Chapter 0379 – Heart Demon Encounter – Absolute Return

Jian Wuji did not directly answer Qin Xia Ling’s question, but instead asked in return, “In your opinion, which thing is more difficult? Is it obtaining the permission of the Martial Alliance Master, or inviting the Martial Alliance Master to an appointment?”

Although Qin Xia Ling couldn’t answer this question, she was clear about one thing:

“Both of these things, are impossible! Grandpa would never, ever drink with the Demon Sect Master, and the Alliance of the Righteous, together.”

Sword Wuji sniffed, hung his head, and walked towards the door.

He walked to the door, and when he saw that Qin Xiajun and Qin Xia Ling, both had no intention of stopping him, he turned around and walked back.

“You guys are too cruel, aren’t you? We’re friends!” Jian Wuji said in a feigned aggravated manner.

“Why did you invite the Alliance of the Righteous? You can’t be, really just wanting, to invite him for a drink, right? Even if you really just wanted to invite him for a drink, he wouldn’t have agreed. How exactly did you convince him?” Qin Xiajun asked.

Jian Wuji replied frankly, “I hope that I can stop this war.”

Of course, Qin Xiajun and Qin Xialing, could not possibly understand what he meant. There was no way he could tell them that his father and the Alliance of the Righteous Dao, both wanted to unify the Jiangbei.

“Do you think that, with the Alliance Leader of the Righteous Path, drinking at the entrance of the Heavenly Demon Divine Sect, this war, will be able to be avoided?” Qin Xia Ling asked.

“I believe that it can.” Jian Wuji said in a firm tone.

Even Qin Xia Ling herself, felt unbelievable that she would believe, this, illogical statement from Jian Wuji.

The reason why she would believe Jian Wuji was not because, Jian Wuji’s tone was firm, but because, she owed Jian Wuji a life.

“You said before that you would take me in if I was kicked out of the Martial Arts Alliance by Grandpa, is that true?” Qin Xia Ling asked.

“Of course it’s true, and I’ll even organize a grand welcome ceremony, for you.” Jian Wuji said with a smile.

Qin Xia Ling imagined the scene where she was kicked out of the Martial Arts Alliance by her grandfather, and then, with Chasing Tiger, carrying her baggage, she stood at the gate of the Heavenly Demon God Sect, drenched in the rain and shivering.

At this time, Jian Wuji opened the gate and walked out, smiling and said to her, “From today onwards, you are my personal maid.”

With Jian Wuji’s character, he would definitely be able to do such a thing.

Therefore, she believed in Jian Wuji, not just because, she owed him a life.

“Alright, I promise to help you.” Qin Xia Ling said.

She felt, suddenly, much lighter inside.

“Brother, don’t get involved in this. If you get involved, you’ll really be disinherited, by Grandpa.” Qin Xia Ling said to Qin Xia Jun.

Qin Xiajun looked at his sister with mixed feelings in his heart.

“Why, so easily, can she make a choice?”

His life, filled with all sorts of rules and regulations, had never occurred to him, to break them.

It never occurred to him that he would lose his inheritance, or that he would have to go against his grandfather’s wishes.

His sister, however, could easily, cross those lines.

From this point of view, Qin Xia Ling and Jian Wu Ji, were really very similar.

Qin Xiajun asked himself what he really wanted.

Is breaking the rules a youthful indiscretion or a brave challenge?

He didn’t know, what the answer was.

“Brother, don’t hesitate. You should understand, how I feel, right?” Qin Xia Ling said.

Jian Wuji didn’t say anything and just quietly looked at Qin Xiajun.

The look in his eyes seemed to be encouraging Qin Xiajun to take that brave step.

“Who are you to, look at me like that? It’s not like you’re going to, be responsible for my life.” Qin Xiajun said in his heart.

He turned his head to Qin Xia Ling and said, “You can’t go alone.”

“What?” Qin Xia Ling looked at Qin Xiajun in surprise.

