Martial Arrogance Dragon Soul-Chapter 371 - 353: Make Plans Again

"Qin Qing, you have finally emerged! The four days are up, and so is your time to die!"

Xu Sihe flew towards him, aiming to strike Qin Qing with a swift palm.

The strength of a Divinity Transformation Realm powerhouse revealed itself at this moment, as the surrounding space seemed frozen in time. Qin Qing was completely locked within this area of several zhang, unable to move an inch.

So powerful!

This is the might of a Divinity Transformation Realm powerhouse.

In front of such a being, Qin Qing had absolutely no capacity to resist.

"How audacious!"

But at this moment, a cold shout erupted beside Qin Qing.

One could only see that the elder named Feng suddenly waved his hand.

A sphere of purple light instantly exploded, sending Xu Sihe flying backward.

It was only now that Xu Sihe’s gaze fiercely settled on the elder named Feng.

He had been solely focused on killing Qin Qing and hadn’t paid any attention to the presence of this elder walking ahead of Qin Qing; only now did he notice the attire of the elder, clearly that of a Tai’a Academy elder!

"Are you an elder from Tai’a Academy?"

Xu Sihe stood firm, staring at the elder named Feng in astonishment.

"Indeed, I am Feng Xuzhu from Tai’a Academy!" The elder named Feng looked coldly at Xu Sihe. "Head of the Xu family, what is the meaning of this?"

"So it is Elder Feng, I have long admired your reputation!" Xu Sihe bowed respectfully towards Elder Feng, then pointed at Qin Qing and said, "This man killed my wife. I’ve been waiting outside the Liu residence for four days, and today I finally got my chance to kill this man to avenge my wife!"

"He killed your wife?" Elder Feng glanced at Qin Qing, slightly surprised, then indifferently said, "Head of the Xu family, naturally I cannot stop you from seeking revenge for your wife, but this Qin Qing... is an Inner Sect Disciple of our Tai’a Academy! Here within Tianyong City, there isn’t anyone who would dare to kill an Inner Sect Disciple of our Tai’a Academy so brazenly!"

"What?"

Xu Sihe exclaimed in surprise.

"He is an Inner Sect Disciple of your Tai’a Academy?"

"Of course!" Feng Xuzhu nodded slightly, "Head of the Xu family, if there’s nothing else, I ask you to step aside. When you launched your sneak attack just now, I had already sent a message to the academy. I believe other elders from our academy will soon arrive, and should any danger arise, they are likely to take action... At that point, I would not want to provoke a conflict between Tai’a Academy and your Xu family!"

Xu Sihe nodded dumbly.

Make enemies with Tai’a Academy?

Such a notion was simply unthinkable.

Xu Sihe was very clear about his own limitations. Although the Xu family could be considered half an Ancient Family, in comparison to a truly powerful Ancient Family, there was no comparison at all.

Take The Liu Clan, for example.

In front of Liu Chaoxian, Xu Sihe wouldn’t dare to show any disrespect, because the disparity in strength between his clan and The Liu Clan was simply too great.

As for Tai’a Academy, its heritage and the number of powerhouses were even more terrifying than The Liu Clan...

And most importantly, within Tianyong City, all the powers would do anything to curry favour with Tai’a Academy in hopes of sending their own young talents to study within its walls.

Therefore, no one wanted to offend Tai’a Academy.

"So, Head of the Xu family, is there anything else?" Feng Xuzhu asked Xu Sihe again.

"Nothing more!" Xu Sihe took a deep breath.

Feng Xuzhu’s expression revealed no change as he nodded slightly and continued to walk forward.

And Xu Sihe could only watch as Qin Qing and his sister followed Elder Feng, disappearing into the distance down the road.

"Sihe!" A powerful member of the Xu Clan approached, an old man who seemed to be much older than Xu Sihe, with even more robust energy.

"In my opinion, let’s just drop it..." said the old man.

Xu Sihe sighed deeply.

"Who could have imagined, that in four days’ time, that boy would transform into an Inner Sect Disciple of Tai’a Academy?" The old man continued, "Besides, even though your wife has died, your children are free from future troubles. It’s not worth it to fall out with Tai’a Academy over your wife..."

