Seeing the way this person landed, Su Xueqing guessed that he must be a powerful figure in the sect.
They picked up all the gifts that had just fallen to the ground and presented them to him, saying, "We've come here to ask you for a favor."
From the moment Qu Chao first met Su Xueqing, he felt a deep love for her, believing that she was the one he had been searching for.
However, he didn't show it on his face. Instead, he waved to the two of them and said, "Whatever it is, just say it."
Su Xueqing pretended to peek at Xiao Feng, took a deep breath, and said, "We come on behalf of the Lingjian Sect. We've heard that Elder Qu's martial arts are superb, and we're itching to join him."
When he learned that the two had come specifically to see his father, he smiled broadly and said, "So you two have come to see my father."
Xiao Feng seized the opportunity to step forward and casually drew his Flowing Light Sword: "This kid is itching to have a fight with your father."
Clearly, Qu Chao would not agree to their conditions.
"The Spirit Sword Sect? Why have I never heard of this sect before? Could it be a sect from some tiny, insignificant place?"
There are countless sects in the upper realm, and most of the sects you haven't heard of don't have powerful figures guarding them.
Xiao Feng and Su Xueqing exchanged a glance. She immediately realized what was going on and came to Qu Chao, saying, "We have traveled thousands of miles to get here, just to fulfill this wish."
He picked up all the gifts from the ground and placed them in front of him again: "If you agree, these gifts are all yours."
He glanced down at the gift in Su Xueqing's hand, then his gaze gradually moved upwards, admiring her beauty.
"I have absolutely no interest in your gifts."
When the two learned that Qu Chao was not interested in what they had brought, they pretended to be worried and took two steps back.
"This...this is all that our sect can offer. We really have nothing else."
Xiao Feng's voice was filled with a deep sense of loss, giving the impression of a martial arts fanatic.
Beside him, Su Xueqing came to Xiao Feng's side, pretending to comfort him: "Don't worry, let's go back to the sect and see. I believe Master has even more precious magic artifacts."
Seeing that the two were about to leave, Qu Chao quickly called out to them, "Wait."
When the two turned around, Qu Chao's gaze swept over them, as if he was trying to figure out their identities.
What is the relationship between the two of you?
Su Xueqing understood that he had designs on her, and that it was most appropriate for her to come out and explain.
“We are fellow disciples. He heard that Qu Cheng, the law enforcement elder of the Crimson Flame Sect, was exceptionally skilled in martial arts, so he traveled a great distance to come here.”
When Qu Chao learned that Su Xueqing and Xiao Feng had no real relationship, his expression became somewhat ambiguous as he looked at Su Xueqing without any restraint.
"I can give you a chance to learn from me, but you need to agree to one small request."
Xiao Feng, well aware of the rules, quickly stepped forward and said, "What do you need us to do? As long as we can do it, we will certainly not let you down."
"Judging from your appearance, you probably don't have any magical artifacts that can tempt me, but... I do like your junior sister very much."
When Su Xueqing heard that Qu Chao had confessed his feelings for her, she secretly glanced at Xiao Feng, giving the impression of a secret crush.
Her little action did not escape Qu Chao's eyes at all, further confirming that the two were indeed fellow disciples.
"How about it? If you can agree to my conditions, I will agree to let you stay temporarily, and I can even give you some pointers."
He felt that the disciples of the nameless minor sect were not too powerful, and there was no need for Qu Cheng to take action.
Xiao Feng saw Su Xueqing focusing her gaze on him and gritted his teeth: "This... I'll have to ask my junior sister what she thinks."
Qu Chao felt he could easily control the two of them and couldn't help but laugh: "As long as you agree, I will let you go up the mountain. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
Every word they said was meant to lure Su Xueqing into a trap, but little did she know that this was a trap set by the two of them.
Sure enough, Su Xueqing secretly glanced at Xiao Feng, took a deep breath, and said, "I wonder if you could offer him some guidance? If so..."
"As long as you agree to become my Daoist partner, your senior brother will receive great preferential treatment in our Crimson Flame Sect."
Given his status, taking away the sect's secret techniques wouldn't be too much of a problem for him.
When Su Xueqing heard Qu Chaonong agree to their conditions, her face lit up with ecstasy: "Then...then we'll do whatever you say."
Xiao Feng nodded slightly and placed the Flowing Light Sword into the void.
Seeing that the two had agreed to his conditions, Qu Chao was overjoyed: "Then you two come up the mountain with us."
The disciples of the mountain gate, seeing that Qu Chao wanted to bring a stranger up the mountain, hurriedly stopped him, saying, "I'm afraid this is not in accordance with our sect's rules, is it?"
None of the sect's elders are here. If we bring these two people up the mountain, we might end up raising a tiger that will eventually harm us.
Upon hearing that the disciples of the mountain sect denied that he had led the group, Qu Chao slowly released his spiritual energy, which flowed towards him.
The pressure from this spiritual energy grew increasingly intense, forcing the disciples of the mountain sect to lower their heads.
They were well aware of the differences between Qu Chao and Qu Cheng, and if they were not careful, they might die at his hands.
"Come with me, ignore their gossip."
Seeing that he had begun to accumulate spiritual power in his hands, how could Xiao Feng not know that he was about to make a move?
The two followed Qu Chao to the mountain gate, only to find that he had brought two people to the martial arts arena.
Qu Chao gestured with his chin to the open space in front of him: "You go up first, and I'll examine the spiritual energy within you so I can choose a secret manual for you."
He did not intend to keep Xiao Feng, but rather Su Xueqing.
Outside the venue, Su Xueqing watched the two walk onto the platform and cheered loudly.
"Keep it up, don't get defeated in the first round."
On the high platform, Qu Chao's competitive spirit ignited immediately upon hearing Su Xueqing's words.
"Judging from your strength, you should only be at the Nascent Soul stage. I won't fight you without weapons, how about that?"
Outside the arena, many disciples came.
They wanted to learn as many tricks as possible from this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Qu Chao, on the other hand, didn't care and thought the more people who came, the better.
Seeing Qu Chao's careless attitude, Xiao Feng knew perfectly well that he might be suppressing his spiritual power.
In this way, if Xiao Feng can succeed in one move, the two of them might be able to force the Golden-Winged Bird out.
He glanced at Su Xueqing outside, and she immediately understood Xiao Feng's meaning, quietly taking two steps back.
She was positioned behind all the disciples, allowing her to kill them at any moment.
Seeing that Su Xueqing was in place, Xiao Feng's expression changed from weakness to extreme coldness.
"I need to remind you that my weapons are specifically designed to kill, not for competition."
Upon hearing Xiao Feng's words, Qu Chao couldn't help but burst into laughter: "You? Come and kill me!"
