Chapter 53: Chapter 53 As Martial Cultivators, We Contend with Heaven for Our Fate

Qin Qing’s gaze also turned cold.

He knew that Shangguan Feixing had no intention of killing him.

But he really disliked Shangguan Feixing’s look, as well as the tone of his speech.

It was exactly like when Qin Qing first met Shangguan Xuan.

Perhaps all the scions of the grand aristocratic families in the imperial city were this arrogant?

"This lady... Is she the number one female disciple of the West Courtyard of the Great Qian Martial Institute, Jiang Ruorong?" Shangguan Feixing’s gaze fell on Jiang Ruorong.

"Yes," Jiang Ruorong responded indifferently, her expression as cold as eternal ice, seemingly unwilling to give anyone a chance to get close.

"I’ve long heard that Miss Jiang is an icy beauty. Seeing you today, your reputation is indeed well-deserved!" Shangguan Feixing said with a smile, nodding as if admiring a piece of art. He then continued, "Miss Jiang, I wonder if you could honour me with the opportunity to get to know each other? I think today is just right, and under the night sky this evening, you and I could share a beautiful time over fine wine..."

However, before Shangguan Feixing could finish speaking, Jiang Ruorong coldly interrupted, "Sorry, I’m not interested!"

"Not interested?" Shangguan Feixing’s smile turned slightly cold, "Miss Jiang, you’re not interested in me, but perhaps you’re interested in your junior brother here? Then, if I were to kill your little junior brother in the Secret Realm, would you still have an interest in him?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ruorong’s expression became even colder, the chill in her eyes almost tangible.

"If you dare kill my junior brother, I will make sure the entire Shangguan Clan, including you, all pay with your lives for my junior brother!" Jiang Ruorong said coldly.

"Senior sister, there’s no need to be angry. Whether he can kill me or not isn’t up to him!" said Qin Qing.

"Heh," Shangguan Feixing sneered, "Killing you is as easy as slaughtering chickens and dogs!"

"Haha... Brother Shangguan, how can you slaughter chickens and dogs without me?"

Another voice came through.

It was a tall young man, almost eight feet in height.

He was dressed in a white robe, with a handsome and valiant appearance, carrying a sword on his back, and radiating a sharp aura.

Following the young man was a woman.

This woman was also quite tall, with a full figure, sharp-spirited eyes and brows, and an extraordinary demeanor and appearance.

These two were the siblings of the Guan Family, Guan Changtian and Guan Yun.

Guan Changtian walked over, his gaze never once falling on Qin Qing.

It was as if Qin Qing was not even worth a second glance from him.

His sister Guan Yun did the same, her demeanor proud, as if she looked down on everyone.

After Shangguan Feixing and Guan Yun arrived, many other young martial cultivators participating in the assessment approached as well.

"Brother Shangguan, just give the word on anything you need after we enter the Wind Spirit Valley Secret Realm!"

"Teacher Brother Guan, if there’s any need to make use of us, you need only speak..."

These individuals were all trying to curry favor with Shangguan Feixing and the siblings Guan Changtian and Guan Yun.

Of course, these people were taking a stand against Qin Qing.

In their eyes, although Qin Qing had demonstrated an unprecedented talent, even one that could be called unmatched in the world,

But!

Talent was merely talent.

Any genius, before they rise, is just a genius and nothing more.

And this genius, Qin Qing, had offended both the Shangguan Clan and the Guan Family.

Whether it was the Shangguan Clan or the Guan Clan, in Luochuan, the imperial city, they were powerful forces that ordinary people could not provoke.

Moreover, a few people with insider information knew that the Guan Family, on this occasion, had joined forces with the Shangguan Clan against Qin Qing, not merely because of a conflict between Qin Qing and the Guan Family.

A deeper reason, it is said, was that Qin Qing had offended a certain powerful figure within the royal palace.

This figure was furious and hinted to the Guan Family that, by all means, they must completely eliminate Qin Qing!

Therefore, the Guan Family dispatched Guan Changtian and Guan Yun, the talented siblings, at the same time specifically to ensure nothing went wrong.

