High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late

Chapter 626: Chapter 427: Intimidating Blade Innate, Top and Bottom of the Contribution Rankings!

"Oh right, back when Master killed that Fire Flood Dragon, he used the Power of Water and Fire Rules."

The more Ji Xiaoyan thought about it, the more convinced she was that the person was her Master. Suddenly, a thought hit her, and she let out a strange cry.

"I see, I got it!"

"What did you get?"

"Master is biased!"

"Biased?"

Ling Xue suddenly felt she couldn’t keep up with Ji Xiaoyan’s erratic thinking.

"Master must have overheard me talking about him behind his back that day, so this time he only left the Blood Core for you, Xiaoxue, and not for me!"

Ling Xue was taken aback, "But aren’t you still talking about him now? Aren’t you afraid he’ll hear you again?"

At that moment, Ji Xiaoyan’s expression became extremely serious.

"Master, you’re so magnanimous. I really, really admire you. I’ve even thought about setting up a shrine for you at home to pray to every day, but I’m afraid you’d disapprove."

Hearing this, Ling Xue had a strange expression, "Alright, Master definitely won’t mind such things. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have helped us get out of trouble this time, or pointed out that our current Strength is imbalanced. That Blood Core was just to solve this, and not because of bias or anything."

"Oh, I knew Master was magnanimous!" Ji Xiaoyan immediately felt relieved.

After the competition ended, a crowd of Hunter Association executives swarmed over with all sorts of offers, but they were all rejected by the two. After the socializing ended, the two finally breathed a sigh of relief as they walked out of the Martial Arts Arena, feeling more at ease outside, as neither was good at dealing with those situations.

"Xiaoxue, let’s go eat something, how about hotpot?"

"Sure."

As they approached an alleyway leading to their favorite old hotpot restaurant, a figure quietly appeared and blocked their path.

"Would you two like to take me as your Master?" Qing Zhi asked with a warm smile.

Indeed, as the leader of the Eighteen Blade Innate, his mind was set on taking them as disciples after seeing their strike. He had anticipated they would be eager to accept his offer.

But the next second, his smile froze.

"Mister, are you talking to us?"

Qing Zhi nodded when addressed as ’mister.’

"Sorry, we haven’t thought about taking a Master, and we already have one."

"You already have a Master? Tell me who it is?" Qing Zhi still felt quite confident. Unless it was the Huaxia Martial Saint, who else in the world could compare to him, Qing Zhi?

Moreover, he was familiar with the disciples of the Huaxia Martial Saint, among whom these two did not appear.

Upon hearing this, Ji Xiaoyan and Ling Xue looked at Qing Zhi with a strange gaze. This person truly was strange. Why was he so confident, and why should they tell him who their Master was, even though they didn’t know him?

Both immediately thought this person was somewhat troublesome and attempted to walk around him.

As Qing Zhi watched the two pass by, his face turned slightly red. So many people wanted the opportunity to learn from him but didn’t get the chance, yet today he was actively seeking disciples and got rejected?!

"Wait, do you know who I am?"

Ling Xue and Ji Xiaoyan exchanged a glance and then walked further away.

Qing Zhi’s face turned a mix of blue and red. At this moment, at the junction of the alley, another figure appeared—a tall woman.

"Since you don’t want to be his disciples, would you like to be mine?" Cang Feng asked with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Qing Zhi felt regretful. He shouldn’t have asked if they knew who he was; he should have just introduced himself. Then these young girls who hadn’t even reached Grandmaster level would surely have agreed directly.

Now it was too late; Cang Feng had her eye on them.

However, the situation Qing Zhi feared did not happen...

"Big sister, we already have a Master. We don’t plan on taking another one."

Cang Feng’s smile froze, just like Qing Zhi’s earlier, "You’ve never heard of my name? Surely you know of the Eighteen Blade Innate?"

Ji Xiaoyan and Ling Xue shook their heads in succession, and then exchanged glances, wondering if they were somehow jinxed recently, attracting all sorts of strange people.

Seeing this, Qing Zhi in the back couldn’t help but twitch a bit at the corner of his mouth, almost wanting to laugh. Cang Feng had also hit a wall.

"Is your Master very strong?"

"He’s very strong!"

"I don’t believe he’s stronger than me!" Cang Feng was unwilling, as it was her first time considering taking disciples, only to be met with such a thorough rejection.

At this moment, Ji Xiaoyan and Ling Xue were getting impatient. Ji Xiaoyan immediately spoke up, "Big sister, I don’t know how strong you are, but the move we used in the competition just now was taught to us by our Master."

Upon hearing this, Cang Feng and Qing Zhi both felt a chill run through them, freezing them in place.

Seeing this, Ji Xiaoyan was delighted. Just the mention of their Master was effective—these strange people really were intimidated!

Once they regained their composure, seriousness appeared on the faces of Qing Zhi and Cang Feng. In their rush to recruit disciples, they had overlooked one thing: whoever could teach the Ice and Fire Fusion Rule could not possibly be an unknown figure.

Additionally, they could sense that Ji Xiaoyan and Ling Xue’s Qi and Blood were much more solid than those at the same level, surpassing any ordinary First Forging Grandmaster...

The two suddenly felt that the Master behind Ji Xiaoyan and Ling Xue likely had a significant background, perhaps not even weaker than them. Moreover, this was in Shenjiang City.

This city belonged to the realm of the great person on Peach Blossom Mountain. Maybe these two were connected to that person, and besides, it was normal for that person, with their tranquil nature, not to have mentioned the Blade Innate when teaching the students.

Soon, Ji Xiaoyan and Ling Xue disappeared completely in the alley.

"It’s not the right time to create extra issues... Let’s wait until we finish that matter and then talk about it."

"Alright, but you better not spread today’s events, or you’ll see," Cang Feng glared fiercely at Qing Zhi, "You were laughing at me just now, weren’t you?"
