Bailu You smiled at Bailu Yi before walking out. Bailu Yi naturally stepped aside and followed behind Bailu You, arriving at the back of the mountain.
On the grassy hillside, Qin Wentian sat cross-legged. Upon seeing Bailu You, he couldn't help but smile, "Does Senior have any instructions for me?"
"Grandmaster Qin, it's so difficult to even meet you." Bailu You exclaimed in a loud voice. The way he addressed Qin Wentian as' Grandmaster Qin 'contained hints of mockery.
"Senior must be joking. It's just that junior has been in closed-door seclusion these few days. Little Yi was worried that I would be disturbed, hence she stopped Senior. If she offended you in any way, please forgive her." Qin Wentian still had a smile on his face, ignoring Bailu You's sarcasm.
As the saying goes, no one would slap a smiling face. However, Bailu You continued, "Grandmaster Qin is in closed-door seclusion? Could it be that you've already broken through to the fourth-ranked? Why can't we meet? "
Qin Wentian continued smiling, not replying.
Bailu You couldn't help but to add, "Currently, there are many guests visiting my White Deer Institute, and among them, there are even fourth-ranked Grandmasters. Grandmaster Qin, would you be willing to give us the face to meet with them?" Qin Wentian's expression turned solemn.
"I, Qin, don't know anyone in the Moon Continent, why would there be people wanting to pay a visit?" Qin Wentian curiously asked.
As the sound of his voice faded, an expression of interest appeared on Bailu You's face, laughing at Qin Wentian for not knowing the immensity of the Heavens and Earth. He even dared to use the word 'pay a visit'.
"Not 'pay a visit', I'm asking you to meet them." Bailu You emphasized the word 'pay a visit'.
"Oh." Qin Wentian nodded. After which, he fell silent. These Grandmasters really came at the right time. He glanced at Bailu Yi, and upon seeing the worried expression on her face, he instantly understood. Most probably, this was because of the ancient scroll. If not, there wouldn't be any fourth-ranked Grandmasters wanting to meet with him.
Bailu You couldn't help but to continue mocking Qin Wentian, "Grandmaster Qin, are you still not preparing to move?"
"Why must we move?" Qin Wentian had a strange expression on his face as he stared at Bailu You.
"You …" Bailu You's gaze froze as he stared at Qin Wentian. "There are so many fourth-ranked Grandmasters wanting to meet with you. Tell me, why did you make a move? Could it be that you want all of them to meet with you?"
Bailu You's tone had already turned cold, yet Bailu Yi sarcastically interjected, "Uncle You, I'm sure you're very clear of the reason why they want to meet with Qin Wentian. Why do you still want to come here personally to persuade them?"
Bailu You's motive was extremely clear. He wanted Qin Wentian to meet with those people, and after that, he wanted Qin Wentian to feel the pressure of the outside world. Only then would Qin Wentian submit to his father, Bailu Tong, in order to protect himself.
"Hmph," Bailu You coldly snorted, "Lobbyist? I'm only here to inform him. What do you mean by 'lobbyist'? Could it be that he wants to avoid meeting with all the Grandmasters? "
"Senior must be joking. Why would I, Qin, avoid meeting with them?" Qin Wentian faintly replied, the smile on his face gradually vanishing. Bailu You coldly laughed as he glanced at Qin Wentian.
"If they don't want to meet, they don't want to meet. What's there to avoid?" Qin Wentian continued.
The cold smile on Bailu You's face froze as he stared at Qin Wentian, only to see Qin Wentian continuing, "Senior, you've already said it yourself. It's them who want to meet with me, not me, the other way round."
Bailu You stared at Qin Wentian. What an interesting fellow.
"Do you mean that you want all the Grandmasters to pay their respects to you?" Bailu You teased.
"I don't dare to use the word 'pay their respects'." Qin Wentian shook his head. "It's just that Senior only said that there's a fourth-ranked Grandmaster who wishes to meet with me. Firstly, you didn't mention the name of that Grandmaster, and secondly, you didn't even mention the reason why he wants to meet with me. I don't have anything to ask of them, nor have I received any favors from them. If I do that, wouldn't I be belittling myself? Could it be that Senior likes to belittle himself in this manner? "
Bailu You's eyes narrowed as he laughed, "You have a sharp tongue. Since that's the case, I shall inform the other Grandmasters and tell them to pay their respects to 'Grandmaster Qin'."
As the sound of his voice faded, Bailu You flicked his sleeves and departed. The young man behind him swept his gaze over to Qin Wentian, his eyes gleaming with sharpness.
After the three of them left, Bailu Yi's beautiful eyes flickered with worry. She turned to Qin Wentian, "During the time you were in closed-door seclusion, there were rumors circulating that you obtained the ancient scroll of the Ascendant. Bailu You is the son of Bailu Tong, and I'm sure you're very clear of his motive for coming here. Today, a group of Grandmasters came here, and they're extremely ferocious."
Qin Wentian nodded his head lightly as he stood up. Seeing the haggard look on Bailu Yi's face, he couldn't help but smile, "Don't worry, if they go too far, I won't let them off easy."
Bailu Yi's beautiful eyes brightened as she stared at the smile on Qin Wentian's face. "Did you really break through this time around?"
"Mhm." Qin Wentian smiled as he nodded his head.
"Really?" Bailu Yi asked again.
"Yes." Qin Wentian nodded his head again.
"Fourth-ranked, you're not lying to me?" Bailu Yi asked again, the light in her eyes growing brighter and brighter.
