Of course, Qin Shi only said this in his heart. He didn't show it to Yuyue, but there was a fire burning in his heart that was slowly rising.
It wasn't that he cared about the position of seclusion disciple in the Sword Sect. In his opinion, he wouldn't take over the Sword Sect. The Sword Sect was one of the overlords of the Human World, one of the eight great regions. However, it wasn't the faction he liked the most. He hoped that one day, the Qin Sect would be able to walk out of Scarlet Flame, walk out of the Hundred Tides, and stand on this continent. That was the place he had poured his heart and soul into.
The reason why he was like this was because Fang Qing had saved him before. He hoped that he could rely on his meager strength to stabilize Fang Qing's position as the Sword Sect's leader.
In addition, he had suffered a few setbacks in a row, especially when Yao Ming forced him into a dead end, causing the hatred in his heart to grow. He had endured enough, and he wanted to release himself.
"It's best if that blind person doesn't appear tonight."
Qin Shi thought to himself. Then, he clenched his fists tightly. In this cruel world where the strong preyed on the weak, he had never realized the importance of strength before. Here, if you had strength, you were the heavens, you were the law. If you were weak, no one would care about you. In fact, he understood that Fang Qing had acted in the end because he had become the champion of the Deity Realm Festival. Otherwise, he would have been killed a hundred times by Shi Feng and the other two before Yao Ming appeared.
"I have to become stronger. I'm still far from that."
He couldn't help but shake his head in self-mockery. However, he understood the logic of haste not being able to fly. To be honest, he had made many breakthroughs in the Deity Realm Festival. He wasn't a greedy person, and he knew when to be content. Now, his first priority was to stabilize his foundation, especially since he was in a subtle realm. He was in the Double Nines Realm, and he was about to face two Nightmare Realms. If he didn't control himself well, he might get lost.
After Jian Qing retreated, Fang Qing's jade-like face relaxed a little. She turned around and sat on the sword-shaped throne in the center of the hall. The throne was very magnificent, and a huge, dazzling golden sword was erected behind it, which highlighted her graceful figure.
Her beautiful eyes burned with anxiety as she pondered deeply for a short moment before her gaze met Qin Shi and the others. In the end, it descended onto Haoyue who hadn't spoken since they entered the Sword Sect.
Feeling that burning gaze, Haoyue trembled violently and hurriedly lowered her head. "Sect Master …!
Back then, it was all because of me that Junior Brother Liuyun lost his life. Please punish me. "
When Liu Yun was mentioned, Fang Qing seemed to be slightly dejected. However, after a moment, he let out a long sigh. "Thirty years have passed. Since you've returned to the sect with me this time, then develop well in the Sword Sect in the future. Even though your qualifications aren't as outstanding as Liu Yun's, it's fortunate that you're willing to suffer and work hard. You'll slowly make up for your mistakes in the future."
Hearing this, Haoyue's eyes twitched a few times. For a moment, he didn't know what to do. To be honest, he hoped that Fang Qing would punish him. That way, he would feel a lot more at ease.
"What, do you still have any objections?" Fang Qing frowned.
Haoyue was shocked and quickly said, "No, this disciple will definitely be loyal to the Sword Sect!"
"En."
Fang Qing nodded with satisfaction. At this time, Haoyue hesitated for a moment before suddenly stretching out her palm. The Severing Emotion Sword stood upright and said, "Sect Master, this Severing Emotion Sword is the relic of Junior Brother Liuyun. I've been carrying it with me for thirty years. Now it's time to return it to its rightful owner."
"Severing Emotion Sword …!" Fang Qing grabbed the Severing Emotion Sword in his hand and stared at the lines on it in a daze.
When the Severing Emotion Sword was taken away, the boulder in Haoyue's heart was finally put down. However, it was not difficult to see the attachment and reluctance in his eyes. Although he didn't care about the power of the Severing Emotion Sword, but after accompanying it for thirty years, he would more or less have some feelings for it.
Suddenly, a flash appeared in front of him and the Severing Emotion Sword floated back in front of him. He couldn't help but be startled and asked, "Sect Master, this is …!"
"Take it, this is Liuyun's own choice."
Fang Qing smiled and said, "I hope that you can rely on him to defend the dignity of my Sword Sect."
"This …!"
This was something that Haoyue had never expected. Staring at his dumbfounded appearance, Qin Shi quickly gave him a push and said, "What are you doing in a daze, quickly thank Sect Master!
That is one of the eighteen treasured swords that protect the Sect. If you miss this opportunity, you won't get another one. "
Haoyue suddenly came back to his senses. Immediately unable to control the joy on his face, he quickly shouted, "Many thanks, Sect Master!
This disciple will not disappoint Sect Master. "
"Okay."
Fang Qing waved her hand. Soon after, she viciously glared at Qin Shi. Her eyes were filled with love. This little brat. It was one thing for him to swindle others, but he still did not forget to bring his brother along.
However, Fang Qing did not say anything. A tiredness flashed across her pretty eyes. After a couple of exchanges with Yao Ming, even she, who possessed an extraordinary World State cultivation, still felt exhausted.
