In an instant, the entire place fell dead silent.
Everyone's eyes, including Zhao Yuan's, were filled with shock and fear.
"Wha, what?
He, he's Qin Shi? "
One of the female disciples suddenly let out a delicate cry. Then, with a glance, she actually fainted.
"Heavens, what did I just do?"
"He, he's actually Qin Shi?
How, how could this be? "
The group of female disciples all had looks of despair on their faces. Just a moment ago, they were still thinking of seducing Qin Shi, but now it seemed like they definitely wouldn't have the chance.
For a moment, they all glared at Zhao Yuan. This time, no one was willing to help her. Instead, they all viewed her as their mortal enemy.
"How, how could this be?"
This sudden change made Zhao Yuan feel as if she had instantly fallen from heaven to hell. She was stunned out of her wits and continuously staggered back a few steps.
"He's actually Qin Shi?"
Chi Quyan narrowed his eyes. In an instant, he understood why his Sacred Sword of the Sect Rules had no effect on Qin Shi. If there was really a disciple in the Sword Sect who could escape the punishment of the Sacred Sword of the Sect Rules, it was most likely a disciple who was in seclusion.
At this moment, the corners of his mouth involuntarily twitched a few times when he recalled what had happened. Saying that a disciple in seclusion was an outsider was probably the biggest joke in the world.
After glaring at Zhao Yuan, Chi Quyan, and the other two disciples, Long Tingyan hurriedly cupped his fists towards Qin Shi and said politely, "Brother Qin, Zhao Yuan and my brothers have offended you just now. I hope that you can be magnanimous and forgive us. Please give me some face and stop arguing with them."
He had witnessed Qin Shi's strength. Just the methods he had used to toy with and kill Mu Yu were earth-shattering. He was extremely clear about the consequences of becoming enemies with such a fellow.
Qin Shi didn't take this matter to heart. He just didn't want to stir up trouble. Since this Long Tingyan was reasonable, he didn't want to pursue this matter any further.
However, even if he didn't pursue the matter, it didn't mean that others wouldn't. Before Qin Shi could reply, Haoyue stepped forward and sneered, "Haha, Long Tingyan, your words are quite interesting. Give you face?
Then let me ask you, just now, did that Zhao Yuan and your three brothers give us any face?
Moreover, you asked us not to pursue this matter. Then let me ask you, what about the slaps my brother's wife received?
What about my brother's injuries? "
Haoyue pointed at Yu Yue!
The wound on Yu Yue's chest was still very frightening. Long Tingyan was slightly stunned when he saw this scene. He originally thought that Zhao Yuan was just being unreasonable, but he didn't expect that she would actually injure someone?
Most importantly, he was a deacon of their Law Enforcement Department.
Thinking of this, he fiercely glared at Zhao Yuan, "I'll settle this with you later!"
Immediately, he forced a smile and said to Haoyue, "Then this brother, what do you think we should do about this matter?"
Haoyue's mouth twitched. He only felt discontent for Yu Yue, but it was up to Yu Yue to decide what to do. He looked at Yu Yue, "What do you think we should do about this matter?
Don't worry, Shi Tou will support you! "
Qin Shi's forehead was full of black lines. Haoyue was the standard example of a fox exploiting the tiger's might.
Yu Yue wasn't the kind of person who wouldn't forgive others. Moreover, Long Tingyan was his immediate superior, so when Long Tingyan apologized, he didn't want to pursue this matter anymore. However, when he saw the five bloody marks on Qinger's face, he couldn't help but feel angry.
"Make him apologize to Qinger!" Yu Yue coldly said.
"What?
Just apologize? "
Haoyue was shocked, "How can this be? If it was up to me, I would at least slap those slaps back!"
"Enough, don't meddle here."
Qin Shi pulled Haoyue back and helplessly shook his head, "Let's do it this way. Let him apologize to Qinger, then we won't pursue this matter. What do you say, Long Tingyan?"
Hearing this request, Long Tingyan's worried heart immediately calmed down. He understood Zhao Yuan's temper, and this matter was most likely caused by her domineering attitude. Now that Qin Shi's status completely suppressed him, if Yu Yue really made some unreasonable request, he wouldn't be able to do anything.
Fortunately, it was only an apology.
He quickly nodded, "That's what I should do." Immediately, he turned around and scolded Zhao Yuan, "What are you standing there for, hurry up and apologize to her!"
"What, you want me to apologize?"
Zhao Yuan's self-esteem was obviously hurt. She pouted and said, "No, impossible. She's just a little whore, what qualifications does she have to make me apologize?
What qualifications does she have to make me apologize? "
"Say that again!" Yu Yue angrily shouted.
"I already said, she's just a little whore, born to be a lowly slave!
What do you think? "Zhao Yuan puffed out her chest proudly with her hands on her waist.
"You …!"
Yu Yue angrily clenched her teeth.
"That's enough!"
Suddenly, Long Tingyan gloomily shouted at Zhao Yuan. Zhao Yuan jumped in fright and shrunk her neck.
"Hurry up and apologize to her!
Otherwise, I won't care about you! "
"I …!"
Zhao Yuan never thought that Long Tingyan would be so fierce to her. This caused her to lose her backbone, and her eyes immediately turned red.
"I, I'm sorry …!"
Zhao Yuan lowered her head and spoke lightly to Qing 'er. She was truly afraid that Long Tingyan would disregard her. No matter how great her clan was, if Long Tingyan didn't exist in the Sword Sect, then she would be nothing.
"Forget it, Yu Yue, let's go." Qinger shook her head and gently held Yu Yue.
