AST 1235 – Tian Jiange’s Decision, Saint Child Invitation, Rejection

Because the Golden Ni Lion had used the low grade Sacred Beast Pill, it was now considered Qing Sha’s tamed beast now . The huge Golden Ni Lion affectionately circled around Qing Sha .

Qing Sha happily reached out with her hand to touch its head . Demonic beasts which were this strong all had scale like fur .

“Thank you father!” Qing Shui turned back to look at Qing Shui as happily said .

“Silly lass . Is there a need to stand on ceremony with father? Come, let’s go have our meal . ” Seeing that Qing Sha was happy, Qing Shui felt happy as well . Happiness was something which could be spread around .

Qing Shui gave Qing Sha some medicinal pills meant for demonic beasts as well as the crimson pellet in the Nine-Headed Moon Wolf’s core . This was something good and it could be used to improve the demonic beast’s bloodline . It would be extremely helpful for the time when the demonic beast went through a blood awakening .

…

When it was close to noon, Tian Jiange came by . When he saw Qing Shui, he was very happy . After a few polite exchange, he went straight to the point . “My elder brother has gone to meet with Saint Child . The latter wants to have a talk with you . ”

Qing Shui knew that this day would happen, but he hadn’t expected it to come so quickly . He had initially thought that the Saint Child would only come to look for him after some time . He hadn’t expected that the Saint Child would directly say that he wanted to meet him .

“Oh? He wants to meet me? Then let him come here then . ” Qing Shui said without a care . Right now, the Golden Scaled Dragon Elephant had already become stronger and even if Qing Shui had to fight with the Saint Child, it might prove to be useful .

Tian Jiange’s eyes lit up, “He wants you to meet him at his place . ”

Tian Jiange smiled after saying this . His smile had an indescribable emotion, as if he felt a little helpless .

“Elder Brother, what’s wrong?” When Qing Shui saw Tian Jiange’s expression, he knew that the latter must definitely be feeling helpless .

“Saint Child had wanted to get someone to come . I got my elder brother to go look for him, and he promised to do so . However, Saint Child wants you to go look for him and for you to treat his brother .

“Brother, are you afraid of Saint Child and Saint Child Band?” Qing Shui asked .

“I’m not afraid . No matter how arrogant the Saint Child Band is, they wouldn’t dare to do anything to me . It’ll be fine if there are no life-threatening situations between us . However, it’s different for you . Moreover, you let Fu Yanting’s life be threatened . If you don’t treat him, that person won’t let you off . No one would be able to hold him back either . ” Tian Jiange said helplessly .

“Brother, did you elder brother tell you this?” Qing Shui smiled and asked .

“That’s right . it’s because my brother knows well what kind of a person Saint Child is . Qing Shui, listen to me for once . Right now, we don’t have sufficient powers to go against that person . Even my elder brother would only be able to be on the receiving end . ”

“Brother, you still haven’t walked out of those shackles that bind you down . If you don’t get rid of them, you’ll never be able to break through the barriers . You’ll just be like a frog in the well, and the well would be the shackles that tie you down . ” Qing Shui sighed and said .

Qing Shui could understand Tian Jiange’s view . He had similar views previously . If he hadn’t gained the ancient legacy, he would submit to his fate as well and would feel that there would be some people who were unsurpassable existences . However, it was different now . He wasn’t afraid of anyone . He just needed time .

“I understand that but the gap between them and I is far too big . I’m just afraid that something will happen to you . Maybe we should just bear with it a little longer?” Tian Jiange said helplessly .

“I know you’re saying this for my own good . However, for cultivators, there are somethings which we cannot shrink back on . Brother, I hope you can get rid of these shackles . Otherwise, in your future cultivation, you’ll end up restricting yourself one day . You must push forth even when there’s difficulty . Otherwise, when you come across a bottleneck in the future, you’ll lose the determination to break through that bottleneck . Your subconscious would feel that you won’t be able to break through it . It’s just like asking you right now if you feel you can attain a breakthrough to the False God realm . ” Qing Shui smiled and looked at Tian Jiange .

Qing Shui was testing him . If Tian Jiange couldn’t even get past this stage, it would probably be difficult for him to even become a Grade Five State Master in the future .

Tian Jiange’s brows knitted tightly . The impression that his elder brother gave him was far too powerful . How could he face someone whom even his elder brother had reservations for? Although he understood what Qing Shui said, it was very hard to put into practice . This was akin to an ordinary person facing against a group of tigers and lions . How was the person supposed to fight?

“If a person wishes to become strong, he must have a strong heart . ” Qing Shui continued .

Tian Jiange’s frown became even deeper and there was a fierce struggle in his bright eyes . His elder brother was a very powerful and since a young age he had left an unsurpassable impression on him that was very hard to remove . How could it be so simple to be forcibly removing it now?

“Brother, I have my trust in you . This time around, I’ll face it with you together . ” After a very long time, Tian Jiange spoke with certainty . Although it was a little rough, his tone was still very determined .

“Alright . Don’t worry, it’ll be fine . In the future, you’ll learn how right your decision today is . ” Qing Shui smiled and said .

It was better to strike the metal when it was hot . In order to let Tian Jiange gain faith in his abilities, he gave him a drop of the Spring of Life . He knew that Tian Jiange’s character could be trusted and thus he wasn’t afraid that the latter would betray him . Moreover, Qing Shui wasn’t afraid either . He was actually helping Tian Jiange .

Qing Shui had gained a tremendous benefit from the Nine Heavens Golden Pellet that Tian Jiange had given him . Therefore, Qing Shui willingly shared with Tian Jiange some of his own things .

