The table fell into complete silence. Xue Wu saw that something was not right and said quickly:

"Brother Qin, I'm sorry, my brother is drunk."

"I'm not drunk!"

Xue Wen looked at Qin Gengyun coldly: "Junior Sister Qiu is a genius of our Qinglian Sect. She has always been arrogant and never intimate with any male cultivators, but she is willing to marry Fellow Daoist Qin. I think Fellow Daoist Qin must have some outstanding qualities, right?"

"this……"

Xue Wen's words inexplicably reminded Qin Gengyun and Qiu Zhihe of something. The couple looked at each other, with a hint of ambiguity in both of their eyes.

Qiu Zhihe, in particular, had also drunk quite a bit of wine, her pretty face flushed, her beautiful eyes rippling like spring water, and she glared at her husband coquettishly.

When Xue Wen saw this scene, he felt bitter and angry.

I'm challenging you, but you're busy flirting with the saint?

That’s too much!

Bang!

Xue Wen slammed the table and stood up suddenly. Amid the chaotic sound of the table being smashed, dishes falling to the ground and cups and bottles breaking, Xue Wen raised his hand and pointed at Qin Gengyun:

"Fellow Daoist Qin, we in the Qinglian Sect don't want trash. If you're trying to deceive Junior Sister Qiu with sweet words, I'll be the first one to disagree!"

"elder brother!"

Xue Wu quickly stood up and tried to pull him, but Xue Wen pushed him away and stared at Qin Gengyun coldly.

Qiu Zhihe's expression turned cold, and just as she was about to speak, Qin Gengyun gently shook her hand. Qin Gengyun slowly stood up, smiled and bowed to Xue Wen:

"Fellow Daoist Xue, I have an average talent and was awakened late. I have suffered from the poison of the elixir for decades and have only reached the seventh level of the golden elixir. Naturally, I am no match for you in terms of cultivation."

The Qinglian Sect members around couldn't help but exclaimed:

"erysipelas?!"

"I didn't expect that he was actually poisoned?"

"It is not easy to cultivate to the seventh level of Golden Core like this!"

"Even though he was suffering from erysipelas, he still persisted in practicing. His willpower is admirable."

Nalan Yan, the leader of Qinglian Sect, is an alchemist, and the disciples all have a good understanding of alchemists.

Knowing the horror of elixir poison, one would be unable to practice in this life once poisoned. Nalan Yan never asked his disciples to clean up the elixir residue, but always replaced the elixir furnace directly, just because he didn't want his disciples to be infected with elixir poison.

I didn’t expect that Qin Gengyun, who was once plagued by elixir poison, could still cultivate to the seventh level of golden elixir. This is already a miracle.

Qin Gengyun's words immediately changed everyone's opinion of him.

At least in terms of his character and will, this man is worthy of being a saint.

Xue Wen sneered: "Since you admit defeat, please leave Junior Sister Qiu. Otherwise, if there is trouble in the future, you will not be able to protect her, and it will be in vain."

Qiu Zhihe finally spoke: "Why do I need him to protect me?"

She looked at Qin Gengyun calmly: "I just need to protect him."

“…”

Everyone stared at her blankly. Qin Gengyun felt moved but also a little helpless.

My lady, I know you are really good to me, but now your admirers are questioning me. If you just say you will protect me, won’t they be more excited?

Sure enough, after hearing Qiu Zhihe's words, Xue Wen's disdain became even stronger, and he sneered at Qin Gengyun:

"Fellow Daoist Qin looks so burly, but I didn't expect him to be a pretty boy. How about this, I won't bully you. I will lower my cultivation to the seventh level of the Golden Core. What are you good at? I will use that to compete with you. Is that okay?"

"No!" Qiu Zhihe objected immediately.

Xue Wen thought the Saint was worried about her pretty husband, and laughed:

"Don't worry, Junior Sister Qiu, I won't hurt your husband. I just want him to understand the Qinglian Sect's rule of not keeping useless people."

"No!" Qiu Zhihe wanted to say more, but was interrupted by Qin Gengyun:

"My lady, it's okay. I know my limits."

Qiu Zhihe held his hand and warned him, "Be careful."

Qin Gengyun smiled and nodded.

Seeing the saint's worried look towards this useless pretty boy, Xue Wen became even angrier. He immediately jumped onto the spacious grassland, and his spiritual power surged, lowering his cultivation level to the seventh level of Golden Core.

He glanced at Qin Gengyun and asked, "What kind of skills are you good at?"

Qin Gengyun said helplessly: "I don't know anything else, I only know physical cultivation."

"Physical training?"

Xue Wenshan looked him up and down, with even more disdain in his eyes.

It seemed as if he was saying that a pretty boy like him dared to practice physical cultivation?

Xue Wen sneered: "In that case, I will practice with you in the way of physical training. Will the physical training collision be good?"

The so-called "body-building collision" is exactly the method that Qin Gengyun often uses when he practices with his second senior brother Cheng Yue, a body-building fanatic, on the Huashen Peak.

It is the most primitive collision between flesh and flesh, which can most effectively exercise the strength of the body.

Back then in Qiu Shui Town, Qin Gengyun tricked Su Hongling into colliding with him in this way, knocking Su Hongling unconscious.

Hearing Xue Wen's confident words, Qin Gengyun kindly reminded him, "Fellow Daoist Xue, if you are not a physical practitioner, this will be very disadvantageous to you."

"Hahaha!"

Xue Wen thought he was mocking him, and laughed in anger:

"Although I am not a physical cultivator, I will not suffer any loss against those pretty boys. Fellow Daoist Qin, don't delay any longer. You will make a fool of yourself sooner or later. It is better to be straightforward. I will still look up to you!"

Qin Gengyun looked back at Qiu Zhihe, spread his hands helplessly, and then bowed to Xue Wen:

"Fellow Daoist Xue, please."

Xue Wen sneered and suddenly tore off his robe, revealing his muscular upper body.

"oops!"

Liu Xiaotang next to him didn't expect him to take off his clothes suddenly. Her cheeks turned red and she quickly covered her eyes.

Xue Wen, however, had no sense of shame and showed his muscles to Qiu Zhihe intentionally or unintentionally.

But he found that Qiu Zhihe didn't even look at him, and her beautiful eyes were focused on the useless pretty boy sitting opposite him.

His face suddenly darkened, and he said to Qin Gengyun, "Are you ready?"

Qin Gengyun was not as showy as him. He did not pull his clothes to show his muscles. He just said calmly:

"bring it on."

Xue Wen roared wildly, exerted force with his legs, and his huge body rushed towards Qin Gengyun like a mountain!

Qin Gengyun also rushed towards him. He and his second senior brother Cheng Yue used to practice this kind of collision training hundreds of times every day.

It was no longer something that made his blood boil.

Under the gaze of dozens of eyes, Xue Wen and Qin Gengyun got closer and closer.

Xue Wu's expression suddenly changed: "Oops!"

As soon as he finished speaking, two equally burly figures collided with each other.

The next moment, Xue Wen flew backwards and crashed straight into the garden more than ten feet away.

"No, that's my wife's favorite garden!"

Qin Gengyun flashed and caught Xue Wen in mid-air.

Xue Wen was held horizontally by him and fell to the ground. Qin Gengyun asked, "Fellow Daoist Xue, are you okay?"

"you……"

Xue Wen blushed and was speechless.

Xue Wu stroked his forehead with one hand: "It turns out that the Saint Lady objected just now not because she was worried about Brother Qin, but because she was worried that my brother would make a fool of himself. Sigh..."
