Chapter 309: An intruder
The expressions of the bald man turned strange, as he looked at the beautiful Xiao sitting on the chair there.
Xiao Rong couldn't believe her ears, wasn't the Buddhist sect said to be righteous and people who fight against the evil, the people who protect the weak, just from his eyes Xiao could see what kind of intention he had towards her, she felt disgusted and afraid, she turned her gaze towards her father who had his eyes closed in contemplation, she felt devastated when she saw her father actually considering that deal.
' To him, I am just an asset he can use when ever he wants, and for whatever purpose, he first decided to sell me to the king and now he is trying to use me to gain even more power, I wish I was just a normal girl, with normal appearance and a happy family, Jin, what should I do? Sorry mother, but I'm going to take my life so that I can escape this hell, please forgive me for leaving you alone. '
Xiao Rong thought, as her determination solidified, she checked her storage ring and saw a knife present inside it, so she decided to use it as her last resort.
" No I can't do that, the king is going to marry her soon so if he finds anything strange, I'll be the first to die by his hands, so if you have no other ways I think we can't become partners, but don't worry I am not going to tell anyone about your thoughts, you could believe me on that. "

Rong Fu said, in a resolute voice after thinking about it for a few minutes.
The patriarch just smiled and spoke:
" Haha no need to come to a decision so fast, I'm not asking for her to become my disciple just now, but she can once we have dealt with the king, in the mean time she can play her role as the gracious queen and also meet me secretly.
You could allow that much right, think properly before making any rash decision. "
The patriarch spoke while staring at Xiao who just clenched her fists, if not for the difference in their strength she would have stabbed him to death but with so many strong people around she knew the only choice she had was to die a peaceful death, with the happy memories of her beloved.

Jayden climbed onto the stairs, his emotions were becoming unstable by the second, but he controlled himself remembering Anna's words.
When he reached the first floor he saw a woman sitting on her knees there and sobbing loudly, she seemed as if everything had been taken away from her, she looked broken.
Jayden got closer to her and his doubts were confirmed, it was indeed Lao Rong, hearing the sound of his steps and seeing his feet, she looked above to see who had appeared in front of her, her face was filled with tears, and she looked very pale.
Seeing Jayden in front of her, Lao Rong's eyes widened a little for a second but then again, despair filled her eyes, there is no way Jayden or even Wang Jia would be able to help her to deal with her husband, the Buddhist sect and at last the king, she knew her presence was the thing that was forcing her daughter to give in to her father's commands, but she knew even if she decided to kill herself, Xiao would also follow behind her.
Lao Rong wanted to do anything and everything she could to protect her daughter but if nothing worked in the end, she just wanted to bring her husband to the grave along with her.
Jayden looked down at her, with an emotionless face he asked:
" Where is Xiao? "
Lao knew that Jayden wouldn't be able to help but she couldn't help but cling onto any string of hope she could see, wiping her face, she looked at him pleadingly and spoke through her sobs:
" H- He, Rong Fu sob sob took her sob sob, Xiao'er father, he t- took her away from m- me, p- please help her sob sob. "
Tears rolled down her pale cheek uncontrollably, she moved forward and held his leg, begging him.
Instead of asking her anything further, Jayden looked into her eyes, while activating his Void skill, he saw all her recent memories, from the day Rong Fu came back from the castle after which he announced the news of Xiao Rong's marriage to the king, then him coming to the trial, then searching for Xiao Rong and coming to this house, after that, he forced Xiao to follow him silently, otherwise, saying that he would make Lao Rong go through something that's much worse than nightmare, before finally killing her.
And he had also threatened Lao Rong to not kill herself otherwise, he would turn Xiao Rong's life into hell, and after that he took Xiao Rong away.
Jayden's emotions were going out of control again, he wouldn't think twice about helping any woman going through such a thing, but right now it was none other than his Xiao, he clearly saw the look of despair on her face when Rong Fu took her away in Lao's memories.
He gently pulled Lao Rong up, away from his legs and spoke:
" Wait here. "
When Lao Rong felt the aura surrounding Jayden, she looked at him in shock, it was the same aura that she had once felt before, it was suffocating but the aura seemed to have gotten a lot stronger now.
Jayden was trying his best not to let his rage out, moving his gaze away from Lao Rong he slowly walked towards the window, just after taking a couple of steps he disappeared from Lao Rong's view, she stood there, putting all her hopes on him, and praying that he could save her daughter.
Jayden stood above the house, as he looked in the direction of the Buddhist sect, from Lao Rong's memories Jayden knew just where he needed to go.
" Anna, count them all. "
Jayden said and disappeared from his position. Anna observed everything with a solemn gaze, she knew what he wanted her to do, maybe it was a way for Jayden to keep himself from losing control.

Outside the Buddhist sect's gate, over five people stood as guards, they were all still talking about the arrival of Rong Fu and his beautiful daughter.
" Haa, for some reason I don't want to see my wife's face today, how could God be so unfair, can't he have made my wife a little more like Xiao R- "
just as they were chatting among themselves, their attention was pulled away by a figure in a purple robe that suddenly appeared in out of nowhere, at first they were all surprised to see such a handsome man in front of them, but composing themselves, one of them spoke:
" What purpose do you have to approach the Buddhist sect? "
Jayden just stood there silently, watching the place behind them, he scanned the entire sect and found Xiao Rong in one of the rooms.
