Near evening, a man was sitting on the hillside looking at the sky.
Qin Xi leaned against the door of the dilapidated house and watched the man looking at the sky.
The weather today was very good. The sky was clear and blue, with light clouds and a gentle breeze. If it was in the secular world, it would be a day for scholars to go for an outing.
But cultivators rarely had this kind of interest. Whether it was sunny or thunderous, it was the same in their eyes.
Therefore, he knew this man's attention wasn't on the scenery.
But after watching for a long time, he sighed because he felt he might have accepted a big trouble.
A cultivator with too many emotions … He didn't think she had any future, but since he already agreed, he couldn't go back on his word.
In fact, Ye Jiang was right. He really thought highly of this child and thought she had the potential to become a high level cultivator even though her aptitude wasn't good.
For example, she could endure loneliness and wasn't afraid of hard cultivation; she wasn't greedy but had the heart to improve; she was smart and good at using tricks; moreover, she didn't hesitate when she needed to be ruthless and could make quick decisions.
If a cultivator had these qualities, they only lacked fated chances.
But he actually found out she was addicted to emotions!
Cultivation wasn't just about advancing one's cultivation level; one's heart had to be strong enough to grasp power.
A cultivator who was addicted to emotions would have a hard time achieving great things.
So he was a bit distressed now.
How should he deal with this person?
He felt it was a pity to indulge her, but he wasn't in the mood to teach her.
"Junior Martial Brother Ye."
Mo Tiange tilted her head and saw Qin Xi walking towards her.
"Senior Martial Brother Qin, what's the matter?" Her voice was very calm, so calm that Qin Xi was surprised.
He looked at her carefully and didn't see any abnormalities, so he said, "We should go."
Mo Tiange nodded, stood up, and dusted off her sleeves.
Qin Xi didn't move but asked again, "Are you really okay?"
Mo Tiange turned to look at the sunset and smiled slightly. "I'm fine."
She didn't look like she was sad. Qin Xi thought about it. Except for that day, she really hadn't cried again, so she probably wasn't forcing herself.
He said, "Do you have anything else to prepare?"
Mo Tiange was silent for a while. She seemed to be thinking about a lot of things, but in the end, she just sighed softly and said, "It's nothing. I don't need them. Just leave them."
This sentence seemed to have some hidden meaning.
Qin Xi suddenly felt that his worries just now were a bit unnecessary. This woman was more rational than he imagined.
He couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure you can let it go?"
Mo Tiange smiled. This time, her smile wasn't forced at all.
After laughing, she said softly, "Second Uncle said that losing is to grow up.
Similarly, I feel that experience is to make oneself stronger. "
Experience is for the sake of becoming stronger … Qin Xi muttered this sentence in his heart. He felt he didn't need to say anything else.
Mo Tiange indeed felt very calm.
Thirteen years ago, she was still a child. She could walk out of the sorrow of losing her mother, and she would not be defeated now.
Second Uncle had always told her that she had to have a strong heart in order to achieve her lofty goals. Now that Second Uncle had left, how could she disappoint him?
She calmly told herself that she had to live well and cultivate well, not for Second Uncle, but for herself.
Although she had no intention of embarking on the path of cultivation in the beginning, cultivation was still something that made her feel happy.
Learning a spell, making a realm-breakthrough, becoming stronger, defeating enemies, all of these things made her feel happy.
In that case, she'd just keep walking like this.
She'd do what she liked and resolutely walk down this path.
She followed Qin Xi and stepped onto the flying sword. The two of them rode the wind on their swords and set foot on the road.
This flying sword was another magic weapon. Mo Tiange no longer felt jealous or envious. Since this Senior Martial Brother Qin had a great background, it was normal for him to have a lot of treasures.
However, after flying for a while, Mo Tiange felt a bit strange. "Senior Martial Brother Qin, why are we going east?" East was the way back to Mount Yunwu.
Qin Xi glanced at her, but he was still riding the flying sword. He answered, "There are some things I need to deal with."
"Oh …" Maybe he still has some unfinished business.
As Mo Tiange thought about this, she was a bit worried.
That day, when more than a dozen Foundation Building cultivators retreated, Qin Xi spoke vaguely, so she didn't know the inside story. However, even if he could make more than a dozen Foundation Building cultivators retreat, could he do the same to Core Formation cultivators from Mount Yunwu?
She clearly understood that she'd thoroughly offended Branch Master Jiang. Jiang Chengxian wasn't only his direct descendant, but he was also his only bloodline. It was tantamount to her cutting off his bloodline.
Besides, Yunwu Sect now belonged to Zixia Sect, and Zixia Sect still had a Nascent Soul cultivator!
Even if this Senior Martial Brother Qin had an elder backing him, it was still too far away.
Just as her mind was filled with worries, she suddenly heard Qin Xi say, "Junior Martial Brother Ye, what are you worried about?"
Mo Tiange regained her train of thought and answered honestly, "I'm worried I'll be intercepted when I go back."
Even though he was now in the Foundation Building realm, he was still like an ant in front of Core Formation cultivators. She only needed to be worried about the elder behind him, so she only needed to restrain him … She still felt her life wasn't guaranteed.
Qin Xi just smiled. "I won't. You can rest assured."
"Senior Martial Brother Qin, you're already in the Foundation Building realm now, so it seems I shouldn't call you that anymore." According to convention, she should've called him martial uncle after she made a realm-breakthrough.
Qin Xi shook his head and said, "I just entered Closed Door Meditation one step ahead of you. You're already well-equipped now, so building your foundation is only a matter of time. There's no need to be so troublesome."
