Chapter 202 - Little Junior Brother, I’m Going To Customize A Tough Training Plan For You
Chapter 202: Little Junior Brother, I’m Going To Customize A Tough Training Plan For You
In the capital of Jin Nation.
As Ye Ping walked out of the Teleportation Array, an extremely familiar figure appeared in front of Ye Ping.
It was Su Changyu.
Not far away, Su Changyu was dressed in a light white long robe which was extraordinary as it looked like snow from afar. There were also faint rays of white light surrounding it.
The robe alone attracted the gazes of countless people on the streets.
Coupled with Su Changyu’s stunning appearance and his extraordinary aura, he could be considered the center of attention as people of all ages and gender on the street were staring at him.
“Eldest Senior Brother!”
Ye Ping’s voice sounded. He was smiling with some excitement in his eyes.
On the street, Su Changyu quietly sensed the envious gazes of the crowd.
However, a familiar voice suddenly sounded, making Su Changyu stunned.
“It’s Ye Ping?”
Su Changyu was stunned and soon couldn’t help but be overjoyed.
He turned around and looked in the direction of the voice, only to discover Ye Ping.
In an instant, Su Changyu saw Ye Ping.
“Little Junior Brother.”
Su Changyu spoke, his voice filled with excitement. However, his unique aura made him look extremely calm.
“Greetings, Senior Brother.”
Ye Ping quickly walked over and stood in front of Su Changyu before bowing to him, unable to hide the joy on his face.
“Yes.”
Su Changyu nodded before turning to look at Ye Ping curiously.
“Aren’t you in the Jin Nation Academy? Why have you returned?”
Su Changyu’s eyes were full of curiosity as he wondered why Ye Ping was back again even though he had gone to the Jin Nation Academy.
“Senior Brother, I spent the past few days participating in the Ten Nations Grand Tournament. Now that it has ended, I came back.”
Ye Ping asked.
“Ten Nations Grand Tournament?”
Su Changyu was slightly stunned. He didn’t know what the Ten Nations Grand Tournament was.
At this point, he spoke up.
“Ten Nations Grand Tournament? I’m afraid that the Ten Nations Grand Tournament still hasn’t ended yet, right?”
The person who spoke was Taishang Xuanji.
He said slowly, full of curiosity.
Indeed, the Ten Nations Grand Tournament had yet to end for others, but for Ye Ping, the Ten Nations Grand Tournament had already ended.
“Who is this?”
Ye Ping looked at Su Changyu curiously and asked. After all, he had seen Su Changyu standing with those two people just now.
“These are Fellow Daoists, Old Xia and Old Xuan.”
At the mention of Taishang Xuanji and the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, Su Changyu couldn’t help but be overjoyed.
They were both good people.
They were truly nice people who had given him lots of clothes without asking for anything in return.
Su Changyu introduced the two of them to Ye Ping.
“Fellow Daoist?”
Ye Ping glanced at the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty and Taishang Xuanji before saying respectfully, “Greetings, Senior Brother Xia, Senior Brother Xuan.”
Ye Ping seemed very respectful and well-mannered.
However, when he said that, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty and Taishang Xuanji couldn’t help but be stunned.
They suddenly had a Junior Brother out of nowhere and they were both caught between laughter and tears. However, after thinking about it, the two of them still had nothing to say, especially the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty. As long as Su Changyu was happy, he would be fine.
“Junior Brother, although you did not do well in the Ten Nations Grand Tournament, you don’t have to be too dejected. Do you plan to return to the sect for a short stay of a few days or a long stay?”
Su Changyu asked Ye Ping.
He subconsciously felt that Ye Ping had lost in the Ten Nations Competition, so he tried to comfort him.
Although Su Changyu knew that his junior brother was extremely talented and was a supreme elite, he felt that he could not compare to others in the Ten Nations.
That was also the reason why he thought that Ye Ping had lost.
“Senior Brother, after participating in the Ten Nations Competition, I understood many of my shortcomings, so this time, I intend to stay in the sect for a long time.”
Ye Ping said extremely seriously.
This time, during the Ten Nations Grand Tournament, Ye Ping had understood a lot of things and knew that he had a lot of flaws too. Hence, he decided to cultivate well in the sect until he was strong enough before leaving.
“Good.”
Su Changyu nodded. He seemed extremely calm and mysterious.
“I’m heartened to know that you’re aware of your own shortcomings.”
“A true powerhouse doesn’t become strong at all times, they only know of their own shortcomings.”