Fourth-ranked, a nineteen-year-old fourth-ranked Grandmaster!
Qin Wentian rolled his eyes as he walked over and rapped Bailu Yi on her head. "Absolutely true, I'm not lying to you."
"That's great!" Bailu Yi's countenance was filled with excitement. She couldn't help but jump up as she hugged Qin Wentian tightly. "Heavens, I've actually seen a nineteen-year-old fourth-ranked Grandmaster with my own eyes. Is he going to create history in the Moon Continent? This is too crazy, Qin Wentian, you're too crazy."
"Eh …" Qin Wentian didn't expect Bailu Yi to be so excited. Feeling the softness on his arm, Qin Wentian's eyes stared unblinkingly at the pure and innocent girl.
As though sensing Qin Wentian's gaze, Bailu Yi froze for a moment. Her beautiful eyes flickered as she glanced down at her own body leaning on Qin Wentian's arm. Instantly, a blush appeared on her face. Coupled with that pure and innocent countenance of hers, it caused Qin Wentian to stare in a daze.
Although he was already used to beauties, the pure and innocent Bailu Yi in front of him right now was simply too beautiful.
The excitement in her eyes was pure and without any impurities.
"Wait here, I'll help you blow things up a little more." Bailu Yi's eyes lit up as she sprinted away. As though sensing something, Bailu Yi rubbed her temples as she turned back to glare at Qin Wentian. "Bastard, how could you be so strong?"
"Only now did I realize." Qin Wentian was completely speechless. After which, he only saw Bailu Yi smiling sweetly at him as she sped away.
"Blow things up a little more?" Qin Wentian blinked his eyes as he stared at the graceful silhouette of Bailu Yi. This lass really wanted to see the world in chaos.
Not long after, Qin Wentian saw a group of silhouettes flying over. Many of these people had white hair and white beards, exuding an air of immortality. There were also a few who had amiable expressions on their faces, their eyes gleaming with sharpness. However, regardless of their external appearances, the aura they exuded was the same — arrogance.
Powerful Divine Inscriptionists had always been worshipped and respected by others. The major powers of the Yuanfu Continent were all willing to pay a hefty price to nurture them, as long as they were willing.
Fourth-ranked Divine Inscriptionists would never lack wealth, nor would they lack fame. No matter where they went, they would be like the moon surrounded by stars. Even now, there were several old men with cultivation bases at the upper third level of Yuanfu standing behind them, protecting them.
For those with limited achievements in the Martial Path, if they had talent in the Dao of Divine Inscriptions, they would spend a large amount of time researching Divine Inscriptions. Hence, even if they were fourth-ranked Divine Inscriptionists, they might only have a cultivation base at the Yuanfu Realm. Hence, they needed guards, and naturally, there would be people willing to be their guards.
It was inevitable that they would be filled with arrogance.
When they appeared in front of Qin Wentian, Qin Wentian could clearly feel the intense aura exuded by these Divine Inscriptionists.
"Two of them are Heavenly Dipper Sovereigns, while the rest are all at the Yuanfu Realm. The weakest among them is only at the fifth level of Yuanfu." Qin Wentian swept his gaze over, instantly knowing the cultivation bases of these people. He could tell that they were at the Yuanfu Realm, but he couldn't tell that they were at the Yuanfu Realm.
One of the Heavenly Dipper Sovereigns was someone that Qin Wentian was acquainted with.
"Senior pays his respects to Grandmaster Fenrir." Qin Wentian politely bowed to one of the Heavenly Dipper Sovereigns. Back then during the exchange in the Star-Seizing Manor, it was none other than Grandmaster Fenrir who was the judge.
Grandmaster Fenrir smiled as he nodded his head. His gaze was fixed on Qin Wentian's surroundings as a sharp glint flickered in his eyes. His heart pounded violently, as though he had just seen something extremely shocking.
"Back then when we parted at the Star-Seizing Manor, I could already tell that you were an extraordinary individual. Now, you've truly met with a heaven-sent opportunity. Naturally, this opportunity was also obtained through your own hard work. Congratulations." Grandmaster Fenrir smiled and nodded to Qin Wentian, treating him with respect. His tone was calm, and there was no hint of arrogance in it.
Qin Wentian could easily sense the closeness radiating from Grandmaster Fenrir. He also understood the meaning behind Grandmaster Fenrir's words. He smiled and nodded his head in reply, "Junior's luck isn't bad. Back then when Grandmaster Fenrir imparted the Divine Inscriptions to me, junior also benefited greatly from it.
After speaking, Qin Wentian bowed again, appearing extremely sincere.
"Good." Grandmaster Fenrir smiled as he nodded his head. He shifted his feet slightly to the side, as though he was intentionally putting some distance between himself and the others. Yet in his heart, he couldn't help but sigh. This young man was definitely not an ordinary individual. In the future, he would definitely transform into a dragon that soared to the nine heavens.
Right now, he could only befriend Qin Wentian and not offend him.
However, the others didn't notice Grandmaster Fenrir's casual actions. They also didn't understand the deep meaning behind his simple words.
Not only that, some of them even thought that Grandmaster Fenrir was hinting that Qin Wentian had obtained the Ascendant's inheritance. And Qin Wentian had actually admitted it!
As such, the light in their eyes grew even brighter as they stared at Qin Wentian. The way they looked at Qin Wentian was as though they were looking at their prey!
The inheritance of the Ascendant, today, they had to force this brat to hand it over!
