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

Chapter 99



Chapter 99: 99

Chapter 99 – Little Vixen

… It must be the voice of hope .

“… Qilin, dodge to the right!”

Trusting the voice instinctively, Xue Qilin watching Phecda approach from the left leaned her head back .

A fireball broke into the lass’s field of vision from the peripheral .

It is a small, a pitifully small fireball . It’s not in the same league as Thunder Flame Dragon No . 3 in terms of power .

Even so, after hitting Shui Yuner’s wrist, it was enough to make the latter become sluggish, enough to allow a gray sword blade containing red intrude between Phecda and Xue Qilin .

The lass recognizes the long sword that saved her life .

It is Sky Apart .

Tilted at a small angle, Sky Apart deflected Phecda .

At the same time, Ye Zhen hurriedly hugged Shui Yuner from behind .

“Qilin, don’t space out! Grab the sword!”

The familiar voice awakened Xue Qilin, who was still in a trance .

“Alright!”

Xue Qilin let go of Empyrean Universe, and the large sword fell to the ground .

“Eat my loli kick!”

The lass spun her body, and blueish-white light wrapped around her slender leg .

“No!”

Shui Yuner finally panicked .

No, it should be said Phecda!

The delicate sole of a a blue embroidered shoe whipped the joint of Shui Yuner’s right wrist, and a violent force penetrated her entire arm .

Crack – the unpleasant sound of bones breaking rang .

Shui Yuner’s right hand suddenly lost all strength .

However, Phecda is still firmly attached to her hand .

“Eat another kick!”

Taking advantage of the reaction force, Xue Qilin changed the direction of the spin, kicking violently from bottom to top .

Phecda’s sword blade was hit, and it finally left Shui Yuner’s hand and shot high into the air .

At the same time, Shui Yuner tilted her head slightly, lost consciousness, closed her eyes, and collapsed . If she wasn’t held by Ye Zhen, she would have fallen on the ground .

Phecda stopped strangely in the air, shaking fiercely .

When Xue Qilin saw this, she realized that she wanted to return to Shui Yuner’s hand again .

“Don’t even think about it! Brat!”

Pulled by the domain, Empyrean Universe that fell on the ground rose into the air and knocked Phecda away .

“Young Ancestor, catch!”

“What!”

Ye Zhen suddenly tossed Shui Yuner and rushed towards Phecda, who stopped in the air again .

Xue Qilin quickly caught Shui Yuner .

A scent close to that of water entered her nose . The warm, soft sensation from the girl’s body made the lass feel at ease .

After landing on the ground with Shui Yuner in her arms, Xue Qilin immediately looked down and found that Shui Yuner’s eyelashes are trembling slightly, as if she’s just asleep .

“It’s nothing serious…”

Xue Qilin breathed a sigh of relief .

“That’s good then!”

A familiar voice sounded next to her ear, which made Xue Qilin suddenly feel moved .

She turned and saw Qi Qiqi, who just so happened to have an expression of relief .

“I already called a doctor . ”

Qi Qiqi’s fiery red eyes are resolute .

“Yo yo yo, you made thorough preparations!”

“Who do you think you have before you?”

Qi Qiqi rolled her eyes . However, the smugness at the corners of the girl’s mouth didn’t escape Xue Qilin’s eyes .

“Yes yes yes, our Little Seven is the most reliable . ”

Xue Qilin placed Shui Yuner on the ground and laid the girl’s head to her lap .

Sleeping with a peaceful face, Shui Yuner appears not to feel the pain stemming from broken bones .

She must have fainted .

Xue Qilin placed her porcelain hand on Shui Yuner’s forehead .

“What are you doing?”

Seeing the lass’s hand suddenly release gentle white light, Qi Qiqi asked curiously .

Xue Qilin closed her eyes, not replying . When Qi Qiqi saw this, she didn’t pursue it, but just stood quietly aside .

Soon after, Xue Qilin withdrew her hand and breathed out heavily .

“I was checking her soul for damage . ”

“And?”

“Have a guess . ”

Qi Qiqi just raised her fist, causing Xue Qilin’s expression to freeze .

“Don’t don’t don’t… everything’s okay! Phecda didn’t seem to do anything to her, she just took over her body . ”

At this time, Ye Zhen came over, holding firmly the struggling Phecda .

“Young Ancestor, I’m going to put Phecda back into the Sword Mound . ”

“Wait…” Xue Qilin said lightly, “Give me Phecda . ”

“Why do you want it? This is the founder’s sword! No matter what, you can’t…”

“I won’t take her, relax!”

