When that Young Master Zhao walked out, he glanced at Qin Wushuang and Shao Bailong. Yet, he did not pay them much attention and just walked out.
Qin Wushuang inwardly took note of the direction of this Young Master was headed.
Shao Bailong asked in a whisper: “Mister, do you know him?”
Qin Wushuang smiled: “Head Shao, don’t make a big deal of it, he is a disciple of the Nine Palace Faction.”
Inwardly, Shao Bailong’s heat went “thud” and he immediately stopped talking. Then, he walked in with Qin Wushuang. That elder who was in charge of receiving them also felt somewhat surprised when he saw Shao Bailong and Qin Wushuang walking in together.
“Head Shao…”
“Elder Gao, we need to talk.” Shao Bailong said in a low voice.
That Elder Gao already understood as he nodded: “Follow me.”
They arrived at a secret chamber and Elder Gao said with a smile: “Head Shao, from your expression, it seems that there is some good news. Could it be that he has already finished your task.”
Shao Bailong said while choked in sobs: “That’s right. Elder Gao, this Mister has finished the mission and I came here to verify the completion of this mission. I will pay all the remaining commission fees in three days.”
That Elder Gao said leisurely: “Good, good! Indeed, young people show such promise. Head Shao, I am also happy for you. Today, a ten year grudge has ended. Let’s move forward.”
Shao Bailong said respectfully: “Thank you for your advice. With this vengeance ended, I am at ease.”
Elder Gao laughed and said to Qin Wushuang: “Young man, excellent. Please follow me to get the rewards you’ve earned.”
This Elder Gao was highly professional as he did not say the rewards Qin Wushuang wanted. After Shao Bailong had finished acting as a witness, he bid goodbye.
They arrived at another secret chamber and that Elder Gao took out a golden and shining plate. He said to Qin Wushuang: “This is the Nine Raven National Scholar Command Plate, please take it. With this plate, you won’t need any conditions to go in. For all four seasons, there are four times that the Dispersed Praying Mountain will be open to you. If you like, you can go in each time.”
Qin Wushuang took it and still felt somewhat confused. He had truly acquired the Nine Raven National Scholar Command Plate? Indeed, this Nine Raven Empire was as open as the rumors. They were extremely forgiving and easy-going.
“What, do you have any questions?” Elder Gao asked with a smile.
“I was just wondering about how this Nine Raven National Scholar Command Plate can be bestowed on foreign martial artists. It was rumored that the Nine Rave is extremely tolerant, and it seems it is true.” Qin Wushuang said with a long sigh.
Elder Gao said with a smile: “This is a unique trait of the Nine Raven Empire. We incorporate diverse things. As long as one is willing to contribute to the Nine Raven and made enough of a contribution, they are qualified. Of course, the National Scholar Plate you guys get have a different shape than our own plates. However, the difference in appearance does not influence its use.”
Qin Wushuang understood. Since the two types of National Scholar Command Plate was different, it would be easy to distinguish them. This way, even if the foreign martial artists had acquired the National Scholar Plate, they only acquired some form of qualification, and did not mean they had become a citizen of the Nine Raven.
At this moment, Qin Wushuang had somewhat understood the reason of how the Nine Raven Empire had the most strength among all the other human empires. All of this was not without a reason.
“Ok, young man, take this command plate and wait at the border of the Dispersed Mountain. The summer opening day is approaching. Good luck. Please remember that while you are holding this Nine Raven Command Plate, don’t do anything that would harm the reputation and respect of the empire. Or else, this command plate would turn into a bad thing, ha ha ha.”
Qin Wushuang said: “Of course.”
After he walked out the main hall of the Nine Raven Temple, Qin Wushuang walked quickly in the direction that Young Master had left in. As he walked forward, he arrived at a busy main street. Qin Wushuang followed for a moment and did not find that Young Master Zhao. Just while he was feeling somewhat regretful, suddenly, a “bang” sound came from the side.
Like a shooting cannon, a white figure was thrown toward Qin Wushuang.
Qin Wushuang fixed his gaze and recognized that it was a drunk man who had been kicked out by someone. Travelling at a rapid speed, if he continued his momentum toward the ground, most likely his brains would come splattering out.
Instantly, he used his gentle power and grabbed that white figure. Then, he used his technique to make that person land on the ground.
However, before that drunk man could find his feet, he collapsed. He clenched the alcohol bottle with one hand and mumbled: “Give me a drink, why don’t you give me drinks? All I have is money.”
Qin Wushuang shook his head helplessly. He had seen a lot of these drunk men from both of his lives. Just when he was about to walk away, a group of servants and thugs came out from the bar menacingly.
They rushed toward that young man and was about to stomp on him.
Qin Wushuang frowned. If these vicious guys stomped on him, this young man would get stomped to death. He said lightly: “You lot won’t let a drunk man go?”
