บท 126: Master Xia
If a person is killed, he will die.
Is this really what's called science?
Liu Qing was a bit doubtful for the moment. She stared at Chen Xia with her eyes and changed the topic.
"Two senior brothers from the previous batch have made an appointment for a one-on-one fight. Do you know about it?"
"No, and what does it have to do with me?" Chen Xia frowned.
"This is a fight between Di Du and Qiu Li. They were the strongest disciples of the previous batch, two potential Great Emperors. Don't you even want to watch this?"
Liu Qing's words sounded a bit anxious.
"Nope." Chen Xia replied very calmly. There was really nothing interesting about the fight between Di Du and Qiu Li.
If they had fallen in love with each other, maybe Chen Xia would have been a bit interested.
"I really don't understand you." Liu Qing rolled her eyes and followed beside Chen Xia, asking again.
"What do you think about joining the alliance that I mentioned last time? Li Yang and I have discussed it. Although the salary is a bit low, it's always like a big family. It can also prevent us from being bullied by others."
"A big family?" Chen Xia asked back.
"Yes." Liu Qing nodded. "We're all in this big family, taking care of each other and huddling together for warmth."
Chen Xia laughed and shook his head, saying, "It's useless to place your hopes on others. Huddling together for warmth is even more of a joke. I've never really trusted people."
"Why?" Liu Qing frowned and asked.
"Aren't you the same?" Chen Xia asked with a smile.
Liu Qing's face froze for a moment, and she didn't reply anymore. Her steps slowed down, as if they had become heavier, and she fell behind Chen Xia. After a long while, she said in a deep voice.
"I just want everyone to survive."
"Survive under your command, um... or under Li Yang's command?" Chen Xia asked with a smile.
"There's always a price. It's impossible to get benefits without paying anything." Liu Qing frowned and refuted.
"That's right." Chen Xia nodded, with a calm expression on his face. "Adding the name of a big family to it really makes me..."
"Disgusted."
His evaluation was very straightforward.
"Haha." Liu Qing smiled expressionlessly, quickened her steps, walked side by side with Chen Xia, straightened her petite body, trying to show that she was no weaker than Chen Xia, and said.
"You're quite good at seeing through people."
"Didn't really look. Just guessed." Chen Xia replied casually while carrying the alchemy furnace with one hand.
"How did you guess?" Liu Qing was a bit curious.
"I just think that people who had a hard life when they were young won't be so kind-hearted when they grow up." Chen Xia replied.
"But there must be people who are really kind-hearted like that." Liu Qing was puzzled.
"There are, but not as deliberate as you." Chen Xia twisted his head. If he were really a preparatory disciple, he might have been moved by Liu Qing's kind-heartedness and joined immediately.
Liu Qing put her finger in her mouth and bit her nail, with a complicated look on her face.
"So you saw through it and that's why you didn't join, right?"
Chen Xia didn't reply and just kept walking on his own.
Liu Qing seemed a bit indignant and followed to explain, "But even if it's a relationship of using each other, it's still of great benefit to you. It can also be considered as protecting you. All you need to do is contribute a bit of money and effort."
"Even we can give you money. There are only benefits for you. Why wouldn't you join?"
Chen Xia turned his head, with a bit of impatience on his face, raised his eyebrows, and said.
"Because you guys are so boring. It's something like kids playing house. It's for you kids to play with. Why are you asking me?"
Chen Xia's words seemed like a blow to Liu Qing, like a shrimp having its shrimp line removed and being unable to move anymore.
Liu Qing was stunned and couldn't keep up with Chen Xia's pace anymore. She could only stare blankly at Chen Xia's figure walking away.
Kids playing house?
Was this his evaluation of the alliance that she had painstakingly managed for two hundred years?!
Liu Qing gritted her teeth. There was some anger in her dull eyes. She quickly caught up with Chen Xia and said in a deep voice.
"How could it be kids playing house? We're now the most powerful force among the preparatory disciples. Given more time, even the minor elders will have to treat us as equals and show us courtesy!"
Chen Xia nodded, "Kids and minor elders being on equal footing. Yeah, they're both in the 'minor' category."
"How arrogant!" Liu Qing shouted in a low voice, her eyes narrowing. "You, a down-and-out preparatory disciple, dare to make such an evaluation. On what grounds?!"
"I'm getting a bit annoyed." Chen Xia frowned. "Stop following me."
He carried the alchemy furnace and didn't stop walking.
Liu Qing gritted her teeth but still took a step forward.
Suddenly, a hand appeared in front of her, grabbing her entire head tightly, as if the whole world was pressing down. The imposing manner made her unable to move at all, and cold sweat broke out all over her body.
"Can't you understand what I'm saying?"
Chen Xia asked with a frown.
Liu Qing couldn't reply anymore. Her body was trembling slightly, and she was so horrified that she was almost on the verge of fainting.
Chen Xia withdrew the hand that was grabbing her head and replaced it with one finger on her forehead, shouting.
"Get lost."
Liu Qing's figure instantly flew back thousands of meters and collapsed on the ground, soaked in sweat. She had an extremely horrified expression on her face. At the moment when Chen Xia grabbed her head, Liu Qing really felt that she was already dead.
Her heart was still trembling. Recalling what had just happened, she was so scared that she couldn't even gather her spiritual energy. At the same time, a horrified question popped up in her mind.
Could he really be a preparatory disciple?!
Thousands of meters away, Chen Xia, who had politely sent Liu Qing away, quickly returned to his own cave.
He had just made that move mainly to intimidate her and didn't use any real strength at all.
Liu Qing was only at the Great Vehicle Realm. If he had really used a bit of strength, Liu Qing might have lost an arm or a leg.
Although it wouldn't be a serious injury, there was no need for that.
Moreover, Chen Xia was still wearing the pitch-black ring and was in a probation period. He couldn't hurt other disciples without a reason, or there would be additional punishments later.
Chen Xia put the alchemy furnace outside the cave, planning to use it to make soup in the future. Then he wiped the pitch-black ring on his hand.
This was called taking care of the limited-edition medal.
He was the only one in the entire Heavenly Sword Sea wearing this pitch-black ring, so it was really a limited edition.
He tidied up a bit and planned to go to the Sword Forest to look for the big yellow dog.
According to what Zhang Daoming said, the big yellow dog seemed to be in seclusion. He didn't know exactly how it was.
Chen Xia was just about to set off when there was another visitor outside the cave.
"Lord Xia, may I come in, sir?" A trembling inquiry rang out.
Chen Xia frowned, "Which eunuch is it?"
"It's me, Pan Da Dao. I'm the minor elder you beat up before, and you also borrowed spirit stones from me later." The voice continued.
With this reminder, Chen Xia had an impression. Immediately, he waved his hand and said, "I don't have any money to pay you back now. Come back in a few days."
"No, no. I wouldn't dare to ask you to pay me back, sir. I just thought that you were coming back soon, so I came here specifically to ask for an audience with you."
"Why do you want to see me? Let me make it clear first. I really don't have any money to pay you back. Come back in a few days." Chen Xia replied.
"No, no. I really don't dare to ask for your money." There was even a bit of a crying tone in Pan Da Dao's words.
Chen Xia frowned. Why did he feel that he seemed to have become a bully?
It felt a bit like when he was in Wei Xi Town.
Have to mention.
It was quite enjoyable!
