39 Chapter 39: I, the Dignified Senior Brother, Afraid of You?_1
"Qin Changqing!"
"He's coming out!"
"He's finally coming out!"
"Brothers, charge!"
Qin Changqing: "???"
He hadn't figured out what was going on, but when he saw a group of 'adorable' junior disciples pulling out their swords to attack him, Qin Changqing became furious: "You dare to commit insubordination!?"
I, Qin Changqing, the grand Senior Brother of Xuanyi Peak, will not be afraid of you!
"Master, save me!!!"
Whoosh——!
A figure flashed by, and Qin Changqing disappeared from the square.
Zhao Xiaoxiao and Murong Xueman, who emerged right after, were both bewildered.
What's happening?
Xuanyi Peak.
Mo Jiuzhou's residence.
"Damn! Have those guys gone crazy? Under the broad daylight, in broad heaven and earth, is there no law anymore?" Qin Changqing said angrily.
"You have the nerve to say that?" Mo Jiuzhou's beard curled up, "Don't you know what you were doing in the secret realm?"
"Uh..."
"Flirting with female disciples everywhere, were you there for the Grand Competition or to find a Taoist Couple?"
"To find a Taoist Couple." Qin Changqing replied without hesitation.
Mo Jiuzhou was speechless.
Can't you just lie to me?
"But that last Sword Array move was pretty impressive, haha! You're worthy of being my Mo Jiuzhou's top disciple." The old man's face suddenly changed, and he stroked his beard while laughing, "My dear disciple, go and prepare two roast chickens to celebrate this great day."
Qin Changqing pouted, my awesomeness has nothing to do with you; it's all thanks to my beloved wives' hard-earned efforts, okay?
Nevertheless, Qin Changqing went and cooked two chickens.
Mo Jiuzhou prepared a pot of wine, and they started eating the chicken with great relish.
"What are your plans for the future?" he asked.
"Return to Heiyu Town."
"Are you sure you don't want to stay in the mountain?"
"Anyway, it's not far, and I can quickly come back if needed."
Mo Jiuzhou thought about it and, considering Qin Changqing's rapid progress after leaving the mountain, didn't press the issue further.
He gave Qin Changqing a token.
"Since you've decided to stay in the secular world, go to a better place. Take this token to Yinxu Prefecture and become an official there. Let others handle the affairs, and don't delay your cultivation."
Qin Changqing was taken aback: "Is this... possible?"
"Why not?" Mo Jiuzhou casually replied, "You're strong enough, so it's natural. Besides, it's more legitimate for an official to return to the sect than your secular disciple identity. It's like your master sending you out for experience, and as the Senior Brother of Xuanyi Peak, no one will dare to gossip about you in the future."
Mo Jiuzhou had thought things through for him.
Qin Changqing took the token, nodded, and didn't say much else.
The old man might not be serious most of the time, but he was reliable when it mattered.
"By the way," Mo Jiuzhou remembered Liu Mengxian's instructions and continued, "after the Sect's Grand Competition is over, go to the Chuangong Hall."
"What for?"
"The Sect Leader wants to see you."
"What???"
Qin Changqing thought he had misheard.
The Sect Leader wants to see me?
What for, do I even know her?Although Qin Changqing felt that he was indeed handsome and suave, he didn't think he was charming enough to make the Sect Leader yield to him.
"Old man, what does the Sect Leader want from me? Is it good news or bad news?" Qin Changqing asked.
"Definitely good news. Inside the Lingxiao Sect, the Sect Leader can't harm you, right?" Mo Jiuzhou waved his hand, "Moreover, it's after the Sect's Grand Competition, so you should know what that means, right?"
Qin Changqing hesitated, "Giving me the treatment equivalent to the top ten?"
"Top ten? Even the top three wouldn't be excessive!"
Mo Jiuzhou said with a laugh.
Having a Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Heavenly Dao appear in the Lingxiao Sect, and as his disciple, how could it not bring him glory?
He was very clear about Liu Mengxian's intentions, a love for talent. Qin Changqing's performance in the secret realm this time indeed deserved such treatment.
"When you meet the Sect Leader, feel free to ask her any questions you have about cultivation. Although my understanding of cultivation is not weaker than the Sect Leader's, different people have different perspectives. Expanding your thinking and increasing your knowledge will definitely benefit you." Mo Jiuzhou stroked his beard as he spoke.
"Old man, your understanding is not weaker than the Sect Leader's, but your cultivation is a fart?"
"Cough, cough..." Mo Jiuzhou's old face turned red. "Understanding and cultivation are not related. Besides, although I'm a little inferior to the Sect Leader, I'm still a prominent figure in the entire Tianchuan State."
"You mean a fart is prominent, right?"
Hearing Mo Jiuzhou's words, Qin Changqing was no longer worried.
After all, the Lingxiao Sect was a major sect and wouldn't resort to killing others for their fortune like in novels.
Moreover, he didn't have any fortune on him.
If anything, Qin Changqing really hoped that Liu Mengxian would try to take it from him.
Sect Leader, my cultivation method is dual cultivation. As they say, all roads lead to Rome. Would you like to try it out? nove.lB/In
Hiss~ Qin Changqing, oh Qin Changqing, you actually have the audacity to want the Sect Leader to bear your child, what a sense of entitlement.
After chatting with Mo Jiuzhou for a while, Qin Changqing directly left.
The Sect's Grand Competition had not yet ended, and Mo Jiuzhou had to continue watching it.
As for the competition's results, Qin Changqing had no interest. He had been away from Heiyu Town for so long, and he really missed his wives now.
Descending the mountain was fast, and the Golden Shuttle Boat sped all the way. When they returned to the Qin Mansion, they saw the ladies gathered in the courtyard, chatting.
The Qin family's business in Heiyu Town was already fully established, with servants handling it, and the major decisions were left to Su Yue'er, so there wouldn't be any major problems.
The good thing about Heiyu Town was its close proximity to the Lingxiao Sect. No loose cultivators dared to cause trouble, and everyone in town knew that it was under the protection of the Qin family.
It was backed by the Lingxiao Sect's people after all, so who would dare to mess around?
At this moment.
As soon as Qin Changqing appeared, the chattering stopped abruptly.
"Husband!" Su Yue'er ran over with a joyful expression, her white skirt fluttering.
Following her were Xi'er, Lian Caini, Shu Tian, and Wang Xiaoxiao, all crowding around.
Seeing this, the maidservants around them scattered, leaving precious time for their master.
"Husband, you're back!"
"Didn't you say it would take a month? There are still a few days left."
"There are still four days. Was the Grand Competition over ahead of schedule?"
"Big Brother, did you get a ranking?"
Faced with the chirping wives, Qin Changqing smiled and replied one by one.
He sat down and began to tell them about the events in the secret realm.
Of course, he omitted his bold search for Taoist Couple in the secret realm and focused on how he valiantly defeated Deng Haoshan with his fists and kicked Murong Aotian with his legs.
When Xi'er heard about Qin Lingshuang obtaining the Water Swordgrass, she gasped and covered her mouth.
"Senior Sister Lingshuang is really amazing. I remember Master once said that if Senior Sister's Spiritual Root could reach Tier 5, her comprehension would definitely make her one of the top disciples of the sect."
As a top-tier force, the Lingxiao Sect had plenty of talented disciples, and many had strong spiritual roots.
However, spiritual roots are not everything. Comprehension, opportunities, and hard work are equally important, and Qin Lingshuang had all of these.
All she lacked was aptitude.
