Sect Master Qin’s teacher was naturally Gao Yuefei.
This Gao Yuefei was actually preparing to make peace with the Shengtian Sect, even going as far as to become dependent on them. Lin Qian could not comprehend such a decision.
It was not just Lin Qian who did not understand; Qin Wushuang felt the same way, and Lei Heng was even furious about it!
After all, the parents of Lei Qian died in the war against the Shengtian Sect, a conflict deliberately instigated by the latter.
"There are quite a few elders and Supreme Elders within the Wanxiang Sect who originally opposed this decision. However, Gao Yuefei’s breakthrough to the Life and Death Realm suppressed the dissenting voices," Lei Heng sighed deeply, his eyes full of confusion.
The Wanxiang Sect and the Shengtian Sect had waged battle against each other for so long and held deep-seated hatred; now, Gao Yuefei was simply letting it go.
If it were merely a matter of making peace, one could still somewhat understand the transformation of weapons of war into gifts of peace, ending the bloodshed between the two sects, which would be a good thing.
However, while making peace, the Wanxiang Sect was also in a dependent state on the Shengtian Sect, which was hard to accept.
From his uncle’s account, Lin Qian understood why his own master had gone into seclusion.
Because Lin Qian was very aware that his master’s true realm was the Life and Death Realm!
Gao Yuefei had broken through to the Life and Death Realm and had made such a decision. It was certain that both his master and his uncle held opposing views.
Under such circumstances, to ensure both parties have equal say, it was imperative for Wei Wushuang to regain his strength in the Life and Death Realm.
"Now, the only ones who know your master is still alive are me, Master Lei, Lei Qian, and Ding Zhirong. They also think your master is dead because, after returning from the Middle Ages relic, we conducted a fake funeral using the faux puppet you left behind," Qin Wushuang said, his grave face showing curiosity.
"Truly, the puppet you left was incredibly lifelike; if I didn’t know the truth, I would have believed it was your brother’s corpse. Where did you get it?"
Lin Qian turned his head to look at his uncle Qin Wushuang, who was blinking eagerly, curious for the truth, and said impatiently, "Uncle, we’re discussing serious matters here. Let’s not get sidetracked."
"That’s true…" Hearing Lin Qian’s reminder, Qin Wushuang came back to his senses and awkwardly waved his hand.
Lin Qian looked at Qin Wushuang and sighed to himself.
Originally, in the storage ring he had given to the other, he had left a puppet body.
This type of puppet, an unfinished product currently being developed by Zhuge Ming, was nothing more than a corpse without the specialized technological support from the Huaxia Empire.
Lin Qian had asked Zhuge Ming to create this puppet in the likeness of his master, Wei Wushuang, to facilitate the staging of a fake funeral.
"By the way, uncle, what about the items I gave you?" Mentioning the puppet and the storage ring, Lin Qian suddenly remembered and quickly inquired from Qin Wushuang.
Qin Wushuang, knowing Lin Qian was worried, spoke to assure him, "Don’t worry; it is still on me and I haven’t let anyone else know, nor have I used it."
"Moreover, I’ve secretly contacted Sect Master Hai and explained the situation to him. According to him, the attitude of the nearby sect depends on you."
Hearing Qin Wushuang’s words, Lin Qian was somewhat surprised, "Because of me?" 𝓷ℴ𝓿𝓹𝓾𝓫.𝓬ℴ𝓶
"That’s right, it’s only natural for Sect Master Hai to make this decision," Qin Wushuang was not surprised by Hai Xiaoyun’s decision, "Sect Master Hai is a man who highly values loyalty and righteousness."
"So much wealth, but it was you, Lin Qian, who provided it, not me nor the Wanxiang Sect. Therefore, Sect Master Hai will of course proceed with this attitude."
Upon hearing this, Lin Qian nodded to himself, and his impression of Hai Xiaoyun had also greatly improved.
He thought to himself whether he should give something more to Sect Master Hai next time since, in his eyes, the items in the Dangyuan Sect’s treasury were only valuable for research and could be given away after researching, without much loss, yet it could earn him some favors.
"As for the Divine Sword Sect, the situation is quite similar, the only uncertain factor being the line of the Supreme Elder of the Divine Sword Sect." At this point, Qin Wushuang’s expression became slightly solemn. "You need to be extra careful about this."
"Sect Master Qin, actually, there’s no need to worry about the boss’s safety. In front of the boss, no one in Coastal State is an opponent," Lei Qian confidently declared, waving his hand.
Lei Qian knew just how terrifying Lin Qian really was.
It wasn’t just Lin Qian’s personal strength; it was also that his own boss, seemingly alone, was actually never alone, capable of summoning countless strong allies at any time.
"Lei Qian!" Lin Qian frowned and chided him.
Seeing Lin Qian’s displeased look, Lei Qian quickly pursed his lips, not daring to say more.
"Anyway, try not to engage with Gao Benli’s men until your senior brother finishes his seclusion and recovers his realm, understand?" Before leaving, Qin Wushuang advised Lin Qian.
Lin Qian nodded solemnly and assured, "Don’t worry, Uncle Master, I know what’s important. After all, Gao Benli is someone from the Sky Breaking Realm, and I’m not his opponent. Causing trouble would be disadvantageous to me."
Hearing Lin Qian’s words, Lei Qian displayed a face full of astonishment, as if he was seeing him for the first time, his expression strange.
"Well, just stay in Maoqing Mountain and focus on your cultivation until your master leaves seclusion." After a final admonition, Qin Wushuang turned and left.
Lei Heng also advised Lei Qian before leaving his grandson behind and following Qin Wushuang.
Leaving Lei Qian with Lin Qian, Lei Heng believed it was the best decision.
As Qin Wushuang and Lei Heng left with smiles from Lin Qian, Lei Qian couldn’t help but speak up, "Boss, what was that earlier, saying you’re not someone’s opponent? Don’t joke around. I know very well what kind of monster you are."
Sky Breaking Realm? Not an opponent?
Both Qin Wushuang and Lei Heng believed it, thinking it natural, but Lei Qian would never believe it.
His own boss had triple attributes in Soul Power, dual Martial Souls, and could use Elemental Weapon Armament.
Even if this Gao Benli was from the Sky-Breaking Realm, in Lei Qian’s eyes, he was no match for Lin Qian.
"Not cause any trouble? I just smacked around two of Gao Benli’s subordinates a while ago, one of them even cried like a baby, haha." Upon recalling the spectacle of Shi Fei crying pitifully, Lin Qian burst into laughter.
"He cried? No way," Lei Qian laughed along upon hearing Lin Qian’s words.
"Let’s go, let’s find out where Wu from the brothers sworn to Gao Benli is," Lin Qian mentioned with a sudden chilling expression, "I have a little score to settle with him."
"Ah? Boss, didn’t you promise Sect Master Qin to not stir up Gao Benli’s men?"
Lin Qian grabbed Lei Qian and headed towards the gate, chuckling lightly, "Hehe, I was just playing around with Uncle Master."
