Chapter 0161 – Undercurrents – Absolute Return

by GreatBrother(위대한 다오 형제)

"That’s not what I meant …… I meant that since something happened, I’m in trouble, you ……"

"I can’t stay and wait to die, can I?"

"……"

"Ah! Do you know how much I’ve missed you with these sneers?"

"I’m not kidding. Anyway, how was it? Did you meet the Martial Arts Alliance?"

"Almost didn’t make it back."

"Looks like he’s really strong."

I nodded.

"It’s good that you’re okay."

Saying that, he began to reorganize his luggage. The original playful face was also filled with fear at this moment.

I could kind of tell that this guy was serious, and if anything really happened to me, he would definitely not hesitate to get away with it. He’s not the kind of person who would act impulsively for the sake of revenge.

He would return to the Demon Sect and report the whole story clearly, and only then, would he begin his revenge plan. He would remember all the people involved in this matter like he remembered those enemies who had killed the Yellow Springs Pavilion seniors. Ten years, a hundred years, until the moment he died, he would never forget his revenge. This was Xu Dalong, a person who lived for revenge.

"Have you confessed your identity to him?"

"Well, he knows who I am."

"So I’m exposed too?"

"Exactly."

"Then can we still participate in the ‘Subterranean Dragon Battle’?"

"Of course, and we must win!" I couldn’t help but laugh when I looked at Xu Dalong’s expression of "Do we still have a chance of winning?".

"Why?"

"Since the Martial Alliance Master already knows about the existence of the Heavenly Fate Society, do you think that he would still stand by and watch his granddaughter win the championship and become their target?"

"You mean, let me take the bullet for his granddaughter?"

"Exactly."

"Alas, what a pity for me who has no backing! Master, did you see that?"

Listening to Xu Dalong’s joke, I laughed and shook my head.

"Look on the bright side, it’s a rare occasion in your life when you get the support of a martial arts ally."

"Ah! You are right! It looks like I’ll have another bragging point to talk about at future drinking parties. However, do we really have to tell everything to the Martial Alliance?"

"Trying to pull a fast one on him was unrealistic. I decided to be honest with him and tell him everything I knew."

"What about the rest of that lie?"

"Who told you that was a lie?"

"Hmm?"

"Maybe that’s just the truth I’m not telling for a while."

"What truth?"

I looked up out the window, and in the distance, the buildings of the Martial League, loomed large in the night.

"One day, you’ll know."

Early the next morning I woke up with a heart palpitation.

It’s the Heavenly Demon Body Protecting Kung Fu that’s reminding me.

I walked out of the room and downstairs. The hall of the inn was empty, with only one figure, sitting quietly in the corner. Even though he didn’t deliberately release any aura, just sitting there gave off an invisible sense of oppression. Even with his back to me, I could still feel the aura of a long time in power on him.

He, the Martial Arts Alliance Master – Qin Batian.

"There you are." I walked across to him and sat down.

There was no sign of the Sky Dragon Guardians around, but I knew that they must be hiding in the shadows, protecting this place to the hilt.

"I’ve met your father twice before." Qin Batian suddenly spoke.

I listened quietly and didn’t say anything.

"Every time I see him, it creates a sense of crisis in me, so that I don’t dare to slack off in the slightest. It’s your father that keeps me motivated."

I can understand his feelings. My father, is a man who desires to become stronger than anyone else.

"I haven’t felt this way in a long time. Yesterday, you rekindled my fighting spirit."

Obviously, my performance yesterday left a deep impression on him. For a young junior to be able to resist his pressure, it made him feel threatened.

"I can agree to your terms and leave this matter in your hands."

He must have thought long and hard before making this decision. I wonder who all he consulted with and who he trusted the most.

"However, I have one condition."

"Go ahead."

"I want to know the whole story. From now on, I’m going to send someone to follow you and watch your every move."

I have long sensed that there is someone around who is secretly watching us. His stealthy skill was no less than that of my father’s guard, Wyvern . Of course, I didn’t show it.

The reason why the Martial Alliance Leader agreed to my conditions, besides worrying about me leaking information, perhaps he also had the intention of testing me. He wanted to see what kind of person I, the future Demon Sect Master, really was.

"I also have a condition."

"On what terms?"

"The Master of the Heaven’s Destiny Society must be resolved by our own hands. After it is accomplished, we will leave immediately and never cause any trouble."

Qin Batian nodded and stood up.

"Do what you have to do."

I know what he’s worried about. He’s worried that I’ll influence Chun Hsia-ling.

"My men always laugh at me, saying that sensational love ends in tragedy. But young people nowadays, they don’t like tragedy, and I think your granddaughter is the same."

I understand his concern. His son and daughter-in-law, both died, so he would never want his granddaughter to repeat the same mistake.

"Sometimes tragedy lurks all around us."

"What do you mean?"

"I think the reason why Ms. Qin announced her relationship with me in public is not just because she likes or appreciates me, right?"

"You mean, she was trying to save you?"

" Ms. Qin is very much like you, both are cynical."

"That’s why I’m even more worried."

"Instead of worrying about it, why don’t you go and investigate to find out who’s behind it and who’s pushing her. Believe me, one honest conversation will bring you closer together than a hundred empty words of concern."

Qin Batian gave me a deep look and turned to leave.

"Cut the crap and do your own thing."

Watching his back disappear into the night, I turned to go back upstairs.

"When I go to bed, you rest with me. If I’m going out, I’ll let you know ahead of time." Walking to the door of my room, I said to the air.

I knew that even if I pretended not to notice him, he would surely follow me every inch of the way.
