Chapter 170 - Staying With The Junior Martial Sister



Chapter 170 - Staying With The Junior Martial Sister

The white-robed priest took a deep breath and he suppressed his thoughts of killing Zhong Yue. Then, when he tried to say something, a Xiao Mang Celestial Race Qi Practitioner shouted, “Human, don’t be so arrogant for Senior Martial Brother Xiao Chuwen is not here! If he were here, he could have squashed you with one finger!”

“That’s right! He is the strongest Practitioner in the level of Rebirth among us and the disciple of the Elder Priest and one of the candidates for the upcoming battle! It would only require little effort on his part to kill you!”

Zhong Yue stopped walking and he said happily, “Good! Quickly get him here! Take him here as fast as possible so I can kill him faster and get my rest.”

The countless Xiao Mang Celestial Race’s Qi Practitioners on the scene got angered again and they all stood up and rushed to find Xiao Chuwen. The white-robed priest tensed up and he quickly shouted at them, “Stop your actions at once! Xiao Chuwen is no match for him! Asking Xiao Chuwen to fight with Zhong Yue would only be asking him to die!”

The Xiao Mang Celestial Race’s Qi Practitioners were stunned and they stopped at once.

Xiao Chuwen was picked as the candidate for the Rebirth level battle against Swords Gate and he was the strongest Rebirth level Qi Practitioner among them. But now, they were now hearing the white-robed priest say that Xiao Chuwen was no match for Zhong Yue!

They wanted to argue but couldn’t as the white-robed priest was an elder in the temple and his words would not be wrong!

The remarks of the white-robed priest hurt them deeply.

“What are you waiting for? Go and get Xiao Chuwen quickly!”

Lei Teng urged them again, “Quick as we are rushing for a rest after killing him.”

The Xiao Mang Celestial Race’s Qi Practitioners stood there blank, not knowing what to do.

The white-robed priest frowned and he tried his best to stop himself from killing Zhong Yue. He regretted trying to mock the human Qi Practitioners and he regretted even more that he said Xiao Chuwen was no match for Zhong Yue in front of his people.

This remark had deeply affected the confidence of the Xiao Mang Celestial Race!

But Zhong Yue’s consecutive instant kills on his two opponents had also destroyed his confidence as he could not save his people in time, twice in a row at that. Before he could do anything, Xiao Zhen and Xiao Tian were already killed by Zhong Yue!

In truth, he was not the only one that experienced this. Back then the battle between Zhong Yue and ‘Shui Qingyan’ during the Lawless Battles, the Qi Practitioners in Swords Gate was also given a major headache. Everything had transpired so rapidly that even the Shen dragon failed to stop them in time as well.

During that time, their battle was so intense and their combat denied anyone any chances of interfering. Their movements were so quick that not even those stronger than him were able to stop them in time, not to mention that the Zhong Yue now was far different to the one from back then.

The white-robed priest humphed and he walked away from the square as he said, “Don’t be so arrogant, let\'s go.”

The Qi Practitioners from Swords Gate immediately followed behind him and they felt much more relaxed and the tension they felt before eased considerably.

Zhong Yue squinted and he thought, Xiao Chuwen and Xiao Chuqing both have ‘Chu’ in their names. What is their relationship?”

“I see a new rising star from the Swords Gate.”

On the highest level of the Xiao Mang celestial temple, the Shan Shen priest laughed and said, “Feng the Sword God is indeed very lucky, being able to recruit the five innate bodies and such a bright man during the twilight of his life. Shouzhu, you humans have the sign of prosperity.

Feng Shouzhu put up a happy face and he said humbly, “This Zhong Shan Clan’s little one is very naughty. I’ve been telling him not to cause a ruckus on the way here but there he is, causing so much trouble. Thank god this kid is humble as he did not even use thirty percent of his full strength.”

The eyes of the few priests twitched as they heard what Feng Shouzhu said. If it was not simply an exaggeration, then this fact would be very terrifying.

