This time, Xu Qingfeng could be considered to have completely offended Zhang Hun's group. Not long after Zhang Hun left, he felt no less than 100 burning gazes from all over his body.
Instantly, he couldn't help but laugh bitterly. "Haha! I've really gone too far this time."
"Qingfeng, have you gone mad?"
His good friends by his side revealed strange expressions, and one of them said, "He just defeated you earlier, yet you're still offending others for him?"
"Moreover, it's fine if you offended others, but do you know who you offended?
That's the Supreme Elder whose status in the Sword Sect is comparable to the Sect Master! "
However, when he heard this, Xu Qingfeng smiled lightheartedly and said, "I know. I just did something that I felt was right …. I really admire him."
"You …!"
His good friends shook their heads helplessly, and then they glared at Xu Qingfeng with resentment. "Forget it. If you want to go mad, then go ahead. We won't be accompanying you. If the Supreme Elder finds out about our relationship with you, then he'll definitely not let us off."
"Right, right, right!
Let's quickly stay away from him! "
Instantly, with Xu Qingfeng at the center, all the disciples in an area of 100m retreated with a bang. All of them looked at Xu Qingfeng as if he was a god of plague, and their gazes were filled with disdain.
Xu Qingfeng couldn't help but laugh bitterly. "Haha! How utilitarian."
Never had he expected that his good friends of the past would actually abandon him so decisively when he was at his lowest. However, since he'd already made his choice, then he didn't regret it. Moreover, what was the point of regretting it?
Presently, he only hoped that his actions would really be able to help Qin Shi. He hoped that it wouldn't be like what Zhang Hun had said and not be able to stabilize the sect he'd established.
However, right when he was about to turn around dejectedly, a figure suddenly descended from high up in the sky, and it seemed to be extremely dazzling in the empty space, causing many disciples to be stunned.
"Eh, who's that?"
"He … he seems to be slightly familiar …."
"Oh, right. I remember now. He's that disciple that had a good relationship with Senior Brother Liu Yun. What's his name again? Haoyue. Right, it's Haoyue!"
"Haoyue?
Didn't he disappear for over 30 years?
Why did you suddenly appear here? "
"Who knows!"
"What is he trying to do?" Many disciples stared at the figure curiously. "Could it be that the Supreme Elder sent him here?
He has been hiding in the dark all these years, working for Grand Elder? "
"That's not impossible."
"It can't be. It's just the beginning, and Supreme Elder is already targeting Xu Qingfeng?"
"Hmph, he asked for it. Instead of enjoying a good life, he insisted on making trouble for himself. This is going to be fun." A group of disciples began to gloat.
Even Xu Qingfeng himself was stunned. They did not know Haoyue's identity. After all, Jian Qing had been at the back of the platform from the beginning to the end.
"What, what do you want to do?" Xu Qingfeng cautiously took a step back.
Haoyue was stunned, and then she couldn't help but mock him. "Haha, kid, where did your arrogance go?
Alright, I don't know if you've heard of this saying, but people won't always be unlucky. When God closes a door for you, he will definitely open a window for you. Let's go. Someone wants to see you. "
"Hmm?" Xu Qingfeng hesitated for a moment.
However, suddenly, a familiar gaze looked at him from the sky, causing him to turn his head. He saw Qin Shi smiling and nodding at him.
"It's, it's him?"
Xu Qingfeng's eyes were filled with shock. Haoyue lost her patience and pouted. "Alright, let's not waste any more time. Come up with me."
After saying that, she grabbed Xu Qingfeng and leaped up to the main hall.
Looking at Xu Qingfeng, Qin Shi smiled and patted him gratefully. To be honest, if Xu Qingfeng had not stepped forward bravely in the end, he would not have been able to sit in his current position. "I've already seen what happened earlier. However, don't take it to heart. If they really treat you as a brother, they will definitely not abandon you under any circumstances."
"Without them, you'll still have me in the future. I, Qin Shi, am your brother."
Qin Shi's words were very casual, yet it caused everyone present to be astounded.
The faces of all Xu Qingfeng's good friends instantly flushed red, and they lowered their heads in shame. However, they were filled with self-blame. Becoming brothers with a disciple that was in closed door cultivation meant that Xu Qingfeng's status in the Sword Sect would definitely not be low in the future.
"What exactly did I do …?" The group of disciples became dispirited and listless.
Xu Qingfeng himself was shocked as well. He didn't dare believe that Qin Shi would actually address him as brother, and he gulped down a mouthful of saliva. "Are … are you telling the truth?"
Qin Shi smiled. "Of course. I always do what I say. If there's any obstacle, then we'll trample it together."
"Yes!"
Xu Qingfeng couldn't control his emotions and nodded forcefully. It was just as Haoyue had said, God was fair.
Fang Qing was still nearby, and she saw everything that had happened. She nodded lightly with a gratified expression. "This kid really knows how to win people's hearts. I'm afraid that after this incident, many disciples in the Sword Sect will throw olive branches at him."
