Invincible cultivation strengthens: my son is a troublemaker-Chapter 102 The Murkiest and Clearest

"Courting death."

The old woman looked indifferent as she prepared to unleash her aura, ready to crush this ant who had done wrong and was unrepentant.

"Hmm?"

However, the next moment, she stopped.

Because she suddenly realized that this boy showed no trace of fear, his eyes calm, as if he had already disregarded life and death.

Looking at him this way, he indeed had some courage.

And someone unafraid in the face of death couldn’t possibly be a good-for-nothing, incapable of anything significant, right?

If not, then why would he do something so foolish as to provoke an Emperor?

Could it merely be out of impulsiveness?

She didn’t believe it.

Because a young person at the Heaven-reaching stage would not even dare to speak in front of her out of mere impulse, let alone would they dare to stand upright. They would directly kneel down!

She closely examined Qin Zi, and noticed a deeply hidden suspicion and vigilance in the young man’s eyes toward her.

"Could it be?!"

Suddenly, she thought of something.

Immediately, a secret divine sense enveloped Shui Qingrou, inspecting her thoroughly, and then... her eyes lit up.

"So that’s it!"

In almost an instant, she figured out the whole reason, then showed a content smile.

She withdrew her aura.

She spoke to Qin Zi, "Young man, you are quite impressive, no wonder you caught Qingrou’s eye."

"Ah?"

Qin Zi stood up from the ground, totally at a loss—what was the situation? Changing face this quickly?

Wasn’t she just about to kill him?

The old woman thought for a while and continued, "I can see, you and Qingrou are mutually affectionate, and your talent is quite good too. Why not come with me to the Northern Domain."

"Ah??"

Qin Zi was even more stunned, thinking the change in her attitude exceeded 180 degrees!

He looked at Qin Chuan.

But saw Qin Chuan smiling at him, looking relaxed, as if saying—it’s your choice.

Instantly, Qin Zi understood.

This old woman was not a bad person!!

However, even though she wasn’t a bad person, he couldn’t possibly go with the old woman, he had to go with his father.

So, he smiled awkwardly and said, "I offended you earlier, please forgive me, senior... However, I do not intend to go to the Northern Domain. I kindly ask you to take care of Junior Sister Qingrou, and I am infinitely grateful."

The old woman was slightly surprised.

This young man actually rejected her?

With her status, if she publicly accepted apprentices, countless geniuses and talents would break their heads fighting for such an opportunity.

And this Heaven-reaching stage level two young man actually resisted such temptation.

No doubt, she had to look at him in a new light.

She smiled and said, "Just now, I thought you were unworthy of Qingrou, but now I’ve changed my opinion... Since you are unwilling to come with me, I won’t force you."

"However, you must cultivate diligently. There is no shortage of prodigies in the Northern Domain, if Qingrou becomes enamored with a more outstanding young man, I won’t be able to help it."

"Rest assured, senior! When I visit the Northern Domain someday, all the prodigies there will bow their heads before me!"

Qin Zi said high-spiritedly.

"I hope so."

The old woman smiled, obviously not taking it seriously, but she also didn’t want to dampen this confident young man’s spirits.

After all, having confidence is good for young people.

"Qingrou, I have some personal matters to attend to, say your goodbyes."

The old woman said to Shui Qingrou.

After speaking, she vanished into thin air. It was unclear whether she was too fast to see or if it was a teleportation effect.

The scene fell silent for a moment.

Then Supreme Elder Zhao Fulong came over, with a wry smile on his face, saying, "Qingrou, cultivate well in the Northern Domain, do come back and visit when you can, the Seven Martial Sect will always be your home."

His heart was conflicted.

On one hand, he felt awkward because as a mentor himself, he was completely overshadowed by that grandmaster, crushed to nothing, to the point where he didn’t even dare feel jealous!

On the other hand, he felt lucky and proud, because he had managed to form a relationship with an Emperor in such a way.

From now on, the Seven Martial Sect would rise, and he would no longer have to care about anyone’s expressions. Even the Eastern Domain Yang Family could no longer treat him with arrogance—I am kin with an Emperor!

After the mentor and apprentice bid farewell, Qin Zi came over and pulled Shui Qingrou to a valley ahead.

The two went to whisper secretly.

After a long time, both came out with blushed faces, and Qin Zi’s right hand hidden in his sleeve was noticeably trembling...

Wow!

Soon after, the old woman returned.

She said to Shui Qingrou, "Let’s go."

After speaking, she nodded slightly to everyone present, and then, with a flash of white light around her, she and Shui Qingrou disappeared at the same time.

Everyone watched this moment, feeling a sense of loss.

Meanwhile, Qin Zi was a bit downcast. He came to Qin Chuan’s side and whispered, "Father, when are we going to the Northern Domain?"

He knew his father was going to the Eastern Domain this time.

Qin Chuan chuckled, teasing, "You yourself said that when you arrive in the Northern Domain, all its prodigies must bow. You’ve said the big words, and if you can’t do it, would you feel right going?"

"This..."

Qin Zi’s face turned red with embarrassment, feeling utterly ashamed, wasn’t he just showing off in front of someone he liked?

However, such boasting, if seen by his father, clearly felt like social death.

It was as if he was secretly watching a Japanese action film when his mother suddenly came in with fruit, and after a brief shock, retreated with an "I get it" mysterious smile, even gently closing the door...

Suffering!!

...

In the sky, two figures were flying.

They appeared to be standing still, but the scenery around them changed rapidly, as if stars were moving in the sky, incredibly fast!

A moment, thousands of miles!

It was Shui Qingrou and the old woman.

"Mas-, Master, why did your attitude change so much towards Senior Brother Qin Zi just now?"

Shui Qingrou asked cautiously.

For this new master, she still felt an unspeakable dread in her heart, a natural awe toward the strong.

"Haha, that boy has a good character, most importantly, he genuinely cares for you... I guess I admire him through loving you."

The old woman smiled gently.

"How do you know he’s genuine?" Shui Qingrou blushed, asking with anticipation.

Women, even if they know a man’s feelings, love to confirm it again and again, and feel happy after certifying it.

"Didn’t you notice? That boy was so arrogant before, saying those crude words, he was testing me."

The old woman laughed, "He suspected I had ulterior motives, wanted to use you, or might be harmful to you in the future. So, he tested me in this way."

"If I were a sinister person, I would have killed him at any moment. Doing so would also let you see my nature clearly and generate vigilance in your heart."

"This mentality of vigilance could potentially save your life at a critical moment."

"So... he was gambling with his life, and doing so was just to eliminate some potential dangers for you."

Upon hearing this, Shui Qingrou’s body trembled.

Then her eyes grew moist.

It turned out Senior Brother Qin Zi did so much for her...

"Qingrou."

At that moment, the old woman called out.

"Ah?"

Shui Qingrou raised her head.

The old woman said, "After hearing this, haven’t you developed any sense of vigilance?"

"Have you not thought that indeed, I might have wicked intentions, just deliberately not killing him to hide my evil thoughts?"

"Ah! No!" Shui Qingrou seemed utterly shocked and shook her head in bewilderment.

The old woman looked at her disciple seriously, noticing the extraordinary purity in her eyes, seemingly innocent and clueless.

Immediately, she smiled contentedly.

Indeed, she was a talent worth nurturing!

In this world, the clearest and the murkiest are just a fine line apart, but is there truly an absolutely clear person?

Impossible.

Such a person could not survive.
