"Why isn't Brother Qin Ming back yet?" Qin Rou stood on the summit of the mountain behind the Celestial Sect, his gaze filled with uncontrollable worry.
Ever since Qin Rou had been released from Liu Ling's house arrest, the first thing she thought of was seeing if Qin Ming's injuries were better or not.
Unfortunately, the wooden door to Qin Ming's original residence was kicked open by someone. Not far from where Qin Ming resided, there were still traces of blood spreading.
Seeing that scene, Qin Rou was almost going crazy, using all kinds of information to find out where Qin Ming was.
However, the information that he was gradually getting made Qin Rou dumbstruck.
He headed to the Spiritual Elixir Pavilion and concocted the Absolute Elixir within a short period of time!
Heavily injuring Wang Tian, Liu Hao, and angrily rebuking the Discipline Hall disciples!
He went to the Martial Pavilion with Qin Wu and took the 'Myriad Spirit Sword Technique' straight away. However, he was not stopped by the one-armed old man! On the contrary, Qin Wu, who also wanted to imitate Qin Ming, was severely injured by the spirit array in the Martial Pavilion.
All sorts of news made Qin Rou completely dumbstruck.
When Qin Ming was chased out by her foster mother, Liu Ling, he was obviously heavily injured, and could not even walk properly, so why did it seem like he had become a completely different person?
But these were not what Qin Rou was most concerned about. What he was most concerned about was that, tomorrow would be the start of the competition for the Celestial Sect sects.
If Qin Ming still wasn't able to come tomorrow, it would be equivalent to giving up on this time's great sect competition.
According to the rules of the sect, if he gave up the punishment of the sect competition, he would be demoted at best, and expelled from Celestial Sect at worst!
Regarding the replacement of fresh blood and the elimination of dregs, Celestial Sect had always done very well.
This is... There had never been a case where the young master of one of the three families was actually a cripple!
A storm was brewing. Qin Rou already sensed that there was a pair of large, dark hands controlling the current Celestial Sect, and the one in the middle was Qin Ming! How could she not be worried? How could she not be anxious?
On the contrary, she had heard from the two outer sect disciples that they had met Qin Ming before, and that Qin Ming's strength was extraordinary.
Originally, Qin Rou did not believe it either, but she could not resist the brother and sister's affirmation. Her heart calmed down a little.
However, before she could rejoice, the last piece of news the siblings told her was that Qin Ming had to cover them as they escaped, and he had to face the hordes of demon beasts and wolves by himself!
Qin Rou seemed to feel a bolt out of the blue. He absolutely could not believe that the person who did not relax in the slightest after being ridiculed by so many people from the same sect back then would have such a life!
Every day, Qin Rou would wait at the mountain at the back of the Celestial Sect for them to gaze into the distance.
Every single person that returned, a hint of brilliance would appear in Qin Rou's eyes. Every single time she flew back to the Spirit Crane Mountain, Qin Rou would look up and look forward to it.
But unfortunately, the person she was waiting for did not send out any news.
Now that two months had already passed, and even the rest of the Thunderfire Prefecture's strength had come to visit the Celestial Sect, prepared to witness the great competition that was going to take place in the Celestial Sect. But Qin Ming still had not returned, how could they not be worried?
"He should be back soon?" Beside Qin Rou, Fang Qin was looking forward to it.
Those powers that had come to the Celestial Sect had all gathered, and even the princess of the Thunderfire Prefecture had arrived at the Celestial Sect yesterday.
Not only that, some of the Thunderfire Prefecture's forces would bring their sect's successors to observe and study, or purchase some pills to exchange with others.
As the only sect in the Thunderfire Prefecture's Pill Dao, the prestige that the Celestial Sect had was not small.
Putting everything aside, who wouldn't want to easily obtain a pill at the crucial moment of their advancement?
It had to be known that there was a possibility of failure when one advanced. However, as long as one possessed a corresponding pill, the probability of failure would be greatly reduced.
