Shang Tianjing hesitated for a moment, then took off the Storage Ring from her hand, forced out a drop of her Bloodline Power, and handed it to Qin Chu.
Taking the Storage Ring, Qin Chu looked at Shang Tianjing, “I hope you don't make a mistake. If you can return to Youwu Continent, then go back. If you can't, find a deserted place to live in seclusion. Don't do anything else to harm the Holy Martial Continent. Don't give me a chance or reason to kill you. You can go.”
Shang Tianjing glanced at Qin Chu, then exited the secret room. Let alone her current strength not being recovered, even if it were, she wouldn't dare to attack. She had no confidence in defeating Qin Chu. Others might not know the combat power of Qin Chu's fifth-stage Heavenly Origin Realm, but she did.
Seeing Lang Lang, Shang Tianjing's eyes were full of anger. She hated Lang Lang. Lang Lang's small whip hit her in all the wrong places, places she couldn't bear, which was why she compromised.
“What kind of look is that? Qin Chu said that if you fall into our hands again, he won't care how I deal with you!” Lang Lang said, looking at Shang Tianjing.
Shang Tianjing left, and Qin Chu returned to his room. He then claimed ownership of Shang Tianjing's Storage Ring and began to inspect it.
First, there was some underwear, which made Qin Chu blush. He was certain that Shang Tianjing was a secretly flirtatious woman; her underwear all had patterns. Besides clothes, Qin Chu found some Medicinal Pills, and most importantly, two ancient texts. One was called the Hidden Origin Art, and the other was a handwritten copy of an Awakening Secret Art.
Looking at the two ancient texts, Qin Chu took a deep breath. These were good things. Why was Shang Tianjing able to dispel his and Lang Lang's vigilance? Wasn't it because they thought her cultivation posed no threat? How did she conceal her cultivation? It was all thanks to the Hidden Origin Art.
As for the Awakening Secret Art, being of the same Holy Clan, the Vermilion Bird Holy Clan could learn from it. This was also why Shang Tianjing was unwilling to hand it over.
Since there was nothing else to do, Qin Chu first studied the Hidden Origin Art. After three days, Qin Chu successfully Cultivated the Hidden Origin Art, then began to study the Awakening Secret Art.
After studying the Awakening Secret Art for a while, Qin Chu felt it didn't align with him. He also understood the reason: his sacred bones were still growing within his body, and his Bloodline Power was being absorbed by the sacred bones, which was why his Bloodline Power had not yet manifested.
Although he couldn't Cultivate it, Qin Chu still memorized it.
After memorizing the Awakening Secret Art, Qin Chu wrapped the two ancient texts in oil paper, then called the person in charge of the outpost and instructed him to send the two ancient texts to the Vermilion Bird Holy Land.
After making arrangements, Qin Chu began to Cultivate, practicing swordsmanship and the Prison Suppressing Fist. Additionally, through this period of Cultivation, his Origin Qi cultivation had also improved rapidly. He was now in the Middle Stage of the fifth level of the Heavenly Origin Realm, and if he continued to Cultivate like this, he would soon enter the sixth level of the Heavenly Origin Realm.
One day, as Qin Chu was Cultivating, Lang Lang came to Qin Chu's courtyard, “Qin Chu, more news has arrived. The White Tiger Holy Clan's forces didn't hide well and were caught by the Holy Clan Enforcement. Another battle ensued. The leader of the White Tiger Holy Clan escaped, but many of their other clansmen were killed. It can be said that the White Tiger Holy Clan is in a terrible state and is still being hunted. It's hard to say if they can remain hidden.”
“These damned guys deserve to be beaten like this, so they don't jump around!” Qin Chu cursed, feeling a sense of satisfaction. The White Tiger Holy Clan and the Blazing Thunder Holy Clan had bullied the Vermilion Bird Holy Clan for nearly twenty years, and their current situation was their retribution.
