"Let's drink. There's no need to pay attention to these idiots!" The little bastard glanced at everyone in the restaurant, including the Sky Reflection Peak's Mu Junsu, before he spoke.
Lin Shan glanced at Mu Junsu and sighed.
Lin Shan had a very good impression of Mu Junsu when he met her that day. Although she was a woman, she was definitely not weaker than a man. She did things in a straightforward and efficient manner. She was an extraordinary woman.
Lin Shan had always respected extraordinary women like her. Even after they parted ways, Lin Shan had always respected Mu Junsu.
However, who knew that Mu Junsu was no different from others in the end. He could only sigh in response.
Lin Shan withdrew his gaze and continued drinking with the Little Bastard.
As for Xiao Fan, he remained indifferent from the beginning to the end. He sat there calmly, as if he didn't hear the mockery and ridicule in the restaurant at all. His expression was leisurely.
The discussion in the restaurant finally stopped after a while. Everyone began to talk about other topics. Mu Junsu and the Sky Reflection Peak stopped talking about this and began to discuss other matters.
Just like that, another moment passed!
"Young Master Xiao!"
A figure suddenly appeared in front of Xiao Fan and the others. She sat down gently and cupped her hands at Xiao Fan as she spoke with a forced smile.
It was Ying Qing!
However, the current Ying Qing was like a completely different person compared to when she had parted ways with Xiao Fan!
Back then, Ying Qing could be said to be anxious to return home. She was filled with longing and yearning to return home. Her face was filled with excitement. Her body was like a spear, and her aura was like a dragon's. One could not help but praise her with a single glance. What a young genius.
At this moment, Ying Qing seemed to have aged ten years in an instant. There were actually a few strands of white hair at her temples. Her body was no longer as straight as before. Although her figure was still straight, it was slightly hunched.
Xiao Fan looked at the silent Ying Qing in front of him and raised his eyebrows. He then asked, "Did your return to the clan not go smoothly?"
"Yes!" Ying Qing replied in a hoarse voice.
"It's within my expectations." Xiao Fan shook his head as he looked at Ying Qing.
Although Xiao Fan might know what had happened when Yingqing returned to the clan, he didn't need to think to know that Yingqing had left the Shadow Clan for ten years. Back then, he was the eldest young master of the Shadow Clan. He enjoyed great authority and had access to many cultivation resources.
Now that he had returned, and as a core member of the Shadow Clan, that represented the rights of the clan's younger generation. Their cultivation resources would be redistributed. How could the other Shadow Clan youths who already had their current rights and cultivation resources be willing to accept this?
It was inevitable that many people would oppose Ying Qing together.
"It's fine if the people who once had a grudge with me are against me. After all, we didn't get along with each other in the first place. It's unlikely that we can shake hands and make peace. But what I can't accept is that the people I once personally trained are also against me!" Ying Qing's voice was incomparably bitter as he said, "Back then, they were all lower class youths of the Shadow Clan. Moreover, they were very unaccomplished!"
"I was the one who recommended them into the core of the Shadow Clan. Then, I used my authority to give them cultivation resources to help them grow. In fact, in order to help them, the conflict between me and my old enemies deepened. There were several conflicts and I was heavily punished by the upper echelons of the Shadow Clan!"
"In the end, they are now standing together with my old enemies. They oppose me and oppose my return!"
Xiao Fan and the others didn't speak. They silently listened to Ying Qing's bitter narration.
"What I can't accept even more is that my parents passed away three years ago. The only people closest to me left, my grandmother and my younger brother, are also against me. Their words continuously revealed that I should stay in Spirit Realm and shouldn't return to the Shadow Clan!" Ying Qing raised a cup of wine and drank it all. His body trembled as he said, "In the entire Shadow Clan, only a few people expressed their emotions and welcomed my return!"
"The others were all hostile and indifferent!"
"Then what meaning is there in my return?"
"Old Brother, you …!" The Little Bastard, who always had a bad mouth, didn't know what to say at this time. He could only wring his hands and sigh. Then, he lightly patted Ying Qing's shoulder, shook his head and said.
"Then what do you plan to do now?" Seeing that Ying Qing was unhappy, Xiao Fan didn't immediately bring up the matter of the Spirit Suppressing Nine Diagrams. Instead, he spoke quietly.
Ying Qing put down her wine cup and said in a hoarse voice, "This is no longer a place for me to stay. I plan to sever all ties with the entire Shadow Clan before leaving the Shadow Clan and leaving this place forever!"
"Why don't you come with us!" The Little Bastard acted like they were close. He reached out and put an arm around Ying Qing's shoulder. He said enthusiastically, "Come with us and you'll eat and drink well. You'll cut down whoever you don't like. If anyone dares to oppose you, I guarantee you'll beat them until their parents can't recognize them!"
"I …!" Ying Qing obviously didn't think of this. Now that the Little Bastard mentioned it, he was immediately stunned. He was stunned and speechless.
"My disciple, Lime, already has a pill servant. I plan to get my disciple four pill servants to ensure her absolute safety. If you're willing, I can give you a chance!" Xiao Fan spoke at this time, looked at Ying Qing and nodded.
