Chapter 971: Li Jiayue!
"You won't regret your decision today."
Seeing Kun Weitian openly state his intention to join the Reverse Shadow Sect, Qin Chen spoke.
Kun Weitian nodded inwardly.
How old is Qin Chen?
Just twenty!
Yet he can shake the entire West Origin, aiming to eradicate the shadow that has engulfed it for decades!
Such an action, such a grand gesture, who can imagine it's led by a teenager under twenty?
Kun Weitian saw an indescribable potential in Qin Chen.
Following such a person, Kun Weitian even felt that his future path would undergo a tremendous change.
"Perhaps, I should go and talk to my other two brothers."
Kun Weitian's gaze flickered as he spoke.
"Other two brothers?" Qin Chen raised an eyebrow, seeming to realize something.
"Yes." Kun Weitian nodded.
"The other two Kings of West Origin."
"Blood-Faced Demon King, Qian Dao!"
"Chess King, Gu Qianjue!"
"The three of us are the Three Kings of West Origin, not belonging to any force, and have always maintained a good relationship."
"Perhaps, I should go talk to them about the Reverse Shadow Sect."
Kun Weitian looked at Qin Chen, speaking seriously.
Qin Chen smiled, then nodded.
Leaving the tea house, Qin Chen returned to Shitian's Mansion.
The next day.
Li Junyu sent a message to Qin Chen.
His cousin Li Jiayue had returned from the Butterfly Flower Divine Sect and wanted to thank Qin Chen for curing Li Rou.
Thus, Qin Chen came to the Li Mansion.
"Are you Doctor Qin?"
Li Jiayue looked at Qin Chen, so young, with autumn water eyes showing a hint of surprise.
In her mind, the more skilled a physician, the older they should be.
"Hmm." Qin Chen nodded lightly.
On Li Jiayue, he could sense a strong sense of superiority.
It's obvious this person emerged from a powerful force.
"Young Master Qin..."
Li Rou looked at Qin Chen, her face slightly flushed.
Seeing her cousin like this, Li Jiayue immediately understood, her brow furrowing.
"Has cousin fallen for this Qin fellow?"
"Though cousin's talent isn't bad, this Qin fellow only knows a bit of medicine. In this world, martial arts rule; what good is medicine regardless of how skilled?"
"Cousin's vision is ultimately too narrow..."
Li Jiayue thought to herself.
She, too, once liked a young man from Qiuzhou, just like Li Rou.
But after entering the Butterfly Flower Divine Sect, she discovered how vast the world truly is, turning her former affection into disdain.
"How has Miss Li Rou been feeling recently?" Qin Chen asked as he looked at Li Rou with a smile.
"Very well."
Hearing Qin Chen's concern, Li Rou felt secretly delighted.
Seeing Qin Chen's concern for Li Rou, Li Jiayue frowned, thinking to herself, "With cousin's talent, she'll soon be able to enter the Butterfly Flower Divine Sect to cultivate alongside me."
"This Qin fellow is just a doctor; he can't possibly be good enough for cousin."
"I must make this Qin fellow give up soon so as not to delay cousin's cultivation."
"Come with me to Qiu Haohuan."
"You saved my cousin; naturally, I, Li Jiayue, must thank you properly."
Li Jiayue spoke to Qin Chen.
"Qiu Haohuan? Isn't that the most luxurious tavern in Qiuzhou besides the West Origin Immortal Tower?" Li Junyu was somewhat surprised.
"Just one Qiu Haohuan."
"Jun Yu, Little Rou, you're so young and unaware of just how vast this world is."
"I've entered countless inns more luxurious than Qiu Haohuan."
"Indeed, tomorrow I'll attend a recent grand event of West Origin at the West Origin Immortal Tower, supposedly the entire tower will be rented for the day."
Li Jiayue spoke with utter nonchalance.
"Renting the tower?! That's the West Origin Immortal Tower!!!"
Hearing this, Li Junyu's shock was beyond words.
He couldn't imagine what kind of grand event could have the entire West Origin Immortal Tower rented out.
"Too bad your skills are too weak, otherwise I might have taken you there to broaden your horizons."
Li Jiayue said, glancing at Qin Chen.
Li Jiayue was surprised when she found that despite all she'd said, Qin Chen's expression remained unchanged.
She had deliberately said all those things to make Qin Chen realize what disparity meant.
Contrary to her expectations, Qin Chen seemed unperturbed, which naturally irked her.
"Go on, pretend, but inside you're already stirring an immense wave."
Li Jiayue couldn't believe that Qin Chen was unaffected; she thought he was merely putting on an act.
She became even more convinced that Qin Chen and Li Rou shouldn't be together.
Thinking Qin Chen was too cunning.
"Let's go," Li Jiayue said.
At this moment, Li Junyu approached Li Jiayue's ear and whispered, "Cousin, don't forget what I told you; Doctor Qin is a benefactor of the Li Family. If possible, ensure to help Doctor Qin fulfill his dream."
"Rest assured, taking him to Qiu Haohuan now is to help him fulfill his dream."
Li Jiayue nodded to Li Junyu.
Qin Chen's brow raised.
Fulfill a dream?
Following Li Jiayue, Qin Chen headed towards Qiu Haohuan's location.
"Doctor Qin, excuse my rudeness, do you have a girlfriend?" Li Jiayue asked.
"Yes." Qin Chen replied.
Yes?
Hearing this, Li Jiayue's expression changed.
She almost blurted out, asking why he'd flirt with Li Rou if he already had a girlfriend!
"I think, since Doctor Qin already has a girlfriend, some caution is advisable!" Li Jiayue said.
Qin Chen stopped in his tracks.
He looked at Li Jiayue with an odd expression.
Although Li Jiayue hadn't mentioned names clearly, Qin Chen naturally understood.
"I have no other intentions towards Miss Li Rou, rest assured." Qin Chen said.
"That's good." Li Jiayue watched Qin Chen, eyes flickering, then smiled.
Yet her smile carried a hint of coldness.
No other intentions? Who would believe that?
"I need to think of a way," Li Jiayue thought to herself.
"Miss Li, being a Heavenly Pride of the Butterfly Flower Divine Sect, do you know Dao Xiaoyao and Huaa Ruoran?" Qin Chen asked.
"Dao Xiaoyao and Huaa Ruoran? You actually know them?" Li Jiayue was immediately surprised.
"Hmm." Qin Chen nodded.
"You're not a disciple of a legendary force, yet you know them. You wouldn't want me to introduce you to them, right?"
Considering Li Rou, Li Jiayue clearly viewed Qin Chen as a philanderer.
"No need for introductions, I'm already friends with both of them." Qin Chen responded.
Poof!
Upon hearing this, Li Jiayue was immediately shocked, speechless.
She looked at Qin Chen with some disbelief and asked, "Do you know who Dao Xiaoyao and Huaa Ruoran are?"
"They, along with two of the Great Origin Four Beauties—Yian Jingyao and Yun Xianyi—are known as the Four Beauties of the Butterfly Flower Divine Sect."
"They have countless suitors, and you say you're friends with them?"
