Chapter 189 Floating Wood

“What a fast speed! This isn’t a speed that mystic realm cultivators can have, right?”

“So strong! What a strong mystic energy! And how did his mystic energy…”

“He’s a great mystic practitioner! A great mystic practitioner under 20 years old!?” Before Ye Shuo could find Wu Qingce, the surrounding Ye family disciples had already cried out in surprise.

Although the voices of the surrounding disciples were not loud, the words ‘great mystic practitioner’ still entered Ye Shuo’s

ears.

Their compliments for Wu Qingce were deafening to him!

Ye Shuo turned around in disbelief. Then, he saw that Wu Qingce, who was like a white-robed scholar just a moment ago, was now surrounded by dark purple mystic energy. Furthermore, within this strong mystic energy, there were electric arcs jumped around non-stop. “What kind of mystic energy is this!?”

Ye Shuo had heard that there were some geniuses on the continent who had mystic energy that contained the power of the five elements, namely metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. However, he had never heard that someone’s mystic energy contained the power of lightning

“Brother Wu is already a great mystic practitioner?” Ye Shuo asked in shock.

Wu Qingce nodded, “Yes, I just broke through to level 6 great mystic practitioner a few days ago.”

“Great mystic practitioner level 6?!”

The group of Ye family disciples gasped. Although they could feel that Wu Qingce’s mystic energy was much stronger than that of a newly promoted great mystic practitioner, they did not expect that he was level 6 already!

After all, their master was only a level 5 great mystic practitioner.

Ye Lingtian and his sons could not help but gape in shock. They did not expect that this young man under 20 years old was already a powerhouse who was trying to break through to superior mystic practitioner realm. The few members of the Ye family, who had barely reached the superior mystic practitioner realm at the age of 30. They were all in disbelief that Wu Qingce was stronger than them.

Ye Fan was shocked as well. He did not expect an envoy sent by Sect of Returning Hearts to be so talented. At the same time, he could not help but yearn for it.

After learning that Wu Qingce was already a level 6 great mystic practitioner, Ye Shuo did not have any intention of backing down. He put on an offensive stance and asked, “Before we fight again, can Brother Wu help me clear my doubts?”

“Brother Ye, please speak.”

“I wonder which branch of the five elements does Brother Wu’s spiritual essence belong

to?”

“The eastern divinatory is thunder, and the five elements belong to wood.”

Ever since Wu Qingce consumed 70% Thunder Flame Body Tempering Pill, he felt that his spiritual essence had changed. Initially, when he used his moves, there would be thunder spiritual essence. But as time passed, the thunder spiritual essence in his body became more and more abundant until it became visible to the naked eye.

Regarding this miraculous medicinal effect, Wu Qingce could only sigh in his heart, “Brother Jiang’s alchemy skill is unrivalled in the world!

“I see, thank you for your guidance, Brother Wu. Be careful!” After saying that, Ye Shuo suddenly took a step forward, and the Senluo Sword Technique stabbed towards Wu Qingce like a snake spitting out its tongue.

However, Ye Shuo’s strongest attack was easily caught by Wu Qingce’s index and middle fingers.

Looking at Ye Shuo’s widened eyes, Wu Qingce felt as if he could see himself in battle with his senior brother.

“No wonder Brother Jiang like to use his fingers to catch my sword. This feeling… is so refreshing.” Wu Qingce was amazed.

Since he had already displayed the strength of a level 6 great mystic practitioner, Wu Qingce chose to end the battle quickly. Otherwise, if he kept toying with Ye Shuo for a few more rounds, then he would not be establishing his friendship with the Ye family disciples. Instead, he would be making enemies in the Ye Residence.

“I admit defeat.”

Letting out a long sigh, Ye Shuo kept the Leaf Blade that Wu Qingce had released back into its scabbard.

