120: The loyal dog I picked up has the demeanor of an emperor

"Qin Chengan?"

Jun Lingxiao led his people over at the sound, asking softly. He looked at Qiu Jinyao, then at Qin Chengan's retreating figure in the distance, and immediately understood what had happened.

The Ten Chiefs were not always peaceful. There was competition among Disciples, and rivalry between their territories. So, it was not uncommon for heirs of the Ten Chiefs to fight each other in Secret Realms like this.

"Mm."

"Do you have a grudge against him?"

Qiu Jinyao could have pursued him, but her peripheral vision caught Jun Lingxiao, and she instantly stopped herself, remaining dazed in place, waiting for him to approach.

Now, her sharp edge was reined in, a stark contrast to her previous demeanor, where she seemed ready to stomp on Qin Chengan's head and crush him.

To be fair, she looked like a little white rabbit, truly giving off a pitiable aura.

"No grudge, but he seems to know Fang Sheng. Getting rid of him along the way wouldn't hurt."

"The Qin Family's Saint Blood is useless to me, but I am quite interested in that Blood Pact Divine Weapon."

He was still using an ordinary iron sword. It wasn't that he didn't have Divine Weapons, but he felt that those items seemed to restrict him. In his hands, an iron sword forged from spirit iron was no different from a so-called Divine Weapon.

As he spoke, Jun Lingxiao glanced back and saw the Qiu Family people standing in a corner. He turned to Qiu Jinyao and teased:

"They're quite afraid of you."

"Befriending some fellow clan Disciples would be good for you too."

The two conversed with mutual respect.

However, Jun Lingxiao wasn't blind. He felt that Qiu Jinyao was transforming into a BOSS. He had initially thought he'd picked up a little beggar who, after being raised, would become a loyal dog. That much was normal, but then things started to change.

It was as if she was the ruthless, decisive big BOSS.

Jun Lingxiao was gently guiding her, but Qiu Jinyao didn't listen to a single word.

She also turned her head to look in the direction of the Qiu Family group. Although she couldn't see, it actually worked out perfectly.

She didn't want to look at or bother with insignificant people.

"They're all just stepping stones. There's no need to befriend them."

Alright.

As soon as she said that, Jun Lingxiao knew he had spoken in vain.

She was clearly a blind, weak, and helpless girl, yet her words carried a sense of invincibility under the heavens.

"My loyal dog has the potential of a Great Emperor?"

Jun Lingxiao thought with interest. Then, Ling Tian came up at this moment and mysteriously whispered to Jun Lingxiao:

"Big Brother, that Qin kid's direction looks a bit strange. He probably has some Opportunity."

"Let's follow him and then secretly snatch it!"

While speaking, Ling Tian also told Jun Lingxiao about his grievances and grudges with Qin Chengan.

In several Reincarnations, Ling Tian had tried to befriend Qin Chengan, thinking that an enemy's enemy was his friend, but this person was too arrogant and simply looked down on Ling Tian.

Qin Chengan was originally someone Jun Lingxiao could easily crush, but he had somehow obtained some Heaven-Defying Legacy, directly ascending to greatness.

In this Secret Realm, the only one who could contend with Jun Lingxiao was Qin Chengan after he obtained his Legacy. That's why Ling Tian had said that Qin Chengan was barely worthy of standing alongside Jun Lingxiao when he first saw him.

Now, he was Jun Lingxiao's loyal lackey. If he really followed Qin Chengan and found some Opportunity, even if he couldn't partake himself, he could still earn Jun Lingxiao's favor!

"Opportunity?"

Jun Lingxiao scoffed upon hearing this, then shook his head.

"I never even put Qin Chengan in my eyes. I disdain to take his Opportunity."

"I am already invincible. Do I still need to seize others' Opportunities?"

If anyone else had said this, it would indeed sound arrogant, but coming from Jun Lingxiao, an aura of invincibility, looking down upon the world, washed over them, making Ling Tian reflect on whether his own perspective was too narrow.

This was indeed true. The Jun Family had countless powerful individuals. Why would they specifically seek out Legacy Opportunities that weren't suitable for them?

As soon as the time was right, even Great Emperors and Heavenly Emperors would rush to present Jun Lingxiao with Opportunities and Legacies. Ignoring what was available at home to pursue such trash was putting the cart before the horse.

This was the fundamental difference between the two.

Ling Tian's mindset was 'don't refuse what's free,' like a miser, stuffing everything good or bad into his bag.

