When Sheng Ning led several senior brothers to the north of the secret realm, they happened to run into their eldest senior brother on the way.
However, this senior brother was not the senior brother they were thinking of.
Yu Ye, holding the Immortal Binding Rope in one hand, turned around and started cursing at the man who had been following them.
"Qin Chuan, are you out of your mind? If you're sick, go get your brain fixed! What are you doing following us around?!"
When faced with Yu Ye's outburst of insults, Qin Chuan, whose face was scarred, merely glanced at him.
Then he turned his gaze to Sheng Ning.
Sheng Ning was still focused on flying on her sword. They had been flying for almost two days, and she had already swallowed two spirit-replenishing pills.
But all they could see was an endless forest, like a maze, and no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't get out.
Her delicate brows furrowed slightly. After setting down her senior brothers, she stood alone atop a tree. "Fellow Daoist Qin, aren't you going to find your junior brothers and sisters?"
Standing for long periods while wielding a sword is quite tiring.
Sheng Ning bent over and yawned, then stretched his muscles and sat down cross-legged.
With one hand supporting her head, she looked up and met the eyes of the man who had floated in front of her like a ghost.
Qin Chuan appeared after they set off north.
He followed them for more than a day.
He did not answer when asked questions.
Yu also scolded him, but he pretended not to hear it.
His gaze remained fixed on Sheng Ning from beginning to end, which angered Yu Ye and the others, who thought Qin Chuan was going to steal the junior sister of the Invincible Sect again.
"Shi Yueyao has appeared in the secret realm. Perhaps she has already joined up with Xi Zhen and the others."
She curled the corners of her lips into a slight smile and said with a soft laugh, "Aren't you going to go take a look?"
Her voice was soft, and a gentle breeze ruffled her long hair at her temples.
Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan clenched his hands, which were hanging by his sides, into fists.
His Adam's apple bobbed, and after a long pause, he finally spoke in a hoarse voice, "Why are you still alive?"
His question not only surprised Sheng Ning, but also made the four people beside him, including Yu Ye, jump up and down.
"No! Qin Chuan, what do you mean? You don't want to live anymore and you want to drag my junior sister down with you, do you?"
"What are you saying, Fellow Daoist Qin?"
"Yu is right. If you're sick, go see a doctor. Fellow Daoist Qin, don't hide your illness and avoid seeking medical help."
"Dare to touch my junior sister? I'll kill you!"
Four different figures blocked Sheng Ning's path. The four Invincible Master Brothers each held a laser cannon and aimed it at Qin Chuan.
The four men wore expressions of anger, looking at Qin Chuan as if he were their father's killer.
Lu Qingan looked coldly at Qin Chuan, "Even if my senior brother isn't here, if Fellow Daoist Qin wants to lay a hand on my junior sister, we won't allow it."
Their cultivation level was not as high as Qin Chuan's, and they were no match for him.
Even so, they were still determined to fight to the death for their junior sister.
Seeing the anger and wariness in Lu Qing'an and the others' eyes, Qin Chuan blinked and spoke to Sheng Ning, whom they were protecting, "I want to have a private talk with you."
Even talking to them face-to-face isn't enough.
He wanted to talk to her privately?
Lu Qing'an and the other three stared wide-eyed and immediately rejected him on Sheng Ning's behalf.
"If you also want any secret treasures, you can go find them yourself. Xi Zhen and the other two are in the south, so you can go find them."
"But if you have designs on my junior sister, Qin Chuan, don't blame us for using our laser cannons to kill without blinking an eye."
A deep voice echoed through the woods.
Lu Qing'an and the others released their spiritual power, and the oppressive aura emanating from them frightened the birds into flying in all directions.
They didn't let Qin Chuan turn around and leave.
I'd like to talk to you privately.
That same phrase again.
Yu Ye glared at him with wide eyes, "Qin Chuan, were you stunned by my junior sister's cannon fire?"
"I already said no! I refuse to chat with you privately! Can't you just get away from me?"
"I feel disgusted just looking at the people from the Taixu Sect, and I can't help but want to kill them."
Yu Ye's words did not make Qin Chuan leave; instead, they made him take a step forward.
Guan Yunchuan's features tightened. "Back off. Don't think we won't make a move."
After he finished speaking, the laser cannon in his hand suddenly fired.
When the laser swept across Qin Chuan's shoulder, a charred hole was clearly visible.
The burnt smell is unpleasant.
Seeing that he didn't even flinch, Guan Yunchuan was about to attack him again.
"Fifth Senior Brother, let me have a talk with him."
The voice of my junior sister came from behind me.
Guan Yunchuan turned his head, the hostility in his eyes still lingering towards Qin Chuan, "Junior Sister, his cultivation is very high."
If Qin Chuan is here to cause trouble for the Invincible Sect, his cultivation level is high, and he could kill his junior sister, who has just entered the Golden Core stage, at any time.
Guan Yunchuan, who had been killed by the Taixu Sect, shook his head. "Say what you have to say here. We can't abandon our junior sister."
Sheng Ning stood up, put her arm around his shoulder, and smiled, "If you don't trust me, Senior Brother, I can take out the enhanced laser cannon."
As she spoke, a silver artifact appeared in her hand.
Even when faced with the divine weapon in her hand, Qin Chuan remained unmoved.
His eyes were fixed on Sheng Ning, giving one a chilling feeling.
"That won't work either, he can just transmit his voice to you."
This way, the junior sister's safety is also guaranteed.
Seeing that the senior brothers refused to budge, it was clear how much they hated and loathed the disciples of the Taixu Sect.
Sheng Ning looked up and met Qin Chuan's eyes again, and smiled, "Fellow Daoist Qin, as you can see, my senior brothers don't want me to be alone with you."
"If you need anything, you can send me a voice message; it's just as safe."
But Qin Chuan shook his head. "This matter cannot be spread."
Is there any message in the world that cannot be conveyed?
Qin Chuan's change was too great, and he could even come up with an excuse like not being able to transmit his voice, which made Lu Qing'an and the others even more wary.
Sheng Ning patted them on the shoulder, showing no fear on his face, and said, "Half a quarter of an hour."
"If I don't show up within half a quarter of an hour, it won't be too late for my senior brothers to teach Fellow Daoist Qin a lesson."
Sheng Ning also wanted to know why Qin Chuan had become like this, and even more so, what he wanted to say to her.
Before leaving, he cast a reassuring glance at his fellow students.
After the two flew several hundred meters away, Sheng Ning sat down on the trunk of a tree.
With her legs dangling in mid-air, Sheng Ning looked at the man in front of her and smiled, "Fellow Daoist Qin, what exactly do you want to say to me in such a mysterious way?"
Qin Chuan moved his lips and said in a low voice, "If I tell you, you can't tell anyone else, not even your senior brothers and masters."
Upon hearing this, Sheng Ning raised an eyebrow.
She then raised her hand and swore an oath to the heavens.
Only after a light shone between her brows, signifying that the vow had taken effect, did she hear the man's voice again in her ear.
“You should have died a miserable death in the streets long ago after being expelled from the Taixu Sect.”
Why are you still alive?