Unconvinced, Qi Qiqi looked at Xue Qilin suspiciously .

“Really?”

“What do I need another sword for?”

Xue Qilin uttered, vexed .

“Okay…” Qi Qiqi turned to Ye Zhen, “Uncle Teacher Ye, give the sword to the Young Ancestor . ”

Ye Zhen nodded and gave Phecda to Xue Qilin, expressionless .

The lass held Phecda’s hilt with one hand and stroked the sword blade with the other hand . Phecda calmed down gradually .

After a long silence, Xue Qilin finally spoke .

“Phecda, I can hear you . ”

‘… You can hear me?’

A childish voice sounded directly in Xue Qilin’s head .

“Yes, I can . ”

‘… You really can?’

Her tone is that of incredulity .

This isn’t surprising .

Phecda is still some distance away from being a complete item spirit . She’s only an embryonic form with a consciousness . Ordinary people simply can’t perceive her existence . If it weren’t for Shui Yuner’s physique, she wouldn’t be able to communicate her either . But Shui Yuner’s physique is beyond rare .

However, Xue Qilin is also able to hear her voice .

‘Don’t put me back there again!’

Phecda pleaded emotionally and sorrowfully .

“Really, I’m actually quite angry . You made such a… But I have to say, I also am responsible… If it weren’t for me, Little Yun wouldn’t have sneaked into the Sword Mount and taken you out . ”

Xue Qilin lowered her eyes and spoke lightly, sounding like she is talking about something trivial .

‘I… I’m sorry… I just don’t want to go back there…’

Phecda sounds wronged, like a child scolded by their parents for doing something wrong .

‘Sorry, I’m sorry… I rarely meet someone who can hear me . I really don’t want to go back there again . There, it’s so quiet, dark, cold… Please, don’t make me go back . ’

“You can’t become a sword spirit, you know this, right?”

‘I know… I tried various methods . But alas… I still haven’t transformed . ’

Xue Qilin nodded .

“I can keep you by my side – I won’t give you to Little Yun, though . I can’t trust you . I don’t want what happened today to repeat . ”

‘I’m okay with anyone!’

Phecda’s voice sound’s urgent .

‘I just… want someone to talk to . ’

“Yo yo yo, you’re also okay with me?”

Xue Qilin teased .

Phecda was silent . Instead, the sword blade shook slightly, as if nodding .

“That’s good . However, you can’t stay in Phecda sword anymore . This sword doesn’t belong to me . It can only return to the Sword Mound, that’s where it belongs – you can separate your spirit from Phecda sword, can’t you?”

‘But…’

Phecda is very hesitant . Probably because she lived in Phecda sword for a long time, she is reluctant to part with it .

“I have a way to nurture you and make you into a sword spirit . ”

Xue Qilin uttered, playing it down .

‘Really?’

She felt like a lass’s face with round eyes appeared in front of her .

Is what I said so unconvincing? Xue Qilin rolled her eyes .

“If you don’t believe me, then forget about it . ”

‘I believe you, I believe you . ’ Phecda is quite excited, but she still remembered to say, ‘But if you lied to me, you will lose your teeth!’

“Okay, I don’t want to eat without teeth anyway!”

Xue Qilin knocked Phecda’s sword blade impatiently .

Then she turned to look at Ye Zhen .

“Is it okay if Phecda stays with me for a few days?”

“Only if the Temple Master agrees . ”

Ye Zhen kicked the ball to Qi Qiqi .

Xue Qilin turned her attention to Qi Qiqi .

“Little Seven, what say you?”

“Do as you like…”

Qi Qiqi answered after a moment of thought, and the Xue Qilin snapped her fingers .

“Then it’s settled . ”

“I’ll go deal with the aftermath . ”

With that, Ye Zhen turned around and left .

After his figure disappeared from view, Xue Qilin picked up Shui Yuner and walked towards the Middle Peak .

“When did you learn Fireball?”

When she was at death’s door, Qi Qiqi was the one who released a fireball that won her a chance to live .

Walking side by side with her, Qi Qiqi’s cheecks flushed like two small red flowers, and she said meekly: “Some, Some… time ago . ”

Xue Qilin raised her eyebrows, unhappy .

“Then why didn’t I know of it? Why didn’t you tell me?”

“I wanted to surprise you!”

