“This little guy is the lackey of that head handyman, and now he's learned to bite. Now let's see how they bite! No matter how they bite, when they arrive at our Main Peak, they will be beaten senseless!” The Outer Sect Disciples of Azure Cloud Peak began to discuss. Shang Shuyu's comprehension of the Sword Dao True Intent gave them confidence, and the Outer Sect Disciples of their Main Peak, Azure Cloud Peak, already had a very strong sense of superiority.
Bai Yu’s face darkened. He wasn't afraid of fighting, but now a group of Disciples from the Main Peak were insulting him, which he found hard to bear. Moreover, the Outer Sect Disciples of Azure Bamboo Peak were still dragging his feet!
Just as Bai Yu defeated an Outer Sect Disciple from Azure Bamboo Peak and was about to challenge the Outer Sect Disciples of the Main Peak, the ground of the Handyman Courtyard shook. Then, a massive Azure Dragon Serpent appeared at the entrance of the Handyman Courtyard. This scared the Outer Sect Disciples of Azure Bamboo Peak and Azure Cloud Peak, making them scatter to both sides. The Inner Sect Disciples of Azure Bamboo Peak who were watching were also startled. A four-tiered Azure Dragon Serpent was not something they could handle!
Bang!
Qin Chu tossed the Azure Dragon Serpent he was carrying on his shoulder onto the ground, then waved at Er Pang.
“Boss, you’re back!” Er Pang was full of shock. He had been behind Bai Yu earlier and was so scared by the Azure Dragon Serpent that he retreated a long way. Mainly, Qin Chu’s body was beneath the Azure Dragon Serpent, so he hadn’t seen him. Not only had he not seen him, but none of the people who had retreated in fear had seen him.
“Drag this thing inside, skin it, cut the meat to make some snake soup, and send some to the kitchen. Let the Disciples of Azure Bamboo Peak improve their meals. As handymen of Azure Bamboo Peak, we should contribute to Azure Bamboo Peak. Be careful not to damage the skin and bones.” Qin Chu instructed Er Pang.
Er Pang couldn't move it by himself, so he called a few other handymen to help drag it.
Qin Chu shook his slightly sore shoulder, then looked at Bai Yu, “Brother, you’ve worked hard. Leave the rest to me!”
Bai Yu nodded and stepped back a few paces. With Qin Chu’s return, he felt much more at ease. He had been under great pressure recently. The Handyman Hall of Azure Bamboo Peak was now a very strong brand, and he didn't want to ruin it in his hands.
Qin Chu’s gaze swept around, first at the Outer Sect Disciples of Azure Bamboo Peak, then at the Outer Sect Disciples of the Main Peak, “Come on! Today I’m giving you a chance, you can all come at once. Come on, let me see who all is here?”
Domineering. One person challenging a group, that was Qin Chu’s domineering presence.
“I am Lin Zheng, an Outer Sect Disciple of Azure Bamboo Peak, and I am not with that scoundrel Li Bo. The conflict between our Azure Bamboo Peak Outer Sect Disciples and the Handyman Hall can be settled behind closed doors. We can accept the wins and losses, but these people from the Main Peak coming to Azure Bamboo Peak to show off is unacceptable. You deal with them first, and we, the Outer Sect Disciples of Azure Bamboo Peak, will absolutely not drag your feet!” An Outer Sect Disciple of Azure Bamboo Peak stepped forward, cupped his fists at Qin Chu, and said.
“That makes sense. Our Azure Bamboo Peak’s matters can indeed be resolved behind closed doors. Now, which Outer Sect Disciple from the Main Peak dares to Cultivate? If no one dares to Cultivate, then get lost!” Qin Chu nodded at Han Zheng, his eyes filled with Battle Intent, looking at the Outer Sect Disciples of Azure Cloud Peak.
Who would dare to Cultivate with Qin Chu at this time? A four-tiered Azure Dragon Serpent had been killed by Qin Chu; anyone who dared to act rashly would suffer a terrible fate.
The Outer Sect Disciples of Azure Cloud Peak retreated. They were Disciples of the Main Peak, and it was true they had a sense of superiority, but that superiority was useless against Qin Chu. Qin Chu only spoke with his fists and long sword.
