Soaring of Galaxia

Although Qin Wushuang preferred to keep developing with a low-profile, he knew clearly that a man should not be unwilling to push their responsibilities to others. If he were to blindly cower back, it would be an act of not willing to shoulder the responsibility. Therefore, he decided to take the bull by its horns.

Regardless of the result, this would be a challenge for him.

Although Qin Wushuang woke up early, he didn’t expect that Qin Lan would be awake even earlier. When he saw Qin Wushuang, Qin Lan greeted him with all smiles. "Wushuang, yesterday you were so cool."

Qin Wushuang had a good impression of Qin Lan. At least under yesterday’s situation when Qin Lan did not hide, it proved that he had strength of character.

Revealing a light smile, he said, "It’s not me being cool, but because they were too wretched."

Qin Lan chuckled and walked closer to him with the intent to win his favor as he said, "Wushuang, yesterday I contacted some of the foreign disciples and we all exchanged some ideas."

"What?" Qin Wushuang frowned slightly. He had guessed to some extent of what this Qin Lan wanted to say; however, he was not very interested to such things.

"It’s like this, now there are a few cliques at the Ascending Dragon Slope. Us disciples from the foreign branches are being crowded out. Therefore, everyone thought it’s necessary to establish a clique of all the branch disciples. You see..."

For your information, disciples from the branch were truly at a somewhat sullen state at the Ascending Dragon Slope. However, Qin Wushuang disliked cliques extremely. This time, he had set up a a battle date with Qin Shaohong for he had come from a starting point to break such fixed cliques.

When considering the long-term development of the entire Qin Clan, such closed and conservative cliques would not work in favor of the long term development of the Qin Clan. It could even become the clan’s burden.

"Qin Lan, I understand all of your feelings." Qin Wushuang did not get angry as he explained patiently, "However, there is only one Qin Clan. If disciples of the Qin Clan form their own cliques due to personal feelings, the future of the Qin Clan will be quickly. Qin Lan, a man must rely on his own strength. Whatever cliques there may be, groups are not reliable. The Qin Clan has been able to stand tall for ten thousand years at the Heavenly Emperor Mountain for it absolutely had not relied on cliques and petty-minds. The Qin clan only has one kind of strength of character, that would be unity. We must never let internal strife become the main melody of the Qin Clan! Therefore, for your suggestion, not only will I not support it, I will despise it. Do you understand when I put it this way?"

Qin Lan was agape and tongue-tied. Clearly, he had never expected Qin Wushuang would speak such words. For the time being, he felt somewhat embarrassed as he opened his mouth widely, but was unable to utter a single word.

"Wushuang... You... Ah!" Qin Lan gave a long sigh. "It’s not strange. Since you are so strong, you can completely be aloof like Senior Brother Qin Taichong. You don’t need any cliques."

Upon seeing that Qin Lan still did not comprehend his implied meanings, Qin Wushuang shook his head hopelessly. It seems the atmosphere of the Ascending Dragon Slope has had a real impact on people. This would be extremely difficult to change in a short period of time.

"Alright, don’t say anything else. Prepare yourself, soon we will be going to gather at the Upright Morality Hall."

"Going to the Upright Morality Hall?" Qin Lan blinked. "You... Wasn’t Qin Shaohong going to battle with you?"

"Yes, battle, but not here." Qin Wushuang looked to the far distance leisurely. Indeed, at this moment, all core disciples had received the announcement to gather from their communication jade plates.

After Qin Lan received it, he looked at Qin Wushuang with astonishment. "Wushuang, how did you know that we would be gathering?"

"Qin Lan, if you want to know the reason, then work hard to improve your strength. When you are able to stand out from the core disciples and no longer possess such a backwards concept of cliques, perhaps you will understand."

Qin Lan looked at Qin Wushuang with half an understanding gaze. He felt that this Qin Wushuang was truly too mysterious. A form of deep admiration surged up from the bottom of his heart.

"Let’s go," Qin Wushuang called out and left nimbly.

Being muddleheaded, Qin Lan followed him with a thoughtful look.

At the Upright Morality Hall, one after another the core disciples gathered. The level of this gathering was incredibly high for all core disciples must be present.

This time, Qin Wushuang observed intentionally. Indeed as Qin Lan had spoke, two or three core disciples all had cliques. The core disciples of the same clique gathered together with an unconscious mind.

Qin Wushuang observed that in total, five of them appeared extremely popular. These five just happen to be at the Perfect Void Martial Stage and were the five that stood out the most from the core disciples.

Qin Wushuang had swapped pointers with four of them. They were Qin Shaohong, Qin Hao, Qin Xi, and Qin Hongyan. The other one was not part of Qin Shaohong’s team on that day.

The name of this person was Qin Zhining. He appeared to be unconventional. However, it did not affect his popularity in the slightest. Next to him, the number of core disciples that gathered had even surpassed Qin Shaohong.

This Qin Zhining had a slime body, yet he gave people the sensation of being fresh and cool. The only flaw was that the temperament of this person was somewhat cold. He seemed to be inharmonious to the others when comparing him to others.

However, Qin Wushuang had the best feeling towards this Qin Zhining. Of course, the main reason was that Qin Zhining did not participate in Qin Shaohong’s scandals.

As these five had arrived, plus Qin Wushuang, the six of them were truly the focus among all core disciples. Of course, the greatest character of focus among the core disciples had not arrived.

