Invincible cultivation strengthens: my son is a troublemaker-Chapter 72: Burning Bridges Shui Qinghan!

In the sky, the Great Roc was flying with its wings spread wide.

"Elder Qin, it’s all my fault. Everything that happened today was caused by me. If it wasn’t for me..."

Shui Qingrou said with a face full of guilt, her voice choked with emotion.

"What does this have to do with you? It’s them bullying you, not you bullying them... Can you really blame yourself for being too easy to bully?"

Qin Chuan turned his back to her, shook his head, and smiled.

"I..."

These were meant to be comforting words, but when Shui Qingrou heard them, she silently lowered her head and bit her lip.

It was indeed because she was too easy to bully.

She was too weak!!

If she were strong enough, not like her current self, then Liu Rushuang wouldn’t dare to bully her, and nothing that followed would have happened!

She silently clenched her fist.

Although she always thought she was working hard enough, it was only when she found herself powerless and dragging others down that she deeply realized... that so-called ’effort’ was just an excuse told to yourself!!

Many times, people deceive themselves into thinking they’re working hard, and even if they achieve nothing, they use effort to placate themselves - I’ve been working hard.

But in this world, no one cares about your efforts, whether they’re genuine or not.

Weakness is the original sin! ƒreewebɳovel.com

"Hoo..."

She took a deep breath, as if inhaling all her fragility, then wiped away her tears, and her eyes became resolute.

She couldn’t continue like this!

Every time something happens, all she does is cry, looking pitiful and innocent. Who was she showing this weakness to?!

To become strong, the first step was to abandon this weakness of character. True change starts from within!

"Sister, are you alright?"

Qin Zi felt the change in the girl’s aura beside him and suddenly became worried, fearing that she might do something irrational.

"Brother, I’m alright."

Shui Qingrou smiled brightly, though there were still tear marks on her face, her smile was incomparably radiant.

This smile.

It was like sunlight piercing through the clouds, like an ugly duckling in the reeds finally taking that first step onto the golden sandy beach.

Let all the gloom and weakness go to hell!

Qin Chuan, who was ahead, naturally sensed this change in aura as well and a hint of a smile appeared on his face.

Now that’s more like it.

If all you ever do is cry, with no sense of self-reliance or strength, then he wouldn’t really think much of you.

At the very least, such a woman was not fit to be his daughter-in-law.

The Great Roc’s speed was very fast.

Before long, the three of them returned to the Seven Martial Sect, and news from Wind and Thunder Valley clearly hadn’t reached them yet.

After all, they had flown quite fast with no delays on the way, far outpacing the speed of any rumors.

Wind and Thunder Valley also hadn’t used any treasures to send messages, because this kind of bad news... was thankless work.

"Back so soon? What were the gains like? Did Qin Zi amaze everyone and steal the spotlight?"

Grand Elder Jia Tianhe asked with a smile.

"Hmm... He caused a big problem."

Qin Chuan looked calmly at Jia Tianhe.

"Ah?"

Jia Tianhe’s eyelid twitched suddenly, then he looked into Qin Zi’s eyes and forced a smile while testing: "You’re joking, right?"

Qin Chuan looked at him, not speaking.

Jia Tianhe stared dumbfounded at Qin Chuan, opening his mouth several times without making a sound...

That night.

Grand Elder Jia Tianhe and Sect Leader Zhao Panlong, with serious expressions, hurried into the Forbidden Valley of the Seven Martial Sect.

Inside, several terrifying auras erupted, and there were even sounds of cursing and swearing, tension running high.

The opinions of several Supreme Elders seemed to diverge.

But in the end, everything calmed down.

The two brought out the highest decree of the Seven Martial Sect from the valley—vowing to protect Qin Chuan and his son with all their might, opposing any challenge!

This decree was facilitated single-handedly by Zhao Panlong’s father, Zhao Yunsheng’s grandfather, Zhao Fulong...

This brought a sigh of relief to both Zhao Panlong and Jia Tianhe.

That was close.

The sect didn’t decide to hand over Qin Chuan and his son; if they did... uh, it would have saved a lot of trouble!!

However, if they did that, their conscience would be uneasy, because they know that Qin Chuan and his son did nothing wrong.

If there is no fault, why be weak?

As for Qin Chuan, he was quite calm, because he waited until nightfall without hearing any system notification!!!

What does this mean?

This means that the Royal Family has no intention to kill Qin Zi!

