With a wave of his hand, he forced Jiang Su to his feet. "I can offer you a few pointers, but forget about taking me as your master."
"Besides, I have important matters to attend to. I have no mind to teach anyone right now."
Having sensed Qin Shaofeng's strength, Jiang Su looked even more astonished, though also somewhat disappointed.
"But, Senior..."

Jiang Su's expression turned somewhat unsightly. Yet Qin Shaofeng's attention was drawn to the black glow rising from the pit.
