Nine Yang Holy Sect.
At this moment, inside the main hall, Sect Master Yang Jiutian was reprimanding the Holy Son of the Nine Yang Holy Sect as if he were scolding his grandson.
"You traitorous disciple, tell me, why did you hunt down that girl from the Azure Lotus Sword Sect?"
"Master, I didn't chase after her."
"Nonsense. The former sect leader of the Azure Lotus Sword Sect personally wrote to me, demanding an explanation from me, or he would skin you alive."
"Master, I just thought that woman was unusually beautiful and wanted to pursue her; I didn't chase after her."
"Damn it, you still say there was no pursuit? The letter told me you were chasing them for three hundred miles in Yandu, wielding a forty-meter-long broadsword."
_(￣0￣)_ "Oh, you mean this? Well, it's because I thought she was really hot, and I wanted her to come back to the sect with me to have a baby together and practice the Mad Demon Blade Technique together. But she refused, and even called me a scoundrel, shameless, and most importantly, she said I was ugly. Damn it, this girl is so clueless, so I just brandished my sword to scare her. Master, I promise, I really didn't chase after her."
"??????"
Yang Jiutian was stunned. He really wanted to say, "You're ugly to begin with," but when he thought of his disciple, who was "ugly without realizing it," he hated it most when others said he was ugly, he swallowed his words.
"Look at you, instead of focusing on your cultivation, what the hell are you doing chasing after women all day?"
Yang Jiutian said with a hint of disappointment.
Yang Wei, with his neck stiff, shouted, "Master, is it wrong for me to want to marry a wife?"
My brothers all have wives, some even dozens, but I don't have one. When we go out to parties, they look down on me, mocking me for being over a hundred years old and still a virgin. How could I stand that? No way. So I just want to find a wife.
Yang Jiutian glared, "Isn't cultivating better than getting married?"
Yang Wei rolled his eyes. "Master, have you gone mad from being a virgin? Cultivation is nothing compared to getting married! Besides, do you know what people outside call our Nine Yang Holy Sect? They call us the Bachelor Sect."
Damn it, look at us, from you to me, we're all bachelors in this sect. I've had enough! Why does this sect have to practice this bullshit Pure Yang Divine Skill?
"I don't care, I just want to lose my virginity. I don't want my brothers to look down on me."
"You...you...you..."
Enraged, Yang Jiutian pointed a trembling finger at Yang Wei and cried out in a hoarse voice, "Traitorous disciple! Traitorous disciple!"
"Alright, Master, stop pointing. You've said that tens of thousands of times, and what's the result? You're just making yourself angry. If you really want to pass on the position to me, you can just do it directly. Why do you have to make yourself so angry before passing it on?"
And another thing, I'm not trying to criticize you, but don't think I don't know, you're over five hundred years old and still a virgin. You secretly like the sect leader of the Luoshui Sect across the street, and shamelessly confessed your feelings to him under the moon. As a result, you were rejected without mercy, and you even cried secretly under the covers.
"Master, you're really embarrassing yourself, you know? If you ask me, you should just storm up to the Luoshui Sect, knock that woman unconscious with a brick, bring her back, have a baby with her, and she'll be devoted to you forever."
"What the hell do you mean, 'Having a baby with you will make you devoted to me'? Who the hell taught you that?"
"My brother."
"Is that the one who snatched the Holy Maiden of the Glazed Pavilion to have her baby, and then got her master come knocking and broke three of her legs?"
"It's him."
"You want three legs broken too?"
"Master, my legs are strong, I'm not afraid."
"Huff~ Huff~"
Yang Jiutian took a few deep breaths, pointed at Yang Wei, and angrily said, "Speaking of the Luoshui Sect, I just want to ask you, why the hell were you chasing after that Luo Qianqian to kill her again not long ago? Did you know that her elders even came to our door in a group?"
"Master, please don't be angry. I just thought that girl was pretty and wanted to have her baby, but she was so rude and kept rejecting me. She even called me an ugly monster a thousand times. How could I not be angry? Of course I was! So I chased her for three thousand miles with a knife. If it weren't for the fact that we're neighbors, I would have killed her long ago."
"You son of a bitch, why do you think everyone is so good-looking? Tell me, how many women have you chased and killed these past few years? If you keep killing like this, my Nine Yang Holy Sect is going to get ganged up on, you idiot!"
"Master, please don't scold me. It's not my fault. Those women are quite pretty. Besides, I just wanted to have a baby with them, take it out for a stroll, and make my brothers look good about me. What did I do wrong?"
"You, you, you... Last time, you got your arm chopped off because you were chasing after that Luo Qianqian, have you forgotten? Huh? Do you really have no memory at all?"
"Hey, Master, I almost forgot if you hadn't mentioned it. That woman who chopped me up was really hot. By the way, Master, did you find any news about her that I asked you to look for? I want to have a baby with her."
"Aaaaaah... You traitor, you traitor, you son of a bitch, you son of a bitch, what else can you do besides having babies???"
Yang Jiutian was furious. How could he have taken such a thing as his disciple?