What does this indicate?

"This indicates... there’s something fishy about this Spring Thunder Conference! And that Eldest Prince Yang Qitian... perhaps he lost on purpose."

"And that Mink Temple, perhaps it was something the Royal Family wanted to get rid of, to remove infiltrators without alerting others."

Recalling the situation at the time and the subsequent reactions of various forces, Qin Chuan quickly had some speculations.

He realized that he seemed to have unwittingly stumbled into a grand game of intrigue.

However... it wasn’t fatal.

In fact, both sides of the game had to thank him, because he inadvertently pushed the game forward, saving both sides a lot of effort.

If one had to describe it, he was now like a tumbler toy, no matter which way the wind blew, he remained safe.

"So, next... just watch the show?"

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but smile.

Speaking of watching, he thought of that kid Shui Qinghan, and the Old Demon in the sinkhole.

"Buzz!"

His Divine Soul Power was released, then instantly vanished into the night, spreading far and wide.

Yet, he searched all over the sect but couldn’t find that kid Shui Qinghan, and he wasn’t in the sinkhole either!

"A month of inattention, and this kid is gone. Could it be... he’s become wary of the Old Demon and gone to lay low?"

It seems there’s a real possibility of that!

This Shui Qinghan grew up lonely and dependent on his sister, and to survive with her in this harsh world, he would have some cunning. How could he be completely unguarded against the Old Demon?

Even though the Old Demon’s story was quite compelling, to a young boy who saw the warmth and coldness of human relationships from an early age, it might be full of holes and hardly worth mentioning.

This kid was likely playing dumb, using the ruse to get some benefits from this scheming Old Demon.

Moreover, this kid had good self-control, knowing when to stop and retreat, not continuing to be tempted by the Old Demon...

"When you think about it, this kid is not simple."

Qin Chuan rubbed his chin, his eyes narrowing. Not to mention anything else, this kind of self-control to resist temptation was something not everyone could possess.

After all, people have a mindset of wishful thinking.

Especially after tasting the benefits, it’s hard to stop, because thinking of getting more benefits next time, there will be a thought in mind to try once more, the last time, after this deal, I’ll stop.

But, that so-called "last time" isn’t really the last time. The real last time is the time you get caught!

"Huh?"

Suddenly, his Divine Soul Power detected Shui Qingrou, who was holding a piece of paper, standing at the edge of a cliff gazing into the distance.

He took a look at the letter.

Sure enough!!

It was Shui Qinghan’s letter of departure.

The handwriting was ugly, crooked like crab legs, but barely recognizable:

"Qingrou, by the time you see this letter, brother has already left the Seven Martial Sect, don’t be sad, because I’m very happy."

"In fact, I’ve always yearned to go on adventures alone, to explore the wider world, but I’ve always been worried about you."

"Now it’s all good, you’ve become the disciple of the Supreme Elder, with the Supreme Elder protecting you, I don’t have to worry about anything."

"Cultivate well, don’t let me down, even though you’ve awakened a powerful physique, your brother is now quite formidable and will become even more formidable, to the point of... exceeding your imagination!"

"Lastly, tell your master that on the fourth unnamed small hill on the right of Biyun Peak, in the mixed woods, there’s a sinkhole with a terrifying Old Demon suspected of being a sect traitor!"

Signed: Shui Qinghan.

Underneath the word "Han" there was an incomplete stroke, fully proving the letter’s origin; after all, Shui Qinghan hadn’t had much schooling.

In fact, compared to her brother, Shui Qingrou was also about the same, her handwriting was atrocious, and before she awakened the Nine Yin Fiend Body, her roommates mocked her writing as "the writing reflecting the person."

"Shah!"

Suddenly, a breeze blew over, carrying a peculiar fragrance, seemingly floral, making one somewhat intoxicated.

Shui Qingrou yawned.

She felt her mind suddenly become a bit drowsy, so she folded the paper and put it into the Space Ring given by her master, muttering to herself, "I’m a bit tired today, better tell my master about this tomorrow..."

With that, she yawned and headed back to her room to sleep.

Meanwhile, Qin Chuan sealed the bottle containing the strange pollen, put it away, and squinted his eyes.

"This Shui Qinghan kid burned the bridges after crossing, made the first move to betray the pitiful Old Demon, and if nothing unexpected happens, the Old Demon will be taken care of by the sect tomorrow. I need to act quickly and take Qin Zi along to fleece the unsuspecting."
