Chapter 1 part 4 (1/2)
“Little Qi[1]!” After leaving Sue Kirin’s room, Qi Qiqi was called towards the main hall by someone.
“Uhm?”
Qi Qiqi stopped and looked towards where the voice came from.The one who called her appears from the shadow of a tree. It was a woman that looked about 20 years old. She had long, fire-like red hair was tied into a ponytail, a stern appearance that made her look very experienced, and she wore a suit covered in charcoal ash.
“Sister Ting! It was you!” Qi Qiqi seemed happy to see her. While in public places the two referred to each other in the fas.h.i.+on appropriate their stations. In private, however, they called each other by nicknames, a sign of their good relations.h.i.+p.
“So…,” Li Wanting looked at the Snow Watch Tower a short distance away from them and directly asked ”have you found a place for the Little Ancestor to stay?”
In the past, the Snow Watch Tower was the home of the sect’s patriarchs and ancestors. Although it wasn’t very large and was by no means luxurious, the building fancied a chic garden style[2].
“Uhm, ah…...Yeah, I found a place for her.” Qi Qiqi’s eyes were a bit uncertain, something Li Wanting‘s didn’t miss.
“Uh, Little Qi, you wouldn’t have… possibly done something disrespectful to the Little Ancestor, right?”
“H-how could that be possible?!”
“So you did do something?”
“No, no I didn’t! I just... I just punched her one time is all.”
Qi Qiqi felt uncomfortable being stared at by Li Wanting, so she looked away, and subconsciously started playing with her dress.
Li Wanting sighed, shook her head, and facepalmed herself:
“I knew it….That little ancestor looks ditzy; you couldn’t hold your temper... ” Li Wanting knocked Qi Qiqi on the head and continued to lecture her.
“EVEN SO! She is our ancestor; she is the elder of our sect! How could you possibly use force against her? Your impulsive temperament will get you killed someday! ”
“I, I got it!” Qi Qiqi touched the spot where she was whacked and conceded with teary eyes.
“That’s my cutie!” Li Wanting laughed and started ruffling Qi Qiqi’s hair.
“Stop stop!” Qi Qiqi pulled off Li Wanting’s hand, a trace of anger evident in her voice.
“Come on; now my hair is all messed up!”
“Aw, how cold.”
“By the way, who are you going to ask for clean up this mess you made?” Li Wanting asked with a devilish voice having suddenly remembered.
Qi Qiqi was stunned before vaguely replying, “Sister Luo. ”
“Oh, so you’re planning on having Sister Luo clean up after you again?”
“What else can I do! Sister Luo’s mild temperament is best for dealing with that a.s.shole!”
“Ahahaha, you just called our little ancestor an a.s.shole, if old man Liu Chenzong heard that, you’re sure to have gotten an earful.”
“It’s alright; I faked pretty well when I was in front of Elder Liu.”
“Well, seems like you failed today.”
Qi Qiqi’s smiling face vanished as if she’d lost her faith in response to Liu Wanting’s words.
“It’s all because of that a.s.shole!” Qi Qiqi gnashed her teeth as she recalled how Sue Kirin made her curse in front of everyone.
“Anyway, our little ancestor must have an excellent temper, considering you still find yourself in one piece after having punched her.”
“That is not the case…...Qi Qiqi thought as her face contorted into a strange expression.
“Well, what happened then? Isn’t that what happened?”
“I don’t know... she lost consciousness after I punched her...”
“WHAT?”
Qi Qiqi nodded her head shyly. Li Wanting looked stunned and taunted her.
“Well done! To think you would even throw this terrible mess that can't be even more terrible to Luo Qing and then escape without a trace.”
“What else can I do? I don’t know why, but for some reason, I feel like punching her in the face whenever I start talking with the little ancestor! Qi Qiqi responded as if she’d given up.
“No matter what, you must go apologize to little ancestor after she wakes up!”
“Okay okay, I got it!”
“Anyway, was she really knocked unconscious by a single punch of yours? Did you go all out?”
“Why would I use all of my strength!”
“Then how come she fell unconscious?”
Li Wanting’s words reminded Qi Qiqi.This little ancestor was a peer of the founder of the Tian Xuan Temple, her great-grandfather.
Great grandfather once mentioned that there was a little ancestor closed up within the Sword Hill to practice while she was still young. Since no one within Tian Xuan Temple knew of her existence, she must have been holed up for at least 80 years. In other words, this little ancestor may look like a child, but she was actually 80 years old if not older. In fact, she must have already achieved a strong cultivation base for her to return to her younger form.
The power rankings for warriors are divided into four stages, the Mortal stage, Earth stage, Heaven stage, and the Celestial Immortal boundary. Among those stages, the Celestial Immortal is a fantasy that every cultivator wishes to achieve. For one to use the skill to regain one’s former youth they must at least be in the Heaven stage. Therefore, the little ancestor’s power must not be lower than the Heaven stage. How could an Earth stage fighter like herself, beat a Heaven stage master into a coma? Qi Qiqi thought it was very strange.
“What’s the matter?” Li Wanting asked. Qi Qiqi nodded and told her what was on her mind.
“Little Qi, are you doubting the ident.i.ty of the little ancestor? ”
“It’s not really her ident.i.ty that I’m questioning, she is in possession of great grandfather’s Jade, and she walked out of the Sword Hill, neither of which are easy to accomplish.”
Although the Jade could have been obtained by any number of methods, walking into the guarding sword formation of the sword hill is not an easy task. Only a grandmaster of the Celestial Immortal level could do so without taking any damage.
“So, you doubt the little ancestor's strength?”
“Not doubt, I just find it strange! Besides, her real strength is also quite significant.”
In Jiang Hu, it is not just the hardness of the fist that decides victory or defeat, but also
