“Zhuge Family?” You Qianxue furrowed her brows, “I remember you killed a Holy Son from the Zhuge Family in the trial grounds of the Heavenly Realm, right?”
“It was that Zhuge Family’s Holy Son, Zhuge Xu. However, he was just one of the Holy Sons from the Zhuge Family, merely an outstanding talent among the younger generation and a future heir. This time, I have a feeling that the one calculating my fate is likely the strongest among the Zhuge Family, very possibly a Venerable.”
You Qianxue was taken aback, a Venerable?
“Chen, should we still go to the Southern Heavenly Realm?”
Being targeted by a Venerable, You Qianxue felt it was dangerous no matter how she thought about it.
“It’s fine.” Qin Chen said confidently, “Even if a Venerable wants to calculate my fate, it’s not that easy. The Law of Destiny is elusive and unpredictable. Moreover, I have the Origin Book to shield myself, and the Nine Star Divine Emperor Technique, even a Venerable cannot deduce my true identity. The techniques of fate are not as special as you imagine.”
“However, the Zhuge Family is one of the top families in the Southern Heavenly Realm. Being watched like this could bring some trouble. It seems I need to give them a little warning.”
Qin Chen's gaze turned cold, “No matter how strong the Zhuge Family is, not everyone is a Venerable. If they anger me, I will make the Zhuge Family regret opposing me.”
Being constantly targeted like this, Qin Chen felt uneasy, especially since the other party mastered the techniques of fate; it made it hard to defend against.
Of course, it was not the right time yet.
You Qianxue held Qin Chen’s hand, “Chen, I will always be by your side.”
After leaving the martial arts arena, Qingxue Silan immediately walked over nervously, “Master, are you okay?”
Qin Chen shook his head, just about to speak when he suddenly froze, “When did I become your Master?”
“Didn’t you guide me before? Then you’re my Master!” Qingxue Silan said with wide eyes, “Master, please accept your disciple's bow!” Saying this, she immediately bowed.
Qin Chen hurriedly supported her, “I didn’t agree to take you as a disciple; you misunderstood.”
He was currently busy with a pile of matters; how could he have the mood to accept a disciple?
“That won’t do, Master. You’ve already guided me; being guided means we’re master and disciple.” Qingxue Silan counted on her fingers.
“Then there's the saying that once a teacher, always a father.” Qin Chen replied helplessly.
“Uh, Master, do you want to be my father?” Qingxue Silan shook her head, “I already have a father. Do you want to be my godfather?”
Pfft!
You Qianxue couldn't help but chuckle.
Qin Chen was speechless; what was going on in Qingxue Silan's head? However, with her playful antics, both Qin Chen and You Qianxue felt their moods lighten considerably.
What was there to fear?
When soldiers come, block them; when water comes, dam it. What’s the Zhuge Family to worry about? At worst, he could just destroy them!
In the following days, Qin Chen did not rest and trained frantically. He felt an intense pressure.
Boom!
One day, the battleship suddenly shook lightly.
“Huh?” Qin Chen opened his eyes, his consciousness spreading out, unexpectedly discovering that the battleship had approached a massive shadow.
“Master, we have arrived at the Void Market.”
Qingxue Silan was the first to knock on the door. During these past few days, she had continuously addressed Qin Chen as Master and arranged for people from the Qingxue Family on the battleship to prepare various delicacies for Qin Chen and You Qianxue. Dragon King's Jade Brew and Starry Sky Tea were plentiful, taking meticulous care of Qin Chen.
Di Wang Mu Zhi Feng watched with amusement; it had been some time since they last met, and now Young Master had become the Master of the Qingxue Family's second miss. The Young Mistress had become a Master Wife; this was really...
However, this was the second miss of the Qingxue Family, one of the most powerful families in the Southern Heavenly Realm. If the Qingxue Family held a Master Invitation Conference, probably all the powerful figures from the Southern Heavenly Realm would be lined up at their doorstep.
