Chapter 99 Overestimated This Bloody World

Following the mystic energy released by Wu Qingce to a sparsely populated area, Jiang Beiran used his mind power to confirm that there was no one around and then used sound transmission to say to Wu Qingce, “Let’s do it here.”

Hearing his senior brother’s voice, Wu Qingce immediately turned around and came in front of Jiang Beiran.

“Why are you looking for me?” Jiang Beiran asked.

Wu Qingce cupped his hands toward Jiang Beiran and replied, “Sect Master said that he would bring me to the birthday celebration tomorrow.”

Jiang Beiran nodded after hearing this. This was also within his expectations. The birthday celebration was the Sect Master’s business, and the disciples were only here to participate in the gathering of young heroes. As for why Sect Master had to bring Wu Qingce along, it was very simple, they were just putting up a front.

“This is a good thing. It means that Sect Master Lu is starting to value you more and more.”

“But I’m so nervous…”.

“Nervous about what?”

“Look. It’s very obvious that Sect Master of Sect of Masked Moon has a big ego, but our Sect Master also has a big ego. What do you think I should do tomorrow?”

“Are you a Sect of Masked Moon disciple or a Sect of Returning Hearts disciple?”

Wu Qingce was stunned after hearing this and replied, “Of course I’m a Sect of Returning Hearts disciple.”

“Then what does the ego of Sect of Masked Moon’s Sect Master have to do with you?”

“But…”

“What ‘but’? He is a mystic master level expert. How can he bicker with a junior like you? If you should be proud, then be proud. If you cower, you will only make our Sect Master unhappy.”

Wu Qingce could not help but be enlightened after listening. He bowed and said, “You are right!”

“In addition, when you go to the birthday celebration with Sect Master Lu tomorrow, remember to pay more attention to the performance of the higher-ups of the various sects. When you return, report to me one by one.”

“Yes!” After agreeing, Wu Qingce asked carefully again, “What should I pay attention to?”

“Just remember their words and actions.”

Wu Qingce heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that, but he soon felt a knock on his forehead.

“What you should do is not to let out a sigh of relief, but to feel ashamed. If you could help me analyze the situation, would I need to go through so much trouble?”

“Brother Jiang, please calm down. I will work hard to learn how to read people’s words and expressions.”

“I hope you can keep your word. Is there anything else?”

“No… I just want to ask you this.”

“Okay, then you better perform well tomorrow. I’ll be leaving now.” After saying this, Jiang Beiran turned around and disappeared into the night.

The next day, Jiang Beiran and the other disciples were still free to move around, and they could freely visit the Sect of Masked Moon.

Although Mo Xia tried his best to invite Jiang Beiran to play Go in his room for an entire day, Jiang Beiran had the heavy responsibility of saving the sect, so he did not have the leisure to do so. Jiang Beiran tactfully rejected Mo Xia’s invitation and arrived at the door of the guest house.

Looking at the bustling guest houses, it could be seen that the Sect of Returning Hearts was not the only sect that had arrived early. The disciples of the other invited sects had most likely arrived as well.

Stepping out of the guest house, Jiang Beiran was thinking about where to go first when he saw four system options pop up.

[ Option 1: Head towards the alley on the west side. Reward for completion: Cold Moon Banner (black grade low tier)]

[ Option 2: Head towards the main road on the southeast side. Reward for completion: Youying Nail (yellow grade high tier)]

(Option 3: Head towards the small road on the south side. Reward for completion: Red Cloud Staff (yellow grade middle tier)]

[ Option 4: Head towards the main road on the north side. Reward for completion: Random basic attribute points + 1]

“It’s like the first time when I entered the Sect of Returning Hearts…’ Jiang Beiran had encountered this kind of situation when he had just entered the Sect of Returning Hearts, but he had not encountered it again after a few years. He had not expected that he would be here to experience it again.

After choosing option 4, Jiang Beiran turned around and walked towards the north.

[ Chosen quest completed. Reward: mind + 1]

On the way, Jiang Beiran thought about whether the danger in this option was the disciples of other sects or some hidden danger in the Sect of Masked Moon. After all, this was the Sect of Masked Moon’s territory, so the disciples of other sects should not dare to be too presumptuous. However, as soon as he was having this thought, he heard a conversation coming from not far away.

“Ha? Thousand Crane Villa is also invited? What a ridiculous joke.”

“What did you say!?”

“I mean that your Thousand Crane Villa is all trash! Do you hear me? Do you want me to say it again?”

“You dare to insult Thousand Crane Villa! Die!”

Jiang Beiran, “I still overestimated this dog-sh*t world…”

However, when he thought about it further, Jiang Beiran felt that there was a reason for this kind of conflict. It was because the Sect of Returning Hearts was not the only sect that did things like going down the mountain for a trial, the disciples of other sects also had to go down the mountain to carry out their sect’s quest.

From time to time, there were the disciples of the two sects encountered the same quest. In order to compete for the target, they would fight. After all, no one wanted to go back to the sect empty-handed.

There were also many historical reasons that would cause the disciples of the two sects to fight the moment they met. For example, the Sect of Returning Hearts also had such hostile sects, and there were quite a number of them. If they encountered their rivals, they would absolutely get into a fight. Jiang Beiran sighed and quickly left this place of trouble.

In the afternoon, Wu Qingce came back from the birthday celebration with Sect Master Lu. He returned to the guest house of the Sect of Returning Hearts. Just as he was about to go look for his senior brother, he saw Qi Cheng running towards him.

Qi Cheng was a disciple of the Order of Collapsing Mountain. A year ago, his cultivation had already reached level nine mystic realm. Before he left, Wu Qingce had selected him as his assistant.

“Reporting to Qing Gang, there were five junior brothers who had a conflict with the people of the Sect of True Martial. All of them were injured.”

“Are their injuries serious?” Wu Qingce immediately asked.

“They are not serious. They have already been treated.”

“Alright, let them recuperate first. I will report this to Sect Master.”

As soon as Wu Qingce finished speaking, he heard Jiang Beiran’s voice.

“Go directly to the Sect of True Martial and look for trouble. Don’t report this matter to Sect Master.”

Although Wu Qingce did not understand why Jiang Beiran wanted him to do this, he immediately called out to Qi Cheng who was about to turn around and leave, “Forget it. This small matter is not worth alerting Sect Master. Where are the people from the Sect of True Martial? Bring me there!”

Initially, Qi Cheng had a slightly disappointed look on his face. After he heard Qu Qingce changed his mind, he immediately said in surprise, “They are not far from us. I will bring you there right now.”

“Let’s go!”

With Qi Cheng leading the way, Wu Qingce soon arrived at a guest house across a street.

“Just shout. The more imposing the better.”

When Wu Qingce heard Jiang Beiran’s words again, Wu Qingce did not hesitate. He directly sank his aura into his dantian and shouted with the Rhymed Formula of Returning Hearts, “People from Sect of True Martial, Listen up! Wu Qingce from the Sect of Returning Hearts is here! Those who hurt my sect’s disciples, Get out now!”

When Qi Cheng saw that Wu Qingce was actually so domineering, he felt a surge of heroic spirit in his heart! It seemed like he was not afraid of being punish at all. It was worth it to follow this Qing gang!

“Who dares to be impudent in front of Sect of True Martial!”

With a furious roar, a young man wearing a sky-blue crane coat directly jumped down from the second floor. His eyes stared fiercely at Wu Qingce.

A great battle was about to break out!