To some extent, it was really a big surprise… Xue Qilin doesn’t know whether to laugh or cry . Not only did the girl learn Fireball, but she also saved her .

Qi Qiqi suddenly stopped, and her face darkened .

Realizing that the person walking beside her stopped, Xue Qilin blinked her eyes and asked: “What’s wrong?”

“… Uncle Teacher Liu, what are you going to do?”

Xue Qilin froze, and then sneered .

“It never ends . ”

She showed restraint repeatedly, yet the other party is always pushing his luck .

… Even a saint won’t bear it, let alone Xue Qilin who has nothing to do with the word “saint” .

“Shui Yuner has caused a big disaster, she can’t stay in the Merak Temple . ”

Qi Qiqi’s tone suddenly became cold . She can’t bear to look straight at Xue Qilin .

What did she say? Xue Qilin looked back at Qi Qiqi in disbelief, not expecting to hear such words coming from the other party’s mouth .

“Not only did she enter the Sword Mound without permission, stole Phecda, wrecked the tournament, and ruined the martial arts ground, but she also hurt the vice-Temple Master and dozens of outer sect disciples . You tell me whether she should be expelled or not . ”

An expressionless look in her eyes, Qi Qiqi counted on her fingers and enumerated Shui Yuner’s crimes .

“I’m already giving you face by expelling her . ”

“I won’t allow it!”

Xue Qilin frowned .

“So what?”

“I am your senior!”

Qi Qiqi snorted .

“How shameless . Only at this time do you assume the mantle of an ancestors . However, let me tell you, fat chance!”

Qi Qiqi continued overbearingly: “Although you are an ancestor, but I am the Temple Master, I am the one in charge here! If I don’t expel Shui Yuner, how do I explain this to the forefathers? How do I explain this to the disciples of the Merak Temple?”

An obscure fire lit up inside her, and Xue Qilin uttered in anger .

“If you insist on expelling Shui Yuner, then I’ll…”

Xue Qilin couldn’t voice the latter part of the sentence .

Qi Qiqi showed a disconsolate and disappointed look, which was like a bucket of cold water poured onto Xue Qilin’s rage .

“Then you’ll what? Say it . Will you leave the Merak Temple?”

Qi Qiqi’s senses are very sharp under such circumstances, as if she can see through people’s hearts .

“I…”

A bitter expression on her face, Xue Qilin is left speechless .

She did want to say this just now .

However, after calming down, she became ashamed .

She forgot Qi Qiqi, forgot Luo Qing, forgot Xia Xue, forgot Gong Tianqing – she forgot these most important people she once called “family” .

“… Sorry . ”

Qi Qiqi’s expression became colder .

“Either the Merak Temple or Shui Yuner, choose one . ”

As if she became another person, estrangement permeates her tone .

“I…”

Xue Qilin is in a bind . Whether it is the Merak Temple or Shui Yuner, she doesn’t want to abandon either of them .

However, she knows that she might lose both if she doesn’t make a choice .

After much consideration, she came to the answer…

“I want both!”

Qi Qiqi looked askance at the lass and sneered .

“You really are overbearing…”

Speaking till here, she suddenly switched gears .

“Well, it’s actually not impossible . ”

Qi Qiqi extended her index finger .

“But there are conditions . ”

“What conditions?”

“First, you have to cover all the damage out of your pocket! Your monthly allowance will be reduced from 5 to 1 silver tael!”

“Wait a moment! This is not my fault!”

My allowance is the lowest in the Merak Temple’s inner temple to begin with, and now you want to reduce it? Xue Qilin released a sad cry .

“The Teacher sharing half of the disciple’s debt is a matter of course! Shui Yuner’s allowance will also be reduced!”

Qi Qiqi’s heartless words left Xue Qilin speechless .

“Second…”

After hearing Qi Qiqi’s second request, Xue Qilin was taken aback for a while .

It was act just now in order to make Xue Qilin agree to her second request .

She got played! It took a bit of time for Xue Qilin to understand it .

“Little Seven, when did you become so clever?”

“Why, do you want to eat a fist?”

Qi Qiqi arched her eyebrows and waved her fist, and Xue Qilin shivered .

“No no no!”

“Then do you agree or not!”

Qi Qiqi hasn’t put away her fist yet .

“Fine, I agree!”

Helpless, Xue Qilin can only agree to her request .

This little vixen! Seeing Qi Qiqi smile smugly, the lass gritted her teeth .
