188: Master eats fruit

On the other side.

The escaping group of four only dared to slow down after flying a hundred miles away from the Star Protection Hall.

However, the terrifying scene of Zhao Zhengming being obliterated still loomed over their hearts, leaving everyone with complex expressions.

"Father, what should we do now?" Xia Tian spoke up, breaking the silence. As the Emperor of the Xia Kingdom, the thought of staying in the Star River Ruins and having Chen Qingxuan potentially come knocking at any time... he wished he could take his grandmother, who was enjoying her retirement, and deliver her to Chen Qingxuan at the Star Protection Hall right now.

"..."

Xia Chong turned his head to look at his Senior Sister and Senior Brother.

Although they were fellow disciples, his strength was far inferior to theirs, and even far inferior to the slain Zhao Zhengming. What should be done now?

His word didn't carry much weight.

Meeting the expectant gazes of the father and son, Lin Xia frowned slightly. "Build the statues for him first. I will decide after I return and report to Revered Master."

"Senior Sister Lin, you must report the situation truthfully to Revered Master!" Xia Chong urged. "Perhaps we have all underestimated that kid's background. Whatever you do, don't let the old man get agitated."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Lin Xia didn't say much more and immediately set off to return to the Yan Domain;

This was going too far!

To actually say he wanted to do that in public... he was too arrogant.

She was so angry her chest hurt!

After the two left;

Xia Chong sighed softly, "Tian'er, go back and gather people to build the statues first. We only have seven days... we must build ten thousand statues."

"I understand."

Xia Tian nodded with a complicated expression.

To be honest, he was feeling a bit regretful now... if he had known, he would have just gone with the flow.

He thought that by relying on his father having an Immortal Revered Master and being able to invite a Senior Martial Uncle from the Yan Domain to oversee things, the Xia Kingdom could at least stand on equal footing with Chen Qingxuan and not be threatened;

He never expected one Senior Martial Uncle to be killed and another to almost be ravished... the Xia Kingdom had become so passive.

If he had known, he would have just sucked up to him.

On the other side.

After finishing his business with Li Erhe, Chen Qingxuan went to find Purple Kite.

After all, since he planned to rely on his loli Revered Master's support in the future, he certainly couldn't just use her and then show no appreciation. He had to make Purple Kite feel that he was worth helping.

So, upon seeing Purple Kite, Chen Qingxuan said solemnly, "Thank you, Revered Master, for your assistance. Only then could your disciple successfully resolve today's trouble."

Purple Kite's face was expressionless. After a long silence, she said, "You really like ravishing people?"

"Ah?" Chen Qingxuan looked up in shock, not reacting for a moment. "Why would Revered Master say such a thing?"

"Do you think I didn't hear you?"

"Oh, oh."

Chen Qingxuan realized what she meant;

Meeting Purple Kite's speechless gaze, he explained with a sheepish laugh, "Revered Master, you've misunderstood. Disciple was just trying to scare them, or rather, trying to show that I have the confidence to crush them. I just said it casually... I'm not the kind of person who likes to force myself on women. Revered Master can rest assured."

"I don't care what the reason is, don't let me hear such words again," Purple Kite said irritably.

"Fine, fine, fine. I'll keep it behind Revered Master's back from now on."

"Not even behind my back!"

Purple Kite grew anxious.

Meeting Chen Qingxuan's bewildered gaze, she took a deep breath and said, "I'm warning you, don't say such things anymore... not to anyone!"

Chen Qingxuan's expression shifted as he said tentatively, "Revered Master, are you being a bit too sensitive?"

"I..."

Purple Kite was so angry her delicate chest heaved;

Noticing her displeased gaze, Chen Qingxuan hurriedly said, "Of course, of course. As long as Revered Master doesn't like it, Disciple won't say it anymore."

Whew—

Purple Kite took a speechless breath.

Then, she changed the subject. "And just now, what was that about 'the God King strokes my head, and I receive longevity with my hair bound'... It's one thing to pretend to be a descendant of an Immortal, but now you even dare to associate yourself with the God King... How did you get so bold?"