The Outer Sect Disciples of Azure Bamboo Peak and the Inner Sect Disciples who were watching also retreated. After witnessing Qin Chu's ferocity, what was the point of fighting? It was no different from seeking abuse.
Back in the Handyman Courtyard, Qin Chu saw Er Pang and others skinning the Azure Dragon Serpent!
After a glance, Qin Chu returned to the Broken Cliff. He needed to wash himself; he was covered in blood. As for the main Materials inside the Azure Dragon Serpent’s body—the crystal core, inner core, and essence blood—he had already collected them.
When Qin Chu had finished washing and changed into clean robes, Er Pang brought him the Azure Dragon Serpent skin, tendons, and bones.
“The snake meat is in the underground ice cellar, some of it is frozen, and half has been sent to the kitchen,” Er Pang said after putting the items down.
Qin Chu nodded, “You all go busy yourselves! If anything happens, come and call me.”
Er Pang left. Qin Chu put away the Azure Dragon Serpent skin and tendons. As for the entire snake skeleton, he placed it on one side of the wooden house as a decoration. With the Qi of the Azure Dragon Serpent present, no poisonous snakes, insects, or ants would approach the wooden house.
After a moment of thought, Qin Chu began to Cultivate basic sword techniques again. As his mind moved, the feeling of the Sword Spirit Realm came over him again, and the basic sword techniques were executed with a sense of effortless control.
Qin Chu Cultivated until evening, stopping only when Er Pang and Bai Yu brought over the dishes.
“Boss, the kitchen gave me a jar of wine today. They specifically said it was for you.” Er Pang said, speaking briskly.
“The three of us will drink together!” Qin Chu had Bai Yu and Er Pang sit down. Bai Yu didn't need to be told; he had always been with Qin Chu through thick and thin. As for Er Pang, he was indeed not very good at handling things at first, and his actions annoyed Qin Chu, but he had changed during this period and had also started to Cultivate. Qin Chu had seen his changes and had accepted him from the bottom of his heart.
Snake soup and stir-fried snake meat, the chefs of Azure Bamboo Peak made them taste very good. Qin Chu and the two others ate and drank, enjoying themselves greatly.
When Qin Chu lived in the mountains, he had drunk with the old man. After arriving at Azure Cloud Sect, he hadn't touched alcohol again. Firstly, there was no wine, and secondly, life was too fulfilling, so he had forgotten about drinking.
After eating the snake soup, Qin Chu meditated. He felt that the snake soup contained a lot of energy.
While Qin Chu, Bai Yu, and Er Pang were eating and drinking, Azure Bamboo Peak was a bit lively. The Outer Sect Disciples were all commenting on the deliciousness of the snake soup.
The Inner Sect Disciples, enforcers, and Elders first went to the kitchen to inquire about tonight's dinner, because the snake soup contained very strong blood Qi energy.
Even the Peak Master of Azure Bamboo Peak was alarmed; such a matter was considered a big deal.
Knowing that the snake meat came from Qin Chu of the Handyman Hall, the higher-ups of Azure Bamboo Peak fell silent. At this point, anything happening in the Handyman Hall seemed normal.
The Outer Sect Disciples gathered, forming several small teams, the largest of which was led by Lin Zheng.
“Now, I’ll say a few words. We can’t contend with the Handyman Hall right now, or rather, we can’t contend with Qin Chu. We accept this matter. Li Bo, if you don’t want to accept it, then go ahead, but one thing must be made clear: you are you, and you cannot represent the Outer Sect Disciples of Azure Bamboo Peak.” Lin Zheng looked at Li Bo and said. The conflict between the Azure Bamboo Peak Outer Sect Disciples and the Handyman Hall was caused by Li Bo, and this conflict was not widely accepted.
Li Bo’s face was very ugly, but he didn’t speak. Lin Zheng’s position among the Outer Sect Disciples was not something he could shake.
“Now that Qin Chu is challenging the Main Peak, we won’t say anything if we don’t support him, but we absolutely cannot drag his feet. Tomorrow, we will apologize and temporarily cease hostilities, letting him focus all his energy on challenging the Main Peak. After all, the upcoming challenge concerns the face of Azure Bamboo Peak.” The leader of another team said.