Those servants just could not find someone to vent their anger on. Hearing Qin Wushuang’s question, a one-eyed servant said with a cold sneer: “Who are you, do you know what this place is?”
Qin Wushuang said lightly: “This is the imperial capital of the Nine Raven Empire.”
“Then you know who we are? You dare to get involved in our business?”
Qin Wushuang glanced at that drunk person: “You can beat him up, a moment ago, if I didn’t catch him with my skill, anyone else would have broken bones from colliding into him.”
“Yo, so you are going to get involved because you have some skills?”
Naturally, Qin Wushuang responded with a cold sneer as he did not want to talk anymore with these people: “I have no time to talk to you.”
He grabbed that young man and was about to walk away. Those servants exchanged glances and started to charge at Qin Wushuang.
As if growing eyes on his back, Qin Wushuang did not turn his head and initiated his Upper Sky Qi from his entire body. Instantly, his protection Qi shot out and shocked these four servants a few meters away.
At this moment, two figures flew from the bar as they shouted: “Mister, stop.”
These two figures were at the Upper Sky Realm.
Inwardly, Qin Wushuang was shocked and turned around: “What do you want.”
“Please put down the person in your hand, and we will not go after you for what just happened.” One of the person said coldly.
“Give me a reason to put him down.” Qin Wushuang said lightly.
“There is no reason, just because this person is our Marquis Fei’s foe. We will not allow anyone to protect our Marquis’ foe.” That person spoke with a tyrannical tone.
Marquis Fei? Qin Wushuang laughed secretly. Indeed, this Nine Raven Empire was an Upper Ranking Empire. Even a Marquis had two Upper Sky guards.
Only, Qin Wushuang was deeply annoyed by their attitude. While this person had almost collided with him, they did not even speak with a single word of courtesy and acted with such tyrannical behaviour. Although Qin Wushuang did not want unnecessary trouble, he would not fear it if trouble came to him.
He slowly shook his head: “I don’t care about the grudges between you guys. However, you guys almost knocked into me, if you are not going to apologize and want to take him, it will not be simple.”
The color on the faces of those two Upper Sky warriors had changed. That person who remained silent shouted: “You are looking for your own death!”
These two drew their weapon and charged towards Qin Wushuang.
At this moment, a figure walked out from the other side of the street. He immediately shouted when he saw this scene: “Hold on!”
That person walked quickly and asked of those two elite warriors of Marquis Fei: “You two, what are you doing?”
This person was Shao Bailong who had just left from the branch of the Nine Raven Temple. The restaurant across the street belonged to the Iron Fan Gate. He was collecting money to give it to the Nine Raven Temple. He immediately stepped in when he saw this dispute.
“Head Shao.” Those two immediately softened their tone when they saw Shao Bailong. One of them said in a flattering tone: “Head Shao, this person is bold and dared to offend the Marquis.”
Shao Bailong’s expression went cold as he said lightly: “I think you guys have got guts.”
These words left those two confused as they asked: “Head Shao, what is the meaning?”
“Does your Marquis have the Nine Raven National Scholar Command Plate?” Shao Bailong asked lightly.
Stunned, those two shook their heads honestly: “Our Marquis does not enjoy such treatment.””
Shao Bailong laughed coldly: “Then, allow me to inform you that this fine young man had the Nine Raven National Scholar Command plate given to him the Nine Raven Temple, I wonder if your Marquis can afford to offend him?”
Those two trembled, what joke was this…?
Nine Raven National Scholar Command Plate? The person who held such things were the elite amongst the elite. They were existences that could do whatever they wanted in the secular world. Even if their Marquis held a high position, he was only an aristocrat in the secular world. He was nothing compared to those National Scholars!
These two looked at Qin Wushuang apologetically and bowed: “We have no eyes, please forgive us.”
Qin Wushuang only laughed coldly and said: “Since we have Head Shao mediating, this is the end to this matter. What kind of grudge does this drunk man have with your Marquis? Why do you guys go after his life?”
Feeling somewhat embarrassed, these two did not know how to answer. Shao Bailong glanced at that person and said strangely: “Isn’t this kid from the Xiao Family?”
Apparently, that drunk person was already confused. He did not speak and smiled at Shao Bailong.
Shao Bailong gave a long sigh: “Mister, could you please come to my restaurant?”
Qin Wushuang answered and felt someone’s gaze on him coming from the third floor where Shao Bailong had pointed. Qin Wushuang raised his head and saw a figure leaving quickly. He never showed himself after closing the curtain.
Inwardly, Qin Wushuang felt somewhat strange and did not expose him. Then, he followed Shao Bailong. That young drunk person also followed as he had become interested when he heard there would be drinks.
Athey approached the restaurant, Shao Bailong was just about to order a feast. Suddenly, an arrogant tone came from the door: “Give me a table of good food, quickly!”
Inwardly, Qin Wushuang was joyful when he heard this sound. Indeed, he was wearing out his iron shoes. Wasn’t’ that Young Master Zhao?