Moreover, Tian Jiange was his friend . In the future, they could help each other out . When the time comes, Tian Jiange could become a leader of an area and he could bring Qing Shui a lot of help . Qing Shui liked Tian Jiange’s character . He was a person with principles, righteousness, and he values relationships .

After Tian Jiange took the Spring of Life, his strength, the of his functions body and his potential all improved tremendously . He looked at Qing Shui in surprise . He had already gotten a lot of benefits from Qing Shui . Could a person who had so many Heavenly and Earthly treasures come from an ordinary background? He trusted Qing Shui as well . Otherwise, he wouldn’t have made the decision he just did .

He had a strange feeling that there was nothing which Qing Shui couldn’t accomplish .

“Brother, if I were to not go, would that Saint Child come personally?” Right now, Qing Shui was together with Tian Jiange, next to the pond in the courtyard . He looked at the fishes in the pond and asked .

“He should . Although Fu Yanting is a little arrogant, the Saint Child still dotes on him . ” Tian Jiange said with certainty .

“Then how many days at most do you think it’ll take before he comes to look for me?”

“Three days . Since he has already made his stand clear, he will come to look for you in at most three days if you don’t go and look for him . ” Tian Jiange knew of the Saint Child’s habits . Usually, when the Saint Child had to look for the other person himself, the latter would not end up with good consequences .

“What kind of a person is Saint Child?” Qing Shui was very curious .

“Decisive, resolute, does not fear rumors, intelligent, and can be considered to be an important character . It’s not strange even if he were to go on an occasional killing rampage . He is considered to be a person who can undertake responsibilities and is always above board . He won’t stoop down to use tricks . It might be because most of the time, the opponent isn’t worth it for him to resort to trickeries . ” Tian Jiange gave his assessment of Saint Child .

Qing Shui didn’t find any of his assessments to be strange . If Saint Child wasn’t someone like that, he wouldn’t have gotten to his current position . Therefore, he had his answers . He merely wanted to know what kind of person the Saint Child was like if he would resort to underhanded methods . Since he was an above board person, it was fine . Of course, he would still have to be on his guard .

Tian Jiange left . Qing Shui hoped that when Saint Child comes, Tian Jiange would come as well . Three days… Although Tian Jiange said that it would be three days at most, Qing Shui knew that Saint Child would definitely come after three days .

In three days, he might have to fight it out with the Saint Child, he might not . It would depend on the situation then . However, Qing Shui felt a faint yearning for there to be a battle .

He just didn’t know if he could have some peace in these three days .

The things that happened in the past few days felt very surreal to Qing Shui . After all, the changes were too tremendous . However, this was something good . He was blown over by happiness .

At noon of the next day, countless human figures appeared in the distant sky .

The previous day had passed by peacefully . Today, Qing Shui causally gave guidance to Qing Sha in the courtyard . Therefore, he had noticed the disturbances from afar very quickly .

Have they come?

Qing Shui lifted his head and looked into the distance . People who could fly like this in the Heaven Secrets Academy would at least have the status of an Elder . Elder Tianyi had come by before, so this time around, the ones who came must definitely be more powerful than Elder Tianyi .

Very quickly, four old men stopped and stood in the air above the manor .

“You must be Mister Qing . We’re here to pick you up . The Saint Child doesn’t have much time on his hands and thus have gotten the few of us to pick you up . ” The old man in the lead had a strong figure and the golden armor he wore made him appear to be like a battle god . The old man didn’t look very old . The lines on his face made him look very strong and there were only faint wrinkles . His eyes were sharp like blades .

“I’ve said it before . If he wishes to see me, he can come personally . Since he’s so busy, then I shan’t disturb him either . ”

“You really think very highly of yourself . Who are you to get Saint Child to come and find you personally?” The old man felt an indescribable fury but his tone was full of contempt .

“Then what rights do you have to be blabbering away before me?” Right now, Qing Shui didn’t give a care for the other party’s status as an Elder .

It was because the old man was representing Saint Child right now, and not the Heaven Secrets Academy . Moreover, if it got reported to the Heaven Secrets Academy that an Elder wasn’t even able to deal with a young disciple, this Elder would be completely humiliated and it would be hard for him to go carry himself in the future .

Therefore, Qing Shui retorted in disdain as well . Moreover, the Heaven Secrets Academy would be too busy to deal with a trifling issue like this .

“Arrogant . Youngsters don’t know how big the world is out there . You really think that you’re unrivaled just because you’ve defeated Tianyi? Let me tell you, this is the Heaven Secrets Academy . It’s no place for you to act so presumptuously . You still have a long way to go . ” The old man was so angry that he broke out into a laugh and said .

“Old man, I’m young and arrogant but you’re an old fool . Do you think that I don’t have some tricks up my sleeves when I dare to speak to you like this?” Qing Shui smiled and replied .

The old man was stunned for a moment . He looked at Qing Shui seriously and said, “Today, you’ll have to come no matter what . ” The old man said forcefully before pouncing toward Qing Shui .

In consideration of Qing Sha, Qing Shui dashed up into mid-air at an incredulous speed as he used the Nine Palace Steps .

Taichi Slash!

Qing Shui spun his right hand and then his palm attack turned from a spin to a hack!

Taichi Golden Chi!

Break!

Qing Shui had brought the profoundness of Taichi to a great level of mastery . This slash was no longer considered to be Taichi but was just using the stance of Taichi to strike with a fierce force and essence .

At Qing Shui’s level in the martial parts, he no longer restrained himself on fixed stances but rather, whatever he used would be a stance . However, there would still be the shadows of other attacks . For example, Qing Shui’s Taichi Slash came from Taichi and exuded a strong feeling of the technique .
