Chapter 1208 – A Scum Dragon That Bullies the Weak and Fears the Strong

Qin Yu quickly contacted his fifth and sixth senior-apprentice brothers, and Iron Mountain and Earth Stride soon arrived. They had been tasked by elder senior-apprentice brother to take care of their little junior-apprentice brother who had just entered. They didn’t dare to neglect their duties.

Of course, they were also worried that their little junior-apprentice brother suffered an accident and needed their help.

When they arrived, the two people swept their eyes over Qin Yu a few times. They saw that he had both his arms and legs and he wasn’t bruised black and blue, completely different from what they thought he would be like.

How to say this…Qin Yu was sure that he could feel surprise, relief, and some disappointment in their eyes.

To be honest, he could accept surprise and relief. But what the hell was this disappointment for? These two senior-apprentice brothers were too unreliable!

As if sensing something, Iron Mountain lightly coughed. He smiled and said, “Little junior-apprentice brother, why did you ask for us to come?”

This smile, this warm gaze, and combined with his tall and strong statue, he gave off a sense of complete security. It was impossible to feel any more comfortable.

But after experiencing fifth senior-apprentice brother’s shy and dull act, Qin Yu wouldn’t be deceived by his appearance anymore. This man was much smarter than he seemed. Compared to him, the seemingly intelligent and wily sixth senior-apprentice brother was tricked often.

However, according to what Lei Xiaoyu said, sixth senior-apprentice brother was sworn friends with fifth senior-apprentice brother. They were like shadows to each other, basically inseparable.

Uh…could it be that sixth senior-apprentice brother had masochistic tendencies? If not, then surely he would have flipped the table and even started a fight!

But he was overthinking things.

Qin Yu restrained his thoughts and cupped his hands together. “I greet senior-apprentice brothers. The reason I took the liberty to ask you two to come here was because there was a matter I was hoping to discuss with you both.”

He thought for a moment and realized there wasn’t any good way to talk about this issue. He might as well bring it up into the open. Perhaps it would be much easier.

Welcoming the looks of fifth and sixth senior-apprentice brothers, Qin Yu continued to say, “It’s like this. When I was in the Endless Sea I had some attainments and I need to focus on cultivating for a period of time. But since I live in the garden, I need to use up contribution points. I don’t want to take on other missions, so to avoid delay, I hope to discuss with my fellow senior-apprentice brothers and sisters to let me undertake the task of cleaning up the peach blossoms.”

Earth Stride mumbled, “Ah…” He lengthened his tone, rolling his eyes, “Little junior-apprentice brother, you should know that we usually follow established rules and customs in the peach garden. I’m afraid it won’t be good to suddenly change something that has been established for such a long time.”

Iron Mountain slapped Earth Stride’s shoulder. With a loud bang, the skinny sixth senior-apprentice brother immediately shortened by a head’s height. “Since little junior-apprentice brother is willing to take over the task of cleaning up the peach blossoms, that is a good thing. Don’t play around with this. Don’t forget, our junior-apprentice sister hates this matter the most. If she becomes angry because of what you said, don’t blame me for not warning you when you are beaten up.”

Earth Stride shrunk his neck and gave a dry smile. “My intention isn’t like what fifth senior-apprentice brother described at all. He’s narrow-minded and overly cautious like that.” Earth Stride pulled his feet out of the soil and patted his chest, “Little junior-apprentice brother, don’t worry. Since this is the first thing you’ve asked me to do, I will surely do it well and beautifully. In the future, the task of cleaning up the peach blossoms will be handled by yourself!”

Qin Yu cupped his hands together. “Thank you sixth senior-apprentice brother.” Then, he smiled at Iron Mountain and nodded to express his thanks.

Things proceeded smoothly. It was unknown what fifth and sixth senior-apprentice discussed in detail, but after learning that their new little junior-apprentice brother had taken the initiative to take on the task of cleaning up the peach blossoms, all of the senior-apprentice brothers and sisters were left fully satisfied.

On this day, as Qin Yu was cleaning up the peach blossoms, while his movements seemed calm and carefree, his eyes were basically glazed over as he mechanically did his job.

Suddenly, a fragrant wind rushed at him. The scent was nice, so nice that even the distracted Qin Yu was dragged back to reality.

He looked up. At some time, a mesmerizingly beautiful woman had appeared. She wore a gorgeous and flowing white dress. Her lips were bright red and she stared at him with interest, a happy smile on her face.

Everyone had a love of beauty, and Qin Yu was no exception. As a hot-blooded man, it was inevitable that he would be left dazed by the sight of her for a moment. His eyes even paused on her.

As a result, the beautiful woman’s smile brightened even further, clearly delighted with Qin Yu’s reaction.

“Little junior-apprentice brother is truly an extraordinary person. To be so enthralled even while doing something as boring as cleaning up peach blossoms, it seems you like it very much. As your senior-apprentice sister, I am relieved. If I didn’t see this with my own eyes, I really would be feeling a little guilty.”

Qin Yu immediately responded. He cupped his hands together, “Qin Yu greets seventh senior-apprentice sister.”

There were three female disciples in the peach garden. There wasn’t any need to mention Peachy or Lei Xiaoyu. The woman in front of him was without a doubt his mysterious seventh senior-apprentice sister, the one said to have a different but equally beautiful face every time she appeared.

Seventh senior-apprentice sister smiled. “What a good boy. If anyone dares to bully you later, just tell me their name; I will deal with them for you…that’s right, my name is Cai Sang. It’s a pleasant name, so remember it.”

