Chapter 90: The protagonist sold his mother at home, and the blame dropped from the heavens.

System: “???”

“500 million, 500 million is fine too.”

Ning Bei backed down and slashed the price by half.

The system still kept silent…

First, it dared not take that thing, fearing it might perish someday.

Second, it really dared not take that thing, fearing it might perish someday.

Third, it truly could not take that thing, fearing it might perish someday.

….

Seeing that the loan would not be approved, Ning Bei felt somewhat disappointed; he had planned to borrow 1 billion Revenge Points and leverage them a few more times to amass wealth.

That way he would have become invincible.

It seemed plans could never keep up with changes.

For the moment, however, Ning Bei did not forget the main business… saving someone!

“Miss Lin, how exactly can I save the Grand Preceptor?”

As soon as Ning Bei finished speaking, a girl’s secret voice echoed in his mind: “Just use the Seven-Star Beads and silently recite….”

After receiving the instructions, Ning Bei rushed off to find the elder without delay.

Sure enough, exactly as the girl had said, Wuyue was already at the end of his rope, his breath feeble, hanging on by a single thread.

He had driven Ning Bei away earlier, presumably because he did not want the latter to worry.

Ning Bei had no time for words; he followed Lin Xiaoxiao’s method to treat the elder, and in an instant a streak of holy light shot out from the Seven-Star Beads…..

The moment that light touched the elder’s brow, vigorous life immediately surged through him.

Ning Bei stood there dumbfounded.

A man who was on the verge of death a second ago looked full of vitality the next?

This was way too awesome.

And he had not spent the slightest effort; it truly deserved to be called a divine artifact!

So much so that Wuyue, who had planned to pass away quietly, opened his eyes and exclaimed, “As expected of the reincarnation of a Great Emperor!”

“Brat, you are really amazing.”

Hearing that, Ning Bei gave a wry smile. “Old man, if this happens again, you must tell me; stop shouldering it alone.”

“Sigh.”

Wuyue let out a bitter sigh, shook his head, and said, “I am useless now. Ever since we arrived in the Xusheng Realm….. I cannot even protect the academy.”

“Who says that?” Ning Bei retorted at once. “We have not lost a single person from our academy; is that not good protection? I imagine Qitian Academy and the Prince’s estate are in far worse shape than we are.”

“…..”

Wuyue smiled, patted Ning Bei’s shoulder, and said, “Brat, stop comforting me. In the future the Heavenly Martial Academy….. can only rely on you.”

After a moment of silence, Ning Bei asked, “Who hurt you?”

Wuyue took a deep breath. “A group calling themselves the Divine Will Sect. They are not top-tier in the Xusheng Realm, but they have many experts of the Void Refining Realm….. To us from the Cangxuan Continent, that is an unbridgeable chasm… at least for now!”

The Cangxuan Continent had once produced Void Refining cultivators, but that was several thousand years ago.

Nowadays the ceiling of power on the Cangxuan Continent was the Divine Transformation Realm, yet when they arrived in the Xusheng Realm they discovered that Divine Transformation cultivators were everywhere; they were as common as dogs!

“Divine Will Sect?”

Ning Bei quietly committed that name to memory.

After he left.

He went to the academy’s treasury first, fetched some resources, and planned to refine pills to raise the cultivation of himself, Qin Jiujiu, Wang Teng, and the others.

Strength had to come first, or they would not even have the ability to protect themselves in this world.

This scene happened to be witnessed by Qin Yu.

“Godfather, why didn’t the elder guarding the treasury stop Ning Bei?”

Qin Yu was dumbfounded.

The treasury was so strictly guarded that most elders could not enter it; every month a designated elder had to fetch the stipends for the disciples.

So why did Ning Bei stroll in as if it were his own backyard?

“Stop Ning Bei? Child, were you beaten silly?” Li Shen raised a brow and said, “Even if Ning Bei only went to grab some resources, or even if he set the treasury on fire, the Grand Preceptor would praise him for making such a blaze.”

“What?”

Qin Yu began to doubt life itself and muttered, “That is such a double standard.”

“Yu’er, that is simply the truth.”

Watching that imposing figure, Li Shen sighed with emotion. “After all, Ning Bei is the greatest prodigy in the academy’s history. The academy will have to rely on him in the future!”

As he spoke, he patted Qin Yu’s shoulder again. “But you need not be discouraged, because your talent on the sword path is equally outstanding. I, your godfather, believe that as long as you keep cultivating diligently, one day you will become someone like Ning Bei!”

“?”

Hearing that, Qin Yu’s face twisted with anger.

Damn, why should he work hard with Ning Bei as his role model?

In his plan, he should trample Ning Bei underfoot and wash away his disgrace.

“Godfather, I want to go out and temper myself. Can you help me?”

Qin Yu made a decision.

“Oh?”

Li Shen was surprised, yet he agreed.

After all, given the talent Qin Yu had shown, he wanted to leave his own mark on the latter’s path of growth.

By the way, he entertained another idea as well. “By the way, Yu’er, why don’t we use this trip to bring your mother back too?”

“Ah? Is… is that okay?”

“Don’t think too much. I just worry she is unsafe out there alone.”

“Ha~ Godfather…. you are such a good man.”

Qin Yu forced a smile, but his expression looked worse than crying.

Yet he could not refuse.

And so.

After finishing the discussion with Li Shen, Qin Yu went to select disciples.

He planned to take a few disciples out for training, since Ning Bei had risen by relying on a single expedition to elevate his standing in the academy.

He even recruited Wang Teng and the others as lackeys.

Since Ning Bei could do it, and he now had some strength, why could he not do the same?

Besides, Li Shen would provide protection on this trip, so he had to seize the chance to raise his status in the academy.

He hoped that in future quarrels someone would stand behind him and curse back at others, just as Wang Teng and the rest supported Ning Bei.

Just thinking about it made Qin Yu as excited as a dog that saw excrement.

In a daze, he already envisioned a future where he and Ning Bei stood as two equal pillars.

…

At this moment;

Divine Will Sect.

Faced with the sudden visit of a black-robed elder and the misfortune he recounted, Mu Yuntian, the sect master, narrowed his eyes and said:

“You say a teenager destroyed the Xuanmo Sect right in front of you?”

“Sect Master Mu, every word I speak is true!” the Xuanmo patriarch cried sadly. “That fellow is named Qin Yu, cruel and ruthless….. For years our Xuanmo Sect followed the Divine Will Sect’s lead, but now we face annihilation, so we beg Sect Master Mu to avenge us!”

Mu Yuntian’s expression grew solemn.

Those around them also broke into discussion.

“Qin Yu? I have never heard of such a monster before. Could he also have arrived recently from the Cangxuan Continent?”

“Very likely. Perhaps he belongs to the Heavenly Martial Academy.”

“So far only the Heavenly Martial Academy refuses to submit to us. In that case, we can settle both new and old grudges together.”

After the crowd finished their discussion, they all looked at the silent Mu Yuntian.

After all, they still awaited his decision.

“Qin Yu……” Mu Yuntian murmured the name, then his gaze turned icy: “That boy absolutely cannot be allowed to live!”
