Chapter 378: This drama has been overdone!
No matter how many holes there are, flattery will never wear out.
Lai Yi Nuan was quite pleased with Qin Ziling's words and facial expressions.
However, Lai Yi Nuan pretended to be a master who saw through everything, stroking his white beard and saying, "I know you are a cunning kid. Last time, you played around with those people from the Xie family at sea. So don't think that you can get away with the Tian Yan Order by flattering me a few times."
"In the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies, tricks, and cunning are in vain. Senior, you have such great magical powers, and if I try to play tricks in front of you, wouldn't that be asking for a beating?" Qin Ziling said hurriedly, "with great fear and trepidation."
"That's quite interesting!" Lai Yi Nuan nodded, and a look of satisfaction and enjoyment finally appeared on his face.
Seeing that Lai Yi Nuan was finally photographed to her heart's content, Qin Ziling continued, "As for the Tian Yan Order, that was an order issued by the Tian Yan Sect. How dare I, a junior, wave that flag!"
Lai Yi Nuan nodded again, and the expression on his face became softer.
"Isn't the small wind and thunder barrier in the Tianling Mountains going to be opened in two months? This is the Tianyan Order that I received." Qin Ziling continued.
"Hmph, do you think I, an old Taoist priest, am someone who can be easily fooled?" Upon hearing this, the expression on Lai Yinuan's face gradually darkened. An aura emanated from him, forming a terrifying pressure that seemed to be tangible and fell towards Qin Ziling.
As the terrifying pressure came, the blood, energy and other true forces in Qin Ziling's body and dantian were ready to move, and they were about to rush out to fight against it. Fortunately, the five elements were mutually generated and restrained, and there was a powerful soul to calm them down, which suppressed their readiness.
As a result, Qin Ziling's forehead naturally broke out in sweat, which matched his terrified expression very appropriately.
"Juniors would never dare to fool seniors." Qin Ziling replied, with cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.
"I am responsible for issuing the Tianyan Order for the Wind and Thunder Small Barrier. How could I not know whether there is someone like you?" Lai Yi Nuan said, his eyes piercing Qin Ziling like lightning.
"Master Xuan is Master Xuan, his eyes are like knives. If I didn't have the Five Elements and the Way of Heaven and Man, my soul could use the Way of Heaven and Man to suppress the situation. This time I would definitely be exposed!" Qin Ziling's forehead was covered with "cold sweat" more and more happily, but he said quickly: "It turns out that the senior is the elder of Tianyan Sect who issued the Tianyan Order of the Wind and Thunder Small Barrier. No wonder the magic power is so powerful.
But I definitely didn't dare to deceive you. Although the Tianyan Order was not issued directly to me, I have decided to enter the Wind and Thunder Small Barrier with my teacher Jian Bailou, and my teacher has also reported this to the judge of Xiyunzhou, Zhuge Yunjin. "
"Xi Yunzhou, you just used the power of Gengjin to condense the palm!" Lai Yinuan showed a thoughtful look on his face, and then said with relief: "So your teacher is Jian Bailou from the Golden Sword Sect!"
"That's right." Qin Ziling said, feeling relieved.
"Since you call Jian Bailou teacher, it seems that you are his registered disciple." Lai Yinuan saw Qin Ziling nod, seemed to remember something, and looked at Qin Ziling with some surprise.
"Yes." Qin Ziling nodded.
"Didn't he tell you about the situation of the wind and thunder barrier?" Lai Yi Nuan asked.
"My master is a man of integrity and cares for his disciples. How could he not tell me about the situation of the wind and thunder barrier? But precisely because of this, I must go with him. At least one more person means more strength." Qin Ziling said with a righteous look on his face.
Upon hearing this, Lai Yinuan looked at Qin Ziling and fell silent.
He was naturally aware that entering the wind and thunder barrier was a life-threatening situation, so the Tianyan Sect issued the Tianyan Order to the outside world instead of forcing the disciples within the sect to carry it out.
It is so dangerous that even though the disciples of Tianyan Sect can keep one third of the Leixun Stone once they enter the Wind and Thunder Small Barrier and obtain it for use when they become grand masters in the future, no disciple of Tianyan Sect has signed up for the Wind and Thunder Small Barrier mission so far.
Even though the Tianyan Sect's disciples have such favorable conditions, no one is willing to join, let alone other sects and family forces.
Those who have connections have basically found ways to do so, asking others to plead for mercy or making excuses to shirk their responsibilities.
The Tianyan Sect is the supreme sect that is above the imperial court of the Great Qi State. It has a long tradition. Over the years, some major forces in the Great Qi State have more or less some connection with the Tianyan Sect.
For example, Qin Jianmei of the Qin family is a true disciple of the Tianyan Sect, so the Qin family can ask Qin Jianmei to intercede for them.
So in the end, after all the trouble, basically those who received the orders were Qi Refining Masters from some medium and lower-level states, sects and families with no background or support.
In this situation, Qin Ziling chose to accompany his teacher into the wind and thunder barrier. Thinking back to how Qin Ziling had just stood up for Qin Xingbao, and his loyalty and loyalty, even though Lai Yinuan had seen through the fickleness of human nature, at this moment he couldn't help but feel .