"It’s strange, today is not the promised day for the gathering, why were we called?"

The majority of the core disciples did not have a good information system as they asked around.

"Who knows? Maybe something important is about to happen."

"Ha ha, you are all outsiders, right? Did you not hear? Senior Brother Qin Shaohong challenged Qin Wushuang, the person that has just recently arrived. The two of them established a life and death battle!"

Like a heavyweight bomb, this news had spread across the entire Upright Morality Hall instantly. Now, as the Honored Warriors and Elders were not present, these core disciples discussed without the slightest hesitation.

Clearly, these core disciples enjoyed lively activities. The dry and dull training of their every day made them incredibly sensitive to all forms of gossip. Upon hearing someone was going to conduct a life and death battle, their mood was instantly lifted.

"Senior Brother Qin Shaohong? Is he stepping out?"

"Of course. Tsk tsk. When a Perfect Void Martial Stage steps out, it will be a pageant. This time, most likely the Chief would value it greatly. The teacher of Senior Brother Shaohong is Honored Warrior Zhi Huai, an extremely powerful man."

"Won’t that Qin Wushuang have a tragic ending?"

"Ah, say that Qin Wushuang, how long has it been since his arrival at the Aspiring Throne Mountain? How come he has been involved in a conflict with Senior Brother Shaohong? Does he not have the ability to make discerning judgments?"

"In our Ascending Dragon Slope, besides Senior Brother Qin Taichong, even Senior Brother Qin Zhining might not even win against Senior Brother Qin Shaohong, right? I am afraid this Qin Wushuang will truly lose face this time."

"You say that Qin Wushuang really enjoys to cause trouble. A guy from the human countries just had to anger Senior Brother Qin Shaohong with no reason. He is looking for trouble."

"That’s hard to say. Since we don’t know the inside grudge, it’s hard to say who was the one that sought trouble."

"In fact, that Qin Wushuang seemed to be great at making troubles, or else he would not have fought with the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect."

"That’s not how you would say it. The Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect bullies people, it’s reasonable for Qin Wushuang to fight back. This would not count as causing trouble, right? Besides, Senior Brother Qin Shaohong is such a domineering figure. If he did not bully others, how could others dare to bully him? It’s hard to know the inside story."

These core disciples all had own opinions and ideas. In general, more had felt sorry for Qin Wushuang.

Clearly, they had heard how Qin Wushuang dealt with the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect. However, don’t believe what people tell you until you see it yourself. They had never seen Qin Wushuang’s actions and were clueless of his exact power. On the other hand, many people had witnessed Qin Shaohong’s strength.

Therefore, regardless of who had caused the trouble, everyone’s general feelings were that there was a great difference between Qin Wushuang and Qin Shaohong. After all, Qin Shaohong had the strength of the Perfect Void Martial Stage.

Naturally, Qin Wushuang would not be boring to the extent to take these discussions to heart. He only acted as if a breeze had brushed pass his ear and did not let it bother him.

Now, his heart was as calm as the water. To him, such personal grudges were of little significance and as tiny as the sea same seed. Naturally, he would not care too much.

Qin Lan mixed with the core disciples from the foreign branch, but one did not know what they were discussing. From time to time, the disciples from the foreign branch would shoot their glance towards Qin Wushuang’s place.

They would only shoot a glance and turn away immediately if he caught their glance. Clearly, they did not wish for Qin Wushuang to catch their eyes. This Qin Wushuang had already become intimidating inside their hearts.

Just as everyone was bustled with discussion and assumptions, the sound of footsteps emerged from outside. Groups of Elders entered the hall. Immediately after them, the twelve great Honored Warriors also arrived in succession.

A young man with a forthright body had also come in together with the twelve Honored Warrior. This person had an innocent appearance and seemed dull.

However, as soon as all the core disciples saw this person, all of them revealed an admired expression.

"Senior Brother Taichong!"

"Senior Brother Taichong is here."

Each of them called out. This forthright guy was Qin Taichong. He had a square face and could unleash power even without being in a state of anger. Upon hearing everyone’s greeting, he laughed expansively. "You are all here."

As Qin Wushuang was in the middle of a situation where people were discussing him as a core disciple, Qin Taichong did not make it back for he was too far-away. This was his first time seeing Qin Taichong. As he saw this person had an out of the ordinary composure, a majestic manner and impressive appearance, he also nodded inwardly. This Qin Taichong is a good man.

Qin Taichong laughed straightforwardly and walked towards Qin Wushuang. He asked full of warmth, "You must be Junior Brother Qin Wushuang, right?"

"Senior Brother Taichong, I have been looking forward to meeting you for a long time." Qin Wushuang did not dare to neglect. He had a very good impression of Qin Taichong.

Qin Taichong patted Qin Wushuang’s shoulder and said while recognizing his worth, "Good brother, I’ve heard about your story. Nice job. Return, let’s all go ask for drinks from the Second Chief, ha ha ha."

After he finished, he pulled Qin Wushuang’s arm and roared with laughter. "Come, sit with me."

Qin Taichong had a straightforward personality. With each of his movements, he made it clear he was the eldest brother. Although his invitation appeared somewhat crude, it did not seem to be impolite. When letting people consider his offer, he would not impose himself on them.

Unexpectedly, Qin Taichong’s action had enlightened the mind of a group of core disciples. All of them had nothing in common with each other for they were all filled with complex feelings.
