Martial Master

“Why should the Garden Master be so flustered? If I were an enemy, would I speak so candidly?”

Qin Chen, however, did not take it to heart. With a faint smile, he gently picked up a cup of tea and drank it all in one go.

The Medicine King Garden Master was taken aback, realizing that the person before her was Qin Chen. If Qin Chen harbored any hostility towards her, how could he say such things? Moreover, it was impossible for him to teach her the soul-refining technique, allowing her to regain her strength.

With the murderous intent on her body retracted, the Medicine King Garden Master sat down again. However, her heart was not as calm as her expression suggested. She gazed at Qin Chen and asked, “May I ask why Young Master Chen has said such words?”

Qin Chen smiled and replied, “When Elder Zhuo brought me to meet the Garden Master for the first time, he mentioned the branch of the Piao Miao Palace in the Northern Sky Domain. At that moment, I noticed a hint of murderous intent in the Garden Master’s eyes. Although it was fleeting, I still caught it. That’s why I had such speculation, and to my surprise, I was right.”

In fact, Qin Chen was not entirely sure; he was merely guessing.

“What?”

The Medicine King Garden Master was even more shocked. How could Qin Chen discern this?

Goodness, this is too abnormal!

When she first met Qin Chen and heard Zhuo Qingfeng mention offending the Piao Miao Palace, she did indeed show a hint of murderous intent. However, this murderous intent was extremely subtle; she hadn’t paid much attention to it herself. If Qin Chen hadn’t brought it up, she might not even remember it.

Who would have thought that it would be captured by Qin Chen?

It is worth noting that when Qin Chen first came to the Medicine King Garden, his cultivation was merely at the sixth level, a Martial Venerable. Yet he could keenly sense the hidden murderous intent of her, a former eighth-level Martial Emperor. What kind of insight is this?

The Medicine King Garden Master couldn’t help but feel that her concealment was poor. After all, besides Qin Chen, Zhuo Qingfeng had also come along, and Zhuo Qingfeng was a seventh-level Martial King. Yet, he hadn’t noticed it, but Qin Chen had.

How could this not indicate something?

“I wonder which force the Garden Master hails from in the Three Heavens of the Martial Domain, and why you have offended the Piao Miao Palace?” Qin Chen squinted and asked.

Three hundred years had passed, and his understanding of the Martial Domain was still stuck in the past. He was eager to gather information about the current state of the Martial Domain.

The Medicine King Garden Master looked at Qin Chen in shock once again.

Isn’t Qin Chen a disciple from the Hundred Dynasties? How does he even know about the Three Heavens of the Martial Domain? It should be known that the Hundred Dynasties is incredibly remote, and it would be impossible for them to have any knowledge of the Martial Domain; otherwise, she wouldn’t be hiding here.

Even putting the Hundred Dynasties aside, in the Northern Sky Domain, many royal-level forces only knew that the Martial Domain is the supreme place of the continent, but they had no idea that the Martial Domain actually has three heavens, each a world of its own.

“Actually, the Garden Master doesn’t need to worry. I, too, have some connections with the Piao Miao Palace.”

Qin Chen squinted as he spoke, and when it came to connections, his tone suddenly became heavy, flashing with a hint of coldness.

That bone-chilling coldness made the Medicine King Garden Master shudder all over, creating an unapproachable feeling, as if she were facing a lofty figure whom she had to look up to, instilling fear from deep within.

She looked at Qin Chen in horror. How could this be possible? No matter how strong Qin Chen is, he is only at the peak of the mid-seventh level; how could he make her, an eighth-level Martial Emperor, feel fear?

Moreover, she was not an ordinary Martial Emperor. If she were at her peak, there wouldn’t be many who could rival her in the entire Northern Sky Domain.
