Chapter 523 - 504: Sun Zhe’s Terrifying Identity!
Chapter 523 - 504: Sun Zhe’s Terrifying Identity!
Watching Fang Xing’s luxury sports car disappear behind the villa gate, Lin Shuqing turned to look at Sun Zhe, her gaze carrying a bit of blame, but more worry.
Worry for Sun Zhe’s safety and the future of Jiewu Palace.
In terms of individual strength, Sun Zhe’s talent naturally surpassed that of Fang Xing, but behind Fang Xing stood the entire Qingyao Sect!
And Fang Xing’s mother, known as the "Qingyao Fairy," was the Sect Master of Qingyao, whose individual strength ranked among the top thirty in the Martial Artist Realm of Hua Country!
"Ah Zhe, you were too impulsive."
Sun Zhe shrugged, "Anyone who tries to mess with my woman is already lucky I didn’t cripple him just now."
Lin Shuqing sighed, "But by humiliating him like that, he definitely won’t let it rest."
She continued, "But what’s done is done; talking about it won’t help. No matter what, I’ll face it with you together."
"Actually, I also felt a bit relieved just now. Ever since Jiewu Palace began its decline, we have been humble for so many years, it’s time to toughen up."
"Otherwise, they really might think anyone can step on us and bully us!"
Hearing this, Sun Zhe held her jade-like hand, smiling, "You’re right, that’s the kind of presence a Palace Master should have."
At that moment, Mrs. Liu lightly coughed twice and spoke, "Seeing the Palace Master and the Witch Master united, willing to face storms together, brings me great comfort."
She then spoke with a heavy tone, "But the other party is, after all, the Young Master of Qingyao Sect, and the most beloved son of the ’Qingyao Fairy’!"
"Master Witch, you’re taking the future of the entire Jiewu Palace, the disciples within it, just to vent this anger!"
"Previously, when you fell into the hands of the Dragon Capturing Priest, the Palace Master nearly sacrificed the entire Jiewu Palace to save you. Wasn’t that lesson enough?"
Lin Shuqing’s eyes were full of guilt, "Sorry, Mrs. Liu, for making you worry. I’ll shoulder the responsibility for what happened with Fang Xing!"
"You will shoulder it?"
Mrs. Liu suddenly laughed, saying, "You, as the Palace Master, if you shoulder it, what’s the difference from taking the entire Jiewu Palace with you?"
At that moment, Sun Zhe appraised Mrs. Liu, feeling quite displeased as he saw her scolding Lin Shuqing, and said, "It seems Mrs. Liu’s status in Jiewu Palace is not ordinary, daring to speak to the Palace Master like this."
He continued, "If you’re afraid of death, or trouble, then why do you mix in the Martial Artist Realm? Why not find a place to retreat, indifferent to worldly affairs?"
At these words, Mrs. Liu’s chest tightened with anger.
She had given her all for Jiewu Palace, risking her life, swearing to protect the Palace Master, practically dedicating her entire life to Jiewu Palace.
Being spoken to like this by the Witch Master now, how could she tolerate it?
Lin Shuqing suddenly grabbed Sun Zhe’s hand, looking at him with a reproachful gaze.
"Ah Zhe, don’t talk about Mrs. Liu like that, she’s also thinking for Jiewu Palace."
Sun Zhe said, "She’s thinking about the survival of Jiewu Palace, and there’s nothing wrong with that, but as the Witch Master, I’m thinking about the future of Jiewu Palace."
"If Jiewu Palace with a Witch Master remains the same as before, willing to abandon dignity for survival, even using the Palace Master’s marriage as a bargaining chip, seeking favor from stronger forces... Then there’s no need for me to stay in such a Jiewu Palace."
"This isn’t the Jiewu Palace I want. You should find a Witch Master who might pander to those stronger with you."
Upon hearing this, Lin Shuqing’s eyes reddened, staring blankly at Sun Zhe, "You... what do you mean?"
At this moment, Mrs. Liu was also anxious, because Sun Zhe’s words carried a tone of abdication, she hurriedly knelt on one knee in salute, "Please calm your anger, Master Witch, it was my ignorance and overstepping, I am willing to accept punishment!"