"That... it was mainly because the atmosphere was right!" Chen Qingxuan scratched his head sheepishly and smiled. "Anyway, the God King doesn't know, so it's fine, right?"

"Fine?" Purple Kite gave a cold laugh and said solemnly, "Then you underestimate her too much. In the Three Thousand Divine Provinces, there is nothing she doesn't know."

"No way?"

Chen Qingxuan was shaken upon hearing this.

The next moment, he suddenly thought of something and said nervously, "Then Revered Master... would you say the God King investigates in real-time, or can she trace back what people have said in the past?"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean... if someone was disrespectful to the God King... does it mean that if the God King didn't show up on the spot, she didn't find out?"

"What are you trying to say?"

"Actually..."

Chen Qingxuan swallowed hard;

The next moment, he leaned in close to Purple Kite and lowered his voice cautiously, "Revered Master, I once jokingly said I'd ravish the God King. Since the God King didn't come for me, does that mean..."

Bang—

Before Chen Qingxuan could finish his sentence, Purple Kite kicked him.

"Ouch~ What are you doing?"

Chen Qingxuan stood up clutching his butt, looking completely bewildered.

"You...?"

At this moment, Purple Kite was so angry she wanted to curse.

But seeing Chen Qingxuan's bewildered expression, she could only swallow the scolding at the tip of her tongue and said instead, "If you want to die, don't drag me down with you. She'll come to settle accounts with you sooner or later."

"No, Revered Master... don't scare me!" Chen Qingxuan was stunned and hurriedly rushed over to ask, "Could it be that the God King can really trace back what people said in the past? Revered Master, are you scaring me? How could anyone reach such a level?"

"Now you know to be afraid?"

Purple Kite rolled her eyes.

Weren't you very loud when you said it... even about ravishing her?

Where's that capability now?

At this moment, Purple Kite really wanted to reveal her identity and see how scared this Rebellious Disciple in front of her would be.

But at the thought that after revealing her identity, the dignified God King would have been spoken of so flippantly, yet not only did she not kill the person... she even took him as a disciple;

This wouldn't fit her status.

It would be quite embarrassing!

Thinking of this, Purple Kite took a deep breath and said, "I'm telling you, I promised to keep you safe in the Three Thousand Divine Provinces, not for you to walk all over everyone. From now on, keep a low profile for me."

"Yes, yes."

Chen Qingxuan nodded repeatedly;

The next moment, he still leaned toward Purple Kite uneasily. "Revered Master, so you were just scaring me earlier, right? Actually, the God King doesn't have that much power. Since she hasn't come yet, it means I'm safe, right?"

"..."

Purple Kite didn't say anything;

Seeing Chen Qingxuan's guilty look, she decided to let him learn a lesson. "I wasn't scaring you. She will come to settle accounts with you sooner or later; it just depends on whether she has the time."

"No way?"

At this moment, Chen Qingxuan felt as if the sky had fallen.

"However," Purple Kite's tone shifted, "if I feel that you are still salvageable, perhaps I can use a treasure to help you escape the Karma on your body."

"Really?"

Chen Qingxuan was delighted.

But before he could be happy for two seconds, he heard Purple Kite add, "Unfortunately, right now, you make me feel like you're beyond saving."

"Uh...?"

Chen Qingxuan's smile froze.

It wasn't that he didn't understand Purple Kite's meaning; she thought he didn't act like a disciple should.

To be honest, before deciding to rely on her, he really hadn't intended to treat her as his Revered Master, but now the situation was different.

He wanted this Revered Master and disciple relationship... to last until the seas ran dry and the rocks crumbled!

"Revered Master, Disciple knows I haven't shown you proper filial piety yet. After all, the treasures I have might be worthless in Revered Master's eyes, but as the saying goes, it's the thought that counts!"

The next moment, Chen Qingxuan took out a fruit,

"Disciple wants to repay Revered Master so much, but my family background is meager. Fortunately, I have a rare spiritual fruit that can preserve youth and prolong life..."

The fruit is here
