Day before. The Condolization Roll Association.
Duan tianlang sat by the window, enjoying his quiet time. Sip the tea on the table, then grab the paper containing the design of the ship in front of him.
For quite a while he looked at the design, and finally he sighed.
"Tok Tok" There was a knock on the door.
"Master, it's me." Then followed by the voice of the man who was greeting.
"Come in." The old man replied calmly, then the door opened, Zhou weiqing and his son Weisi entered the room. Seeing their teacher sitting quietly, they saluted.
"Masters. Why are you calling us?"
Duan tianlang simply closed his eyes. He sipped his tea again, then stood up.
"I'm going to go. From now on, the association will be handed over to you."
"What!!" Weiqing and Weisi's eyes grew bigger.
"What do you mean master?" Ask them simultaneously.
Duan tianlang sighed. Then turn their backs, walk towards the window.
"Piang keeps changing the night, time goes on and age continues to grow. But the desire to study science must not stop. Weiqing, I am old. But this old man had found a new way of life to start learning it. I'll be gone for some time. I've seen enough of you grow up to this point. It's time I left you. I hope you can keep this association in my place."
Weiqing was speechless, his eyes welled up. Same with Weisi. That young boy, seeing him made Duan tianlang smile gently. He also rubbed the boy's head.
"Weisi, I've seen you grow from a baby figure until now. Your nature is the same as your father's. You're a good kid, talented and have a broad mindset. I hope you find a purpose that can make you try to reach it." Grandfather's smile, Weisi to the point of not holding back his cries. He hugged Grandpa tightly.
Duan tianlang simply rubbed his back. This child is considered to be his own grandson. And that was his own happiness. Never imagined that he would have grandchildren, have family members.
However, something was troubling his mind. Weisi, he's almost 20. It's a few years different from that kid. However, obviously, their knowledge was too far apart.
He already considers himself a genius. Or his genius teacher, even praising Weiqing and Weisi was geniuses. Among them, there were people far from his expectations.
Duan tianlang also let go of the child. He walked out. Of course he'll go. But who would have thought. His best friend also came.
Long Siya's. His childhood friends were the same age. And they were the same teachers of the father and son. It was just that, the difference was, this man taught about cultivation, fighting and others. While he, only taught the profession of making condensation rolls.
"Really, you're leaving?" Asked the old man with his hands crossed on his chest. He leaned against the wall in a relaxed manner.
"Yes." Yeah." Duan tianlang replied slowly.
"Will it be long?" Ask again .
Duan tianlang was silent for a moment. He just stroked his beard.
"If my business is done. I'll be back."
"Huhah.... It's true that you're......" Long Siya simply shook his head hearing it. Duan tianlang also smiled, he walked away. The smile on Long Siya's face slowly dissipated. There was only a sad look on his face watching his best friend leave. Usually they will be together to go on an adventure. But now, they are not young anymore. He thought, they would also spend their retirement time in this stronghold. As it turned out, the old man still had the urge to look for another.
Haaa.... Anyway, he couldn't stop it. Long Siya just silently watched his best friend leave.
'If life is still long, we may meet again according to fate.' Their minds are together in the heart.
Suddenly, Weiqing and Weisi came out. They immediately kowtowed and performed Kowtow three times.
"Thank you for your guidance during this master!" Weiqing and Weisi said simultaneously.
They probably would not believe it, the master they had always respected even had to kneel. It would definitely not be expected that his master was kneeling to a person they never expected.
Qin Yan was even surprised to see the actions of this old geezer who was kneeling one foot on him.
"Hey hey, what are you doing? You are a legend, you have a disciple who is also a legend. Are you going to lower your self-esteem just for young people like me?" Qin Yan instantly helped the old man stand up.
"Don't do this again. Otherwise, what face would I give to Weisi and the old man."
"Hehehe.... It doesn't matter if I'm a legend or not. The fact is I'm learning about you now. So it's only natural that I do it." The old man just laughed with a series of beaming faces.
Qin Yan sighed.
