Chapter 87: Blessed by Heaven
At this moment, the Elder Chen and Qin froze.
Master-Disciple? Based on what? Based on their speech?
Qin couldn't help but stare at Elder Chen. In his mind, Elder Chen is indeed good enough to teach. But, after hearing his speech, Qin found his opinion on Elder Chen as strengthen.
The shameless and thick face that he worked hard to make for six years was now learned by Elder Chen in just few minutes. Because he had seen Elder Chen blushing when he called Qin a genius.
That means in his mind, Elder Chen praised him as a hero, Su Ling as a rare beauty was something he did perfectly in the first try. Because time, he didn't see the blushing expression in Elder Chen's face.
Qin had already sensed the Sword Belief from Elder Chen. And, that's why he believes Elder Chen is capable of teaching him. And, he also found the poison weakening when he trained his swordsmanship.
Qin doubted whether Elder Chen knew this poison weakening on his body. Because on one hand, Elder Chen must know that he is a swordsman. On another hand, Elder Chen can't see his sword cultivation.
But, Elder Chen never took action against him, and he didn't even reveal Qin's swordsmanship when Qin try to act low-key in front of him. This is why Qin didn't understand Elder Chen's motivate. But, he turned his head to Su Ling.
'Isn't she together with Jin Hao? Is there some that I don't understand? Since they don't want me to join Jin Hao's faction, I should play with them. It's not like they have the true understanding over my strength.'
"I still haven't respected Elder Chen as a master. But, Elder Chen is someone that I idolize and someone who gave me a chance to shine my talent. That's why I must follow his advice." Saying so, Qin turned his head at the sect master and said.
"I'm truly sorry, sect master but Elder Chen is correct. Elder Su has both talent and beauty. Cultivation doesn't speak of age. Just as Elder Chen said, her beauty will never fade away and my ascension won't slow down."
"Elder Su and I are the partner chosen by the heaven itself. As long as Heaven is above us, no one in this world can separate us."
Bang! Bang!
The thunder cloud struck each other in the sky. Elder Chen raised his head and saw the natural phenomenon and raised his thumbs up at Qin. At this moment, Su Ling trembled. Her eyes were full of confusion and fury.
And, Qin stood there with dumbfounded expression. He didn't think his words would attract the attention of the heaven. Up until now, everything was just the battle of words. But, Su Ling's and his relationship has been approved and blessed by the heaven.
The thunder cloud covered the sky and the light only fell on him and Su Ling. Both of them looked at each other with confusion. Qin could see the anger in her eyes but something was holding her back.
Then, he slightly turned his gaze at Jin Hao. He also saw the anger in his eyes but it wasn't just the anger. It was filled with killing intent.
"Sect Master, it's a blessing to our sect. Heaven has blessed the dragon and the phoenix of our sect. We should set off an engagement ceremony after the competition." Elder Chen shamelessly praised Qin and Su Ling as he asked to the sect master.
"Enough is enough! When did I say I want to marry him?" At this moment, Su Ling couldn't contain her anger and shouted.
"Hahaha! Yes, Elder Su do not like Qin. He won't have any problem joining the Mad Dragon Faction." When her words rang on the sect master's ears, he immediately burst into laughter and didn't hesitate to rope Qin into his son's faction.
"Who said I don't love him? I just don't want to talk about marriage and engagement right now." As soon as Su Ling heard his words, she immediately suppressed her anger and spoke.
Her words made the father and son clenched their fists.
Clap! Clap!
"I think we should talk about this matter after the competition, don't you think?" Suddenly, Elder Wu landed on the ground and spoke. His tone was calm as the water.
Hearing his words, the sect master and Elder Chen looked at the disciples surrounding them. The sect master instantly rose to the sky and shouted "The competition has been disturbed but nothing has changed. The competition shall continue."
Saying so, he disappeared. Elder Chen and Elder Wu also disappeared. After they disappeared, everyone turned their gaze at the head elder.
"Ahem! Let's continue the competition from where it was disturbed. The participants can watch the battle from outside this mess."
Hearing the head elder's words, everyone dispersed. Qin also returned to Guan Xing and Guo Min.
"You are awesome at making mess, Brother Qin." Guan Xing couldn't help but give him thumbs up.
"Brother Qin, sorry for all the troubles. I'm extremely sorry." Guo Xin instantly bowed in front of Qin. His bow was deep as well. Qin walked near him and patted his shoulder.
"Have some confidence in yourself! You aren't bad luck, at least not to me."
Hearing those words, Guo Min's burst into tears but didn't raise his head. Some disciples were still watching them but when they got Qin's glare, everyone walked away.
There were only two people remained though. Jin Hao and Su Ling. Both of them walked towards Qin.
"Junior Brother Qin, are you sure you don't want to join the Mad Dragon Faction?" Jin Hao puts up a smile and asked.
"Senior Brother Jin, can you coexist and make peace with Elder Su?" Qin asked with a gentle smile on his face. There were two reasons in his question. One was something he wanted to express to Jin Hao. And, another was the relation between Jin Hao and Su Ling.
He wanted to know whether both of them are truly enemies.
When Jin Hao heard his words, the killing intent appeared on his eyes. He looked at Qin and gritted his teeth "I hope you can keep yourself alive in the inner court."
Saying so, he turned around and walked away. He didn't want to listen Qin's bragging again. He had already found his answers.
"And, I thought you were his ally." Qin turned his head at Su Ling and spoke.
When Qin spoke like that, Guan Xing was slightly confused. Su Ling also narrowed her eyes and said "We were never allies. I just wanted one thing from him and until I got it, I worked for him. That's all there is."
Her voice was cold like the winter.
"Well, this is good. After all, I can't bear to hurt you." Qin sighed and smirked. He was truly worried about Su Ling. Because she was the only reason why he was alive. When he was holding his godmother in his hands, she pulled him away and throw him out of the battle.
Although it was quite harsh, it couldn't be compared to death.
"You are talking like you can hurt me. Humph! Don't think I like you or something. I only saved you because of your godmother's words. Even at the face of death, she only cared about you. That's the only reason why I saved you." Su Ling coldly spoke as she clenched her fist.
"Don't worry, I have no interest in your either. I just don't want you as my enemy. As for all that bragging, I only said that to pull things into our favor. Elder Chen didn't want me to join his faction. There must be a reason, right?" Qin asked with some curiosity in his eyes.
As for liking her, he does like her. But, he doesn't want to say this to her. Because this like is completely different than the love he feels for Yue Bin.
At this moment, Su Ling slightly pulled her sleeves and revealed a tattoo of a dragon.
"Anyone who joins his faction must go through a certain baptism. For me, it was great risk since I must do whatever he orders me after joining him. But, I had a plan and I needed his support to complete that plan."
"So, I worked with Elder Chen and suppress the effects of baptism until I complete my mission. Because the main part of that baptism is to turn you into one of his mindless soldier. Elder Chen used his poison art to suppress the effect."
"And, after I completed my mission, I had something on my hand that completely removed the effect of baptism. This is why the Elder Chen didn't want you to enter his faction. Because if you do, even he can't remove the effect."
"Do you understand?"
Hearing her explanation, Qin rubbed his chin and nodded his head.
So, this is why Elder Chen didn't let him join the Mad Dragon Faction.
But, he can break the effect of baptism with a sword, right?
