The Rebirth Of A White Robe Man: I'll Follow You This Time

Chapter 316: The Ancestor And Predecessor

"Jiayi!"

The present High Priestess, a beautiful woman in her forties has let out a worried scream after finally arriving and witnessing her precious disciple coughing out blood. And after a quick glance around the entire place, landing in the destroyed Pavilion caused her murky purple to widen in anger.

"Guards! Catch the people who dared to harm the next High Priestess!" 

"Ah, Master, there is no need cough I only met some eccentric visitors and just used my power, so I'm like this right now."

"You! Take care of your body more! Do you know how precious and important you are? I told you to rest! Do you know how severely damaged your body is after what you have done before? At this rate, you will lose your life. Even your power will be greatly affected!"

"I understand Master, I'm sorry for worrying you."

Jiayi receives the handkerchief from her personal servant before gently wiping the blood on her mouth, while the present High Priestess has let out a helpless sigh.

"You have always been stubborn and headstrong just, be careful alright? If you ever need help, remember that I am still here. As my precious disciple, I will not allow anything to harm you."

"Of course Master, I will definitely ask you if I ever needed your help."

"As long as you understand."

One more time, the older woman let out a worried sigh before ordering the servants around to take her back to the courtyard. And after seeing her precious disciple escort out, she started to investigate the entire place for a clue of what really occurred.

"I'm quite curious who the person you are trying to protect"

A sharp light suddenly emerged in the older woman's murky purple eyes before letting out a sigh of disappointment when she didn't figure anything out.

"I'm really getting weak."

While the older High Priestess left in utter disappointment, Jiayi's purple eyes quickly glowed for a split second before letting out a disappointed sigh with her lip smiling in sadness.

"Master you are getting old and have also changed"

After being weakened and injured by helping that man's soul be able to easily enter their world, there has been a great change in her Master mentality.

Jiayi hated and loathed her special status, however, it also doesn't change the fact that some people have grown addicted to the power they hold after living such an honorable status.

After all, for people like them that can hardly have anything in their lives, the power, and influence from their honorable status is the only thing that they can proudly proclaim in the entire world that belongs to them.

Especially the fate of the High Priestess that has given up their honorable status would become a normal person before slowly dying after a few years, which was caused when they lose the blessing they receive.

And for Jiayi who receives a severe backlash by the Heaven Will, as long as she continues to weaken by not resting, then her Master can remain as the High Priestess for a few more years.

Especially when the idea of having the chance of losing her power seemed to have caused a sudden idea in her Master. Which is either to let her continue to be weakened, turning into a normal person, or dying after a few years before a new High Priestess is chosen.

This will lead her Master to have long years as a High Priestess.

Jiayi can only let out another disappointed sigh as she sat in her study room, at the same time, she was reminded of the consequences of her actions, as her Master's fate completely changed from the supposedly future memories.

If she wasn't severely injured from helping that man's soul enter their world, then her Master wouldn't have born a thought that she shouldn't have.

So, this is what it means to affect the fate and destiny of people 

"Oh, which one of those two guys made our Little Priestess unhappy? Honestly, it's disappointing that as a man, they don't know how to treat a pretty lady with great care and love."

When a deep voice suddenly resounded out, Jiayi didn't show a surprised expression; instead, she displayed an extremely respectful expression as she turned around to gaze at the slightly open window before showing a slight bowing motion.

"I extremely appreciate that Your Majesty has accepted my unreasonable request."

"How could I have ignored our Little Priestess invitation? This is the first time our Little Priestess has asked me for something. Although, I'm really curious about who the two young men are, especially the last one who is brave enough to harm our Little Priestess."

Suddenly, the window in the study room was fully open, before a man dressed in simple black clothing appeared with one of his hands holding his chin while the other arm was placed on the window sill.

"I'm really interested in who they are but our Little Priestess really made a thorough preparation to hide it. All I saw was a blurry figure in the distance while there wasn't even a single noise that I could hear. Well, I will respect our Little Priestess' decision, so don't worry about being forced to explain who they are."

The handsome Emperor displayed a rather attractive grin while the young woman remained silent.

"Honestly, I have been tired of always staying inside the Imperial Palace. You basically gave me a reason to take a break, so feel free to just tell me what you wanted to reveal, don't be burdened by it."

After observing the Emperor's calm and casual attitude with a bit of teasing on it, Jiayi took a deep breath before revealing a hint of what she knows, although that person would definitely be against it.

However, there is a reason why she is doing such an action that might be seen as foolish and full of trouble.

"Your Majesty, I saw  those two young men will become the future of the Chang Empire."

In every generation, there is a special circumstance that only the Emperor and High Priestess know about, and she learned about it in her future self memories, which her would-be future self only learned after the chaos for the throne is over and only understanding what it really meant after meeting the soul of that man in the Palace.

For some reason, her Master has never passed it down in that future. Fortunately, fate seemed to want to correct what went wrong, thus, leading her future self to accidentally learn such a secret in one of the countless secret rooms in the Sacred Mountain.

It's also the reason why Jiayi's future self didn't hesitate to help that man's soul from crossing over, even if her soul was destroyed, unable to reincarnate.

"Your Majesty, I learned the secret order passed down from every generation of Emperor and High Priestess"

Jiayi's purple eyes solemnly met the surprised eyes of the Emperor before continuing on with a serious expression on her face.

"Your Majesty's ancestor and my predecessor's words will be fulfilled in this generation."
