Chapter: 1242 (1/2)

AST 1242 – Problem Solved, Reputation, Inquiring on the Heart of the Continents

At the moment when Qing Shui heard the old man’s words, he knew that his only option was to give up. Despite so, he still felt really surprised. The reason was, the battle might have seemed to end up as draw today but it could still be considered as his victory as he was the one who challenged the Saint Child.

This battle consolidated Qing Shui’s strength and made it even more stable. It helped him improved a lot. It would have been so sad if he really died together with his opponent as he didn’t want to die yet. It wouldn’t be long until his strength would surpass the Saint Child.

Actually, Qing Shui felt really happy deep down when he saw the old man interrupt the match. Fu Yantian on the other hand, was really depressed. Originally, before the match even started, he already felt that he was defeated. What was worse was, he never expected that the result of the battle would turn out this way at that time. Hence, deep within his heart, it could be said that he already felt that he completely lost.

“Little Fu, say it, what’s wrong?” The old man smiled and asked Fu Yantian.

“He has casted a restriction on my brother. His lifeforce is dissipating slowly. I want him to help remove the restriction he put on him.” Fu Yantian felt really depressed. As he spoke up to this point, he felt a bit helpless.

“Oh!” The old man responded and looked towards Qing Shui.

“I wonder if there has been any hostility between Qing Shui and Little Fu’s brother?” The old man asked Qing Shui with the usual smile on his face.

“He has an attitude problem. He backed away from his promise after losing his bet. I was left with no choice to do so.” Qing Shui said slowly.

“Well, that means that you guys don’t hold too much grudges with each other.” The old man revealed an even brighter smile.

“Yes!” Fu Yantian argued quickly.

Qing Shui was stunned and responded: “Yup..”

Qing Shui never expected for Fu Yantian to change his mind so quickly. He intended to make Qing Shui release the restriction he set on his brother without having to give away anything.

“As the saying goes: ‘It’s better to squash enmity rather than keeping it alive.’ Everyone is a part of the Heaven Secret Academy. How about, since your match today ended in a draw, we will let Qing Shui come up with an appropriate condition to help Little Fu’s brother release his restriction. Does this idea sound good?” The old man said while looking at the two.

“Alright, it’s appropriate for him to suggest a suitable condition. I will treat it as teaching Little Ting a lesson.” Fu Yantian put more emphasis in the word ‘suitable’.

“Well then, Qing Shui, do you have any objections towards it?” The old man looked at Qing Shui.

“No!” This was a face which Qing Shui should spare. He also voluntarily gave him face. No matter what, the old man was considered to have saved his life previously.

“Alright then, Qing Shui, state your condition!” The old man said hurriedly.

“The condition is really simple, I am just going to follow my condition which we came to agreement with before the match started.” Qing Shui said with a smile.

The old man was stunned. Fu Yantian too, revealed a very unsightly expression. However, he was someone with self-esteem, hence, he clenched his teeth and nodded: “I promise you. I hope that you can help my brother release his restriction.”

“I will!” Qing Shui smiled and said.

……

“Just who is this Qing Shui? He is way too powerful!”

“This is my first time seeing someone not showing any concern towards the Saint Child!”

“Exactly, some elders, or even grand elders were very formal to the Saint Child. This time, it could be considered that he was completely slapped by someone else. I wonder if the people from the Saint Child Gang would still continue to act forcefully in the future.”

“Guess this time, the Lord Sect is going to make a huge deal out of this. No, I think the Breezing Wind Veranda will be the one to do it instead.”

……

Discussions could be heard continuously from below. Fu Yanting on the other hand, also went up the stage. Qing Shui effortlessly helped him removed his restriction. However, he also added on a few of his words. “It’s useless to rely on someone else. Even the closest person to you will not be able to help you forever. It doesn’t matter if a person ends up dragging down another person, but the kind of people who brainlessly try to drag someone else down the drain doesn’t even deserve to live.”

Originally, Fu Yanting already felt as if his heart was wounded by a sword. The reason why his brother lost all of his faces today was precisely because of him. The mysterious feeling which he used to give other people had also disappeared. This caused quite a considerable damage to the Saint Child Gang itself. It was very likely that a lot of people would leave the gang. This would also change a lot of people’s original intentions to join the Saint Child Gang.

The other forces would also more or less repelled the Saint Child Gang. The reason being that, anyone could tell that Qing Shui had huge potential. In the future, he would definitely surpass the Saint Child. Also, the battle between the Saint Child and Qing Shui would also never disappear. Hence, to judge the hour and size up the situation, they would definitely get close to Qing Shui and the Breezing Wind Veranda.

“Since things have already been solved, I hope that you two can be friends and help each other. You guys are the future of the Heaven Secrets Academy. Failure means nothing as long as you learn to stand back up. There is no one who never failed. Just because you guys compete against each other, it doesn’t necessarily make you two enemies. There are still huge benefits from looking for a rival. Don’t look into problems too simply.” The old man said.

Fu Yantian, who was originally feeling depressed, turned bright as soon as he heard the old man’s words. He unconsciously gripped his fists tightly. The main reason why he ended up with a tie with Qing Shui was because Qing Shui was someone extremely low profile. If Qing Shui had been the head of the Lord Sect, things would have been more easily dealt with as his abilities would be more widely known.

Since the beginning, he was already in the dark about Qing Shui’s abilities. As Fu Yantian thought about all these, he slowly calmed down his mind. Today’s failure might not be a bad thing. It’s just as the old man said, he could find himself a rival this way.

The old man left. Qing Shui on the other hand, left towards the direction of the Breezing Wind Veranda. The Fu Clan brothers also left, leaving behind only the crowds below. A lot of people were having discussions. It was just that Qing Shui wasn’t in the mood to listen to them.

“Father!” Qing Sha happily approached Qing Shui and grabbed him.
