Chapter 239: Chapter 238, Are you willing to become the Sect Leader of the Life-Seeking Sect?

Ye Qingxin’s face turned pale green, a surge of overwhelming anger rising in her heart.

But upon second thought,

The term "friends with benefits" seemed more polite than "bed-warming maid."

Although it still didn’t sound too great,

At least, their relationship could be considered as "friends."

Xu Wendong took a puff of his cigarette, "Since you have no objections, from now on we will become friends with benefits. I’ll help you break through your shackles, stepping into the realm of Grandmaster, perhaps even Great Grandmaster."

"Then you can personally deal with Ye Gucheng!"

"Thank you!" Ye Qingxin expressed her gratitude.

She was very grateful to Xu Wendong for giving her the opportunity to personally deal with Ye Gucheng.

"Come on, come on, collect all these people’s phones and wallets. I need to start transferring the money!" Xu Wendong was in high spirits, immediately picking up those people’s phones.

Ye Qingxin was dumbfounded.

A dignified cultivator, yet was so short on cash?

And wanted to take money from the dead?

------

An hour later, Xu Wendong left Azure Dragon Mountain with Ye Qingxin, the extra hundred million in his bank account making him gloomy. He hadn’t expected this many people would only amount to a hundred million...

Descending the mountain, Xu Wendong said to Ye Qingxin, "I’ll give you a prescription. First, go to the county to gather herbs and wait for me there."

Ye Qingxin hesitated, unable to resist asking, "Aren’t you going to fire the cannon at me?"

She thought Xu Wendong would be eager to get her.

"Now is not the time to fire the cannon," Xu Wendong also wanted to fire the cannon at Ye Qingxin now.

However,

He had to exercise restraint.

For no other reason, as Ye Qingxin now possessed the strength of a first-rate master.

If he acquired her now, it would certainly improve his cultivation and might even break into the Qi Refinement Realm.

However, Xu Wendong clearly understood that if Ye Qingxin reached the Grandmaster-level, or even a Great Grandmaster, the benefits for him would be greater.

Therefore,

He wouldn’t rashly acquire Ye Qingxin.

He aimed to cultivate her into a Great Grandmaster.

After parting ways with Ye Qingxin, Xu Wendong walked towards the village. When he arrived at Elder Qin’s doorstep, he saw that the lights inside were still on.

An old radio was playing an opera.

Elder Qin was lying on a deck chair, sitting in the courtyard gazing at the stars.

Witnessing this scene, Xu Wendong walked in and cheerfully asked, "Elder, why are you still awake so late? You’re not waiting for this junior, are you?"

Elder Qin showed a benevolent smile, "You should know who I am by now, right?"

Xu Wendong nodded, exclaiming, "I never expected that in this small Qingshan Village, there would be such a big shot as you!"

A sect leader of an assassin organization with a history spanning thousands of years.

This identity was earth-shattering not just in a small village like Qingshan but across the vast nation.

Elder Qin sighed softly, "Over fifty years ago, I accepted someone’s challenge and ended up severely injured, wandering to Qingshan Village. The villagers here are simple and unsophisticated. They accepted my presence and even offered me much help."

"But you do not belong here," Xu Wendong said, handing back the Obsidian Ring, "This item should be returned to you."

"How many fifty years does a person have in a lifetime?" Elder Qin gazed quietly at the sky and said, "Although I have always wanted to know the past, it is only a desire to know."

"I want to know where I came from, where my roots are."

"But that does not mean I want to return to my roots."

"Even if I knew the past, my home is Number Fourteen, Qingshan Village. That’s my home according to my ID card."

"And it’s the home in my heart!"

"The Life-Seeking Sect Leader is nothing more than a dream to me now."

Xu Wendong said, "The Life-Seeking Sect nowadays has lost its former glory. You need to go back, reorganize the Life-Seeking Sect, and make it flourish."

"I’m tired!" Elder Qin’s face was full of fatigue. He was already in his twilight years, and regaining the past memories had left him physically and mentally exhausted.

Elder Qin, changing his tone, smiled and asked, "Wendong, don’t you think there’s some destiny between us?"

Xu Wendong laughed, "There certainly is a deep connection!"

He had been targeted, sent to Qingshan Village, and then publicly targeted by the Wanlong Association, which drew out the assassins from the Life-Seeking Sect. Although powerful, without drinking the Wandox Poison, he would have died from the toxins.

But fate worked in mysterious ways.

Before the assassins from Life-Seeking Sect showed up, he met Elder Qin, who made him drink the Wandox Poison...

A glimpse of brilliance flashed in Elder Qin’s old eyes, "Since there’s such fate between us, would you be willing to become the Sect Leader of the Life-Seeking Sect and help me reorganize it?"

Boom!

Those few simple words made Xu Wendong feel as if struck by lightning, goosebumps rising all over his body.

"Elder, are you joking with me?" Xu Wendong exclaimed in shock, "How can a junior like me become the Sect Leader of the Life-Seeking Sect? How could I earn everyone’s respect?"

Elder Qin, unfazed, replied, "Though young, your skills are exceptional. If I’m not mistaken, the Life-Seeking Sect must have deployed many people tonight to seize the Obsidian Ring, right?"

Xu Wendong, "They sent eighty-six people, including twenty first-rate masters."

Elder Qin couldn’t hide his sorrow, "First-rate masters are rare. Even for an organization like the Life-Seeking Sect, there are only a few dozen. Losing so many in one night has never happened before."

"They are to blame for choosing the wrong side."

"They betrayed the Life-Seeking Sect!"

He slowly stood up, "Wendong, you are now involved in the martial world, and you should know that in learning, there is no fixed order, but those who achieve mastery first. The martial world is harsh, a place where the strong are respected, and the fittest survive."

"It’s full of bloodshed and deceit."

"Though young, you possess an honest heart and unparalleled strength."

"I can think of no one more suitable to become the Sect Leader of the Life-Seeking Sect."

"I hope you can help this old man reorganize the Life-Seeking Sect," he said, bowing to Xu Wendong.

"Elder, you mustn’t, you mustn’t!" Xu Wendong quickly helped him up, looking troubled, "Elder, I’m very grateful you see this junior as worthy."

"But this junior never considered becoming the Sect Leader of the Life-Seeking Sect, nor do I have the energy to assist in reorganizing it!"

With a sigh, he said, "Elder, I won’t hide it from you, I’m burdened with a deep blood feud, and my enemies are very powerful, so powerful that I don’t dare face them yet."

"How can I talk of helping you reorganize the Life-Seeking Sect when I haven’t even avenged myself?"

"It’s not that this junior doesn’t want to help, but I’m truly beyond my abilities!"

Elder Qin couldn’t help but ask, "Could it be your enemies are from those super families in Jingdu?"

Xu Wendong, "Yes!"

Elder Qin laughed, "If that’s the case, then you should even more become the Sect Leader of the Life-Seeking Sect. This identity would bring you countless benefits."

Xu Wendong was utterly stupefied!

Indeed!

The Life-Seeking Sect with its millennia-long legacy, though now declined, still possessed deep reserves and many assassins.

If I could control this force, why would I fear not being able to avenge my blood feud?