“If you go alone, you’ll be scolded by grandpa. If we go together, at least, we won’t be kicked out of the Martial Arts Alliance.” Qin Xiajun said.

“Brother, you want to help me too?” Qin Xia Ling asked in surprise.

Qin Xiajun nodded and said, “I don’t want, either, to see a war break out.”

The reason why he had agreed, to help Jian Wuji, was because, he also believed, in Jian Wuji’s judgment.

Jian Wuji knew that Qin Xiajun had made, a very difficult decision. He had given up his inheritance for the sake of his friends.

“Thank you, I will remember your kindness.” Jian Wuji said sincerely.

Qin Xiajun had learned one thing from Jian Wuji.

That is, between friends, there is no need to say those, false pleasantries.

“Since you all agreed, let’s discuss the specific plan.” Qin Xia Ling said.

The first person to go looking for Qin Botian was Qin Xia Ling.

“Grandpa, are you there?”

“Come in.”

Although Qin Botian had a domineering personality, he loved his granddaughter very much. What’s more, his granddaughter, recently, had become much more understanding, which made him feel gratified.

“Today, isn’t there a gathering of upstarts?” Qin Botian asked.

“It’s over.” Qin Xiaoling replied.

“Recently, has anyone else confessed to you?” Qin Botian asked.

“Of course there is, there’s one today.” Qin Xiaoling said with a smile.

“Is there any, that you can see?” Qin Botian asked.

“No, none of them can compare to grandpa, you were handsome when you were young.” Qin Xia Ling said.

Hearing his granddaughter’s praise, Qin Botian smiled happily.

“If you really want to find someone, Grandpa won’t stop you. You know what? Back in my day, I was willing to recruit even servants, as granddaughters-in-law.” Qin Botian said.

He deliberately brought up this matter because he wanted to see, what his granddaughter’s attitude towards Jian Wuji, really was.

“If I had known, I should have, promised him.” Qin Xia Ling said with feigned regret.

Qin Zhantian looked at his granddaughter, and secretly said in his heart, “This girl, it can’t be, really like, that kid, right?”

“Grandpa, don’t joke around.” Qin Xia Ling said with a smile.

“Of course I’m joking.” Qin Botian said.

How could he, really, marry his granddaughter, to a person from a devilish sect? The reason why he would treat Jian Wuji, with a different eye, was simply because, Jian Wuji was too outstanding.

Just then, Qin Xiajun walked into the great hall.

“Grandpa.”

“Xia Jun, you’re here too.” Qin Botian looked at his grandson and said with a smile.

“I heard that you have, recently, been in closed-door cultivation?”

“Yes, Grandpa.” Qin Xiajun replied.

“Xia Ling, you came to see me, what is it?” Qin Botian asked.

“Grandpa, I would like to ask you, to do me a favor.” Qin Xia Ling said.

“What favor?” Qin Botian asked.

“The Young Sect Master of the Demon Sect, is here. He said that he has something, to report to you.” Qin Xiajun said.

The three of them, in order to avoid, arousing Qin Botian’s suspicion, that’s why, they acted separately.

Qin Xia Ling said in mock surprise, “What is he doing here?”

In fact, in her heart, she had already been excited.

“Before he comes in, I would like to first, request something from you.” Qin Xialing said.

“What is it?” Qin Botian asked.

“I don’t know, what kind of request, the Demon Sect’s Young Sect Master, will make to you. But, if his request, is reasonable, I hope, you can, support me.” Qin Xia Ling said.

The reason why she would make, such a request, was because, she wanted to, for Jian Wuji, gain more support.

“Some time ago, when the Demon Extermination Team was on a mission, there was a, child disappearance case. You should know about this matter, right?” Qin Xia Ling asked. Qin Botian nodded, he had already received, the relevant report. He felt relieved to learn that the children, were safe and sound. So, when he heard that, Sword Wuji had come, his heart was, in fact, somewhat happy.
