After Di Cheng found out that Bailu Yi and Qin Wentian had a close relationship, he inquired about Qin Wentian from the White Deer Institute.
Those from the White Deer Institute were all extremely familiar with Qin Wentian, and Di Cheng easily learned that Qin Wentian was a third-ranked Divine Inscriptionist with a cultivation base at the third level of Yuanfu. Not only that, Qin Wentian didn't have any background, and only got acquainted with Bailu Yi because of Divine Inscriptions.
Hence, the conversation between Qin Wentian and Bailu Yi came to light. Although Divine Inscriptionists were highly respected, they were only proficient in using Divine Inscriptions to forge weapons and formations. Very few Divine Inscriptionists could use Divine Inscriptions in combat. When both sides clashed, who would give them the time to inscribe Divine Inscriptions?
However, Qin Wentian had used facts to tell them that there were indeed people who could use Divine Inscriptions in combat. And right now, there was one.
Not only that, it was as easy as flipping a palm to deal with him.
The eyes of Bailu Jing and Bailu Yi's father brightened, as they gained a clearer understanding of Qin Wentian's attainments in the Dao of Divine Inscriptions. The path of Divine Inscriptions was as difficult as the Martial Path. Even if one had talent, they would need a long period of time to immerse themselves in it. There were many peak-tier third-ranked Divine Inscriptionists who were already at the peak of the Dao of Divine Inscriptions. For someone as young as Qin Wentian to have such attainments in the Dao of Divine Inscriptions, to the extent that he could even use it in combat, he was definitely a demon-level genius.
One could imagine that sooner or later, Qin Wentian would become a fourth-ranked Divine Inscriptionist. At that time, his status would be completely different.
If he could become a fourth-ranked Divine Inscriptionist before the age of twenty, the weight of his achievements wouldn't be any less than the names on the Heavenly Fate Rankings. At the very least, in the Moon Continent, there had never been such a character.
However, to advance from the third to the fourth level, was akin to advancing from Yuanfu to Heavenly Dipper. It was a huge hurdle that couldn't be easily overcome.
At this moment, none of them noticed that not far away, an Elder from the White Deer Institute had a brilliant glow in his eyes when he saw Qin Wentian's display of Divine Inscriptions.
"In the future, please don't come and harass Little Yi. You are really not worthy." Qin Wentian stared at Di Cheng as he emotionlessly stated. Disregarding Di Cheng's status, he was only speaking from the point of view of Bailu Yi's friend. Bailu Yi was a pure and beautiful young lady, gentle and generous, with outstanding talent. Her man was definitely not someone like Di Cheng. Di Cheng was truly not qualified.
Di Cheng's face alternated between green and white. What else could he do after being humiliated by Qin Wentian? Any words he said had lost their persuasiveness. As for hoping that the elders of the Di Family would stand up for him, that was impossible. The Di Family had come to the White Deer Institute to build a good relationship with them. If he couldn't even handle his own matters, why would the elders of the Di Family bully a guest of the White Deer Institute, Qin Wentian?
Di Cheng could only admit defeat.
Qin Wentian and Bailu Yi lifted their feet, preparing to leave. But before they could take a few steps, a gust of cold wind gusted over. Abruptly, another silhouette appeared, blocking Qin Wentian and Bailu Yi's path.
Upon seeing this silhouette, Qin Wentian's countenance stiffened. What was going on today? Di Cheng blocked their path, and now, there was another person blocking their path. Not only that, the person standing in front of him was actually an elder of the White Deer Institute. Although he didn't know who this person was, he had seen him a few times before.
"Grandpa Dong, what's wrong?" Bailu Yi froze as she stared at the old man in front of her.
Grandpa Tong was her elder, of the same generation as her grandfather. He was one of the nine elders of the White Deer Institute, and could be considered as someone with great authority in the Institute. His attainments in the Dao of Divine Inscriptions were extremely high, and he was a fourth-ranked Grandmaster as well as a fourth-ranked Divine Inscriptionist. Not only that, he was also a Heavenly Dipper Sovereign.
"Little Brother Qin, I want to borrow something from you." Bailu Tong's eyes shone brightly as he stared at Qin Wentian.