"Huh, I don't know what you're planning to do when you follow me. But, it is also free that we keep our own knowledge. I will not stay in this world for long either. I hope you didn't abuse it. And also, I can leave this to you so that later you can find the right generation to inherit it."
Duan tianlang was instantly stunned by Qin Yan's words. Whatisthis? This word..... Said by a young man? It was like hearing an old man. Isn't the road long? Why talk like that like people want to die. For some reason, he felt that this child was much older than him. The knowledge he had was far more extensive than he had imagined.
It was true that he had hidden intentions when following this child. Just to steal the perfect design from the ship that he will create later. He even lowered his self-esteem now. He thought this kid would make it harder. Who would have thought, it was awaited. Will he after this do something sneaky? Betraying the trust of this child?
No-no. This is not his true nature. Duan tianlang also realized, a legend did something like this to a boy. It's so embarrassing. He might be embarrassed if his student and his best friend saw him kneeling in front of a boy. But he thought, they would be more embarrassed if they saw him do something inappropriate like betray his own promise. It's taboo if he does.
It was decided, he would follow this child wholeheartedly. But..... Something was troubling his mind.
"Qin Yan, are you really a boy? You sure we're not the same age?" Ask the old man with certainty.
"Of course not." Qin Yan replied loudly.
"Our money is far, far away. And this experience is hindered by a very thick wall."
Duan tianlang was silent. Was this child talking about him being younger than her or him being much older than her?
The words were quite easy to understand, but Duan tianlang was difficult to digest.
His heart was filled with questions, but he could not find any answers.
The day continues as usual. There is nothing more special.
Qin Yan obtained the information from their companion teacher, Lu xian. The competition will start 1 week later. This provides an opportunity for the participants to prepare themselves before the fight begins. Look, look, this time it's different from the old rules. The new round is about to begin. The tournament that started from a misunderstanding is now running into a much more thrilling round.
The first day, Qin Yan spent sleeping all day. After giving his design to Duan tianlang to research, Qin Yan did not have any more time to do what. Actually that day was a Forging competition. Qin Yan happily followed after him. But, looking at Lin fin's spirit, Qin Yan so could not bear to steal the elders' attention, and made Lin Fin's chance as a famous blacksmith so disappear.
So, he decided to teach Lin Fin some forging techniques.
Later that night, Qin Yan returned to the underground tournament. There, Tang Xinglian began to become famous again.
"Fight on. Number Three is back against the goddess of fire, Tang Xinglian!!"
"This time, I don't lose to you anymore!!" Say the girl hatefully. He stepped forward and pulled out all the moves he had.
But in the end, the girl lost again against Qin Yan. Twice won against participants who have won as many as 30 fights in a row participated in two battles. Making the pseudonym of the legend even more famous. Qin Yan was increasingly the center of attention for other famous participants.
The second day, Bi Li, the associate president of the Alchemist field came to visit to meet Xiang Xiang. But he accidentally saw Qin Yan and Tang Liu fighting just over the matter of cooking. The situation becomes more complicated coupled with the behavior of other friends who are so excited.
Tonight as usual, Qin Yan will return to the underground tournament. This time he was up against a former tournament participant from the Nerta kingdom. Who else if not Cu he and Nea Naltangan. They are quite famous here. Won 28 fights and lost 3 in 31 fights 2 vs 2. But, they were also heavily defeated when fighting Qin Yan.
Furthermore, he was also fighting Chen Yue. The girl, won 10 fights and lost 5 in 15 fights. But, when fighting with Qin Yan, he took out all the abilities he had. Even to the point of sacrificing life. He managed to make his opponent who had won from him so back to shrink. But in the end he also lost to Qin Yan.
The third day, Weisi came and invited Qin Yan and his friends to enjoy the hot spring bath. It seemed like he was a good idea, and Qin Yan happily agreed. He had almost seen the room where Duan Tianlang worked, otherwise, he did not know what to wear when Weisi saw his master working under him.
