Li Wenji’s words drew the attention of all the surrounding disciples.
“Isn’t that the Saint Son of the Yin Sect? It looks like he’s planning to challenge the Holy Maiden of the Alchemy Sect’s pretty boy.”
“Oho, this is going to be good. I’ve already got my snacks and tea ready.”
Qin Mengyu looked at Li Wenji, her beautiful eyes cold.
“Senior Brother Li, I respect you as a Senior Brother and have been lenient toward you, but if you insist on being unreasonable…”
The meaning behind Qin Mengyu’s words was already very clear.
“Junior Sister Qin…”
Looking at how protective Qin Mengyu was, Li Wenji felt a surge of rage in his heart. How could he not compare to this pretty boy?
Whether it was cultivation or appearance, he was far superior.
“Kid! If you have the guts, don’t hide behind a woman!”
Well then.
Qin Mu looked at the aggressive youth in front of him and was just about to speak when Miss Mengyu beat him to it.
“Senior Brother Li! If you say another word, don’t blame me for being heartless!”
As soon as Qin Mengyu’s voice fell, a burst of Qi forced Li Wenji and Li Botian back several steps.
Li Wenji: “!!!”
He knew Qin Mengyu was definitely stronger than him, but he never expected her strength to be so terrifying.
Just from her aura alone, he couldn’t see even a glimmer of hope for victory.
“This Senior Brother.”
Qin Mu spoke up, because he felt that if he didn’t say anything, the way this Senior Brother was looking at him would continue to be spine-chilling.
“There’s something I want to say.”
Li Wenji raised an eyebrow.
“What, kid? Do you want to challenge me to a duel?”
If that were the case, Li Wenji guaranteed he would beat this kid until he was flying across the sky.
Qin Mu shook his head.
You have to be joking.
You’re already in the Golden Core Realm, and I’m just in the Qi Refining Stage.
What would I use to fight you?
Unless I used a cheat, but I don’t have one of those systems that modern transmigrators usually get.
“I wanted to say, Senior Brother, that I am just a Qi Refining Stage disciple. I don’t have much ability, so hiding behind a woman is perfectly reasonable.”
Besides, is there a problem with Young Master Qin hiding behind his own Elder Sister!
Hearing this, not only Li Wenji, but even the surrounding disciples were shocked.
“Damn! He actually said living off a woman is reasonable with such a grand air!”
“Someone this thick-skinned should be replaced by… cough, should be eradicated by me!”
Li Wenji was fuming with rage. Just as he was about to strike, he was stopped by Li Botian beside him.
Li Botian had a smiling face that gave Qin Mu an eerie feeling.
As the saying goes, people with squinty eyes are monsters.
“Hehe, we were disrespectful this time. We hope Her Highness will forgive us.”
“Wenji, let’s go!”
Li Botian pulled Li Wenji away.
On the other side, Qin Mengyu had a dark expression as she pulled her Qin Brother upstairs.
If Li Wenji had continued to be unreasonable just now, Qin Mengyu really would have attacked. She wouldn’t care about the Elder Council; at most, she would endure the pain of separation and let Mu’er stay at Aunt Lu’s place for a while. She doubted they would dare to make a move at Lu Qian’s residence.
Qin Mu’s act of shamelessly living off a woman made the disciples present, especially the men, incredibly envious. I
f possible, they hoped the heavens would give them such an opportunity.
After all, Heavens! We are all your children; you can’t be so biased!
With the incident with Li Wenji, Qin Mu spent the following days taking a detour whenever he saw him to prevent a cornered dog from biting.
Just like that, time flew by.
There were only five days left until the end of the new disciple trial.
It was almost over, and many more teams had arrived at the Imperial Capital Branch, while some had already been taken away early by their leading Elders.
During this period, Qin Mu made a special trip to visit Jing Kun.
As expected, the man started cursing the moment he saw him.
Seeing that he was still so lively, Young Master Qin didn’t say much, only thinking that this guy’s vitality was quite resilient.
Of course, Qin Mu also visited Zixi Senior Sister several times.
He thought that nearly ten days had passed and her Closed Cultivation hadn’t ended yet.
Moreover, judging by the situation, the Spirit Energy in the area showed no signs of weakening.
Young Master Qin went to ask Miss Mengyu, and his Elder Sister said that this was the pace of preparing for consecutive breakthroughs.
She also said that Liu Zixi’s talent was quite good and showed glimpses of her own shadow from back then.
To this, Young Master Qin could only think: damn, why are the people around me all monsters?
It makes a loser like me feel so out of place!
Qin Mu’s eyes were fixed on the blazing Danfire in front of him.
Beside him, Miss Mengyu was sitting cross-legged, refining a Pill. Getting bored, Young Master Qin pushed open the door and prepared to go downstairs to look around.
The Seven Stars Sect Branch in the Royal Capital was very large.
Besides this area, there was a large backyard, which was a space personally opened by the powerful experts of the Sect for the disciples to use for Cultivation and living.
As for the floor Qin Mu was on, it was more like another world.
Once you went upstairs, you would enter the interior of a Formation.
Although the scale couldn’t compare to the disciple residences in the backyard, the specifications were much higher.
It was generally used to entertain distinguished guests.
The rooms upstairs were also quite large.
Those who could stay here were at least at the Elder level.
Further in were the residences for the Saint Sons and Holy Maidens.
At the very back were the rooms prepared for the Grand Elder, the various Sect Leaders, and the Sect Master.
Qin Mu was currently staying in the room belonging to the Sect Master, which was an order personally given by Lu Qian.
As for the Qin Family Sisters, although they were the Holy Maidens of the Sword Sect and Dan Sect on the surface, everyone in the Seven Star Sect knew they were very close to the Sect Master, so no one dared to be negligent.
Just as he stepped out and had walked a short distance—before even reaching the stairs—Qin Mu happened to run into Li Wenji, who had also just come out.
Qin Mu: “…”
It seemed he should check the almanac before going out next time; it wouldn’t be good if he got bitten by a dog.
Holding the idea of not causing trouble, Qin Mu kept his distance, wanting to bypass Li Wenji.
“Stop right there!”
Li Wenji shouted. Although Qin Mu didn’t want to cause trouble, Li Wenji didn’t think that way.
It wasn’t easy to run into a lone Qin Mu, and he didn’t want to let this chance slip by.
In the past few days, this kid had been inseparable from Senior Sister Qin.
If it weren’t for the fact that he couldn’t beat her, given his personality, how could he have swallowed his pride?
Sigh—
Qin Mu sighed inwardly.
Blessings aren’t disasters, and disasters can’t be avoided.
It seemed what was meant to come had arrived.
He didn’t know if his personal charm was too great or if he just attracted trouble wherever he went.
Why was there always someone who couldn’t get along with him?
“I wonder if Senior Brother has a reason for calling me?”
Even though Qin Mu was reluctant, he still politely performed a bow.
A cold glint flickered in Li Wenji’s eyes as he stepped closer to Qin Mu.
“Junior Brother, has no one told you? When ordinary disciples see a Saint Son or Holy Maiden, they cannot call them ‘Senior Brother’ or ‘Senior Sister’. Furthermore, your bow just now was not according to the rules. It seems this Senior Brother needs to teach you properly.”
Qin Mu rolled his eyes.
This was just looking for trouble.
If he had stepped out with his left foot first, would this guy have said that didn’t follow the rules either?
Against this kind of method of trying to frame Young Master Qin using rules, Young Master Qin wasn’t afraid at all, because…
Qin Mu pulled out an object and showed it to Li Wenji.
“Then I’d like to ask Senior Brother, what should you do when you see this?”