“Junior Brother, it’s good that you have the heart of a peerless powerhouse.”
Su Changyu spoke again.
Coupled with his extraordinary aura and mysterious gaze, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of enlightenment.
Even Taishang Xuanji and the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty at the side froze in shock.
The reason being, when Su Changyu said those words, he somehow gave others a good impression.
It was as if there was a supreme truth.
He looked at Su Changyu’s realm and cultivation level.
‘Uh…’
He couldn’t bear to look at it.
Taishang Xuanji knew in an instant that Su Changyu was fooling others, and at the same time, he couldn’t help but tense up too.
The reason being, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty hated such pretentious people. The Crown Prince once tried boasting in front of the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty and he almost had his legs broken.
Would the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty start feeling disgusted towards Su Changyu?
Thinking of this, Taishang Xuanji could not help but look at him.
However, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, who was at the side, did not seem displeased at all. In fact, he was even smiling and seemed to be very pleased with Su Changyu.
Taishang Xuanji was at a loss for words.
He was praying silently for the Crown Prince.
However, although Su Changyu was pretending, he made it seem very real.
If Su Changyu could cover up his realm, it would really be perfect.
Thinking of this, Taishang Xuanji could not help but stare at him. He somehow thought of something but finally fell silent.
“Thank you for your compliment, Senior Brother.”
Upon hearing Su Changyu’s compliment, Ye Ping was overjoyed.
However, in the next moment, Su Changyu’s expression was extremely calm as he looked at Ye Ping.
“Junior Brother, now that you’re back for a long stay, I’ll put you through rigorous training.”
“The rest of your Senior Brothers will also put you through harsh training, got it?”
Su Changyu said, looking extremely calm.
Now, he had gotten the inheritance of the Seven Ancient Kings. Although he had only obtained a white flying sword, Su Changyu was an incredible person.
Usually, he would have a sense of superiority without doing anything and now that he had gone out to obtain an inheritance, Su Changyu felt that he was about to ascend.
Hence, Su Changyu intended to give Ye Ping some pointers, it had indeed been a long time since he gave Ye Ping some guidance.
He decided to take advantage of Ye Ping’s loss in the Ten Nations Grand Tournament to give him some guidance. That would not be too bad.
“Alright.”
Upon hearing the harsh training plan, Ye Ping not only did not feel upset, he even seemed rather pleased.
He wished that he could learn more things. During the Ten Nations Grand Tournament this time, he really wanted to ascend.
“Let’s go.”
Su Changyu did not say anything more and simply brought Ye Ping back to the Qingyun Dao Sect.
He could reach the Qingyun Dao Sect from the capital of the Jin Nation. Normally speaking, it wouldn’t take long if he used the Teleportation Array.
However, Su Changyu did not choose to use the Teleportation Array and instead chose to use a flying sword to cross over cities.
It didn’t matter to Ye Ping. As for Taishang Xuanji, he mainly respected the decisions of the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty. If the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty was happy, he would definitely be overjoyed.
Seven full days passed.
Everyone arrived below the Qingyun Dao Sect.
However, the only difference was that…
In the past, there was basically no one in the Qingyun Dao Sect, but this time, there were lots of craftsmen.
Su Changyu was curious.
He didn’t know what was going on in the Qingyun Dao Sect.
Ye Ping seemed rather curious too, but after thinking about it, he felt that the Sect Leader should be building the foundation.
The four of them went up the mountain together.
They soon heard Daoist Tai Hua’s voice.
“Be gentle, don’t damage it. These are superior-class glazed tiles, each piece costs two taels of silver.”
“When will the fireproof wood be delivered? Go back and tell your boss that we’ll have to dock the remunerations if he’s so slow with the delivery.”
“Yes, yes, place this golden tripod at the main entrance.”
Before Ye Ping and Su Changyu could walk in, they heard the voice of Daoist Taihua at the entrance of Qingyun Dao Sect.
Daoist Tai Hua’s voice was very loud as he commanded many craftsmen who were working on a huge construction.
“Master!”
After walking out of the mountain, Ye Ping exclaimed.
Daoist Tai Hua, who was overseeing the construction, couldn’t help but stare at Ye Ping, followed by Su Changyu too.
‘Indeed, Changyu always survives.’
When Daoist Tai Hua saw Su Changyu, he couldn’t help but sigh with relief. All the worries that he had before vanished after seeing Su Changyu.
“Ye Ping, Changyu, you guys are back.”
Daoist Tai Hua adjusted his robe and immediately walked towards Su Changyu and Ye Ping.
