Chapter 121

Last Resort

As Chengfeng and Grand Senior Brother stared into each other's eyes, they noticed the strong fiery determination within both of them.

Grand Master Senior slowly nodded his head as he pointed to a chamber beside the hall. “Junior Brother Qin, bring Junior Brother Li along and retrieve two sets of Cangjian's cultivation robes and his homework scripture.”

Qin Mieqin nodded and gestured towards Chengfeng, signalling him to follow along.

Before they left, Su Yuehan couldn't help but exclaim, “Make it six sets!”

Qin Mieqin and the turned around to look at her. Yuehan smiled dryly, “We have three people, one person with two sets each so we can alternate them.”

Ouyang Nan angrily looked at Xiaobao and spoke, “He's cultivating too? Isn't he a magical pet?”

To which Yuehan replied, “So what if he's a magical pet? Whoever said that magical pets can't cultivate?”

Those who did not understand looked at Xiaobao, visibly confused.

Su Yuehan quietly nudged Xiaobao with her feet, hinting him to speak. He glanced at her, but she quickly glared back. A reluctant Xiaobao started to helplessly bark, “Woof woof woof! Woof woof, woof woof woof woof!”

Everyone stared in shock. However, Chengfeng almost failed to contain his laughter.

Ouyang Nan laughed angrily and asked, “What is he saying!”

Yuehan delightfully replied, “He's saying, even a magical pet is a part of Cangjian Court! He can lend a helping hand!”

Chengfeng, who was trying his best to keep a straight face, glared at Yuehan. “Look at you! You're even qualified as a translator!”

Yuehan giggled, then proceeded to pat Xiaobao on his head. Xiaobao was dumbfounded, but Yuehan nonchalantly explained to the other disciples, “Our family pet is a good boy, he can understand humans too! Look! Come, Xiaobao, give me your hand!”

Xiaobao stared daggers at Yuehan, whispering, “Enough…”

As soon as Yuehan glared back, he immediately gave in. “…Woof woof woof!” he barked.

The disciples who stood on the side were dumbfounded. They couldn't even determine if they were stupefied by the humorous turn of events, or if they were stupefied by Yuehan's beautiful smile.

Cangjian Court was full of men; it was a miracle that a woman had appeared before them. Not to mention one as beautiful as Yuehan. At that moment, most of the disciples of Cangjian Court couldn't take their eyes off of her as they admired her every move.

Grand Senior Brother furrowed his brows as he looked at Qin Mieqin. Mieqin's facial expression was somewhat awkward as he quietly whispered an explanation to Grand Brother Senior. With a loud grunt, Grand Senior Brother exclaimed, “Blasphemy! Brother Junior Qin, hurry up and revise this rule of the Spiritual Mountain Sect this instant! And inform the other courts of this revision as well. We cannot allow others to use this loophole for their advantage in the future!”

He was mindblown that Chengfeng could even think of taking in a human being like a magical pet! This was greatly unexpected because, during their decennial Daqi Cultivation Tournament, partic.i.p.ants are allowed to bring their magical pets to their fight. If the magical pet was a human being, and this human being has a higher than average cultivation level, this would be extremely unfair to the other partic.i.p.ants!

After all, even if a magical pet was strong, its mental capacity was still limited. That was why being paired up with a human would be far more advantageous compared to pairing up with an actual pet.

But Grand Senior Brother's response was unexpected to Chengfeng. He was a man of strong principle and virtue.

Grand Senior Brother nodded to Mieqin, “Give him six sets, give him however many sets he asks. If there is anything else that he needs, as long as Cangjian Court has it, give it to him!”

Mieqin nodded as he brought Chengfeng, Yuehan and Xiaobao to the side chamber of the hall.

When Chengfeng and the rest had left, Ouyang Nan urgently approached Grand Brother Senior with Qiu Chuqiu as they exclaimed in unison, “Grand Brother Senior! This man cannot be trusted!”

An Tong chimed in as well, “That's right, he absolutely cannot be trusted! He's definitely a traitor!”

Grand Brother Senior squinted his eyes at him. “How are you so sure? What proof do you have?”

An Tong was only purely trying to vent his personal grudge towards Chengfeng. So, of course, he had no evidence! But if they were to have him explain, he wouldn't be able to speak about the humiliation that Chengfeng had put him through.

An Tong stuttered, “I-I-… It's just an intuition!”

Grand Senior Brother proceeded to slide his hand into his sleeves as he asked, “Alright, guess how many fingers am I pointing right now?”

An Tong stared at his senior dumbfoundedly. “Grand Senior Master, I have yet to cultivate the magical eye… How would I know?”

Grand Senior Brother replied, “Weren't you so sure of your intuition just a second ago? Why not give it a go?”

An Tong mumbled, “One… Two… Three… No, no! Four! No! Five fingers…”

Grand Senior Brother asked once again, “How many fingers!”

An Tong smiled bitterly, “Grand Senior Brother, stop messing with me… If I say the correct number and you change your answer, wouldn't I be wrong either way?”
