Chapter 1764 – Test
Bang –
The door was pushed open and Number 327 ran out. She asked, “What happened?”
Her gaze swept across the few men on the floor who had been beaten up and her face changed slightly.
Blue Dragon Mountains was the most important place of that clan. Even gliding and flying in the air was not allowed, not to mention fighting.
It was a huge taboo!
Number 327 bowed and hurriedly said, “Elder, Sect Master Qin is unaware of our clan’s rules; he did not mean to disturb Blue Dragon’s soul.”
“Shut up!” That clan’s elder scolded angrily, “Number 327, you have such big guts to personally take an outsider on a trip around Blue Dragon Mountains! You must take responsibility for this mistake!”
He then looked at Qin Yu and said, “Sect Master Qin, you are a valued servant of our clan and I am not sufficiently qualified to convict you. When the clan leader is back, you will give him an explanation.”
“Why are you still standing there? Take Number 327 away. If anyone dares to stop me, I will not back down easily even if this means I have to mobilize the Blue Dragon’s soul!”
“Yes, Elder.”
The two cultivators from that clan charged towards Number 327.
Qin Yu narrowed his eyes.
Something felt wrong about this situation.
Since that clan’s leader brought him to this Heavenly World, he should have given his clan members an explanation.
It did not make sense for this clan elder to have such a tough att.i.tude towards him.
Unless, that clan had some internal issues and someone was sowing conflict on purpose.
However, this did not make sense either.
The only True King in that clan was the clan leader. Not to mention anything else, the clan leader had enough power to directly suppress anyone who dared to go against him, and to solidify his position as the supreme authority.
There was only one explanation then. These people were doing this on purpose!
And their goal was to test him.
It seemed that the technique given to him by the clan leader which allowed him to control heaven and earth fate had a problem, and now they were trying to see if Qin Yu had taken the bait.
His thoughts turned quickly in his mind, and then he pushed the two people who were rus.h.i.+ng towards Number 327, forcing them to retreat.
“Insolent!”
That clan’s elder was enraged. “Qin Yu, do you think that our clan’s Heavenly World is a place where you can act recklessly?”
That clan’s elder raised his hand and grabbed.
Qin Yu could immediately feel something change. There was an invisible force in Blue Dragon Mountains that suddenly gathered at this place.
Qin Yu did not know if others could see it, but now he could see the illusion of a Blue Dragon behind that elder’s back.
It was magnificently tall and looked down from above. It examined Qin Yu closely with coldness and a hint of hesitation in its eyes.
“Stop him!” That clan’s elder growled and the Blue Dragon illusion behind him rushed directly towards Qin Yu.
However, nothing happened in the next moment. The Blue Dragon illusion dissipated before it could get too close to Qin Yu.
It transformed into heaven and earth luck in Blue Dragon Mountains, which could not be seen by the naked eye.
Everyone fell silent!
That elder’s eyes widened. “Impossible…how did you learn how to control heaven and earth luck so quickly?”
Qin Yu raised his hand.
Buzz –
The Mountains and Rivers Sword appeared!
Without any expression, he continued to raise his sword as he said, “Leader, if you can’t give me an explanation for what happened here today, it will be difficult for our collaboration to go any further.”
Whoosh –
The s.p.a.ce twisted and that clan’s leader appeared. In a low voice, he said, “Insolent! Sect Master Qin is my clan’s Enslaved One and even more so a guest that I personally invited here. Who gave you the guts to do whatever you want to him?!
“All of you, apologize immediately to Sect Master Qin, otherwise I will not let you off easily!”
Qin Yu was expressionless and looked at him, “Leader, what exactly is happening?”
“Misunderstanding, it is all a misunderstanding.” That clan’s leader added, “Just now, I was in closed-door cultivation and temporarily shut off all five senses. I did not think that such a big issue would happen.
“Sect Master Qin, rest a.s.sured. I will definitely punish these people heavily, and I promise you that something like this will never happen again.”
The clan elder and the other cultivators quickly bowed apologetically when they saw that their clan leader was angry.
Qin Yu looked at them and said, “I can choose to close an eye to whatever happened today, but Clan Leader, may I be granted the freedom to roam around Blue Dragon Mountains in the areas that are not involved with any clan secrets? Or, is the courtyard that you prepared for me really just a jail that isn’t locked?”
That clan’s leader said, “Sect Master Qin is my clan’s servant and also my trusted partner. Of course you may roam freely.”
He turned around and continued, “Number 327, you may accompany Sect Master Qin to wherever he wishes to go in the future, as long as it is not any of our clan’s restricted areas.”
“Thank you very much, Clan Leader,” Qin Yu said as he held onto Number 327. “If there is nothing else, I will take my leave now.”
Then, he turned around and directly left.
That clan’s leader looked at the two of them leaving and there was a slight brilliance in his eyes which he quickly concealed.
“Clan Leader,” that elder greeted with an unsatisfied look on his face. “Qin Yu is too arrogant. He does not respect our clan at all. He even dared to attack our clan members in Blue Dragon Mountains. You must be careful of him.”
That clan’s leader said, “I know what I’m doing. All of you may be dismissed.”
“Yes, Clan Leader.”
The elder led the injured disciples away with him.
That clan’s leader stood in his original place and closed his eyes. He quietly sensed the aura in the air that had yet to completely dissipate.
After a few moments, he opened his eyes and a hint of a smile appeared on the corner of his lips.
Qin Yu had fallen into the trap!
That clan’s leader was not at all shocked that Qin Yu was able to refine the technique of controlling heaven and earth fate so quickly and had even managed to stop the Blue Dragon’s soul from attacking.
