156 Grandmaster
Saying this, Elder Erlong stood up.
Qin Huai jumped in shock and quickly held him. “Elder Erlong, please don’t make things difficult for this brat.”
Qin Huai was in a dilemma.
“How about this, tell me who the Grandmaster is? Who knows, I might even know him.” Elder Erlong sighed.
“My Grandmaster’s surname seems to be Liu?” Qin Huai racked his brain. His master had never mentioned his surname to him.
“Oh. Liu. Is he called Liu? Liu… Where did you come from?” Elder Erlong scratched his head.
“Ah? Didn’t Elder know… I’m from the Changshan Dojo in Pingnan City.” Qin Huai was surprised. He didn’t expect Elder Erlong to not even know this.
“Pingnan City?” Elder Erlong’s expression suddenly became strange. “Kid, do you have a martial uncle or martial grandmaster uncle called Sun Yuanshan?”
“Sun Yuanshan is my master!” Qin Huai’s eyes lit up. “Elder Erlong, you know him?”
“Yes, I know him very well!” Elder Erlong looked at Qin Huai with a complicated expression. “When that kid was young, he once came here and also practiced martial arts at the Nine Dragons sect for a while.
“Back then, this old master saw that the boy’s way of doing things was very unpredictable, so I gave him some pointers for a while. He can barely be considered an in-name disciple.”
Elder Erlong seemed to be reminiscing. “I remember that he was good at using poison techniques, and he studied with patience. He didn’t have so many rules and regulations when he did things, and he helped my Nine Dragons sect vent a lot of anger in the county city. He’s very much to my liking… Unfortunately, his aptitude was too poor, and he didn’t manage to stay.”
Qin Huai was entranced. Of course, he had heard his master tell him the story of his travels when he was young.
He had never thought that he would meet an old friend of his master at the Nine Dragons sect.
And from what Elder Erlong said, his master had also stirred up a storm in the county city when he was young.
However, it probably wouldn’t leave a good reputation.
He thought about it carefully. His master was only at the sixth refinement at the age of eighty, so his aptitude was indeed ordinary…
“So, I should call you Grandmaster?!” Qin Huai suddenly reacted.
“It can be considered so!” Elder Erlong said unwillingly. But he couldn’t possibly snatch his own disciple’s disciple…
“In fact, he can also be your junior brother. In any case, we’re all from the same lineage, so it’s not a big deal to have another branch. At most, we’ll just talk about our own things. You call him Junior Brother, and he calls you disciple. You’re both in the younger generation, so it’s about the same.”
The corners of Qin Huai’s mouth twitched. How could this be the same?
He had previously thought that this Elder Erlong was the kind of person who didn’t like to speak and was the cold type. This was something he didn’t understand before.
“Just tell me if I’m your grandmaster or not!”
“Yes!”
“Then do you want to pay your respects or not?” Elder Erlong waved his sleeve impatiently, as if about to kneel on the ground again.
Qin Huai looked up and felt his scalp tingle. “Grandmaster, please accept this disciple’s bow!” He hurriedly beat him to it, kowtowing to Elder Erlong on the spot.
“Mmh… That’s more like it. Disciple, you may rise.” Elder Erlong helped Qin Huai up with joy. He actually didn’t care what Qin Huai called him.
In the surroundings, many people were chatting while watching Qin Huai. Suddenly, he knelt down, kowtowed to Elder Erlong, and called him Grandmaster.
They were dumbfounded.
“What’s going on? How could a country bumpkin acknowledge Elder Erlong as Grandmaster?”
“I’ve also never heard of Elder Erlong having a disciple?”
“Elder Erlong’s standards are very high. When has he ever accepted a disciple?”
The group of people whispered to each other, but they could not figure out the whole story.
“Come to my room at midnight tonight.” Elder Erlong patted Qin Huai’s shoulder, the smile on his face never fading.
“Qin Huai will do as you command!” Qin Huai left respectfully.
The disciples on the Blood Dragon Platform were all dumbfounded.
Elder Erlong, who usually didn’t smile, was smiling and kind throughout the whole process today. Because of this, many masters and elders hurriedly told their disciples not to go to the Blood Dragon Platform or to get close to Elder Erlong for the next two days.
…
Qin Huai stopped at the drill ground. He was watching some disciples of the Nine Dragons sect practice martial techniques.
They were all things that Qin Huai was familiar with, or perhaps Qin Huai wasn’t interested in them after reading them. He didn’t see anyone trying to cultivate a powerful forbidden technique like the rising dragon.
They have something like the dragon raising pill, which can make the white dragon more powerful. It has never lacked attack power, so naturally, they would not study forbidden techniques like the rising dragon…
As Qin Huai was thinking, he suddenly saw a small group of people in the corner whose aura movements were very similar to the rising dragon.
He immediately ran to the side to take a look.
“Ding! You’ve collected a [Long Breathing Technique: Dragon Out of the Nest].”
Memories flooded into Qin Huai’s mind.
However, Qin Huai was disappointed very quickly. These people didn’t detonate the white dragon. They only tried their best to pull back the white dragon and shoot it out before retrieving it.
Although it can be reused, its power is a world’s difference from the rising dragon.
Qin Huai was no longer interested, because this kind of fierce dragon leaving its nest was an accumulation for him. In contrast, his rising dragon could almost achieve the level of a general attack.
Qin Huai strolled around and collected a few more techniques and uses of the breathing technique before returning to his own courtyard.
He took a deep breath, then recalled what Zhang Haoyue had said in the martial arts field.
The white dragon was floating above the ribs, and there seemed to be a gentle breeze blowing around it.
His hair also fluttered in the wind, and he seemed to have an indomitable spirit.
“If I were to use the earthquake dragon at this moment, I’d definitely be able to kill that Cheng Li with a single blow!”
Qin Huai could feel the astonishing power that would burst out when the power was carried out.