Therefore, every time the Celestial Sect's Great Sect Competition was held, it would attract countless gazes and all sorts of agreements would be made with the various sects within this period of time.
And the reason why Celestial Sect valued the great sect competition so highly was because the disciples who wanted to participate in the great sect competition would represent the future Celestial Sect.
Although not everyone could rise to greatness, they were still new blood.
The stronger the performance of the sect disciples, the more benefits Celestial Sect would receive, and the conditions for the negotiations would be even more generous.
The sects of the Dao of Alchemy had always been like this.
Unfortunately, this golden age for the Celestial Sect … Qin Ming, however, did not have a single trace of news.
"Let's go, it seems like we've waited for nothing today." Qin Rou looked at the vast ancient forest in the distance, turned around, and said softly to Fang Qin.
Every day, he would come here to wait for some time, and upon Fang Qin's return, he would often stay here to wait for him.
Unfortunately, as time passed, other than feeling even more worried, Qin Ming did not manage to leave any message behind.
"No need, I'll wait a bit longer." Qin Ming was stopping the demon beasts and wolves in the forest only because he wanted to save them. If one were to say that Qin Rou's worry for Qin Ming was ranked first, Fang Qin's worry for him could be considered as second.
The news of Qin Ming blocking the demonic wolves had gradually spread throughout the entire Celestial Sect. Countless people believed that Qin Ming had died in the forest of demonic beasts.
Facing such words, although Fang Qin felt uncomfortable in her heart, she could only wait and do nothing.
The current Celestial Sect was indeed waiting to take action, as for Qin Ming's return?
In the eyes of the vast majority of the people, Qin Ming was just a piece of trash.
"Don't worry, I believe Big Brother Qin Ming will definitely be fine! Tomorrow, big brother Qin Ming will definitely return tomorrow. " Qin Rou patted Fang Qin's shoulder and said softly.
She really wanted to wait for Qin Ming's return, but Liu Ling had already given her orders.
Tomorrow is the Great Clan Competition, she really could not stay here and wait for Qin Ming.
Even though he already felt that Qin Ming might really not be able to return, a trace of extravagant hope still remained in Qin Rou's heart.
But, if Qin Ming does not return in the next two days, I am afraid...
Just as Qin Rou was about to turn around and leave, far away from the forest of demon beasts, there was a small cyan dot that was quickly attacking them.
"Is that …?"
Fang Qin frowned as she poured spirit energy into her eyes, trying her best to look at that small cyan light.
"Hmm?" Qin Rou, who had discovered the abnormality, also turned around. Her eyesight was far better than Fang Qin's, and she could also see him more clearly.
Unfortunately, the light dot was still too far away from the back mountain of the Celestial Sect, so he couldn't see it clearly.
"Possibly... Was it a demon beast that escaped? "
Having waited for too long, Qin Rou did not dare to entertain too much hope. Right now, she only hoped that Qin Ming would be safe and sound;
If a person was fine, there was always a chance.
"No, it's Qin Ming!"
Although Fang Qin couldn't clearly see the cyan dot, she had a kind of vague feeling in his heart that told her that it was the person she was waiting for.
Slowly, the cyan dot expanded in size, and its speed closed the gap between the two. In the blink of an eye, the outline of the cyan dot appeared.
"It's Qin Ming!" Different from Qin Rou's focus, when Fang Qin was finally able to clearly see the cyan colored horse, she also noticed the youth sitting upright on the horse.
From a distance, it was indeed hard to see a person sitting on the back of a two-meter tall horse.
"He's back, he's finally back!"
Qin Rou, who had also seen Qin Ming, clenched her fists.
She knew that her big brother Qin Ming wouldn't let him down!
Qin Ming had trained in the Demonic Beast Forest for two months by himself, so he was definitely not weaker than those so-called heaven's pride experts!
