As he was filled with emotion and lamented over his own fate, Ruan Jing still had a bright smile plastered on his face, “Hahaha, it seems that I was overthinking things. Brother Qin’s cultivation pierces through the heavens, and you have no need to fear common people. Even if Saints move against you, you will surely have some great figure protecting you from behind. After all, someone with unlimited prospects like Brother Qin will be fine even against Saints!”
Were my words blunt enough? Did they make you feel good enough? Hey, why do you have such a dark and gloomy frown? Don’t push things too far here. I am still a dignified scholar from Guiding Chapter Academy. For better or worse I am a person with status, and I still care about face.
If you want me to go further than this, I’m afraid I won’t be able to say it!
Seeing the silent Qin Yu, Ruan Jing’s expression was a bit stiff. As he thought about adjusting his bottom line a little, Qin Yu finally said, “You’re saying that the Saints might move against me because of the Space Laws?”
How ridiculous!
It’s a pity that you haven’t won an award with your acting skills.
Such a simple thing was placed right in front of you, so why do you have such a sad face as if you’ve just learned bad news?
Who are you acting for…?
Ah…if Qin Yu had changed his ways and wanted to hear a few more compliments, that made sense. After all, everyone had their own sense of vanity, not to mention that Ruan Jing’s flattery was exceptionally enjoyable!
But to deliberately put on an act as if he didn’t understand, what use was there besides appearing extremely ignorant?
Ruan Jing looked at Qin Yu, and then looked at him again. This wasn’t the ridiculing thoughts that Zhou Lei had, but an earnest observation of the mood he showed.
Why did he feel as if this was real? Ruan Jing’s heart shrank and his expression fell. He couldn’t help but howl in sorrow inside, “This can’t be!”
Qin Yu really had no idea what the Space Laws represented…
Heavens! From which corner of the world did this backwater cultivator come from!?
But when did laughable and ridiculous backwater cultivators become so strong?
And this one even grasped the Space Laws!
Rice Paper and Zhou Lei couldn’t help but look at Qin Yu with wide eyes, as if they were looking at some kind of deity.
Seeing Ruan Jing look as if he was struck by thunder and not having collected himself yet, Rice Paper cautiously said, “Fellow daoist Qin, do you really not know what the Space Laws mean?”
Qin Yu looked at her, “If you tell me then I’ll know.”
At this moment, Rice Paper couldn’t help but think that if Qin Yu were acting, then his performing skills had truly reached the peak.
If not…then he was in for some trouble!
One asking and another answering, Rice Paper replaced Ruan Jing in explaining what the Space Laws represented in detail.
She couldn’t help but be detailed, because Qin Yu was asking seriously. Everyone was infected by his seriousness and became nervous.
So the Space Laws represented one’s future growth potential. Even the majority of Saints that stepped onto the Great Dao weren’t able to grasp them.
Never before had Qin Yu felt the need to urgently figure out a way to learn more news about the cultivation world, otherwise he never would have made such a low-level mistake.
In fact, he didn’t even need to come to the Endless Sea in the first place. As long as he displayed his Space Laws, he would have been directly invited into Peach Blossom Spring.
Of course, at that time Qin Yu would have had to carefully guard against the possibility that the Peach Blossom Spring Master might want to take advantage of his Space Laws.
But now he no longer needed this worry, because he had provoked an even greater trouble for himself.
It was clear that the spirit body in the Endless Sea had long since been locked onto by numerous Saints. As long as they weren’t blind, they would have sensed fluctuations of the Space Laws.
And before entering the realm within a realm, far too many people had seen Qin Yu display the Space Laws.
Even if the majority of them had died in the mystic realm, as long as a single one survived, then his troubles would be immense.
Now, there were at least four of them!
Sensing Qin Yu’s unkind expression, Rice Paper quickly waved her hand, “Fellow daoist Qin Yu, rest assured that we are all grasshoppers on the same rope. We won’t say anything at all. If something happens to you, we won’t have a good ending either!”
Her words were actually correct.
But Qin Yu’s complexion was still dark and gloomy. It was like a calamity just fell down from the skies, crashing into his head and making him feel annoyed and depressed.
Damn it!
Ruan Jing had already regained his composure. As he listened to Qin Yu speak with Rice Paper, he eventually determined something.
It was true. Qin Yu really had no idea what the Space Laws meant…and from his performance, he never thought that something like that was too precious.
As he thought about how he tried so hard to grope at the Space Laws for so many years, even attempting countless possibilities with the help of the academy teachers, and yet never truly stepping onto the Great Dao of Space, he felt blood rush into his throat before he managed to forcibly swallow it back down.
