Chapter 127 - The Strange Male Lead (1/2)

After the sect displayed their power to the father and son of the Bao Family, Lonemoon became more determined to teach the disciples in his sect how to cultivate properly. Each day, he brought the disciples to train at the arena. As they trained, they shouted encouragements in unison.

The aggressive and loud cheers spread throughout the entire sect, and especially into a certain palace wing.

Whenever the father and son of the Bao Family were faced with this scene, their faces became strangely green. After they found out that the Invincible Sect was filled with female body cultivators, their expressions became profoundly worse – there was a certain hopelessness in their eyes.

Father Niu went all out to kill any remnant of hope left in the father and son. The only thing difficult for them to explain was why their disciples all turned out to be body cultivators. What was obvious, though, was that the emotionally injured father and son had not thought too much about this. The disciples’ strength and skill continued to improve. What was most important was that they formed their immortal bones.

Six months had passed since the entire sect ascended to the immortal realm. Yu Hong and Siyu’s cultivations improved immensely and they certainly had hope of forming immortal bones. The other disciples did show signs of improvement, but their foundations were far too shaky and there was little hope of them forming their immortal bones.

They could only be counted as Earth Immortals after they formed their immortal bones. Lonemoon had to think of something quickly. Of course, he had to focus first on the problem concerning the male lead. No matter what, they could not get too close to this male lead – especially Yi Qing.

They were lucky that the child was still young. If he was not with his grandfather or father, the child will be taken care of by Yu Hong. He did not interact with Yi Qing at all.

“Master…” Yi Qing put down a plate of freshly cooked food. Uncharacteristically, instead of going back into the kitchen, he sat down at the table and looked at Shen Ying. “Could you tell these few days?”

“Er… not yet.” Shen Ying shook her head. “Wait a little longer!”

“I’m actually just guessing as well.” Yi Qing frowned. “There was nothing strange about that child these eight years. I must be thinking too much, right?”

“That might not be true,” Shen Ying said as she filled her mouth with two spoonfuls of food. Then, she continued, “I don’t know that many people.”

Yi Qing looked back at her in shock. “Master, you’re saying-”

“Don’t rush.”

“Yes.”

“Wait!” Lonemoon interrupted, his face twisted. “What are you talking about? Why don’t I understand anything?” Were they just talking about Ning Zi’an? They must have been!

“We’re talking about the identity of the male lead!” Shen Ying answered.

“What identity?” Lonemoon pondered. Wasn’t it Bao Feiping’s son? Who else could be the male lead?

“Huh? Didn’t I tell you?” Shen Ying scratched her head, confused. “The other day, when Chef was helping him remove his Primordial Soul Sword Qi, he found something special in his body.”

“…” When did you freaking tell me this? How the hell would I have found out?

Lonemoon suddenly felt an other-worldly grievance.

“What exactly is going on?”

“Chef, tell him.” Shen Ying continued to eat her food.

“Yes, Master!” Yi Qing nodded and turned to Lonemoon. “The other day, when I helped him get rid of his Primordial Soul Sword Qi, I found his sword Qi in a mess but it was not beyond repair. At first, I thought it was due to him still being young and did not yet know how to suppress his sword Qi. But after using my immortal Qi to get rid of the sword Qi, I stumbled into his dantian exceptionally smoothly – no resistance whatsoever. This is very unusual.”

Lonemoon pondered over this. After awhile, he understood. “You’re saying… even if he did not know how to suppress his sword Qi, there should have been some sort of natural resistance when your immortal Qi entered his dantian, even if he did not yet know the proper technique to resist? And if he did know how to suppress his sword Qi, it would not be exploding randomly?”

“That’s right,” Yi Qing confirmed.. “Not only that, when I was getting rid of his sword Qi, I felt him co-operating with my efforts even though he was unconscious. There was no resistance from his body at all. At least, not until my immortal Qi accidentally swept past his divine perception.
