Ever since the beginning of Surong's contract with him, Qin Yu's familiar had long been calling him Master.

The members of the Qin sect couldn't help but suck in cold breaths at Surong's statement. The end of the sect master's service to the goddess hadn't registered to them until now.

The contract separation with his summoned familiar was a way for Surong not to be affected by the heavens' verdict.

Qin Yu gave a weak smile. "It is time for you to be freed."

"This is unacceptable! Where should I go? This freedom is not freedom at all when I will only think back to you who will suffer on your own!"

"That's not true. You can go anywhere under the heavens, no need to worry about me." Qin Yu was still adamant.

He couldn't let Surong stay with him because they didn't deserve to be stuck with a selfish master. She never knew his plan was to die and leave her forever. But because of a certain soul, he was saved from the Perpetual Void.

If Surong and the sect members knew, they would probably be disgusted with him who would choose eternal death rather than serving the goddess forever.

"Qinzhu, I want to follow you!" Surong pleaded.

> - zhǔ - owner/master/lord
I want to create the same feel as the Japanese oyakata-sama hehe<

Some of the sect members hesitated but started to express their desires.

The courtyard was soon filled with, "Qinzhu, let us follow you!"

"Don't speak nonsense!" Qin Yu's anger was so sudden that the noise stopped.

He sighed. "Do you know what staying with me actually means?"

Surong was the one to answer. "We will be banished from Wu Yun peak with you."

>烏雲 - wū yún - black cloud<

"Yes, that's why don't speak of this anymore. Your master can't allow that to happen."

Qin Yu honestly begged them. There was no point in sharing his burden. He did this to himself, why did they have to go with him? He pleaded Cai Xie to spare them just to make sure his actions wouldn't affect them.

And now, some of them wanted their cultivation to drop too just because he was the same? He didn't know whether to admire them or call them foolish.

"Go back to your posts now." He persuaded.

But Surong went ahead and did the usual ritual when they communicated with Cai Xie, kowtowing to the sky.

"This one prays to the goddess. Let us stay with Qinzhu!"

This wouldn't be effective if she was alone. Only Qin Yu was able to communicate with Cai Xie on his own. Surong needed her martial brothers and sisters' help.

"Stop!" Qin Yu wanted to shout but he was assailed with dizziness from losing too much spiritual energy.

For the first time, he was powerless against the tens of Qin sect members who were praying to be with him in his punishment.

Only now did he understand what Cai Xie meant when she said sparing Wu Yun peak was pointless. Qin Yu's heart seemed to be filled with a bittersweet taste.

"Alright, those who want to follow me...I will let you. But Surong, your contract with me will still end."

Surong wanted to complain but was stopped by the orb of light rising from Qin Yu's palm. It flew to her and entered her dantian.