Qin Wentian politely replied, "What item does Senior want to borrow?"
"The ancient scroll of the Gold-Element Ascendant."
As the sound of Bailu Tong's voice faded, Qin Wentian's eyes narrowed as he involuntarily turned his gaze onto Bailu Yi. Had the news of what happened in the secret realm already circulated out?
Before this, he had heard from Bailu Yi that those from the transcendent powers had all kept their mouths shut. Nobody in the outside world knew what happened in the secret realm.
At this moment, Bailu Yi was also stunned. She didn't expect that Bailu Tong would ask Qin Wentian for this.
The ancient scroll of the Gold-Element Ascendant was incomparably valuable. Qin Wentian had given it to her because their relationship was extraordinary, and because he trusted her. However, Bailu Tong and Qin Wentian didn't have any interactions at all. Asking for such a valuable item out of the blue, no one would be happy, including Qin Wentian.
When Bailu Tong saw the expressions on their faces, he instantly understood that the ancient scroll of the Gold-Element Ascendant was most probably in Qin Wentian's hands.
"I heard that Little Brother Qin had some good fortune in the secret realm and obtained the ancient scroll of the Gold-Element Ascendant. I have some knowledge in the field of Divine Inscriptions, and would Little Brother Qin please lend it to me to take a look?" Bailu Tong continued. A golden light flickered in Qin Wentian's eyes.
What status did Bailu Tong have? How valuable was the ancient scroll of the Gold-Element Ascendant? Although Bailu Tong said that he wanted to borrow it, in truth, it was a form of robbery.
"Senior must be joking. Junior's cultivation base is too low, how could I obtain the ancient scroll of the Gold-Element Ascendant in the secret realm?" Qin Wentian stared into Bailu Tong's eyes as he casually laughed.
Even if Bailu Tong knew, he wouldn't admit to it.
The ancient scroll of the Gold-Element Ascendant had too many implications, and there was a high possibility that it would attract calamity. Regardless of whether others knew of it or not, he couldn't admit to it no matter what.
"Is that so? But the information I received shouldn't be wrong." Bailu Tong similarly stared at Qin Wentian as he laughed.
Treasures could bring calamity to people's hearts. If it wasn't for the fact that Qin Wentian had a good relationship with Bailu Yi and was a guest of the White Deer Institute, Bailu Tong wouldn't have wasted so much time talking nonsense with him and would have directly acted to snatch it away.
Snatching treasures was a very common thing in the martial arts world.
"Senior must be mistaken." Qin Wentian continued laughing. At this moment, Bailu Yi and Bailu Jing definitely wouldn't leak the news out. Even if they did, the first person to receive the news wouldn't be Bailu Tong.
In that case, it could only be those young men from the transcendent powers who intentionally leaked the news.
"Since this is the case, Little Brother Qin, can you allow me to inspect your interspatial ring?" Bailu Tong stared at the interspatial ring on Qin Wentian's finger.
Such words were already extremely presumptuous.
Who didn't have their own secrets? The interspatial ring was Wu Xiu's foundation, how could he allow others to inspect it?
"Grandpa Tong, you're going too far," Bailu Yi retorted. Although Bailu Tong was an elder, it was still too much to be so overbearing.
"Little Yi, this matter has nothing to do with you," Bailu Tong interjected. If it wasn't for Bailu Yi, he wouldn't have been so polite to Qin Wentian.
"You actually think that this has nothing to do with me?" Bailu Yi's voice was filled with mockery. Her hand was still holding onto Qin Wentian's arm.
"You should understand the importance of the ancient scroll. Now that it's right in front of me, Grandpa Tong has to obtain it no matter what," Bailu Tong stared straight into Bailu Yi's eyes as he spoke with a voice that could sever nails and sever iron.
"Bailu Tong, enough."
At this moment, a silhouette walked over from afar. It was none other than the large-eyed elder whom Qin Wentian had met before.
Bailu Tong's countenance didn't change when he saw the large-eyed elder. As a Divine Inscriptionist, the ancient scroll of the Ascendant was right in front of him. Such temptation was simply irresistible.
"Grand elder."
