Chapter 81: The Dispute in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect
At Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Pei Qing sent Shui Bing'er and the two other girls away. He looked at Zhu Zhuqing, who was closely following him, and remained silent for a while before finally bringing her back to his residence.
Zhu Zhuqing had already told him everything she had done, and Pei Qing was quite satisfied. As a qualified master, he felt he should reward her.
Most of the rewards he could give Zhu Zhuqing were very precious, some astonishing, and thus they could not be brought out openly.
Bringing Zhu Zhuqing back to his residence was unavoidable, and it was also convenient to be at his place.
Upon returning, Zhu Zhuqing faced Pei Qing's scrutinizing gaze and felt a little shy.
She was quite confident in her appearance, and in terms of physique, she far surpassed others her age.
At this moment, she was a bit curious whether her master would act on his primal instincts. If he were to do something to her, would she agree? Or would she accept?
Zhu Zhuqing was very clear about her current situation; she knew she had no possibility of refusing.
In the Star Luo Empire, some upper-class nobles could be said to take whatever they wanted from their maids, even damaging them without a second thought. Would she also become like that?
Zhu Zhuqing suddenly felt inexplicably worried, but her master was still very handsome.
At least much more handsome than those brothers of the Dai Family, she thought to herself.
"You did well, so I'm going to start rewarding you."
"Currently, your Cultivation is twenty-eight and a half level, just a little short of level twenty-nine."
"Your Martial Soul is Hell Spirit Cat, which belongs to the agility-attack system's Advanced Martial Soul, with the attribute of Hell."
"I don't have many Immortal Herbs suitable for you; only this one—Daffodil Jade Flesh Bone."
"Now you have completely broken with Shrek, so you are already my person. Since you are one of us, I won't let you suffer a loss. Here is also some whale rubber; you should take it together."
"Whale rubber can enhance your physical quality, making it easier for you to absorb high-quality soul rings."
"With your current Cultivation, as long as you take the Immortal Herb and whale rubber, you can directly reach level thirty. After obtaining a soul ring, reaching levels thirty-six or thirty-seven should not be too difficult."
In the original work, Zhu Zhuqing, by following the usual Cultivation path, could reach Soul Ancestor after taking the Immortal Herb. Considering the current nurturing she's receiving from him, her level before the Soul Master competition could be even higher.
Thirty-six or thirty-seven? Zhu Zhuqing looked at Pei Qing with some surprise, and her eyes gradually began to change.
How long had she known her master, and he was already willing to give her such a precious Immortal Herb?
Although she had completed the task her master assigned, such a simple provocation was just too easy.
So, did her master fancy her...?
Zhu Zhuqing's small face flushed, her breathing became a little rapid, and she even lowered her head, somewhat unwilling to look at Pei Qing's handsome face.
"Thank you, Master. Whatever you wish, I am willing..."
Pei Qing's expression was hard to describe; he always felt Zhu Zhuqing was overthinking something.
Zhu Zhuqing was beautiful, and he also had desires, but giving her the Immortal Herb was entirely because she was under his control, and he could easily control her life and death.
Pei Qing had never thought of forcing her into such things—after all, there was still a gentle older sister within the Silver Dragon King Scale.
She wouldn't watch him get eaten, after all—this gentle older sister was very possessive.
"This is the Daffodil Jade Flesh Bone; just take it directly, and I will be your Protector."
Pei Qing explained the uses of the Daffodil Jade Flesh Bone, then directly took it out.
While Zhu Zhuqing was taking the Immortal Herb, someone else also began to act on the other side.
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect
Bone Douluo crushed the wine glass in his hand. His gaunt body, over two meters tall, exuded a terrifying aura.
"Fengzhi, Rongrong has been humiliated like this—are we still going to endure it?"
"That brat named Pei Qing—I've always thought he was no good."
"You still want him to be Rongrong's fiancé? I think you've lost your mind. This time, no matter what, I must teach him a lesson!"
Bone Douluo had always disliked Pei Qing, as he believed Pei Qing was just lucky to awaken a good Martial Soul and had become arrogant, not even putting his beloved granddaughter in his eyes.
"Uncle Gu, don't get too agitated. I've already looked into this matter, and it is indeed Rongrong's fault."
Ning Fengzhi's face was grim. He increasingly felt that his daughter was excessively spoiled.
Is it a good idea to let such a daughter become the next Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?
He was now very doubtful—if his daughter became Sect Master, whether the sect would suffer a devastating blow due to her willfulness.
"Fengzhi, what do you mean? That Pei Qing knows Rongrong is the heir of our sect, yet he shows no respect at all. This is a provocation. Do you still want to let him go?"
"I think maybe..." Bone Douluo made a gesture of slitting his throat.
Due to his Martial Soul, Bone Douluo had an extreme and overbearing personality. For a genius like Pei Qing, who could not be controlled by the sect, he had long intended to kill him.
It was only because of Ning Fengzhi that he had given up on this idea. Now that Rongrong, whom he loved like his own granddaughter, was bullied like this, he couldn't hold back anymore and once again felt murderous intent well up in his heart.
"No, this is not allowed! If we kill Pei Qing, it would be equivalent to declaring war on the entire Heaven Dou Empire."
"Our sect would suffer a severe blow. Killing Pei Qing isn't difficult, but extinguishing the wrath of the Heaven Dou Empire is not."
Ning Fengzhi was a shrewd businessman; he would weigh the pros and cons. In his heart, although Rongrong's talent was good, it wasn't worth risking offending the Heaven Dou Empire.
To offend the empire for a daughter and risk the sect's industry would be unwise, especially for the Sect Master.
"Alright, Fengzhi, old Bone—have you forgotten Dugu Bo?"
"If you want to kill Pei Qing, the first step is to deal with him; otherwise, the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect could vanish from the Douluo Continent."
"Moreover, Dugu Bo's strength is probably already close to Super Douluo. Killing him..."
Sword Douluo's gaze grew serious. He generally disliked assassinations and wouldn't normally participate.
However, Bone Douluo's dangerous idea now forced him to speak.
To provoke a madman who uses poison and commands the Heavenly Dou Empire's hundreds of thousands of troops—this was simply thankless. Although he felt bad for Rongrong, he could still analyze the situation calmly.
