Chapter 21: I Don't Want to Be a Single Dog, I Want to Show Off My Affection!
"Ding!"
"Side Quest completed. Host has received 20 Sect Contribution Points."
"Ding!"
"Sect Contribution Points: 117/100."
"Sect Contribution Points have exceeded the limit. The host must spend them within 24 hours, or the excess points will be automatically deducted."
While Wei Yinu was screaming in agony, the dinging sound of the completed mission echoed in Jun Changxiao's ears.
As expected of an Elite Mission!
After completing it, it actually gave 20 Sect Contribution Points!
Jun Changxiao was overjoyed, but upon seeing the bloody arm on the stage, he almost couldn't help but retch.
Having transmigrated here, he had never even slaughtered a chicken since he was young. It was only natural that he found it difficult to adapt to suddenly severing someone's arm.
"He wanted to kill me, so I crippled him. There is nothing wrong with that."
Jun Changxiao gave himself a comforting reason, and his state of mind gradually relaxed.
In this cruel world, one must retaliate with cold and ruthless methods against those who want to kill them, otherwise, they would kick the bucket sooner or later!
A person must have principles, and my principle is—
If others do not offend me, I will not offend them.
If others offend me, I will definitely offend them back!
"Clang!"
Jun Changxiao sheathed his sword and cupped his hands, saying, "Elder Wei, I accept your concession."
"Swish!"
He jumped off the Grudge Stage with a flourish.
"Let's go."
"Yes!"
Li Qingyang, Lu Qianqian, and the others followed Jun Changxiao, gradually disappearing from the Training Ground.
"How is this possible..."
"Sect Leader Jun actually defeated Elder Wei, who is at the Meridian Opening Twelve Stages?"
The martial artists from various sects finally recovered from their shock.
Shattering Master Fan's Mortal Grade weapon and severing one of Elder Wei's arms—this was simply unimaginable to them!
The deacons of the Long Saber Sect and the disciples of the Tiger Roar Sect felt a chill down their backs, secretly feeling fortunate that they hadn't lost their heads and challenged him earlier; otherwise, it would have been a tragedy!
A martial artist said solemnly, "That sword of Sect Leader Jun's must have reached the Mortal Grade High Stage!"
This statement was agreed upon by everyone.
They found it hard to believe that Jun Changxiao could severely injure Wei Yixiao; the only explanation was that the sword was of extremely high quality!
Indeed.
The severe injury to Wei Yinu was due to the Low-grade Cold Edge Sword.
Walking on the street, Jun Changxiao was also secretly marveling, "I didn't expect the low-grade sword from the Initial Stage Mall to be so fierce."
At first, he thought it would be slightly better than the Golden Dragon Broadsword, but after using it, he realized he had underestimated it.
"Qianqian."
Jun Changxiao smiled and said, "This Seat's sword is not bad, right?"
"It's alright."
It was so fierce, yet she only called it "alright." What kind of sword could even catch her eye?
Jun Changxiao shook his head and said, "This Seat has extras in my ring. How about I give you one?"
Having completed the Elite Mission and exceeded the contribution point limit, he had exchanged for two more Low-grade Cold Edge Swords while leaving the Training Ground.
With such powerful weapons, he could only use one, so he could give the others to his disciples.
The reason he wanted to give one to Lu Qianqian first was that she was his head disciple, and secondly, he hoped to gain her favor so she would stop mocking him as the Sect Leader so often.
"No."
Lu Qianqian said indifferently.
She didn't even want a sword of such high quality; there must be something wrong with her brain!
"Alright then."
Jun Changxiao did not force her.
"Sect Leader."
Li Qingyang said, "If Senior Sister doesn't want it, I do."
Although he already possessed a Mortal-grade low-tier weapon, there was still a significant gap compared to the Sect Leader's sword.
Jun Changxiao smiled and said, "Perform well once we return to the sect, and you shall have everything."
The implication was that he had no intention of giving it to Li Qingyang.
This was by no means discriminatory; it was mainly because his second disciple had just joined the sect and had yet to show any performance or contribution, so giving him a sword directly would be inappropriate.
Jun Changxiao did not want his sect to become a charity organization.