Stand firm! Stand firm! I cannot lose face like that here!
Ruan Jing stared at Qin Yu, his eyes reddening a little. He wanted to shout out, we are all men, so why are you so outstanding?
Qin Yu wasn’t in the mood to pay attention to Ruan Jing’s jealousy. He frowned as his thoughts raced.
The three cultivators in front of him had no reason to joke with him at all. And looking at their expressions, they were even more surprised than he was.
It was most likely…this was what happened!
In other words, in the eyes of numerous Saints, he was a little boy recklessly and blindly running around with a gold coin in his hand, completely oblivious to the danger he was in.
In this situation, if they didn’t snatch him up, what were they going to let him go for? To become an extra side dish in someone else’s bowl?
Thinking about things from a different perspective, it wasn’t difficult to guess what the Saints must be thinking. Qin Yu’s complexion became even uglier!
Run! He had to run! And extremely fast at that!
If he was discovered by the Saints, he would die without a burial ground.
Right now, he could barely be considered as having stepped into the realm of high-level cultivators. By now, Qin Yu had already learned that these so-called great figures had thoughts that were no different from ordinary people’s.
As long as there were enough benefits, they would take action. As for honor and face…could they eat that?
Zhou Lei suddenly said, “Brother Qin, in your situation, escaping is useless. Since the Saints know of your existence, it is only a matter of time until you are discovered.”
He welcomed Qin Yu’s gaze and steadily said, “Right now, your only solution is to find a formidable enough backer, one strong enough that the other Saints cannot move against you without having scruples of their own. Of course, if Brother Qin comes from some formidable influence to begin with, then there is nothing I can say.”
But these latter words were of course nonsense. If he had such a great background, would he have such an expression right now?
However, Zhou Lei clearly had something else to say, “Perhaps Brother Qin hasn’t heard the name of my Thunder Dominion, but I can guarantee Brother Qin that as long as you join us and become a cultivator beneath the Imperial Master, even those Saints would have to show three points of caution!”
Rice Paper humphed at Zhou Lei, thinking that good people could turn bad in the blink of an eye. When it came to snatching people up, he was actually so fast.
“Fellow daoist Qin, my honorable master is Half-Saint Folded Kite. She is recognized as one of the strongest Half-Saints in the myriad heavens. She is on good terms with many Saints and her personal connections are at the peak. If fellow daoist Qin is willing to become a disciple of my honorable master, I can guarantee your safety!”
You are all too excessive! If you want to blow your own horn, at least be honest about it!
Ruan Jing’s face was full of smiles as he said, “Brother Qin, Guiding Chapter Academy is your best choice. There are two Half-Saints in our academy, and their style has always been to protect their shortcomings. As long as you want it, I am willing to ask the Senior Dean to accept you as an apprentice in place of their late teacher. In the future, when it comes to seniority, these two who just spoke to you will have to call you martial uncle!”
He had to pull Qin Yu into entering Guiding Chapter Academy. At that time, if they were together night and day, would he still be afraid that he wouldn’t learn how to cultivate the Space Laws? Ruan Jing glanced at Zhou Lei and Rice Paper, his eyes full of disdain.
One was stuck in the old and overly righteous ways and the other only cared about appearing detached and uncaring about all things. How could they struggle with our academy?
They couldn’t, whether it was in terms of wealth or number of people!
The wounded Soaring Sky suddenly opened his eyes, “Fellow daoist Qin, if you wish to enter my Transcendent Sword Sect, I can act as your guarantor!”
Ruan Jing was stunned. In a moment of excitement he had forgotten about the Transcendent Sword Sect. When those sword-wielding lunatics wanted to steal someone away, they were always fierce.
The academy wouldn’t necessarily be able to stop them!
As someone with a powerful cultivation base, who also grasped the Space Laws and was even able to finish off the spirit body in the realm within a realm, Qin Yu was certainly worth winning over.
The reason there was no movement before was because they never imagined that Qin Yu was a backwater cultivator who didn’t understand the importance of the Space Laws!
Uh…he could even be called history’s most formidable and brave backwater cultivator!
Struggle, they certainly had to struggle, even if they bled from their heads!
Qin Yu rubbed his chin, feeling a bit uncomfortable. In the blink of an eye, he had become a ‘sweet pasty’ in the eyes of these cultivators.
Looking for a backer…yes, that was indeed the best choice he could make right now.
But Guiding Chapter Academy, the Transcendent Sword Sect, Thunder Dominion, or even the Half-Saint Folded Kite with her ugly handwriting, weren’t the choice he wanted to make.
The thigh he had to grab onto was Peach Blossom Spring!
