Chapter 0379 – Heart Demon Encounter – Absolute Return

“I learned from the Young Prelate that he had removed the spell from those children, and, sent them home. Do you know about this?” Qin Xia Ling asked.

“I know.” Qin Botian said.

“This matter was originally the duty of the Demon Extermination Team. Therefore, I owe the Young Sect Master, a favor. I hope that I can take this opportunity to repay him.” Qin Xia Ling said.

Qin Botian readily agreed to his granddaughter’s request.

“Okay, I promise.”

Not long after, Jian Wuji walked into the grand hall.

“Farewell, Alliance Lord.” Jian Wuji saluted Qin Botian.

“Sit down.” Qin Botian said indifferently.

He carefully sized up Jian Wuji.

Jian Wuji’s eyes were even clearer and deeper than before.

“This kid’s strength, it’s refined quite a bit again.” Qin Botian secretly said in his heart.

The more he looked at Jian Wuji, the more he felt, pity.

Jian Wuji greeted Qin Xia Ling, “Miss Qin, it’s been a long time, goodbye.”

“It’s so unaccustomed to not having a maid to wait on you.” Qin Xia Ling said with a smile.

“If you are willing, I can, at any time, be your maid.” Jian Wuji said with a smile.

Although he knew that Qin Xiaoling was joking, he still couldn’t help it, a ripple in his heart.

“I heard that you were in the Alliance of the Righteous Path and made a great achievement, saving those children. That’s really awesome.” Qin Xia Ling said.

She intentionally brought up this matter again, just to, make her grandfather feel good about Jian Wuji.

“I was just lucky. Thanks to the help of the Righteous Alliance.” Jian Wuji said modestly.

After exchanging pleasantries, Jian Wuji stated, the purpose of his trip.

“This time, when I went to the Righteous Alliance, I was honored by the hospitality of the Lord of the Righteous Alliance. Therefore, I invited him and went to the tavern I always go to for a drink.”

When Qin Botian heard this, his face instantly became gloomy.

A powerful pressure, emanated from his body, and the entire hall, as if in an instant, turned into an ice cellar.

Qin Xiajun and Qin Xialing, both looked at Jian Wuji nervously.

They knew that if it were someone else, they were afraid that they would have been killed by their grandfather, with a slap.

However, Sword Wuji looked as normal as he continued, “The Righteous Alliance Master said that he doesn’t want to, let you misunderstand. Therefore, I have specially come to explain to you, and I hope that you won’t misunderstand.”

Qin Botian’s face, became even more unsightly.

In his opinion, the Demon Sect and the Alliance of the Righteous Path, secretly colluding, this was simply, a provocation to the martial arts!

“You guys are, like, cheating us!” Qin Xia Ling took the lead and said.

The reason why she would, be the first to stand up against it, was because, she knew that if she showed, support for Jian Wu Ji, her grandfather would be even more angry.

Qin Xiajun, on the other hand, didn’t say a word and just stood quietly on the sidelines.

He had already told his grandfather in advance that he owed Jian Wuji a favor. Therefore, he could, for now, only remain silent.

“If you want to collude, collude openly and honestly, why are you deceiving us?” Qin Xia Ling questioned.

“Who said, we were meeting in private? Aren’t we, openly and honestly, telling you?” Jian Wuji asked rhetorically.

“Do you guys really think that we will believe that you are simply, going to drink and chat?” Qin Xia Ling said.

“If we really wanted, a secret meeting, we wouldn’t have chosen, that tavern in Maga Village.” Jian Wu Ji said.

“Why did you choose, to meet at that tavern?” Qin Xiaoling asked.

The question, on the spur of the moment, came to her.

She had, before, also heard Jian Wuji talk about that tavern.

“That tavern is called the Windfall Tavern. The owner’s name, is Zhao Chunpei. He is a, very nice person, and his cooking skills, are also very good. The atmosphere of that tavern, was also very good. Sitting by the window on the second floor, drinking while enjoying the scenery, you will understand what the meaning of life, really is.” Jian Wu Ji said.

Qin Xiaoling suddenly, very much wanted to visit that tavern.

What exactly would Jian Wuji be there and see?

“The tables there, they’re sturdy, even if a martial arts master comes, they can’t break them. The guests there, they are all very enthusiastic, even if a righteous alliance leader came, they wouldn’t be afraid.” Jian Wuji continued.

“Why?” Qin Xiaoling asked curiously.

Jian Wuji looked at Qin Xiaoling and said seriously, “Because, there is my Devil Dao there.”

His words caused Qin Xia Ling, to fall into deep thought.

What, exactly, did he mean by his words?

She didn’t have time, however, to think about it.

She must, continue to play, the role of the naysayer.

“Don’t you dare be there, with your flowery words! We won’t believe you!” Qin Xia Ling said.

“We’re just here, asking for your opinion. If you don’t agree, we won’t force ourselves.” Jian Wuji looked at Qin Botian and said.

Qin Xia Ling quickly said, “Grandpa, you must not agree to him!”

Seeing his granddaughter, so agitated, Qin Botian calmed down instead.

“Xia Ling, calm down first.” Qin Botian said.

“Grandpa, they’re, like, cheating us!” Qin Xia Ling said.

“Enough!” Qin Botian chided.

“I’m sorry, Grandpa.” Qin Xia Ling lowered her head and said.

Qin Zhantian turned his head to Qin Xiajun and asked, “Xiajun, what do you think?”

Qin Xiajun thought for a moment and said, “You don’t think that you’re thinking of, taking the opportunity to kill the Righteous Alliance Leader, do you?”

His words caused Qin Botian, in his heart, to be startled.

Before, he had been worried that the Devil Cult and the Righteous Alliance, would join forces against the Martial Arts Alliance. Yet, he had never thought that the Devil Cult would go after the Orthodox Alliance, and lay hands on them.

“What are you babbling about?” Jian Wuji hurriedly denied.

“You don’t think that you’re thinking of, taking the opportunity to weaken the strength of the Righteous Alliance, do you? If the Head of the Righteous Alliance, during this meeting, has an accident, then the Young Alliance Head of the Righteous Alliance will succeed as the Head of the Alliance. And you and the Young Alliance Master of the Orthodox Alliance, have a good relationship, don’t you?” Qin Xiajun continued.

Qin Xia Ling also reacted and said, “So that’s how it is, you’re trying to, control the Righteous Alliance! No wonder, before, you wanted to make friends with the Young Alliance Leader of the Righteous Path Alliance,!”

Qin Botian felt that their speculations were, well, reasonable.

Moreover, Jian Wuji’s behavior was somewhat suspicious.

He had always been confident, but now, he looked a little flustered.

“What I said is true!” Jian Wuji said.

“Yes?” Qin Xia Ling said with a cold smile.

Jian Wuji looked at Qin Botian and said, “If you are like your granddaughter and don’t believe in me, then I’ll take my leave.”

With that, he turned around and walked away.

Seeing Jian Wuji, so dryly, turn around and leave, Qin Botian, on the contrary, felt a bit puzzled.

“This kid, in his gourd, what kind of medicine is he selling?”

He always felt that Sword Wuji had come to the Martial Arts Alliance this time, surely, for another purpose.

“Wait!” Just as Jian Wuji, was about to walk out of the grand hall, Qin Botian suddenly called out to him.

“Allied Lord, what else do you command?” Jian Wuji turned around and asked.

“I’m going too.” Qin Botian said.

Jian Wuji froze when he heard this.

“You don’t have to go, you just, don’t misunderstand us.” Jian Wuji said in a hurry.

However, Qin Botian said with a resolute attitude, “If I say I’m going, I’m going!”