In fact, a big part of the reason why Lai Yinuan was willing to help just now was because he saw Qin Ziling, a mere Qi Refining Master, was willing to stand up for Qin Xingbao.
"You are good. Are you willing to be my registered disciple?" Lai Yinuan was silent for a long time. Suddenly, a strange idea came to his mind, and he asked.
Qin Ziling saw Lai Yi Nuan staring at him for a long time without saying anything, and he felt a little uneasy, wondering if he had been noticed by Lai Yi Nuan. Suddenly, he heard Lai Yi Nuan asking him if he wanted to be his registered disciple, and he was stunned.
"Why don't you want to?" Lai Yinuan asked with a smile when she saw Qin Ziling stunned.
"Ahem, senior is a master of the Tianyan Sect, a god- like figure. How could I be unwilling? It's just that I find it very sudden." Qin Ziling replied quickly.
To be honest, Qin Ziling was not really willing to do so.
He is now a great man after all, the head of a sect. Even a grandmaster can kill him in the blink of an eye. Naturally, he is very picky about choosing an apprentice. How can he just accept him as a registered disciple if the other party wants to?
What's more, he knew nothing about the other party's more detailed identity, strength, and character. If he really wanted to worship him as his master, what if he turned out to be a person who specifically cheated his disciples? Wouldn't that be unfair to him?
"I see, that's how it is. I just saw that you have good character, so I wanted to leave you a way out. Although the hope is very small, it is still a little hope after all." Lai Yinuan said with relief after hearing this.
"What do you mean?" Qin Ziling asked.
"Even if you get the Thunder Stones after entering the Wind and Thunder Small Barrier, you must hand them all over. You can't keep any of them. And the disciples of Tianyan Sect can keep one third of the Thunder Stones if they enter the Wind and Thunder Small Barrier. I am an elder of Tianyan Sect after all, so I have to work hard to open the Wind and Thunder Small Barrier this time.
You are my registered disciple, even if you are not a real Tianyan Sect disciple, but if you can escape and get the Leixun Stone, it makes sense to leave you one third. If you really escape and get the Leixun Stone, it will be helpful for you to comprehend the thunder method or survive the thunder tribulation in the future." Lai Yi Nuan said.
"So that's it!" Qin Ziling looked relieved. In his heart, he didn't care about this little benefit at all. He had the ability to conceal the truth and could intercept as much as he wanted. Why would he need to go through so much trouble? And this was just such a little benefit.
However, Lai Yi Nuan's words made him quickly make up his mind. He stood up, knelt on one knee and said, "Thank you, teacher!"
He has good character and great strength, and he is also an elder of the Tianyan Sect. When would you choose not to worship such a cheap master?
As for whether he will cheat his disciples in the future, that will be discussed later.
"Get up, you are a registered disciple in the true sense of the word." Lai Yinuan said with some emotion.
"Teacher, this kind of practice is an act against the will of heaven. We seek for that glimmer of hope that God has missed. Although the small wind and thunder barrier is extremely dangerous, students may not be able to seek a chance of survival? Even if it fails in the end, I firmly believe that I can now! Otherwise, I might as well just slit my throat right now." Qin Ziling said.
Lai Yi Nuan's expression gradually became serious after hearing this. He looked at Qin Ziling and nodded solemnly, saying, "You are right. I am not as insightful as you are. No wonder you have such cultivation at such a young age."
"Teacher, you are too concerned and confused." Qin Ziling said.
Although Lai Yi Nuan suddenly thought of accepting Qin Ziling as his registered disciple, it was purely out of admiration for Qin Ziling's loyal character and there was not much emotion involved, but Qin Ziling's words still benefited him a lot, and he even felt that he was like that.
"Since we are master and disciple, it is my duty to care about you." Lai Yi Nuan nodded and said shamelessly, with a more kind look on his face.
"It is a blessing for a disciple to meet the teacher! I don't know if I will have the chance to come out and honor the teacher after entering the wind and thunder barrier in two months." Qin Ziling sighed, with a look of "reluctance".
"Forget it, how about I take back the Tianyan Order of Jianbai Tower!" Lai Yinuan saw Qin Ziling's face full of admiration and reluctance, and actually fell in love with this nominal disciple, so he thought for a while and said.
There was no way, Lai Yi Nuan was not sure whether the other disciples were sincere or not. But Qin Ziling was just a small Qi Refining Grandmaster, and just now he dared to stand up for Qin Xingbao in the face of such a big opponent. For his teacher, he was willing to accompany his teacher to the small wind and thunder barrier regardless of the danger of his life. How many people in this world can have such friendship?
Therefore, Lai Yiran believed absolutely in what Qin Ziling said and his "true feelings".
Qin Ziling was shocked when he heard that Lai Yinuan wanted to take back the Tianyan Order of Jianbai Tower.
It’s over, this drama has been overdone!
What should I do now? I really want to enter the Wind and Thunder Barrier and make a fortune!
"Absolutely not! If the teacher had not issued the Tianyan Order, the student would have to ask for personal favors. But since the Tianyan Order has been issued, how will others look at you if you take it back? Where will your reputation and dignity be?" Qin Ziling said quickly with a serious face.