Feeling that soft as water, Qin Shi couldn't help but let out a long sigh. They were both women, but the difference was like heaven and earth. Since the matter was over, he said to Long Tingyan, "Then Deacon Long, we'll take our leave first."
Finished speaking, he waved to the others and was about to leave this chaotic place.
However, suddenly, Long Tingyan shouted at him, "Brother Qin, wait a moment, there's something I want to tell you."
"Huh?"
Qin Shi frowned in surprise. He didn't have any relationship with Long Tingyan, so why would he want to see him?
Haoyue said from the side, "Shi Tou, you better be careful. This person's heart is hard to read. I think it's very likely that he will ambush you."
Rolling his eyes at Haoyue, Qin Shi curled his lips, "Can you not think of everyone as sinister as you?"
"Fuck!
You said I'm sinister?
I'm not doing this for your own good. "Haoyue shouted, unconvinced.
Qin Shi ignored her and turned to Long Tingyan with a curious smile, "Hehe, what business does Deacon Long have with me?"
Long Tingyan smiled bitterly, "Don't call me Deacon Long, I'm a few years older than you. If you don't mind, how about calling me Brother Long?"
"Hehe, that's not good!"
Anyone could hear that Long Tingyan was trying to befriend Qin Shi, but who would have thought that Qin Shi would pretend not to understand and implicitly refuse?
"He, he refused Long Tingyan?
Gulp …! "
"This is interesting. Hehe, Long Tingyan, the eldest disciple of the Law Enforcement Department, was rejected by a closed door disciple. I'm afraid it won't be long before this matter spreads throughout the Sword Sect."
"Mm, this time, Zhao Yuan isn't arrogant. Humph, does she really think that she can do whatever she wants in the Sword Sect just because she has Long Tingyan's support?
Look at Qing 'er. She usually works hard without complaint, but now the heavens are repaying her. In the future, no one will dare to bully her in the female dormitory. "
"This is a good opportunity. I must find a chance to get close to Qing 'er. Who knows, I might even be able to seduce Qin Shi through her. Even becoming his secret lover would be good."
The group of female disciples were like grass on the fence. After Zhao Yuan lost her power, they quickly changed sides.
Long Tingyan was also surprised and then laughed dryly. Qin Shi was clearly holding a grudge.
"Brat, don't push your luck!"
Chi Quyan angrily shouted, but she was immediately stopped by Long Tingyan. He unwillingly said, "Big Brother, he's clearly trying to show off his power. Does he really think he's so great just because he's in closed door cultivation?
He's not even a candidate for Sect Master! "
"Enough. We're in the wrong in this matter."
Long Tingyan glanced at him and sighed at Qin Shi. "Fine, Brother Qin, since you feel that it's inappropriate, then let's leave it at that. I just want to tell you that you killed Mu Yu. I'm afraid it won't be long before the Sect Law Altar descends."
"What?
He killed Mu Yu? "
This matter was still unknown in the female dormitory. But now that it came from Long Tingyan's mouth, Qin Shi's prestige soared once more.
Zhao Yuan's beautiful eyes flashed with disbelief. Now she also calmed down. Even Mu Yu had been killed by Qin Shi. She had even wanted to use Long Tingyan to support her.
It had to be known that Mu Yu's status in the Sword Sect was even higher than Long Tingyan's.
"I know that. But so what?"
"So, so what?"
Everyone squinted their eyes. So what if it was the Sect Law Altar? In the Sword Sect, probably only Qin Shi dared to say that it was the Sect Law Altar, right?
However, under everyone's shocked gazes, Qin Shi faintly smiled. He wasn't surprised at all. "Deacon Long, is this what you want to say?
I did indeed break the sect's rules, but this matter doesn't seem to be under the jurisdiction of the Disciplinary Department, right? "
"Eh."
Long Tingyan hurriedly shook his head. "Brother Qin, you might have misunderstood. I'm just trying to persuade you. If I'm not wrong, the Sect Law Altar will descend in three days."
After he finished speaking, Long Tingyan stretched out his hand, and a deep purple pearl floated in his palm. "This is the core essence of the Disciplinary Department's disciples. Perhaps you might be able to use it in the Sect Law Altar. I hope I can help you."
"You want to help me?"
This surprised Qin Shi. Even Haoyue, who was beside him, became solemn. "Heh, good heavens, it's actually core essence."
"You know about it?"
"Yes, this is good stuff. It's said that this core essence can be used as a second life in the Sect Rules Altar. It's a peerless treasure that the Enforcers of the Law Enforcement Division have accumulated over a long period of time through their experience in enforcing the law in Sword Sect."
"It's said that only the Great Elder can refine one core essence. I didn't think that he would be able to refine it at such a young age. He's not simple."
"It's that precious?"
Qin Shi was a little moved. Actually, after killing Mu Yu, he wasn't as relaxed as he looked. The Sect Law Altar had always been a barrier in his heart. Now that this core essence could become his life-saving treasure, how could he not be moved?
"Brother Qin, you don't need to worry too much. I'm giving you the core essence because I admire you. To be honest, I've been bullied by Mu Yu for a long time. Now that you've appeared, you've helped me vent my anger. On top of that, I feel guilty about what happened to Zhao Yuan. Therefore, I really want to help you. I hope you can accept it." Long Tingyan said sincerely.
This time, Qin Shi narrowed his eyes. He had absolutely no reason to refuse. Only then did he take a deep breath and smile, "If that's the case, then I won't be courteous anymore. I'll, I'll say my thanks to Brother Long."