"Pill servant?" Ying Qing was stunned by Xiao Fan's words. Then, he looked at Xiao Fan and then at Lime. He was tongue-tied and couldn't say anything.
Lime and he came from the Spirit Domain together. He also knew Lime's background. He knew that Lime was just an ordinary pill refining apprentice in the Dragon Devouring City.
Ying Qing, on the other hand, used to be the Young Master of the Shadow Clan. He used to be an all-powerful figure in the Dark Realm. The difference between him and Lime was like heaven and earth!
Now that Xiao Fan wanted him to be Lime's pill servant, the arrogant him couldn't accept it. Therefore, he didn't immediately agree like Snow Red.
However, this didn't mean that Ying Qing didn't agree at all!
Xiao Fan destroyed everything in the Spirit Domain. His invincible manner of suppressing all the major sects made Ying Qing's heart tremble. Although the outside world was still confused about the Yunkong College incident a few days ago and didn't know what had happened in Yunkong College, the outside world was still confused about the Yunkong College's self-imposed lockdown.
However, after Ying Qing learned about it, he immediately realized that Xiao Fan must have acted forcefully and suppressed the entire Yunkong College. Because of this, Yunkong College had no choice but to seal itself in order to protect itself.
No matter how strong Yunkong College was, even if it wasn't as strong as Heavenly Sword Mountain, could it be stronger than all the major sects in the Spirit Domain?
Xiao Fan could suppress the entire Spirit Domain and wipe out more than half of the major sects in the Spirit Domain. Even the founder of Heavenly Sword Mountain, the Laozu Sect, was killed. Suppressing Yunkong College was a piece of cake!
Therefore, facing an unpredictable existence like Xiao Fan, Ying Qing was tempted even if he had to become Lime's pill servant.
Following the strong was the nature of many cultivators. Ying Qing was no exception!
"What do you think?" Xiao Fan looked at Ying Qing and said quietly, "I need to remind you that you only have one choice. Once you say it, you can't change it!"
After hearing Xiao Fan's words, Little Bastard, Lin Shan, and Lime all looked at Ying Qing. Even Akira Yuki opened his eyes slightly and looked at Ying Qing, waiting for Ying Qing's choice.
Under the gazes of Xiao Fan and the others, Ying Qing's face showed signs of struggle. His hands clenched and unclenched. It was obvious that he was having an intense internal struggle.
After a moment of silence!
"Alright!"
Ying Qing suddenly took a deep breath and said firmly. After making the final decision, his eyes became incomparably resolute and he no longer hesitated.
Little Bastard put his arm around Ying Qing's shoulder and said enthusiastically, "Come, come, come. That's what a brother should be. Cheers!"
Lime was at a loss, but she didn't dare to oppose Xiao Fan's decision. At the same time, she understood that Xiao Fan was doing this for her own good. She knew that she didn't have the strength to truss up a chicken and didn't have much defensive power. Once she was targeted, she would be captured without putting up a fight. Therefore, she could only raise her cup and tacitly agree with Xiao Fan's decision before toasting Ying Qing.
Ying Qing returned the toast with Lime and said in an incomparably resolute voice, "Miss Lime, from now on, unless I die, no one will be able to harm you!"
Lime smiled faintly and nodded in response.
She put down her cup!
"Sir, please give me two more days about the Nine Soul Suppression Diagrams!" At this moment, Ying Qing spoke to Xiao Fan and said, "I've been thinking of a way to borrow the Nine Soul Suppression Diagrams, but I still need to work hard. I'll definitely take out the Nine Soul Suppression Diagrams in two days at most!"
"Alright!" Xiao Fan didn't object to Ying Qing's request. Instead, he nodded and said, "I'll borrow the Nine Soul Suppression Diagrams for seven days. After seven days, they'll be sent back to your Shadow Clan in perfect condition!"
"I understand!" Ying Qing said.
"Do what you need to do first. When I'm free, I'll teach you some cultivation methods and use them to increase your cultivation and strength!" Xiao Fan said.
"Thank you, sir!" Ying Qing's expression revealed a hint of excitement as she immediately said.
Xiao Fan's strength was unfathomably strong, so Ying Qing didn't doubt that the cultivation methods Xiao Fan would teach her would be astonishing. Even in the entire Shadow Clan, there might not be such a cultivation method.
Therefore, Ying Qing couldn't help but be excited.
Moreover, there was something Ying Qing didn't say about the Shadow Clan just now, and that was that Ying Qing was truly falling behind among the younger generation of the Shadow Clan.
In the end, Spirit Realm wasn't suitable for foreign clans to develop. Ten years had passed, and he was once the number one in the Shadow Clan. Now, there were more than one or two people who surpassed him in the Shadow Clan.
This was also another reason why he was hated by all parties in the Shadow Clan.
If Ying Qing's strength was still astonishing and he was still the number one in the Shadow Clan's younger generation, the current situation would definitely be much better.
"I'll go first!" Ying Qing stood up and said to Xiao Fan and the others. Then, after Xiao Fan nodded, she turned around and walked outside.