"I've said enough." The large-eyed elder reprimanded. "Don't forget, not long ago, Qin Wentian was still fighting for our White Deer Institute's ranking in the Refinement Grounds."
"Hmph." Bailu Tong flicked his sleeves and departed. Evidently, he wouldn't let this matter rest so easily.
"Many thanks, Grand Elder." Qin Wentian clasped his hands to the large-eyed elder.
"You are a guest of the White Deer Institute, this is something I should do. If I've offended you in any way, please don't take it to heart," the large-eyed elder replied. After which, he turned to Bailu Yi, "Little Yi, take good care of Little Brother Qin."
"Mhm." Bailu Yi nodded her head in agreement, before leading Qin Wentian away.
Qin Wentian once again returned to the grassy area behind the mountain. This place was quiet and tranquil, with a gentle breeze caressing his face, causing him to feel a sense of tranquility.
Qin Wentian sat on the ground, staring at Little Rascal's snow-white body as a smile appeared on Qin Wentian's face.
Stretching out his right hand, a sharp sword light appeared in his left hand, slicing through his palm, causing fresh blood to drip down.
"Little Rascal, open your mouth," Qin Wentian spoke to Little Rascal.
"Yiyiya." Little Rascal shook its head, an expression of extreme reluctance could be seen in its adorable eyes, as though it was angrily glaring at Qin Wentian.
"Back then when you followed me, you must have sensed my aura when you met me. I know that my blood is useful to you, and even if I lose a bit of blood, there won't be any side effects. I'll replenish it very quickly. Don't worry." Qin Wentian knew that one of his bloodlines was the terrifying demonic blood, and was extremely useful to demonic beasts.
Upon hearing Qin Wentian's words, Little Rascal opened its mouth.
"Be good." Qin Wentian dripped a drop of blood into Little Rascal's mouth, and indeed, an instant later, a golden light flickered in its eyes as it ran to the side to sleep.
"Someone might have intentionally leaked the news, aren't you worried at all?" Bailu Yi stared at the relaxed expression on Qin Wentian's face. Bailu Tong intercepting Qin Wentian had caused her to feel a sense of pressure.
Even an elder of the Bailu Academy felt this way, let alone an outsider.
"Treasures bring calamity to people's hearts, what's the use of worrying? The only thing I can do is to grow stronger." Qin Wentian mumbled. Bailu Yi nodded her head, "You're right, although the predicament you're in might seem complicated, it's all because you're still too young, and your strength isn't strong enough."
"What did you say?" Qin Wentian's eyes abruptly lit up, staring at Qin Wentian.
Bailu Yi stared at the expression on Qin Wentian's face, bewilderment could be seen on her face. Qin Wentian didn't seem like someone who would get angry, right?
"You're still too young, and your strength isn't strong enough. If not, if you could intimidate them, you wouldn't be in this predicament today," Bailu Yi repeated.
"The previous sentence." Qin Wentian's heart pounded.
"Although the predicament you're in might seem complicated, it's all about simplicity," Bailu Yi murmured, not understanding Qin Wentian's meaning.
"Yes, although the predicament you're in might seem complicated, it's all about simplicity." Qin Wentian drew in a deep breath, feeling enlightened. He inclined his head, feeling the cool breeze blowing against his face, as he felt a sense of enlightenment.
"From simplicity to complexity, that's refinement; from complexity to simplicity, that's comprehension," Qin Wentian mumbled. Bailu Yi's beautiful eyes flickered, she was completely at a loss.
Only to see Qin Wentian squatting down, his palms slashing out in front of him. Instantly, a straight line streaked through the air, containing a surge of energy within it.
Bailu Yi stared at the streak of light, her heart filled with bewilderment. She walked forward and similarly squatted down, infusing a strand of Astral Energy into it. Instantly, a terrifying sharpness gushed forth as a beam of sword light pierced through the air, startling Bailu Yi so much that she fell to the ground. Her beautiful eyes stared in shock at Qin Wentian as she stared at him.
"You broke through …" Bailu Yi's heart trembled, her voice filled with excitement.
"Mhm." Qin Wentian smiled as he nodded his head, exuding a carefree air. The confidence radiating from him grew even stronger!