Nevertheless, Mo Tiange didn't have the same confidence as him. She said with disappointment and frustration, "My second uncle was able to build his foundation because my father used medicinal pills to help him.
Second uncle said he used no less than five Foundation-Building Pills to build his foundation. My aptitude isn't as good as second uncle's, so building my foundation … I'm afraid it won't be something that can be done in one or two years. "
In fact, she was already prepared to spend ten to twenty years. If she still couldn't build her foundation, she would continue to fight for Foundation-Building Pills until she succeeded.
"Rest assured. When you arrive at Xuanqing School, you'll naturally have the guidance of the school's elders. Building your foundation isn't that difficult.
Besides, we've been in the same school for three years, so we've already gotten used to calling each other that. There's no need to change it. "
Since he said that, Mo Tiange felt too embarrassed to refuse, so she didn't say anything more.
However …
She said with some hesitation, "Senior Martial Brother Qin, actually … Ye Xiaotian isn't my real name."
Qin Xi smiled and said, "I know. You took your mother's surname, Mo, and your name is Tiange.
Now, you don't need to hide your name anymore. When you arrive at Xuanqing School, you can use your original name again.
But I'm already used to calling you that, so I don't want to change it. "
Qin Xi always kept his distance from other people and rarely showed such a casual and lively side. Mo Tiange couldn't help but smile. "Then I'll follow Senior Martial Brother Qin's wishes."
At this time, the master of Mount Yunwu, whom Mo Tiange was worried about, wasn't in Mount Yunwu.
The stone door of the Immortal's Cave opened, and a young girl with a Foundation Building cultivation level came out. She bowed to Branch Master Jiang, who was waiting on the side, and said, "Grandmaster invites Branch Master Jiang in."
Branch Master Jiang, who was waiting impatiently, was overjoyed when he heard what she said. He politely bowed to the girl then followed her into the Immortal's Cave.
A skinny Daoist was sitting on a praying mat in the center of the Immortal's Cave. When Branch Master Jiang saw this person, he immediately bowed and saluted him. "Greetings, Grand Supreme Elder."
After a long time, the Daoist finally uttered an "en" and opened his eyes. "Sit."
Branch Master Jiang respectfully saluted him then sat down.
"Speak. What's the matter?"
This Daoist's attitude was somewhat indifferent, but Branch Master Jiang didn't dare to show the slightest bit of disrespect because this seemingly unremarkable Daoist was actually a Nascent Soul cultivator!
"Grand Supreme Elder, it's about that previous matter. Disciple wants to ask you to make a decision."
After Branch Master Jiang finished speaking, he stared anxiously at the Daoist in front of him, but the Daoist didn't even spare him a glance.
The Daoist took the spiritual tea a serving disciple offered him and slowly sipped it for a while before he said, "Make a decision?
How do you want me to make a decision?
Avenge your good-for-nothing great-grandson?
You might as well be reborn! "
Although this Daoist looked amiable, his words were harsh, making Branch Master Jiang's face turn red.
He naturally knew his great-grandson was good-for-nothing, but no matter how good-for-nothing he was, he was still his bloodline!
"Grand Supreme Elder," Branch Master Jiang said humbly, "Disciple doesn't ask you to take action. I only ask you to allow me to take revenge.
Disciple only has this one great-grandson. Even if he did a thousand things wrong, it's still my family's business. How can I let an outsider kill him?! "
Unfortunately, his words didn't move the Daoist. The Grand Supreme Elder only snorted softly. "It seems you're still not clear-headed.
For us cultivators, what's the big deal about the death of a descendant?
This kind of descendant who only knows how to stir up trouble and doesn't have the slightest ability should just die!
Go back. Don't mention this matter again in the future. "
"Grand Supreme Elder!"
Seeing that Branch Master Jiang didn't listen, the Daoist's eyes revealed a fierce look. "What? Are you complaining that I didn't help you?"
Branch Master Jiang promptly lowered his head but didn't refute.
The Daoist snorted and said, "Fine, I'll explain it to you clearly.
This Qin Shoujing you mentioned isn't an ordinary Core Formation cultivator. He has a Nascent Soul elder behind him. "
Upon hearing those words, Branch Master Jiang was shocked. "Supreme Elder, this person actually has such a background?"
The Daoist snorted. "Otherwise, why do you think he dared to act presumptuously in east Kunwu, which is thousands of miles away?
Let me tell you — behind Qin Shoujing is that old guy, Qin Jinghe.
You don't understand Qin Jinghe, but I do. He's extremely protective of his people and very bloodthirsty.
Usually, he won't attack casually because of Xuanqing School's rules, but if you hurt his people, it's not impossible for him to come from thousands of miles away and start a massacre!
I'm only in the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm. I can't defeat him, so you'd better save your worries. "
"Grand Supreme Elder, aren't Nascent Soul cultivators not allowed to kill indiscriminately?"
"That's because your knowledge is shallow."
The Daoist closed his eyes and said slowly, "Nascent Soul cultivators don't kill indiscriminately because they want to avoid Inner Demons appearing and stagnating in their cultivation. But if they have a reason, they can certainly attack."
Branch Master Jiang lowered his head in silence. That being the case, he actually couldn't do anything to that little Aura Refining disciple!
The Daoist went on to say, "Also, you'd better go back and investigate what Qin Shoujing is doing in your Mount Yunwu.
Xuanqing School is one of the biggest cultivation groups in the Celestial Pole. They have everything they want, but they just had to sneak into a small cultivation group and even stayed for three years. I'm afraid they're plotting something big … "
