The Sect Leader Has Taken in a New Female Disciple-Chapter 96 - 84: No, how did I end up trafficking humans? (6k)_2

Chapter 96: Chapter 84: No, how did I end up trafficking humans? (6k)_2

Moreover, with the Eight Trigrams Disc provided by the master, everyone no longer needed to exert effort in Sword Flight, they could just take this convenient ride.

Zhou Qing watched as his master, Mo Xingjian, sat alone in the front, holding that letter and reading it over and over again, occasionally revealing a warm smile, which filled Zhou Qing’s heart with warmth.

In the eyes of their master, the four of them were the closest people. Although they usually bickered and teased each other, when faced with danger, their master would unhesitatingly risk his life to protect each one of them.

Zhou Qing turned his head and looked at his third senior brother, Yan, who was conversing quietly with seven True Disciples about something.

"Senior Brother Zhou!"

At that moment, Lu Yaoyao’s voice suddenly rang out, and she appeared, her face beaming with a bright smile.

"What’s wrong?" Zhou Qing asked.

Lu Yaoyao sat down beside him, hesitated briefly, and then said, "When we encountered danger in Ghost City, I saw you pull out a rusted Broken Sword. Can I... have a look at it?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qing’s heart skipped a beat, and he quickly said, "Oh, that? No need to look at it, it’s just a broken sword I picked up randomly."

"I know, I just want to touch it, please!" Lu Yaoyao pleaded earnestly.

Zhou Qing looked at her pitiful expression and couldn’t understand why she insisted on seeing Tetanus.

Logically, with her knowledge, she shouldn’t recognize this sword. Perhaps the entire Taiqing Sect wouldn’t recognize it.

It should just be plain curiosity. After all, there’s not much else to do here and they were bored.

So be it; since the sword would be frequently taken out in the future, letting her see it wouldn’t hurt. It could also help him observe everyone’s reactions, especially the master’s.

Subsequently, Zhou Qing took out Tetanus.

"Be careful!" Zhou Qing reminded her. Just in case, he had wrapped the broken edge with cloth the day before.

When Lu Yaoyao saw the Broken Sword, she inexplicably felt a wave of sorrow in her heart.

She reached out and gently stroked the sword.

"It’s a good sword!" After a long while, Lu Yaoyao exhaled softly and said.

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "You’re too flattering."

"Hey, Fourth Brother, where did you find such a broken sword? It’s too shabby, isn’t it?"

At this moment, Yan Xiaohu approached and commented with a teasing smile.

He reached out to take the Broken Sword, but Zhou Qing quickly put it away.

"The quality of a weapon lies in the person using it. Don’t underestimate this broken sword; it might yield unexpected results in my hands. When power reaches its peak, even a speck of dust can fill the sea, a blade of grass can cleave the sun, moon, and stars!"

Hearing Zhou Qing’s words, Yan Xiaohu was unimpressed. However, Mo Xingjian, who was controlling the Eight Trigrams Disc in the front, surprisingly turned his head to look at Zhou Qing.

[Heart Mirror Points +9]

Immediately, the original note above his head changed from "a somewhat intelligent disciple" to "a disciple with good comprehension."

"I didn’t expect you to have such insight, impressive!" Mo Xingjian suddenly praised Zhou Qing.

Then he glanced at the rusty Broken Sword and said, "Zhou Qing is right, a weapon is just an external tool, its value lies not in its appearance or quality, but in the meaning and value imparted by the person using it."

"A seemingly ordinary or even broken sword can shine like the sun in the hands of a brave and fearless person; whereas a magnificent Divine Weapon, in the hands of a coward, is nothing more than a decoration."

"True power comes from our inner faith, courage, and perseverance. In this regard, Fourth Brother’s comprehension is stronger than yours!"

Hearing Mo Xingjian’s praise, Zhou Qing felt embarrassed.

Actually, master, you’re overthinking it. This is really a Divine Weapon!

I don’t have such high enlightenment.

Lu Yaoyao looked at Zhou Qing again, her eyes filled with joy.

Yan Xiaohu pouted and turned to whisper with others.

Mo Xingjian shook his head helplessly and looked at Zhou Qing again, filled with satisfaction.

This time, the child had brought him many surprises.

"Master, these five corpses..."

Zhou Qing quickly changed the subject, his eyes falling on the corpses of the men in black thrown aside, he couldn’t help but ask.

Mo Xingjian shook his head slightly and said in a solemn voice, "Never seen them before, they seem to be people secretly nurtured by the Cangyan Daoist Palace, used to handle shady matters. Even if you took them to Sikong Yan, it would be hard to confront him."

Then, his tone softened slightly, "Don’t worry, although we can’t completely reveal our hand at the moment, we already know who ambushed our Taiqing Sect at Cyan Ox Ridge. We need to investigate the other factions clearly to avoid leaving the Taiqing Sect isolated."

Zhou Qing nodded with a worried expression, understanding the situation.

These matters were beyond his consideration, and the elders had their decisions to make.

Time passed bit by bit, and this time, it only took everyone five days to return to the sect.

As the master predicted, the Cangyan Daoist Palace should indeed stop sending people to assassinate Zhou Qing.

After losing so many people, no one would waste energy on a small pawn. Moreover, who could guarantee that there weren’t other traps waiting for them around this pawn?

Unexpectedly, upon arrival at the mountain gate, they saw Li Daoxuan and He Han from Divine Peak, standing there with iron faces like two door gods.