But judging by the expression of Feng Shouzhu who looked like a proud parent that praised his own kid, they felt that that statement was indeed just an exaggeration.

Feng Shouzhu was a very famous man who had traveled everywhere across the various wilderness. Therefore, the few priests knew that he is a very reticent old man but their jaws still dropped onto the ground at the sight of him seemingly making a joke.

In his heart, Feng Shouzhu was incredibly happy and he thought, Splendid job! Zhong Yue was never the candidate for the Rebirth level battle as he aimed for the Awakening level battle. After beating up the Rebirth level QI Practitioners of the Xiao Mang Celestial Race, they will think that they would not be able to win in the Rebirth level battle. With that, they will pay less attention to the Rebirth level battle, which would greatly increase Qiu Jin’er’s chances! If Zhong Yue then manages to win in the Awakening division, then the Swords Gate would win it all! But I still have to help him to reverse open a secret realm first and achieve the Dao Yi Wheel!

As he was about to excuse himself, a cloud could be seen floating towards them. The cloud was fiery red and the expression of the Shen Ya priest changed slightly and he said happily, “The elder priest of my race has arrived.”

From the Xiao Mang celestial temple, the many white-robed priests swarmed out together with the elder priest to welcome the new guest. Without any options, Feng Shouzhu also followed them to welcome the Shen Ya Celestial Race’s elder priest.

The position of the elder priests in the celestial races was just like the headmaster in the Swords Gate. They all responded to Shui Zian’s invitation to help the Swords Gate to be the judge for the upcoming battle. Thus, Feng Shouzhu had to welcome them no matter what happened!

Half a day had passed after a long hour of busy greetings with the new guest and shortly after that, the Gui Shen Celestial Race’s elder priest had arrived as well. Then, another new round of busy greetings occurred again. As soon as they were done with the second guest, the elder priest of the Shan Shen celestial race arrived! Feng Shouzhu was tensed up and eager to leave but he had no choice.

He then thought, If only Shui Zian were here … he would be able to settle everything smoothly on behalf of Swords Gate.

After their arrival, the three elder priest immediately met up with the elder priest of the Xiao Mang Celestial Race. They then proceeded to discuss the details of the battles and Feng Shouzhu had to be present as well. He had to be there to ensure that he did not offend the elder priests and that the elder priests would not unilaterally decide on anything that would have devastation ramifications on the Swords Gate.

Therefore, he had to be there even though he was eager to leave.

The battle will be lost if I could not help Zhong Yue to reverse open the Dao Yi Wheel!

On the other hand, Zhong Yue and the others had arrived at their accommodation under the guidance of the white-robed priest. Their rooms were not far apart and there were many Qi Practitioners of the Xiao Mang Celestial Race that stood guard outside of their accommodation to watch over them.

In the air, there were also wooden eyes about the size of a basin. They were a type of soul weapon. These eyes flew everywhere in the air and there were also quite a few of them that flew across the hallway to act as surveillance over the Swords Gate Qi Practitioners.

Tian Yanzong checked each of the rooms one by one and discovered that there were eye-shaped totem carvings all over the flowers in the flower pots in each room. He then smirked and said, “Be careful, the Xiao Mang Celestial Race used whatever ways they had to monitor our moments. They definitely want to sort out our skills and techniques through these ‘security measures’.”

Tian Yanzong glanced at him and said, “Do be careful of your actions before Elder Feng returns! Pay attention to the monitoring of the Xiao Mang Celestial Race when you take a bath, cultivate or anything else. Each and every single decoration in the rooms might also be a medium for monitoring. Other than that, do not eat the food and drink they provided, only consume the things you brought yourselves!

Everyone nodded.

“I’m a little bit scared…” said Qiu Jin’er to Zhong Yue.

Zhong Yue hesitated and he said, “If you don’t mind, you could stay with me…”

“Ok!” Qiu Jin’er said happily.

‘Shui Qingyan’ then immediately said, “Senior Martial Brother Zhong, I am scared too.”

