When Xiao Lengyue asked that question to Qin Wentian, it already indicated that she didn't trust Qin Wentian at all. Hence, Qin Wentian didn't reply directly, choosing to say 'If I say I didn't, would you believe me?'.
He knew that Xiao Lengyue wouldn't believe him. In that case, no matter what, the ending was already determined. Staring at Xiao Lengyue's countenance gradually turning cold, Qin Wentian felt a chill in his heart. These geniuses were very intelligent, but they were too intelligent. Xiao Lengyue deduced that the reason why he could comprehend the blood-colored runic inscriptions was related to the underground palace and was certain that he had obtained something.
Because regardless of her or Xuan Xing, neither of them felt that Qin Wentian had the talent to surpass all the geniuses trapped in the underground palace. Based on what qualifications did he have to comprehend the secret behind the blood-colored runic inscriptions?
"Qin Wentian, I treated you well, right?" Xiao Lengyue asked. The smile on her face was extremely cold.
"What do you mean by treating me well?" Qin Wentian saw the change in Xiao Lengyue's attitude, his tone also turned cold.
"When you were surrounded by the God Extermination Palace led by Ji Lanshan, it was me who asked you to join the Xiao Sect. Ji Lanshan took the initiative to retreat and no longer dared to find trouble with you. You brought us into the underground palace, causing many people to feel resentment towards you but I didn't blame you at all. Even when Xuan Xing wanted to deal with you, I was the one who stopped him.
Is all of this still not enough? "Xiao Lengyue spoke." I was surrounded by Ji Lanshan, you've already seen it for yourself. He couldn't do anything to me at all. Regardless of whether I joined the Xiao Sect or not, I have no fear of Ji Lanshan. You asked me to join because you needed my divine inscriptions. You wanted me to bring you to the emperor palace, and I did it within half a year. Not only did I rescue all of you from the underground palace, I even brought you into the depths of the emperor palace. "
Qin Wentian's eyes gleamed with sharpness as he slowly spoke, "Because in the emperor palace, you didn't obtain anything. This is why you would say such words. If you obtained an ancient emperor treasure or an inheritance, would you still say such words? If before you entered the emperor palace, and someone told you that I could bring you in within half a year, would you reject? I'm afraid you'll be deeply grateful. "
"If you gain something, it's your own wisdom. If you don't gain anything, you shift all the blame to me, Qin Wentian. Is this the way of a Sect Leader?" Qin Wentian said coldly, "As for Xuan Xing, is there any difference between the reason why Xuan Xing wants to deal with me and what Sovereign wants to do now?"
Xiao Lengyue stared at Qin Wentian. After which, she smiled and stood up, "Qin Wentian, you're very good. I'll give you some time to consider it."
With that, she flicked her sleeves and left the place.
Qin Wentian sent Xiao Lengyue off with his gaze. His countenance was as calm as ever, with no changes at all. He closed his eyes and continued his cultivation, comprehending the incomparably mystical energy. Being in the City of Ancient Emperors, he understood that raising his strength as soon as possible was the most important thing.
The courtyard was incomparably quiet. Qin Wentian had no distractions in his heart until Zi Qingxuan and Jun Mengchen came back to look for him.
When he saw Jun Mengchen walking over, his face was filled with rage. Qin Wentian smiled at him, "What's wrong?"
"Senior brother, they're monitoring us." Jun Mengchen angrily spoke.
"That's normal." Qin Wentian laughed. "For the next period of time, I intend to go into closed-door seclusion and cultivate here in this courtyard. You guys should also work hard in your cultivation as well. Before the Xiao Sect makes their move against us, let them monitor us. Don't clash with them."
Jun Mengchen started, "Aren't we going to leave the Xiao Sect directly?"
"Right now, it's no longer a situation where we can leave just because we want to. Xiao Lengyue thinks that I've obtained something she wanted, the ancient inheritance. But in truth, that's something that needs to be comprehended by oneself. She couldn't comprehend it herself, so she assumed that I've obtained some other treasures. There's no way for her to explain this. For a period of time, I'll be under their surveillance and my movements will be restricted. Hence, I might as well go into closed-door seclusion."
Qin Wentian smiled. "With regards to you guys, their restrictions shouldn't be too strict. As long as I don't leave, I don't know when they would act against us."
"I understand. Before they act, we just have to endure and not clash with them. We'll do our best to delay and raise our strength." Jun Mengchen spoke.
"Yeah, Mengchen, I know it's hard on you. You have an impulsive personality, but in the City of Ancient Emperors, we have no choice but to endure." Qin Wentian spoke.
"Don't worry senior brother, I understand. I can only blame myself for being too weak. If I was at the ninth-level of Celestial Phenomenon, why would I fear them? We can just fight." Jun Mengchen angrily spoke.
"Okay, let's go and cultivate." Zi Qingxuan could understand Qin Wentian's urgency to raise his strength. She was very clear what sort of character Qin Wentian was. If one truly angered him, he would dare to do anything. Even in front of the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor, his arrogance towered up into the heavens. But given his personality, he could also endure things that ordinary people couldn't. Right now, Qin Wentian was most definitely in desperate need of time.
"Mhm, senior brother, you should cultivate well. We will be leaving too." Jun Mengchen and Zi Qingxuan left. Qin Wentian drew in a deep breath and entered a meditative state once more.
Half a month later, Xiao Lengyue came to look for Qin Wentian again. This time around, she directly asked, "Have you made up your mind?"
