It was obvious that Qin Shaohong was familiar in the ways of being a pretentious prick. He would even admit this trait to others.
There is a good saying, however, of how one could be awesome if they act pretentiously. Without the strength to back it up, one would be an idiot to act as a pretentious prick, but Qin Shaohong was not without strength. Only, this time he did not have keen eyes and did not see the situation clearly. If you want to bully someone around, you should prey on a pushover and not someone who would be quick to fight back.
Clearly, Illusive Cloud Divine Dog was not a pushover. Therefore, in his eyes, Qin Shaohong’s actions seemed idiotic and unreasonable.
As they were all disciples of the Qin Clan, how come this Qin Shaohong displayed such huge differences than his master? Illusive Cloud Divine Dog also found it strange as he cast away his lip, “The Horse Prince has three eyes? I really did not know that.”
“I will let you know today if you don’t know about it.”
Illusive Cloud Divine Dog said with a cold smile, “Then I will wait for you to fully display your capabilities.”
To tell you the truth, although this Qin Shaohong was powerful, the Illusive Cloud Divine Dog was a spiritual beast at the Perfect Void Martial Stage. His skills and attack power had even surpassed Qin Shaohong.
Even without other helpers, it would be unwise to defeat this Qin Shaohong. Not to mention that he may have other friend concealing themselves in the surrounding area.
Bao Bao was Qin Wushuang’s brother. Because he was going through an upgrade during solitary training, it was impossible for Qin Wushuang not to make any protective arrangements. He sent a few sealed spiritual beasts to protect the surrounding area in secret during the ritual.
At the same time, he had to show consideration for Lone’s feelings. He told the spiritual beasts to be on standby, but to not appear except in the most urgent situations. If it wasn’t for the sudden appearance of this Qin Shaohong, Illusive Cloud Divine Dog would not have appeared at all.
Illusive Cloud Divine Dog stood there straightforwardly and ignored Qin Shaohong. At this time, Illusive Cloud Divine Dog had received Qin Wushuang’s spiritual perception.
“Illusive Cloud, don’t play with him anymore. Bao Bao and Lone are already back. You should also come back with your friends,” he instructed.
Illusive Cloud Divine Dog revealed a thoughtful smile and shot a glance at the aggressive Qin Shaohong. He responded through his spiritual perception, “Master, I did not want to cause trouble; however, this Young Master is not letting matters rest.”
Qin Wushuang said with an indifferent tone, “Tell him, come to find Qin Wushuang at the Ascending Dragon Slope if he has any business to attend to.”
Upon having received his master’s instruction, the Illusive Cloud Divine Dog did not dare to harm anyone at this Ascending Dragon Slope. In general, this was master’s sect. If he were to fight and injure anyone, most likely it would fall back on themselves poorly.
At the moment, he nodded and said to that Qin Shaohong, “My master does not wish to bicker with you. This is the end for today. If you are unwilling to give up, you can talk to my master yourself.”
For your information, under Illusive Cloud Divine Dog’s strong temperament, Qin Shaohong truly did not have the courage to become hostile with him. In the beginning, he thought that this person would not be any more powerful than him.
The more he observed, the more he felt that the other party was not weaker than him at all. Vividly, it seemed that he could be placed above him.
This made Qin Shaohong frightened and flourish with anger, yet in the end he did not dare to act rashly. When he heard the other party saying this, he followed the trend and said, “Who is your master? I should visit him and see who failed in educating their subordinates.”
“Then listen well, my master’s name is Qin Wushuang and he lives at the Ascending Dragon Slope.”
As soon as Illusive Cloud Divine Dog finished speaking, he transformed into a gush of white light and already had disappeared from the sky. Qin Shaohong was dumbstruck as he looked at this scene. For the time being, he was incapable of regaining his senses.
“Qin Wushuang?” This name sounded familiar.
Just when Qin Shaohong was about to speak, he had suddenly remembered something as he slapped his thigh, “Did he say he was Qin Wushuang’s servant?”
That short martial artist followed to flatter him and nodded, “Yes, Young Master Hong. He said something of Qin Wushuang. However, this Qin Wushuang… What? Qin Wushuang?”
Suddenly, the short martial artist also remembered something. Cold sweat dripped down his forehead while his expression changed drastically. In these days, no matter how behind they were on intelligence, they had heard about the name Qin Wushuang.
Although Qin Wushuang’s trip to the Floating Snow House had been kept confidential and not announced to the outside world, his previous stories with the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect had been bubbling and gurgling across the entire Aspiring Throne Mountain Qin clan.
Even for people who had paid no attention, they had more or less heard at least some stories about it.
If it could be said that Qin Wushuang had more or less used all tricks when battling with the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect, no one could ignore the fact that he was received by the Chief himself.
Additionally, when fighting against the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect, not anyone had the strength to use all tricks. If one did not possess absolute strength, what could you use for a trick?
Of course, take any stories you hear to as false, only believe it when you see it. Although Qin Wushuang had gained a tremendous amount of fame in the recent year, many people still felt that sometimes the rumors were exaggerated.
Of course, this Qin Shaohong had heard about Qin Wushuang’s name. Besides, he had heard about it many times before as well. After all, he was the direct and the most prized disciple to Honored Warrior Zhi Huai. Zhi Huai and Qin Wushuang’s ancestor, Qin Yu, were famously known as opponents.
Because of this, when Qin Shaohong heard rumors relating to Qin Wushuang, he could not but help to feel agitated. He always wanted to see whether this Qin Wushuang was as devilish as the legends had said.
Unexpectedly, this chance was placed before him.
