commoners cannot learn my unique witchcraft, haha, no talent at all, not to mention being so disobedient.” The monarch laughed.