Qin Wentian stared at Xiao Lengyue, smiling as he shook his head, "I've already told you before. If you want to cultivate the oracular chant within the blood-colored runes, you have to comprehend the divine inscriptions in the underground palace first. However, it's impossible for you to do so. Even if I wanted to teach you, it's impossible for me to do so.
Xiao Lengyue frowned as she coldly spoke, "Qin Wentian, I've already given you enough face."
"Many thanks." Qin Wentian smiled. Xiao Lengyue didn't say anything more, she turned and departed, leaving behind an icy glare.
In the next few months, Xiao Lengyue came to visit several times. Every time she visited, her actions were extremely direct and her attitude grew colder and colder.
Xiao Lengyue also discovered that Qin Wentian seemed to be extremely patient. He didn't say that he wanted to leave the Xiao Sect and just quietly stayed in his courtyard to cultivate, as though nothing had happened. As for Qin Wentian's two companions, they would sometimes cultivate in the Xiao Sect, and sometimes they would leave the City of Ancient Emperors to temper themselves. She had sent people from the Xiao Sect to monitor them, but they didn't seem to have any intentions of escaping.
It seemed as though they were planning on wasting time with her. Qin Wentian and his companions knew their own limits and knew that it was impossible for them to forcefully leave the Xiao Sect. They were merely trying to infuriate her.
Finally, Xiao Lengyue's patience reached its limit. Today, experts from the Xiao Sect came to Qin Wentian's courtyard and directly barged in. However, Xiao Lengyue wasn't there. The person in the lead was none other than the second strongest expert of the Xiao Sect, Greedwolf.
The auras of this group were extremely terrifying, their might bore down on Qin Wentian. This was especially so for Greedwolf. His countenance was ice cold, filled with killing intent.
Qin Wentian opened his eyes and stared at him only to hear Greedwolf coldly speaking, "Qin Wentian, you brought Lengyue into the underground palace and were trapped there for half a year. Lengyue still protected you or you would have long since fallen into the hands of Xuan Xing. In fact, even when people from the Twin Stars Alliance came to ask for you, Lengyue still refused to hand you over."
"Lengyue's heart is kind, she tolerated you time and time again. I can't be bothered to waste my breath on you. Within seven days, if you don't hand over the secret manual, I will expel you from the Xiao Sect. If you aren't a disciple of the Xiao Sect, don't blame us for being impolite to you." After speaking, Greedwolf blasted out with his palm.
"Let's go." Greedwolf waved his hands. The other experts of the Xiao Sect all stomped on the ground as the sounds of destruction rang out. Their eyes coldly stared at Qin Wentian as they departed together.
After Greedwolf and the others left, Jun Mengchen and Zi Qingxuan came over. Upon seeing Qin Wentian sitting there, Jun Mengchen couldn't help but ask, "Senior Brother Qin, they are truly too impudent."
Qin Wentian's countenance was as calm as ever. He glanced at Jun Mengchen as he smiled, "Seven days? Just bear with it for a few more days before we leave the Xiao Sect. "
"Okay, Senior Brother. I will cultivate here and accompany you." Jun Mengchen nodded. Qin Wentian felt warmth in his heart as he smiled and nodded his head. Zi Qingxuan also stayed behind, cultivating in this dilapidated place.
Five days later, a violent aura gushed forth, terrifying to the extreme. Qin Wentian and Zi Qingxuan stood at the side, only to see Jun Mengchen radiating boundless astral light as his constellation appeared. Rumbling sounds rang out from his body as an ancient aura gushed forth, akin to a primordial primordial beast. The rumbling sounds continued unceasingly, echoing far and wide.
"To think that Mengchen would catch up to us so soon. I'm really happy for him." A smile appeared in Qin Wentian's eyes. He was very happy. This was the only thing that could make him feel carefree during this period of time.
"Mhm." Zi Qingxuan smiled and nodded. After that, she glanced at Qin Wentian, feeling a sense of inferiority in her heart. The first time they met, her cultivation base was the highest. But now, Qin Wentian and Jun Mengchen were both at the same level as her. In terms of combat prowess, she would be the weakest.
The two beside her were both supreme geniuses. If she was beside them, she would only dim in comparison.
The sound of air breaking rang out, many experts of the Xiao Sect turned their gazes over. Upon seeing that it was Jun Mengchen who broke through, many of them crossed their arms in front of their chests as they laughed coldly. A sixth-level ascendant, after breaking through, he would only be at the seventh-level. In the Xiao Sect, this level of cultivation truly couldn't be considered anything.
"There are still two more days for you to consider. Don't be so shameless when we give you face." An expert from the Xiao Sect glanced over as he spoke. Among the crowd, Li Yu silently watched everything. He also saw Xiao Lengyue who was far away, yet his interest was waning. His silhouette flickered as he appeared before Xiao Lengyue and called out, "Lengyue."
"What's the matter?" Xiao Lengyue stared at Li Yu as she asked.
"I've accompanied you for quite some time in the Xiao Sect, and I'm quite happy with it. But now, I wish to roam the City of Ancient Emperors alone. From now on, I will no longer be part of the Xiao Sect. Take care." Li Yu spoke to Xiao Lengyue, his words causing Xiao Lengyue's countenance to change. "Li Yu, the Xiao Sect needs you."
"The Xiao Sect is one of the top three powers in the City of Ancient Emperors. You are also ranked # 6 in the Immortal Ascension Rankings. Having one more wouldn't make a difference. Farewell." Li Yu bowed slightly. After which, his silhouette flickered as he directly departed. Xiao Lengyue stared at Li Yu's back as an unnatural expression appeared on her face.
Li Yu actually left the Xiao Sect at this moment? Was he unhappy with her?
