Qin Shi narrowed his eyes and surveyed half of the area.
Only then did he realize that Huang Kai had already run away.
"Damn it, I can't believe I let that bastard run away." Cursing angrily, Qin Shi glanced at Zhou Yunpeng.
He knew that Su Ming was right. He had just arrived at the ancient city and it was not easy for him to cause trouble.
The Yunding Sect alone was enough to give him a headache. If he offended the Zhou Family as well, even if he successfully entered the Lihuo Sect, there would be endless troubles.
Besides, the Lihuo Sect might not offend the Yunding Sect and the Zhou Family at the same time because of him.
Thinking of this, Qin Shi clenched his teeth, unwilling to give up.
Seeing that Qin Shi was hesitating, Zhou Yunpeng became angry and said with a mocking expression, "What?
Didn't you want to kill me?
You don't dare to do it now?
Haha, why don't you kill me?
If you kill me, the Zhou Family will not let you go. "
"Brother, don't talk so much..."
Zhou Qin grumbled with worry.
However, her worries were only met with humiliation.
"Shut up, you're just a bastard born by a concubine."
Zhou Yunpeng scolded and snorted with disdain, "If it wasn't for your damned mother, my uncle wouldn't have been hurt. Both of you deserve to die."
"I..."
Zhou Qin burst into tears as she listened to the humiliation.
Gritting his teeth, Qin Shi pulled Zhou Qin behind him. With a sly smile, he looked up and grunted, "Hehe, bastard. I don't dare to kill you, but as long as you don't die, I believe with the Li Fire Sect around, your Zhou family won't dare to do anything to me, right?"
Bang!
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Shi kicked Zhou Yunpeng's chest and sent him flying. He grabbed Zhou Yunpeng's hair angrily and scolded, "Damn it, why do I hate you so much?
As a brother, you don't take care of your sister, and instead, you insult her. Are you still human? "
"You …"
"What about you? Damn you! Someone like you should just let Su Ming's superior take care of you straight away."
The furious Qin Shi didn't even give Zhou Yunpeng a chance to finish speaking. He went up and started punching and kicking him.
Of course, every time he made a move, he would deliberately avoid hitting the vital parts. Instead, he would pick places that were sensitive to pain, such as the crotch, face, and stomach. These places were not fatal, but were especially painful.
Su Ming stood at the back and watched Zhou Yunpeng brutally torturing him. He was filled with all sorts of rejoicing in his heart. He was glad that he did not go against Qin Shi in the past.
Otherwise, he would have been ravaged to the point that even his own mother wouldn't be able to recognize him.
'Phew, I'm just too smart,' Su Ming thought.
Originally, he thought that between Qin Shi and Lin Yu, it was Lin Yu. After all, Lin Yu had the strength of the Spirit Sealing Realm.
But now, it seemed that Qin Shi's methods were better than Yishou's.
"Damn it, my hand hurts from the beating.
Su Ming, do you want to come over and have some fun?
I have to say, the first young master of the Zhou Family is really extraordinary. He's really good at taking hits. "Qin Shi only stopped when his hands were sore. He shouted at Su Ming with an angry expression on his face.
Su Ming's eyes twitched a few times. He shook his head. "No, no need."
When he saw Su Ming shaking his head, Qin Shi pursed his lips in disappointment. "What a disappointment. You're just going to let him go like this?
Never mind, I still have a long time in Lihuo Sect. When I'm in a bad mood, I'll find him to vent my anger. "
Once he finished speaking, Qin Shi kicked Zhou Yunpeng's butt. "Get lost!"
Zhou Yunpeng, who was being tortured, did not dare to act rashly.
He scrambled and ran away into the distance.
Looking at Zhou Yunpeng running away, Zhou Qin hesitated.
But in the end, she did not chase after him. Instead, she stood there alone. There was a hint of absent-mindedness in her eyes.
Looking at the absent-minded Zhou Qin, Qin Shi shook his head helplessly.
From what Zhou Yunpeng said just now, he could vaguely guess what was going on.
But these were the affairs of the Zhou Family. As an outsider, it was not appropriate for him to be a busybody.
Besides, everyone had their own fate. If she wanted to break free from the shackles of fate, she could only rely on her own efforts.
Thump!
But just as Qin Shi was about to turn around and leave, Zhou Qin suddenly came back to her senses. She knelt on the ground and with a pleading expression, she whispered, "Young … young master, please, help me. I was wrong before!"
"What are you doing?"
Taken aback, Qin Shi hurriedly reached out to support Zhou Qin.
But Zhou Qin refused to get up. "If you don't promise me, I'll kneel and never get up."
"Why are you like this?" The corner of Qin Shi's eyes twitched. He was a little angry.
Previously in the forest, Zhou Qin had been pestering him endlessly, using both soft and hard tactics. Now, she was even resorting to self-torture. He could not help but feel disgusted.
Thinking of this, he raised his hand and grabbed Zhou Qin.
"Argh!" But at this moment, Zhou Qin let out a scream and fell to the ground in pain.
Seeing this scene, Qin Shi was first startled, but just as he was about to help Zhou Qin up, he suddenly recalled what had happened in the forest and came to a sudden realization. "You're just pretending. Do you think this young master will be fooled by you twice?"
But this time, Zhou Qin did not pretend. Instead, she burst into tears.
Feeling that something was wrong, Qin Shi frowned and squatted down to look at Zhou Qin.
Only then did he realize that Zhou Qin's body, from her ankles to her wrists, was covered in bloody wounds and bruises. It was a horrible sight.
"You're injured?"
Looking at the ghastly wounds, Qin Shi was shocked.