At the same time, Daoist Tai Hua could not help but look at the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty and Taishang Xuanji with a slight frown.
Perhaps Ye Ping and Su Changyu did not know how to judge others, but the intelligent Daoist Tai Hua could tell at a glance that the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty and Taishang Xuanji were not ordinary people.
“Who are those two people?”
Daoist Tai Hua was a little curious as he looked at Taishang Xuanji and the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty with his eyes full of doubt.
“They are my friends, Old Xia and Old Xuan.”
Su Changyu explained.
“Oh.” Daoist Tai Hua nodded and said, “Since they’re Changyu’s friends, that makes them guests of my Qingyun Dao Sect. I’ll cook later to receive them.”
Daoist Tai Hua was actually more hospitable, but no one came to Qingyun Dao Sect, so he couldn’t show off his culinary skills. Now that the Qingyun Dao Sect had improved, he had to improve the hospitality too.
“You’re being too polite.”
“Sir, you’re standing on ceremony.”
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty and Taishang Xuanji said with faint smiles on their faces. After all, since they were guests, they couldn’t pull a long face all the time.
“No, no, Changyu, quickly go and arrange the accommodation for our guests. During your absence, I built a new room, just in time for the guests to stay.”
Daoist Tai Hua was all smiles.
Su Changyu nodded and led the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty and Taishang Xuanji inside.
“Ye Ping, stay back. I have something to ask you.”
Daoist Tai Hua asked Ye Ping to stay.
“Alright.”
Ye Ping nodded.
After Su Changyu left, Daoist Tai Hua couldn’t help but speak up.
“Ye Ping, what is the origin of these two people?”
Daoist Tai Hua asked Ye Ping with his eyes full of curiosity.
“Master, I’m not sure either. Eldest Senior Brother and I met at the Jin Nation Teleportation Array. I don’t know.”
“However, after hearing what Eldest Senior Brother said, he seems to have met them along the journey. They’re very generous too. The apparel that Eldest Senior Brother is wearing now is a gift from them.”
Ye Ping did not know much about the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty and Taishang Xuanji, and only knew a small part of what happened.
“The clothes are gifts from them? That explains it. The clothes he’s wearing are worth lots of money. It’s at least a few thousands of taels of gold. It’s such a waste.”
Daoist Tai Hua nodded and continued immediately afterwards.
“Ye Ping, why are you back again?”
Since Ye Ping did not know where the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty came from, Daoist Tai Hua could not help but look a little curious and asked for the reason why Ye Ping had returned again.
“Master, I participated in the Ten Nations Grand Tournament some days ago and discovered my shortcomings. Now, I’m back because I want to study and learn properly within the sect to strengthen my foundation.”
Ye Pinge explained to Daoist Tai Hua.
“Ten Nations Grand Tournament?”
Unfortunately, Daoist Tai Hua did not know what Ye Ping was talking about because he had little to no knowledge of the Ten Nations Grand Tournament.
“Yes.”
Ye Ping nodded.
“Okay, since you are willing to come back, I won’t say anything more. It just so happens that your Senior Brothers have received some creation some days ago, they might be able to teach you some more things.”
Daoist Tai Hua nodded. Just like Su Changyu, Daoist Tai Hua thought that Ye Ping had lost at the Ten Nations Competition and had been dealt a blow, which was the reason he chose to return to the sect for a period of rest.
However, after thinking about it, he felt that it made sense. Ye Ping had only been cultivating for less than half a year. Even though he was an elite who excelled in Qingzhou, it would be normal for him to suffer some setbacks in the Ten Nations.
“Creation?”
Ye Ping was a little curious and looked at Daoist Tai Hua.
“Yes, some days ago, Changyu happened to learn of a mystic realm which he could enter with his own abilities. So, he invited your Senior Brothers and of course I joined them too.”
“It’s not that I’m bragging, but if it wasn’t for me, I’m afraid it would be impossible for Changyu and the others to even get the opportunity.”
At the mention of the Seven Ancient Kings mystic realm, Daoist Tai Hua couldn’t help but be a little smug.
“You guys entered the mystic realm together?”
However, Ye Ping was a little shocked after hearing Daoist Tai Hua’s words.
The Senior Brothers in the sect were all talents and elites. Yet, they had to enter the mystic realm together?
That seemed a little exaggerated to Ye Ping.
‘What kind of mystic realm was that?’
At the same time, Ye Ping felt rather upset as he thought, ‘Why did they find the mystic realm only after I left? Had I known, I wouldn’t have gone to Jin Nation Academy.’
