After Qin Wentian passed the scroll to Bailu Yi, Bailu Yi immediately immersed herself in it, forgetting everything else.
She had always been infatuated with Divine Inscriptions. Now that she saw the profound Dao of Divine Inscriptions of a Ascendant, she was like Qin Wentian back then, unable to extricate herself.
The Gold-Element Ascendant's understanding of Divine Inscriptions, as well as the various combinations and combinations of Divine Inscriptions, were far superior compared to the White Deer Institute. What made Bailu Yi even more moved was that within the scroll, there were many powerful fourth-ranked Divine Inscriptions, fourth-ranked formations, fourth-ranked weaponsmithing techniques, and fourth-ranked Puppetry.
Sadly, she didn't have that level of attainment yet. She couldn't comprehend it, and could only comprehend it bit by bit.
After Qin Wentian met with Chu Mang and the rest, he once again entered closed-door seclusion, staying with Bailu Yi in the White Deer Cavern. Little Rascal naturally stayed by his side as well.
In truth, Qin Wentian originally wanted to stay in the desert for a longer period of time. But when he thought of how worried Bailu Yi and Fan Le would be, he hurriedly returned. Now that there was a chance to cultivate together with Bailu Yi, exchanging insights and insights, it was a wonderful thing.
However, Di Cheng's mood wasn't that wonderful.
If the Di Clan wanted to gain full control of the White Deer Institute, other than acknowledging them, they naturally had to maintain a good relationship with the Institute. And Di Feng, who had the potential to become the future leader of the Azure Faction, was undoubtedly the most suitable person to do such a thing. If the White Deer Institute truly acknowledged him, they would naturally be willing to help him.
In the world of cultivation, after benefits, relationships would naturally be the most important.
As such, Di Feng had been staying in the White Deer Institute as a guest for the past few days. At the same time, he would visit the residences of the various Elders and Elders. Occasionally, he would interact with the younger generation as well, and the White Deer Institute's impression of Di Feng was getting better and better.
Di Cheng, on the other hand, wasn't feeling too good. Those from the White Deer Institute didn't have a good impression of him. He was always idling around, and now that he heard that Bailu Yi was cultivating with a young man, how could he be in a good mood?
"Is Little Yi still in closed-door seclusion?" At this moment, Di Cheng asked.
"That girl." Bailu Yi's father shook his head. He knew that ever since Qin Wentian had returned, Bailu Yi had been stuck together with him. A grown girl couldn't be kept at home.
He didn't know what was going on, and naturally assumed that Bailu Yi and Qin Wentian were together. However, he didn't object. After all, he was quite fond of Qin Wentian. At the very least, he was much better than Di Cheng. No matter what, they were both from the Di Clan, how could there be such a huge disparity between Di Cheng and Di Feng?
"Father, it seems like your daughter is about to be abducted," Bailu Jing, who was standing at the side, laughed, as though he was intentionally speaking to Di Cheng.
Sure enough, Di Cheng's expression changed slightly as he asked, "Qin Wentian, who is he? How is he worthy of Xiao Yi?"
Di Cheng continued to address Bailu Yi as Little Yi. Bailu Yi's father and Bailu Jing were extremely unhappy, but they couldn't be bothered to correct him. After all, he was a guest.
"It doesn't matter if he's worthy or not, as long as Little Yi likes him." Bailu Jing intentionally provoked Di Cheng.
And indeed, Di Cheng's countenance changed slightly.
"Master, Miss Yi, he's out." At this moment, a maid came to report. Bailu Yi's father's eyes brightened as he laughed, "That lass, she's finally willing to come out."
"I'll go take a walk first." Di Cheng bid his farewell, causing Bailu Yi and Bailu Yi to glance at each other. Bailu Yi's father then turned to Bailu Jing, "You should go take a look as well."
"Right." Bailu Jing nodded his head as he stood up and departed, heading in the direction of the White Deer Cavern.
Not long after Qin Wentian and Bailu Yi exited the White Deer Cavern, there were already so many people in front of them, causing them to feel somewhat depressed.
"He's Di Cheng." Bailu Yi whispered to Qin Wentian. Qin Wentian swept his gaze over, instantly seeing Di Cheng's cultivation base — the fifth level of Yuanfu. Based on Di Cheng's age, this cultivation base wasn't anything special.
After which, Qin Wentian saw the two elders of the White Deer Institute also passing by.
Qin Wentian wanted to see if he could see their cultivation bases, but to his dismay, Qin Wentian discovered that he couldn't.
This made Qin Wentian understand that even after he opened his third eye, he could only see the cultivation bases of Yuanfu cultivators.
The elders of the White Deer Institute should all be at the Heavenly Dipper Realm, hence he couldn't see through them.
"Little Yi, I've missed you so much these days." Di Cheng smiled at Bailu Yi, causing Qin Wentian to be taken aback. This fellow was truly a genius.
Qin Wentian now believed that the reason why the Di Clan sent Di Cheng here first to give the White Deer Institute a bad impression wasn't because Di Cheng was faking it. Di Cheng was truly such a person.
Bailu Yi's countenance changed when she heard Di Cheng's words. Seeing Qin Wentian winking at her, she couldn't help but feel even angrier.