The wounds were very similar. All of them were caused by whips. It was obvious that they were man-made.
But he could not understand why Zhou Qin would be so heavily injured when he had only been separated from her for a short period of time.
"Who hurt you?" Thinking of this, Qin Shi growled.
Hearing the growl, Zhou Qin trembled in fear. She whispered, "Huang Kai."
"Huang Kai?
What happened? "Hearing this name, Qin Shi flew into a rage.
"Previously, when we first entered the barrier, Huang Kai told me that as long as I agreed to spend a night with him, he would help me get a thousand points …" Zhou Qin whispered, "Back then, I didn't agree. But I didn't expect that not long after we entered the secret realm, my cards would be snatched away.
"Without my cards, I couldn't collect points at all.
"You know what happened next. I wanted to trick you with my beauty and snatch your cards, but I didn't succeed. Left with no choice, I went to look for Huang Kai …" At this point, Zhou Qin's face was filled with regret and anger.
"But I didn't expect Huang Kai to be a pervert.
He tied me up and whipped me non-stop. If I hadn't escaped while he was distracted, I, I might have … "At this point, Zhou Qin finally couldn't help but cry. Drops of heart-wrenching tears rolled down her cheeks.
Looking at Zhou Qin, Qin Shi's heart trembled. He was inexplicably angry.
Previously, he did not know that Zhou Qin's cards had been snatched. He only thought that she was a scammer who relied on her beauty to rob others.
Otherwise, he would have given his cards to Zhou Qin without a second thought.
Thinking about it carefully, Qin Shi was responsible for Zhou Qin's injuries.
"Do you really want to enter the Lihuo Sect?" Thinking of this, Qin Shi could not help but ask.
After being stunned for a moment, Zhou Qin nodded her head vigorously. "I have to enter the Li Fire Sect. Only then can I restore my mother's position in the Zhou family. Only then can I prevent her from suffering the disdain of others."
"Get up."
Qin Shi took a deep breath. He felt that Zhou Qin was very similar to Xu Qiaoer. They were both stubborn.
However, one was cold and the other was passionate. But they were both very kind.
Helping Zhou Qin up, Qin Shi took out a card with more than a thousand points. He stuffed it into Zhou Qin's hands and said, "There are a thousand points in this card. With this, you can enter the Lihuo Sect."
When she saw the card in his hand, Zhou Qin was taken aback. Her tears intensified as she hugged Qin Shi and refused to let go. She wailed, "Benefactor, thank you, benefactor. Mother can finally be saved."
Being hugged suddenly, Qin Shi's heart skipped a beat.
But soon after, a look of enjoyment appeared on his face.
"Cough cough, Shi Tou!!!" At this moment, a voice that sounded like a lion's roar came from the burning book.
It scared Qin Shi and he quickly pushed Zhou Qin away. "Cough cough, don't call me benefactor. You're making me sound old.
My name is Qin Shi. I'm a few years older than you. Call me Brother Stone from now on. "
"Hmm …"
"Cough cough, Brother Stone!"
But at this moment, before Zhou Qin could say anything, Su Ming had already called him.
Stunned by Su Ming calling him Brother Stone, Qin Shi said, "What are you calling me?"
"Uh, didn't you say that I'll get points if I call you brother?"
Scratching his head, Su Ming pretended to be ignorant and said shamelessly, "Hehe, Brother Stone, my card was also taken by Zhou Yunpeng and the others. Can you give me some as well?"
The corner of Qin Shi's eyes twitched. He felt helpless.
Three days passed by quickly.
On the morning of the third day, the barrier was opened.
There were originally more than three hundred disciples, but only less than two hundred people walked out.
There were expressions of joy and worry on the faces of these two hundred plus people, and there were all sorts of expressions.
Qin Shi, Su Ming, and Zhou Qin walked out.
Along the way, Qin Shi was truly angered to the core. The points he had worked so hard to get were all split between Zhou Qin and Su Ming in the end.
"Line up and hand over your cards one by one."
The three examiners raised their voices and shouted with all their might, "In a moment, the sect will send someone over and give you the third test based on your points."
Hearing the examiners' words, more than two hundred people lined up.
However, there were very few people who could actually get one thousand points.
Many people could only barely keep their lives. Their cards had long been taken away, and in the end, they only got a big duck's egg.
"Two thousand points, excellent."
"One thousand three hundred points.
Pass. "
"One thousand one hundred points, pass."
"Twenty points?
Why are you lining up for twenty points?
Next. "
"Eh, three thousand eight hundred points?
Very excellent. "At this moment, the examiner was stunned.
This person was Huang Kai.
Huang Kai's face was full of excitement. He looked at Qin Shi with slight disdain and thought to himself, 'Hmph, bastard, just you wait. When my big brother comes, you'll suffer.'
"Five thousand, five thousand seven hundred points?
Top grade! "
But at this moment, the examiner suddenly stood up and exclaimed.
Zhou Yunpeng, five thousand seven hundred points, the highest score so far.
"Five thousand seven hundred points … As expected of one of the four great families of Ancient City."
"Yes, looks like this year's first place belongs to Young Master Zhou."
The eyes of Qin Shi and the others who were standing behind him also brightened.
Su Ming's face was full of regret. "What a high score.
Why didn't I think of taking his cards back then?
Ah, I regret it so much. "
"Brother Stone, how many points did you get?" Zhou Qin asked curiously.
"Hehe, the secrets of heaven cannot be revealed. Just wait and see." Unexpectedly, Qin Shi only shook his head.
At this time, it was his turn. He strode forward and took out his cards from his bosom and handed them to the examiner.
"Two, two hundred points?
Eliminated! "
