The Ancestor of our Sect Isn’t Acting like an Elder

Chapter 12



Chapter 12: 12

Chapter 12 – Who Cares?

After stepping out of the Sword-casting Chamber, Luo Qing suddenly said: “He is Qin Chen, the sixth Elder of the Merak Palace . ”

That disgusting fellow is the sixth Elder? Xue Qilin was a bit surprised . However, she recalled seeing this Qin Chen when she came out of the Sword Mound, and he seemed to have stood next to Luo Qing .

“He has an enmity with Little Ting?”

Luo Qing nodded: “Do you remember the disciple who stood next to Senior Disciple Sister Li?”

Xue Qilin nodded her head . How could I not remember . After all, I’ve seen him just a moment ago?

“That disciple’s name is Li Hong, his younger brother… Um… Let’s start with Qin Chen . He was an outstanding and talented genius of our generation, and was friendly to others . But ever since he lost his arm in the battle five years ago, he has changed . He became cynical and began to degenerate . He often took liberties with female disciples, and even mistreated his disciples . Reportedly, he even misappropriated the sect’s funds . This was eventually found out by Elder Liu, and he was suppressed into submission . But half a year ago, Qin Chen accidentally killed Li Hong’s younger brother, who was also Senior Disciple Sister’s disciple . “

“Oh, so something revolting like this took place?”

“Senior Disciple Sister learned of it after the fact . Li Hong took his brother’s body and went to complain tearfully to her . She was livid at once . She took Li Hong to find Qin Chen and denounce him for his crime, and even went to complain to Palace Master . ”

“What was the outcome?”

“Qin Chen was most likely the perpetrator . Qin Chen uses a flexible sword, and he’s the only one in the sect who uses a flexible sword . The wounds on Li Hong’s brother’s body match with Qin Chen’s sword . However, the matter wasn’t settled . ”

Xue Qilin was just bout to ask why, when Luo Qing beat her to the punch and provided an explanation: “The evidence wasn’t conclusive, and Qin Chen denied it . Although Qin Chen was a suspect, but he made great contributions in the incident five years ago, and his father even helped Elder Liu to block a sword strike and died . Elder Liu things Qin Chen’s father to be his benefactor . At the same time, he feels guilty towards Qin Chen . After all, Qin Chen’s father died to save him . As such, he shielded Qin Chen . ”

At this point, Luo Qing sighed: “With Li Hong’s one-sided statement, there was nothing Palace Master could do . More importantly, Elder Liu belongs to Vice-palace Master Ye’s faction . And as Vice-palace Master Ye didn’t speak up, Palace Master could do nothing . Moreover, Qin Chen isn’t the only person in the world using a flexible sword . It could not be ruled out that the perpetrator was an outsider who infiltrated the sect . Senior Disciple Sister Li knew that she would not be able to make any further progress . Besides, she didn’t want to make things difficult for Palace Master, who was like a sister to her . As such, she was forced to take this loss . This is why she hates Qin Chen . ”

Luo Qing’s tone was rather dull, as if this has nothing to do with her . But Xue Qilin inexplicably felt that there were some unclear, repressed emotions hidden behind her words .

“What would you do if it was you, Young Master?”

“What would I do?” Xue Qilin turned to look at Luo Qing and asked back blankly . Luo Qing’s question was so sudden that she couldn’t react .

“The matter with Qin Chen, how would you have handled it?”

“Why do you suddenly ask me this?” Xue Qilin tilted her head and blinked her eyes .

“Well…” Luo Qing pondered for a long time before continuing with a smile: “I’m a little curious . ”

“I’d beat him until he confessed . ” After saying that, Xue Qilin waved her tiny fist, which could punch through a thick tree trunk, with indignation .

Luo Qing couldn’t help but laughing, and rolled her eyes: “How can you beat people…”

Xue Qilin wrinkled her nose and curled her lips: “You guys are so indecisive and overcautious sometimes . ”

“Is that so?” Luo Qing was a little surprised . Apparently, she hasn’t been aware of this .

Xue Qilin spread her hands and said grumpily: “Isn’t that true? There are time where there is no right choice to make . Often times, it’s not a question of whether you should or not . ”

“Then what is it then?” Luo Qing stopped in her steps and inquired .

Seeing that Luo Qing didn’t keep pace with her, Xue Qilin stopped and looked back . She gave a straightforward smile and uttered with decisiveness that could slice nails and cut iron : “It’s a question of whether you want to or not . ”

Luo Qing was stunned for a while, then she lowered her gaze and said in a complicated tone of voice: “But is that really okay?”

“Okay or not okay?” Xue Qilin sneered, turned around, and took a step: “Who cares?”

Luo Qing didn’t respond . Xue Qilin didn’t know what the other party was thinking, but she went on to say: “People live for themselves, no, they can only live for yourself . But…” Xue Qilin’s tone of voice suddenly became mischievous: “What’s inside is another matter . ”

The sound of footsteps behind her resumed . The footsteps were clearly hasty, yet felt lively .

The two walked side by side .

Xue Qilin glanced at Luo Qing . Luo Qing has been watching her for a long time now without saying a word .

“What are you looking at? Have you never seen such a beautiful loli? “

Luo Qing shook her head and responded frankly: “Palace Master said that you’re unhinged and weird, Young Ancestor . ”

The expression in Xue Qilin’s eyes darkened: “So, what do you think?”

“I think that you’re weird, Young Ancestor, but it’s another kind of weird . ”

“What kind of weird am I?” Xue Qilin could not associate the word “weird” with anything good, but she still asked .

“You’re eccentric . ” In a rare fashion, Luo Qing showed a mischievous smile .

“I call it straightforward, okay?”

“Straightforward?” Luo Qing lowered her gaze and smiled bitterly: “Indeed . Your straightforwardness is enviable, Young Ancestor . ”
