Male Inferiority and Female Supremacy in the World of Immortal Cultivation Chapter 120: 120. I am still a child
Chapter 120: 120. I am still a child.
Facing the obstruction of Taoist Yu Qing, Elder Yan dared not act rashly, frowning she said: “Yu Qing, are you really going to interfere with the internal affairs of the Law Enforcent Departnt?”
This was a very severe questioning. Once confird, even with her status as a True Disciple, she would be taken to the Heavenly Sword Peak for a reprimand.
“Yu Qing wouldn’t dare!”
Yu Qing quickly clasped her hands in a gesture of respect: “But Yu Qing has reported the matter to Master, and Master entrusted to convey a ssage to Elder Yan. Please be cautious in your actions, Elder, and do not act recklessly.”
As she spoke, she held out her jade hairpin, which emitted a glowing light.
Seeing that Yu Qing had even invoked True Master Yu Jian, Elder Yan was shocked.
Even though she knew Yu Qing would not lie, Elder Yan still grudgingly sensed the jade hairpin, indeed receiving the words conveyed by True Master Yu Jian.
Yu Qing could be disrespected, but True Master Yu Jian was one of the three great leaders of the Heavenly Sword Sect, second only to the Sect Master. Who would dare not give face to her?
Thus, even with reluctance, Elder Yan had no choice but to put off today’s issue.
“Yan Gulan has acted rashly, disturbing the True Master’s cultivation. This is truly a sin.”
Elder Yan clasped her hands toward the jade hairpin as a gesture of respect, then smiled at Yu Qing: “For such a trivial matter, to trouble the True Master to speak out, Yu Qing is really making a mountain out of a molehill.”
Though smiling, the sound was quite piercing.
Yu Qing, of course, knew this was Elder Yan expressing her dissatisfaction and could only offer an apologetic reply: “Yu Qing has acted brashly, please forgive , Elder Yan.”
Yu Qing lowered her stance, and Elder Yan couldn’t keep dwelling on this issue, but that didn’t an she would let it go.
Elder Yan looked down at Fang Zhou below and said indifferently: “Well then, for the sake of Yu Qing, I will extend your grace period for one more month. Move out on your own, next ti you won’t be so lucky to have soone help you.”
Fang Zhou pursed his lips, dropped his hands, and stayed silent.
He’d already cursed this old woman’s ancestors thoroughly in his mind. If you’re so capable, go find Ling Xiaoyue, have a confrontation with her.
Bullying , a re Qi Refining Realm, what skill is that?
I’m only fifteen years old, I’m still a child.
But now was not the ti for tough talk, Fang Zhou could only swallow this loss for now, waiting for the future to seek retribution.
After Elder Yan finished speaking, her figure disappeared with the wind, vanishing without a trace—truly as if she had never been there.
Those dozen or so disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect, who had been silent since Elder Yan’s arrival, all let out a sigh of relief upon seeing her leave, sending two of them over to gather up the scattered Spirit Swords.
Then they carried the unconscious Wang Xiuzhu and Li Yinghao onto the shuttle and swiftly left.
Once this group had left, the bustling Moon Viewing Peak finally quieted down again.
Yu Qing looked at Fang Zhou, unable to co up with any comforting words, and in the end, she could only ask: “Taoist Fang, are you all right?”
Fang Zhou shook his head and calmly replied: “Just this? It’s fine.”
This surprised Yu Qing. Although Elder Yan hadn’t used her full strength with that palm, it was aid to injure Fang Zhou, and she didn’t expect him to catch it unscathed—a feat even a typical Foundation Establishnt Realm cultivator wouldn’t manage.
And Fang Zhou seed to be just at the Qi Refinent Realm.
While it’s hard to tell the difference between Qi Refinent and Foundation Establishnt from the outside, there are subtle differences, and an expert could tell at a glance.
Fang Zhou was clearly in the Qi Refinent stage, not yet at Foundation Establishnt, but his strength was already far beyond that of an average Foundation Establishnt.
Is this the terrifying aspect of talent?
