Chapter: 1243 (1/2)
AST 1243 – Yang Force, Heaven Secrets Courtyard, Palace Lord, Discussion
The Eldest Princess looked at Qing Shui’s serious expression and smiled: “Thank you for your kindness. Even if I do have these kinds of thoughts, I’d only be able to achieve them after many years. There will be a lot of changes as time goes on. Why don’t we just go with the flow?”
Qing Shui didn’t say anything more. He smiled: “I’ll listen to you then, but I will still try my best to help you improve your strength. I know a few medicinal pills as well as acupuncture, which might be of help to you. By then, you might be strong enough to do it. It’s just a matter of whether you want to or not.”
“Alright, this time, you can been considered an enemy of the Saint Child. The brothers in the Fu Clan will definitely think of ways to deal with you. You guys may have seemed to reconcile today, but more things are definitely bound to happen. Hence, you must be careful.” In the Heaven Secrets Academy, the Eldest Princess still knew about the Fu Clan’s personality. Even if Fu Yantian and his brother didn’t do anything themselves, the people behind them would still take action.
The Fu Clan was also a famous clan within the Heaven Secrets Academy. There would be people from Fu Clan in the Elder and Custodian Associations, and past members had been Supreme Elder. Not only that, but Fu Yantian also had hope of becoming the leader of Heaven Secrets Academy in the future. By then, the entire Fu Clan would become even more glorious. Hence, if an enemy were to appear out of nowhere, they would definitely try to kill him by all means.
Actually, the Fu Clan wasn’t the only one who harboured this kind of thoughts. Other forces shared similar ambitions. The Heaven Secrets Academy was a big fat piece of meat that anyone would want to get their hands on. The Eldest Princess was only trying to reveal some of the situation to Qing Shui.
“It will be alright. It’s best if they don’t provoke me. If they do, I will teach them very quickly that doing so comes with a disastrous cost.” This time, it could already be considered that Qing Shui had given face to Headmaster Cao by not cutting off Fu Yanting’s hands. Perhaps, this was face he had needed to give.
Even though he let Fu Yanting off today, there was the chance that he would do it again. There wasn’t really an allotted time to the reconciliation between Qing Shui and Fu Yantian that the old man in purple lion gown had brought. Things were considered to have been solved back then, as long as both parties had come to an agreement at that time. Besides, the old man was aware that the two shared rivalries with each other. Hence, it was impossible for the two to live peacefully together.
A sect’s lords and head, particularly that of a huge sect, would need to go through the baptism of blood. They would need to go through ruthless battles and massacre in order to climb up to a high position. Getting a high position wasn’t impossible to achieve with peace, but one need to make everyone obey, or at least have a majority of people feel fear.
The first thing to do in order to accomplish this was to become much more powerful than all others, to the point that they wouldn’t even have the courage to fight. However, this was easier said than done. There were multiple geniuses in this world. Besides, warriors would also not be able to raise their strength without going through battles and massacres.
Hence, almost all sects in the continents would send their disciples out to gain experience through fighting against demonic beasts or other human warriors. This was really crucial. The sect would even motivate their disciples to battle among themselves, as long as there was no killing.
“I believe that very soon, you will be strong enough to do so. Since you don’t fancy the Breezing Wind Veranda, I will stop forcing you to do it.” The Eldest Princess smiled as she put down the silver fork in her hand.
Actually, prior to this, Qing Shui had been observing her eating for quite some time. She looked very elegant while drinking her soup and eating her food. Furthermore, her movements also looked really natural. Qing Shui really enjoyed this feeling. Halfway through the meal, the Eldest Princess would also lift up her head and look at Qing Shui a few times. However, Qing Shui continued to maintain his natural expression. Within his clear eyes, there were no traces of evil intentions. He only seemed to be stunned by her beauty. Or maybe he did have some dirty though, just that he managed to hide them well.
After all, her pink cherry lips, and that alluring lip line with the pink and fragrant tongue that could be seen from time to time could still cause Qing Shui to imagine some inappropriate scenes. Nonetheless, he didn’t leak out any of those thoughts through his expression.
……
It was only past noon. Both Qing Shui and Qing Sha had just arrived in their own courtyard. Upon arrival, they noticed that there was an old man already standing there. It was none other than the old man in purple colored lion gown,. Prior to this, Qing Shui has already heard from the Eldest Princess that the higher-ups from Heaven Secrets Academy would come to look for himself. But he never expected for it to be so soon. On top of that, it was even an old man.
“I came without any invitation. I hope this doesn’t bother you.” The old man revealed a happy smile upon seeing Qing Shui.
“I’m always free. If senior wants to see me, you could have sent someone here to tell me about it.” Qing Shui answered with a smile. He knew that this old man was very powerful. Even though he was unclear about exactly how strong the old man was, he was definitely someone to be reckoned with in the Heaven Secret Academy.
“Why don’t you come to the Heaven Secrets Courtyard with me? There’s something which our lord would like to talk to you about.” The old man in the purple lion gown went straight to the point.
“Alright, little brat, go back into the house first. I will be back soon.”
“Alright!” Qing Sha nodded and immediately went back to the courtyard.
“The little girl has a very heavy pernicious aura.” After Qing Sha left, the old man said softly.
“Yeah, it’s a lot better now. At least now, she is able to maintain her own composure.”
“Yes, she has yet to join the Heaven Secrets Academy, I suppose? I wonder if you intend for her to do so?”
Qing Shui knew that the Heaven Secrets Academy had most likely investigated him regarding some of his background. Hence, he wasn’t really that surprised by it. He pondered over it for a while before answering: “I’m not sure myself. I will ask her about her thoughts later and see if she wants to join. She has a very strange personality.”
The two talked with each other while flying towards the Heaven Secret Courtyard, on an enormous crane which belonged to the old man.
The location of the Heaven Secrets Courtyard was not visible. It was located at a high spot on the periphery of Heaven Secrets Academy. All around, the place was contained within the Nine Palace Fog Formation. It may seem like there was nothing there looking in from the outside, but everything from the outside could clearly be seen from the inside.
“Qing Shui, you aren’t from the four continents, are you?”