Jun Lingxiao's mindset, however, was: 'What use are trashy things?'

Comparing the two, the difference was immediately clear.

"You're right. So, Big Brother, what now?"

Ling Tian's eyes lit up as he thought, now feeling even more strongly that following Jun Lingxiao meant he would have good things to eat!

It's settled!

"Now..." Jun Lingxiao said, glancing behind him. Although Jun Hongxuan and Chu Gaodan, the leaders, felt nothing about this underground palace, the Disciples behind them were already bursting with curiosity.

"Disperse for now. We'll meet back here later and then go prepare for the hunt of exotic beasts."

This underground palace could only be considered a minor interlude. In truth, the most important part of this Secret Realm was hunting exotic beasts and seizing their tokens.

Whatever could be found here certainly wouldn't be as good as the special rewards from the Secret Realm's owner.

Not only did Jun Lingxiao think this, but people from other Families also thought the same, so everyone's actions were very swift.

"Hooray! Long live the Saint!"

"Let's go, let's go! I just saw a place that definitely has good stuff!"

"Your Highness, this..."

The Jun Family Disciples behind them scattered, while Jun Shun came over with Jun Lingxiao's iron sword, his eyes questioning.

However, Jun Lingxiao did not reach out, merely glancing at it indifferently:

"You carry it. It will be good for you."

"If you can gain some insight, then this will be your greatest Opportunity in this Secret Realm."

At these words, Jun Shun's expression changed, but he still forced himself to thank him calmly.

And Jun Hongxuan couldn't sit still either, stepping forward and pointing at himself: "What about me? Can I also try to comprehend it?"

Seeing Jun Lingxiao nod, the two rushed off into the distance like children who had received a new toy. Both of them could be said to have received the Saint's Legacy. Even though this Saint was younger than them, no one would refuse such an Opportunity.

Although the Mortal Sword was obtained through the System's sign-in, it was not unchangeable.

The System was dead, but people were alive. The Mortal Sword in his hand was already completely different from what it once was, arguably two different things. Jun Lingxiao had his own insights into the Mortal Sword; this was his Mortal Sword.

Afterward, Qiu Jinyao also left with her Disciples. Her current status wasn't solely due to her strength; she had entered this Secret Realm with the Qiu Family's upper-echelon objectives.

Ling Tian had also long since snuck off, following Qin Chengan from behind. He felt relieved, but his hands were still itching. It would be even better if he could seize some treasure in the process.

Jun Lingxiao pretended not to see him.

"I've never seen anyone in a high position like you."

After everyone left, Chu Gaodan also dispersed the Chu Family People, but he himself stayed behind.

He entered the Secret Realm not for treasures, nor for experience, but purely for Jun Lingxiao. Now, he finally had a private space to talk.

"What kind of person am I?"

Jun Lingxiao retorted.

As he spoke, he tried to get his convenient little sister to let go. She was clinging to him like an ornament, not speaking, just holding on.

But ultimately, he failed.

Now, he had one hanging on his neck, one hanging on his hand, and the two little ones even started glaring at each other, as if neither would yield.

"What kind?"

This question truly stumped Chu Gaodan. He leaned against the nearby wall, pondering for a long time, but still couldn't articulate the feeling.

"Hiss~ I can't quite put my finger on it, but I just feel that you're very special."

"I've encountered many people from the Ten Heads Family, countless Saints and Saintesses. Some are extremely majestic, with Disciples beneath them not daring to speak out; others are refined and amiable, surrounded by Disciples."

"I've seen many Jun Family Disciples, but I've truly never seen them running and shouting 'Long live the Saint!' like this."

"Is Your Highness exceptionally good to his Family members?"

After much circumlocution, Chu Gaodan finally asked the question on his mind. All his detours were to lead to this question.

"Not exceptionally good. Everyone for me, and I for everyone. That's all."

"The Jun Family is a Saint. Many people work hard for me, and I must respond to them. This is how I was educated."

"Isn't the Chu Family the same?"

"The Chu Family..." Chu Gaodan listened, pondered for a moment, then smiled frankly and nodded in agreement: "Indeed."

"Countless generations of the Chu Family have strived for the two words 'pure blood.' Or rather, my Chu Family is even more extreme than yours: everyone for pure blood, and pure blood for everyone. Neither can be missing."

"So, Your Highness, when will you return to the Chu Family with me?"
