Chapter 157 – Spirit Immortal Dan (1/2)
Chapter 157 – Spirit Immortal Dan
Qinghan tidied his room up, and calmed down a little bit, before he went out to the hall with a pretended relaxed expression.
In the hall, almost everyone was present and they had already finished their breakfast. Now, they were busy chatting with one another.
“Qinghan! Take a seat. Haha, I thought your capacity of wine was tougher… You have to practice, time and time again. You know, when I was young, I could keep on drinking for three consecutive days and nights. No bragging, I wasn’t even drunk at that time.”
Seeing Qinghan’s arrival, Ye Qingniu made fun of him, but his care and love for this young man could easily be discerned in his voice.
The rest of the crowd jerked their heads towards Qinghan, and nodded politely as a greeting. While, at the same time, among them, Qingcheng shot a concerning glance at him, and asked, “ Why are you so late, Qinghan?”
“Hehe, yeah, why? I, your brother Elder Feng, remember to have drunk even more wine than you last night. But, you know what? I got up several hours before you! Oh, I suppose you’re a terrible drinker!” Feng Zi grinned, as he mocked Qinghan.
“Bastard, you are Elder Feng? Then what am I supposed to be called?” One of the elders of the Feng Family scolded Feng Zi for his impoliteness. In front of so many senior elders, especially Ye Qingniu, it was flagrantly improper to make such a joke by calling himself an Elder.
“Hahaha…”
Fortunately, the rest of the people, overwhelmed by the glorious victory of the Prefecture War, laughed out merrily. Another reason for their happiness was Qinghan’s generous act of distributing large chunks of the credits he had earned to all of them, rather than putting them all into his own pocket. With the credits, they would be able to obtain a large amount of items, which could further support their cultivation. Everyone was satisfied and pleased.
“Eh? Wait, where is Qingwu? She should’ve gotten up at this point of time. Hey, Qinghan, did you bump into her when you walked out?”
Suppressed by his guilty conscience, Qinghan nodded his head without giving a verbal answer. But, when he sat down beside Ye Qingniu, the latter tossed his head towards him, and asked further about Qingwu.
“No! Why would I be running into her when I wake up? We’re not sleeping in the same room. Errr… I mean… actually, I didn’t see her either. Shall we ask somebody to call her up?”
Looking at Ye Qingniu’s bulging eyes, Qinghan’s sense of guilt surfaced once again, propelling him to awkwardly defend himself.
On the other hand, however, Ye Qingniu didn’t give much heed on this topic, and replied, “Alright, let her sleep some more. I guess she has a headache or something. If she doesn’t show up at lunch time, we won’t wait for her and directly go to the Burning Immortal Pavilion to get the Spirit Immortal Dan! Our leader has informed me, that he already obtained the other pill. With the two pills, your sister will be saved!”
“Really?” Qinghan was so excited to hear this, that he almost jumped up. All his previous anxiety had suddenly disappeared. Abruptly, he stood up, and faced Elder Qingniu with eyes full of joy. At the beginning, the corners of his mouth curled a little bit; but, he reassured himself by seeing Elder Qingniu’s nod, after which the curve of his smile enlarged to a big grin, and eventually he uncontrollably laughed out…
Looking at the demented laughing Qinghan, not a single person found him obnoxious; instead, their admiration for him only increased.
Given Qinghan’s current reputation, his story was no longer anything new. Everyone knew, that in order to save his sister, Qinghan had put himself at great risk by killing the key descendants of the Ye Family, ruining the cultivation of Qingkuang, the then-successor of their family, and killing a member of their Elder Clan, Ye Ron. As his story went viral, many people became his fan for his courageous fight for love.
Meanwhile, the Ye Family, who had treated this young lord unfairly before, was determined to win back his heart. Left with no other alternative, they had reluctantly permitted him to take part in the Prefecture War. During this war, Qinghan’s diligence in cultivation was witnessed by all of the participants. With the help of his own endeavor as well as luck, Qinghan had successfully obtained a great deal of credits, dramatically exceeding the aimed quantity. By doing so, he had laid the foundation for the great triumph of the Mars Prefecture.
Right now, as he was being told that his sister, who he had missed so much, was finally only one step away from waking up, he could no longer hold his true feelings, and laughed out indulgently. His straightforward disposition attracted many, for they considered Qinghan to be a friend worth getting along with.
In most people’s eyes, Qinghan’s laughter was a sign of his ecstasy, while in Qingcheng’s eyes, she knew that Qinghan had a mixed feeling of sadness and happiness. She felt grieved for the great duty Qinghan shouldered, and the misfortunes he had gone through. While, at the same, she was proud of Qinghan, for his resilience and courage.
“Let’s go to the Burning Immortal Pavilion!” Qinghan couldn’t wait any longer to fetch the Spirit Immortal Dan. He wished to give this Dan to his sister as quickly as possible and stay with her forever…
