Chapter 91: Trying to fool Lin Xiaoxiao, but the outcome is hard to salvage!

Many thanks, Sect Master.

The Xuanmo Patriarch became excited at once.

“Sect Master, we will capture Heavenly Martial Academy right away,” the others echoed excitedly.

“Hold on.”

Mu Yuntian raised his hand to stop them and said gravely, “A few days ago we already tested the strength of Heavenly Martial Academy’s barrier; if we force our way in again, the losses will be huge.”

“Sect Master Mu is right,” the Xuanmo Patriarch added as something occurred to him, “that kid’s own strength is mediocre, but he carries a deadly weapon, and Heavenly Martial Academy’s foundation is not shallow; we cannot act rashly or we will pay dearly.”

Seeing that the Xuanmo Patriarch had not been blinded by rage, Mu Yuntian nodded with satisfaction, then flicked his sleeve and said, “Send men to station near Heavenly Martial Academy; as soon as anyone comes out, kill them if you can, capture them if you must, and trap them like turtles in a jar!”

“Yes, sir.”

The group of powerhouses accepted the order and left.

Elsewhere.

Achoo~

Qin Yu sneezed hard.

He rubbed his nose and said excitedly, “I haven’t even led them to any chance encounters yet; they just agreed to train with me and they’re already thinking about me?”

When he thought of the 10 Inner Sect disciples he had just roped in, now gathered together and looking forward to the upcoming training, Qin Yu couldn’t help but grin.

The plan had gone far too smoothly this time.

If he could lead these people to a bit of fortune, he believed that in the future these 10 would become his core.

That way he would secure a foothold in the academy.

With this expectation in mind, Qin Yu hurried off to find Lin Yueyao…

The girl was the one he most wanted to recruit.

But after learning of Qin Yu’s plan, Lin Yueyao rejected it outright: “I’m not going!”

“Why not, Yueyao?” Qin Yu felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him and hurriedly said, “This is a rare opportunity… please think about it!”

“What rare opportunity?” Lin Yueyao frowned. “Don’t you know the Xusheng Realm is dangerous? We have to stay in the academy to stay alive right now.”

“But as the saying goes, fortune favors the bold!”

Unwilling to give up, Qin Yu continued to persuade her, “Precisely because the Xusheng Realm is dangerous, if we do what others dare not, we can gain opportunities they can’t!”

Lin Yueyao remained unmoved. “You’re unreliable, and I’m not going.”

“No… how am I unreliable?”

“You ask why you’re unreliable?” At the mention of this, Lin Yueyao grew angry. “Back then you told me that if I helped you put on an act, you could make Ning Bei value me, but what happened? I was mocked in public instead, and now I don’t dare believe you at all.”

“I…”

Qin Yu was left speechless.

He recalled that earlier he had publicly declared he would fight Ning Bei for Lin Yueyao; in theory any hot-blooded man would have been enraged… and would have felt humiliated.But Ning Bei had played by no rules at all and simply asked for wedding money.

“Yueyao, last time was an accident… don’t you think so too?” Qin Yu pressed on, “But this time is different; I’m 100% sure. Even if you don’t trust me, 10 Inner Sect disciples are going with us… don’t you trust their judgment?”

“Fine, even if you think they’re fools too,” Qin Yu added, “this time my godfather will escort us, so you really don’t need to worry about danger.”

Surprise flashed across Lin Yueyao’s face. “That many people are going out to train with you?”

“Of course.”

Seeing her waver, Qin Yu hurriedly said, “Hiding in Heavenly Martial Academy is safe, but that safety is temporary; whether we survive in the end depends on our own strength. If we stay complacent now, we’ll die from future threats. Especially you, Yueyao… you should seize this training opportunity.”

“Why?”

“Think about it: why did Ning Bei choose Qin Jiujiu instead of you?” A lightbulb lit in Qin Yu’s mind as he sowed discord. “In looks and figure, are you any worse than she is?”

“I…”

Lin Yueyao fell silent.

In her heart she didn’t think she would lose to Qin Jiujiu.

Before Qin Yu could continue, she spoke up, “You mean… Ning Bei chose her because of her strength?”

“How could it be otherwise?”

Qin Yu said solemnly, “Haven’t you noticed how snobbish Ning Bei is? Just because Qin Jiujiu’s talent is higher, he could throw away all the years of feelings he had for you. As you said, if you only try to please him, you will never keep his heart… Only by growing stronger can you make him cherish you, right?”

…..

Lin Yueyao pressed her lips together.

She felt Qin Yu’s argument made a lot of sense.

After all, in terms of looks she didn’t lose to Qin Jiujiu, and she and Ning Bei had a foundation of feelings…

So why hadn’t Ning Bei chosen her?

If it wasn’t due to external factors, it had to be about strength.

“But…”

Although Lin Yueyao was somewhat shaken, she still kept her wits and asked worriedly, “Qin Yu, are you sure it’s safe for us to train outside now?”

“Relax, my godfather and I will keep you safe.”

Qin Yu hastily promised.

In his view, Lin Yueyao’s growing indifference toward him mainly stemmed from how many times he had let her down.

He desperately needed a chance to prove himself to Lin Yueyao!

This training trip was the perfect opportunity; back then he had earned Lin Yueyao’s regard with a single hero-saves-beauty move.

That was why he was so keen to persuade the girl to join the expedition.

Under Qin Yu’s coaxing, Lin Yueyao finally compromised. “But… I still have an uneasy feeling.”

“Yueyao, that’s anticipation,” Qin Yu kept persuading. “You’re picturing the opportunities you’ll gain outside and how Ning Bei will look at you with new eyes!”

“It does… it really does feel like that.”

Lin Yueyao instantly broke into a bright smile.

So she agreed.

With so many Inner Sect disciples training together and an Inner Sect elder escorting them, there shouldn’t be too much danger anyway.

On the other side.

Holding the spiritual materials he had taken from the treasure vault, Ning Bei quickly refined more than 100 pills with the Muggle Alchemy Furnace.

“This pill furnace is amazing!”

At that moment Lin Xiaoxiao’s voice sounded in his mind.

Ning Bei paused. “Amazing? Surely you look down on something this low-grade?”

“Not at all!” Lin Xiaoxiao denied. “Although it’s not a divine artifact, it’s still a very rare treasure.”

“Oh?” Ning Bei’s eyes lit up and he asked expectantly, “Then do you like it?”

“Mm… a little.”

“If you like it, I can trade with you,” Ning Bei said with a racing heart and a smile. “Your Seven-Star Beads can also refine pills… do you want to swap?”
