C1649 Verbal contention
Qin Xuan had come here once before, so he knew how to enter the Pure Heart Palace. As he walked forward, many people in the Ziyun House saw the mask on his face and their expressions changed, as if they were slightly surprised.
That night at the Zither Association, two figures had appeared. One was Young Master Ting Zhu, and the other was none other than this person.
Even Emperor Zi was personally speaking up for him, this was not something an ordinary person could do.
Very quickly, Qin Xuan arrived outside the Pure Heart Palace, but did not directly enter. Instead, he stopped outside the hall and spoke in a clear voice: "This junior is here for the one month agreement, to seek an audience with Senior."
"Enter." A lazy voice came from the hall.
Hearing the voice, Qin Xuan walked into the hall. He raised his head and saw Emperor Zi sitting on the throne, and standing by his side was the woman who had received them at the Rainbow Skirt Hall. It seemed that she was called Xi Yue.
"Emperor Zi." Qin Xuan cupped his hands towards Emperor Zi and then looked at Miss Xi Yue. His expression was somewhat cold and proud.
Xi Yue's beautiful eyes slightly froze, she was slightly unhappy in her heart. Since this person was from the Eastern Emperor, and had an extraordinary background, why did he not know etiquette?
Qin Xuan did not care what others thought of him. He was now Donghuang Yu, a person who had been abandoned by the Eastern Kingdom, with only the word 'revenge' in his heart, why would he care about other unrelated people?
"I never thought that a month would have passed so quickly. Tell me, how many zither technique did you learn?" Emperor Zi said as he looked at Qin Xuan jokingly. Every time he saw Qin Xuan, he felt much better.
This little guy really resembled him back then!
"It's hard to say, but it was a huge improvement compared to the first time." Qin Xuan replied.
Emperor Zi's eyes lit up when he heard Qin Xuan's words, this brat actually had a moment of modesty?
"The reason I came here was to return the ancient book. Secondly, I wanted to ask how senior is doing in his consideration." Qin Xuan went straight to the point, without any delay, as though he was extremely concerned about that matter.
"No rush." Emperor Zi looked at Qin Xuan, with a profound look in his eyes, he turned to look outside the hall, and smiled: "Another person has arrived."
With that said, Qin Xuan and Xi Yue's eyes congealed, and in the next moment, Qin Xuan felt many auras approaching him, one of which he was familiar with, it was Qin Zhu's.
His guess was not wrong, Qin Zhu was also very concerned about this matter.
Not long after, Qin Zhu and a few Qianqin Mountain Warriors came to the exit of the Pure Heart Palace, Qin Zhu cupped his hands towards the inside and said: "Qianqin Mountain Qin Zhu wishes to meet Senior Emperor Zi."
Qin Zhu intentionally added the Qianqin Mountain in front of his name, as if telling Emperor Zi that he was here in the name of the Qianqin Mountain.
"Come in." Emperor Zi looked outside of the hall with his deep gaze, and the figures of the crowd seemed to enter his eyes, his expression not changing much.
"Let's go." Qin Zhu took the lead and walked into the hall. The rest of the Rankers followed behind, obviously taking Qin Zhu as their leader.
After entering the hall, when Qin Zhu saw that Qin Xuan was also there, his eyes couldn't help but flash with a profound light, as he faintly had a bad premonition.
Qin Xuan also looked at Qin Zhu, the eyes that were exposed outside the mask seemed to be extremely calm, without any ripples, just like when he first saw Qin Zhu.
Even though Qin Zhu had unparalleled talent in the Profound Moon Island and was known as the number one genius, in his eyes, he was only slightly more outstanding than ordinary people. He was far from being able to call himself unparalleled, so he naturally didn't need to pay too much attention.
Qin Zhu's eyes quickly returned to normal, he slowly walked to Emperor Zi and cupped his fists: "Greetings Senior Emperor Zi, I am still here to pay my respects to you, and ask for your help on the matter with Nine Saints Island."
"I know." Emperor Zi nodded his head, if not for this matter, Qin Zhu would not have personally come to the Ziyun House twice.
So much so that he brought a few Qianqin Mountain disciples with him this time, presumably to hint at something.
"I've been thinking about it for a long time and came up with a plan. I wonder if you're willing to accept it." Emperor Zi said as he looked at Qin Xuan and Qin Zhu. It was as if he was talking to the both of them.
Hearing this, Qin Zhu's heart trembled, he turned and looked at Qin Xuan, and asked: "Do you also want to participate in the Nine Saints Island's battles of trials?"
"Since this battles of trials is organized to select extraordinary people, then I, as an extraordinary person, will not participate?" Qin Xuan asked indifferently, her tone was flat, her gaze still not looking at Qin Zhu.
As soon as Qin Xuan finished speaking, Xi Yue, Qin Zhu and the few zither cultivator s' hearts trembled, and they all looked at Qin Xuan.
I am already an extraordinary person, why wouldn't I participate?
What a proud voice, and what a natural tone, as if the battles of trials, was held for him alone.
They had never seen such a proud person in their lives.
Qin Zhu looked at Qin Xuan, a hidden sharp glint shooting out from the depths of his eyes. What exactly is the background of this person?
Emperor Zi already had some understanding of Qin Xuan, but he was not too surprised by what Qin Xuan had said. On the contrary, if he did not hear it, he might be surprised.
