Qin Yu suddenly laughed, his voice was deep and pleasant, but it sounded different to some people, especially those disciples who were speaking up for Su Zian.
“Daojun Han Rong, what do you mean?” Yu Sheng’s eyes flashed with a gleam, and he quickly seized this point and attacked Qin Yu, but Qin Yu didn’t even look at him.
Yu Sheng’s anger rose all of a sudden, he hated Qin Yu’s calm look the most.
So he strode in front of Qin Yu, pointed at Su Zian and said to Qin Yu indignantly, “He worships you so much that he even knocked his head on the ground and bled in order to worship you as his master, and you can still laugh?!”
Some disciples agreed with his words and showed their indignant expressions to Qin Yu, but Qin Yu didn’t take them seriously at all. He just sneered slightly, glanced at Yu Sheng from the corner of his eye and asked casually, “Master Yu Feng said that Su Zian worships me?”
That’s the attitude! Yu Sheng clenched his fists, anger welling up in his eyes. It was this casual, arrogant attitude that made him hate Qin Yu to death. He should be the one who had the confidence! Yu Sheng had been looking forward to Qin Yu making a fool of himself for a long time. Today, he had a chance and there was no reason for him to let it go.
Therefore, Yu Sheng faced the disapproving gazes of several peak masters and arrogantly asked Qin Yu, “Isn’t it? This is what Su Zian said himself! This child’s qualifications and character are all in line with my wishes. If he hadn’t insisted on worshipping you as his master, I would have accepted him.”
Qin Yu gently curled his lips, ignoring Yu Sheng’s sudden puzzled expression and moved his gaze to Su Zian. He opened his thin lips and asked again, “You admire me and grew up listening to my stories, Su Zian?”
“Oh?” Qin Yu raised his eyebrows slightly and supported his head with his hands, “In this case, then let me ask you, when did I get rid of the Wushan Patriarch?” The Wushan Patriarch was a demon cultivator, whose cultivation was only inferior to the Demon Lord. He had caused a lot of trouble in the cultivation world. In the end, Qin Yu took action to get rid of him.
As soon as the question came out, Su Zian’s heart immediately sank. To be honest, he didn’t expect Qin Yu to ask questions. Obviously, this was not the direction in his previous life.
In his previous life, Qin Yu accepted him as his apprentice right away and he never made things difficult for him like he does now. Why is it different in this life? What went wrong?
While thinking, Su Zian heard Qin Yu ask him again, “When?”
“I…” Su Zian only said the word “I”, and then he fell silent. His throat seemed to be blocked by cotton and he couldn’t say a complete sentence. He just stared at Qin Yu with his eyes wide open.
Qin Yu’s face was serious and he looked like he was determined to get an answer. There was no room for maneuver. “Go ahead.”
The remaining voice also urged Su Zian, “Hurry up, Su Zian, don’t keep us in suspense.” However, just as he said, he thought Su Zian was keeping us in suspense, trying to attract attention and deliberately delay time. After all, he often did that and never considered another possibility.
Listening to the repeated urgings in his ears, Su Zian clenched his fists. I also want to say it, but…
Finally, under Qin Yu’s repeated questioning, he lowered his head and admitted in a dry voice, “I don’t know.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the discussion in Qiying Hall was instantly aroused. “The killing of Wushan Patriarch by Han Rong Daojun was a major event in the cultivation world. It was this battle that made Daojun’s name resound throughout the cultivation world. Didn’t Su Zian say that he worshipped Daojun? How come he didn’t even know about this? This is unreasonable?”
“Yes, I think it’s unreasonable…”
Although the voice was very low, Su Zian still heard it. In addition, he also noticed their gazes on him, which made his back hot and his heart panic.
Su Zian couldn’t stand it and he started to argue for himself, “My father and mother didn’t tell me about this.”
“So that’s how it is.” Qin Yu tapped the armrest of the seat with his knuckles, with an expression of sudden enlightenment on his face.