She said to Yu Yue, "Yu Yue, I'll leave the two of them to you. Arrange a place for them to stay and rest. Don't delay the ceremony tonight."
"Yes."
Yu Yue hurriedly agreed. He did not dare to be like Qin Shi. He immediately gave a look to the Qin Shi duo and said, "Follow me."
However, after hearing Yu Yue's strange words, Qin Shi felt that he was a lamb that was about to fall into a wolf's den.
However, he still acknowledged Yu Yue from the bottom of his heart, especially when Yu Yue had said a few words to him during the Deity Realm Ceremony.
It was very warm.
The three of them left together, leaving only Fang Qing and Feng Sha in the hall. Only then did Fang Qing's face slightly relax. Soon after, she furrowed her brows and blood surged out of her chest, flowing out from the corner of her mouth.
"Qing 'er!"
Feng Sha went forward to support Fang Qing and grabbed her wrist with his withered hand. After looking into her body, his eyes widened and he exclaimed, "Why are you so heavily injured?
Who caused this? "
"Yao Ming."
"Yao Ming?"
Killing intent flashed in Feng Sha's muddy eyes, but before he could say anything else, Fang Qing forcefully said, "Uncle Feng Sha, I'm fine. Don't overthink it, but I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you tonight."
"You're talking about those three old fellows?" Feng Sha frowned.
Fang Qing helplessly let out a long sigh. "Yes, Jian Qing is right. Given the three old fellows' characters, they will definitely not allow Qin Shi to successfully become a secluded disciple tonight. The three of them will probably make preparations after the news spreads."
"You know this and you're heavily injured, why do you insist on putting on a brave front?"
Feng Sha was slightly displeased. The relationship between him and Fang Qing was not as simple as the relationship between an elder and a sect master. He had watched Fang Qing grow to where she was today, and she was more like a respected elder.
Fang Qing shook her head. "No, it must be tonight … Back then, Master left a letter and then left alone. It's been three thousand years. Uncle Feng Sha, you don't know this, but I've been waiting for three thousand years. Now that he's finally here, I can't let Master's efforts go to waste."
Hearing this, Feng Sha focused slightly and could not help but let out a long sigh.
"Alright, I understand. I'll make an appearance tonight."
"Thank you, Martial Uncle."
On the other side … Yu Yue and the other two.
After leaving the hall, Qin Shi felt as if Yu Yue had seen through him. That fellow kept staring at him with a lecherous gaze, which made him very uncomfortable. "I say, Senior Brother Yu Yue, don't tell me you like men?
If there's anything, just say it. I'll promise you, alright?
Don't be like this. "
Hearing this, Yu Yue's eyes lit up. "Remember what you said."
"Yes, yes, yes." Qin Shi was really helpless as he held the weapon.
"Alright, I'm satisfied with your words. However, I have nothing to ask of you now. Once you successfully become a closed door disciple, don't forget about me."
Yu Yue laughed mischievously. Then, no one knew what she was thinking about. She just stood there and let out a hearty laugh.
"This lunatic …" Qin Shi widened his eyes and was instantly speechless. He even began to wonder if he should have promised him.
"Come, this is your residence."
In the beginning, Yu Yue had brought Qin Shi and Lu Sheng through the Sword Sect for more than an hour. However, just as Qin Shi made a promise to Yu Yue, a row of disciples' dormitories came into view after turning around an alley. This caused the corners of Qin Shi's mouth to twitch a few times. He seriously suspected that Yu Yue had purposely brought him around blindly in the beginning.
"You didn't do it on purpose, did you?" Qin Shi suppressed the resentment in his heart and shouted.
Yu Yue shrugged and pretended to be innocent. However, in Qin Shi's eyes, it was a vile person intoxicated by success. This made Qin Shi even more certain of his thoughts. He almost couldn't help but curse.
"Damn!"
"Alright, stop complaining. Take advantage of the fact that it's still early to rest. I'm afraid you'll have a lot of trouble at night."
Yu Yue pushed Qin Shi, then turned around and slipped away. "Hurry up and rest, my cute little junior brother. Don't worry about being late. I'll call you at night."
Along the way, this last sentence was the only thing that could be considered warm. Qin Shi helplessly shook his head, then told Haoyue what to do and entered his dormitory.
He didn't know if it was because all the disciples' dormitories were the same, or if it was because his was different from others, but as soon as he entered the dormitory, Qin Shi felt a dense spiritual pressure. This dormitory that seemed to be only a few dozen square meters was actually equipped with a Spirit Gathering Formation that could gather spiritual force by fifty times. Moreover, under the dormitory's cabinet, there was a hidden compartment that was surrounded by a powerful barrier. At the center of the compartment was a golden praying mat. On the praying mat, there were many cultivation attribute stones that were arranged according to the human body's acupoints.
A praying mat like this was not something that could be found in ordinary places. It could be said to be the best assistant for cultivation. He couldn't help but take a few steps forward and use his large hand to gently stroke the praying mat.
"How thorough."