In the bathhouse too, he saw many people he knew. Such as Xingyun, Xuan ziwei, Dai Yueheng, Gu Yimbing, Zhang lizian and others. And it was there that Zhou Weisi introduced his first half-brother. Zhou Yuzhen's. The child was the same age as Qin Yan, yet the man was extremely haughty and did not consider Qin Yan. In fact, Qin Yan is considered an enemy that he must defeat. The man's eyes displayed an overwhelming sense of envy and arrogance. To think that Qin Yan of lowly human descent could possess such power was a coincidence. Qin Yan had even nearly punched hard on the face of this child. If it wasn't for Weisi stopping him, it was likely that Zhongtian kingdom was again startled by the chaos he was in.
Due to the very opposite nature of Weisi, Qin Yan did not approach him or befriend him. Making friends with such a person is like finding a place to test your patience.
Later that night, Qiu er's third massage was resumed. This time, the girl could not hold back her passion anymore because Qin yan's massage was too satisfying. If not for Qin Yan making her faint forcefully, it could be that the girl was a spinster.
More than Qin Yan had expected, the girl's bruises quickly healed within these 10 days. At the fourth meeting, it was likely that Qin Yan would lead this girl to use the Jade dragon staff that would overcome her divine body.
The next day continued as usual. Qin Yan's reputation in the underground tournament was increasing. He has won more than 50 fights. And soon it will enter into a fight between the top guys. This means against participants who have also won 50 fights.
Until finally, the day before the tournament entered the elimination round.
Later that night, Qin Yan went back to meet Qiu er again. This time will probably be the last time for them to come.
Qin Yan sat behind the girl. While Qiu er had already started to absorb the energy from the dragon jade stick that he gave.
Aura Qiu er started to come out, a light enveloping the girl's body.
"Ukh...." Suddenly the look on Qiu er's face looked troubled. Qin Yan began to check, it turned out to be true. Qiu er's divine body was more domineering than the girl's soul.
"Ugh.." - UH...." Not long after, Qiu er started screaming in pain. This obviously made Qin Yan worried. But, as his guard, he already knew what to do.
"Hup!" Qin Yan directly touched the back of the girl using his palm. He poured his mental energy into the girl. Not long after, Qiu er started to calm down.
A few moments later, the girl screamed again. His body instantly heated up, then became cold, extremely cold. Even froze Qin Yan's palm.
This made Qin Yan frown. He added his mental energy.
"Hold Qiu er, get everything done." Qin Yan whispered softly to the girl. Qiu er who was closing his eyes with a sick expression finally showed his determination. He began to suck the energy of the wand until it ran out. After which, his body trembled instantly. Qin Yan was overwhelmed by all that. It turned out that this girl's body had reached this stage, a stage where it was very difficult to control it. If from the very beginning Qiu er underwent a demonic transformation like Tang Liu, it was likely that he could control his strength. Unfortunately, until now, the negative aura had always been silent and lingering in this girl's body.
The process went on for quite a while, until Qin Yan's nose also started nosebleeds. But he persisted so that Qiu er managed to overcome the negative aura in his body.
"Well!" Suddenly Qin Yan opened his eyes, Qiu er's body emitted a kind of spirit black smoke. The spirit had red eyes, and it looked at Qin Yan sharply.
'What! Even Qiu er's divine body already had its own consciousness?' Qin Yan so retreated cautiously, but the figure of the creature was unwilling to let go just like that. He broke off from Qiu er's body. Go ahead and attack Qin Yan.
"Sing. sing. sing." The fight happened. The figure let out a sharp finger. Qin Yan had always repelled him with the knife he had.
"Slash" In the end Qin Yan managed to slash the figure. Qin Yan sighed, the figure split into two and turned into smoke. But not long after that figure was formed again.
"What! Goddamnit!!" The Curse of Qin Yan. Turns out this figure is very annoying. The figure attacked him again.
Qin Yan then took out his wind element. Then he let out the element of fire, but suddenly Neidan's voice stopped him.
"Don't kill him. That negative soul was the soul of the girl as well. You could say, it was Qiu er's other side."
'What. Time yes Qiu er wants to attack me.' Qin Yan asked confusedly. But Neidan no longer answered.