Zhong Yue eyes moved and he said, “If you don\'t mind, you could also stay…”

“Ok!” said ‘Shui Qingyan’ excitingly.

Zhong Yue quickly explained, “I am saying that you could stay with Senior Martial Brother Lei Teng.”

The grateful Lei Teng immediately thanked Zhong Yue for the assist, but ‘Shui Qingyan’ humphed and walked away emphatically. Tian Yanzong coughed and said seriously, “Junior Martial Brother Zhong, Junior Martial Sister Qiu has some difficulty with her legs so she really needs some care. But I have to remind you that you shouldn\'t do anything irrational and the day after tomorrow is the day of the battle so you must conserve more energy.:

Zhong Yue slightly blushed and nodded but the confused Qiu Jin’er asked, “Hall Master Tian, what irrational actions are you referring to?”

Unable to explain properly, Tian Yanzong brushed over the matter and left. Then, the young girl and boy got to the boy’s room. The girl then slowly climbed onto the bed from her wheelchair and she closed her eyes. However, after a moment, she opened her eyes and said adorably, “Senior martial brother, I can’t sleep. My heart is pounding so fast…”

With the girl just beside him, Zhong Yue’s heart thumped quickly as well and he had no idea what to do. Qiu Jin’er then dragged the blanket up to her neck while her silky black hair spread all over the white pillow as she blinked and said, “Grandmother Lu would always tell me stories if I couldn\'t sleep.”

Zhong Yue thought for awhile and he said, “I only know a few stories so I’m afraid I’m unable to tell you any good ones … That’s right, I’ll tell you a ghost story!”

Qiu Jin’er quickly replied, “No! Grandmother Lu says that any boy that tell ghost stories to a girl always has a bad motive.”

Zhong Yue blushed slightly again and he proceeded to tell her a boring story which the girl listen to happily in rapture. She then requested for another one and like that, Zhong Yue continued telling her more. After a moment, Zhong Yue felt completely exhausted from telling her stories and realized that the girl had fallen asleep halfway through while grasping onto the blanket.

Zhong Yue let out a long breath and wiped away the sweat on his forehead as he felt that the two hours of storytelling was much more exhausting than fighting a grueling battle with a strong opponent.

If Grandmother Lu were here, she would have caused a ruckus and prevented us from staying together.

He then looked at the beautiful girl who was sleeping quietly by his side and thought, Junior martial sister Jin’er is much cuter than the other girls out there… Strange, why hasn\'t Elder Feng come looking for me? If he has been stalled by some other matters, will I not be able to open the Dao Yi Wheel? Would I fail to enter the Awakening level?

Zhong Yue felt a burgeoning sense of insecurity and he discarded all his thoughts to the recesses of his mind as he thought seriously, Without a strong individual guiding me, the chances of me opening the Dao Yi Wheel are too low. If I fail, then the Swords Gate would not be able to win against the Xiao Mang Celestial Race. But Elder Feng is being held back by other matters and there’s not much time left. Should I risk it and try it myself?

If I failed…

The matter of reverse opening Dao Yi Wheel was too big for him to decide unilaterally as it was directly related to the future of Swords Gate. If it was not related to this, he would have done it by himself but now, he felt that he was bearing a huge responsibility his shoulders!

“What a nice dream! I am wide awake now! Fuxi celestial race’s young man, your Master Xin Huo has now awaken from his slumber! Huh? What’s this place and why is there a girl on the bed?”

In Zhong Yue’s psyche ocean, Xin Huo woke up from his sleep as he took in the surroundings through Zhong Yue’s eyes. As soon as he saw the girl who was sleeping on Zhong Yue’s bed, he was very happy and he praised, “Young man, so you have finally accepted the responsibilities of producing new generations for the Fuxi celestial race! How could you have done such a thing and keep it hidden from your Master Xin Huo… En, why is the scent of the Heavenly Dogs so heavy here? How did you end up here?”
