Capítulo 1495: Chapter 1499: Heading to the Venue

“There’s nothing to thank me for. I just happened to pass by the Beidou Palace and ran into them, so I gave a few pointers. It’s nothing really, you don’t need to thank me,” Liu Muqing said with a laugh, clearly dismissing the matter.

“But I must thank you. If it weren’t for you, my brothers might not have been able to release the Heaven and Earth Qi within them. So I want to thank you, Sect Leader Brother!”

Sect Leader Liu Muqing chuckled, “Alright then, since you’re so sincere in your gratitude, I accept it. But you didn’t come here just to thank me, did you? Go ahead, tell me what’s on your mind.”

Lin Fei admired Liu Muqing. Even without the Dou Sect master’s Mind Reading Technique, he could clearly tell that Lin Fei wasn’t simply here to see him, and the result was evidently not.

“Hehe, Senior Brother, you truly are wise. You’re remarkable. I didn’t come for my brothers’ apologies; I came because of the book you gave me. It seems there are some records saying that you once visited the Upper Realm, but for some reason, you returned. Am I right?”

Lin Fei voiced the doubts within his heart, and Sect Leader Liu Muqing nodded, “It’s true that I visited the Upper Realm, but as for why I returned, I’d rather not discuss it…”

Liu Muqing straightforwardly admitted Lin Fei’s claim but expressed clearly that he was unwilling to explain. Lin Fei could only abandon the matter; since Liu Muqing didn’t want to talk, forcing him would be futile, so Lin Fei dropped his thoughts on the matter.

“If that’s the case, then I won’t ask. I’d like to know, do you punish the disciples, Senior Brother Liu Muqing?” Lin Fei asked a question Qingfeng had raised, eager to hear Liu Muqing’s response.

Liu Muqing nodded his head, “Indeed, there is punishment, but it involves only those disobedient bad disciples. I do it to educate them, to prevent them from wasting time. Unfortunately, some disciples don’t take me seriously, so I gave them a minor reprimand.”

“I see, I understand now,” Lin Fei nodded. He didn’t disagree with such an approach, nor did he have any objections, as long as no lives were lost.

Besides, Lin Fei had no authority over the matter. Since Liu Muqing is the Sect Leader, he would have his own discretion, unlikely to do anything inappropriate, so Lin Fei didn’t continue the discussion.

Lin Fei had no doubts left, but the Sect Leader indeed had some, “Lin Fei, how did you learn about my disciplining the disciples?”

“Me? Haha, I heard it from Qingfeng. She came to my house and mentioned it,” Lin Fei laughed, not hiding any details.

“Ah, so it was Junior Sister Qingfeng who disapproved of my educational methods and decided to leave. It seems I need to reflect on this, or else other disciples might follow suit,” Liu Muqing shook his head with a sigh, indicating he needed to change.

“Sect Leader Brother, since the matter is resolved, I’ll take my leave now and return when the Martial Arts Tournament starts, alright?”

Lin Fei sought the opinion of Sect Leader Liu Muqing, as Liu Muqing handled affairs he couldn’t manage himself.

“Very well, off you go. By the way, have you cultivated the martial arts skills I gave you? How are they? If they’re not suitable, stop. Don’t force yourself, or it might backfire,” Liu Muqing reminded Lin Fei.

Lin Fei smiled, “No problem; I’ve already cleared the twelve major meridians. Once I fully control this power, I’ll be able to cultivate the next level. But Senior Brother, are there more levels to this cultivation technique?”

Liu Muqing smiled and shook his head, “This cultivation technique is my own creation. I no longer have the mind to research the issue, being occupied with sect matters. That’s why I entrusted it to you, hoping you can innovate and fend off external threats.”

“I won’t let you down, Senior Brother. Farewell.”

After a word, Lin Fei turned and left, heading towards the hall.

Upon arriving at the hall, Lin Fei smiled and shared his thoughts and current situation with his brothers before leading them out of Beidou Sect, heading home.

At home, the Heaven and Earth Qi may not be as abundant as in Beidou Sect, but Lin Fei favored it here, for its freedom and lack of worries.

Besides, Qingfeng was also here, making Lin Fei’s nights delightful…

In the blink of an eye, three months passed by completely. Lin Fei and his comrades prepared, leaving the women at home as this Martial Arts Tournament was highly confidential, with no information allowed to leak, and so Lin Fei and his brothers left the villa.

After this period of training, the brothers’ muscles were more robust, enriched with the use of Heaven and Earth Qi. Now, if they were placed on the battlefield, they would undoubtedly be a sweeping force.

Lin Fei didn’t overthink it, leading the three men, along with Qingfeng.

Back at Beidou Sect, the disciples, sect-wide, were fully prepared. They endured considerable hardships for the Martial Arts Tournament.

At this point, Sect Leader Liu Muqing also stepped out, approaching Lin Fei, “Junior Brother Lin Fei, I didn’t expect you to arrive so early.”

Lin Fei chuckled, “I wouldn’t call it early; upon my arrival, Sect Leader Brother, you’re already set to depart. How could this be considered early?”

“Hahahaha, alright, you with your sharp tongue. I can’t compete with your words. Since we’re ready, let’s set off,” Liu Muqing said with a laugh, preparing to head towards the plains.

Lin Fei already knew where the battleground was located. Even though close to Man Mountain, it wasn’t far, residing amidst Five Mountains. Upon their arrival, Lin Fei observed the place teeming with cultivators, not a single ordinary person.

Lin Fei gazed upon the vast grassland, adorned with various decorations, towering arenas visible from afar, standing two meters tall, surrounded by open space shared with rows of seated spectators.

As they arrived, they immediately recognized an old acquaintance. Lin Fei remembered this figure clearly, for he was Murong Gang from the Murong Family.

Murong Gang indeed counted as an old acquaintance, yet if not for his family’s affairs, Lin Fei wouldn’t be so focused.