With a wave of her hand, the moving and enchanting Cai Sang, whose face was beautiful and whose body was even more enthralling, turned and left.

It seemed that she only came here to take a look at Qin Yu. Once she saw him and felt relieved, she left.

She came and left without a sound, leaving nothing behind…ah…it wasn’t actually nothing. To Qin Yu’s bewilderment, he was now sheltered by a big boss.

From the conversations of fifth and sixth senior-apprentice brother, it wasn’t hard to draw this conclusion. Even though seventh senior-apprentice sister was ranked below them, she was definitely a powerful character.

The next one to come was Lei Xiaoyu!

Okay. To be exact, after seventh senior-apprentice sister left, the eighth senior-apprentice sister came to visit.

This was a painful realization!

Lei Xiaoyu stared at Qin Yu with a puzzled expression. “Big Brother Qin, what are you thinking? Why did you decide to take on all the recent missions of cleaning up the peach blossoms? I left you a message in the booklet. No one likes to do this and the contribution value is too low. It’s just a waste of time!”

Qin Yu smiled, “I have to cultivate for a period of time and I don’t have the spare energy to do other things. Also, I just joined Peach Blossom Spring, so it’s nice to help my senior-apprentice brothers and sisters and leave a good impression on them.”

“Big Brother Qin, there’s no need to do this. I’ve told you that it’s easy to get along with the fellow senior-apprentice brothers and sisters. You don’t have to do this.” She bit her lips, reaching out to grab him, “Let’s go. I’ll bring you to look for the fellow senior-apprentice brothers and sisters. I’ll explain to them that you can’t delay your cultivation.”

Qin Yu instead held onto her. His smile remained bright as he said, “Xiaoyu, I did this all on my own. Where did my senior-apprentice brothers and sisters force me? You’re overthinking things.”

He looked up at the trees full of peach blossoms and the ground that was covered in a thick layer of petals. His tone became more relaxed as he said, “The peach trees in the garden are all touched by teacher’s Saint aura. Cleaning up these fallen leaves, to me, is also a way of approaching teacher’s Great Dao, and also a form of cultivation.”

Pa –

Pa –

With the sound of applause, White Phoenix laughed and appeared. He looked at Qin Yu, his eyes full of praise and acclaim. “At such a young age, little junior-apprentice brother is able to understand the truth of cultivation in the world. It’s no wonder you have your current cultivation level.”

Qin Yu and Lei Xiaoyu bowed, “We greet third senior-apprentice brother.”

“Mm, rise.” White Phoenix nodded, and then turned his head to look at a little black snake that was uncomfortably wriggling around on his shoulder. He helplessly smiled and said, “Azure Dragon, junior-apprentice brother Qin Yu is cultivating wholeheartedly, so how can he bully you? You must be overthinking things. Remember to get closer to junior-apprentice brother Qin Yu in the future and don’t stir up any more trouble.”

The miniature Azure Dragon felt extremely aggrieved. He thought, you didn’t even ask anything, so how do you know he didn’t bully me? And what was with those last words? Don’t stir up any trouble? Who is stirring up trouble!?

He had a thought to roar out loud, and call Qin Yu out for knocking on his head before.

But for some unknown reason, when Azure Dragon saw Qin Yu he felt panicked. Even though he knew that Qin Yu wouldn’t do anything with White Phoenix here, he couldn’t help but feel flustered.

Azure Dragon was stricken with grief. He thought, was he actually a scum dragon that feared the strong and bullied the weak? Why else would this be happening!

Lei Xiaoyu’s eyes widened as she saw the sad and sorrowful expression of the normally arrogant Azure Dragon.

This surname Qin, what evil sorcery did he know? Why was Lei Xiaoyu so close to him, and even White Phoenix turned on him as soon as he appeared?

Azure Dragon was heartbroken. He could never love again. Let him turn into shards of glass, falling to the bottom of the icy lake, never to see the sun again…

Before the pitiful Azure Dragon could dwell in his own misery any further, Lei Xiaoyu grabbed him up. She smiled and said, “Since third senior-apprentice brother came looking for Big Br…for little junior-apprentice brother, there must be something you want to discuss. I will be leaving first.”

Her face flushed red. Not daring to look at Qin Yu’s face, Lei Xiaoyu hurried away carrying Azure Dragon.

White Phoenix chuckled. “That little girl Xiaoyu is getting smarter with each day. But the reason I came here really is because I have a matter I would like to consult with little junior-apprentice brother about.” As he spoke, he winked and said, “So little junior-apprentice brother, please don’t misunderstand. I really didn’t bring Azure Dragon here to punish you for some injustice.”

Qin Yu nearly choked on himself. What was the meaning of this? Was third senior-apprentice brother reminding him that the reason he originally came here was to scold him?

Seeing White Phoenix in front of him with his pure and warm smile, Qin Yu felt that something wasn’t right. After thinking about it a few times, he decided not to bully Azure Dragon in the future.

That fellow was truly loved and adored!

It wasn’t worth it if it would provoke trouble for himself.

Lightly coughing a few times, Qin Yu laid down his peach blossom cleaning tool and said, “May I ask third senior-apprentice brother what your reason for coming here is?”

White Phoenix blinked his eyes. “I heard that in order to celebrate my little junior-apprentice brother moving into a new home, little junior-apprentice sister gifted you a pack of good tea that master bestowed to her.”

Qin Yu gestured with a hand, “I don’t understand the art of tea much, so third senior-apprentice brother came at the perfect time. Let’s taste it together.”

“Hahaha, then I’ll be impolite.”