"Damn." Qin Yan could only curse again. How to defeat the creature without killing it.
"Only that girl can do it." Said Neidan again.
"I get it, so all I have to do is buy time, yeah."
"That's right, if the negative soul is still in his body. It will disturb the girl. You better stop him from returning to his main body."
"Good." Furthermore, Qin Yan started fighting again. This time he did not attack or act recklessly. All he did was defend and provoke the figure so as not to have time to return.
"Ukh...." Suddenly Qiu er's body shook. The figure turned around in panic. Qin Yan immediately understood. Qiu er's actions had reached the peak. The dragon jade scepter had already lost its light. His energy was depleted, all that energy was flowing in Qiu er's body.
The figure directly entered Qiu er's body without Qin Yan being able to stop.
Qiu er's own body instantly twitched, making Qin Yan instantly panic.
"Damn it! Qiu er, you have to succeed. Got to!" Qin Yan sat behind the girl.
"Hap." After that, Qin Yan's soul also entered his body.
A very broad conscious. There is no floor, sky or wall. Just the void space where Qin Yan's soul floated within.
Qin Yan's eyes instantly enlarged, looking at the scene before him. Qiu er's soul had been bound by that negative figure. Qin Yan quickly headed there.
Slowly but surely, Qiu er's soul that was bound slowly absorbed land. Qiu er could only wriggle trying to break away. But he can't do anything.
"Swosh" The figure who was devouring Qiu er's soul suddenly hit by a sudden attack belonging to Qin Yan. When his control was lost. Qin Yan quickly released Qiu er.
"I'll help you Qiu er. You have to make it..!"
Qin Yan's gaze was firm and filled with killing intent. Qiu er's soul nodded. He began to close his eyes, both of his hands releasing sparks of energy.
On the other hand, that negative figure looked at Qin Yan furiously. He immediately charged towards Qin Yan crazily. However he was stopped after being hit by Qiu er's attack.
After that, the fight went on. Qiu er was fighting his own negative side. And Qin Yan helped him behind.
In the end, Qin Yan who was only a supporter managed to corner the spirit.
"Now Qiu er.!"
Qiu er nodded, the creature was successfully bound by Qin Yan's energy rope.
"With this, it's all over." Qiu er. The girl then closed her eyes quietly. The situation turned around, if the negative spirit Qiu er was trying to absorb the original soul Qiu er. So this time, Qiu er will suck the spirit. The process of grabbing the body finally reached the final.
Qiu er concentrated all of his energy. Then he opened his eyes with a sharp look.
The negative spirit thrashed trying to escape. He opened his mouth in pain, until finally. Qin Yan himself saw it. The figure disappeared into a grain of light spots. The details of the light point towards Qiu er's soul. And for some reason, Qiu er's aura instantly exploded. Qin Yan's soul was affected.
Unknowingly, Qin Yan's soul returned to his original body. He opened his eyes in shock. But he did not have time to hold back the aura of Qiu er that was so turbulent.
Until finally Qin Yan was thrown several meters away. He also hit a tree so big.
"Ok." Qin Yan instantly spat out fresh blood. Qiu er's aura was so strong, that Qin Yan's soul was eroded.
"Well!"
'What the fuck....!' Qin Yan forced himself to laugh. The soul is so vulnerable, hit by a little attack, the body can not be anything. That's why, as strong as a person, if it doesn't have strong mental energy. Qin Yan could have defeated that person with his mental energy that he possessed. Mental energy invaded one's soul, not his powerful physique. It is like a soft and weak body residing in a hard shell.
Slowly, Qiu er floated in a standing position. The light in her body just kept turning.
Qin Yan who was holding onto his chest, immediately looked up at the incredible sight. His eyes could not blink.
Qiu er's clothes shattered instantly, two white and smooth mountain fruits towered high with pink plum blossoms at its peak.
Qin Yan instantly swallowed his own saliva with his breath starting to hunt.
Oh gosh....
Added to the bat nest below, with a little grass growing on it. Qin Yan had to say what, the girl was too seductive.