He wouldn’t participate in the Ten Nations Grand Tournament either.
In Ye Ping’s opinion, the Ten Nations Grand Tournament was not as good as the mystic realm.
At this moment, Daoist Tai Hua spoke again.
“By the way, Ye Ping, I’ve done some divination for you.”
Daoist Tai Hua suddenly spoke. Ever since he obtained the Eight Trigrams diagram, he didn’t have the chance to use it at all. However, now that Ye Ping had arrived, he naturally had to showcase his abilities in front of Ye Ping.
Otherwise, what if Ye Ping thought that he was a good-for-nothing?
“Alright, thank you, Master.”
Ye Ping nodded.
Daoist Tai Hua immediately took out the Eight Trigrams diagram.
In an instant, the light of the Eight Trigrams diagram shot everywhere while runic shadows surrounded Daoist Tai Hua’s hands.
“Supreme heavenly secret.”
Daoist Tai Hua moved his hands and there was soon an explosive sound.
Immediately afterwards, several runic characters appeared.
“Too ominous.”
He inhaled sharply.
In an instant, Daoist Tai Hua furrowed his brows.
“This is bad.”
He had an extremely grave expression which made Ye Ping somehow become nervous.
“Master, what’s the matter?”
Ye Ping asked with some curiosity.
“Ye Ping, you’re going to encounter a huge tribulation recently, so you have to be very careful and stay in the sect. Do not go anywhere, do you understand?”
“I’ll help you see how we can resolve it.”
Daoist Tai Hua put away the Eight Trigrams diagram. Immediately afterwards, he looked at Ye Ping seriously.
“A huge tribulation? Alright, Master, rest assured. I won’t go anywhere during this period of time. I’ll just stay in the sect.”
Hearing what Daoist Tai Hua said, Ye Ping was not particularly afraid and was instead extremely grateful.
Fortunately, he had returned to the sect.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t know how he died if there was a huge tribulation.
“Okay, go back and get some rest. I’ll think of a solution for you.”
Daoist Tai Hua got serious too.
To be honest, if Ye Ping really encountered a huge tribulation, he would naturally do his best to help Ye Ping overcome it.
However, in the end, Daoist Tai Hua did another divination for him.
It was huge auspiciousness.
Daoist Tai Hua immediately heaved a sigh of relief. Clearly, Ye Ping’s tribulation was a personal one.
Seeing that Ye Ping was going to encounter a huge calamity, Daoist Tai Hua was rather worried because he was scared that the Seven Ancient Kings mystic realm might affect Ye Ping.
However, after looking at it now, it was obviously not related to the Seven Ancient Kings mystic realm.
That was a good thing.
He could resolve it slowly.
He would at most use his great auspiciousness to resolve Ye Ping’s ominousness.
At the thought of this, Daoist Tai Hua couldn’t help but look at Ye Ping who had already gone far.
At the same time, in another place.
The new residence building of the Qingyun Dao Sect was indeed extraordinary.
There were dragon sculptures and phoenix paintings which looked much grander and splendid than before.
“Little Friend Changyu, where did you live before this?”
Looking at the brand new residence building, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty was extremely curious as they asked Su Changyu where he was living before this.
“Oh, I’m not particular about my residence. I live here.”
Su Changyu pointed to the house near him.
The house was very shabby and it was obviously not a good place.
Seeing this scene, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty felt a little sad.
He stayed silent while Taishang Xuanji couldn’t help but speak up.
“It seems that your sect has improved greatly now. A new residence has been built. It’s not bad.”
“However, why did they choose fire-resistant wood? Are they scared that there would be rampant fires?”
Taishang Xuanji chuckled with his eyes full of curiosity.
He could tell at a glance that the wood was fireproof and was curious.
Su Changyu answered, “I don’t know.”
“By the way, Little Friend Changyu, is that one outside your Master?”
Taishang Xuanji did not dwell on the fireproof wood and instead asked another question.
As Taishang Xuanji asked that question, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty tensed up.
He looked at Su Changyu and for some reason, he somehow felt a little nervous.
“Naturally.”
Su Changyu answered subconsciously.
However, Taishang Xuanji immediately spoke up.
“Little friend, what about your parents?”
Taishang Xuanji asked curiously.
After hearing that, Su Changyu couldn’t help but frown.
Along the way, the two of them had been asking him some strange questions from time to time.
Su Changyu was puzzled.
‘Why do they keep asking about my parents?’
‘Do they know each other?’
