Chapter 263: Identity Medallion for A Guest Elder (1/2)

“Hua Tian?” Although Shi Qing and Cai Yue had both met Nie Tian before at the Blood Skull’s headquarters, their only impression of him was no more than a peculiar young man who had somehow upset the spiritual energy in the Lesser Heaven cultivation rooms.

Neither of them took Nie Tian as a resourceful and competent man.

Therefore, they had never attached much importance to him.

However, Wang Zhuo and Zhao Feng had recently witnessed Nie Tian beat enemies in battle, so they didn’t seemed very surprised.

All the other Blood Skull experts, including Gu Yu, hadn’t even heard of Nie Tian before. Thus, it was only natural that they seemed rather confused.

What could an early Heaven stage young man possibly rely on to rescue Pei Qiqi, who was known as a supreme fighter in the Void Illusion Mountain Range, and their young lord?

Under everyone’s gazes, Nie Tian seemed surprisingly calm. He shrugged and said with a modest tone, “Actually, I only did what I could, which was next to nothing.”

Cai Yuan chuckled, as he didn’t intend to give a further explanation. Rather, he turned to Gu Yu and asked, “Uncle Gu, do you have an identity medallion for a guest elder on you?”

Gu Yu went blank for a brief moment before taking out an identity medallion and handing it to him. “What do you need it for?”

Cai Yuan grabbed the command medallion and took a deep breath. Then, with a solemn expression on his face, he presented it to Nie Tian and said, “Hua Tian, as the young lord of the Blood Skull, I officially offer you the position of a guest elder of the Blood Skull. Here’s your identity medallion. It’s a token of your status!”

After seeing Cai Yuan make such a earnest offer, all of the Blood Skull members’ expressions flickered.

Normally, the Blood Skull had rules regarding making someone their guest elder. A strict assessment of the candidate was usually mandatory.

In the Blood Skull’s eyes, they would only give such an honor to truly powerful figures, who they deemed they couldn’t afford to offend and wanted to draw to their side.

Up to this day, they had never invited an early Heaven stage Qi warrior to be their guest elder.

Nie Tian was an exception.

If it weren’t Cai Yuan, who had presented the identity medallion to Nie Tian, Gu Yu and Shi Qing might have already stepped in and interrupted.

However, both Gu Yu and Shi Qing placed great trust and respect in Cai Yuan, and believed that his decisions were usually well-founded, except when they involved Pei Qiqi.

Cai Yuan must have his reasons.

“Thanks.” Nie Tian took the identity medallion and, under everyone’s gaze, put it away without even taking a close look at it.

“Great! We’re on the same boat now.” Cai Yuan smiled and turned to Gu Yu, saying, “The targets of this Dark Moon operation were Qiqi and her teleportation portal.”

He went on to explain the situation to Gu Yu and Shi Qing in detail, but he downplayed the part where they had escaped from Ma Jiu and his men.

“The Dark Moon sent many of their best warriors to kill us,” Cai Yuan said with a smile. “Yet, not only did they return empty-handed, they’ve even lost quite a few of their own. Uncle Gu, I deem that now that you’re here, we might as well give them a lesson they won’t forget! “They deserve our counterattack for making such a move on me and Qiqi!”

Gu Yu nodded and agreed, “We definitely can’t just pretend it didn’t happen.”

Afterwards, Gu Yu, Shi Qing, and Cai Yuan had a private discussion regarding their operation against the Dark Moon.

As they did, Gu Yu took out a Sound Stone and communicated with the Blood Skull members he had sent to search for Ma Jiu and his Dark Moon members, telling them to report back as soon as they found anything.

Since Nie Tian and Pei Qiqi didn’t participate in the discussion, they glanced around with bored expressions on their faces.

At that moment, Cai Yue, who was dressed as a young man, quietly approached Pei Qiqi, and whispered to her while staring into her eyes, “It’s because of you again! Otherwise, my brother wouldn’t have been trapped in such a perilous situation! How many times have you put him in danger already? If my brother ever gets hurt because of you again, I won’t let you off!”

Cai Yue unleashed her protest so fiercely that she looked like a baby tiger, baring fangs and brandishing claws towards Pei Qiqi.

Pei Qiqi, however, raised her chin to look up into the sky, showing her slender, jade-like neck, but didn’t utter a word. She treated Cai Yue like nothing more than air.

Seeing Pei Qiqi give no response, Cai Yue became even angrier, but she was aware that she actually couldn’t do anything to her.
