The Ancestor of our Sect Isn’t Acting like an Elder Chapter 124

Chapter 124: 124
Chapter 124 – Fairy
Bathed by the afterglow of the setting sun, silence filled the area .
Little Jade and Puppy are staring dully at the human-shaped Phecda, speechless .
The scene just now exceeded their understanding .
In fact, let alone them, even Ye Zhen who has a wide range of knowledge was unable to react the first time he witnessed Phecda’s Transfiguration, while Qi Qiqi even more so fainted from fright . Of course the main reason why they had such reactions was that Phecda has transformed into a legendary creature, a white dragon .
Magic may be too foreign of a concept to this world .
In particular this kind of spell that can change your shape at will, they probably didn’t expect that the true qi inside them has this kind of ability .
“Wow! Turned into a human… the kitten turned into a human!”
Of the two, the first one to snap out of it is Little Jade .
Unlike Xue Qilin imagined, she wasn’t frightened by the unexpected scene, but instead rushed to in front of Phecda, excited .
“Hey hey! Are you also a martial demon?”
The lass appears to know that martial demons can take human form .
It’s no wonder . After all, she has an irregular martial demon as a friend . Xue Qilin glanced at the martial demon who wants to approach Phecda, but then stopped due to lack of courage, thinking that he’s similar to Gong Tianqing .
No, it’s a bit different . Gong Tianqing is timid, but she is not afraid of things . But the martial demon Puppy is a coward, and he may have some inferiority complex .
It isn’t difficult for Xue Qilin to understand how his character developed this way, not at all .
That is the typical disposition of those who have been bullied for a long time .
In spite of this, Puppy is able to summon the courage to step forward and protect his friend .
Although he can’t use the spiritual qi inside him, and Xue Qilin hasn’t released the aura of a Heaven Realm master . But since martial demons are much more sensitive than humans, he should more or less sense the threat of Xue Qilin .
However, he still blocked in front of Xue Qilin at that moment . This courage is rare, at least for a coward .
“But you have no ears and no tail!”
Little Jade’s enthusiasm is a bit scary .
She circled Phecda repeatedly and even poked her several times, trying to determine whether the lass the kitten has turned into is real or not .
“I am not a martial demon, I am Qilin’s sword spirit!”
Fool, don’t say unnecessary things! Xue Qilin glared at Phecda .
Sword spirit… or item spirit is an unimaginable existence in this world . Phecda is probably the first case . Xue Qilin isn’t sure what kind of uproar it will cause once Phecda’s existence is divulged .
A complete item spirit has the ability to match a Grandmaster and disrupt the balance of the world . Even the greatly weakened Phecda, under the condition that she’s fully charged with spiritual qi, she can enable Xue Qilin who is a Heaven Realm master to be a match for a Grandmaster for a short period of time .
If the gap between the Heaven Realm and the Grandmaster Realm is likened to an uncrossable river, then Phecda is a bridge that can be erected on the river for a short time .
Phecda who realized that she has divulged something that she shouldn’t have made an “ah” sound, then promptly covered her mouth and peeped at her owner’s expression with a pitiful look in her eyes . Xue Qilin rolled her eyes, unhappy .
“Hey, Big Sister! Your kitten can turn into a human! It must be an Fairy Cat! My mother said that Fairies have 72 transformations!”
Instead of investigating what a sword spirit is, Little Jade ran to Xue Qilin and uttered thusly, stirred .
Unable to catch up with the other party’s erratic thinking, Xue Qilin was taken aback . But then the other party asked another question that Xue Qilin cannot answer .
“Big Sister, are you a Fairy?”
Little Jade asked with shining eyes .
“Fairy?”
On Celestial Mountain located at Hua Dynasty’s northern border, there lies Celestial Lake . It is said that “Fairies” can be seen on the surface of the lake .
Legend has it that Fairies possess extraordinary, untainted beauty as well as the power to dominate the world . They supposedly descend from the Heavens on quiet nights, bathe in Celestial Lake that contains a qi dragon vein, and absorb the essence of the sun and the moon to improve their skills .
So the Fairy Little Jade speaks of is a Fairy of legend? Xue Qilin blinked .
“Why are you spacing out again, is that how Fairies are?”
Little Jade crossed her arms like an elder . She doesn’t seem to be afraid of offending Xue Qilin, the supposed mighty Fairy .
Should it be said that she is fearless, or that she is naive? Perhaps she is both . Xue Qilin wrinkled her nose and suddenly had a mischievous idea .
“Hum hum, aren’t you afraid that this Fairy will turn you into a bug with her fairy arts?”
Xue Qilin pretended to be fierce and stroked her finger across Little Jade’s cheek .
Little Jade trembled and jumped up from fright .
“I…I don’t believe you!”
Even though her tone is shaky, Little Jade still said, unresigned: “Unless you show me your fairy arts!”
