Chapter 227 - A Message from Old Shan (1/2)
“Stop right there!”
Li Hong’s expression changed as she snapped, “Ouyang Jun, your father is still in the process of leveling up to the Martial Dominator Realm. We have yet to know the outcome. If you were to challenge Qin Nan at this time, you would surely be punished by the Great Elder and the Honourable Elder.”
“This…”
Li Hong’s words felt like a bucket of cold water pouring down on Ouyang Jun’s head, awakening him.
“I forgot about that.” Ouyang Jun withdrew his murderous intent and said with a gloomy expression, “However, I shall not let Qin Nan have his way. Since I can’t do it myself, it’s time for the geniuses of the Jun Alliance to prove their usefulness! If Qin Nan were to have a sense of self-acknowledgment, I will spare his pathetic life. Otherwise, tell the geniuses of the Jun Alliance to fight him at the Hall of Life and Death, there’s no way he can survive that!”
Li Hong’s expression returned to calm, “As long as you are not involved.”
After hearing this, Xiao Qingxue’s face was filled with a hint of hopelessness and a slight struggle.
……
……
...Inside the third residence...
Qin Nan straightened his face and slowly spoke, “You guys are asking me to flee?”
“Well, can’t say it’s fleeing.” Gong Yang let out a wry smile in his heart, as he knew there were no other alternatives, who said while clenching his teeth, “Since the Sect Leader is trying to break the barrier of the Martial Dominator Realm, even though there is no way of knowing if he will succeed or not, as a precaution, you should temporarily leave the Mystic Spirit Sect. If the Sect Leader ends up failing, you can return then.”
“Qin Nan, don’t feel that it’s shameful to do so, a true man knows when to yield or not.”
Xiao Leng, Chu Yun, and the rest spoke too, “We all know that you are a prideful, fearless person who never lower your head. However, it is different this time, your choice of leaving is just temporary. As the saying goes, yielding for a moment would calm the wind and the wave. Take a step back, and you will find the sea to be broad and the sky to be clear!”
This was the purpose of Gong Yang and the rest paying him a visit.
They hoped Qin Nan would leave the sect and hide for a period, and plan his next step accordingly based on how the situation developed.
Only then would Qin Nan’s safety be guaranteed.
Qin Nan felt a warmth breeze flowing within his heart after hearing the words. He knew that Gong Yang and the rest were concerned for his safety.
“One more thing, I didn’t tell you guys before.” Qin Nan did not agree to their suggestions straight away, “The reason I conceded was because someone asked me to do so. She has been doing me lots of favors, thus there was no way I could reject her request.”
Gong Yang and the rest were startled.
They initially thought Qin Nan chose to surrender after knowing this shocking news, but they did not expect it to be an act of repaying one’s kindness.
They were not stupid, they could easily tell that the person was most likely to be Xiao Qingxue!
Gong Yang let out a deep breath and wore a stern look on his face, “Qin Nan, I know what you are implying with your words. You are trying to tell us that you never wanted to back off. However, it’s different this time. People are already being so smug even before the Sect Leader has become a Martial Dominator. Once he succeeds, it would serve as a calamity for those who stand in his way, especially you! Therefore, for once, you should leave the Mystic Spirit Sect!”
“If you are not willing to, please do it anyway on account of our friendship. I beg you to leave the sect.”
It was the first time for Qin Nan to detect a hint of imploring from Gong Yang’s eyes.
“Qin Nan, we beg you to leave the Mystic Spirit Sect too!”
Xiao Leng, Chu Yun, Huang Long, Mo Zishan, and Xu You all spoke without any hesitation.
Qin Nan’s heart shuddered, as he had not expected Gong Yang and the rest to act in such a way. In the midst of being touched, he could not help but hollowly laughed in his heart.
What should I do now?
Should I reject the request of my friends?
