79: Three things in one fell swoop
Bai Jingyun and the others raised their heads in shock.
At first, when Liu Shuwan was inexplicably angry, they were still a bit nervous, but Qin Jiang's address...
Everyone saw Liu Shuwan's small hand being held in Qin Jiang's palm, and their pupils constricted.
Being held by the hand by Qin Jiang in front of so many people, Liu Shuwan's pretty face blushed slightly, and the pressure she was exerting on everyone instantly dissipated.
Seeing this, Qin Jiang smiled slightly and said to Bai Jingyun and the others:
"Uncle Bai, Wan'er was the Saint Sword Sect Holy Maiden before, you can still call her Holy Maiden now."
"Oh, alright."
Everyone nodded repeatedly.
Their minds were in a daze, feeling as if they were dreaming.
Just like that, in a state of confusion, they followed Qin Jiang and the others and left the Sword Valley.
First, after settling Liu Shuwan, Qin Jiang went out again and found Bai Jingyun.
All the Elders were also with Bai Jingyun.
Seeing Qin Jiang, everyone's gaze was fixed on him.
After hesitating for a moment, the Great Elder couldn't help but ask:
"Saint Sword Sect Holy Son, what is your relationship with our Ancestor?"
"You didn't figure it out?"
Qin Jiang raised an eyebrow.
Everyone fell silent for a moment. Of course, they had figured it out, but they just couldn't quite believe it.
Before they could speak, Qin Jiang continued:
"Also, what did I tell you? Call Wan'er Holy Maiden from now on. Otherwise, if Wan'er gets angry, I won't help you."
These guys have no memory at all.
Although everyone was a bit confused as to why Liu Shuwan would get angry, they still nodded. After all, when they called her Ancestor before, Liu Shuwan was indeed very angry.
"Alright, Wan'er's matter has nothing to do with you. The reason I came here this time is to talk to you about the Sword Valley."
Qin Jiang said.
Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up, and Bai Jingyun couldn't help but say:
"The treasure inside, has it been taken out?"
"It has been taken out."
Qin Jiang nodded:
"However, don't think about it. Wan'er has already used that treasure, and she has already reached the Sword Heart Realm."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was overjoyed. Regardless of who used it, the Saint Sword Sect finally had a Sword Dao Emperor!
However, before the joy could spread, they thought that given the relationship between the Holy Maiden and Qin Jiang, was the Holy Maiden still considered a member of the Saint Sword Sect now?
Qin Jiang definitely wouldn't stay in the Saint Sword Sect for long.
The Holy Maiden would likely follow him. Didn't that mean that both Sword Dao Emperors would actually go to the Qin Family?
And the Saint Sword Sect would get nothing.
They had even lost a lot.
For a time, everyone fell silent.
"You're not happy?"
Qin Jiang blinked.
Bai Jingyun and the others let out a dry laugh. Happy? How could they be happy?
Their "daughter" was gone, the treasure in the Sword Valley was gone, and even the Ancestor who used the Sword Valley treasure was taken away.
Of course, their Saint Sword Sect also gained some empty fame.
At least on the surface, Qin Jiang was also the Saint Sword Sect Holy Son, and the news of the Holy Maiden breaking through to sword heart could also be spread, although the Holy Maiden would most likely leave...
Thinking carefully, it wasn't completely without gain.
With this empty fame, at least the Saint Sword Sect could develop rapidly. Now, there was already a faint trend of becoming a Sword Dao Holy Land.
After the news of the Holy Maiden spread, it should be almost there.
Their expressions improved slightly.
"Oh right, the source of power in the Sword Valley came from that treasure. So, after Wan'er used the treasure, the Sword Valley will..."
"Uh, you understand, right?"
Qin Jiang delivered another critical hit.
Everyone's faces stiffened, and their mood, which had just recovered, immediately sank again.
Several of the Elders even almost fainted directly.
"The Sword Valley, is it gone?"
Bai Jingyun said tremblingly.
Qin Jiang nodded and said:
"The Sword Valley is just the remnant of a Sword Dao Emperor. Exchanging it for a true Sword Dao Emperor, your Saint Sword Sect isn't at a loss."
Not at a loss?
Bai Jingyun glared at Qin Jiang. How could you say that? If the Holy Maiden stayed in the Saint Sword Sect, then it really wouldn't be a loss, but you abducted our Holy Maiden!
The Saint Sword Sect had lost terribly.
Even the good-tempered Great Elder's body was trembling slightly; he really couldn't bear it anymore.
Looking at Qin Jiang's indifferent face, Bai Jingyun felt a bit dizzy and even regretted why he brought Qin Jiang to the Saint Sword Sect.
He came for a trip, and the Saint Sword Sect lost everything.
It hurt his heart.
Bai Jingyun's face was a little pale. Now, he just wanted to quickly send Qin Jiang away. Otherwise, who knows what else the Saint Sword Sect would lose.
Oh right, his Disciple didn't get along with Qin Jiang. If he stayed any longer, Qin Jiang wouldn't go after his Disciple, would he?
Lin Chen was the Saint Sword Sect's only hope now.
He couldn't be ruined anymore.
They had to send Qin Jiang away as soon as possible!
Having made up his mind, Bai Jingyun forced a smile onto his face:
"Xiao Jiang, you've been at our Saint Sword Sect for over a month now, right?"
"Yes, it's been over a month. However, I've been in the Sword Valley all this time and haven't had a good look around the Saint Sword Sect, so I want to..."
"Cough cough, Xiao Jiang, there's nothing much to see in the Saint Sword Sect. Look, you've been out for so long, the Qin Family must be worried. How about you go back sooner?"
Hearing this, Qin Jiang looked at Bai Jingyun.
Wanting to drive him away?
How could that be allowed!
He had been here for so long and hadn't even gotten close to Brother Lin Chen yet. How could he just leave like this?
"I plan to stay for a while longer."
Qin Jiang said directly.
Bai Jingyun's smile was a bit forced, but he couldn't refuse Qin Jiang. No matter from which aspect, Qin Jiang could handle him.
He sighed in his heart, muttering to himself that he could only instruct Lin Chen not to provoke Qin Jiang anymore.
"Alright, I've said everything that needed to be said. You handle the matter of the Sword Valley.
I should go back now."
After speaking, Qin Jiang left directly.
Looking at his retreating figure, everyone was deeply disheartened. In the end, they all looked at Bai Jingyun.
In their eyes, there was an inexplicable look.
This guy was brought back by you!
Bai Jingyun gave a bitter smile. He could have imagined that Qin Jiang could go deep into the Sword Valley, and he could have imagined giving the treasure from the Sword Valley to someone from the Saint Sword Sect...
Moreover, they could also use Qin Jiang's reputation.
Originally, it was a matter of killing three birds with one stone.
But the only thing he didn't expect was that Qin Jiang actually captured their Ancestor, and even gave the treasure from the Sword Valley to the Ancestor...
The plan of killing three birds with one stone directly became a plan of losing three things at once.
In the end, it was the Great Elder who spoke:
"Let it be, let it be.
Although the Saint Sword Sect Holy Son and Holy Maiden will eventually leave, no matter what, they are still considered people of the Saint Sword Sect. It's not a loss, not a loss..."
He was comforting everyone and also comforting himself.
"Jingyun, you handle the matter of the Sword Valley. Don't cause emotional turmoil among the Disciples.
The news of the Holy Maiden's Breakthrough can also be spread. At least, the Holy Maiden is truly considered one of our Saint Sword Sect's people. This time, with the momentum of the Holy Maiden, we are very likely to become a Sword Dao Holy Land.
This matter must be handled well."
