Chapter 247: What Did I Do to Provoke Them? 2
“There’s no need to be so concerned. It’s what we should do. If we’re fated to meet again in the future, just treat me to a cup of wine.”
“Definitely!” The five of them said in unison.
“Alright, then we’ll meet again if we’re fated.”
After Wu Qingce finished speaking, he whistled and saw a huge Blood Shadow Beast charging over. Wu Qingce jumped onto the Blood Shadow Beast. After cupping his hands at Lu Ziling and the others, he left at an extremely fast speed.
“Even though it’s the second time I’ve seen it, I still feel so shocked.” After the Blood Shadow Beast disappeared from their sight, Fang Jing muttered to herself.
When they first saw a Blood Shadow Beast suddenly charging towards them at Duan Town, they were so frightened that they almost pulled out their weapons. However, when they found out that it was actually Wu Qingce’s mount, an expression of admiration immediately appeared on their faces.
There were quite a number of cultivators who had tamed mystic beasts as their mounts, but they would usually choose some of the tamer ones. On the other hand, the Blood Shadow Beast was a famous fierce beast. However, Wu Qingce was able to tame such a fierce beast as a mount, which was completely beyond their comprehension. freeweb novel.com
In just an afternoon, Wu Qingce had finished settling the matter that Ju Tianyu had asked him to do. However, when the other party expressed that they wanted him to stay for a meal, Wu Qingce swiftly declined.
It was because he was going back to the sect to report to his senior brother today, and he had to hand over all the materials he had collected to his senior brother. This could not be delayed.
Therefore, after rejecting the banquet, Wu Qingce rode the Blood Shadow Beast back to the sect as fast as he could.
He rushed to the back of the mountain excitedly. Wu Qingce put on the Soul Absorbing Bell and went to the Purple Bamboo Garden.
“Brother Jiang, I’m back.”
However, it was Gu Qinghuan who answered him.
“Brother Wu.” Gu Qinghuan bowed to Wu Qingce.
“Oh, it’s Qinghuan. Is Brother Jiang not here?”
“Brother Jiang went down the mountain to become the emperor.”
“? ? ?”
At this moment, ten thousand question marks were dancing in Wu Qingce’s head.
“What happened?! I only stayed outside for more than half a month. This...”
The next second, Wu Qingce’s mind was refreshed, and his hands formed the hand seals of the awakening spell.
“This must be an illusion!”
“Brother Wu, don’t worry. You didn’t enter the illusion by mistake. Brother Jiang went to be the emperor half a month ago. I only found out two days ago when I received the letter. The letter said that you would come back today, so I came to tell you.”
After realizing that the awakening spell didn’t respond, Wu Qingce was sure that he didn’t enter the illusion by mistake.
He took a deep breath and asked after a while, “Which country did Brother Jiang become the emperor of? The Emperor of our Sheng Kingdom?”
“Yes.” Gu Qinghuan nodded.
“This... how long will he be the emperor?”
“Since Brother Jiang has become the emperor, he should be the emperor forever.”
“Ah!?” Wu Qingce was confused again. “Brother Jiang is no longer a disciple of Sect of Returning Hearts?”
“I’m not sure about that either. Brother Jiang didn’t tell me in the letter, but I think he didn’t leave the sect. Otherwise, this cultivation land would have changed owners.”
“That’s good...” Wu Qingce breathed a sigh of relief. “Then let’s go down the mountain and ask him about it.”
Gu Qinghuan shook his head after hearing that. “Brother Jiang specifically told us in the letter not to disturb him during this period of time. He will tell us when he is free.”
Wu Qingce nodded. “I understand.”
After the two of them chatted for a while, Wu Qingce went down the mountain and walked towards the Order of Chaos Star.
Wu Qingce was now known by everyone in Sect of Returning Hearts. This was not only because he had won first place in the Gathering of Young Heroes, but it was also because Lu Yinlong had announced to all the disciples that Wu Qingce was the current chief disciple and had been officially appointed as Qing Gang. Furthermore, he was the youngest Qing Gang in history.
Therefore, when Wu Qingce was on his way back to his order, all the disciples on the way had to respectfully greet him when they saw him. “Wu Qing Gang.”
After returning to the order, Wu Qingce found that Order Master had gone out as well. After asking around, he found out that Order Master had gone to Xi Ping Mansion to take charge of the overall situation. Therefore, he decided to get some rest and go to Xi Ping Mansion the next day as well.