Xu Sihe nodded.

Indeed, to speak of deep love for his wife was out of the question.

His marriage to his wife was merely arranged by their parents.

There were no deep feelings between the two.

Even though they later became husband and wife, lived together, and had children, their affection for each other had always been lukewarm.

It was only upon hearing that a young man from Qian Country had killed his wife that Xu Sihe felt more resentment and a loss of face.

And now...

Xu Sihe knew that Qin Qing was a disciple of Tai’a Academy.

So, it was impossible for him to recklessly kill Qin Qing just because of his wife’s death.

At least not in front of the elders of Tai’a Academy.

"If there’s a chance in the future, I’ll consider making a plan to eliminate this kid without leaving any traces..."

Xu Sihe silently said to himself.

...

After Qin Qing left the Liu residence.

Inside the Liu residence.

Liu Hongxue walked into her father Liu Chaoxian’s courtyard.

Liu Chaoxian was sitting by the lake.

His courtyard was large, with a small lake that had a mist above the water—it was Spiritual Energy visible to the naked eye.

Liu Chaoxian’s courtyard was equipped with a highly advanced Spirit Gathering Array; it was rich in Spiritual Energy and also cultivated various precious and rare treasures from heaven and earth.

Speaking of the lake alone, it was home to various rare fish species.

Liu Chaoxian sat by the lake fishing, with Liu Hongxue quietly standing by his side.

Suddenly, Liu Chaoxian lifted his fishing rod, and a silver-white, almost transparent fish was caught.

Silver Shuttle Fish.

This type of fish contained an abundance of Spiritual Energy and had a miraculous effect on healing wounds, even better than the Fifth Rank Elixir, Jade Dew Pill!

Of course, to Liu Chaoxian, what mattered most was that the taste of this fish was unparalleled.

Liu Hongxue quickly stepped forward, took the Silver Shuttle Fish off her father’s line, and placed it in a nearby bucket.

"Father. Thank you..." Liu Hongxue said.

"Thank for what?" Liu Chaoxian glanced at Liu Hongxue.

"You allowed Qin Qing to stay in the Liu residence for four days because..."

Liu Hongxue had not finished speaking when Liu Chaoxian interrupted her, "Enough. I don’t know what you’re talking about, but Hongxue, your father wants to remind you that you’ve been stuck at the eighth layer of the Golden Core Realm for a full two years."

"These past two years, you’ve scattered too much of your attention on other matters."

"What your father wants to say is that no matter what, power is the only guarantee of having a say."

"Yes! Your child understands!" Liu Hongxue nodded. "Father, in the coming time, I will stay within the clan and cultivate diligently..."

"Mm... Take these fish to the kitchen. For lunch today, we’ll have steamed Silver Shuttle Fish..." Liu Chaoxian said.

In another courtyard within the Liu residence.

"That barbarian named Qin Qing has become an Inner Sect Disciple of Tai’a Academy?"

Zheng Meng’er stood in front of Liu Baiying, her expression filled with disbelief.

"Yes. I also didn’t expect that he would be able to defeat Liu Zhenglu and obtain the spot of an Inner Sect Disciple at Tai’a Academy!" Liu Baiying said.

"This gives that slut Liu Hongxue something to brag about. Furthermore... now that Qin Qing has become an Inner Sect Disciple, he might also become a help to Liu Hongxue in the competition later this year..." Zheng Meng’er said with some concern.

"Mother. We can’t let that Liu Hongxue turn the tables. This Qin Qing, he must be gotten rid of!" Liu Baiying said.

"Mm... Let me think of a solution." Zheng Meng’er pondered and then rose up, "Got it. I’ll go inform your uncle right now, to find a way to expel Qin Qing from Tai’a Academy. Without the status of an Inner Sect Disciple from Tai’a Academy, he won’t be able to continue staying there, and Xu Sihe certainly won’t let him off."

"Great! Uncle is a vice president of Tai’a Academy. It should not be difficult to expel Qin Qing from Tai’a Academy. Besides... I will now go and inform Xu Sihe that Qin Qing will soon be expelled from Tai’a Academy!" Liu Baiying’s face showed a smug smile.
