Martial Arrogance Dragon Soul-Chapter 215 - 205: The Status of a Spiritual Patterns Master
If we’re talking about background, Qin Qing indeed couldn’t hold a candle to the majority of those present.
However, Qin Qing held a special title—he was a Spiritual Patterns Master.
"Not even twenty, and already a top-tier Third Rank Spiritual Patterns Master. Such an age, such talent in Spiritual Patterns, perhaps our entire Great Qian has never seen before?"
"Certainly not, with such talent in Spiritual Patterns, not to mention Great Qian, even in the entirety of the Heavenly Mind Continent, he’s probably among the very best."
"Who would have thought, this Qin Qing, aside from his terrifyingly extraordinary cultivation talent, also possesses such demonic gift in the way of Spiritual Patterns!"
Many people were already secretly contemplating whether they should treat Qin Qing with a different attitude.
After all, they all needed Spirit Pills and Spiritual Treasures, and if they could connect with Qin Qing now and get on good terms with him, then seeking Spirit Pills and Spiritual Treasures in the future would be much easier.
"Miss Hongxue is right!" Someone stood out at this time, "Since Qin Qing is a Spiritual Patterns Master from the Spiritual Treasure Pavilion, his identity naturally suffices for him to stand here."
"Master Qin!" A young man wearing a jade crown approached, giving a cupped fist salute to Qin Qing, "I am Qiao Chong, and I hope to make friends with Master Qin."
Qin Qing’s gaze sharpened slightly. This young man named Qiao Chong radiated an aura filled with True Intention, and was indeed a Golden Core Realm Martial Dao Master.
"Brother Qiao!" Qin Qing returned the salute.
He wouldn’t ignore the other’s friendly overture, no matter the intent behind it.
Qin Qing certainly did not wish to make enemies of the entire world.
On the road of cultivation, who wouldn’t prefer it to be smooth, without bumps, without enemies?
But Qin Qing knew that was impossible.
From the very start in Tianjue City, after being betrayed by Mu Yunlan, it was destined that his path would be fraught with hardships.
In order to rise from an inconspicuous and humble background, breaking through countless obstructs and clearing many on the road were necessary, which also meant Qin Qing’s journey was bound to be difficult.
Yet in the face of difficulties, Qin Qing also needed to start building his own network, forging his own alliances.
It certainly wasn’t necessary to be opposed by everyone in the world.
"Master Qin is so young, yet capable of inscribing top-tier Third Rank Spiritual Patterns, truly astonishing," another person approached.
"It seems it’s all been a misunderstanding. Eighth Princess, since Qin Qing is a Spiritual Patterns Master from the Spiritual Treasure Pavilion, he does indeed have the qualification to attend this banquet. Besides, the misunderstanding between the Eighth Princess and Qin Qing, is it not merely a minor issue? I believe it’s not unresolvable."
The speaker this time was none other than the little prince from the Longhou Estate.
"Master Qin." The little prince saluted Qin Qing with a fist, "My name is Qin Hewen. It’s interesting, you and I share the surname Qin, which connects you to our Royal Family."
"I’ve seen the little prince!" Qin Qing responded with a faint smile and a nod.
"No problem, no problem. If there has been any offense, please don’t take it to heart, Master Qin!" The little prince was someone capable of both holding and letting go.
Knowing Qin Qing’s identity as a Spiritual Patterns Master, he quickly changed his approach.
"Not at all. It’s merely that Qin Qing is young and impetuous. If I have acted or spoken in any way that has displeased you, please forgive me," Qin Qing replied.
Seeing the little prince approaching Qin Qing amiably, the surrounding people naturally came forward to greet Qin Qing as well.
Originally, some people didn’t get along with the young master Lu and the Eighth Princess, so they naturally came over to show support at this time.
This made Qin Qing silently sigh to himself—it was only after his identity as a Spiritual Patterns Master had been revealed that these people, even those not aligned with the Eighth Princess or the young master Lu, would come forward with intentions of friendship.