Under the astonished gazes of all the disciples of the Ye family, Ye Lingtian clapped his hands and praised, “Qingce is indeed talented. No wonder he was accepted as Brother Lu’s personal disciple. To have such strength at such a young age, this old man is truly amazed.”

“Old Master Ye, you flatter me.” Wu Qingce turned around and cupped his hands.

Although his own disciple had suffered a terrible defeat, Ye Lingtian did not feel too uncomfortable in his heart. He thought that since Lu Yinlong would send such an outstanding direct disciple to make amends, it meant that he still valued the friendship between them.

In addition, he had indeed received news of the recent undercurrents in the Fengzhou.

“Perhaps Brother Lu really can’t get away…”

Seeing that all the disciples were staring at Wu Qingce in a daze, Ye Lingtian took the opportunity to say, “How is it? All of you are too arrogant. Now, you all had witnessed the strength of the outstanding young cultivators on the continent, right?”

“Yes.” All the disciples bowed their heads and cupped their hands.

They had indeed broadened their horizons today. Originally, they thought that with Ye Shuo’s strength and talent, he would be a top-notch existence even in the entire continent. However, Wu Qingce’s appearance had given them a good lesson, it made them realize that they were just frogs at the bottom of a well.

After giving a few more words of encouragement to the disciples, Ye Lingtian brought Wu Qingce to the side hall, leaving behind a group of disciples to discuss what had just happened.

Looking at the direction where Wu Qingce had left, Ye Fan’s heart was filled with mixed feelings.

He imagined that if his cultivation talent had not disappeared, he might have been as strong as Wu Qingce when he was Wu Qingce’s age, or even stronger!

Unfortunately, these wonderful scenes could only exist in his imagination, because he was now just a piece of trash who could not even defeat Ye Yong

…

Late at night, Wu Qingce moved into the small courtyard that Ye Lingtian had arranged for him. He even had a special servant girl to serve him. It could be said to be the highest standard of treatment.

After bidding farewell to a few higher-ups of the Ye family, Wu Qingce let out a long sigh.

This was the first time he had conducted these “social engagements” as Sect Master Lu’s disciple. There were many times when he could not differentiate between what he should say and what he should not say. Therefore, when he encountered many problems, he used the move that his senior brother had taught him.

Not saying anything, pretending to be an expert.

Moreover, the effect of this move was exceptionally good. Every time, someone would help him smooth things over and change the topic without making any mistakes.

After politely rejecting the servant girl who wanted to help him bathe and change his clothes, Wu Qingce left the courtyard and went to the forest behind the Ye family.

A few days ago, when he and his senior brother came to observe Ye Fan, they already knew that he would come here to practice every night. Even if his cultivation speed increased extremely slowly, it could not stop his determination in the slightest.

On this night, Ye Fan was still waving the long spear in his hand by the small river as usual. He practiced until his entire body was covered in sweat. When he was exhausted, he sat down and took big gulps of air to rest.

“Brother Ye Fan, drink some something and rest.”

Xin Dong’er, who had been watching from the side, immediately handed him a bowl of sweet potato and tremella soup.

“Thank you.” Taking the bowl from Xin Dong’er, Ye Fan looked at her and said, “Dong’er, you really don’t have to accompany me to cultivate every night. I…”

“Brother Ye Fan, I’m willing to be with you. You don’t have to be polite with me.”

Ye Fan sighed. Although he did not want Dong’er to see his pathetic side, he could not forcefully reject Dong’er. He could only say “Thank you” and finish the soup in one gulp.

Just as he was about to return the bowl to Xin Dong’er, Ye Fan suddenly heard footsteps behind him.

“Who!?”

Ye Fan worried that it was that b*stard Ye Yong again. He gripped the long spear in his hand and shouted.

“It’s me, Wu Qingce. We met this afternoon.” In the darkness, Wu Qingce slowly approached Ye Fan and spoke.

Seeing that it was Wu Qingce, Ye Fan’s tensed body relaxed a little. However, he still did not have a good impression of Wu Qingce, who was from Sect of Returning Hearts. Therefore, he just cupped his hands at him and did not say anything else.

