151 Two-Faced
“It’s a pity that this Qin Huai is a little young. Although he has talent, I don’t know when he’ll be able to mature.”
As for Qin Huai’s results, it was just a passing grade to the people who were watching. This also made their enthusiasm instantly disappear without a trace. No one would pay attention to an average person, especially in front of Zhang Haoyue, who was dazzling and unique.
On the stage, Qin Huai looked at the quarreling crowd and couldn’t help but feel that Zhang Haoyue was really a man of heart. But he did not show any emotional fluctuations.
This time, he had only measured the difference in strength between him and the disciples of the Nine Dragons sect. He didn’t use boiling blood, dragon blood, or any other means.
“As expected of a disciple of the Nine Dragons sect. With about eighty percent of my qi, blood, and strength, I can only defeat a disciple of the Nine Dragons sect at the same level.” Qin Huai was obviously not satisfied with just this little bit of strength.
Qin Huai walked up to the old man. The latter had already written down his results and ranking: 342.
Qi and blood at the seventh refinement could only be ranked in the 300s among the younger generation…
“Here, thirty-four points. If you maintain the ranking between 340 and 350, you’ll be at thirty-four points every month after that.” Elder Erlong threw a bamboo stick.
Qin Huai quickly held it tight.
“Congratulations Brother Qin, you actually have seven points.” Zhang Haoyue walked over from the side, his face full of smiles like a spring breeze.
“Brother Zhang is too polite. My insignificant skills are nothing in front of Brother Zhang.” Qin Huai was very humble.
“No, no, I’m only at ten points. Brother Qin is only one step away from me. Besides, Brother Qin is only around seventeen years old. I’m already twenty years old, an old man… I’m far from you.” Zhang Haoyue was ashamed of his inferiority.
“If Brother Qin were to be at my age, I’m afraid you wouldn’t be able to find a worthy opponent in Lingjiang county.”
“Brother Zhang’s words are too much.” Qin Huai’s face was slightly red, as if he was ashamed.
Qingshui pursed her lips, and her shoulders twitched. She could tell that her son-in-law was faking a smile and was just being polite to Zhang Haoyue.
With Qin Huai’s unscrupulous and violent style in Pingnan, how could he have a red face?
Qingshui was also shocked by Qin Huai’s qi, blood, and strength. She knew very well that he was still hiding his strength. The violence that Qin Huai had displayed on the city wall that day was far greater than what he was showing now.
‘This son-in-law… It seems even in a place like the Nine Dragons sect where geniuses gathered, he is still a monster. Unfortunately, it is just as Zhang Haoyue said. Young Master is too young.’
“Brother Qin, I’m also a first-rank commoner. I like to make friends with geniuses. I wonder if I’ll have a chance to drink with Brother Qin in the future?” Zhang Haoyue invited.
“If Brother Zhang invites me, I, Qin Huai, will definitely go! I’m obliged to do so!” Qin Huai’s voice was firm.
At this moment, Zhang Haoyue’s eyes were a little wet. “I seem to have seen the future of the Zhang and Li families if we join hands. It’s a deal then!”
“It’s a deal!”
The two of them hugged each other and parted ways.
Qin Huai turned his head and stopped smiling. “Let’s go.”
He then went to the Hundred Treasure Pavilion to exchange for the medicinal herbs used to restore the golden blood, and only then did he walk toward the house.
…
On the other side, the Li family head, Li Zeren, stood for a long time.
Suddenly, there were more than ten armored cavalry galloping on the nine dragons road, and the people along the way were unable to avoid them in time.
They were directly killed by the two cavalrymen who were leading the way! It could be said that they were extremely arrogant!
Li Zeren saw the scene in front of him and frowned. It was a blatant display of power.
“Hahaha… Song Ya greets the head of the Li family!” Song Ya laughed and cupped his fists at Li Zeren.
“General Song’s presence in the Nine Dragons sect is our great fortune! Quickly, invite him in!”
The two of them had their arms around each other’s shoulders, and their faces were filled with unprecedented enthusiasm. Those who didn’t know better would think that it was a reunion of long-lost brothers.
Song Ya looked at the scenery and people of the Nine Dragons sect. There were flying cranes flying through the clouds, evergreen pine trees, and old people who walked as if they were flying.
It was out of place in the noisy world.
He couldn’t help but sigh. “I’m ashamed to say this. I’ve been born and raised in Lingjiang for so many years, but this is my first time coming to the Nine Dragons sect.”
Li Zeren said very forthrightly, ” General Song, if you want, you can come here every day in the future! I’ll give General Song a courtyard in the Nine Dragons sect!”
“I wouldn’t dare, I wouldn’t dare. Every inch of land in the Nine Dragons sect is worth its weight in gold. A nobody like me can’t afford it.” Song Ya looked on, and from time to time, he made a clicking sound.
“As expected of a True Path sect branch. It’s truly a paradise on earth. It would be a pity if a mortal entered this place by mistake and tainted the immortal qi.” He seemed to be innocent, but he was also implying something.
“What immortal realm and mortal realm? Anyone who enters the Nine Dragons sect can treat this place as their home.” Li Zeren smiled.
The two of them looked at each other. They were both old foxes, so they naturally understood what the other meant.
Song Ya did not give up. “My men heard that a rebel from Pingnan escaped into the Nine Dragons sect. I wonder if Master Li knows about it?”
“How could there be a traitor from Pingnan in my Nine Dragons sect?! Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!” Li Zeren pretended to be confused.
Song Ya laughed. “Hahaha… I thought so too, but there are always accidents. Li family head, why don’t you allow me to search the area and help the Nine Dragons sect? Otherwise, if this traitor hides in the immortal realm and does something outrageous, wouldn’t he be harming the sect?”
Indeed, the bloodline of the Hu family had become a thorn in his side.
