Chapter: 1251 (1/2)

AST 1251 – Before The Battle, Accepting The Challenge

Qing Shui never expected for someone to come and challenge him as soon as he broke through. Was this a coincidence or a scheme? However, he was still really happy. Before he left, he was still worrying about how he should make fame for himself. This was almost like someone giving you a pillow when you want to nap.

However, Qing Shui didn’t understand why they wanted to unite and challenged him? Could it be that he was really close with the Eldest Princess last time? Or was it that he was really close with the higher-ups in the Heaven Secrets Academy and that his name as the Guest Custodian had been spread?

Qing Shui’s heart was moved as soon as he saw the Saint Child’s name. It might be that he felt that he had been careless last time and he wanted to fight again. Or, it might be that the challenge this time wasn’t suggested by the Saint Child. This was just pushing somebody to do something way beyond their ability. For example, if Qing Shui got beaten by the Lord Sect or by other people, wouldn’t that in a way say that he himself was inferior to them?

In just a moment, Qing Shui’s thoughts spun about in his head quickly. Different ideas constantly flashed across his mind, but he wasn’t worried for now. However, he also didn’t want to offend all of them at once. Even though he wasn’t scared of them, there were still the Eldest Princess, Qing Sha and others here.

When someone loved their house, they would love their crows too. (chinese idiom) Similarly, when someone hated it, they would also hate the crows together. Hence, if one of them were insane, who could guarantee nothing would happen? If he really wanted to fight, he would have to make sure to smash them completely and make sure that they couldn’t stand back up forever.

At the moment when Qing Shui was indulged in his thoughts, Tian Jiange came. Compared to before, he seemed to be a lot more calm and steady. However, his brows were slightly knitted at the moment. As he saw the challenge letter in Qing Shui’s hand, he said helplessly: “This was elder brother’s wish. I couldn’t stop him.”

“Why stop him? Are you confident in taking over the Lord Sect?” Qing Shui suddenly asked Tian Jiange.

“I don’t understand?” Tian Jiange seemed panicked. He stared at Qing Shui very tightly.

“I’m saying, if your brother lose the match this time and that you end up taking over the Lord Sect, will you be able to control it?” Qing Shui pinned the challenge letter on the stone table.

“Brother, my current strength is still insufficient to control the Lord Sect.” Tian Jiange let out a sigh.

“Don’t rush. We will wait a bit longer then.” QIng Shui smiled and said.

Tian Jiange felt that the current Qing Shui was a bit unpredictable. He didn’t know what exactly he should say. Even though he could roughly guess it, he couldn’t really believe it either. This time, a few people had united to challenge him. A lot of people could tell that the Saint Child had been careless last time. Hence, if Qing Shui accepted this challenge, things definitely wouldn’t end well for him.

“Elder brother, please help me pass the message. Just tell them that I accept the challenge, but we will need to bet on something by then.” Qing Shui smiled and said.

“Brother, even if you don’t accept it, the outsiders won’t say anything. Why don’t you reject it?” Tian Jiange tried to convince him.

“Don’t worry, I’ll be fine. Just help me pass the message to them. As long as they promise that, I will accept the challenge. By then, the conditions of the bet will satisfy both sides. Tell them to not worry about it.” Qing Shui smiled. This time, he had considered to helped the Eldest Princess paved ways.

Tian Jiange stopped convincing him. He knew that Qing Shui normally wouldn’t change his minds on things which he had decided on. Besides, from the way he knew this man, he knew that Qing Shui wouldn’t do things he wasn’t confident with.

When he first came, he had already noticed that Qing Shui felt different than before. Even though he wasn’t really sure, but it must have a huge relation with the breakthrough in his strength.

“Tomorrow noon at the Heaven Secrets Arena!” Qing Shui confirmed the time as he smiled and told Tian Jiange.

Qing Shui accepted the challenge. He once again spread it around the Heaven Secret Academy.

People were already talking about all kinds of things after just a while. Now, no one dared to look down on Qing Shui anymore. In any case, how many people were there that could force the Saint Child to the extent that he united with other people to challenge someone? Furthermore, Qing Shui also held the position as the Guest Custodian.

……

“Brother Sui, are you still going to spectate it this time?” The old man with surname Cao chuckled as he spoke.

“Do you think that it’s still something to look forward to?”

“Most likely not, the gap is too wide.”

“Yes, by the way nurture that little lass well. In the future, the Heaven Secrets Academy will be in her hand. It’s only by her ruling that the Heaven Secrets Academy will be the strongest existence within the Western Oxhe Continent. The Heaven Secrets Academy may be able to spread out its force across the entire continent earlier than expected. It may even have hope of making its way into the other three continents. This is an opportunity.”

“You are saying that the brat likes Sunu?” The old man with surname Cao asked in a slightly strange manner.

“Haha, is this even something to be questioned about? Just watch, in the future, Sunu will definitely get together with this brat.” The old man in gold dragon gown said while he laughed.

……

“You’ve changed!” the Eldest Princess got shocked after she saw Qing Shui.

“I look more handsome now, don’t I?” Qing Shui quickly went with the flow and said.

“You have become even paler. Your skin also looks smoother. You look a bit like a girl now.” the Eldest Princess said seriously.

Qing Shui felt black lines hang above his head. He angrily clenched his teeth and hugged her: “Do I seem more manly now……?”

“Pu!”

As she saw Qing Shui’s face, the Eldest Princess laughed. She softly opened up his arms, let out her hand and rubbed his head. She only stopped after she messed up his hair.

“You are fighting again? Are you confident you can win?” the Eldest Princess turned around and went forward.

“Have you ever seen me before doing something I’m not confident with?” Qing Shui said as he showed off.
