Chapter 338 Ding Hao Takes Qi Qingshan as His Teacher
Except for Ding Hao, all people in the interrogation hall felt shocked.
The speaker was the present head of the Sky Sword Peak, the first of the Six Peaks and Six Bases. He was the disciple of the former head of the Sky Sword Peak, who was killed by Qi Qingshan. His tone was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder.
Qi Qingshan laughed weirdly and said disdainfully, “Tang Folei, you’re not convinced, are you? That year, I killed your teacher with one sword movement since your teacher had deceived his teacher and destroyed his ancestors and taken the low road. Hehe. If you feel that you are strong enough, you can give it a try and fight me to see whether or not my sword is as sharp as it was in that year.”
The present head of the Sky Sword Peak was named Tang Folei.
It’s a very strange name.
Ding Hao was kneeling on the ground in the crowd without speaking and he felt extremely surprised.
The sect’s secret that had been concealed with dust for many years revealed some clues in those very short conversations. It was also like sunken relics, whose traces were exposed when dust was blown away by the wind.
Ding Hao had known a long time ago that Qi Qingshan’s status was very special in the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect, but he had never expected that it was so special. He had come without being invited. He was not blamed for entering the interrogation hall without authorization. Furthermore, he killed the former head of the Sky Sword Peak, but he was still free now. That was incredible.
That monster was too st.u.r.dy. He spoke arrogantly like a little punk. He had no demeanor as a predecessor.
In the face of Qi Qingshan’s sneering, as the head of the Sky Sword Peak, Tang Folei, whose feet stamping would normally cause an earthquake in the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect, was lost in his long-time thinking as he seemed to be weighing something.
At last, from that light ma.s.s, a snort was heard, and then with a flash, the light cl.u.s.ter representing the Sky Sword Peak disappeared in advance.
Some people showed looks of disappointment.
Even Tang Folei, the head of the Sky Sword Peak, could do nothing to prevent the old monster from being crazy.
Qi Qingshan focused his eyes on Ding Hao again.
But this time, his eyes were filled with deep appreciation.
“You’re a daredevil boy. You committed murder and arson and you dare to do anything. Why are you so bold? Don’t you fear death?” Qi Qingshan scolded Ding Hao in an angry and fierce manner with his wine belch.
Ding Hao felt a little wronged. “I have killed, but when I have committed arson?”
“Do you still want to refuse to admit it? Five days ago, in the valley forest 400 miles away from the mountain gate, you started a fire that burned the trees within 30 miles. Did you start the fire?” Qi Qingshan scolded Ding Hao with a smile.
“Uh…” Ding Hao felt stunned.
Ding Hao tried to defend himself subconsciously, but he thought it over carefully. Was it in the valley forest 400 miles away where he and the man with the bronze grimace mask fought each other five days ago? He still remembered that he and the man with the bronze grimace mask released the force of flame and it did burn the trees… But how did the old monster know about such a story?
“Haha. Don’t guess how I got to know the story. Boy, I know about all the things that you have done clearly.” In high spirits, Qi Qingshan belched the wine and said, “How about it? Have you made your final decision? You have learned one sword movement from me and you can be considered as my half-disciple. So why not take me as your teacher today?”
Ding Hao was confused. “Why have you changed so fast? In the Lonely Peak, didn’t you refuse to take me as your disciple?”
“Ding Hao, why are you hesitating? Qi Qingshan is the first superior in the sect with n.o.ble status. Many people have dreamed of taking him as a teacher…” In the crowd, only Luo Fengzhu was thinking about Ding Hao whole-heartedly and tried to persuade Ding Hao to agree to Qi Qingshan’s request.
n.o.body knew what Young Master Jade was thinking. He gritted his teeth. With a look of resolve, Young Master Jade stood up and said loudly, “Ding Hao, you should think it over carefully. The Sword-hidden Peak enjoys a special status in the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect, but it is in name only. It cannot compare in power with the interrogation hall. Ding Hao, you are a realistic guy. Don’t make the wrong choice just for coveting a hollow reputation.”
Young Master Jade was a little bit bold.
Under such a situation, n.o.body dared to battle Qi Qingshan over Ding Hao.
n.o.body had noticed that in such a moment, Young Master Jade sighed with slight relief. He made a bet that Qi Qingshan would not haggle over every ounce with him. Fortunately, he was right.
The monster’s eyes swept across Young Master Jade and he nodded slightly without saying anything. Then he turned to Ding Hao and said, “That moment was in the past. It was not convenient for me to take you as my disciple, but now I can. It’s not easy for me to open my mouth to take you as my disciple. What are you hesitating for?”
All eyes were focused on Ding Hao.
All people’s breathing became shorter.
That little nominal disciple’s decision would have a significant influence on the development of the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect. It meant that Ding Hao would have a meteoric rise and become one of the most powerful people in the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect.
Ding Hao did not hesitate for too long.
Ding Hao would be the No. 1 fool in the world if he did not take Qi Qingshan as his teacher at this time. He conducted the most respectful ceremony. He fell on his knees before the old monster and carried out three kowtows and nine wors.h.i.+ps. He said loudly and clearly, “I, Ding Hao, acknowledge you formally as my teacher!”
“Good! Haha… Good! Very good! I, Qi Qingshan, have a disciple again.” The old monster made a long laugh. His laugh echoed in the hall like holy thunder.
The hall was filled with a shocking momentum suddenly.
Even people like Young Master Jade and Lu Fengzhu could do nothing but cover their ears tightly. The crowd felt that they were in a small boat in the sea weathering the strong wind and storm. With such laughter, people felt that their boat might be overturned.
Ding Hao had to operate his Qi to defend against such frightening laughter.
Now people’s strength in the main hall was shown obviously at once.
Shen Ku was the hardest person in the crowd. Sweat beads trickled densely down his forehead and his face became pale. He was wobbling with blood running from the corners of his mouth. His eyes swept across all the people with difficulty. He found that Luo Fengzhu and Young Master Jade were behaving most easily with their ears covered by their hands and frowning slightly. Other people showed some part of their painful looks.
Shen Ku focused his eyes on Ding Hao and then his pupils narrowed sharply.
In his imagination, that disgusting fellow whose strength was lower than his was much more relaxed than him, and he just had a reddish face… Didn’t the old monster, Qi Qingshan, forget to protect his disciple when he was cheering?