"Master, what you're saying! Besides finding a wife, I also enjoy cultivation! Master, you wait! My Pure Yang Divine Skill has already reached the fifth level, and my Mad Demon Blade Technique is almost complete. When the Heavenly Pride City's Heavenly Pride Tournament begins next year, I will definitely crush those two idiots, Xiao Xuan and Dugu Jian, and win the championship to bring you honor."
"Hmph, at least what you said is somewhat palatable."
"Hehe, Master, once I win first place on the Prodigy Ranking, could you find me a wife?"
Fuck you.
Yang Jiutian couldn't stand it anymore and kicked the Nine Yang Saint Son against the wall, making him hang there.
At this moment, Qin Shou, who had been eavesdropping outside the main hall for a long time, twitched the corner of his mouth and instantly appeared in front of Yang Jiutian.
Yang Jiutian was still angry, but when he saw Qin Shou's figure, he immediately became alert.
"Who are you? Damn it, how dare you trespass into my Nine Yang Holy Sect? Don't you want to live?"
The Nine Yang Saint Son detached himself from the wall, carrying a forty-meter-long scarlet broadsword, and charged towards the Qin Beast.
Snap!
Before Qin Shou could make a move, Yang Jiutian directly knocked the Nine Yang Saint Son unconscious with a powerful blow.
This idiot dares to recklessly charge at anyone he meets.
Yang Jiutian looked solemn, unsure whether the other party was friend or foe.
This person could easily penetrate the protective array of the mountain and appear silently beside me without my noticing. He must be a Nascent Soul Realm expert.
"May I ask why you have come to visit our humble sect, senior?"
Yang Jiutian's attitude was very respectful.
Qin Shou was somewhat surprised, "You're quite perceptive!"
Logically, in this situation, shouldn't the other party first shout angrily and then threaten to kill you at the slightest disagreement?
"You flatter me, senior. Your cultivation is unfathomable, and I dare not presume to presume. Please speak freely, senior. Whatever I can do, I will certainly do for you."
Yang Jiutian's attitude was very sincere and intelligent.
This made Qin Shou look at him with newfound respect.
Therefore, Qin Shou didn't waste any words and said directly, "The Luoshui Sect is under my protection."
"ah? "
Yang Jiutian was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood and solemnly promised, "Senior, rest assured, from now on, all disciples of my Nine Yang Holy Sect will never harm a single blade of grass or tree of the Luoshui Sect. If anyone disobeys, I will definitely kill them without mercy."
Moreover, if any other sect dares to bully the Luoshui Sect, my Nine Yang Holy Sect will be the first to object.
"Indeed, you are one of the few intelligent people I have ever met."
Qin Shou nodded approvingly, then turned his gaze to the unconscious Nine Yang Saint.
“My disciple cut off one of his arms, and now, another disciple of mine, who is only nominally his disciple, wants me to cut off his other arm. What should I do?”
Yang Jiutian was immediately startled and quickly cupped his hands, saying, "Please, senior, show mercy."
What if I don't?
Qin Shou's eyes narrowed slightly, filled with danger.
Yang Jiutian's expression was resolute. "I respect you, senior, but I only have this one disciple. If you insist on this, then I will have no choice but to fight to the death."
"You think you can hurt me?"
"Senior is too kind. The mountain-protecting formation above my sect was left by my ancestor thousands of years ago. It can block Nascent Soul cultivators. Senior was able to enter silently, so you must be at least a top-level Nascent Soul cultivator, if not a Void Realm cultivator. I am no match for you."
"Then you still dare to fight me to the death?" Qin Shou asked curiously.
Yang Jiutian smiled helplessly, "What kind of master is he if he can't even protect his disciple?"
"good."
Qin Shou nodded, his impression of the person improving considerably.
"Alright, I was just joking with you. Someone as powerful as me naturally wouldn't bother with a mere Golden Core cultivator."
"Phew~"
Yang Jiutian breathed a sigh of relief.
"Alright, I'm leaving."
"I'll see you off, senior."
Outside the main hall, Qin Shou unleashed a terrifying sword aura with a wave of his hand, cleaving the protective array above the Nine Suns Holy Sect in two.
Clean and efficient, without any unnecessary delays.
Yang Jiutian: ? ? ? ? ? What are you doing?
"Senior, what is this...?"
Yang Jiutian felt uneasy; this guy was too capricious.
"Haha, it's nothing, just showing you my skills."
Yang Jiutian: ............? ? ? You're so high and mighty, you're so amazing! That's a sect-protecting formation built at countless costs!!
Yang Jiutian wanted to cry.
He's having a really tough time being the sect leader.
My own people annoy me, outsiders bully me, and even the woman I like thinks I'm as ugly as my apprentice...
Damn it, what kind of life is this? I want to get married too!
.........
Half an hour later.
As soon as Qin Shou returned to Luoshui Sect, he noticed that the atmosphere in the main hall was a bit strange.
He felt that the beautiful woman and the elders were looking at him strangely, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
Therefore, Qin Shou didn't pay much attention to it.
"The matter with the Nine Yang Holy Sect has been settled. They have promised not to cause any more trouble for the Luo Shui Sect."
"Thank you, senior."
Luo Lingsu bowed in greeting.
