Martial Arrogance Dragon Soul-Chapter 184 - 174: Ouyang Rou Becomes a Disciple

Qin Qing extended his hand and grasped it with Liu Hongxue’s.

Liu Hongxue’s hand was exquisitely maintained, smooth as jade, tender and soft.

However, Qin Qing gently clasped it with great politeness before swiftly letting go.

It had to be said that a woman like Liu Hongxue was truly a rare beauty; just being near her, one could feel an enchanting charm that captivated the soul.

But Qin Qing’s nature was also extraordinary. Though young, he had already experienced the vicissitudes of life, having been betrayed by a loved one and faced death several times.

His resolve had become very tough, no longer comparable to that of ordinary people.

After saying farewell to Hongxue and Master Chen, Qin Qing and his group left the Spiritual Treasure Pavilion.

Watching Qin Qing’s departing figure, Master Chen walked over to Liu Hongxue’s side.

"Miss, this time, for the sake of Qin Qing, you’ve completely cut off ties with the Guan Clan. Not just the Guan Clan, but also some families and forces that have business dealings with them... Many of our Spiritual Treasure Pavilion’s businesses will probably be affected," said Master Chen.

Hongxue nodded slightly upon hearing these words.

"Miss, if the people from the family learn about this, they will surely make a big fuss. Currently, the family has put you in charge of this modest business as a test in name, but in reality, they intend to marginalize you."

"With what you’re doing in this matter now, they will likely seize the chance to hold it against you. Then you will have even less reason to return to the family..."

Master Chen wore a concerned expression.

Liu Hongxue took a deep breath and nodded, "Master Chen, I am well aware of all that you’ve said. But even if I did not make any mistakes, and diligently managed the Spiritual Treasure Pavilion here, what achievements would I have? I would still not be taken seriously by those people in the family. They would continue to find various issues to criticize me."

"I would never have the chance to turn things around!"

"So—"

"I must gamble!"

"I can only take a bet. Perhaps if I’m right this time, I will have a chance to turn things around in the future!"

Upon hearing this, Master Chen couldn’t help but show a contemplative expression.

After a moment, he slowly nodded, murmuring, "What you’ve said isn’t wrong, Miss. Indeed, your situation has already reached the fringe of the family. Those people in the family even wish to doom you forever, it’s just—"

"Miss, to pin your hopes and betting stake on Great Qian, such a small place, on a young man without any background, is ultimately too risky!"

Liu Hongxue shook her head, her face showing a hint of helplessness, "I have no other choice. This is a desperate measure... Moreover—"

At this point, a steadfast light seemed to flicker in Liu Hongxue’s eyes, and once again, the image of Qin Qing emerged in her mind—the focused expression of the young man when he concocted Elixirs and Spiritual Treasures.

It seemed that the more she recalled this young man, the firmer her heart became, and the more she believed that her bet this time was very likely placed on the right spot!

"I believe in him... Maybe it doesn’t need a reason. He is worthy of my trust!" whispered Liu Hongxue, especially emphasizing the last sentence, as if affirming a certain belief, "Yes, he is worthy of my trust!"

...

Returning to Qiuhai Villa.

"Elder Mo Kong!"

Qin Qing bowed respectfully to Elder Mo Kong, "I’m troubling you this time!"

"No!" Elder Mo Kong laughed heartily, waving his hand, "Qin Qing, no need for such formalities! To be honest, I see that Ouyang Rou is genuinely talented. I should thank you, Qin Qing, for being able to accept such a disciple. Why speak of trouble?"

Mo Kong glanced again at Ouyang Rou, who was standing beside him.

He was very satisfied with Ouyang Rou.

Ouyang Rou’s cultivation talent was also commendable, but her talent in the art of Spiritual Patterns was even more outstanding than her cultivation talent.

"Thank you, Master!"

Ouyang Rou bowed to Mo Kong once again.

The happiest, undoubtedly, was Ouyang Rou.

Ouyang Rou originally just wanted to enter the Great Qian Martial Institute and become a disciple there.

However, she offended someone she shouldn’t have, losing the qualification to enter the Great Qian Martial Institute. Pressured by her family, she had to stay in Luochuan. Thus, she tried every means to learn the Spiritual Pattern Technique, hoping to become a disciple under Fang Yi.

But who could have expected the unfairness she encountered.

However, the result was good. She didn’t become a disciple under Fang Yi, but instead, she became the official disciple of Elder Mo Kong. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

It’s worth mentioning that Fang Yi didn’t even gain recognition as an honorary disciple of Mo Kong.

And now, Ouyang Rou had directly become the official disciple of Mo Kong.

Now, like Qin Shuang, Ouyang Rou had also become a disciple under Mo Kong.

This was perfect as both of them could have better exchanges in their comprehension of the Spiritual Pattern Technique.

In addition, aside from being under Mo Kong’s tutelage, Ouyang Rou had also officially become a disciple of the Great Qian Martial Institute.

Today, the Great Qian Martial Institute was essentially under the control of the West Courtyard. After Qin Qing clinched the first place in the year-end competition, Xu Fang gradually gained the upper hand.

Valued by the Imperial Court above, there were people who wanted to support the Third Prince, and he was a supporter of Xu Fang.

Thus, Xu Fang gradually took control of the Great Qian Martial Institute.

Naturally, there were no obstacles for Ouyang Rou to enter the Great Qian Martial Institute.

After handling Ouyang Rou’s affairs, Qin Qing still decided to make a trip to Tianjue Forest.

"Brother, if you are going to Tianjue Forest, you must be careful!" Qin Shuang said with reluctance.

Qin Qing had just mentioned that he planned to make a trip to Tianjue Forest in the next few days.

The dangers of Tianjue Forest are well known. Qin Qing once faced assassination in Tianjue Forest by Shangguan Xuan, and that was merely at its outer edges. Venturing deep into the Tianjue Forest is extremely dangerous.

This time, Qin Qing planned to enter Tianjue Forest and go further in to hunt Ferocious Beasts and gather various natural treasures that could be utilized.

After all, during this period, Qin’s cultivation had always depended on the resources provided by Jiang Ruorong and Bai Qiuhe. At a critical moment of his own cultivation, Bai Qiuhe also needed a large number of resources.

Qin Qing didn’t want to continue relying on the old ways, so he decided to take a risk on his own. Entering Tianjue Forest to try his luck, and also, he wanted to undergo another trial before the year’s end, in preparation for advancing to the Divine Might Realm!

In addition, now that he had become a Spiritual Pattern Master at the Spiritual Treasure Pavilion, if he could obtain resources from Tianjue Forest, he could sell them to the Spiritual Treasure Pavilion at the most favorable prices, or craft Elixirs and Spiritual Treasures to sell on his own.

Now everything was starting to look up.

Qin Qing also had to earn more cultivation resources through his own efforts, not only to treat his sister’s illness but also because her cultivation resources were indispensable.

Moreover, time was of the essence.

The new year was passing, and spring was approaching fast, bringing with it the time for the spring hunt.

Qin Qing not only had to achieve good results in the spring hunt but also had to improve his strength as quickly as possible. Only by doing so, would he have a greater certainty of rescuing his father, still inside the furnace, enduring the agony akin to Purgatory...
