Chapter 28

It's already the third watch of the night! Please support me!

Lin Qing looked at the倚天剑 (Yitian Sword), which was essential for his Shattered Ring mission, with great pain as it was returned to Master Miejue. However, he had to maintain the appearance of a well-behaved child, keeping his eyes lowered and listening obediently to Master Miejue's praise.

"However, it's not excessive!" Master Miejue said decisively. "If this child were not the only son of the great侠 (Xia) Song from Wudang, and if he were to become the future leader of Wudang, I would spare no effort to take him as my disciple, to pass on my legacy and make him the successor of the Emei Sect."

Yin Liting was taken aback.

The Emei Sect was one of the six major sects in the martial world. Since its founding by Guo Xiang, it had always been led by unmarried, pure and virtuous women. Not only were men excluded, but even married women could not become the leader.

Now, Master Miejue was openly discussing the possibility of making Qing Shu, his nephew, the leader of the Emei Sect?

This was truly...

To what extent did she like him?

At this moment, the disciples of the Emei Sect, the Kongtong Sect, the Huashan Sect, and the Kunlun Sect had already defeated the resistance of the Five Elements Flags and rushed to assist. Hundreds of people surrounded the area, making it impossible to move.

Seeing that Master Miejue, Yin Liting, and Song Qing Shu were unharmed, and that the young leader of the Tianying Sect, Yin Yewang, was dead on the ground, the righteous side had achieved a great victory, and everyone was overjoyed.

The Emei Sect disciples gathered around Master Miejue, offering her various precious medicines, pouring them into her mouth like a stream.

However, Master Miejue impatiently knocked away the delicate hands of the women.

The women were shocked.

Master Miejue, in front of hundreds of people from the five major sects, extended her hand lovingly, as if a grandmother was showing affection to her outstanding grandson, with a hint of regret, and stroked Lin Qing's head, sighing, "However, the status of the Emei Sect is far below that of the Wudang Sect. Qing Shu saved my life this time, so I encourage him! I encourage him!"

Only then did everyone realize that this time, in killing Yin Yewang, Master Miejue had been saved by Song Qing Shu from Wudang.

But what made everyone's eyes bulge was Master Miejue's next words.

"Since I cannot take away what belongs to others and make Qing Shu the future leader of the Emei Sect, I can only offer some compensation. In the future, if there is anything I can help with, even if it costs my life, I will not hesitate to help Qing Shu. I, Miejue, always keep my word and never go back on it!"

Lin Qing's body trembled.

Everyone present was petrified.

Mrs. Li's beautiful eyes were wide open.

"Even if it costs my life"? Is that possible?

What did Song Qing Shu do?

Lin Qing, however, was overjoyed. He raised his head and glanced at Zhou Zhiruo.

So, to get Zhou Zhiruo, wouldn't it be... even more possible?

Girls are naturally very sensitive to such matters.

Zhou Zhiruo could feel Lin Qing's intense gaze and immediately blushed.

She was uneasy.

She was afraid that Song Qing Shu would seize the opportunity and directly ask Master Miejue to betroth her to him. Given the favor her master showed him, even promising her life in public to Lin Qing, what couldn't she give him?

Yin Liting finally reacted and said urgently, "What are you saying, Master? The six major sects are like one family, helping each other. It is our duty. Although Qing Shu saved you twice, it was his duty."

The Emei Sect disciples were even more uneasy.

Ding Minjun, fearing that Master Miejue would really give the leadership to Song Qing Shu, said hurriedly, "Exactly! Master! Although Song Qing Shu is outstanding, it was his duty. How could..."

Before she could finish, a crisp sound was heard!

Slap!

She was already slapped by Master Miejue, with blood appearing at the corner of her mouth, and her face turning blue and swollen.

Master Miejue sneered, "You disciples are probably afraid that I will appreciate Qing Shu and pass the leadership to him, right? Unfortunately, although I have this intention, he thinks our Emei Sect is not good enough."

Lin Qing's heart ached.

Master, I am willing!

The Emei Sect was full of beautiful women, with Ji Xiaofu in the past and Zhou Zhiruo now. Even the remaining hundreds of female disciples were all young and beautiful, each with their own charm. Being their leader, he could have whatever he wanted, hehe, it would be wonderful.

However, Yin Liting declined.

Master Miejue continued, "Indeed! If Song Qing Shu from Wudang had only saved my life, I would have given my life to him. But this time, he is a benefactor of the Emei Sect!"

She lifted the Yitian Sword and said coldly, "Do you know? Just now, Yin Yewang used a despicable trick, almost killing me and stealing the Yitian Sword?"

The women and the five major sects exclaimed in surprise. They didn't expect Yin Yewang to be so powerful.

Master Miejue said slowly, "The Yitian Sword is a divine weapon passed down by Guo Xiang, the founder of our Emei Sect. It is a symbol of our sect and our fortune. If the Yitian Sword were taken by Yin Yewang, my death would be insignificant, but the Emei Sect's reputation of over a hundred years would be destroyed, and I would be guilty beyond redemption. I would have no face to meet Guo Xiang and the previous leaders in the afterlife."

