Chapter 335: Chapter 335: Gathering Together

Soon, under Qin Fei’s lead, the four of them arrived at a tavern.

"Xiao Fei, what happened to you?"

Upon entering the private room, Brother Qin Shi’s gaze immediately fell on Qin Fei’s face, asking with a tense expression.

This Qin Fei is his younger brother.

Although he was usually strict in disciplining Qin Fei, seeing his little brother injured softened his heart as an elder brother.

Hearing the question, Qin Fei quickly moved to Brother Qin Shi’s side, pointing at Ling Chen, his voice carrying a crying tone, "Brother, he hit me!"

"Hmm?"

Brother Qin Shi’s gaze sharpened, turning toward Ling Chen.

Qin Fei also glared at Ling Chen with a resentful face, only to discover that the latter didn’t care in the slightest and was smiling brilliantly.

"You brat, kneel down!"

Qin Fei coldly stared at Ling Chen.

With Brother Qin Shi backing him up, he could finally stand tall and wash away the humiliation he just experienced.

"Slap!"

However, no sooner had he finished speaking, his right cheek was met with another slap.

"Brother, why did you hit me?"

Qin Fei said with incredulity.

He’d understand if his brother didn’t avenge him, but why would he strike him?

"Kneel down and apologize to Young Master Ling!"

Brother Qin Shi commanded coldly.

He knew his little brother’s temperament all too well.

He was always causing trouble.

He hadn’t expected that this time, he would provoke Ling Chen.

This was Ling Chen!

The man who dared to slay Jiang Wusheng!

And behind him stood none other than the top-notch powerhouse, Arrow God Liu Qingcang!

Seeing Qin Fei unmoved, Brother Qin Shi kicked his calf, and with his legs buckling, Qin Fei knelt to the ground with a "thump."

"Young Master Ling, it is due to the Qin Family’s lack of discipline in teaching our children. Please accept our apology!"

Brother Qin Shi bowed deeply, speaking with utmost respect.

With Ling Chen’s abilities, even if he killed Qin Fei, the Qin Family might not dare seek retribution.

With a peerless expert like Arrow God Liu Qingcang as his master, aside from the members of the Royal Family, Ling Chen would not fear anyone.

"Young Master Qin, you are too polite."

Ling Chen smiled faintly and said, "Your brother repeatedly provoked me, and I merely administered some discipline. You don’t mind, do you?"

Brother Qin Shi immediately replied, "Not at all, my brother is at Young Master’s disposal!"

Kneeling by the side, Qin Fei finally realized the dreadfulness of the person he offended.

Even Brother Qin Shi was so respectful to this man. Surely, he is no ordinary genius!

"Bang!"

Qin Fei’s head heavily knocked on the ground as he loudly said, "This junior was blind and offended Young Master. I am at your disposal, Young Master."

Seeing this, Brother Qin Shi let out a sigh of relief.

Sure enough, he heard Ling Chen chuckle, "Get up. As I said before, for Brother Qin Shi’s sake, I’ll let you off."

"Thank you for Young Master’s great kindness!"

Qin Fei kowtowed once more.

Brother Qin Shi also looked at Ling Chen and smiled, "Thank you, Young Master."

"It’s nothing."

Ling Chen waved his hand dismissively.

Brother Qin Shi gestured for Qin Fei to leave and then smiled at Ling Chen, "When did Young Master Ling arrive in King City?"

"A few days ago."

Ling Chen smiled.

"Then why didn’t Young Master notify me? As your host, I would have loved to entertain you."

Brother Qin Shi laughed.

"There was no big issue, so I didn’t want to trouble Young Master Qin. I intended to stroll around King City and was going to inform you when I was ready to report to the Academic Palace."

Ling Chen said.

Brother Qin Shi nodded and said, "Young Master Ling, don’t be courteous. Are you still staying at a nearby inn? Why not check out and stay at the Qin Family for a few days? That way, I can also take you around King City."

