Chapter 979

Mightiest Body Synthesis Realm Adept

“Congratulations, Master Chou,” congratulated Wei Ziqian, Spirit Severing Realm Ninth Layer elder of Meteor Manor, a nemesis of Golden Wolf Valley forced to come so as to not earn the umbrage of Tian Jiancheng.

“Long-time no see, Daoist Wei. How unfortunate for you to be still stuck in Body Synthesis Realm after all these years,” responded Chou Jinghuan.

As much as it ground his gears, Wei Ziqian tugged the corners of his lips up. “Of course not, Master Chou. This one cannot possibly compare to you.”

“You’ve already reached your cap, so you can’t compare. Am I right?”

Trying to avoid stepping on himself any further, Wei Ziqian replied, “You are a prodigy, indeed, Master Chou.”

“Wei Ziqian, if you betroth your gorgeous daughter to me, I can put in a good word for you in the future. Feel honoured I am giving you the opportunity to be my father-in-law.”

“My daughter is not worthy of you, Master Chou. I would not want to desecrate your reputation.”

“No, no, no, you are blessed I appreciate your daughter. You should be thankful, not worried. You have everything to gain and nothing to lose, right, Father-in-law?” Chou Jinghuan pushed the envelope with a shoulder clutch.

“But…”

“Old Wei, you should be thanking me on your knees for calling you ‘Father-in-law’, not challenging me. Are you implying my shifu disgraces you, or am I disgracing you?”

“Master Chou, I fear my daughter is still too immature to be a dutiful wife.” Wei Ziqian folded at the waist a little subconsciously.

“That’s for her to decide. Besides, I will teach her if she doesn’t meet expectations. I reckon the sixth is a good date. I’ll pick her up from Meteor Manor in three days’ time. Have a seat. I need to greet the other guests.”

Lifting as though he was walking through a pool of mud, Wei Ziqian spun his brain cogs for a solution to save his daughter from the prison of the devil. If he tried to assassinate Wei Ziqian, the numerous Spirit Severing Realm cultivators present would stop him.

Meanwhile, Chou Jinghuan licked his lips, thinking, I heard you slaughtered a decent number of elemental demons in your last campaign. I’ll blackmail with your daughter, rip your throat out and take your soul points for myself.

An hour later, a Spirit Severing Realm elder announced, “Elder Tian Jiancheng has arrived!” hushing the street and ushering the people aside.

“Strange,” Mu Yu remarked, watching Tian Jiancheng, now heralded as Mightiest Body Synthesis Realm adept.

“What is it?” Xiaoshuai queried.

“From experience, those that fiend souls have possessed have a wild look in their eyes. I’ve been trying to approach Tian Jiancheng since he’s supposed to be under Xiang Nan’s control, but I don’t see that wildness in Tian Jiancheng’s eyes. Instead, he carries the aura of a composed adept. I can’t put my finger on what’s amiss; all I can say is that it’s somehow familiar.”

Chou Jingyuan stepped forward and prostrated himself at the front door, playing the humble disciple down to the minute details. “Greetings, Shifu. Long live Shifu!”

Tian Jiancheng stopped upon reaching Chou Jinghuan and bobbed his head. In an affable tone, Tian Jiancheng conveyed, “We are men of our word. From now on, you will fight alongside me as my disciple for the sake of the world.”

“I will follow your exemplary model from now on. I will fight alongside you to the death. I swear to slay elemental demons for the sake of the world!” Chou Jinghuan swore, disgusting those who knew him better than they would have liked.

“Rise.”

“Thank you, Shifu.” Chou Jinghuan stood up and bowed. “Please come in, Shifu.”

A cultivator inwardly analysed, It seems they don’t care how we procure our soul points in spite of the rule they set. I guess there’s no way to incriminate Chou Jinghuan, though.

“Let’s see how long he’ll last with Tian Jiancheng before sitting a knife in his new shifu’s back,” Mu Yu commented.
