Invincible Starting From the Nine Dragons Technique

The Celestial Tiger Sect disciples were all filled with rage, glaring viciously at Xiao Wan.

They looked like they wanted to eat her alive.

However, Qiu Ze’s expression was as black as thunder.

He wanted to teach her a lesson, alright.

But his all-out sword strike hadn’t even scratched the skin on Xiao Dong’s forehead. How was he supposed to teach anyone a lesson now?

’Who knows if this little girl is another monster just like Xiao Dong.’

’If so, wouldn’t I just be asking for humiliation?’

’Do these idiots around me have no eyes? Can’t they see what’s going on?’

"Idiots! All of you, shut the hell up!"

Qiu Ze roared at the Celestial Tiger Sect disciples.

The Celestial Tiger Sect disciples were stunned.

Why was Senior Brother Qiu scolding them instead of teaching Xiao Wan a lesson and restoring the Celestial Tiger Sect’s honor?

What was going on?

Eyes blazing with fury, Qiu Ze glared at the Celestial Tiger Sect disciples.

’Are you sons of bitches trying to get me killed?’

But saying so would expose his own weakness. He forced himself to swallow the words on the tip of his tongue.

Qiu Ze declared with an air of great righteousness, "You... all of you! Have you no humanity? Forcing me to attack an eight-year-old girl? Do you want me to be a bully who preys on the weak?"

"We Martial Artists must be noble and upright! We should be heroes in life and valiant spirits in death, not bullies who prey on the weak! With such malicious hearts, you will all sooner or later suffer cultivation deviation, stray from the proper path, and become a disgrace to the world!"

"This..."

The disciples of the Celestial Tiger Sect fell silent, looking at one another in bewilderment.

’On second thought, he does have a point.’

Seeing this, Qiu Ze let out a heavy sigh of relief.

He had spouted every grand principle he knew in one breath and had finally managed to fool them. Otherwise, there would have been no way for him to save face.

’Good, they didn’t see through my act.’

Wiping the cold sweat from his brow, Qiu Ze said, "When we get back, you’ll all be put in solitary confinement for three days—no, three months! You need to temper these aggressive personalities of yours."

"But..."

The weasel-faced youth hesitated.

Qiu Ze asked, "But what?"

The weasel-faced youth pointed at Xiao Wan. "But she’s so arrogant! Insulting you, Senior Brother Qiu, is the same as insulting our Celestial Tiger Sect, and insulting..."

"Is she insulting your father and mother too? Your brother and sister?"

Qiu Ze cut him off.

The weasel-faced youth paused, stunned for a moment, before replying, "Well, no."

"Then shut your mouth!"

Qiu Ze shot the weasel-faced youth a harsh glare. ’This idiot just doesn’t get the hint, does he?’

The weasel-faced youth stood his ground.

He was clearly unconvinced.

Qiu Ze said coldly, "I just lectured you all at length, and you didn’t hear a single word? Or are you saying I’m too benevolent to discipline you?"

"I wouldn’t dare!"

The weasel-faced youth was finally scared.

Qiu Ze was Er Hu, one of the Celestial Gate Five Tigers, the second-ranked genius in the Celestial Tiger Sect, and the direct disciple of Elder Yin.

If Qiu Ze decided to make things difficult for him, the rest of his life would be miserable.

"If you wouldn’t dare, then fall back!"

Qiu Ze said coldly, "She’s just a child. So what if she’s arrogant? Haven’t you heard that you shouldn’t take a child’s words to heart?"

"’Shouldn’t take a child’s words to heart?’"

The weasel-faced youth had a sudden realization. "Senior Brother, I was wrong. I’ll fall back right away."

’That’s right!’

’How could I get angry over something a child said?’

’That would be far too petty.’

Qiu Ze warned, "I’ll let it slide this time. But after we return to the Sect, you will clean the latrines for three days as punishment."

"Clean the latrines for three days?"