She said sternly, "Is there anyone who still thinks Song Qing Shu is not a benefactor of the Emei Sect?"

Jingxuan, the most senior, read the situation and immediately shouted, "The Emei Sect thanks the great benefactor, Young Master Song!"

Hundreds of beautiful young women and mature women from the Emei Sect, in unison, said sweetly, "We thank Young Master Song for saving our master and retrieving the Yitian Sword. Your great kindness will never be forgotten."

"Song Qing Shu," no, Lin Qing, was at a loss.

A moment ago, he had the idea of taking the Yitian Sword and making a move on Master Miejue, but now he was embarrassed.

Sigh, his face was still not thick enough.

He received a prompt.

"In your participation, Yin Liting and Master Miejue killed the important character Yin Yewang."

"You retrieved the Yitian Sword stolen by Yin Yewang and returned it to Master Miejue."

"Your reputation in the Emei Sect has reached the highest level of [Admiration]."

"You have been listed as a candidate for the next leader by Master Miejue."

"Master Miejue's recognition of you has reached 90 points. Yin Liting's recognition of you has significantly increased."

"Master Miejue publicly announced that you can make a non-specific request to her. This request has no time limit and can be claimed at any time, but it cannot violate martial ethics or exceed the Emei Sect's capabilities."

"Due to your contributions to the Emei Sect, Zhou Zhiruo's affection for you has increased by 10 points, currently at 30 points."

"Due to these contributions, your white path reputation has increased by 500 points, currently at 1500 points, reaching [Famous in the Martial World]."

"[Famous in the Martial World]: You are known throughout the martial world, and your legend is spreading everywhere."

"Due to your involvement in killing Yin Yewang, Zhu'er's affection for you has increased by 30 points, currently at 50 points. Your enmity with the Ming and Tianying Sects has increased by 500 points, currently at 1500 points. You will be a priority target for the Ming and Tianying Sects, with a high bounty. Even the Five Scattered People and the Five Elements Flags are paying attention to your movements."

"Damn," Lin Qing was speechless, "Even the Five Scattered People are watching me?"

But the next prompt made him jump.

"Deeply saddened by the death of his only beloved son, White Eyebrow Eagle King has listed you, Master Miejue, and Yin Liting as his mortal enemies, with a determination to kill you. Please be cautious."

"Due to killing Zhang Wujie's biological uncle, Zhang Wujie's enmity towards you has reached 50 points."

"White Eyebrow Eagle King and Zhang Wujie, I have completely offended them," Lin Qing rolled his eyes.

He was quite open-minded, knowing that there must be losses with gains. If you don't provoke envy, you are mediocre.

Moreover, sometimes, if used well, enmity can be as useful as reputation and admiration.

"Your consecutive mission [Destroy the Ming Sect] has completed the second step, and the reward has been accumulated into the preset account. The third step requires you to increase your enmity to 3000 points!"

The last prompt made Lin Qing's heart race.

Destroying the Ming Sect, two steps completed?

But the Ming Sect is so powerful, how could a newcomer like him complete this legendary mission?

Facing Master Miejue's praise, he humbly thanked her and walked out of the crowd to Yin Yewang's corpse.

He wondered if Yin Yewang could produce the [Patriarch Token] he desperately needed.

Only causing 65 points of damage, it was probably not a significant proportion of the total damage.

Considering Lin Qing's negative fortune, he didn't dare to have high hopes.

A large golden key was floating in the air, as if waiting for Lin Qing to claim Yin Yewang's treasure.

Li Meilin, in the distance, supporting Zhu'er, quietly watched Lin Qing, her beautiful eyes filled with a misty look.

Lin Qing, in her eyes, had risen like a rocket, one shocking news after another. Li Meilin was even more respectful to Lin Qing.

She was a beautiful woman who knew how to survive.

Lin Qing snatched the key and chose to use it to open the treasure.

Yin Yewang's treasure chest appeared, visible only to him.

Lin Qing reached into the treasure chest, muttering the names of all the gods.

The result was slightly better than he expected.

Lin Qing received a prompt.

"You caused 65 points of damage in the process of killing Yin Yewang, with a [Damage Weight] of 65/200 = 32.5%."

"Originally, Yin Yewang's total health points were as high as 200! That means he had 20 points of muscle and constitution?" Lin Qing exclaimed.

"You used two strategies, one causing Yin Yewang to be surrounded by Master Miejue and Yin Liting, and the other causing his escape to fail. The damage caused by the strategies will be divided according to the [Strategy Weight]."

"You received an additional 27.5%."

"Your total weighted share is 60%."

"You can obtain 60% of Yin Yewang's wealth."

"Ah, I see," Lin Qing thought, "For adventurers, half of the wealth is obtained, for characters, it depends on your contribution. If it's a perfect kill, you should get all the wealth."

A 60% share already made Lin Qing very satisfied.