So, in the eyes of these people, even if Qin Qing had exceptional talent and was monstrously gifted, entering the Wind Spirit Valley Secret Realm this time meant certain death!

Thus... when choosing between cultivating a relationship with a genius and ingratiating themselves to major families like the Guan and Shangguan Clans, these people naturally preferred the latter!

At the same time, on the high platform, Shangguan Jian announced once more:

"As Shangguan Feixing, Guan Changtian, Guan Yun, and others have already passed the strength and talent assessments, they will be granted admission to the Martial Institute upon passing the Wind Spirit Valley assessment!"

"For this Wind Spirit Valley Secret Realm assessment, everyone must survive within for more than three days. Additionally, they must obtain at least ten Wind Spirit Beads! Only by satisfying both conditions will they be considered to have passed the assessment!"

"To ensure absolute fairness and impartiality in this assessment, after deliberation, we will deploy a Law Enforcement Team to enter the realm as well!"

As Shangguan Jian’s voice faded, a Law Enforcement Team stepped into everyone’s view.

"Lin Cang, Zuo Yuanen, Lu Dong, Fu Yuanshen..." 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Jiang Ruorong’s tone grew even colder, "These members of the Law Enforcement Team are specifically handpicked by them, all targeting you, Qin Qing... Talking about fairness? Hah, the utmost shamelessness!"

"Junior brother, why not... just give up! It doesn’t matter if you don’t enter the Great Qian Martial Institute. From now on, we can just follow Master’s cultivation!" Jiang Ruorong then spoke to Qin Qing.

Qin Qing shook his head, his gaze exceptionally firm.

"My journey to the Great Qian Martial Institute was fraught with hardship, and I fought my way through numerous obstacles precisely to join the Martial Institute!"

"Joining the Great Qian Martial Institute is not just for myself but also for my sister Shuang’er. I promised Master that by joining the Martial Institute, I would ask for Master’s help to cure my sister’s illness. Furthermore, there are my second uncle, seventh uncle, aunt, and others; they left the Qin Residence to follow me to Luochuan, I can’t let them down!"

"Moreover, my parents... to find them sooner, to uncover clues about them, I must establish a firm foothold in the Great Qian Martial Institute!"

Qin Qing took a deep breath, joining the Great Qian Martial Institute had become a goal he would not back down from.

"Besides!"

Qin Qing’s voice rang out more resoundingly, and his eyes shimmered with a sharp glint: "As Martial Cultivators, we vie with the heavens for our fate. If we aren’t even afraid of destiny itself, why would we fear mere obstructions in our path?"

"They want to kill me? Should I show fear and hesitate? Should I cower and evade? A Martial Cultivator who doesn’t dare compete with others for life, how can he compete with the heavens for fate?"

"They want to kill me, then I’ll kill them. Who lives and who dies, who knows until the very end?"

Qin Qing’s words left Jiang Ruorong taken aback.

Even Bai Qiuhe, standing to the side, turned his head, looking at Qin Qing in surprise.

"Good! What a sentiment to compete with others for life, to vie with the heavens for fate!"

"Well said."

"Worthy of being my disciple, Bai Qiuhe!"

"That’s right, Master supports you! If anyone dares to kill you, then you should kill them!"

"We Martial Cultivators must possess the determination to be indomitable, to compete with the heavens for fate!"

Bai Qiuhe walked over.

"Buzz, buzz..."

At that moment, the space began to fluctuate violently.

"The Wind Spirit Valley Secret Realm is about to open, all those participating in the assessment, enter in an orderly fashion!" Shangguan Jian’s voice beckoned.

"Be careful!"

Compared with the boldness of just moments ago, Qin Qing’s advice this time, just three words, was much gentler but contained all his concern within them.

Qin Qing nodded firmly, then looked back at Bai Qiuhe, Jiang Ruorong, and also Shuang’er and the third uncle who stood further away. Immediately afterward, he stepped forward, entering the Wind Spirit Valley Secret Realm...