“Yes, yes, that must be the reason. There’s nothing strange about it…” Yu Sheng gritted his teeth and kept making excuses for Su Zian. It was all because he had said it too firmly just now. He had said that Su Zian was the best in the world and tied the two together. If Su Zian lost face, he would not be spared. This was totally inconsistent with his original intention of making Qin Yu lose face.
“Then I’ll change the question.” Qin Yu said.
Still asking?! Su Zian looked up suddenly, and his heart also tightened. He just hoped that Qin Yu would ask something he knew.
Qin Yu thought for a while and said, “Su Zian, tell me, why did I go to the Polar Abyss to get rid of the wolf tribe leader last year?”
Su Zian lowered his eyes and bit his lips. He still didn’t know. Even though there was a previous life, even though Qin Yu had taught him carefully for more than 20 years, he still knew very little about Qin Yu’s past because he was too lazy to understand.
However, as for Qin Yu’s question just now, Su Zian raised his head and looked at Qin Yu firmly. According to his understanding of him, there was only one reason.
Qin Yu would not kill people for no reason. If he did, it must be because “the other party is doing evil and the Taoist killed him to eliminate demons and defend the Dao, and save more people.”
“Well answered.” Qin Yu clapped his hands casually, looking at Su Zian with a smile, and Su Zian breathed a sigh of relief.
He was about to smile back at Qin Yu, but he saw Qin Yu turned his head and say to Yu Sheng, who was pale, with a smile, “Master Yu Feng is right, Su Zian’s character is indeed very much to your liking, after all, you two can be considered the same kind of people.”
“Qin Yu!” Yu Sheng was furious when he heard it, and it seemed that if he could, he wanted to get rid of Qin Yu immediately.
Qin Yu glanced at him, his eyes showing confusion, “Why are you so angry, isn’t it, isn’t it you who said…” He returned all the words that Yu Sheng had said.
Yu Sheng was so angry that his face turned red. At this time, Su Zian suddenly said to him, “Master Yu, calm down. What can’t be said in a nice way?” Yu Sheng was immediately triggered, “How dare you say this to me! Su Zian, shut up!”
Su Zian looked confused. He didn’t understand why Yu Sheng, who had always been on his side, suddenly lost his temper.
Su Zian subconsciously looked around and found that the atmosphere in the entire Qiying Hall was very strange. Whether it was the master of the peak or the disciples, most of them looked at him with an indescribable look.
Occasionally, a few disciples showed a confused look and the people next to them would immediately say something to them, and their eyes never left him. It was obvious that they were talking about him.
“What’s going on?” Su Zian felt the crisis, his body softened and his voice trembled, “Why do you all look at me like this?” Finally, he turned his gaze to Qin Yu.
Qin Yu looked into Su Zian’s eyes and frowned slightly. He was too familiar with this look. He had been looking at it for more than 20 years.
Every time Su Zian encountered difficulties, he would look at Qin Yu with this pleading and helpless look, asking Qin Yu for help.
Qin Yu had a guess. He snorted coldly, stood up and said to Su Zian, “You were right just now. I went to the Polar Abyss to eliminate demons and defend the way, but the one I eliminated was not the wolf tribe chief, but the snow demon tribe chief.”
Su Zian opened his mouth wide, looking shocked. Qin Yu continued in a sarcastic voice, “And as everyone knows, the wolf tribe chief is my contracted spirit beast. He has grown up with me since childhood. You can figure it out with your feet that I can’t kill him.”
“You didn’t hear these two loopholes and you didn’t answer the previous question. Su Zian, is this what you call worshipping me and growing up listening to my deeds?”
“Or is this just your excuse? An excuse to get me to accept you as my apprentice.” Qin Yu leaned over slightly and tapped his forehead, which was bleeding, with his fingertips. “Are you kowtowing desperately to force me to surrender and let me accept you as my apprentice?”
After Qin Yu finished speaking, Su Zian’s face turned pale, and his body, especially his hands, kept shaking. When everyone present saw it, how could they not understand.
