"Clang!"
The sound of metal clashing rang out, and a figure was seen blocking in front of Qin Zi.
"Dad!"
Qin Zi exclaimed with surprise and joy.
Qin Chuan looked towards Elder Wu and said solemnly, "Elder Wu, as an elder, striking at a sect disciple isn't quite right."
"Humph, as a sect elder, I naturally shouldn't bully the weak, but as a grandfather, I must avenge my grandson!"
Elder Wu coldly looked at Qin Chuan and questioned, "Don't be sarcastic. If it were your son who was crippled, wouldn't you seek revenge?"
Qin Chuan was taken aback.
Then he laughed wryly, "You have a point. Anyone would find such a situation unacceptable."
"But...I see Wu Xiu's injuries aren't irreversible, there's no need to make it a life or death matter."
"You have a way?!"
Elder Wu's eyes shone with surprise, his attitude transformed completely: "If you can heal my grandson, not only will I overlook this matter, but I'll also owe you a favor!"
The joy of regaining something is often greater than the pain of losing.
When someone kills the person you care about the most, you will hate him, but if he brings that person back to life when you're heartbroken, you would no longer hate, only feel endless gratitude.
Elder Wu felt this way now, hoping that Qin Chuan had a way to heal his grandson.
"Give me three days, it should be fine."
Qin Chuan said.
"Alright! Then I'll await good news!"
Elder Wu nodded solemnly, then picked up the unconscious Wu Xiu and hurriedly left the mission plaza.
"Everyone disperse."
Qin Chuan waved to the surrounding disciples, and they gradually dispersed.
At this moment, a pair of siblings dressed in outer sect disciple uniforms hesitated and walked over.
"Elder Qin, Brother Qin Zi, this matter started because of us siblings...sorry for causing trouble."
The siblings lowered their heads, faces full of guilt, the sister even began to shed tears.
Qin Zi said nothing.
If it was just him, he would magnanimously wave his hand and give the girl a warm smile, saying it's no problem.
But with his father present, he didn't dare to act rashly and pretended not to hear.
"Raise your heads."
Qin Chuan instructed the siblings.
"Yes."
The siblings trembled slightly, then slowly raised their heads, looking at Qin Chuan with reverence.
Qin Chuan then got a clear look at their faces.
The brother was unremarkable, nothing to draw attention, but the sister...was very ugly!
It wasn't that her features were hideous.
There was a dark blue birthmark on her forehead, a large one, covering her right eye, making it look like a panda eye.
"This..."
Even with Qin Chuan's habit of mentally preparing, he froze for a moment at the unexpected sight.
But the mental preparation helped him remain composed, not showing too much expression.
He scrutinized the girl carefully.
Her features were actually quite pretty, and her eyes were full of spirit; if not for the birthmark...
She might even be a great beauty!!
"Hehe..."
He silently mocked himself, having figured out the trope; it's a variant of the hero saving the beauty, isn't it?
The ugly girl is shunned by everyone until her destined one steps in, becoming the only light in her life.
Later, she awakens some bloodline or gains a great opportunity, transforming into an unparalleled beauty.
The disdain from others, contrasted with the steadfastness of her destined one, makes her devoted to him.
Isn't this a harem?!
"Elder Qin, did...did I scare you?" The girl, seeing Qin Chuan in a daze, immediately lowered her head in self-consciousness.
"No, not at all."
Qin Chuan regained his senses, smiled, and shook his head, "What's your name?"
The girl whispered, "I'm Shui Qingrou, my brother is Shui Qinghan."
"Good names."
Qin Chuan praised, then said, "Train well, if you encounter difficulties in the future, you can look for Qin Zi."
Then he turned and patted his son's shoulder, "Meeting each other is fate, if they have difficulties, help them if you can."
With that, he rose into the sky, transforming into a golden light, heading towards the distant sky.
"Dad, where are you going?"
Qin Zi asked in surprise.
"To clean up your mess!" Qin Chuan's voice of playful rebuke echoed from the sky, then his figure flew away.
"Brother Qin Zi, we'll be leaving then."
The girl shyly said while slightly lowering her head, then pulled her brother along, running off.
"Goodbye."
Qin Zi said.
He actually hadn't given the girl much thought, since she was too ugly. Previously, he just helped out of a sense of justice.
If he had known it would cause such trouble, he wouldn't have intervened, just turned a blind eye...
"But, what did Dad mean by asking me to look after them? As far as I know, Dad is never that helpful to others."
Qin Zi frowned.
He understood his father very well.
His dad treated him exceptionally well, with all his love, selflessly.
But objectively speaking.
His dad was actually a cold person, always prioritizing benefits, never helping outsiders without reason.
So, in this situation...
"I remember now!!"
Suddenly, a golden-haired woman's voice rang out in his mind, filled with surprise and deeply impressed admiration.
"What is it?"
Qin Zi asked curiously.
"I just recalled, that birthmark on the girl's face resembles a rare physique from legends!"
"This physique is called the Nine Yin Bagua Body, before awakening, the Yin Sha Energy rages, causing disfigurement, but after awakening, one becomes extremely beautiful and has terrifying talent in cultivation."
"Tsk tsk tsk, I didn't notice before, but your dad spotted it immediately...that's the difference."
She sighed, her admiration for Qin Chuan growing stronger.
Which girl doesn't admire strength? Ultimately, she's just a blossoming girl of over a thousand years.
"This...Nine Yin Bagua Body? How does it compare to my Divine Body?" Qin Zi's first instinct was to compete.
"Well, normally, your Divine Body is stronger, as you have no weaknesses, perfect in every way."
The golden-haired woman thought for a moment, then said, "But nothing is absolute, the Nine Yin Bagua Body is rather peculiar, if taught by a mentor with the same physique, its potential can be terrifying."
"I remember a Nine Yin Bagua Body once slaughtered two peers with Divine Bodies, stunning an era!"
"Hiss!!"
Qin Zi took a sharp breath.
"Don't be surprised, physique isn't everything, some people have no special physique and still slay Divine Bodies, what about that?"
The golden-haired woman smiled, eyes burning, "Truly powerful ones are never just about physique, it's about the person!"
"Like your dad, to him, with or without a special physique makes no difference."
"Today, there are three Martial Emperor-level Divine Bodies and other powerful physiques, but after regaining his past life cultivation, your dad ignored them and went straight to the upper realm, what does that say?"
"It shows that to him, regardless of any Divine or Sacred Body, if they aren't strong enough, they're just chickens and dogs!"
Her eyes shone with reverent light, a worship of power and strength!