Heh heh, what shameless boasting! You must know how many heaven's pride level beings are participating in the battle at the battles of trials, just by walking out of the ordinary islands, there are already hundreds! Not counting the Nine Saints Island's indigenous heaven's pride level experts, where did your courage come from?
Behind Qin Zhu, a Qianqin Mountain disciple said sarcastically. He looked at Qin Xuan with extreme contempt in his eyes;
Even the geniuses of the other three towns did not dare speak words that were more outstanding than the Third Senior Brother. What did this man count as, to be able to talk about him in front of the Third Senior Brother?
Isn't that a bit too ridiculous!
Although Qin Xuan's words did not bring up Qin Zhu, to say it out in front of him was already faintly a provocation.
It was as if he was even more extraordinary than Qin Zhu.
"Yuan Shan, don't be rude." Qin Zhu turned his head back to look at the person behind him and berated him, but his tone did not carry much intention of reprimand, as if he was just putting on an act. After all, with Emperor Zi here, he had to protect Qianqin Mountain's face.
"It was originally like this. It's not like I said anything wrong." Yuan Shan's expression was stubborn. He appeared to be unconvinced.
He had never seen such an arrogant person. If he was allowed to spout nonsense, wouldn't he be allowed to refute?
Qin Xuan looked at Yuan Shan, and his gaze instantly grew colder.
Was this person trying to stir up trouble on purpose?
Qin Xuan could not believe that an ordinary Emperor Realm disciple would dare to say such words in front of a Emperor Stage powerhouses, and even before Qin Zhu had scolded him, he had still not stopped. Could it be that this person's status was higher than Qin Zhu's?
The words he had said before, was merely to answer Qin Zhu's question, and was just to show his own pride, and not to ridicule or humiliate Qin Zhu.
However, the words that this person had said earlier had ridiculed him for being insolent and ignorant, and it was obvious that they wanted to provoke his anger.
At this time, Qin Xuan was thinking, was this commanded by Qin Zhu?
Causing trouble between him and Qin Zhu, this way, Qin Zhu would have a proper reason to deal with him, and push him out of the battles of trials.
Of course, this was just Qin Xuan's guess, maybe that wasn't the case.
From beginning till end, Emperor Zi did not say a single word, and watched the situation from the sidelines, as if he was a spectator. He was too lazy to bother about what methods were behind this matter.
Qin Zhu looked at Qin Xuan, his face revealing a look of guilt, he cupped his fists and said: "Just now, my junior brother was too rash, I hope that you do not take it to heart, when we return, I will definitely discipline you more, and will definitely not let this matter happen again."
Qin Xuan's eyes indifferently swept across Yuan Shan, and only said one sentence: "If there's a next time, I will definitely kill it."
The expression on Qin Zhu's face instantly stiffened, and became exceptionally unsightly.
He had only just apologized, yet this person had already said such words. This was no longer arrogance, this was clearly slapping him in the face.
He, Qin Zhu, doesn't care about face?
However, this was good as well. There was no need for him to push things any further.
"What do you mean?" Qin Zhu looked straight into Qin Xuan's eyes, and his body seemed to be filled with a little anger.
When Xi Yue saw the scene before her, a hint of shock flashed past her beautiful eyes and she faintly felt that the situation had worsened.
"Nothing, just a warning." Qin Xuan indifferently replied. If Qin Zhu wanted to instigate a dispute, that would be what he wanted. He could use this opportunity to help Emperor Zi make a decision.
If he had to let nature take its course, he did not have much of an advantage over Qin Zhu, but if he made any movements, Emperor Zi might change his mind.
In fact, Emperor Zi was also making use of this opportunity to determine which one of the two people was most deserving of his help.
"Your words just now, it seems that you think you have the ability to stand out amongst the battles of trials?" Qin Zhu continued to ask, his tone extremely calm.
"Naturally." Qin Xuan said indifferently.
Qin Zhu chuckled and said: "I think you still don't know how cruel battles of trials are. Nearly ten years of battles of trials, and even the most outstanding person in Profound Moon Island only charged into the top seventy.
Hearing Qin Zhu's words, Qin Xuan turned his head for the first time and looked in Qin Zhu's direction. He spoke arrogantly: "Why do you need to care about the achievements of our predecessors, I only need to ask you one thing, this time battles of trials, do you want to surpass your predecessors?"
Qin Zhu was startled, and stared straight at Qin Xuan.
Of course, he wanted to surpass his predecessors. Otherwise, what was the point of him participating?
In the eyes of these important figures, the top 70 was only a rank that they looked at well.
Seeing that Qin Zhu was silent, Qin Xuan could not help but sneer: "Since you want to surpass the achievements of your predecessors, then what was the meaning of the words that you spoke just now?"
Qin Zhu's eyes became cold. Although he said those words, but weren't his words too sharp? Did he really think that he was invincible?
"I am only reminding you, the battles of trials is extremely cruel, only the truly amazing and talented people are qualified to walk to the end, before the battle, there were many people who bragged that they had extraordinary talent, arrogant and proud, as though they were suppressing their own generation, yet they were mostly eliminated halfway, and not even a hundred of them were able to enter."
Qin Zhu spat out a cold voice, his sharp eyes staring at Qin Xuan, as though there was no longer any need to hide anything. Since the other party refused to drink, there was no need for him to be polite.
"These words, we'll talk about it when you get eliminated." Qin Xuan said in a light and casual manner. After he finished speaking, his gaze shifted away from Qin Zhu, as if he had completely ignored him.
