”Disciple, disciple should, if it was only in terms of swordsmanship, among the disciples of Mang Shan Sect, perhaps the top twenty should be ranked.” After a struggle within his heart, Ding Ning said as he raised his head to look at Chen Qi.
Ding Ning did not tell Chen Qi the truth, but he was still cautious. If he was speaking the truth to Chen Qi, if Chen Qi were to spread the news inside the Mang Shan Sect, he might very well call Lu Zhenshan over. Before the Mang Shan Sect finds out about Lu Zhenshan and the imperial court's spies in the Mang Shan Sect, Ding Ning did not want to involve himself in this danger.
”Top 20?” When Ding Ning said that his swordsmanship could enter the top twenty among the outer sect disciples, even his eyebrows started to knit even more tightly together. He was also inexplicably disappointed in Ding Ning.
Although the brat in front of him, for some reason, was actually able to read the profound meaning contained within the words ”Cloud Martial Uncle”, and caused the condensed Sword Monument of the Black Tortoise to resonate with him, even though he knew that Ding Ning was someone who had a great fortuitous encounter, Chen Qi did not have a good personality, but he still felt that he could not accept someone like Ding Ning as a disciple.
Initially, Chen Qi wanted to give Ding Ning a chance to tell him the truth. But now, not only did Ding Ning not tell him the truth, he had even gone from the previous thirty years to the next. To be able to rank in the top twenty ranks of the outer sect's disciples, this was simply unfathomable in Chen Qi's eyes.
Chen Qi's lips curled into a cold smile. After sighing in his heart, he no longer looked at Ding Ning, but turned around and faced the two disciples guarding outside the entrance of the Drizzle Court's door. He waved and said: ”Guo Fei, Guan Hong, the two of you come in.”
After Guo Fei and Guan Hong entered the hall, Chen Qi turned his head and looked deeply at Ding Ning, and then slowly spoke to Guo Fei and Guan Hong: ”You two, go and try out his swordsmanship …. Mn, just use the swordsmanship that the Mang Shan Sect disciples practice, and you don't need to use the spiritual energy in your body either … ”
Hearing Chen Qi's words, Guo Fei and Guan Hong were slightly stunned, they looked at each other and nodded their heads at Chen Qi, and then walked towards Ding Ning and said: ”Junior brother Ding, please.”
As the leader of the two peaks, Chen Qi had ruled over them for the past few decades. Although none of the ten prodigies of the current Mang Shan Sect disciples came from Chen Qi's sect, his disciple had still received more than ten of them in the past few decades. And Guo Fei and Guan Hong, who were guarding the Clear Wind Rain Restaurant, were the two most outstanding disciples of Chen Qi.
Although Guo Fei and Guan Hong were weaker in terms of talent or swordsmanship compared to the ten prodigies of Mang Shan Sect, their foundations in the way of the sword were firmly rooted.
Chen Qi was already certain that Ding Ning was lying in his heart, but Yu Xiantao was so heavily injured that he could not compare his sword skills with Ding Ning, and could only see through Ding Ning's lies. There was another way, which was to let Guo Fei Guan Hong suppress his cultivation level, and using the Mang Shan Sect's swordsmanship to compete with Ding Ning's was the only way Chen Qi could think of.
Chen Qi wanted to make Ding Ning convinced from the bottom of his heart. Otherwise, if he said that he would accept Ding Ning as his honorary disciple, and even took back his decision now, this brat would not be convinced!
”Seniors, are you coming together or?” Ding Ning looked at Guo Fei, Guan Hong and the others and laughed.
Ding Ning knew what Chen Qi meant was that he wanted the two Guo brothers to compete with him in swords, but he was wrong about Chen Qi's intentions. He didn't think that Chen Qi was prepared to take him in as his disciple, but thought that Chen Qi wanted to use the two Guo brothers to teach him swordsmanship.
When Guo Fei, Guan Hong, heard Ding Ning's words, he turned to look at Chen Qi with a questioning gaze. After all, the two of them were Mang Shan Sect's direct disciples, no matter what, and even if they were suppressing their Cultivation Level, the swordsmanship that Ding Ning had learnt from those outer sect's disciples, if it was two against one, it was really too much of a bullying!
”One by one. Whatever swordsmanship Ding Ning uses, the two of you use!” Chen Qi looked at Guo Fei Guan Hong and said. After he finished speaking, he sat on the chairs on both sides of the hall, ready to see how Ding Ning would deal with this matter in a while!
