As one of the few people who aided Qin Hao, Su Lingfeng possessed highly noble character.

At least, he genuinely felt regretful for Qin Hao.

...

Besides Su Lingfeng, there was another person with some regrets in their heart.

That was Ji Yue’Er.

Initially, upon discovering that the "Seventh Bell" was Qin Hao, she inexplicably felt a bit annoyed.

After all, losing this gamble, even without a wager, was very displeasing for someone who always loved to win.

But later, knowing about Qin Hao’s wasted body, Ji Yue’Er’s anger dissipated, and she couldn’t help but feel some sympathy for Qin Hao.

"What a pity, Grandpa holds you in such high regard! I also hoped you could truly rise and fight me!"

Ji Yue’Er looked at the sky and said somewhat wistfully.

...

Huashan Main Peak.

There were quite a few elders in the Inner Sect.

Not everyone had their own independent peak.

According to records, besides Sect Leader Lei, the other six big figures had their own peaks.

The other elders did not.

At this moment, within a certain residence on Huashan Main Peak.

Wang Yufei and Ye Ruxue sat facing each other.

Spiritual Qi flowed from them, a sign of reaching the Late Innate Stage.

Having entered only days ago, they had already reached the late Innate Stage, a progress that could only be described as rapid.

Creak.

The door opened, and Master Chu entered with hands clasped behind his back, wearing a joyful expression, "Indeed, that kid was scorned by outsiders."

Ye Ruxue and Wang Yufei opened their eyes, both displaying a sense of loneliness.

"Are you not happy?"

Master Chu questioned with a puzzled look.

Wang Yufei and Ye Ruxue remained silent.

Master Chu awkwardly chuckled, but soon regained composure: "The day I kicked that kid out, I clearly saw the hatred in his eyes, and I knew then, this kid was no good."

"You two, in the future, are not to associate closely with this bad character, understand?"

Master Chu stated coldly.

"Never." Wang Yufei was the first to respond.

Qin Hao had once taken advantage of her.

Wang Yufei had already decided that next time they met, it would be a fight to the death.

Yet she hoped all the more never to meet.

Deep down, she did not wish to kill Qin Hao.

"If he poses a threat to the master, I will kill him."

This was Ye Ruxue’s promise.

Upon hearing this, Master Chu smiled contentedly, thinking that these two young girls might be cold, but deep down they weren’t bad, at least they still knew to appreciate their master.

Unlike Qin Hao, that ungrateful wolf, who even dared to hate him.

"Hmph! Little brat, do you think entering the Inner Sect means you can get back at me? Even if you reach the Innate stage, as long as you don’t surpass Qi Condensation, you’re still an ant in my eyes!"

Thinking of this, Master Chu’s expression gradually turned cold.

...

Wu Huafeng.

In contrast to the outside turmoil, life within the courtyard was very peaceful.

Generally, the disciples’ activities were confined to within the courtyard, with few leaving the peak.

Therefore, the brothers within the courtyard were unaware of the rumors about Qin Hao outside.

Of course, even if they knew, they wouldn’t care.

That day, several disciples were seated inside the Pentagonal Pavilion.

"Ha."

Ma Jiajia yawned, her gaze landing on a door. "What’s going on with Little Junior Brother? He’s been in seclusion for three days without coming out."

"What do you know? He’s diligently cultivating, such willpower that we lazy ones can’t compare to."

Wu Xiang had a profound understanding of himself.

"Haha! You’re right for yourself being lazy, but I’m not!" Feng Ziyun laughed, holding an iron hammer in his hand.

He grasped the handle and said, "If it weren’t for maintaining brotherhood affection, I wouldn’t bother with morning tea! For me, forging is the priority!"

"Always finding excuses for being lazy, aren’t you?" said the rather attractive Wang Lianhua with a mock spit.

"Hehe, actually, the real motive for being lazy is for you, Little Sister Lianhua!"

Feng Ziyun flashed a mischievous smile, to which Wang Lianhua rolled her eyes.

"Alright, stop spreading dog food so early in the morning, let’s focus on our little junior brother first, okay!"

Ma Jiajia worriedly looked at Qin Hao’s room and said, "If it’s just for cultivation, it would be fine, but he hasn’t even come out for food in three days! Is he starving?"

"Maybe he has Grain Avoidance Pills." Chu Mo piped in dismissively: "Jiajia, don’t meddle in others’ affairs."

"How is this meddling? I’m just worried about our junior brother!"

Ma Jiajia felt a bit uncomfortable, and Chu Mo frowned and said, "There’s a saying that concern leads to chaos; that kind of person is too proud, just let him be."

"Senior Brother, why do you speak so harshly? How is Junior Brother Qin proud?"

Ma Jiajia was displeased.

"Hmph! Junior Sister, are you going to blame me for this Qin fellow?"

Chu Mo was also disgruntled, thinking that after living with Ma Jiajia for so long, he would still be outmatched by a newcomer?

"Alright, you two, calm down."

Wu Xiang immediately came out to mediate, pointing at Qin Hao’s room, "Why don’t we send someone in to take a look?"

"I will go!"

Ma Jiajia found Chu Mo tedious and already wanted to leave, so she stood up and headed for Qin Hao’s room.

"Let me go!"

Chu Mo hesitated to concede and stood up to follow.

"I’ll go too! I don’t want to get caught in your dog food drama!"

Wu Xiang also smiled mischievously, and before getting up, Wang Lianhua stuck out her tongue, "Don’t leave me behind, let’s go together!"

"You guys!" Feng Ziyun, holding his big iron hammer, had no choice but to follow along.

Suddenly, all five of them reached the door of Qin Hao’s room.

Just as they were about to enter, a cold wind suddenly blew over them.

"Why is there a cold wind on such a bright day?"

"No, the cold wind is coming from inside the room!"

Ma Jiajia’s words caused the others’ expressions to subtly change.

"Why is there a cold wind? What’s Junior Brother Qin doing?"

Feng Ziyun’s face showed some confusion.

"I get it, the cold wind is Junior Brother’s killing intent!"

Wu Xiang was the first to realize, "Before I joined the Immortal Sect, I was a well-known swordsman in Jianghu, and naturally, I know killing intent can form a domain, and we’re within the scope of Junior Brother’s killing intent domain!"

"Is that true?"

Ma Jiajia couldn’t believe it, "You mean Junior Brother has killed many people? I don’t believe it!"

"Believe it or not, you must accept it." Chu Mo coldly chuckled, "This guy’s sharp-nosed and monkey-cheeked appearance screams cluelessness, likely a hangman in the mundane world!"

"Senior Brother! Why do you always speak ill of others!"

Initially, Ma Jiajia only thought Chu Mo was a bit arrogant.

But now, she felt this senior brother was a bit petty and off-putting.

"I’m saying it for your own good, getting close to such people, you’ll only hurt yourself!"

Chu Mo showed an earnest and concerned demeanor.

"What nonsense are you saying! I’m just concerned about our junior brother, how does that hurt me?"

Ma Jiajia spoke with a hint of anger and was about to get upset when they heard a "whoosh" sound.

Everyone felt a chill in their hearts, only to see the door in front had been blown open!