"Understood."
Li Qingyang said, "This disciple will perform well and earn the Sect Leader's recognition."
"Mm."
Jun Changxiao nodded and looked at the disciples behind him, saying, "Once you go to the sect, it will be difficult to see your parents again. Go home and spend more time with them; report to the sect on your own in ten days."
This Sect Leader was actually quite humane.
"Thank you, Sect Leader!"
The disciples left one after another, but Li Qingyang remained standing where he was.
Jun Changxiao asked, "Why aren't you going back?"
Li Qingyang shook his head and said, "After the Sect Leader's guidance, my father should be in seclusion right now, so there is no point in going back."
Jun Changxiao said, "Then follow me and return to the sect one step ahead."
"Sect Leader."
Li Qingyang cupped his hands and said, "This disciple has a presumptuous request."
"Speak."
Jun Changxiao said.
Li Qingyang paused for a moment and said, "This disciple wishes to bring someone to the sect."
"Who?"
"The person I love deeply."
"A woman?"
Wasn't that obvious? If he didn't love a woman deeply, would he love a man?
Although Li Qingyang was speechless, he still nodded and said, "That's right, a woman of humble background and mediocre talent."
Humble background? Mediocre talent?
Was such a woman worthy of the number one genius of Qingyang City?
Jun Changxiao seemed to understand something and said, "So, this is another reason why you joined my Iron Bone Unyielding Sect?"
"Yes."
Li Qingyang did not deny it.
After some deep thought while stroking his chin, Jun Changxiao said, "The sect is just getting started and lacks hands to handle chores, so let her come along."
"Thank you, Sect Leader!"
Li Qingyang said gratefully.
He could have joined the Cangshan Sect, but he refused because he knew that such a large sect would not tolerate him bringing his woman along.
He joined the Iron Bone Sect firstly because their medicinal pills were excellent, making him believe they had potential, and secondly, because a low-tier Ninth-rate Sect likely wouldn't care about him bringing an outsider up the mountain.
"However..."
Jun Changxiao leaned in and whispered, "Isn't it a bit early for you to be dating at sixteen?"
Li Qingyang replied, "Sect Leader, my cousins who are half a year younger than me are already married with children."
Jun Changxiao's eyes widened.
Getting married was understandable, but having children was a bit ridiculous, right?
Li Qingyang asked in surprise, "Sect Leader, don't you know that on the Starfall Continent, one can marry and have children after passing the Coming of Age Ceremony at fourteen?"
"Ahem."
Jun Changxiao put his hands behind his back and said, "Of course this Seat knows!"
Internally, however, he thought bitterly: "Getting married and starting a family at fourteen? My current body will be eighteen in two months; does that make me a veteran, over-the-hill bachelor?"
I don't want to be a bachelor; I want to show off my romance!
"Sect Leader, I'll go bring her over."
"Mm, go ahead."
Li Qingyang left, but returned alone not long after, clutching a letter in his hand.
"Where is she?" Jun Changxiao asked.
Li Qingyang lowered his head, saying painfully, "She didn't want to hinder my future, so she left a letter and went away."
Jun Changxiao said, "If that girl is truly as you described—of humble origins and mediocre talent—then leaving quietly is the best outcome for both you and her."
"Sect Leader."
Li Qingyang looked up and asked, "Do you also think she isn't good enough for me?"
Jun Changxiao replied, "It's not what I think, it's what others think."
Li Qingyang gripped the letter tightly and said, "Once I become a powerhouse, no matter the ends of the earth, I will find her. Then, in front of the whole world, I will tell her loudly: it is only a matter of whether I, Li Qingyang, am good enough for you, not whether you are good enough for me!"
"Good!"
Jun Changxiao applauded.
In the world he once came from, social status was everything, and the martial arts-centric Starfall Continent was surely even worse in that regard.
Li Qingyang possessed exceptional talent, yet he didn't care about the girl's humble status or the judgmental eyes of the world; that alone was incredibly precious.
Lu Qianqian chimed in at an inappropriate moment, "Another idiot."
Jun Changxiao was speechless.
So this woman didn't just attack him; she attacked her own junior brother as well...