"Cloth." Suddenly Qin Yan slapped his own cheek. What is he thinking right now? How could his mind be this special.
"Haish....." Qin Yan closed his eyes quietly. But he couldn't hold his nose down. Although it was painful to resist this passion, Qin Yan still tried to smile. Unknowingly, Qin Yan fell asleep because he was so sleepy.
"Qin Yan!"
"Qin Yan!"
Slowly Qin Yan opened his eyes after feeling his cheeks being slapped quite hard. He looked at Qiu er's face that was already filled with tears. Trying to wake him.
"Qin Yan! You up! You're making me worry." Qiu er said with relief. He immediately brought Qin Yan his hug.
Without knowing what situation Qin Yan was in. Suddenly his face was immediately faced with something chewy.
'What Is This?' Qin Yan's breathing started to sniff about this thing. Not long after, Qiu er instantly released his embrace. He saw Qin Yan acting strangely, instantly making his face red. His body was covered in a blue cloth. And it instantly made Qin Yan gape.
"You're worrying me." Said Qiu er with a shy blush.
"Wait for Qiu er!" Qin Yan instantly turned his gaze aside. His face flushed slightly due to this awkward situation.
Qiu er also sighed. He took out his clothes from inside his own storage ring. Wearing it in front of Qin Yan bravely. While Qin Yan did not dare to look at him when he was dressed.
"It's over, now it's over." Qiu er said slowly.
It was then that Qin Yan was again enchanted by this girl's beauty after putting on new clothes. Although his clothes were quite different from the previous ones. But her beauty never faded.
"Stop looking at me like that." Qiu er seemed to be unable to bear the gaze of this child. I don't know why he was satisfied. With a face that remained flushed, he asked slowly.
"You're okay, right?"
Qin Yan nodded.
"Yes. Compared to that, how did it go? did you make it?"
The girl's face immediately beamed in series.
"Yes. The spirit has been destroyed. And now my cultivation is instantly increasing rapidly. Now I've been at Saint level." Qiu er cheered happily.
"What!!" Of course it immediately made Qin Yan surprised instead of playing. Is it true that he went straight up to that level? It was awful, as the name implies. The divine body is truly extraordinary. After this, perhaps Qiu er would be one of the top ones.
While Qin Yan was pondering for being excited. That's when he didn't realize. Qiu er's lips had been leaning against his lips. Qiu er's arms wrapped around his neck. He immediately kissed Qin Yan ferociously until Qin Yan leaned against the tree.
Qiu er climbed up his body, their lips constantly struggling. Until finally because of Qin Yan's habit of accidentally touching one of the girls.
"Mr...." Qiu er reflexively released his kiss. He's not used to it. He covered his body unconsciously.
"Pardon me.... L'm.. I'm..." Qin Yan was immediately wrong. He scratched his head. However Qiu er shook his head with a reddened face.
"It's okay. You saved me Qin Yan. I'm grateful you're here. You're free to do anything to me." Qiu er slowly took off his clothes.
"Tu-wait..!!" But Qin Yan instantly stopped the girl.
"Qiu er listen to me. I should've helped you. That's my duty as your friend. You don't take this as a payment." Said Qin Yan while holding the shoulder of the girl.
"So, you're taking this as a payment?"
"Gee!" Qin Yan turned around in surprise. The girl's face darkened instantly. He immediately gritted his teeth.
"Qin Yan's. What do you think of me as?" Qiu er asked seriously.
Qin Yan replied with a heart.
"You're my friend Qiu er. My friend I have to protect."
"So, do you like me or not?" Ask the girl again. Qin Yan was silent . His face became sweet.
'Maybe I don't like you. I loved you all this time. I've been harboring that for thousands of years.'
Seeing Qin Yan who did not answer. Qiu er's tears came down.
"I thought so. You don't love me. Qin yan, thank you for watching me all this time. Tomorrow, the tournament will restart. Take good care of yourself. We'll meet in the fight. Didn't you say you wanted to fight with me?" Qiu er's smile with poignancy. He stood up, turning his back to Qin Yan quickly. She wiped her tears, and started to step.
