Chapter 96 - Ruthless
"Strange, I feel like I've forgotten something."
"Me too."
"Did I forget to wipe my butt when I went to the toilet yesterday? No, I haven't gone to the toilet in years."
"Hai, I'm getting old. I can't remember anything."
"…"
The six elders sighed with emotion one after another, shook their heads, and left. Now that Qin Jue was no longer a pill refinement master, they simply wouldn't care about Qin Jue in the corner.
"Elder Hu, we will meet again."
"Elder Wang, this is a gift for you."
"Elder Yin…"
Soon, the six elders were surrounded by many leaders.
The six of them were the future leaders of the Six Great Clans that would oversee Brilliance City. Not only were they powerful, but they also had great statuses. With a single word, they could determine the life and death of a faction. How could these sect masters not pull strings in advance?
Seeing this, Qin Jue also breathed a sigh of relief. At least he didn't have to worry about being disturbed.
Qin Jue was indeed not afraid of exposing his strength, but he didn't want to be entangled by these flies.
Taking a sip of wine, Qin Jue picked up a piece of roasted meat beside him and stuffed it into his mouth.
This piece of roasted meat was even more tender than the grilled fish he had eaten in the morning. It was clearly not an ordinary piece of meat. Perhaps it was the meat of a fiend beast.
"Uncle-Master Qin, what wine are you drinking? It smells so good."
Mu Xiaoyu revealed a drooling expression.
Because Qin Jue only erased his memory of pill refining, the girl still recognized him.
"Do you want a sip?"
Qin Jue answered with a question.
Mu Xiaoyu carefully looked at Liu Ping who was not far away and whispered, "My senior sister doesn't like it when I drink."
"In that case, don't drink."
Qin Jue shrugged his shoulders.
One had to know that he was drinking a thousand-year-old spirit wine, and the girl only had a peak Yellow Stage cultivation, so she was unable to endure it.
"…"
However, Mu Xiaoyu didn't know any of this. She only pouted in displeasure and was rather depressed.
If it weren't for Qin Jue's handsome appearance, she would have ignored him long ago.
"Um… are you Bai Ye's junior brother?"
At this moment, a woman in a black dress walked over and looked at Qin Jue expectantly.
"Uh… yeah."
Qin Jue was stunned, not understanding what the other party wanted to do.
The aura of the woman in the black dress was ethereal, condensed, and didn't disperse. She was clearly a Heaven Stage cultivator, or even the leader of some faction. Qin Jue didn't remember meeting her before.
Furthermore, there was an indescribable fragrance coming from the woman in the black dress, which added to her charm.
However, the other party immediately asked him if he was Bai Ye's junior brother. Could it be that he had something to do with his senior brother?
"Great!"
The woman in the black dress immediately revealed a happy expression.
"Where's your senior brother, Bai Ye? Why isn't he here?"
The woman in the black dress asked impatiently.
"My senior brother is cultivating in seclusion to break through to the Supreme Stage."
Qin Jue's face darkened. The woman was indeed related to his senior brother. No wonder that old man was unwilling to let him heal him!
"Really?"
Unexpectedly, not only was the woman not disappointed, but she revealed a pleasantly surprised expression.
"???"
Before Qin Jue could react, the woman in the black dress took off a white jade hairpin from her head and handed it to him. "Help me give this hairpin to your senior brother. Tell him that Yan Xi will wait for him forever!"
Others might not know, but the woman in the black dress remembered that Bai Ye had once promised her that he would come to find her after he advanced to the Supreme Stage.
Qin Jue :"…"
From the looks of it, his senior brother seemed to be two-timing?
"Eh? Isn't this the Sect Master of the Demonic Flower Sect, Yan Xi? What are you doing here?"
Suddenly, an unhappy voice was heard with disdain.
Who else could it be other than Ye Yao?
Qin Jue :"…"
"Hehe, Ye Yao, don't you think you're being too nosy?"
The woman in the black dress called Yan Xi did not back down.
"I suggest you stay away from my junior brother."
Ye Yao narrowed her eyes, giving off a cold and sinister feeling. She was completely different from the Ye Yao Bai Ye probably knew.
"Junior Brother? Sect Master Ye, when did you learn to make something out of nothing?"
Yan Xi sneered.
"Bai Ye doesn't like you at all. You better not pester him anymore." Gritting her teeth, Ye Yao decided not to hide anything and went straight to the point.
"Hmph, are you talking about yourself?"
The two of them opposed each other with hostility. If it weren't for the fact that they were at the banquet, they would have already started fighting.
Qin Jue :"…"
He felt as if he was watching a seventy-episode urban romance drama. If Bai Ye were here, it would be even more interesting.
Thinking of this, Qin Jue seriously said, "Senior sisters, it's useless for you to argue here. How about this? After the banquet ends, I'll bring the both of you to the Xuanyi Mountain Sect with me and let my senior brother make the choice. How about it?"
Senior Brother, since you're so heartless, don't blame me for being ruthless.
Hearing this, the two's eyes lit up. That's right, why didn't they think of this? Moreover, with Qin Jue as their junior brother leading the way, it could be said to be perfectly justifiable.
"It's decided."
"Bai Ye will definitely choose me. Don't pester him then."
"Choose you? Is your chest bigger than mine?"
"…"
"…"
After that, Qin Jue returned the portrait and the jade hairpin to Ye Yao and Yan Xi respectively. In any case, they were going to the Xuanyi Mountain Sect together, so he didn't need to hand over these two things.
"So Master likes your senior brother. I'm relieved to hear that." Mu Xiaoyu heaved a sigh of relief.
Qin Jue :"…"
Because he had erased the memories regarding his pill refinement, Qin Jue stayed in a corner for the rest of the time. Apart from Mu Xiaoyu and Liu Ping, almost no one noticed him.
The banquet lasted for four hours or so. During this time, the elders of the Six Great Clans spoke a lot of nonsense.
However, Qin Jue didn't take it to heart. After eating and drinking his fill, he went directly back to sleep. After all, he still had to set off for the Xuanyi Mountain Sect tomorrow.
At this moment, Tang Xiao and Ma Huateng were the most dumbfounded. Because part of their memories had been erased, they had no idea where the perfected grade four medicinal pill in their storage rings had come from.
Especially Tang Xiao, who was wondering where his level five spirit herb went…
Even though he was dumbfounded, it was still acceptable for him since he had an additional perfected grade four pill.
As for Ma Huateng, even though he had forgotten about the exchange, he still remembered Qin Jue's suggestion, so it wouldn't affect his future plans.
The next day, when Qin Jue woke up, Ye Yao and Yan Xi were already waiting outside the door, each with their own disciples. They glared at each other and began to confront each other.
Qin Jue was speechless. It was said that three women could make a show. The two of them, however, could already make no less than ten shows.
"Junior Brother Qin Jue, come on our air-transportation spirit artifact. It will be faster this way."
Seeing Qin Jue come out, Ye Yao invited him.
"Junior Brother Qin Jue, our air-transportation spirit artifact is more comfortable. Come to our side."
Yan Xi invited Qin Jue as well.
"…"
After a long silence, Qin Jue said, "Forget it, I'll fly by myself."
As soon as he finished speaking, the spirit energy under Qin Jue's feet transformed into a horse that carried him and Tam into the sky.