Ling Chen shook his head and stated, "There’s no need for that. We have been wandering around for a couple of days and plan to report to the Academic Palace in the next few days. When will Young Master Qin be going?"

"Anytime."

Brother Qin Shi smiled, "Since you’re here, let’s go together! Just let me know when you’re ready to leave."

"Okay."

Ling Chen nodded.

"Are you two going to visit Zi Lingyang at Purple Mansion today?"

Qin Shi asked again.

They were very close to the Purple Mansion, and he knew that Ling Chen and Zi Lingyang had a close relationship. "Indeed."

Ling Chen nodded and said, "It’s just that Young Master Lingyang is in seclusion and couldn’t be seen. We only visited Miss Zi Ling’er."

Qin Shi laughed and said, "Hmm, Zi Lingyang must be in seclusion preparing for the enrollment examination! I heard Miss Zi Ling’er has also advanced to a high-grade Divine Thought Master?"

"Correct."

Ling Chen nodded.

"Miss Zi Ling’er indeed has a strong Divine Soul talent, but still not comparable to Young Master Ling!"

Qin Shi laughed.

His eyes revealed a hint of envy.

Whether it’s talent in Spirit Art or Divine Soul, Ling Chen is truly remarkable.

Even in terms of Spiritual Power Cultivation, Ling Chen’s strength at his age is also very formidable.

"Young Master Qin, you jest. I’m just luckier than most."

Ling Chen said with a smile.

Advancing to a high-grade Divine Thought Master would not be possible without the help of the Immortal Fruit.

If he hadn’t consumed it, his advancement might not have been assured!

Qin Shi laughed and said, "Young Master Ling, you’re too modest. By the way, Young Master Xu Lin will arrive in King City tomorrow. Shall we get together then?"

"Sure."

Ling Chen nodded.

Qin Shi smiled and said, "I guess you haven’t informed Miss Su Su about your arrival in King City, right?"

"No."

Ling Chen nodded.

"Well, then. Let me arrange tomorrow’s event. Consider it a welcoming party for you both. The six of us new students should get together and then report to the Academic Palace together."

Qin Shi smiled.

...

The next day at noon.

Listening Rain Pavilion.

The largest tavern in King City.

The location that Qin Shi had chosen for the gathering was here.

Inside a private room on the third floor.

Ling Chen, Ling Wu, Ye Zhenzhen, Qin Shi, Su Su, and Xu Lin, six people, were seated around a wooden table.

The six were the exempt students from Xingxue Academic Palace.

Lin Xiaodu did not come along but stayed in the inn to continue her cultivation.

Qin Shi stood up, raised his cup, and looked towards Ling Chen and the others: "Welcome Young Master Ling, Miss Ling, Young Master Xu, and Miss Ye to King City."

"Thank you both for hosting us."

The four from Ling Chen’s group said in unison.

After that, everyone enjoyed fine wine and food, chatting and laughing merrily.

During the meal, Su Su looked at Ling Chen and asked, "Did Miss Lin not come?"

She was naturally referring to Lin Xiaodu.

Since last time, after obtaining the toxins from Lin Xiaodu, she had delved deeply into researching them for a long time.

She discovered that Lin Xiaodu’s toxins were almost as potent as her own Heavenly Poison.

However, the toxins from last time had all been used up, so much so that she couldn’t continue her research.

"Oh, she’s here."

Ling Chen nodded, "Currently, she’s in seclusion, preparing for the enrollment examination."

"She’s here?"

A gleam of surprise flashed in Su Su’s beautiful eyes.

With Lin Xiaodu present, she could always exchange more toxins for research.

As a master engrossed in the study of poisons, she was naturally delighted at the sight of rare toxins.

"When Miss Lin comes out of seclusion, please, Young Master Ling, make sure to tell me!"

Su Su hurriedly said.

"Of course."

Ling Chen nodded.

Clearly, Lin Xiaodu with her artificially created Heavenly Poison Body, held great appeal for Su Su.

However, the toxins presently in Lin Xiaodu’s body are no longer the same as before and have already integrated with the true Heavenly Poison.
