Chapter 190: The Elders Are Angry

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation      Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Su was lying on the bed. Even now, her face was still covered by a black veil.

“Are you feeling better today?” Lin Qian asked with concern.

Su nodded silently.

Lin Qian revealed a guilty expression. He took out a jade bottle and said softly,

“I didn’t know that this would happen. This time, I’ve harmed you.” This Essence Clearing Pill is a great tonic. Take it.”

Su quivered.

Suddenly, her eyes fell on the jade bottle in Lin Qian’s hand.

She had naturally heard of this Essence Clearing Pill. This was an extremely precious and rare pill that was especially suitable for female cultivators to consume. It was extremely beneficial for cultivation, and it would be a waste to use it to treat injuries.

“Who exactly are you?” Su no longer looked at the jade bottle. Instead, she turned to Lin Qian, her tone cold.

She had naturally heard of this Essence Clearing Pill. However, she still knew how precious this medicinal pill was. Although the Heart Lake Sword Sect was one of the top sects on the Heavenly Origin Supercontinent, it did not have the right to take out a pill as great as the Essence Cleansing Pill.

Before this, she had thought that Lin Qian was the disciple of an elder of her sect. It was only when the other party took out the Essence Clearing Pill that she realized that Lin Qian was not a disciple of her sect. Then, where did the token in Lin Qian’s hand come from?

What was his purpose?

Lin Qian chuckled. His expression was calm as he placed the Essence Clearing Pill in front of Su. “Anyway, I don’t have any grudges with Junior Sister.” “How’s the matter you asked me to do?” He asked again.

Seeing Lin Qian’s calm expression, Su hesitated for a moment before shaking her head. “It wasn’t him.”

Lin Qian was not surprised by this. He nodded and said, “Thank you for your hard work, Junior Sister. Rest assured and recuperate. Leave the matter of refining the sword to me. I definitely won’t let you down.”

With that, he left.

Su looked at that figure. The more she looked, the more she felt that this person was unfathomable.

In a quiet valley, Sha Ning and the sallow-faced man were chatting. Although the two of them looked unharmed, their complexion and spirit were far inferior to before.

The two of them were not spared either, and both suffered varying degrees of injuries.

“This is what you wanted.” The sallow-faced man handed a jade scroll to Sha Ning.

Sha Ning took it and put it away without even looking at it.

“This is my deposit.” Seeing that Sha Ning did not move, the sallow-faced man was very satisfied. “I’ll give you the other half when this matter is over. I’ll tell you the exact time then.”

“Alright.” Sha Ning nodded without batting an eyelid.

With that, he walked out without looking back.

When Li Ming and the other two saw the sect master and the few elder uncles, they immediately became extremely obedient.

“Hmph, you guys are really good. You went to the sword-testing conference and all of you came back injured.” Shi Fengrong’s face was tired. Seeing the three people, her originally bad mood became even worse.

She was responsible for the injuries of the three of them.

The three people were as silent as cicadas in winter. Even though Shi Fengrong was the youngest among the sect’s elders, the consequences of offending her were unimaginable.

Pei Xuan and the rest also had gloomy expressions. They had been dragged to East Hall for a few days, and now they had to clean up their mess. Their mood was naturally not too good. Moreover, all three of them were seriously injured. This was not a small expense.

“Alright.” Yang Li went forward to persuade him, “You guys are really too much.

You’ve made yourselves into such a sorry state. As seniors, how can we not be worried? Remember, winning or losing a match is just a fleeting cloud. Only by staying alive can you have a chance to turn the tables. But if you lose your life, what’s the point of winning?”

The three of them agreed in unison.

Pei Xuan’s expression eased up a little. He continued, “Your elder uncle is right.

Remember, the three of you bear the heavy burden of the future revival of the

sect. If you don’t even cherish yourself, wouldn’t you be letting down the

cultivation of the sect? Hehe, but this time, everyone performed well.”

“Because of the special circumstances of this competition, the final score is calculated by the nascent soul seniors. All of you are in the top ten. Li

Zhengxuan is ranked second, Li Ming is third, and Luo Ming is seventh.” “Weren’t we unconscious at that time?” Luo Ming couldn’t help but ask.

Pei Xuan then told everyone what happened at the sword-testing conference.

Li Zhengxuan and Luo Ming immediately understood, but they looked at Li Ming as if they had seen a ghost. This guy was the culprit that caused the interruption of the competition!

Li Ming’s mind was blank, and his eyes were lifeless. He had completely given up on the basic jade scrolls for Kun Lun formations. But now, the sect master suddenly said that he had obtained third place. Didn’t that mean that the jade slip could be obtained!

“Who’s first?”

“He Fang!” Pei Xuan glanced at Li Zhengxuan. He was afraid that Li Zhengxuan would be unconvinced, so he quickly explained, “He Fang’s cultivation level is not as high as yours, but he has always been suppressing you. If we really fight to the death, his chances of winning are higher.” There was one thing he did not say. The Heart Lake Sword Sect was one of the top factions on the Heavenly Origin Supercontinent. Who would dare not give them face?

“Yes. He Fang is the most powerful opponent I’ve seen so far. I’ve learned a lot from him.” Li Zhengxuan nodded nonchalantly.

Pei Xuan was quite satisfied with Li Zhengxuan’s open-minded attitude.

Luo Ming was just about to speak when he saw Elder Uncle Xu Shan coldly glance at Li Ming and hurriedly shut his mouth.

Could it be that Elder Uncle Xu Shan disliked Junior Brother Li Ming?

He was very puzzled. Logically speaking, Junior Brother Li Ming’s performance this time could already be considered outstanding. Why was Elder Uncle Xu Shan still not satisfied?

He glanced at Li Ming without batting an eyelid and saw that the other party’s eyes were erratic and somewhat absent-minded. The relationship between the three of them had improved by leaps and bounds over the past few days. Luo Ming couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat for Li Ming. He was about to speak, but he held back.

Elder Uncle Xu Shan’s gaze was too vicious, even more vicious than a flying sword!

Li Ming slowly recovered from his confusion. He couldn’t help but ask, “When can I receive the award?”

Only then did Li Ming come back to his senses. When he saw the four elders’ expressions were terrifyingly gloomy, he could not help but shiver.

Oh no!

The four of them glared at Li Ming fiercely, making his hair stand on end.

No one expected that the first person to break the depressing atmosphere was

actually Xu Shan.

However, when he said this, it was as if a cold wind blew past, causing the temperature of the entire room to drop by several degrees. “Good! Good! Good!”

After saying “good” three times, Elder Uncle Xu Shan turned around and left without any hesitation.

Pei Xuan and Yang Li’s expressions were similarly ugly as they turned around and left. Shi Fengrong’s face was pale, her gaze wishing she could tear Li Ming into pieces.

Li Ming had the ability to read people’s expressions. When he saw his master’s expression, he had a bad feeling. He muttered to himself, “Master…” “Very good!” Shi Fengrong smiled faintly and turned to leave.

Li Ming was dumbfounded.

The sudden change shocked Li Zhengxuan and Luo Ming.. When had they ever seen the elders so angry?