The weasel-faced youth fell into deep thought.

The punishment wasn’t severe.

In fact, it was practically nothing.

Suddenly, the weasel-faced youth said excitedly, "I get it! Senior Brother Qiu wants me to temper my character, that’s why he’s making me clean the latrines! He’s doing this for my own good! Thank you, Senior Brother Qiu!"

The weasel-faced youth retreated back into the crowd.

"Senior Brother Qiu is not only benevolent but also righteous and wise! I admire him more and more."

"Admire him? I feel like kneeling before him!"

"Senior Brother Qiu, you’re my role model!"

"Everyone, we must learn from Senior Brother Qiu’s example and strive to improve every day!"

The members of the Celestial Tiger Sect now admired Qiu Ze even more.

Even the people from the Northern Profound Domain were now looking at Qiu Ze with a favorable impression.

"This Qiu Ze is truly broad-minded."

"Forget a child, most people would get angry if a dog blocked their path."

"But this guy isn’t angry at all?"

The hostility from the people of the Northern Profound Domain lessened considerably.

Seeing this, Qiu Ze was inwardly ecstatic.

He never expected that his little trick of feigning retreat would win everyone over and make him an object of admiration.

’So this is the benefit of prioritizing harmony?’

’From now on, I must be tolerant in all things. Even if the other party attacks first, I must remain polite and courteous. I’ll be falsely benevolent—no, sincerely benevolent and friendly.’

"Little girl, you should go back now. Don’t try to be a hero in the future."

Qiu Ze said to Xiao Wan.

Xiao Wan seemed to be won over by Qiu Ze’s grand speech. "Big guy, you make a lot of sense! I’m starting to admire you."

"I was merely doing my duty. There’s no need for admiration."

Qiu Ze said proudly.

’Even Xiao Wan has been won over. It seems this crisis is completely resolved.’

However...

But then Xiao Wan said, "I may admire you, but you still have to kneel and apologize to our Young Master. That’s non-negotiable."

"What?"

Qiu Ze stared at Xiao Wan in disbelief.

’How can this girl be so single-minded?’

Xiao Wan said, "I can tolerate you hitting me, and I can tolerate you cursing me, but I cannot tolerate you badmouthing our Young Master. He’s the person I admire most in the world—probably ten thousand times more than I admire you."

"Ten thousand times..."

Qiu Ze was dumbfounded.

He was very curious what charm their Young Master possessed to make the Xiao Family disciples admire him to this extent.

’She admires us both, so why is there such a huge difference?’

"If you don’t apologize, I’m gonna have to hit you!"

Xiao Wan said, raising her little fist.

"You..."

Qiu Ze looked utterly exasperated.

"Senior Brother Qiu, if you don’t teach her a lesson, you’ll be in a really tight spot."

"How about you just give her a spanking?"

"Senior Brother Qiu, if you won’t do it, let me do it for you. Don’t worry, I definitely won’t kill her."

The Celestial Tiger Sect disciples egged him on.

While most of them admired Qiu Ze and had been fooled by his grandstanding, a small portion of them were still not convinced.

’Why should we let the people from the Northern Profound Domain off the hook?’

’Even if she was just a little girl, they should still be wiped out.’

’As they say, a man who is not ruthless will never be great.’

"Senior Brother Qiu, with so many people urging you to act, are you still going to be so merciful?"

"Mercy should depend on the person."

"A kind heart can’t lead an army, and a righteous hand can’t gather wealth. If Senior Brother Qiu doesn’t teach this brat a lesson, how will he be able to lead our Celestial Tiger Sect in the future?"

Hearing the instigation from behind him, Qiu Ze felt like his head was about to explode.

’How am I supposed to fight her?’

’But if I don’t do something, I won’t be able to quell the anger of my fellow disciples.’

Xiao Wan urged him, "Haven’t you made up your mind yet? Nope, I can’t wait any longer. I’m fighting you right now, so get ready!"
