Chapitre 765: Chapter 135 Long Aotian's Challenge_1
If Qin Xiao knew about Poison Not Dead's thoughts, he would definitely find it utterly speechless.
He had seen many powerful and influential women, even Divine Kings from the Divine Realm, but the idea of using power and influence to sway him? Was that even possible?
He himself was the most powerful and prestigious person.
Such things hardly moved him anymore.
But in the next moment, he suddenly sensed a gaze that wasn't very friendly.
Following the gaze, he spotted a youth.
And the youth, upon realizing Qin Xiao's look, didn't show any intention of dodging; instead, he proudly lifted his chin.
Full of provocation.
That must be Long Aotian, right? Qin Xiao immediately identified the youth with a matching profile in his mind.
He just smiled slightly and withdrew his gaze; a character like Long Aotian was not worth his attention.
"Welcome, Sect Master!"
"Welcome, Sect Master!"
"..."
As Poison Not Dead and Qin Xiao slowly approached, several hundred people in front of the mountain gate called out in unison.
"Hahaha, you all are too kind. Come, follow me back to the sect gate,"
laughed Poison Not Dead, waving his hand.
The crowd automatically parted, creating a path for everyone to pass through.
...
Inside the Sect Main Hall.
After listening to the Sect Disciples, including Jinpeng, recount the recent changes within the sect and their strategic planning, Poison Not Dead nodded with satisfaction.
"I had been worried that Shrek Academy and the Sun-Moon Empire would send strong warriors in retaliation. But after seeing your arrangements, I feel at ease. You have all worked hard during this time, so go and rest,"
"Wei Na, stay behind."
After commending them, Poison Not Dead gestured for the people to leave.
Soon everyone left, and only Qin Xiao, Poison Not Dead, and Wei Na remained in the hall.
"Wei Na, I know you are curious as to why I asked you to stay. Hey, I have an important assignment for you,"
spoke Poison Not Dead, a sly glint in his eyes as he continued, "He is called Qin Xiao, a disciple of our Body Sect who has fallen outside. Today, it's like acknowledging ancestors and returning to one's roots..."
However, before he could finish, Qin Xiao coldly interrupted, "Can you not make up facts? I want to emphasize once again that coming to the Body Sect was not my will, but because I was captured, captured, captured!"
Repeating the important matter three times, Qin Xiao hadn't yet received any benefits and was not about to let Poison Not Dead have his way.
But Poison Not Dead also had the spirit of shamelessness; he chuckled, "You've already stepped into the Body Sect's gate and have been marked by our sect.
'You're here, so you might as well accept it,' I think to myself. Just accept it."
Qin Xiao glanced coldly at Poison Not Dead and slowly extended his hand.
All was said without words.
Although Wei Na didn't understand exactly what the old man meant, her heart was greatly shocked.
The Sect Master Poison Not Dead was a transcendent presence in the Body Sect, yet he seemed to be somewhat appeasing Qin Xiao?
What was going on?
Could it be that the Sect Master had some sort of leverage in Qin Xiao's hands?
"Hmph."
Poison Not Dead snorted coldly, no longer looking at Qin Xiao, but instead said to Vina, "First, take the kid to familiarize himself with the surroundings, then arrange a residence for him. From now on, you will be in charge of his daily affairs in the sect. I have an announcement to make in a few days."
"Yes,"
Vina nodded heavily.
Although Qin Xiao's attitude while speaking to Poison Not Dead was as such, she dared not do the same.
She was very clear about her own status and position.
...
"Old Jin, what do you think of this kid?"
Once Qin Xiao and Vina had left the hall, Poison Not Dead spoke languidly.
As his voice trailed off, Jinpeng emerged from a dark corner of the room.
Apparently, Jinpeng had returned to the hall at some point without notice.
In a low voice, Jinpeng responded, "I can't quite see through this kid... he possesses a calm and wisdom beyond his peers."
"If he can be brought to serve our Body Sect, he might very well bring great prosperity to our sect."
When a person's talent and disposition are both outstanding, it's difficult even if one wanted to fade into obscurity.
In his view, Qin Xiao was destined to stand at the pinnacle of Soul Land, with an immeasurable future ahead.
Poison Not Dead nodded and then said, "Old Jin, if there's anything else, just say it outright."
Jinpeng hesitated a moment and then said, "I just feel that it might not be so easy to subdue this kid."
"That is true... but we have no need to force him into submission. I might as well just give him the Body Sect outright, let him be in charge. Surely, he won't neglect his own heritage, will he?"
"Sect Master, are you playing with fire!?" exclaimed Jinpeng, alarmed.
Poison Not Dead went silent for a bit before replying, "Old Jin, I don't have much time left. Long Aotian is indeed excellent, but Qin Xiao is undeniably a better fit for our Body Sect.
The Gold Rank awakening, you know how important it is to us...."
Jinpeng was silent.
...
"Boss, let's go..."
Outside the Sect Main Hall, the fatty kept calling to Long Aotian.
But Long Aotian's eyes were fixed intently on the hall's door, not even glancing away once, "Fatty, what do you think the Sect Master wants with Vina staying behind?"
What for?
The question sent a tremor through Fatty's heart.
Vina was so young and beautiful, a goddess in the eyes of many sect disciples.
He had also seen the young man who had arrived with the Sect Master today.
Clearly, he was no ordinary individual.
The purpose of leaving Vina behind must be as a companion.
But...