"Di Cheng, please call me by my name in the future," Bailu Yi stated in a depressed tone. After which, she hooked her arm around Qin Wentian's, pulling Qin Wentian along. She glared at Qin Wentian viciously. Who asked this bastard to make fun of her?
"Eh …" Qin Wentian smiled bitterly. He was being used as a shield by Bailu Yi. Noticing the gazes of the crowd, Qin Wentian could only smile bitterly.
Right now, it was impossible for those from the White Deer Institute to not misunderstand. He and Bailu Yi often cultivated together, and although there was nothing between them, those from the White Deer Institute wouldn't think so.
"Qin Wentian?" Di Cheng blocked Qin Wentian's path of retreat. His eyes narrowed as a smile appeared on his face, yet it gave off a sinister feeling.
"You're blocking my way." Qin Wentian smiled as he looked at Di Cheng.
"I know." Di Cheng nodded his head. "I heard that you're an unaffiliated cultivator with an average cultivation background. However, your attainments in the Dao of Divine Inscriptions aren't bad, and you're a third-ranked Divine Inscriptionist."
Qin Wentian furrowed his brows. This Di Cheng was extremely clear about his background.
"And?" Qin Wentian's countenance was as calm as ever.
"Although Divine Inscriptionists are respected by others, that's only because they have value. They can help others forge Divine Weapons and Puppets. Even for a powerful Divine Inscriptionist, if he doesn't know how to forge Divine Weapons, his status will still be limited. After all, it's impossible to rely on Divine Inscriptions to battle. Ultimately, for cultivators, what matters most is one's cultivation base."
Di Cheng slowly explained, his words causing Qin Wentian to be speechless. This fellow blocked his path and said so much. Was he trying to show how outstanding he was?
But the problem was, this Di Cheng himself wasn't that outstanding?
Naturally, whether he was outstanding or not depended on who he was compared to. Di Cheng knew that he didn't have the qualifications to compete with Di Feng. But as for the person in front of him, he definitely had to suppress him.
In fact, although Di Cheng appeared to be a silkpants, he wasn't stupid. He knew why the Di Clan had sent him here first, and he understood his mission. He also knew that he wanted to woo Bailu Yi not only because of her beauty, but also because of her status. As long as he married her, his status in the White Deer Institute would be completely different.
And if he succeeded, the Di Clan would definitely be extremely satisfied with him.
"Are you done?" Qin Wentian stared at Di Cheng, his tone indifferent. It was as though he didn't even place Di Cheng in his eyes. Such a situation caused the smile in Di Cheng's eyes to grow colder. "Did you not understand what I meant?"
Qin Wentian saw that Di Cheng wasn't willing to let him off the hook, and his countenance also grew sharper. Two terrifying beams of light pierced into Di Cheng's eyes, and in an instant, Di Cheng felt a sense of impending doom. He involuntarily retreated two steps, his countenance extremely unsightly to behold.
"Let's go." Qin Wentian spoke to Bailu Yi. Bailu Yi was like a young girl, quietly hugging his arm. This was a blatant show of flaunting, wanting Di Cheng to completely give up on her.
Not far away, Bailu Yi's father and Bailu Jing both had bitter smiles on their faces as they witnessed this scene. Just like what Qin Wentian had predicted, the misunderstanding had deepened.
Qin Wentian and Bailu Yi lifted their feet, only to see Di Cheng blocking their path once again. The aura of a fifth-level Yuanfu cultivator erupted forth.
"Since you don't understand what I meant, let me tell you. Get the hell out of the White Deer Institute." Di Cheng's aura grew even more domineering, suppressing Qin Wentian.
However at this moment, Qin Wentian's footsteps didn't stop. Two beams of terrifying golden light shot out from his eyes, sweeping over Di Cheng. Di Cheng instantly felt an intense pain in his eyes, as though the pressure of death was pressing down on him. Qin Wentian's majesty was something that couldn't be profaned.
"Boom!" A powerful force slammed into his mind, causing him to groan in pain. His face turned pale.
Qin Wentian acted as though nothing had happened as he continued walking forwards. Yet another piercing gaze landed on Di Cheng, causing his countenance to turn even paler. Di Cheng coughed out a mouthful of blood as his countenance turned even paler.
"Bzzz!" Di Cheng released his Astral Souls, as Astral Light flashed. His entire body was enveloped by a layer of mysterious energy as he glared at Qin Wentian.
Qin Wentian had already arrived in front of him. Stretching out his palms, he slammed out with his palms. Instantly, terrifying Divine Inscriptions intertwined with each other, transforming into a terrifying great roc. Di Cheng howled in rage as the claws of the great roc latched onto his chest. After which, he soared through the air and was flung out of the way.
"STOP!" A cold voice rang out, only to see the silhouette of the old man behind Di Cheng trembling as he landed on Di Cheng's back. At the same time, he slammed out with his palms, destroying the great roc in the air.
Di Cheng supported the body of the old man as he stood up. Blood could still be seen at the corners of his mouth, and the robes around his chest were torn apart. His countenance was extremely grim.
"It's not impossible to battle using Divine Inscriptions. At the very least, I can kill as many as I want. So, don't use your ignorance to show off," Qin Wentian indifferently stated. Di Cheng coughed out yet another mouthful of blood.
