Chapter 48 - Mo Li’s Evil Plo (2/2)
This Qin Nan’s cultivation is only the fifth-layer Body Tempering Realm, how did he become brothers with Gong Yang?
This Qin Nan is supposed to be a new disciple with no one to rely on. It’s fine if Xiao Qingxue is fond of him, but even Gong Yang is looking after him now?
“Sorry, sorry. We’ll leave now.” Although Mo Li had a ruthless attitude, he would not dare to face Gong Yang in a duel in the Hall of Life and Death. As a result, he had no choice but to hold in his anger and give a forced smile, before leaving the place, grabbing Ling Zixiao along with him.
If they continued to stay, both of them would most likely die from depression.
They had waited for three or four days in a row just to insult Qin Nan. Now that Qin Nan had finally appeared, why did they become the embarrassed ones?
After watching the two leaving, an icy expression flashed within Qin Nan’s eyes, who put his fists together and said, “Thank you, Brother Yang, without you, they would not give up so easily.”
Gong Yang let out a smile and waved his hand as if it was nothing significant and said, “Qin Nan, stop being so polite. It’s normal to help each other since we are friends. By the way, how did you and Mo Li become enemies?”
Gong Yang wore a curious expression; logically speaking, Qin Nan is only a new disciple, and Mo Li is an inner disciple, how could they have a grudge against each other?
Qin Nan instantly told Gong Yang what had happened before.
After listening to it, Gong Yang looked at Qin Nan with a weird expression and said, “How come you are so close with Xiao Qingxue?”
Qin Nan did not withhold the truth, who answered straight away, “Qingxue gave me a helping hand on multiple occasions throughout the journey here; it was all pure kindness.”
Gong Yang nodded his head without saying anything; a hint of hesitation was seen in his eyes.
Should I inform Qin Nan about Xiao Qingxue?
Immediately after, as Gong Yang remembered Qin Nan possessed a Scarlet-Fanged Purple Dragon Badge, he burst out laughing and shook his head to get rid of his thought.
In the meantime, a pleasant voice was heard, “Qin Nan, you’re done with your cultivation? Oh? Isn’t this Senior Brother Gong Yang?”
Xiao Qingxue approached from a distance; this time she was wearing a blue robe, the edges of the dress looked like a mist, which caused her to appear like a fairy. However, a confused expression was seen on her beautiful face.
It seems like Qin Nan and Gong Yang were having a friendly conversation, as if they are quite close to each other?
Since when did Qin Nan and Senior Brother Gong Yang get this close with each other?
“Oh? It’s Junior Sister Qingxue. I bumped into Qin Nan in the Skills Library, and we soon become friends with each other due to our matching personalities. Now that you’re here—plus the fact that I have something to attend to—allow me to excuse myself.” Gong Yang brought his fists together and left instantly without wasting any more time.
This caused Qin Nan to be slightly surprised, why did Gong Yang leave immediately after seeing Xiao Qingxue?
Xiao Qingxue was not bothered at all, who looked at Qin Nan with a pair of flickering eyes and said, “Qin Nan, you’re so lucky. You still don’t know Senior Brother Gong Yang’s identity yet, right? He is ranked top ten among the inner disciples; his Martial Spirit has reached the tenth-grade Huang rank. It’s incredibly powerful.”
Qin Nan was stunned; even though he knew Gong Yang was strong, he did not expect this Gong Yang to be this powerful.
No wonder Gong Yang had no respect for Mo Li just then; the difference between the two was huge.
“Ok, let’s put that aside.” Xiao Qingxue said in a serious tone, “Only five days are left until the Trial of Versatility. Come, follow me; you need to start practicing immediately. You must at least try your best to raise your cultivation to the sixth-layer Body Tempering Realm within these five days.”
After hearing this, Qin Nan’s face turned serious too; he nodded his head and followed Xiao Qingxue without wasting time.
My priority now is to improve my cultivation!
If not, in the upcoming Trial of Versatility, even if I have my Divine Battle Spirit, and a Perfection Stage of One with the Saber, I would still be mismatched against those super geniuses with a cultivation base of eighth-layer or tenth-layer Body Tempering Realm.
……
...Mystic Spirit Sect, inside an abode of one of the inner disciples…
…...
Mo Li and Ling Zixiao were seated together, with dull expressions on their faces.
In the past hour, they had barely said anything, which indicated how gloomy they were after what had happened previously.
“Senior Brother, I don’t care anymore.” Ling Zixiao had finally spoken up, with his eyes burning red, emitting a murderous aura, “As soon as the Trial of Versatility has begun, I will attack Qin Nan, suck his blood dry, and slash his bones; I want him to beg for his death; if not, my anger will not be relinquished!”
“Hmph!” Mo Li’s expression was twisted, as he said, “Idiot! I have a plan instead. Let’s collaborate with all the geniuses among the new disciples. We’ll all attack Qin Nan when the Trial of Versatility starts, granting him a guaranteed death!”
Ling Zixiao was shocked, and then refuted, “Working with other geniuses? Qin Nan is just a piece of trash, I can handle him by myself!”
Mo Li stared coldly at him and said, “All the disciples will be spread randomly at the start of the Trial of Versatility. Are you sure that you are able to find him? This is why we must work with other geniuses; as long as Qin Nan bumps into anyone of them, with his trashy cultivation base, he would die for sure.
“Besides that, you must keep this in mind; even if your cultivation is stronger than Qin Nan’s, you must be cautious and plan ahead—it’s no good if Qin Nan is able to escape in the end!”
Ling Zixiao inhaled sharply and said, “But, why would those geniuses be willing to help us?”
“You’re so brainless.” Mo Li shook his head and said in a cold tone, “Don’t forget, you’re a super genius with a ninth-grade Huang ranked Martial Spirit. Why would these new disciples offend you just merely because of Qin Nan? They do not dare to offend you; instead, they would be sucking up to you. This is only the first the reason. Secondly, the Third Elder is my father. Thirdly, if we provide sufficient benefits, together with the first and second reasons; I won’t need to say the rest…”
After saying this, Mo Li wore a cruel expression, “But I dare to say, if there are three hundred participants in this Trial of Versatility, there will be at least two hundred and seventy people who would accept our offer and deal with Qin Nan; that trash would have nowhere to hide—his death is guaranteed!”
After hearing the words, Ling Zixiao was staggered, but wore an excited expression.
Qin Nan, with this magnificent plot, what hope do you—a piece of trash—have to survive it?
