Boarding Life

Chapter 737:

Ming Yao directly ignored Wan Huarou’s unfriendly gaze that was like a poisonous snake.

She directly took Qin Qi’s right arm, "Brother Qin Qi, don’t worry, our Ming Family will definitely stand by your side. If the Holy Maiden Association wants to act unreasonably, our Ming Family will not tolerate it."

Wan Huarou immediately took Qin Qi’s left arm, "Ming Yao, don’t pretend you’re so close to Brother Qin Qi; our Wan Family is the same, unconditionally supporting Brother Qin Qi!"

Xue Yun furrowed her brows.

Who exactly is this Qin Qi?

Previously, even the number one prodigy of the Martial Arts District, Zhang Quande of the Zhang Family, did not receive this kind of treatment. He could garner such favor from both Ming Family and Wan Family prodigies.

If only the Wan Family spoke up, their Holy Maiden Association could still manage the pressure.

Now, with the Ming Family also in the mix, the situation becomes significantly different.

Moreover, at the same time, many people were drawn out by the sound of the bell, choosing to keep their distance as if intending to watch a good show.

Just as the atmosphere was becoming tense!

Soon, a muffled voice sounded from within the Holy Maiden Association’s estate, "Haha, the Wan Family and Ming Family both making statements for one young man. Haha, isn’t that interesting!"

Upon hearing this voice, Xue Yun immediately turned back and respectfully bowed towards the direction of the estate’s air, "Leader!"

The owner of the voice did not show themselves, but their voice sounded again, "Since Shuangshuang joined our Holy Maiden Association, she naturally belongs to us."

"Our Holy Maiden Association has the right to decide whether she can interact with the outside world. However, we are not unreasonable people, as her master, it’s not impossible for you to see her."

"But you claim to be her master, you must demonstrate your capabilities as her master."

"If you don’t have that ability, considering Shuangshuang’s future, we naturally won’t let her be held back by you!"

Qin Qi listened to the voice, attempting to use the Profound Pure Spirit Eye to locate the owner of the mysterious voice.

Unfortunately, he frowned, "In the eyes of the Holy Maiden Association, what counts as having ability?"

The voice sounded again, "Xue Yun, take him to Shi Chongfeng, if he can reach the peak of Shi Chongfeng, then it proves he indeed has the capability."

"Reach the peak of Shi Chongfeng?"

Xue Yun shuddered slightly.

The leader’s demand seems overly exaggerated. After all, even the Holy Maiden Association’s top prodigy, Wenren Xiaoxian, only reached about eight hundred meters, still two hundred meters from the peak!

She quickly understood.

The leader was just using this to trouble Qin Qi, not intending to let Wu Shuangshuang see him again.

She immediately smiled and said, "Alright, you two, you’ve heard the leader’s words. To see Wu Shuangshuang, prove your strength to us."

"It’s fitting with so many here today, they can all serve as witnesses!"

Qin Qi judged through Xue Yun’s eyes that the leader’s words regarding Shi Chongfeng certainly weren’t simple.

However, the situation has reached this point; even joint pressure from the Wan Family and Ming Family hadn’t compelled the Holy Maiden Association to fully concede, leaving him with no other options.

After all, the two families are only helping on the surface; if interests are involved, he doesn’t believe the old foxes Wan Hao and Ming Hu will truly be open-hearted.

With that thought, Qin Qi nodded, "I have no problem!"

"Let’s go!" Xue Yun didn’t waste words, leading Qin Qi and the others deeper into the mountains to the right.

Qin Qi’s three companions closely followed.

And those drawn by the bell to witness the drama, immediately followed.

"Quick, Qin Qi is in a showdown with the Holy Maiden Association."

"Haha, challenging Shi Chongfeng, it’s interesting!"

"What exactly is Shi Chongfeng?"

Many discussed spiritedly, trailing closely.

On any other day, Xue Yun and people from the Holy Maiden Association wouldn’t let them linger. But today, their primary aim is to have Qin Qi give up.

The more witnesses, the less chance for Qin Qi to play tricks!

Qin Qi was quite curious, "What exactly is Shi Chongfeng?"

Wan Huarou gently shook her head, "I don’t know either!"

Ming Yao grinning brightly from the side, "Hua Rou sister seems to be all about fun, never bothering to learn other knowledge, huh."

"Shi Chongfeng is a very peculiar peak; the gravity of the peak increases with the elevation!"

"Hence, Shi Chongfeng has a thousand-meter stair to climb. It’s said that years ago, people intended to uncover the secret of Shi Chongfeng. Unfortunately, its mystery has never been solved!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Qi’s mouth twitched.

Is Shi Chongfeng really so dangerous? Maybe I agreed a bit too quickly.

Ming Yao just relished her own erudition.

Who knew she’d be immediately mocked by Xue Yun, "Miss Ming claims to be so knowledgeable, yet doesn’t know the truth?"

"The truth?" Ming Yao was naturally displeased by Xue Yun’s jab, "What truth!"

Xue Yun snorted, "Because at the peak of Shi Chongfeng is our Holy Maiden Association’s treasure vault, housing many treasures preserved till now."

"According to our Holy Maiden Association’s succession rules, anyone under 25 who reaches the treasure vault may take one item from it."

"Back then, the supposed explorers attempting to uncover Shi Chongfeng’s secret were actually from thirty years ago, the people of your Five Great Clans."

"Oh right, your two elders, currently in charge of the two families, Ming Hu and Wan Hao, were part of them! So, solving Shi Chongfeng’s mystery was merely your Five Great Clans coveting our treasured inheritance!"

Watching Ming Yao being rebutted speechless, Wan Huarou didn’t hold back mocking, "Oh dear, Ming Yao, I thought you were so learned. Turns out you’re just a half-baked scholar. I genuinely don’t know; isn’t it better than pretending to know?"

Ming Yao intended to shine in front of Qin Qi, now publicly embarrassed, naturally quite upset.

She snorted, "But it’s your Holy Maiden Association’s rule. You allow anyone to reach the treasure vault, yet blame others for attempting it?"

"I’m just ridiculing your Five Great Clans’ behavior; clearly coveting our Holy Maiden Association’s treasures, but boasting about it afterward!" Xue Yun sneered.

Qin Qi frowned, "So, you mean the various prodigies of the Five Great Clans all failed back then?"

Xue Yun, bearing a victorious smirk, said, "Indeed, and to tell you the truth, not only the Five Great Clans’ prodigies, but even within the Holy Maiden Association, very few reached the peak."

"Among them, even my exceptionally gifted senior sister barely reached about eight hundred meters!"

Qin Qi’s mouth twitched, "Damn? And you let me reach the peak?"

Xue Yun smiled charmingly, "Wasn’t it Qin Qi sir, yourself who agreed?"