Lin Shuqing quickly went to support her, "Mrs. Liu, get up quickly, no one blames you."
Yet Mrs. Liu resolutely pushed Lin Shuqing away, staring directly at Sun Zhe, "Before the old Palace Master passed, I was entrusted to protect the Palace Master. In my heart, the Palace Master is paramount."
"Jiewu Palace currently has two Elders, and I am one of them."
Sun Zhe nodded, "I see. Sorry, I was too harsh... Mrs. Liu, please stand."
"Thank you, Master Witch!"
Mrs. Liu stood up, still gazing at Sun Zhe, asking, "But Master Witch, how should we face the wrath of Qingyao Sect next?"
Sun Zhe closed his eyes slightly, saying calmly, "It’s useless to argue with them; the only option is to fight until they submit."
Hearing Sun Zhe’s words, Mrs. Liu sighed internally, thinking how arrogant this boy was!
She acknowledged Sun Zhe’s talent and potential, evident in his quick grasp of the "True Qi Thunder Transformation."
But despite Sun Zhe’s amazing talent, he was still just one person.
To subdue a vast entity like the Qingyao Sect by force... was nothing short of a pipe dream.
She couldn’t fathom where Sun Zhe found such courage.
Or did he feel emboldened now that he had reached Nascent Soul Realm Great Perfection?
At this thought, Mrs. Liu reminded calmly and respectfully, "Master Witch, one must realize there are always mountains beyond mountains, and people beyond people."
Sun Zhe naturally understood her point, suddenly asking, "Do you know Qingcheng Palace?"
Mrs. Liu was taken aback, "Of course, standing at the pinnacle of the Martial Artist Realm in Hua Country, it is a pillar of the nation!"
Sun Zhe asked again, "And how does it compare to Qingyao Sect?"
Mrs. Liu replied without hesitation, "Qingyao Sect cannot compare to Qingcheng Palace!"
Sun Zhe smiled calmly, saying, "This Fang Xing is the most beloved son of the Sect Master of Qingyao Sect, and coincidentally, I am the most beloved son of the Palace Master of Qingcheng Palace."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Liu’s eyes widened in shock, as if struck by lightning!
Lin Shuqing also widened her beautiful eyes, looking at Sun Zhe in disbelief.
She suddenly recalled that a mysterious expert had previously fetched Sun Zhe from Liu Bingyue.
Could that mysterious expert have been the Palace Master of Qingcheng Palace, the legendary ’Qingcheng Immortal’?
Sun Zhe looked at Mrs. Liu, stating directly, "So, since I have the capital and confidence, why should I be humble before Qingyao Sect?"
"If they try to mess with my woman, I’ll beat them until they submit!"
Mrs. Liu shook her head with a smile, saying no more.
Having revealed such a terrifying identity, there was naturally little she could say.
As Sun Zhe mentioned, he indeed had the capital to be arrogant.
With the backing of Qingcheng Palace, whoever wouldn’t be arrogant would be impossible not to.
"Master Witch, would you like to stay for dinner tonight?" Mrs. Liu changed the topic.
Sun Zhe thought for a moment and said, "Braised pork."
Mrs. Liu considerately went shopping for groceries, leaving time and space for Sun Zhe and Lin Shuqing.
Momentarily.
After Mrs. Liu left with the shopping basket, Lin Shuqing looked at Sun Zhe with a face full of curiosity and asked, "Is Qingcheng Immortal really your mother?"
Sun Zhe nodded.
Lin Shuqing’s radiant eyes trembled slightly, smiling, "Then congratulations on finding your kin."
Sun Zhe suddenly lifted her horizontally, smiled mischievously, "As a gift, what color will you wear?"
"Naughty." Lin Shuqing playfully hit him on the shoulder.
Then she softly said, "Would you like grey?"
Sun Zhe said, "I’ve never seen you in a strap dress."
Lin Shuqing blushed, "What if we don’t have one at home?"
"..."
