Chapter 59: Aftermath (1/2)

When Yang Wei returned to Elder Jing, he wasn't surprised to see many more corpses piling up in one corner.

They were all from the Purple Scorpion Sect and Elder Pao Huang held a disbelief expression on his face as he stared at Elder Jing who was casually standing still.

”Hmm, you're back already.” Elder Jing said softly when she saw Yang Wei approaching closer to her.

Yang Wei nodded his head and replied, ”Mhmm, just an exhausted old man, nothing too difficult to kill.”

Lian Xinyue gasped in shock when she heard Yang Wei's remark on killing a Nascent Soul cultivator to be nothing difficult.

'Yang Wei is clearly in the Qi Condensation realm so how is it possible for him to kill a cultivator that's higher than him by three realms?' Lian Xinyue questioned inwardly as her mouth was wide open.

Lian Xinyue didn't know about Xiao Wei, the battle spirit that Yang Wei has hidden specifically to avoid others from learning his secret so she was confused about how he killed Elder Du Hanli.

However, Elder Jing knew about this so she wasn't surprised about the result.

”You still took more time than I expected for you to finish off Elder Du Hanli, so for your punishment...” Elder Jing said before sending him a mental transmission to finish her last words.

”You shall cook dinner for me tonight.”

Yang Wei gladly smiled and said, ”It'll be my pleasure to do that for you.” Afterward, he started helping the other disciples to clean up the battlefield.

While Yang Wei helped the others out, Lian Xinyue could no longer resist her curiosity as she approached Elder Jing.

”E-Elder Jing did you really believe Yang Wei was capable enough to kill a Nascent Soul Cultivator,” Lian Xinyue asked, hoping to receive some information to clear her doubts.

However, Elder Jing's expression darkened when Lian Xinyue dared to doubt the abilities of Yang Wei.

”You should practice hard yourself to see if you can achieve the feat that Yang Wei did instead of doubting him.” Elder Jing said and vanished from her position, leaving the dazed Lian Xinyue.

'W-Why did Elder Jing get mad at me? I was simply asking for clarification.' Lian Xinyue asked inwardly as she couldn't understand the sudden change in behavior from Elder Jing.

Elder Jing was quiet most of the time unless it was a disciple accepting her mission and failed to meet her standard would she get mad and thrashed them harshly.

This was the first time that Elder Jing got angry at someone for something else other than messing up her alchemy experience.

Lian Xinyue sneaked a glance at Yang Wei who was looting the corpse and asked inwardly, 'Just what is his relationship with Elder Jing?'
