Chapter 70 – Set off for Dragon City (2/2)
“Yes! Dongfang, you five guys are all rare talents, like the glaring stars in the sky. If you five follow me, I promise that I’ll treat you as my elder brothers! To be frank, you look like a servant in front of Qinghan. I guess he doesn’t truly appreciate you guys.” Shuiliu broke in with a chuckle, in an attempt to lure Dongfang away from Qinghan.
“Thanks for your kind words. However, young lord Shuiliu, I have to make it clear that we’ve volunteered to become our master’s servants. Decades ago, Ye Dao saved the lives of our fathers, we owe him more than our lives, and so we vowed to be his family’s servants. We all agree, all five of us, that we’re blessed to become our young lord’s subordinate.” Dongfang retorted in a composed manner, before he bowed to them all, and left to join Nangong, with whom he silently ate.
“Ahh!”
Shuiliu was choked by Dongfang’s response. Out of helplessness, he rubbed his nose, and grabbed a cup of wine.
“Haha, buddy. If I were you, I wouldn’t say such things. I guess you don’t know Qinghan well, but he’s really a masterpiece. Qinghan’s extraordinary speed in cultivation, in my opinion, is the main reason why they’ve decided to follow him.” With a faint smile, Feng Zi jerked his head towards Shuiliu.
“I agree with Feng Zi. It would also be in our best interest to be on friendly terms with him. In my opinion, offending him is the most stupid thing you can do!” Hua Cao joined the conversation.
Unlike Feng Zi and Hua Cao, Shuiliu was just a nephew of the leader of the Dragon Major Mansion. So he didn’t have access to any confidential information, such as Qinghan’s background. Therefore, he frowned, and asked, “How come? Why are they all afraid of him?””
Enjoying a sip of wine, Feng Zi looked around, and tossed his head to Shuiliu, whispering, “Can you believe it? Several months ago, Qinghan was merely a piece of garbage. He was stuck in the Realm of the Elite and he hadn’t even managed to summon a battle beast. Astonishingly, within just a few months, he rose several realms, which has refreshed everyone’s concept of cultivation. Initially, in Wild City, at the first level of the Realm of the Commander, he successfully killed five subordinates sent by Wuhen, one of whom was an advanced cultivator in the Realm of the General; Later, when he returned to the Ye family from Wild City, he killed a key descendant of his own family, who was said to be in the Realm of the General. Moreover, he even killed Ye Ron, an elder of the Ye family, who was already in the Realm of the Emperor! Oh, I almost forgot, there were two more victims in that internal strife: one was Ye Qingkuang, whose Dantian was ruined by Qinghan, the other was Ye Jian, who was imprisoned in the rear hill of the Ye Castle. Given all these impressive kills, Ye Tianlong didn’t punish Qinghan at all. On the contrary, he imprisoned Ye Jian, and excluded Qingkuang. Ye Qingniu is now treating Qinghan like a precious treasure, which should be sufficient evidence of Qinghan’s mind boggling potential.”
“Oh…”
At the beginning, Shuiliu had listened with rapture, as he drank his cup of wine. However, out of sheer astonishment, he had spit out a mouthful of wine, the moment he was told that even Ye Ron was killed by Qinghan. He shook his head in disbelief, “That’s impossible. How can a teenager kill an elder who’s in the Realm of the Emperor? Are you sure that your information is reliable?”
“Yes, the information is definitely true, because that’s exactly what our family received too. Although I don’t know any of the details, it is a fact that Qinghan has killed Ye Ron. I believe, that your uncle has already received this information. The elders of my family have already warned me not to offend Qinghan, in case he would decide to kill me! As far as I know, he’s able to kill those in the Realm of the Marshal within a second! As for the specific reason… I really have no idea!” Hua Cao explained ahead of Feng Zi.
- Bang! -
The cup in Shuiliu’s hand suddenly fell onto the carriage floor, and shattered into several pieces. He was terrified! After all, he and Qinghan were far from friends, so it was definitely possible for Qinghan to do something lethal to him. Because of his ignorance, he had underestimated Qinghan back at the Yue Pavilion, and fought with him. Although he had escaped from that punch, he wasn’t sure if he could escape another one.
Since Qinghan was chosen and supported by the Yue family, his influence had now even doubled. It seemed too naïve for Shuiliu to launch a revenge for that previous punch. And now, after knowing the truth, he quickly decided to keep a distance from Qinghan, in order to protect himself from being further harmed.
Despite their hot discussion, Qinghan remained silent inside his carriage. He was cultivating with great concentration.
As they were quickly nearing Dragon City, Qinghan had to seize every moment he had to cultivate. Although he was proud of his current achievement, the first level of the Realm of the General, he was an inexperienced beginner in terms of unleashing his Battle Qi. Thus, he had told Shisan that, from the second day on, he would focus on cultivating until they arrived at Dragon City. He was confident, that he would be able to grasp this new technique in such a short amount of time.