It truly was a situation of how one can travel far and wide looking for something, only to find it right in front of their nose. Although Qin Shaohong enjoyed been a pretentious prick, he was not brainless.
Now, if they were to go to the door recklessly with only a few people, surely they would not gain any advantage. Although he was clueless of the relationship between that ugly man in white and Qin Wushuang, it was correct that he had called Qin Wushuang his master.
“Curse it, that Qin Wushuang is only a kid from the human countries. How could he have such a powerful subordinate? It appears that he is respectful to Qin Wushuang and always calls him master,” Qin Shaohong carried such questions in his mind. In the end, he suppressed his urge and decided to think of a better solution.
The short follower was fantastic and shrewd. When he saw Qin Shaohong’s expression, he could sense his subtle change. He reminded him carefully, “Young Master Hong, for this matter, we should talk to Honored Warrior Zhi Huai and let him make the call.”
Initially, Qin Shaohong had planned it this way. Only, he had stayed silent due to his pride. When he saw the short one initiate this idea, he took his scapegoat.
Against this idea another subordinate called out “Young Master Hong, for such a matter, we don’t need to trouble Honored Warrior Zhi Huai, do we? I refuse to believe that a kid from the human countries could have such skill. Young Master Hong, I think this kid has an undeserved reputation. We can use this opportunity to puncture his false reputation and become famous.”
Qin Shaohong’s expression froze. Inwardly, he wondered if this subordinate’s brain was fried. Did you not see the strength of that ugly man in white?
Even if Qin Wushuang had a false reputation, that person’s strength was real. Qin Shaohong did not think he would have enough assurance to even win against him.
Upon hearing the suggestion of this friend, the short one cried out in grief. He slapped the back of the idiot’s head and said, “You are meddlesome. Do you think Young Master Hong cannot make his own decisions? Young Master Hong is so intelligent, surely he has his own plans. Right, Young Master Hong?”
Although this guy’s flattery was not very cunning, Qin Shaohong still enjoyed it. After all, it had given him a way to step down.
He nodded. “For this matter, of course we cannot let things be. Now, however, is not the time to make any reckless moves. Regardless of the situation, everyone is disciples of the Qin Clan now. In order to make a statement from Qin Wushuang, we must ask for the advice of Honored Warrior Zhi Huai.”
Since he said it this way, the others of course could not object. The group left the Ascending Dragon Slope quickly and flew towards Honored Warrior Zhi Huai’s territory.
On the other hand, Qin Wushuang had listened to the detailed story from Illusive Cloud Divine Dog at his own courtyard.
“Qin Shaohong is the direct disciple of Honored Warrior Zhi Huai.” Qin Wushuang thought over the hints within it and pondered over some problems.
Earlier when they were discussing about his core disciple identity at the Upright Morality Hall, the first one to object was Honored Warrior Zhi Huai.
According to Elder Guan Feng’s tone, this Honored Warrior should be the one who bears the brunt when people were not on good terms with ancestor Qin Yu. Now, it was unavoidable for him to oppose Qin Wushuang.
Although Qin Wushuang did not take the initiative to stir up trouble and kept a low-profile, it did not mean he would be a pushover at the Qin Clan.
He had a line that he wouldn’t let others cross. Due to the fact that they were all part of the Qin Clan, he would not go after the past histories. However, if anyone were to use their identity as a veteran to suppress him, Qin Wushuang would not sit and wait to be captured.
According to the rules of the Tian Xuan Land, regardless of facing the outside or the inside, it emphasized the principle that the weak are prey to the strong. Although the Qin Clan was united internally, it did not mean that such things would not happen.
“Master, that kid is really arrogant. If it wasn’t for your instruction to keep a low-profile, I almost could not hold back from teaching him a lesson.” Illusive Cloud Divine Dog still appeared somewhat annoyed.
Indeed, Qin Shaohong’s condescending attitude made him a little disgusted.
Qin Wushuang said with a light smile, “Don’t be so hasty, if this Qin Shaohong was unable to differentiate from good and bad, certainly he will come to stir troubles again. This time, we will see what he is made of.”
Bao Bao squeezed his fist. “Boss, a moment ago I just broke through to my next stage. How about let me exercise my new skills? I will for sure beat him to the ground.”
Qin Wushuang waved his hand. “Now, Qin Shaohong is at the Perfect Void Martial Stage. Although you have entered the Profound Void Martial Stage, combined with the bloodline of the ancient spiritual monkey, you can barely compete with him as an equal. It still would be difficult to win against him. Don’t rush, there will be plenty of opportunities for you to make a move. Are you scared of no opportunities to fight?”
Bao Bao chuckled and scratched his head to retreat to the side.
At this moment, a surge of light shot over from the other side of the hill. Elder Guan Qi had come.
This Elder Guan Qi would not have visited with an ulterior motive as he always seemed to bring some sort of news. This time, he had come in a hurry. Surely, something was going on.
Qin Wushuang went out the door to welcome him, “It’s been a year since we’ve last seen each other, Elder Gua Qi still has the same elegant bearing.”
Guan Qi laughed and said, “Wushuang, having not see you in a year, you’ve made more progress I see. By the way, this time I have come per the instruction of the Third Chief. I need to tell you something important, let’s go in and talk.”
“Please.” Hearing his words, Qin Wushuang was not in a rush to ask him. He guided Elder Guan Qi into the yard.
Besides Bao Bao and Lone, the other sealed spiritual beasts had naturally chosen to stay away. Upon having sit down, Elder Guan Qi went straight to the topic. “Wushuang, recently exceptionally good practical experience have become available. Spots are limited, but the Third Chief wanted to ask whether you’d be interested or not.”