During dinner, Wu Qingce originally thought that he would be able to enjoy a delicious meal at his senior brother’s place today. However, he had no appetite at all.
“Become the emperor? Why did Brother Jiang become the emperor?”
Wu Qingce, who was puzzled, scratched his head. He felt that there must be a deeper meaning behind what his senior brother did, and it was impossible for him to guess the deeper meaning.
Just as Wu Qingce was feeling extremely vexed, a clear voice sounded by his ear.
“Greetings, Wu Qing Gang.”
Wu Qingce raised his head and looked over. The corners of his mouth could not help but twitch twice.
“Junior Sister Liu. What’s the matter?”
About three months ago, Liu Zijin from the Order of Water Mirror, no, the famous Liu Zijin from the entire Sect of Returning Hearts suddenly brought her four similarly charming junior sisters to look for him. Moreover, she said that she had with the intention of sparring with him.
Although Wu Qingce had felt that these four people were looking at him in the wrong way when he was at Sect of Masked Moon, he had never thought that they would actually take the initiative to come knocking on his door.
“Did I offend them before?” Wu Qingce pondered.
Their unexpected visit confused Wu Qingce, but they were still very polite when they came to look for him. They said that they saw his sword technique back in the Sect of Masked Moon, and they had already regarded him as their goal. So, they wanted to exchange blows with him. This way, they could know what they were lacking in sword skill.
Although Wu Qingce was somewhat skeptical, the other party sincerely came to ask for advice. So, he naturally could not refuse and agreed to their request.
Wu Qingce went to the arena where the disciples specialized in martial arts and fought with Liu Zijin and the other three one by one. He found that Liu Zijin was the strongest among them, and her mystic energy was special. Unlike the acquired thunder spiritual essence that he was given by his senior brother, Liu Zijin seemed to have a more unique mystic energy.
Although Fang Qiuyao, who was ranked second, was not as special as Liu Zijin, her swordsmanship was the fiercest. It could be seen that she had practiced hard.
The remaining three Yu sisters of the Yu family were not outstanding individually. However, when they joined hands to compete with him, Wu Qingce found that the three of them were on a higher level in terms of strength. The three of them cooperated very well. Their strength was definitely not as simple as one plus one plus one.
However, no matter how powerful they were, they were only new disciples who had just entered the sect less than two years. As their senior brother, Wu Qingce had given them quite generous evaluation. In terms of strength, the five of them were still quite far from him.
After the sparring, the five of them thanked him for his guidance. However, Wu Qingce could see that they were very disappointed. It seemed like not able to defeat him was very serious to them.
“So, what did I do to provoke them...”
In the next three months, as long as he returned to the sect, Liu Zijin and the other three would definitely appear on time and spar with him.
In these three months, the strength of the five of them had also improved rapidly. Wu Qingce could not help but feel that the five of them must have worked very hard in their cultivation. Otherwise, it was absolutely impossible for them to grow so quickly.
Unfortunately, although Liu Zijin and the others had improved significantly, Wu Qingce’s cultivation had improved even faster. Therefore, no matter how many times they fought, Liu Zijin and the others were not a match for Wu Qingce.
Generally speaking, if they could not beat him, they would just change their opponent. However, Liu Zijin and the others did not have any intention of giving up. They would still look for him every time.
“So, how did I provoke them...”
Wu Qingce looked at the five sisters who had made meaningless requests for him to spar with them and sighed in his heart.
He still agreed to spar with them. After the meal, Wu Qingce followed Liu Zijin and the others to the sparring room. However, when he was about to jump onto the arena, he discovered that the law protector of Order of Water Mirror, Yu Manwen was there.
Thus, he went forward and saluted, “Greetings, Law Protector Yu.”
After he saluted, he saw Liu Zijin and the others come up and saluted to Law Protector Yu, shouting, “Master!”
“Master!?”
Wu Qingce was shocked. They invited their master here just because they could not defeat them? It can’t be that serious, right?
“What did I do to provoke you guys!?”
Looking at Wu Qingce’s extremely inexplicable expression, Yu Manwen smiled at him and said, “I’m just here to take a look and give them some pointers. Wu Qingce, you don’t have to care about me.”
“How can I not care!? I care a lot!” Wu Qingce yelled in his heart.
