131: Chapter 131 What He Did Over the Past Month

"Why are you here?"

Shen Wangshu frowned slightly. "At school earlier, I heard that you hadn't been to school for over a month. My mother called you, but you didn't answer."

"Aren't you going to explain?"

She started making things difficult the moment they met.

"Wangshu, alright, Qin Chuan must have gone to see his sister." Su Yingxia started to explain on Qin Chuan's behalf.

Although they had both been at the entrance of the Xiao Family, they didn't know that Xiao Jinhe had used Qin Lan to threaten him, and they certainly didn't know that Qin Chuan was the new Land Immortal.

Otherwise, how would they dare to question him like this?

Yang Siyi didn't speak, because she wasn't very familiar with Qin Chuan, and most of her impressions came from what she heard from Shen Wangshu.

This led to her not having a very good impression of Qin Chuan either.

Seeing Su Yingxia still defending Qin Chuan, Shen Wangshu felt a bit irritated.

She had said so much, yet Su Yingxia still hadn't listened.

She had thought that after witnessing the Peak of the martial path this time, Su Yingxia's horizons would definitely have broadened, but it seemed she still couldn't forget Qin Chuan.

Shen Wangshu was frustrated by her lack of progress, and the key was that Qin Chuan had no self-awareness at all; he completely lacked any sense of self-knowledge.

"You disappeared for over a month and fell behind in your studies. Even in the Business School, it isn't easy to graduate."

Shen Wangshu said in a deep voice.

"Where I go seems to have nothing to do with you, right?" Qin Chuan said indifferently.

From beginning to end, he didn't even glance at Shen Wangshu.

But it was precisely this attitude that made Shen Wangshu even angrier.

"Do you mean to say that I'm just being sentimental?"

She was furious.

If it weren't for her mother's request, why would she bother with Qin Chuan?

They were acquaintances, after all, but this guy completely ignored what she said.

Did he really think he could end up with Su Yingxia?

"Wangshu..."

Su Yingxia wanted to say something.

"Yingxia, I know what you want to say, but have you thought about this? You are already a Martial Artist now, and it is only a matter of time before you advance to a higher Realm. When that time comes, will your Family still let you date freely?"

Shen Wangshu laid out a very realistic point.

Su Yingxia remained silent.

What she said was not false at all. She had already started to Cultivate, and she could clearly feel that the people in the Su Family were changing.

It seemed they had begun to look down on ordinary people, and the Su Family even styled themselves as a martial arts Family.

This shift in mentality might not have been noticed by the people of the Su Family, but it was the truth.

Su Yingxia herself hadn't changed, but those around her were changing, including Shen Wangshu.

It was as if ordinary people could never be worthy of a Martial Artist.

Ordinary people were destined to be nothing more than ants.

Once this concept took root, they were destined to always look down on ordinary people.

So, would the Su Family still let her date freely?

The answer was obvious; it was absolutely impossible.

To be honest, Su Yingxia had started to have some regrets, but having stepped onto the path of cultivation, she was destined to never be able to turn back.

This was being unable to control one's own destiny.

Qin Chuan finally raised his eyes and looked at Shen Wangshu, observing her with interest.

"What, is what I said wrong?"

Shen Wangshu held her head high. After the trip to Kyoto, her horizons and perspective had been completely opened up.

Although she couldn't Cultivate yet, Shen Wangshu felt that she would definitely have a chance to become a Martial Artist in the future!

"You yearn for the martial path and blindly belittle ordinary people."

Qin Chuan's tone carried a hint of mockery: "But when all is said and done, you are just an ordinary person."

These words were like ten thousand swords piercing her heart, causing Shen Wangshu's delicate body to tremble.

Witnessed the Peak of the martial path?

Witnessed the battle of the strongest?

But, so what?

At the end of the day, she, Shen Wangshu, was just an ordinary person.

These words hit home.

"Qin Chuan, you're being too much!" Yang Siyi frowned.

"No matter what, Wangshu is concerned about you. For the past month, she has been asking about you, but you vanished into thin air. Now that we've finally run into you, you say such hurtful things."

"Is that fun?"

Isn't this... double standards?

Qin Chuan didn't want to deal with these two women, so he ignored Yang Siyi's words and looked at Su Yingxia: "You have already stepped into the path of a Martial Artist?"

"Mm-hmm, I am a Martial Artist now, but I've just started, only at the 1st Realm." Su Yingxia nodded.

In fact, as long as one begins to Cultivate, they are at the 1st Realm.

This is the Realm of just stepping across the threshold.

Truly stepping into the martial path requires reaching the 4th Realm. After entering the Grandmaster stage of Qi refinement, one can control Qi, and that is what a true Martial Artist is.

"Keep it up; in the future, you can also reach the Peak of the martial path." Qin Chuan smiled.

He wasn't just saying that casually.

If he were willing, just by giving Su Yingxia a little push, what difficulty would there be in reaching the Peak of the martial path?

He could even produce a Medicinal Pill that allowed an ordinary person to possess powerful Cultivation Aptitude; helping a Martial Artist enter a high Realm was not difficult at all.

Qin Chuan couldn't create immortal cultivation Aptitude, but simply improving Aptitude for martial arts was really not difficult.

The reason he hadn't let his sister Cultivate was because he was still trying to find a way to change her Spiritual Root for immortal cultivation.

"Mm-hmm, thank you, I will work hard!" Su Yingxia smiled sweetly, as if she had eaten honey.

Shen Wangshu was a bit angry that Qin Chuan had ignored her, but she didn't continue the previous topic.

"Qin Chuan, tell us, what have you been doing this past month?"

"What could possibly make you disappear for over a month?"

Once this question came out, even Su Yingxia and Yang Siyi were staring at Qin Chuan, obviously curious about what he had been doing for the past month.

Calls wouldn't go through, and he couldn't be found; it was as if he had completely vanished.

Shen Wangshu had some connections, and her Family had even entrusted people to look for him, but they hadn't been able to find him.

"You want to know?"

Qin Chuan's face was as calm as water.

"Yes!" Shen Wangshu replied directly.

She just wanted to know if Qin Chuan had been wasting his time or hiding on purpose this past month.

Shen Wangshu just wanted to let Su Yingxia know that Qin Chuan was simply not worthy of her.

"Then... I will tell you what I have been doing for the past month."

The Aura on Qin Chuan changed abruptly; one could actually feel a trace of pressure emanating from him, making Shen Wangshu and the others feel their breathing become somewhat labored.

"I went to attend the Qin Family Annual Meeting and killed Huyan Jue."

"Afterward, I severely injured the descendants of the Xiao Family and challenged the Ancestor of the Xiao Family, but he did not come to accept the challenge."

"Later, I followed Xiao Xueqing to the Tomb of the Land Immortal. There, I killed quite a few island nation warriors, broke the Sword Qi of the Land Immortal, and then went into seclusion to Cultivate for a month."

"A month later, I emerged from seclusion, returned to the capital carrying the powerful Sword Qi from the Tomb of the Land Immortal, and killed Xiao Jinhe."

"This... is what I have been doing for the past month."
