Returning back to the Dong Clan, after thinking about it again, Lee Xun still called Tian Fen and the other three to his room.
"Listen to me, actually, it might not be a bad thing for you two to get together. If the two of you were to form groups by yourself, it was very likely that you would face the attacks of the other nineteen people first, because you are disciples of Tianshan Sword Sect, and the most important thing for this session of the tournament is the strength you all displayed. Think about it, if you had even the slightest bit of brains, you would join hands. If that was the case, the four of you would have no hope of advancing at all. Actually, right now, you should all be glad to be able to fight side by side with each other. " Although Tian Fen's words had hit the nail right on the head, although Tian Fen and the other three were not immediately happy, at least they were happy, and were no longer worried about the outcome of the battle, because whether or not the two would win against eighteen was still a big question. If they could fight one against one, then the odds of two versus nine would be slightly higher, but if they were surrounded by eighteen people at the same time, winning against them would be many times harder.
"Senior-apprentice Brother, do you think we can defeat the other eighteen people if we join hands?"
"Fen, it's useless thinking about this right now, because you don't even know the strength of the other eighteen people. The advice I can give you now is to disguise yourself when you encounter a group battle or show your weakness when the time comes. Perhaps, you will be pleasantly surprised. "
After dinner, Jin Xingtian came to the Dong Clan once again. Compared to the previous time, his face was bitter, and his face was glowing red. She was obviously in a very good mood.
"Lee Xun, you've struck it rich this time."
"Haha, Senior Jin, your difficulties have been solved, right?"
"Here is a million purple coins, we agreed upon it." As for your champion's prize, I'll let your elders personally take it. I believe you also won't be interested in those Protective Gear. "
"Senior Jin, don't you think it's a bit of a loss? I said I wouldn't take the money. Moreover, don't you think that your attitude towards me is a little too good? " Lee Xun seemed to have smelled a conspiracy again.
"This, haha, it is not convenient for me to say this now, but I really do not have any ill intentions towards you. Let me put it this way, we have already completely investigated the background of the Benlei Sword Sect. It's actually the Dou Family of the East Sea, the power of this family is simply unimaginable, and their ambition has grown even more in recent years. And this time you've ruined their plans, so perhaps you've brought about your own disaster. Consider this one million purple coins as my Jin Family in repaying them. Also, take this order badge and see it as if it was me. If you encounter any problems in the future, you can rely on this order badge to go to the nearest Jin Family Protective Gear store and ask for help. "
"Senior Jin, we have already completed our transaction. I am truly unable to accept your kind intentions." Lee Xun knew that if he took the order badge and a million gold coins, he would really be on a bandit ship. However, if you can tell me about this Dou Family, I won't be able to thank you enough. "
"Alright, I won't force my hand. Lee Xun, if you use my Jin Family in the future, come and find me at any time. When it comes to Dou Family, not only us, not many people in the entire Sword Soul Continent truly understand it, they only know that the strength of this Dou Family is comparable to the three great super Sword Sect. This time, there were also people who helped out secretly to provide information for our Jin Family. Otherwise, it would not be so easy for me to find out that our Benlei Sword Sect was backed up by Dou Family. "
"So you're saying, your Jin Family isn't dangerous anymore?"
"That may not be so, my Jin Family have not provoked them, moreover, my Jin Family cannot be casually swallowed." As she said till here, this was the first time Jin Xingtian revealed the domineering aura of someone in a superior position in front of Lee Xun.
Lee Xun and Jin Xingtian casually chatted for a while, but they did not manage to obtain much information.
After seeing Jin Xingtian leave, Lee Xun fell into deep thought. Why did Jin Xingtian want to rope him in? This old man had emphasized to himself many times that without absolute strength, there would be less trouble. Countless geniuses had died because of his own pretense of intelligence. Sigh, Dou Family were people that he could not afford to offend right now. In truth, Lee Xun was overthinking things, his Dou Family did not put him in his eyes at all. Although Lee Xun had just turned twenty years old, and even possessed a strength that caused people to be envious to the point of going crazy, it was still very difficult to predict what would happen after, because when a person's strength reaches the level of Tenth Rank, breaking through would mostly depend on luck. Taking Lee Xun's most recent breakthrough as an example, it could be said to be an opportunity. He had been stuck in that stage for many years already.
"Husband, why are you unhappy?" Qin Qing's gentle voice woke Lee Xun from his deep thoughts.
"It's nothing. I just don't think I'm strong enough." Lee Xun surged into Qin Qing's embrace. He had already gotten used to the feeling of hugging Qin Qing, and he very much enjoyed the moment where the two of them were alone.
"Husband, I will also increase my strength as soon as possible."
The next day, Lee Xun and Qin Qing came to the Thousand Jade Temple, because they had received the news from the Thousand Jade Temple, the jade pendant was prepared in advance, the young lady who received them last time immediately recognized them and brought the two into the VIP room.
The moment the little girl Qian Jue came out, she ran over to Qin Qing's side and screamed at him. Qin Qing was also happily conversing with Qian Jue.
Lee Xun opened the accessory case and saw the pair of jade pendants that he had custom-made. It could truly be described as extremely beautiful, and extremely skillful, and this pair of jade pendants that was shaped like a Purple Spirit Fire Fox was as if it was alive.
"Qian Jue, did you really do this all by yourself?" Lee Xun really couldn't believe that this twelve year old little girl could have such skills.
"Hmph, looking down on people. You two are the only ones allowed to become champions. Do you not allow me to have good culinary skills?" The little girl pouted her little mouth, as she was extremely dissatisfied with Lee Xun's question.
"You know our identities?"
"My father told me. He also said that he would send me to the Tianshan Sword Sect to learn the sword art one month from now, but I didn't want to go."
"Then you don't have to go."
"No, I have to avenge my grandparents and mother." Qian Jue's face was filled with determination.
"Jue Jue, why do you say that?" Qin Qing had recognized a little sister from the bottom of her heart the last time she came to see the model. Now that she had heard Qian Jue say this, she was naturally very concerned about her.
"Father didn't tell me, he only said that they were killed by someone. He said that if I could learn the sword in the future, he would tell me the truth. If I couldn't, then he would never let me know." Qian Jue's eyes became moist, and his tone carried a sense of grievance.
Lee Xun and Qin Qing looked at each other. They knew that Qian Jue's father had done this to protect Qian Jue. They really did not expect that Qian Jue, who was so clever and cute, would actually have such a tragic life.
"Jue Jue, don't be sad. If you were to learn the sword from Tianshan Sword Sect, wouldn't we be able to meet often?" Qin Qing said as she caressed Qian Jue's pink and cute little face.
"En, big sister Qin Qing, you must teach me sword techniques in the future."
"Mm, it's a deal." After Qin Qing finished speaking, he even made a hook with Qian Jue.
"Farewell." Qian Jue said as she exited the Thousand Jade Temple. Husband, there are so many suffering people in this world. You are the one, I am the one and Jue Jue is the same. "
"Yeah, but look, now that the two of us are together, it won't be hard for both of us, right?"
"Hehe, husband, seeing how cute Jue is, I really want to give birth to a child just like her." With that, Qin Qing left Lee Xun's embrace and turned around happily, looking like a naive, lively, and cute little woman.
Seeing Qin Qing's current state, Lee Xun was happy for Qin Qing. This should be the real Qin Qing, who did not have much extravagant hopes, but wanted to live in peace and harmony. She had shouldered too many responsibilities in the past, and she also had to worry about being found by the people from the Thousandleaf Family.
