Zhou Shuran was montarily speechless; it was the first ti she felt so grateful to soone, yet Xu Hao completely missed the point and even said he didn't want her gratitude.
Could a human even say such things?
Many Xuann disciples thought Xu Hao's words were simply too adorable?
"Bah! Thick-headed straight man!" Zhou Shuran spat silently, looking at Xu Hao with the sa eyes as before, filled with sha and anger.
"Looking for a beating!"
Xu Hao imdiately gave Zhou Shuran a spank on her backside, leaving her dazed.
Yet Xu Hao disdainfully wiped his hand and nonchalantly said, "Eight more to go, I'll keep track of them clearly in mind."
Zhou Shuran was utterly furious inside.
Xu Hao actually dared to spank her behind again in public!
This was nearly driving her to collapse!
And this was in front of so many fellow junior sisters, how could she possibly face anyone again afterward?
At this mont, knowing they were safe, many Xuann disciples relaxed, finding it amusing to see the sect's top genius Zhou Shuran rendered completely defenseless by Xu Hao.
Zhou Shuran's master, the Seventh Elder, was extrely troubled at this ti. By all rights, if her disciple was being teased by soone else, she, as the master, was surely supposed to stand up for her disciple.
But Xu Hao had just saved them, and strictly speaking, Xu Hao was fulfilling the bet he made with Zhou Shuran on that day, so it wasn't teasing, was it?
...
The group headed towards the outskirts of the Gushen Sect, with none of the Gushen Sect daring to chase after them.
Watching Xu Hao and his crew get further away, the people of the Gushen Sect felt powerless.
Great Elder of Gushen Sect, Zuo Yanming, said coldly, "This Xu Hao is indeed formidable; in such a short span, he's gone from mastery phase to such a powerful expert. Unfortunately, the Sect's Protection Treasure was taken away by the sect leader and the others, and the Gu King is not here. Otherwise, I could have taken down Xu Hao myself!"
A nearby mber of the Gushen Sect imdiately said, "The Great Elder speaks the truth; Xu Hao is now peak of late-stage Grandmaster level. Even if his strength progresses, it won't progress much further. In an era where Martial sovereign level experts cannot erge, as long as we have the numbers and strong treasures, we can absolutely kill him!"
"No! Xu Hao must not be killed, but we can imprison him and force him to reveal all his secrets," Zuo Yanming said.
"Great Elder, why must Xu Hao not be killed? Is it because of the forces behind him? Our Gushen Sect's power is also very strong now, are we still afraid of them?"
"Not so."
Zuo Yanming looked sowhat lost, gazing at the edge of the sky, saying, "This world is far from what you and I see now. It can be said that the current struggles are efforts from various sides to beco stronger."
"Uh... this... disciple understands, we all strive to beco stronger." This person said.
Who doesn't cultivate to beco stronger?
No need for Zuo Yanming to remind.
Zuo Yanming looked at this disciple with so surprise; he was very average-looking, his strength was also quite common, rely peak of mastery, yet he dared to interrupt his words!
Interesting.
This child has a strong disposition.
As the Great Elder of the Gushen Sect, his very presence commands respect without anger, typically not even elite disciples, let alone an ordinary elder, would interrupt him during a conversation.
Yet this child was neither servile nor overbearing.
This child can be greatly used!
Zuo Yanming's heart stirred slightly, "What is your na?"
"Reporting to the Great Elder, the disciple's na is Qiu Ping," Qiu Ping responded neither servilely nor overbearingly.
Zuo Yanming nodded slightly, "The idle folks may now leave."
The other Gushen Sect mbers all left the high platform; only Qiu Ping and Zuo Yanming remained.
Zuo Yanming did not look at Qiu Ping, instead gazing at the edge of the sky, saying slowly, "Qiu Ping, today I will share so confidential matters with you. Rember them in your heart, but do not divulge them to others. Do you understand?!"
"The disciple understands!" Qiu Ping imdiately said, feeling a bit excited inside, for he was just an ordinary elite disciple. Despite higher status than outer sect and inner sect disciples, across the whole sect, his talent didn't rank in the top ten.
However, he has now gained the Great Elder's favor, possibly marking the start of his life taking off.
He imdiately listened attentively because secrets treated such seriously by the Great Elder were bound to be extraordinary.
Zuo Yanming slowly said, "This world is not as simple as it appears to ordinary people.
The vast majority of ordinary people will never et martial artists in their lifeti. In their eyes, the world is just plain and unremarkable, calm and without the existence of extraordinary powers;
In the eyes of ordinary martial artists, the world possesses extraordinary strength, which they are arduously pursuing. Their goal is to beco Grandmaster level experts;
In the eyes of most Grandmaster level experts, their goal is to beco Martial Honor level experts, entities worthy of people's songs, capable of prolonging life;
However, in the minds of a very few of us, there is another realm entirely."
