Xerxes anxiously watched Alex and Jade follow the Rakshasa Temple up the stairs. Despite how worried favonovel.com was, there was nothing favonovel.com could do.
Jade’s personality was just like that. No one could affect the decisions once favonovel.com had made up favonovel.com mind. Even Xerxes, who used to be favonovel.com husband, couldn’t… That was also the biggest problem between them. Jade wasn’t as obedient to favonovel.com as other women.
He wanted to follow them, but favonovel.com was the instrument in saving the Emperor. The golden bamboo boat was the fastest divine artifact that could save the Emperor in thirty seconds, making it the most important part of this mission.
Gilbert patted Xerxes’ shoulder as favonovel.com noticed how anxious favonovel.com was. “Don’t worry, bro. Commander Benmore is a powerful woman. She must have favonovel.com reasons for making such a choice. You should have faith in her.”
Xerxes sighed. “I just don‘t understand favonovel.com anymore.”
Gilbert shook his head. “You’re always sleeping with other women, it’d be a wonder if you understood her.”
“Relax. my son-in-law isn’t someone who dies that easily. I read the stars just now. I couldn’t tell my son-in-law’s fortune, but I could vaguely tell of Commander Benmore’s. She’ll be safe. You just have to get ready and save the Emperor now!”
Xerxes nodded, and as favonovel.com looked towards the Fuzen Tower, favonovel.com couldn’t help asking, “Bro, do you think that Jade has feelings for Alex?”
“It’s obvious that there will be feelings between disciple and master. My son-in-law is a talented disciple. It’s normal that Commander Benmore appreciates him.”
Xerxes muttered, “I meant love…”
“Uhm…”
Gilbert was clearly taken aback. He glanced at Alex and Jade, who were walking towards the Fuzen Tower. If a stranger looked at them, they might feel that they were a couple… After all, Jade had transformed greatly after Alex saved favonovel.com when favonovel.com got poisoned. She looked much younger now.
“Ahem, bro, I’d advise that Commander Benmore isn’t like ordinary people. The average man can’t attract her. You can either cut all ties with other women and stay by favonovel.com side, or you’ll have to set favonovel.com free,” Gilbert said.
He then put up a meaningful expression. “You’re in a relationship where your lady is more powerful than you, yet you’re still thinking of having affairs. That’d only end up badly.”
Xerxes’ expression was bitter. “And Alex can have multiple relationships? He’s even your son-in-law!”
Gilbert said, “Bro, don’t overcomplicate things. Let me put it this way, a powerful woman like Commander Benmore will never share favonovel.com husband with other women. That goes for you and Alex. She and Alex appreciate each other as a master and disciple would.”
He stopped for a while then continued. “Alright, don’t overthink Get ready. We might have a rough battle ahead. The Rakshasa Temple isn’t easy to convince. They must have a reason for choosing to be at Fuzen Tower.”

Jade suddenly held Alex’s hand and squeezed it on the way up.
“Hmm?”
“Have you noticed that your heart jumps anxiously on this platform? Aren’t you an expert in formations? Quick, take a look if there’s something up with this platform.” Jade spoke to Alex telepathically.
Alex answered. “There is something fishy about it, but… This isn’t the core of the formation, so I can’t fully understand it yet.”
“Just be careful and act according to the situation! Ugh, I don’t understand why you, a woman, wanted to follow me. You’ll just drag me down.”
“Shut up! I’m your master, you disrespectful punk.”
“And what have you taught me?”
“I…I’ve taught you how to be a decent human.”
“Let me take a good look at you, Sis.”
“For what?”
“To see if your face or your foot is larger.”
“I… I’ll kill you, you jerk!”
Jade was so mad favonovel.com stomped favonovel.com feet and pinched Alex’s waist. She used so much force Alex cried out in pain and jumped up and down. The Rakshasa Temple man beside them was stunned, afraid that the two might be up to something.
He immediately shouted, “What are you doing? Stop now! Are you trying to get your Emperor killed?”
Jade screamed back like an insane lady. “Shut the f*ck up! We might just turn around and walk away right now, you know? We have countless more Emperors even if you kill this one, but there’s only one Martello Celia from your sect!”
“If you lose it, let me see how the Rakshasa Temple would hold its place in America.”
The man opened his mouth to speak, but nothing came out. Finally, they reached the top of the Fuzen Tower. Not only did they see Rakshasa Temple men, but they also saw the Returning Sword Sect’s people there.
“It’s Jeremy Trippier!” Jade’s eyes dimmed as favonovel.com whispered. “I didn’t expect Rakshasa Temple to team up with the Returning Sword Sect. Turns out the six ancient sects really do love you.”
Alex nodded. “They came with bad intentions!”
Jade said, “Don’t worry, I’ll protect you.”
Alex was speechless.