It was all about value!
Originally, in their eyes, he had no value for making connections.
But now, it was different.
A Third Rank Spiritual Patterns Master so young, there were few who didn’t want to make his acquaintance.
Indeed, even Qin Qing hadn’t expected that this identity of a Spiritual Patterns Master would be so useful.
As for Mu Hongtu and Mu Yunlan, they both fell silent at this time.
They also hadn’t expected Qin Qing to be a Third Rank Spiritual Patterns Master.
"So young, yet he became a Third Rank Spiritual Patterns Master, how on earth did he do it?"
Mu Hongtu’s gaze towards Qin Qing grew even more complicated.
He began to waver, questioning whether Mu Yunlan’s betrayal of Qin Qing, choosing to stand on the opposite side, was truly a mistake.
Mu Yunlan’s heart was also filled with mixed emotions.
But at this moment, her heart was filled with even more doubt about what secrets Qin Qing possessed.
Why, after she had devoured his Martial Soul and destroyed the Soul Palace, did he show even more defiance against the heavens?
Awakening a Ninth Rank Martial Soul, possessing double Ninth Stars talent, and now he was even a top-tier Third Rank Spiritual Patterns Master?
Qin Qing’s gaze unintentionally swept over Mu Hongtu and Mu Yunlan.
Seeing their complex expressions, Qin Qing’s demeanor remained as cold as ice, and then, he turned to Liu Hongxue and nodded slightly in thanks, "Miss Hongxue, thank you for helping Qin Qing out of a tight spot!"
Qin Qing was also very clear that the identity of a Spiritual Patterns Master was indeed useful, but the reason so many people were willing to show goodwill towards Qin Qing at this time was not solely because of his status as a Spiritual Patterns Master; Liu Hongxue’s support was also a factor.
Liu Hongxue’s willingness to stand up for him at this time, at the risk of offending the Eighth Princess, clearly indicated her support for Qin Qing.
Moreover, Qin Qing was a Spiritual Patterns Master from the Spiritual Treasure Pavilion, and Liu Hongxue was the helmswoman of the Spiritual Treasure Pavilion; their relationship was obviously not ordinary.
Becoming friendly with Qin Qing was also a way of expressing goodwill towards the Spiritual Treasure Pavilion.
At this moment, Qin Yun’s expression grew even more sullen.
Similarly, the young master standing next to Qin Yun also looked increasingly displeased.
"It’s good to be a Spiritual Patterns Master, but in the end, it still depends on strength. Without enough strength, one is ultimately just a puppet for others to refine elixirs and Spiritual Treasures," said the young master with a hint of sarcasm.
Qin Yun spoke again, "So what if Qin Qing is a Spiritual Patterns Master? After all, he is a criminal’s offspring, and as far as I know, his father has committed the grave crime of colluding with the Demon Race. Such a sin, if pursued, is likely to result in the descendants being exiled to the desolate land."
"Eighth Princess, as far as I am aware, it has not yet been determined by Great Qian whether Qin Qing’s father is guilty," Liu Hongxue added.
"Really?" Qin Yun sneered coldly, "Whether his father is guilty or not, isn’t it just a word from my Imperial Father? Suppose I now go to my father and say a few words, what do you think, is Qin Qing’s father guilty or not?"
Qin Yun’s remark suddenly caused Liu Hongxue’s complexion to change slightly.
And Qin Qing, who was nearby, also fell silent.
Indeed, this was exactly what Qin Qing was worried about.
His father’s imprisonment in the palace, his guilt or innocence, was entirely a matter of the current emperor’s word.
"Eighth sister, you’re making trouble again!"
"Whether Qin Qing’s father is guilty or not, we must speak based on the facts, Father Emperor will certainly not make arbitrary judgments. And it’s not for you to decide!" Just then, the Third Prince and another group of people walked out from the inner courtyard of Wanhe Palace.
