章 38: Please let me act low-key Part 3

At this moment, Yue Bin couldn't stand it. Acting? She never knew Qin could be this level of actor. Not just her, even Claire was dumbfounded by his acting.

That straight face, humble smile, and words that simply fly above her head, it was award-winning acting for her. Of course, this is simply because she didn't know much about Qin.

Six years, he had stayed in Tan Family for Six years waiting for his opportunity. If he didn't even have this level of acting, he would have been found it long ago.

"Disciple Qin, I am just an old man trying to make someone's future. If this little support can help you, then I will gladly support you. After all, from now on, you are the disciple of Battle Dragon Sect." The Elder Chen made a serious expression and spoke. He patted a spatial ring and a pair of clothes appeared in his hands.

These were the same clothes that the disciples normally wears.

"Disciple Yue will help you find your room! If you find any difficulty in cultivation, you can come to me and ask me anything you want." Elder Chen spoke and finally returned to his seat. As for Qin, he slightly bow in front of Elder Chen and walked away with Yue Bin.

As soon as they walked out of the room, Elder Chen made a big smile on his face "I have planted a good seed. Now, I need to wait for the results."

At this moment, his smile was slowly turning gloomy.

Outside the small mansion, Yue Bin looks at Qin with a bright smile and giggles "I never knew you would flick people like this. Isn't lying to others bad for swordsman?"

"As long as you have a pure intention for the swordsmanship, good and evil doesn't matter. But, I got myself in big trouble." Qin shook his head and gritted his teeth.

'I am surprised you didn't retaliate. If you had retaliated, he wouldn't have got this chance.' Claire's voice rang on his brain.

Qin took a deep breath and asked 'Sister, what just happened? I know he did something to my body but I can't find it.'

'It's not your fault that you can't find it. This is a mystical poison that can slowly let him control your brain.' Claire explained with a solemn tone and continued 'This might be a big problem since I can't remove it now. If you had retaliated, it wouldn't have happened.'

'I couldn't. If I had retaliated, then it would be my demise. Don't you find something suspicious about the mansion? It was very big but we didn't see a single person inside the mansion. Except for the guards, there was no one inside.'

'If he wanted to kill me even if I transform into the devil, I mightn't even match his powers.' Qin shook his head and explained. In fact, he wanted to retaliate when that man placed his hands on Qin's shoulder. But, Qin found the strength difference in an instant so he didn't hesitate to pull off the act.

'So, what are you planning to do now? If you don't solve this problem soon, it might cause a big problem for you.' Claire understood his situation and took a deep breath before asking him.

'I can do nothing. For now, I need to improve my strength and also find everything about this poison. If we can find a remedy, then I will search for it otherwise I will simply train my sword.' Qin answered her.

'Why swordsmanship? Shouldn't you focus on improving your strength and asking the remedy from that guy after thrashing him?' Claire asked with confusion on her head. She didn't understand why Qin wanted to solve everything with his sword.

'Sister, have you ever heard of a phrase 'There is nothing my sword can't cut. Even if there is, then it only means that I am not strong enough. Qin smirked and replied.

His words made her speechless. She couldn't help but mutter 'Before seeing you, I thought swordsmanship was simply a group of people cultivating the sword. Although I had seen some great swordsmen, I have never talked to them.'

'What is swordsmanship? Is it cultivation or your belief? Isn't it simply using the sword for the battle?'

Hearing her questions, Qin suddenly burst into laughter. But soon when he got gaze from Yue Bin, he calmed down. He noticed he was still walking together with Yue Bin. He thought 'You know I have thought about this same question for six years? What is swordsmanship?'

'At first, I thought it was simply using the sword for the battle. Then, I thought it was some sort of cultivation. Then, I thought it was some sort of enlightenment. But, I was wrong. I could never find the answer. I spent six years for nothing.'

'But, this doesn't mean I am going to give up. I want to know why my godfather loves swords so much. I want to know what swordsmanship really means. I want to know what kind of strength can cut everything with a single sword.'

'It might take next six years, sixty years, six hundred years, six thousand years, it doesn't matter. Because no matter how far the answer might be, I will find it.'

After speaking to Claire, he finally clenched his hand and walked closer. He was still hiding half of his face with the hood.

'How confident are you to break this poison?' Claire asked silently in his head.

'I don't know. I can only try it.' Qin answered as they finally reached the massive mansion behind the first mansion. This was even bigger but not in height rather in size. It was spread hundreds of meters around.

"Here, you can live with other disciples. But, if you want to cultivate in silence, you can find three places. First is Dragon Pagoda. It is one of the sacred places for cultivation. If you pay five contribution points, you can practice there for a day."

"Second would be Enlightenment Room. It is also one of the sacred places but for comprehension. Just like Dragon Pagoda, you need to pay contribution points to stay there but unlike Dragon Pagoda, you need to pay double for half a day."

"Finally, if you walk half an hour behind this mansion, you will find separate small gardens. That place doesn't have anything special but you can train your martial arts there for one contribution point each day. And, there must be another token for your identity. That token should be just like mine except with bronze dragon painting."

"Your contribution points can be stored there. And, if you infuse some of your qi in it, you can see your name and how many contribution points you have. Of course, it can be also used for sharing contribution points."

"Take out the token and give it to me first!" Yue Bin extended her hands and Qin took out the circular metallic token with bronze dragon painting on it. He passed it to her.

After receiving his token, she took out hers and touched his token. After that, she infused a little bit of qi in her token and waited.

After ten seconds passes, she separated them and gave them back.

"If you touch other's token with your token and infuse your qi in it. You can share your contribution point with them. One second shares one contribution point and you must hold them together until you shared the desired contribution points."

"Normally, outer disciples get ten contribution points but I don't know much you got. Still, I transferred ten contribution points. You can use it and if you need it again, you can contact me." Yue Bin explained quietly. Fortunately, there weren't many disciples around otherwise they would've been shocked.

"Alright, but how can I contact you?" Qin asked after nodding his head.

"Oh! Here, take this communication talisman and whenever you want to meet me, you can contact me." Suddenly, Yue Bin took a step closer and whispered "Of course, I will visit you every night."

Hearing her words, Qin helplessly sighed and spoke "Alright, you should go now. I will explore everything on my own. If many disciples see us together like this, it would be a huge problem."

"Alright!" Yue Bin giggled and turned around. Then, she walked away without even looking back once. And, that's exactly what Qin wanted. He doesn't want others to be suspicious.

After that, he turned around as well and walked towards the mansion. But before even he could set foot in the mansion, a person suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Are you the new disciple who entered the sect through the back door?" This young man was tall and bulky. His clothes were tattered little and he was wearing a half-sleeve shirt which seems to be torn by himself.

Qin shook his head and answered "No, no, no! I don't even know the back door. I came from the front door."

Then, he pointed his finger towards the front mansion and said "The door in front of that mansion, I came from there."

"Pfftttt! Hahaha, your answer was the perfect little brother." Suddenly, a man walked from behind while bursting into laughter and patted Qin's shoulder.

Not only him, but even a few disciples around him chuckled.

"Do you think this is a joke?" The bulky man glared at Qin and spoke with a hoarse voice.

"Little Brother, you should go aside. I will help you with this." The young man behind him pulled Qin and walked in front of him with confidence beaming out of his body. But, suddenly he turned around and asked "Little Brother, did you truly come from the back door?"
