Lu Cheng held a bamboo stick, a low-grade Heaven-rank magic weapon, which he could barely resist with his Nascent Soul cultivation.

But Shangguan Rou's side is about to collapse!

My arms and thighs were slashed in several places! My clothes were torn, giving them a modern and trendy ripped look.

Seeing that this wouldn't work, Lu Cheng simply went all out. Ye Qinghan was also taken aback, thinking, "What the hell?"

Master is watching! Do you want to embarrass me?

"You dare challenge me, Ye Qinghan? Do you even have the ability?"

As Ye Qinghan spoke, he stomped his foot again. "You like to play around, don't you! You don't know how to take the opportunity when I give you one!"

In an instant, two more immortal swords flew straight towards Lu Cheng. Ye Qinghan also began to take the battle seriously. Even Ye Qinghan could no longer handle six immortal swords with ease; this was the limit of her control.

Any more, and she won't be able to maintain precise control...

Lu Cheng was also dumbfounded. Just what kind of monster was Ye Qinghan?

Ye Qinghan looked around and saw that the merchants, whom he had expected to scatter and flee, were now maintaining a safe distance, silently watching the battle of the titans...

"Qinghan, stop."

"Is Master hungry?" Ye Qinghan actually wanted to use this Second Elder to test the Ling Shuang Sword Technique, but Master had spoken.

"If I don't stop you, you might be tempted to kill me, wouldn't you?" Su Cheng said, rubbing her little head with a doting expression, showing no sign of blame.

Ye Qinghan remained silent, simply sheathing his sword and glancing at Shangguan Rou with narrowed eyes.

Ye Qinghan put the sword box back in its place and stood obediently behind Su Cheng.

"Miss Shangguan is a hero among young people, truly living up to her reputation as a prodigy. Su Cheng admires her."

"On behalf of my disciple, Su Cheng thanks Miss Shangguan for showing mercy. I failed to discipline her properly and offended her. I will definitely teach her a lesson when we get back!"

"Second Elder, if there's nothing else, I'll take Qinghan to eat."

Lu Cheng and Shangguan Rou were both dumbfounded, but compared to the young and impetuous Shangguan Rou, Lu Cheng was more experienced.

"Sect Leader Su, you are too kind. Miss Qinghan is exceptionally talented and, given time, she will surely become an outstanding person."

"Sect Leader Su, I won't take up any more of your time. Please make yourself at home."

Su Cheng smiled and led Ye Qinghan to a restaurant.

"Qinghan, order whatever you'd like! You did a great job today, I'm very happy!"

"Wow! Thank you, Master!"

Ye Qinghan didn't need to eat anything. All she wanted was her master's praise and a pat on the head! As long as she could get her master's praise, she could grow strong even if she had to photosynthesize!

However, considering that he didn't know if his master had any money left, Ye Qinghan didn't try all the dishes on the menu.

I only ordered two dishes that I liked, and then the dishes that my master liked.

[My Qinghan is so handsome! Hehe, no wonder he's my disciple! His diligent teaching has been worthwhile!]

However, this incident also served as a wake-up call; we need to equip Qinghan with some more magical artifacts!

We were able to handle these two this time, but what about next time? What if the opponent is stronger, or has more people?

[I don't really care about my own life, it's just a worthless one, but Qinghan is my personal disciple, I have to take responsibility for him!]

Ye Qinghan listened quietly. Was this his master's training strategy?

Are they really going to use rare and precious materials and magical treasures to destroy themselves?

[It's decided then. Since we're no good at competitive racing, let's compete against him in item races!]

[What I have to offer is a plethora of magical treasures and equipment!]

[If you push me too far, I'll get Qinghan a Pangu Axe. Damn it, anyone who dares to bully my disciple will have their entire family chopped down!]

Ye Qinghan was dumbfounded. So the innate treasure wasn't the most ruthless thing after all?

"Qinghan, I have a treasure here. Do you want it?"

Ye Qinghan was taken aback, but he was no longer in a hurry. His master meant that those treasures would be his sooner or later, so why was he in such a rush?

If I needed it, my master would have arranged it for me without me having to ask.

"Master has already given Qinghan enough. Qinghan does not ask for anything else. He only hopes to stay by Master's side and serve Master."

Uh... is it switching to obedient mode now?

"You said you wanted it."

"Alright, this disciple wants it." Ye Qinghan smiled, revealing an expression that showed he truly couldn't do anything about his master.

"This is my Star River Ruler. If Qinghan can establish his foundation before the secret realm opens, I will give you the Star River Ruler. How about it?"

Hehe, Qinghan definitely won't refuse!

"Qinghan doesn't want it." Oh? Master knows Qinghan so well?

Ye Qinghan wasn't that interested, but she hadn't even figured out the Six Rites yet! There were so many magical treasures, but she didn't even know how to use them, so they were useless to her!

Besides, what belongs to the master is hers. If she likes him, she can easily win him over by being affectionate. Why bother?

[That shouldn't be the case? Doesn't this guy like magical artifacts anymore?]

"You don't like it? I have other magical treasures. Do you like the Banana Leaf Fan? It's for girls. Or the Immortal-Slaying Zither?"

"Qinghan doesn't like it."

hiss.......

Something's wrong! Something's extremely wrong! Has this dish been poisoned?

"If Qinghan succeeds, can Master grant me a small request?"

"Whatever your request... your master... will grant it..."

[Qinghan wouldn't... want to leave Lingxian Palace, would she?]

"Not all of them can be agreed to!" Su Cheng added.
