Chapter 1094

At this moment, Qin Qi had already stood up, and spoke slowly, “Many thanks to all the seniors for saving me. This junior will remember your kindness!”

Master Ao Hu laughed loudly, “No need, no need, it was but a small effort. But Qin Qi, with your cleverness, I suppose you can already guess the reason we came here today!”

“To be frank, I think highly of you. And since you’ve offended Xuan Yi Sect, you’re bound to face their targeting in the Grand Battlefield.”

“It’s not a problem. Follow me. I can guarantee your safety on the battlefield; Xuan Yi Sect wouldn’t dare lay a finger on you!”

Monk Wu Xiu grew anxious at Master Ao Hu’s words. “Guo Ao Hu, what, you think you’re the only one capable of keeping Qin Qi safe on the battlefield?”

“Qin Qi, back when you were advancing to the Core Formation Stage, this old monk tried to win you over, but then you insisted on staying here!”

“Now, you’ve broken through to Core Formation. Your temperament must have changed. You should know, staying in Yellow Heaven City won’t offer much further prospects!”

“If you’re willing to follow this old monk, I’ll not only pass down my mantle to you, but, in time when I leave the Grand Battlefield, I could push you into our ‘Yuan Shou Temple’, granting you a seat within the temple!”

The intentions of several Nascent Soul Stage cultivators were now as plain as day.

Ji Qingzhu and Ji Hongzhuang’s faces couldn’t help but change at the same moment.

After all, as Monk Wu Xiu said.

Qin Qi’s cultivation had already reached Core Formation Stage; his temperament and perspective were vastly different now.

Would he still think of staying here?

But before Qin Qi could speak, Yan Shuiming sneered, “Monk Wu Xiu, you want Qin Qi to become a monk with you? Heh, Qin Qi is at the age when his blood runs hot, he hasn’t tasted the bittersweet flavors of life yet. Who’d want to become a monk with you?”

“Qin Qi, I’m quite interested in you as well. Come to my side, I’ll back you up.”

For a time, the Nascent Soul Stage powerhouses argued back and forth, unwilling to give ground.

This left many team leaders in Yellow Heaven City sighing and marveling.

Goodness.

These high and mighty Nascent Soul Stage seniors, rarely seen even once, were now quarreling openly over Qin Qi.

No one would believe it if this got out!

Qin Qi could only laugh and cry on the sidelines.

Yet, he couldn’t interject. He helplessly stood aside, waiting for the Nascent Souls to decide.

About the time it takes to drink a cup of tea later.

Yan Shuiming waved her hand. “Enough, we can argue here endlessly, but in the end, it still depends on what Qin Qi himself chooses!”

The Nascent Soul Stage experts fell silent, gazes landing on Qin Qi.

“Qin Qi, what do you think?”

The atmosphere grew quiet.

Ji Qingzhu and Ji Hongzhuang, both biting their lips lightly.

Especially Ji Hongzhuang.

She had already given herself to Qin Qi. If he left…

Looking at the Nascent Souls’ debate, Qin Qi took a deep breath and replied, “I appreciate all the seniors’ kindness!”

“Previously, Senior Wu Xiu visited me, and I made it clear then. I absolutely have no intention of joining any other senior’s sect. I wish only to achieve my own merits here!”

“Moreover, I have deep ties with Ji Qingzhu and Ji Hongzhuang here. I’m quite comfortable, so I don’t plan to leave for now!”

“But rest assured, if someday I wish to advance further, I’ll definitely seek out the seniors!”

With these words said,

Ji Qingzhu and Ji Hongzhuang’s bodies both shivered gently.

Qin Qi actually mentioned them both.

At this moment, Monk Wu Xiu and the others’ expressions became a bit ambiguous.

‘Deep ties’, huh? Seems Qin Qi’s relationship with Ji Qingzhu and Ji Hongzhuang is anything but ordinary!

Both ladies inwardly marveled; it’s true, the Ji sisters were the earliest to discover Qin Qi’s talent.

With things said like this,

The Nascent Soul Stage seniors naturally couldn’t say much more.

“Alright, since Qin Qi’s decided, I’ll not press further. If you change your mind in the future, you can find me anytime!”

Master Ao Hu waved grandly, “Also, should Xuan Yi Sect trouble you, just come find me. I’ve long disliked those people!”

“Thank you for your kindness, Senior,” Qin Qi replied gratefully.

The Nascent Souls prepared to leave one after another.

Only Yan Shuiming’s beautiful eyes flickered, as if she saw through something.

“This Qin Qi says he doesn’t want to leave, but his words reveal he’s unwilling to depend on others!”

She smiled faintly, “Quite right, if it were me at the Core Formation Stage, facing a Nascent Soul who could take my life at any time, I wouldn’t dare get too close either!”

Thinking this,

She didn’t rush to leave but kept her gaze fixed on Qin Qi.

The other old monsters were surprised by her actions.

Though they’d given up recruiting Qin Qi, everyone’s inner thoughts were, ‘If I can’t have him, no one else should either.’

Seeing Yan Shuiming lingering, the Nascent Souls stood still, wanting to see what tricks she would play.

Yan Shuiming spoke openly, grinning, “Qin Qi, that female cultivator who blocked Wang Baihe’s fatal strike for you was actually a Ghost Cultivator, wasn’t she?”

“A half-human, half-ghost body—I saw it myself! After she was wounded, you must’ve put her in the Spirit Pet Bag!”

Hearing this, Qin Qi knew he couldn’t hide it, so he didn’t try, “Senior, you’re quite right…”

Yan Shuiming replied calmly, “If she were a normal cultivator, taking Wang Baihe’s attack head-on would leave her seriously injured and depleted of Primordial Energy, but likely not fatal.”

“But as a Ghost Cultivator, it’s different. Their healing requirements are harsh. If you lack proper healing conditions and merely stash her in the Spirit Pet Bag, she won’t survive much longer!”

Qin Qi instantly grew tense, “Is that true, Senior? Wait, does that mean you have a way to save her?”

After all, the Nascent Soul Stage experts know a thing or two about Ghost Cultivator matters, but only Yan Shuiming brought it up.

Yan Shuiming smiled sweetly, “Of course, if I weren’t confident, I wouldn’t mention it to you!”

“Frankly, in the whole Grand Battlefield, besides myself, you’d be hard pressed to find another who can heal your female Ghost Cultivator!”