Lang Lang nodded; he could understand Qin Chu's feelings. In the past, the White Tiger Holy Clan and the Blazing Thunder Holy Clan shamelessly suppressed the Vermilion Bird Holy Clan, a fact known to some people.
Life settled down, and in the blink of an eye, a month passed. During this month, no news was heard, and the White Tiger Holy Clan seemed to have vanished without a trace.
One day, as Qin Chu was Cultivating, Shang Shuyu and Granny Yu arrived.
Seeing Shang Shuyu, Qin Chu was extremely happy and gave her a direct hug, which made Shang Shuyu's pretty face flush. She and Qin Chu were engaged, so this was nothing, she was just shy.
“Qin Chu, are your eyes just for eating? Can't you see there are other people here?” Granny Yu looked at Qin Chu with dissatisfaction.
“Haha, my apologies! Qin Chu greets Granny. Someone, prepare a banquet and arrange accommodations.” Qin Chu instructed the servants at the outpost.
“Qin Chu, you're quite capable, young man. Not only did you capture a key figure of the White Tiger Holy Clan, but you also found out their hiding place. Now you can't help but become famous. However, there are also drawbacks. The White Tiger Holy Clan wants to eat you alive. Don't give them a chance. If you do, they will definitely try to kill you.” Granny Yu said to Qin Chu.
Qin Chu nodded, “I don't care about these things. I'm already in a fight to the death with them. No matter how we fight, I'm not afraid!” Qin Chu said.
After the servant brewed tea, he left, and Qin Chu chatted with Granny Yu and Shang Shuyu.
“Back then, when your Vermilion Bird Holy Clan suffered, let alone if the Clan Chief didn't know the news, even if he did, he couldn't intervene because he was a Holy Martial Enforcer and couldn't actively interfere with the power struggles within the Holy Martial Continent. Although he disliked it, he could only dislike it.” Granny Yu said to Qin Chu.
“Qin Chu understands this. Qin Chu is not some clueless hothead who doesn't understand anything.” Qin Chu said to Granny Yu.
“You can say that to others, but can you say it to Granny? A person who sees his fiancée right in front of him and doesn't know it, and even loudly wanted to break off the engagement, dares to say he's not a hothead?” Looking at Qin Chu, Granny Yu directly exposed his shortcomings.
Qin Chu was speechless, because what Granny Yu said was the truth; what he had done was indeed too rash.
“Qin Chu, I mainly came to see you, and also plan to Cultivate in the Heavenly Sword Mountain.” Shang Shuyu said, lowering her head. Before, she could face Qin Chu calmly, but now she was a bit unnatural, because after they got married, they would be a Family.
“That's fine! I'll accompany Senior Sister then!” Qin Chu said with a smile.
After having dinner together, Qin Chu arranged accommodations for Granny Yu and Shang Shuyu, then returned to his courtyard to Cultivate.
“Yu'er, this little rascal Qin Chu's potential is too frightening. Every time we meet, his state is different. If he continues to Cultivate like this, he will soon catch up to you.” Granny Yu said, looking at Shang Shuyu.
“This is a good thing. If he achieves something, Yu'er will be happy for him!” Shang Shuyu said with a smile.
Granny Yu couldn't continue speaking, because Shang Shuyu was completely on Qin Chu's side.
Qin Chu was very happy. The current turn of events made him feel relaxed and joyful. The Family's revival, his parents' safety, and having a fiancée—this was exactly what he pursued.
After Cultivating all night, Qin Chu started Alchemy after getting up. He wanted to prepare some Medicinal Pills for Shang Shuyu.
Granny Yu and Shang Shuyu came to Qin Chu's small courtyard.
“Qin Chu, you must pay attention to your safety. The White Tiger Holy Clan suffered a great loss, and the Youwu Continent will certainly not let it go. It's hard to say whether the White Tiger Royal Family's Shang Ruoyu will come to our Holy Martial Continent to declare war.” Granny Yu reminded Qin Chu.
