Chapter: 1277 (1/2)

AST 1277 – The change of the Sect Lord of Lotus Sect. Long-term, the royal clan of Divine Might Dynasty

“Also, forbidding love between men and women is something which is against the natural law. Don’t you think that Lotus Sect will be in danger if you do something like this?”

Qing Shui had involved the natural law in the things which he said previously. This caused the expression of Lotus Sect’s Sect Lord to change yet again. Human relations were also considered a natural law. Actually, she also felt the same about it, it was just that she was Lotus Sect’s Sect Lord. Lets first put aside whether her acts to privately change the rule of the sect would get approval, she would be criticized by others for deceiving her masters and betraying her ancestors.

“Qing Shui, you yourself are also aware that this has been a rule passed down for many years. It isn’t something that can be changed so easily. Even though I am the Sect Lord of Lotus Sect, I am in no position to make decision on a huge matter like this.”

Qing Shui was also aware that the old lady wasn’t the strongest in terms of strength in Lotus Sect. There were some things which could only be decided through a Sect Meeting. However, Qing Shui also wasn’t expecting her to change it right away.

“Senior, I don’t mean that you have to change it right now. I just hope that you won’t stop Di Chen and I. For now, I will avoid showing up nearby with Chen`Er so as to not make things difficult for Lotus Sect,” Qing Shui explained after a few thoughts.

“*Sigh*, I know Chen`Er quite well. Since you have already said it up to this point, I think I won’t say anything more about you guys. I reckon that I won’t be able to change the rule. When Chen`Er went out this time, her cultivation increased significantly. I reckon that it won’t be long until she takes over Lotus Sect.” After repeated thoughts and careful considerations, the old lady felt more relieved.

Deep down, Qing Shui also felt really happy. It was best if he could solve the things in Lotus Sect peacefully. Also, Di Chen taking over Lotus Sect was also the best option. This way, he could take down Lotus Sect without having to use any forces. Of course, Qing Shui would give the entire Lotus Sect to Di Chen. The most he would do was to help her increase her strength. Other than that, he would wait until when she was strong enough to change the sect rules of Lotus Sect.

Now, the only problem was Di Chen’s strength. This wasn’t something to be panicked about. Di Chen absorbed the Sacred Object, Lotus Platform. The energy within her body was still really sufficient. Her strength was currently at a stage where it would continue to improve quickly.

“Senior, don’t worry. Since you believe in Chen`Er as a person, you should do the same for me too. I won’t intervene in things regarding Lotus Sect. Furthermore, I will help it.” Qing Shui said this as a way to show his gratitude.

“Yes, since you have already said it like this, you should already know that it’s impossible for me to change the rules of the sect. When the time comes, I will support Chen`Er and help her draw in the forces within the sect.”

Qing Shui felt extremely surprised with what the Sect Lord of Lotus Sect said. After all, prior to this, Qing Shui had the impression that she was a stubborn old lady and that it would be impossible for him to persuade her. To his surprise, she was actually this open-minded. He wondered if it was because she reminisced about her past or because he had mentioned her weakness. This should be considered an unexpected surprise. If he was to force his way through, it would work just as well. But Di Chen was not yet capable enough. Most importantly, it’s human hearts. Solving things peacefully in this manner. Di Chen was also the Holy Maiden of Lotus Sect. In the sect itself, she still held quite a prestigious position.

Diwu Zhisha was half a Holy Maiden. She was also the eldest daughter of Diwu Clan. She would also support Di Chen (As for Diwu Zhisha addressing Di Chen as Sister Chen, this was somehow related to their status and cultivation. It was totally unrelated to age. Their relationships hadn’t been close to the point they would regard each other as sisters based on their age.)

No matter from which perspective Qing Shui looked at, no outcomes would beat the outcome of Di Chen taking over Lotus Sect.

The incident regarding Lotus Sect was considered to have ended for now. Like before, Di Chen still remained in Lotus Sect. Qing Shui on the other hand, he planned to travel to Divine Might Dynasty. He wanted to first take a look at the situation there.

“Qing Shui, I am going to go into seclusion now. By the time my body finishes absorbing the Forces of Sacred Objects, my strength will take yet another huge leap. By then, I will be able to fight together with you.” Di Chen smiled while holding Qing Shui’s hand.

“Alright, I’ll wait for you. By then, if we work together as husband and wife, we will be unmatched across the world.”

“Oh yes, Qing Shui, I feel that it’s not necessary for you to conquer the large forces within Western Oxhe Continent. Actually, there is another method of doing it. When you have sufficient strength, you can work together with some of the forces just like forming an alliance. As long as you are strong enough, they won’t dare to betray you. This way, the difficulty of you accomplishing your goal will reduce significantly.” Di Chen smiled as she looked at Qing Shui.

“Ah, my Chen`Er is so smart. You actually shared the same thought as me.” Actually, Qing Shui really had the intention to do so. But since Di Chen has spoken up, he was all the more confident that his plan would work.

“You shameless brat. You are complimenting yourself, aren’t you?” Di Chen was really speechless.

“I’m leaving soon, will you miss me?”

“I will miss you.”

“I’m leaving soon, why don’t you give me some rewards!” As Qing Shui was speaking, he immediately moved closer to Di Chen’s mouth.

“Wait until the next time I see you, wait until you are done with your seclusion, I will eat you up and make you my actual woman.” These were the things which Qing Shui said before he left. At the moment when he finished speaking, he disappeared right away.

Since he was leaving, he would prefer to bid his farewell properly. He didn’t want to see any sad scenes.

Di Chen’s face looked completely red as she looked at the direction which Qing Shui vanished into.

……

Now, Qing Shui was inside the Imperial City in Divine Might Dynasty. This was his second visit here. Unknowingly, he found himself once again at the Imperial City Blacksmith Store. He entered the store and started randomly looking at the things there.

“Sir, you’re here!”

At the moment when Qing Shui was looking around randomly, a voice came through. He turned around only to find that it was the male servant from before. At this moment, he was looking at Qing Shui with a faint smile.

“Oh, is there anything you need help with?”

“The eldest lady has mentioned before that if you show up, she hopes that you can wait here for a while. She wants to see you,” the male servant said politely.

“Oh, alright!”

“Thank you, I will inform the eldest lady right away.” The male servant left quickly after he finished speaking.

Qing Shui never expected things to turn out like this. He was panicking over why he hadn’t seen any of the people from the royal clan within Divine Might Dynasty. To his surprise, someone actually gave him a pillow just as he was yawning.

(TL NOTE: someone actually gave him pillow just as he was yawning is an expression to say someone helping solve his problem.)

Less than half an hour later, Qing Shui saw Fu Rong. As usual, this little brat still looked really brilliant and gorgeous. Upon seeing Qing Shui, she walked here happily.

“You finally came. Didn’t you say before that you were going to come to my house? Why haven’t you shown up in such a long time?”

“Well, I came now, didn’t I?” Qing Shui said with a smile.