Yu Qing was sowhat silent. She was also considered a prodigy; otherwise, she wouldn’t have beco a True Disciple of True Master Yu Jian, but at the Qi Refinent stage, she wouldn’t dare to withstand a blow from the Innate Palm unhard.
Yu Qing originally took great pride in being the foremost True Disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect, but now she felt deeply ashad.
Indeed, there is always soone better out there. She had been too arrogant and resolved to be more cautious in her speech and diligent in her cultivation.
Fang Zhou hadn’t expected that he would inadvertently make a true genius feel ashad. If he knew, he would certainly laugh out loud thrice.
No matter how unrivaled your talents are, you still can’t beat the System Dad.
It’s proper to lie down and behave.
Fang Zhou had thought Yu Qing and Elder Yan were playing good cop, bad cop, yet it didn’t seem quite like that now.
He gathered himself and asked Yu Qing, “Does Elder Yan hold a grudge against my master?”
Yu Qing couldn’t just say there was a grudge, so she answered, “Elder Yan sparred with your esteed master two years ago and was… slightly inferior.”
Damn, that really is Ling Xiaoyue’s ss bringing trouble after two years.
But being slightly inferior is surely just Yu Qing trying to save face for Elder Yan. That old woman must have been beaten by Ling Xiaoyue into a state where she couldn’t take care of herself.
Unable to defeat Ling Xiaoyue, she turned her anger towards Fang Zhou instead.
Frowning, Fang Zhou looked at Yu Qing: “Isn’t this just seeking private revenge? The entry-level trial of your Heavenly Sword Sect clearly has an assessnt of one’s character. How did you end up recruiting such a person?”
Yu Qing was fairly embarrassed; Elder Yan was indeed seeking private revenge, as anyone with clear eyes could see. But she was acting under the banner of the Law Enforcent Departnt, so there was no issue legally.
Besides, the stories from when Elder Yan joined are ancient history, and people change, cultivators included.
Yet Yu Qing couldn’t stand there and say Elder Yan was a bad person, so she smoothed things over: “Elder Yan is just rather strict, that’s all.”
However, Fang Zhou was not satisfied: “Because she’s called Yan, she’s strict, so how do you explain soone with the surna Shi? Should soone nad Gou not bite you? She wants to slap to death, and you call that strictness. Does that an in the Heavenly Sword Sect people get slapped to death by her every day?”
Yu Qing thought for a mont, then cupped her fists and said to Fang Zhou: “Indeed, my words were inappropriate. Please, Taoist Fang, forgive .”
Yu Qing’s submissive deanor made Fang Zhou feel a bit embarrassed to continue his tirade.
After all, it was a matter of perspective for both sides. Yu Qing was caught in the middle and couldn’t be blad.
To bla her would be no different than being like the surna Yan.
Moreover, Yu Qing owed Fang Zhou nothing, and her willingness to co forward and speak on his behalf was already comndable.
This matter could only be solved by himself; he couldn’t count on others for help.
Yu Qing saw Fang Zhou silent, interpreting it as worry, and advised, “Taoist Fang, you should still notify your esteed master as soon as possible.”
Fang Zhou glanced at her and shook his head: “My master is away on business and won’t return for several months.”
Yu Qing was surprised, no wonder Elder Yan gave Fang Zhou a month-long deadline. Could it be she calculated that Ling Xiaoyue wouldn’t return for several months?
But wasn’t she afraid Ling Xiaoyue would stir up trouble upon her return?
Elder Yan might have other plans, but that was beyond Yu Qing’s guess. She was powerless to help Fang Zhou with his current predicant, unable to even offer a strategy.
“Taoist Fang, if you’re ever in trouble, feel free to co to Yujian Peak to find . I’ll do everything in my power to assist.”
Yu Qing could only offer such support as it was beyond her ability to do more.
Fang Zhou was moved by Yu Qing’s stance. This beauty clearly wasn’t just after his body. Though she might have the suspicion of luring him away from the Heavenly Sword Sect, at least her intentions were sincere.
“Taoist Yu Qing, thank you for your righteous words. You are a good person. We should have a candlelit night talk soti.”
Yu Qing, however, was puzzled by Fang Zhou’s thanks.
What did he an by having a candlelit night talk?