This was because Qin Yu was holding onto a body part of a being that was in the Eternal realm.
This meant endless possibilities!
The main point was that no matter how strong Qin Yu became, he was destined to become a puppet of that clan.
He would have such a tight connection to that clan’s interests that it would not be possible for him to escape.
Hmph!
The national advisor said that Qin Yu had other options? But now, all his other options were completely gone.
So what if he became a True King? It would only mean additional power for that clan!
This way, their future journey into the Demon Clan Ancestral Land would be completely free of worries.
After he got his hands on the Eternal realm remnant body, he would then think of another way to get that body part that was in Qin Yu’s possession now.
The clan leader’s eyes were bright, and the flames of ambition and desire burnt in his chest.
……
Back at Qin Yu’s accommodation.
Number 327 first went to take a look at Bull Bean. After confirming that there was nothing wrong with her, she returned to Qin Yu’s side.
“Sect Master Qin, you were too rash. No matter what, you should not have fought in Blue Dragon Mountains.”
Qin Yu laughed and said, “I won’t do it again next time. You’ve had a difficult day; go back to your room and take a rest.”
Judging by that clan’s leader’s reaction, he must have succeeded in appearing as a fish that had taken the bait.
Even though this did not make him feel too good, it was actually a good thing for him.
Because of this, that clan’s leader’s suspicion and wariness of him would drop by a large amount, and this was beneficial for Qin Yu to do what he had to do.
For example, that clan’s leader had so readily accepted his request of roaming around Blue Dragon Mountains.
“Hmm…then I’ll return to my room first. Have an early rest yourself too,” Number 327 said. She bit her lip and turned around to leave.
Watching her leave, Qin Yu could sense the awkwardness and dilemma she was feeling. Even though Number 327 did not express it, Qin Yu was already very satisfied.
Taking in a deep breath and exhaling slowly, Qin Yu took a look at the sky.
It was almost time for him to carry out his plan.
Number 327, who had returned to her room, did not rest. Instead, she was sitting at her table and she looked like she was having an internal struggle.
Something was definitely wrong with what happened today. She understood her clan leader’s personality, and he was being too nice today.
There was something wrong!
However, she did not know if she should tell Qin Yu about this…
If it was in the past, Number 327 would definitely not be having such a dilemma.
But now, the more she got close to Qin Yu and stayed by his side, the more she could feel that something was different about him.
We are readnovelfull.me, find us on google.
Back at the Demon Clan Ancestral Land, Demon Moon wanted her to stay and Number 327 had already made the mental preparation to sacrifice herself.
Even the clan leader had abandoned her, and it was Qin Yu who stood firm and received a blow from Demon Moon to save her.
Later on, her clan leader told her that Qin Yu saved her because it concerned the cultivation of his own Great Dao.
However, Number 327 trusted her intuition. She felt Qin Yu’s concern and warmth towards her, and she had never received this amount of care from anyone else before.
But why?
After hesitating for a while, she suddenly stood up, pushed the door open, and walked out.
Then, she saw Qin Yu who was planting flowers in the courtyard.
The windchime was already hung above the walkway and it rang every time a gust of wind blew past.
“Why aren’t you resting?” Qin Yu turned around to look at her and smiled, “I’m almost done planting these flowers. Come take a look and tell me what you think of it.”
Number 327 sucked in a deep breath and suddenly said, “Sect Master Qin, my clan leader is a very cautious person and he has never made any mistakes or left any loopholes when doing things, so there must be another reason behind the conflict that happened today. You must be careful!”
When she finished speaking, she exhaled deeply, as if a thousand pound weight had been lifted from her shoulders.
Qin Yu got up and clapped his hands together to get rid of the soil on them. He looked at Number 327, smiled, and said, “I understand, thank you for the reminder, Little Seven.”
He reached out his arm and gently tapped on her shoulder in a.s.surance, “But since this is the case, you don’t have to tell me this next time. I don’t want to put you in a difficult position.”
Number 327 suddenly burst into tears. “Sect Master Qin, I…I don’t know why I’m like this…but I felt terrible not saying all this to you.”
The tears blurred her vision as she looked at Qin Yu. “Could you tell me who exactly you are? Why do I feel comfortable and safe when I look at you?”
Qin Yu moved closer and embraced her. He then said in a soft voice, “I don’t have an answer to this question yet. I, too, want to know why.
“Don’t cry anymore. You did nothing wrong.”
Her body stiffened a little, before she went completely limp in Qin Yu’s arms and cried for a really long time.
By the time she pulled herself up, her eyes and nose were red. She looked at Qin Yu and said, “Sect Master Qin, I’m so sorry, I…I did not mean to…”
She looked embarra.s.sed when she saw Qin Yu’s chest that was completely soaked, as if he was caught in the rain.
Qin Yu laughed and with a wave of his hand, his chest was dry once again. He asked, “It’s no problem. Do you feel better now that you’ve cried it out?” He looked at Number 327 and continued, “From tomorrow onwards, bring me all around Blue Dragon Mountains. I am not wasting my time, I am making the preparations to break through.
“Now, go back to your room and get a good rest. I will plant the last two flowers.”
Number 327 nodded her head.
This time, when she returned to her room, she lay on the bed and very quickly fell asleep.
In the courtyard, after planting the flowers and pasting the paper cutouts, Qin Yu stood outside Number 327’s room and listened to her steady and quiet breathing. Subconsciously, he smiled, but in the next moment, he frowned.
This was because Qin Yu had yet to understand what exactly the relations.h.i.+p between him and Number 327 was.