This little girl thinks she’s clever! Doesn’t she just want to see the fairy arts… Xue Qilin doesn’t know whether to laugh or cry .
“Then take a look!”
“Mhm!”
Little Jade stared at Xue Qilin’s extended index finger intently .
Suddenly, a small flame emerged from Xue Qilin’s fingertip and illuminated Little Jade’s eyes .
The flame reflected in the bright yellow eyes sways gently .
“Trick…”
Shocked, Little Jade looked back and forth between Xue Qilin’s expression that says “do you believe me now?!” and the flame on her fingertip . Puppy standing aside showed an incredulous expression .
“How is it?”
Xue Qilin hummed twice while shaking the finger, and the flame on the fingertip swayed accordingly .
“Is this a Demimonde trick?!”
Little Jade grabbed Xue Qilin’s forearm, pulled it to in front of her eyes, and looked carefully .
“There’s no relation…”
Little Jade muttered to herself, which prompted Xue Qilin to wrinkle her nose .
“You’re a troublesome little girl . You asked to see ‘fairy arts’ . The result is presented right before your eyes, yet you’re still not convinced . ”
“Is it really an ‘fairy art’?”
“Whether you believe it or not, it’s up to you!”
Xue Qilin withdrew her hand and extinguished the flame .
Strictly speaking, Xue Qilin is not lying . Eastern magic was originally called “fairy arts” .
“…”
Little Jade and Puppy exchanged a look .
With her arms crossed, Xue Qilin looks like she’s ticked off – of course she is pretending, she isn’t petty enough to bother with small children . Phecda is looking at them with blinking eyes .
“Hey hey, Fairy, can you teach me fairy arts?”
Little Jade approached Xue Qilin, clasped her hands, and made a request .
Hey, a typical development! Xue Qilin opened her eyes wide and looked at Little Jade .
“Why should I teach you?”
“I…”
Little Jade hesitated and aimed her gaze at Puppy .
Is there something that she finds difficult to voice? Xue Qilin couldn’t refrain from guessing .
“I want to turn Puppy into a true human!”
Little Jade finally said so .
“Turn into a human?”
Little Jade nodded .
“This way Puppy won’t be bullied!”
“…”
Xue Qilin is left speechless .
So this is the case…
Martial demons are being discriminated by humans . But if they turn into true humans, then there won’t be any need for discrimination .
The best way to join a group is not to achieve a mutual understanding, but to assimilate into it, to change your behavior, speech, culture, clothing, and adornments .
“You can’t learn it . ” Xue Qilin shook her head, “You’re unable to learn it, you don’t have the talent for it . ”
Although it’s cruel . But rather than giving false hope, it is better to tell the truth directly .
Um, there is no difference between a broken hope and a lie .
“I see…”
Little Jade lowered her head dejectedly, like a particularly wilted eggplant .
Xue Qilin wants to comfort her, but she doesn’t know what to say . Instead it was Puppy who…
“Little Jade, it’s okay!”
He took Little Jade’s hands timidly, consoled her, and advised her not to take it to heart .
“Hey, Qilin, can’t you help them?”
Unable to bear it, Phecda pulled Xue Qilin’s sleeve .
Hearing the question, Little Jade looked at Xue Qilin with hopeful eyes .
Don’t look at me like that… Xue Qilin tried to avoid the fervent gaze . She doesn’t like this kind of gaze .
“I can’t . ”
“You can use Transfiguration!”
Phecda didn’t notice the contradiction inside Xue Qilin’s heart .
Shut up! Xue Qilin warned Phecda with her eyes .
Phecda shrank back, not knowing how she angered Xue Qilin .
Xue Qilin can indeed “engrave” a Transfiguration magic array on Puppy . In this way, as long as Puppy pours spiritual qi into the magic array, he can perform “Transfiguration” .
However, at the end of the day, Transfiguration is merely a high-level transformation spell, its effect isn’t permanent . It needs to rely on spiritual qi to be maintained . In case Puppy encounters something unexpected and the Transfiguration is lifted, if someone happens to see this and learns that he disguised himself as a human to enter the human community, what will happen to him? It is not difficult to imagine his ending .
Deception and concealment, this is a behavior that humans hate the most .
If the caster is a martial demon, an existence they don’t want to see, their anger will presumably be even more frightening .
Therefore, Xue Qilin doesn’t intend to agree to this and push the other party into a pit of fire .
She can’t stay by Puppy’s side forever and help him out when he is in trouble .
Since you cannot take responsibility till the end, then it’s best not to help .
At this moment…
“… Hey, are you done talking? I have been waiting for a long time now! If you are done talking, can you teach me the trick from just now?”
An innocent and sweet voice came from behind Xue Qilin .
Very close, probably right behind her . Xue Qilin even felt the other sides breathing when speaking .
“…!”
When did she arrive behind me? Along with a burst of coldness, Xue Qilin turned around violently .