"Yes, if he really grows up one day, then he'll definitely be an extraordinary fellow that will shock the world." Feng Sha laughed madly.
Fang Qing didn't care about this at all. This was already determined from Qin Shi's previous performances. She took a deep breath. Now that Zhang Hun's faction had completely faded, it was time to announce the results.
She looked down at everyone solemnly. "Then, let us cheer for Qin Shi and congratulate him for officially becoming a disciple of the Sword Sect!"
"Yes!"
This time, there was unexpectedly no more noise.
To be honest, when he heard the deafening cheers and the millions of disciples kneeling down below, Qin Shi's heart couldn't help but surge. He might not be able to see this kind of scene a second time in his life.
Feeling the boundless light, Qin Shi couldn't help but feel grateful. He was grateful that he hadn't given up all these years. Everything he had done had finally paid off.
He had finally stabilized his position at the peak of the human world, one of the Eight Regions. However, it was also because of this that his eyes flashed with a cold light.
"Next, I'm afraid that fate is really going to start."
For some unknown reason, he had a feeling that from today onwards, his fate would no longer be able to remain calm, and that a true predestined catastrophe was constantly approaching him.
"Come!"
He clenched his fists. Under that pressure, he didn't show the slightest bit of fear. Instead, his eyes flashed with a bit of coldness.
"Chaos Realm, Bi Group!
Our grievances will come to an end sooner or later! "
At the end of the ceremony, the millions of disciples retreated like the tide. In the end, only Xingxing and the others were left in the main hall. Feng Sha gave Qin Shi a thumbs up. "Good job, little guy. You didn't let me down!"
Qin Shi shrugged his shoulders. "Heh heh, then Senior, when do you think you can fulfill the unspeakable secrets between us?"
"Err …" Many disciples blushed when they heard this, and even Feng Sha coughed dryly a few times and almost choked on his saliva. "Stinking brat, what secret are you talking about? Isn't it just 10,000,000 Sword Sect Points?
A piece of jade was thrown from Feng Sha's hand to Qin Shi.
Qin Shi caught the jade, and his eyes flashed with joy. The ten million points were so obvious that he couldn't help but feel excited.
But immediately, he put away the jade and curled his lips at Feng Sha. "Senior, why do I feel like something is missing?"
Feng Sha glared at Qin Shi. "You brat, you don't have to remind me. I remember what I promised you. You are now a disciple of the Sword Sect in seclusion. In seven days, you will have a chance to enter the Sword Pavilion to comprehend the Sword Dao. At that time, I will personally guide you."
"Hiss …!"
Hearing this, the surrounding people became envious. Even the Sword Sect's Grand Elder, Jian Qing, was the same. This order made Qin Shi a bit confused.
"What Sword Pavilion?"
"You don't know about the Sword Pavilion?"
Feather Moon rolled her eyes at Qin Shi in disdain and explained, "That's the most sacred place in the Sword Sect. There are over three thousand martial arts and sword techniques of the Sword Sect, and there are many Creation-level sword techniques in there. Even Elder Jian Qing can only enter once a year."
"So powerful?"
Qin Shi clicked his tongue. This was out of his expectations.
Everyone nodded in unison. Fang Qing smiled at him and said, "You should be content with what you have. Whatever sword techniques you can comprehend in the Sword Pavilion will be of great use to you. Uncle Feng should be the one who understands the Sword Pavilion the most in the Sword Sect. Even I can't compare to his guidance. Moreover, he has never guided anyone. Back then, when I was in closed-door cultivation, he didn't even guide me."
Fang Qing glanced at Feng Sha with hidden bitterness.
Feng Sha coughed awkwardly. "This … Wasn't Qi Qing there? If there is someone who understands the Sword Pavilion the best, it must be her."
"Hmph, you didn't guide me anyway."
Fang Qing grunted angrily like a child, causing Feng Sha to instantly feel helpless. He hurriedly found an opportunity to change the topic and said to Qin Shi, "However, even though you've completed the conferment, Zhang Hun won't let you go. You have to be careful in the Sword Sect in the future."
"Zhang Hun himself probably won't come forward to make things difficult for you. After all, he has the status of a Grand Elder. If he comes forward, Qing 'er will have a reason to abolish his position as an Elder. Right now, he is at the crucial moment of grasping the World Realm, so he definitely won't do such an impulsive thing. However … the few disciples under him will probably not be so easy to deal with."
"If it's just Gu, there's nothing to be afraid of. The main problem is that Su Wen. Qing 'er and I have witnessed his treachery and cunning when we first entered the Sword Sect. This is also the reason why Qing' er has been unwilling to let him be a seclusion disciple all these years. This time, you have taken his position. He will definitely take revenge at all costs."
However, when Qin Shi heard this, his black eyes became very cold.