Qin Yan was still dumbfounded. Somehow his premonition was not good when he witnessed the girl's departure.
Is he going to leave?
Qin Yan suddenly remembered the time in his previous life. Maybe the time has passed in life now. Qin Yan was 17 years old. Just when Qiu er was about to enter the heavenly Bow academy. He came in faster because of the privilege he had.
At that time, Qiu er expressed his love for Qin Yan. He probably still loved Yiyin back then. But, after the revelation of the girl, Qin Yan was conscious. That he had wasted the girl who had loved him. Qiu er had loved him but he was instead chasing another girl. The girl who could be said to pay less attention to him.
At that time, for the first time. Qin Yan's heart was happy. He promised himself. When the girl comes home, she will try to chase after him. Who knows, it turns out Qiu er never came back again. News has it that he was killed in a battleground in an inter-kingdom tournament.
Sick? Of course Qin Yan's heart was very sick. Crazy one? Even Qin Yan was almost crazy back then. For a few days, Qin Yan preferred to torture himself. Because of the regret he had. Because of the sadness he had. Unexpectedly, he was given a second chance. Now, is he going to waste it again?
Nah! Of course not. This time, in this life. Qiu er is his . Only hers, she promised that the girl would be happy by her side.
Qin Yan stood up. Look at the girl who started to move away from running. Qin Yan immediately shouted.
"QIU ER!!!!!"
qin Yan's call felt like it was piercing Qiu er's ear. The girl turned around too. Seeing Qin Yan running away. Until finally hugged him tightly.
"Stupid! Stupid girl. I love you that much. I really love you. I'm not gonna let you go again. It won't. You're just mine, I'm going home to Star City. Facing your father and mother, asking permission to take you with me. I'm..... You're such a fool, I'll only take it when we're officially married. Because I respect you, I don't want to be tarnished before you get married. That's it, why do you have such a hard time understanding?" Qin Yan's body trembled as he said it. These were the words he wanted to say long ago. Unexpected to come out now, now his heart was relieved. Like a heavy weight had been lifted from his back.
On the other hand, Qiu er's eyes enlarged. It's like being enlightened. He also smiled happily. Replying to Qin Yan's embrace tightly, his heart was extremely happy.
"thank you. You have to promise me to come back to take me." Qiu er said slowly.
"of course. I will definitely take you with me. I promise, this is my promise I never broke." Qin Yan replied firmly.
Qiu er instantly calmed down when he heard it.
They hugged for quite a while. Until finally, Qiu er let go. The girl came home happy. And Qin Yan escorted her all the way to the girl's inn. They held hands throughout the journey.
Until finally arrived at the residence of the Qiu er group. Qin Yan let go of the girl's hand, and waved at the last moment when he saw her enter.
'I also have to go home.'
Qin Yan hurried away. But suddenly, there was someone who jumped from the tree branch. And now that person was right behind Qin Yan.
"Xiao Yan's. You're having enough fun with that girl apparently."
'That voice.....' Somehow Qin Yan was instantly scared when he thought about it. It was a voice he knew. But, somehow he was so confused when he heard it. Qin Yan slowly turned around. Sure enough, this situation had never been thought of by him. And honestly, he had never experienced this situation.
Yun Zhi stood there with her hands folded in her chest. His face was not wearing.
"Oh, is Y-yun Zhi? Since when were you there?" Qin Yan suppressed his own saliva with full of sweat. Gawat, what happens next. In a fight he never felt this big. But the problem is that the situation is quite complicated.
As if I didn't hear it. Yun Zhi spoke to Qin Yan seriously.
"I know it's pretty embarrassing for a woman much older than you. But I also need your certainty. Whether you love me or not. If not then let's say, I can forget about you and look for someone else."
Qin Yan was instantly speechless hearing his words.
"Are you really going to find someone else?" Ask slowly and gently.
Yun Zhi's face immediately turned red and she became misbehaved.
"Ma-eat him, I need your assurances. And I want to hear it tonight."