“I…I didn’t mean to lie. I really admire Daojun…”
“You’re lying again. You’re a habitual liar.” Qin Yu interrupted Su Zian before he could finish.
After giving Su Zian an extremely cold look, Qin Yu walked towards the palace door. “Today you asked me to accept you as my disciple by worshipping me and kneeling down to kowtow. Otherwise, I would be called cold-blooded and heartless. If I accept you, will someone use the same trick to ask me to accept him as my disciple tomorrow?”
“It’s easy to accept a disciple. Do you think someone will use suicide to ask me to kill someone for him in the future? Otherwise, I would be a heartless and cold-blooded monster?”
Qin Yu said the last sentence to the disciples who passed the assessment.
“It’s possible.” A girl nodded. “After all, people are greedy. However, Daojun is not a monster. You are absolutely right. You are the most beautiful and more thoughtful than anyone else thinks!” After she finished speaking, the disciples beside her also nodded frantically to show their agreement.
“Well said, little girl.” Qin Yu gave her a smile, “Oh! That’s right!” Qin Yu turned to Yu Sheng as if he suddenly remembered, “Master Yu Feng is a master at hypocrisy and gossiping, and Su Zian is not bad either. Master Yu Feng must accept him as a disciple as you said before.” After saying that, he glanced at the ugly expressions of the two, smiled and walked out of Qiying Hall, and went straight back to Wanghan Peak where he lives.
“System, I have a guess…” Qin Yu was about to say something, and suddenly he felt the back of his hand was hot. He lowered his head and saw the red lines on the back of his hand. Qin Yu raised his eyebrows. If he remembered correctly, this should be…
He immediately looked up and looked forward as if he had sensed something, and saw a silver giant wolf suddenly jumped out of the empty place. Its shoulders were as tall as the waist of an adult, its hair was shiny silver, it was wild and its appearance was majestic.
As soon as the silver wolf saw Qin Yu, it rushed over with bright eyes and full of momentum, then stopped its limbs abruptly less than a meter away from Qin Yu, gently lowered its head to spit out the food in its mouth and raised its front limbs to hold it down.
Qin Yu lowered his head and took a look, slightly surprised. It was a rabbit, and it was still alive. “Is this the prey you caught for me, Cang?”
The silver wolf called Cang whimpered slightly, which meant to acknowledge.
Qin Yu patted his head gently, “Thank you, Cang.” Cang was the contracted spirit beast Qin Yu had mentioned, and it had been with Qin Yu for many years. “But haven’t I told you many times that I am fasting and don’t need food anymore.”
Cang tilted his head, looking like he didn’t understand. Qin Yu smiled helplessly. He was obviously very smart in other things, but why did he act stupid when it came to food?
Qin Yu was about to explain to Cang again, but suddenly found that Cang’s eyes were covered with a layer of white mist, “What happened?”
The system reminded him, “Maybe he was poisoned by the silk vine flower.” Qin Yu remembered that there were many silk vine flowers growing in the dense forest that Cang often went to. The juice of the silk vine flowers was poisonous and it seemed like Cang accidentally touched it.
The poison of the silk vine flower will not endanger people’s lives, but it will gradually make people blind. The blindness lasts for three months. However, there is an antidote. Qin Yu immediately sent a boy to the pharmacy to get the medicine.
But, “Is it used up?”
Qin Yu frowned, “I’ll go to the dense forest to find it.”
The antidote for the silk vine flower usually grows near it and it is a kind of grass. But compared with the bright and eye-catching appearance of the silk vine flower, this green grass is extremely inconspicuous. Qin Yu spent a little effort and finally found it.
He fed it to Cang, “You have to be careful next time, Cang. You can’t touch anything outside Wanghan Peak.”
Cang swallowed the antidote, whimpered and rubbed his head against Qin Yu. Qin Yu smiled and was about to pat him, but Cang suddenly pricked up his ears, protected Qin Yu behind him, bared his sharp teeth, and roared loudly at the front.