"It's alright."
Qin Shou waved his hand and then took out a jade slip.
"This jade slip contains a wisp of my soul. If the Luoshui Sect ever faces trouble, simply crush this jade slip, and I will sense it and be willing to intervene to save the Luoshui Sect from peril. I hope you will make good use of it."
"We thank you for your generous gift, senior!"
Upon seeing this, Luo Lingsu and the elders were all excited and took the jade slip one after another, thanking Qin Beast.
This is a promise from a Nascent Soul Realm expert, far more precious than the spiritual treasures they possess.
"Well, the path of cultivation is long and arduous. We'll meet again someday."
Qin Shou nodded in acknowledgment, then turned and left with Wen Qing on his back.
Just as he reached the outside of the hall, Qin Shou turned back with a "tap tap tap" sound, rubbing his little hands together, and asked somewhat shyly:
"May I ask if the young lady is married?"
"Got it! Got it! Got it!"
Luo Lingsu was so frightened that she nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice.
Qin Beast: ? ? ? ? ? ? You answered way too quickly!!
Why do I feel inexplicably hurt?
Am I not obviously handsome enough?
Forget it, this beautiful girl might not adapt to the secluded life in the mountains.
It's just a bit of a pity, this beauty is really stunning.
"What a pity, what a pity..."
Qin Shou shook his head regretfully.
at this time,
Seeing this, the elders were also very uneasy.
They were terrified that this senior might suddenly say something perverted: "Hehehe, a married woman, that's what I like, hehehe..."
Fortunately, although this senior had some physical deficiencies, he had a very good character and did not do anything that was difficult for him.
Outside the main hall, Qin Shou carried Wen Qing away.
On the mountain steps, clouds and mist drifted by.
Qin Shou's furrowed brows remained unchanged.
"My dear, why do I feel like Sect Leader Luo and the elders are looking at me strangely since I came back?"
"Huh? Is there?"
Wen Qing paused for a moment, "No, right? You must be mistaken, Master. Think about it, you've been so good to them, how could they possibly have any other thoughts besides gratitude?"
"Yes, that makes sense."
Qin Shou nodded, then shook his head and laughed, "Forget it, let's go home."
"Master, I want to go back to my hometown for a visit."
"Hometown? Lingzhou?"
"Um. "
"Alright, then let's go to Lingzhou."
........
Lingzhou, Tianshui Town.
The town is very prosperous.
The long street was bustling with traffic and people, and the cries of vendors on both sides filled the air.
The afterglow of the setting sun stretched the streets of the town into an endless expanse...
Qin Shou carried Wen Qing on his back, rounded several bends, and arrived at a secluded courtyard.
There are two trees in front of the courtyard, one is a mulberry tree, and the other is also a mulberry tree.
A century has passed, and these mortal beings have long since withered and died, devoid of life.
"These are the two mulberry trees that my father planted for my mother. I remember when I was little, every time the mulberries ripened, my father would start picking them, and I would stand below them with a small wooden basin on my head to catch them."
The warmth tinged with nostalgia.
"Unfortunately, time is merciless, and countless beautiful things wither away in the passage of time, gradually losing their vitality, leaving only memories."
The warmth was momentarily tinged with sadness.
A wisp of chaotic spiritual power surged from Qin Shou's fingertips and entered the roots of the trees. Before long, the two mulberry trees began to regain their vitality and grow vigorously at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"In about half a month, the mulberries here will be ripe. Then, your master will pick some for you to eat."
Qin Shou laughed.
"good. "
A smile appeared on Wenqing's face.
Squeak!
Then, Qin Shou and Wen Qing gently pushed open the courtyard gate.
More than sixty years have passed, and the courtyard has remained uninhabited and has long since fallen into disrepair.
Previously, this was considered a rather grand courtyard.
Whoosh—
Qin Shou waved his sleeve, sweeping away all the cobwebs and dust in the courtyard.
Then he had Wenqing sit on a stone stool, while he fetched some water, took out a few cloths, and cleaned and wiped the house again to make it easier for her to stay that night.
Looking at her master's busy figure, who was like an ordinary person, Wenqing couldn't help but smile gently.
He remembered that his mother often watched her father work in the same way.
An hour later, Qin Shou finally finished cleaning the master bedrooms.
At night, the candlelight flickered dimly.
Qin Shou sat at a square table, spread out a sheet of paper, and asked Wen Qingyi Cheng to write a letter so he could send it back to the mountain.
Wen Qing was puzzled. "Master, wouldn't it be better to surprise our junior sister when we get back?"
Qin Shou shook his head and laughed, "If you secretly go back without telling your junior sister, she'll be happy all day to see you. But if you tell her you're going back a month in advance, she'll be happy a month in advance."
"I understand, Master."
Wenqing smiled warmly, then picked up her pen to write a letter to Yicheng.
After writing the letter, Qin Shou placed it in an envelope. With a surge of spiritual energy in his palm, the envelope transformed into a paper crane, imprinted with a wisp of his soul. It flew out the window and disappeared into the void, traversing thousands of mountains and rivers.
The moon is so beautiful tonight, and the night is so gentle and warm...
