Chapter 1989: Chapter 1989: None of You Can Defeat My Master
Jin Cenglv listened to the Great Elder’s words and straightforwardly replied, "We don’t need to lie."
"You can’t beat me."
Saying this, Jin Cenglv glanced around at everyone, "Even all of you together, you can’t defeat my master."
Great Elder: ?
Stared wide-eyed at Jin Cenglv.
"What did you say? Say that again?" The Great Elder, fuming with anger, began rolling up his sleeves.
He wanted to see if he could or couldn’t take down this brat.
Jin Cenglv: "I’m already at the fifth-order middle stage, and my master’s cultivation level is above mine."
Great Elder: ?!
Those eager to make a move, along with the already rolled-up-sleeves Great Elder, immediately abandoned the idea of a fight.
However, they all turned their gazes to Jin Cenglv, and then to Gu Zhiqi.
Going back and forth several times, they remained half-believing, half-doubting.
The Great Elder looked at Jin Cenglv and asked, "Are you... really at the fifth-order middle stage?"
Jin Cenglv was silent, but the Great Elder knew her answer.
Silently exhaling, he turned his head to Gu Zhiqi, staring at her for a few seconds, "Is she your new master?"
How come she looks even younger than this brat Jin Cenglv?
Jin Cenglv: "Yes."
The Great Elder fell into a long silence.
Jin Cenglv was silent for a few seconds, then asked, "Can my master and I leave now? We haven’t had dinner yet."
She wasn’t in a hurry to eat but couldn’t let her cousin master go hungry.
The Great Elder, with a dark face, said, "Eat, eat, eat, that’s all you know. Go! Take your fri... your master to eat, for all I care."
Thus, Jin Cenglv and Gu Zhiqi left.
After the two left, a disciple approached the Great Elder, "Great Elder, you just let them leave like that?"
"If not let them go, would you stop them here? Do you think you can hold them?"
Hearing this, the disciple scratched his head, "If what Sister Cenglv said is true, we definitely couldn’t stop them. But are their cultivation levels really that high?"
Great Elder: "There shouldn’t be any mistake, otherwise, do you think Cenglv would be crazy enough to abandon such a large master’s sect to follow a young girl as her master?"
The disciple had a sudden realization and said, "That’s true."
The Great Elder said no more, but instructed the disciple to carry Qiu Yangzi back to his courtyard.
A few seconds later, the disciple carrying Qiu Yangzi spoke tremblingly, "Great Elder, the Sixth Elder... his cultivation has been abolished, and it seems his talent is destroyed as well."
Upon hearing this, the Great Elder’s face suddenly changed, and he turned around, taking several large strides to Qiu Yangzi’s side.
After quickly examining him, he said with a stern face to the disciple, "Take him back, I’ll go find the Alliance Leader."
**
After Jin Cenglv and Gu Zhiqi had dinner, they went for a walk to digest.
When they returned to Jin Cenglv’s courtyard, they found three more people there, Sikong Dian, the Great Elder of the Feng Shui Alliance, and one... Qiu Yangzi, sitting in a wheelchair, half-alive.
Upon seeing Gu Zhiqi and Jin Cenglv return, Sikong Dian and the Great Elder’s faces grew solemn.
"Master Gu, you’re back?" Sikong Dian was the first to speak, addressing Gu Zhiqi.
Gu Zhiqi nodded, then glanced at Qiu Yangzi, "Is Alliance Leader Sikong here to seek justice for the Sixth Elder, holding me accountable?"
Upon hearing this, Sikong Dian felt a chill down his spine and quickly shook his head, "No, no, no, how could we dare question Master Gu."
"We’ve cleared everything up. It was the Sixth Elder who was at fault first, and Master Gu was not in the wrong."
"Then, what’s Alliance Leader Sikong here for?" As she said this, Gu Zhiqi looked at Qiu Yangzi again, only to be met with a vicious glare from him.
