Chapter 127: The Strange Male Lead
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After the sect displayed their power to the father and son of the Bao Family, Lonemoon became more determined to teach the disciples in his sect how to cultivate properly. Each day, he brought the disciples to train at the arena. As they trained, they shouted encouragements in unison.
The aggressive and loud cheers spread throughout the entire sect, and especially into a certain palace wing.
Whenever the father and son of the Bao Family were faced with this scene, their faces became strangely green. After they found out that the Invincible Sect was filled with female body cultivators, their expressions became profoundly worse – there was a certain hopelessness in their eyes.
Father Niu went all out to kill any remnant of hope left in the father and son. The only thing difficult for them to explain was why their disciples all turned out to be body cultivators. What was obvious, though, was that the emotionally injured father and son had not thought too much about this. The disciples’ strength and skill continued to improve. What was most important was that they formed their immortal bones.
Six months had passed since the entire sect ascended to the immortal realm. Yu Hong and Siyu’s cultivations improved immensely and they certainly had hope of forming immortal bones. The other disciples did show signs of improvement, but their foundations were far too shaky and there was little hope of them forming their immortal bones.
They could only be counted as Earth Immortals after they formed their immortal bones. Lonemoon had to think of something quickly. Of course, he had to focus first on the problem concerning the male lead. No matter what, they could not get too close to this male lead – especially Yi Qing.
They were lucky that the child was still young. If he was not with his grandfather or father, the child will be taken care of by Yu Hong. He did not interact with Yi Qing at all.
“Master...” Yi Qing put down a plate of freshly cooked food. Uncharacteristically, instead of going back into the kitchen, he sat down at the table and looked at Shen Ying. “Could you tell these few days?”
“Er... not yet.” Shen Ying shook her head. “Wait a little longer!”
“I’m actually just guessing as well.” Yi Qing frowned. “There was nothing strange about that child these eight years. I must be thinking too much, right?”
“That might not be true,” Shen Ying said as she filled her mouth with two spoonfuls of food. Then, she continued, “I don’t know that many people.”
Yi Qing looked back at her in shock. “Master, you’re saying-”
“Don’t rush.”
“Yes.”
“Wait!” Lonemoon interrupted, his face twisted. “What are you talking about? Why don’t I understand anything?” Were they just talking about Ning Zi’an? They must have been!
“We’re talking about the identity of the male lead!” Shen Ying answered.
“What identity?” Lonemoon pondered. Wasn’t it Bao Feiping’s son? Who else could be the male lead?
“Huh? Didn’t I tell you?” Shen Ying scratched her head, confused. “The other day, when Chef was helping him remove his Primordial Soul Sword Qi, he found something special in his body.”
“...” When did you freaking tell me this? How the hell would I have found out?
Lonemoon suddenly felt an other-worldly grievance.
“What exactly is going on?”
“Chef, tell him.” Shen Ying continued to eat her food.
“Yes, Master!” Yi Qing nodded and turned to Lonemoon. “The other day, when I helped him get rid of his Primordial Soul Sword Qi, I found his sword Qi in a mess but it was not beyond repair. At first, I thought it was due to him still being young and did not yet know how to suppress his sword Qi. But after using my immortal Qi to get rid of the sword Qi, I stumbled into his dantian exceptionally smoothly – no resistance whatsoever. This is very unusual.”
Lonemoon pondered over this. After awhile, he understood. “You’re saying... even if he did not know how to suppress his sword Qi, there should have been some sort of natural resistance when your immortal Qi entered his dantian, even if he did not yet know the proper technique to resist? And if he did know how to suppress his sword Qi, it would not be exploding randomly?”
“That’s right,” Yi Qing confirmed.. “Not only that, when I was getting rid of his sword Qi, I felt him co-operating with my efforts even though he was unconscious. There was no resistance from his body at all. At least, not until my immortal Qi accidentally swept past his divine perception.
Then, a huge resistance formed. All of the sword Qi seemed to stir within him resulting in his sword Qi invading my body and injuring me.”
Lonemoon’s heart jumped. “Could there be a problem with his primordial spirit?”
“I don’t know!” Yi Qing shook his head. “At the time, I was so focused on suppressing the sword Qi that I did not bother to take a closer look. I only felt a searing and chilling pain that shot straight to my bones. After that, when I thought of inspecting his divine perception again, I could not find it. That was why I asked Master to help me look out for any differences in the child.” The immortal realm was different from the mortal realm. If someone had messed around with his primordial spirit, his grandfather and father would definitely have been able to tell.
“Shit!” Lonemoon could not help but curse. The male lead was indeed not simple. “This is such an important matter, why didn’t you tell me earlier?”
“You didn’t ask!”
“Then why did you tell Shen Ying?” You would not tell if we don’t ask, right?
“She’s my master.” Of course I’d tell her.
“...” Motherf*cker!
He was the only one who was considered trash in Invincible Sect, wasn’t he?
“Anyway, the demon invasion might not be the only reason why the child’s Primordial Soul Sword Qi is acting up,” Yi Qing said. “There must be some other reason. I just don’t know if Bao Yi and Bao Feiping have any clue what this other reason might be.”
The more Lonemoon listened to Yi Qing, the more troubled he felt. No mention of this could be found in the novel. By the time Ning Zi’an made his appearance in the novel, he had become strong and reputable. He was portrayed as a good guy. Nothing was mentioned about how special his identity was. Later, he even became a Celestial Emperor. Could it be that Lonemoon missed out on some important detail?
“Whatever! They’re only going to stay here for a few more days anyway,” Lonemoon said, waving his hands in frustration. “Just remember. Cherish your life and stay away from the male lead! Stay as far away from him as you can. Don’t have anything to do with this man called Ning Zi’an.”
Before he could finish, Shen Ying’s expression changed. She set down her bowl quickly and stood up.
“What are you doing?” Lonemoon jumped. This was the first time he was seeing her this nervous. “What’s happening?”
“We don’t have time!”
“What?” He did not have time to react. Suddenly, a loud crashing sound came from behind him. Something black flew up toward the sky. The entire air was filled with a thick demonic Qi, covering the sky atop the Invincible Sect.
Demonic Qi! Why was there demonic Qi in Invincible Sect?
“It’s coming from Chang Qing Hall in the west!” Lonemoon zeroed in on the source of this demonic Qi in shock. “That’s where the Bao Family is staying!”Why is it coming from there?
“Chef, let’s go!” Shen Ying turned around and rushed toward the hall.
“Wait!” Lonemoon reacted quickly and grabbed Shen Ying. “You’re crazy! The demonic Qi is so formidable and you’re thinking of rushing over to rescue people?” Furthermore, their disciples were training in the arena, not that hall.
“Who says I’m going to rescue people?”
“Then you-”
“My seafood is being laid out to dry over there!” She brought so much big seafood home the last time and they were all there. “Chef, save the goods!”
“Yes Master, no problem Master!”
Lonemoon: “...” Son of a b*tch!
