Once the thought took hold, the more Deng Qing considered it, the more plausible it seemed.
Li Dashan had come from the True Yang Martial Sect. His Pure Jade Method had most likely originated there too.
Since Jia Yu trained under Huang Changhe, an elder of Tongling Hall, it made sense that he knew the Pure Jade Method.
But if that reasoning held, why didn't Huang Yunfan know it?
While Deng Qing was still puzzling over this, Jia Yu walked toward Zhang Yan. "Senior Brother Zhang, how about we go down together?"
Zhang Yan cupped his hands. "My strength is lacking. I'd only get in the way down there."
Jia Yu smiled. "I recall the hall master's Pure Jade Method was well worth practicing. Surely there's someone to carry it on?"
With that, he shrugged and turned to leave.
Deng Qing stood up. "I'll go down with Senior Brother Jia."
Silence fell. Every eye turned to Deng Qing.
Huang Yunfan gave a soft snort.
Song Que hurriedly tugged Deng Qing's sleeve and whispered, "Senior Brother Deng, don't try to prove yourself. Down there is nothing like up here. If you can't hold out, even retreating won't be easy."
Zhang Yan glared at Deng Qing too. "Why are you getting mixed up in this?"
Deng Qing smiled, cupped his hands toward Huang Yunfan, and said clearly, "Young Master Yunfan said earlier that bringing out the wasteland beast's remains would be a great service. I'm willing to take that risk."
Then he looked at Jia Yu. "Besides, Senior Brother Jia will be with me, won't he? There's no need to worry, Senior Brother."
Zhang Yan understood Deng Qing at once.
His junior brother had always been cautious.
If he insisted on going down now, it was probably to earn more Martial Origin