On the other hand, Xin Dong ‘er looked at Wu Qingce and cupped her hands. “Greetings, Brother Wu. May I know why Brother Wu came here in the middle of the night?”

“I can’t sleep. I want to find a quiet place to relax.”

“I see. Then we won’t disturb Brother Wu anymore.”

“I’m the one who’s disturbing up your practice. You guys continue. I’m going to take a walk.”

After walking along the river for a while, Wu Qingce turned around and found that the two people had no intention of catching up. He took out the green silk pouch from his storage ring.

When they set off, Gu Qinghuan told him to open the red one if Ye Fan took the initiative to look for him. If someone came to look for him for Ye Fan, he would open the yellow one. He was worried that Ye Fan did not know where he lived. Therefore, he specially came to the forest to “take a walk”.

However, judging from Ye Fan’s behavior just now, it was unlikely that he would take the initiative to look for him.

After waiting for another ten minutes, Ye Fan still did not catch up with t him. Wu Qingce was thinking whether he should go back again when he felt a sudden pain on his forehead.

Feeling this familiar touch, Wu Qingce bowed his head and cupped his hands without thinking. “Brother Jiang.”

“You didn’t plan to walk back just now, right?” Jiang Beiran looked at Wu Qingce and asked.

“I… did intend to.”

Knowing that he couldn’t hide it from his senior brother, Wu Qingce chose to tell the truth.

“You’re acting weird by walking in the woods in the middle of the night, and now you want to walk back to them? Do you want Ye Fan be suspicious of you?”

“Sorry, I didn’t think it thoroughly…”

“Tell me everything that happened today.”

“Yes.” Wu Qingce began to report after he finished speaking Just like in the Sect of Masked Moon, Wu Qingce meticulously played every role and recreated all the scenes vividly. When Jiang Beiran heard that Ye Lingtian had forgiven Ye Fan for breaking off the engagement after obtaining the Five Dragon Pill, he knew that Ye Fan really had no status in the Ye family after becoming a piece of trash. Just based on this point, it was estimated that even if Lu Yinlong came personally, the final three-year agreement still had to be carried out as planned, because no one cared about his feelings at all.

“This is too tragic. Is this the fate of being a main character?” Jiang Beiran pondered.

After that, when he heard his sonorous and forceful reply that Wu Qingce would definitely look for Lu Qingyin three years later, Jiang Beiran felt that Ye Fan was in total despair.

To Ye Fan, breaking off the engagement was like a piece of driftwood for a drowning man. He had to hold on tightly, as if he would drown if he lost it.

Not everyone could bear the depression of turning from a genius to a waste. As the saying goes, it was easy to go from frugality to extravagance, and difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. If one was always at the bottom, even if one was dissatisfied with their current life, they could still make do with it.

However, once a person stepped on the mountain peak and saw the scenery there, it would be very difficult to go down the mountain again.

Ye Fan was in such a situation now. If there was nothing to support his will, he might really become a walking corpse.

After Wu Qingce finished his report, Jiang Beiran asked, “Do you know what to do next?”

Thinking of the green silk pouch that Brother Qinghuan gave him, Wu Qingce cupped his hands and said, “Don’t worry, Brother Jiang. I know what to do now.”

“Oh?”

Jiang Beiran was quite surprised to hear this answer. After all, if it were any other time, Wu Qingce would definitely reply, “Please teach me, Brother Jiang.”.

“You’re finally willing to use your own brain.” Jiang Beiran thought happily.

Jiang Beiran patted Wu Qingce’s shoulder in relief and said, “Alright. I look forward to your performance.”

After saying that, he disappeared in front of Wu Qingce.

After waiting for a while, after confirming that his senior brother had left, Wu Qingce planned to take out the silk pouch. But in the end, he changed his mind.

“I’d better go back to my room and watch him secretly.”
