Does anyone actually Believes That My Master Is A Mortal?

Misty Mountain, mid-mountain.

At this very moment.

Zhang Han was cheerfully making his way up to the cave entrance that belonged to Su Qianyuan.

"Hm? This Evil Earth Qi is way too dense, it's even spilling out of the cave."

"This third junior brother is quite diligent in his cultivation, invoking such powerful Earthly Sha to perform Body Refinement. Anyone else would probably die without even knowing how they died, and here he is, staking his life on his training."

"Could it be that he got beaten to tears and resolved to diligently cultivate from now on?"

Zhang Han was indeed quite amused.

Completely lacking in concern.

He was full of schadenfreude though. Your adventure continues at empire

With an enthusiastic mindset, Zhang Han approached the cave entrance, cast an Array and notified Su Qianyuan.

It wasn't long before.

The door of the cave was pushed open.

With his upper body bare, Su Qianyuan stepped out.

Compared to before, Su Qianyuan's presence was more than a notch stronger, his torso bared, his muscles well-defined, and his skin a bronze color, as if impervious to sword and spear.

A faint hint of Evil Earth Qi swirled around his body.

Like a ferocious beast.

"Third junior brother, this is..."

Zhang Han originally wanted to greet him, but upon seeing Su Qianyuan's complexion, he paused for a moment.

He remembered that Su Qianyuan usually had a look that was a mix of dignity and comicality.

Now...

Expressionless.

Just short of having 'I have no feelings' written on his face.

"Greetings, second senior brother. May I ask, is there any reason you sought me out? If there is nothing in particular, I would like to return to my cultivation."

Su Qianyuan offered a formal bow with his hands clasped.

"Nothing much, just returned to the mountain and came to see you. Why, are you not in a good mood?"

Zhang Han gestured elegantly with his hand and asked with a smile.

"Yes, not in a great mood. Planning to go into seclusion for a while. Second senior brother, if there's nothing else, I'll be going back now."

Su Qianyuan stated emotionlessly.

After what had happened to him.

Could his mood be good?

Not having a mental breakdown was already something.

However, upon hearing this, Zhang Han furrowed his brows.

It's just getting beaten up.

Is it worth being in such a bad mood?

Even cried about it.

No, as the future Sect Master of the Daoless Sect, as the current second senior brother, he felt he had an obligation to educate the third junior brother a bit on his mindset.

"Junior brother, not to criticize you, but it isn't something worth getting upset over, is it?"

"As a disciple of the Wayless Sect, as a disciple of our Respected Master, shouldn't you have a stronger mindset? How else will you manage?"

Zhang Han spoke up.

"Senior brother, you know about my matter?"

Su Qianyuan looked up and asked.

"Yes, I know. That chubby cook told me."

Zhang Han nodded and admitted it.

"Since senior brother already knows about this, why encourage me to strengthen my mindset? If it were you, you would have probably slaughtered that person's entire family, wouldn't you?"

Su Qianyuan said with a grim face.

Upon hearing this.

Zhang Han was taken aback.

Surely not.

He was just beaten to tears, right?

Was it necessary to kill someone's entire family?

The third junior brother's Daoist heart is wavering.

"No, junior brother, it isn't like that; you need to have a better mindset. Such a small matter does not necessitate going as far as killing someone's whole family."

Zhang Han advised.

"Then, what would you do in my place, senior brother?"

Su Qianyuan took a deep breath and asked.

"Of course, I would appeal to their emotions and reason with them, gradually resolving the issue. It's not like I would go as far as killing their entire family."

Zhang Han said with a scholarly tone.

Su Qianyuan: "..."

Senior brother is still impressive.

After being cuckolded, yet still dealing with it through emotions and reason, seeking a slow resolution.

Not many can do that.

Only second senior brother could have such a broad mind.

"Second senior brother, I admire you, but I can't be like you with this temper of mine. I managed to let him leave unharmed, and that's the biggest concession I can make. To ask me to let it go completely—that's impossible."

Su Qianyuan shook his head and said.

"Junior brother, this attitude of yours really won't do,"

Zhang Han shook his head as he spoke.

"Senior brother, I can't change it even if you ask me to, that's just my temperament. I've been tolerant to such an extent already, all for the sake of giving face to the eldest senior brother."

"Junior brother, you're a disciple of the Wudao Sect, yet your tolerance is lacking."

"I can't compare to senior brother!"

"It would be better for you to change, junior brother!"

"Senior brother, I really can't change this..."

"..."

For the first time, the two brothers had a conflict of perspectives.

Neither was willing to give in to the other.

The argument continued on and on.

"Junior brother, if you keep being this stubborn, I'll have to speak to our Respected Master."

Zhang Han resolutely brought up Chu Yuan.

"Senior brother! Even if the Respected Master were here himself, I wouldn't change. I really don't have the same...preferences as you do, how can I change that?"

Su Qianyuan would not budge, his resolve was firm.

Hm?

Zhang Han was about to say something else, his lips already parting, but suddenly he paused.

Preferences? What preferences?

What was this third junior brother talking about?

Zhang Han suddenly realized something.

Perhaps he and the third junior brother were not talking about the same issue.

"Preferences? Junior brother, make yourself clear, what preferences," Zhang Han asked, puzzled.

"The preference for being cuckolded, obviously!!" Su Qianyuan said without mincing words.

Zhang Han: "..."

He really wanted to hit someone.

Finally, after another round of conversation,

Zhang Han finally understood what had happened.

He was completely bewildered.

Li Ergang, without knowing the truth, had been pestering him with claims,

saying things like Su Qianyuan was beaten until he cried...

"Cough cough, it's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding, junior brother... this is all a misunderstanding..."

Zhang Han kept coughing.

Any semblance of elegance he might have had was tossed aside.

"Senior brother, if there's nothing else, then I'll go back to continue my body refinement," Su Qianyuan said expressionlessly, leaving behind those words as he prepared to turn around and leave.

"Wait, junior brother," said Zhang Han, "seeing your momentum now, it's stronger than before. Why don't we have a friendly sparring match? It could be a distraction."

Zhang Han tentatively asked.

Upon hearing this,

Su Qianyuan stopped in his tracks at the entrance of the cave.

He hesitated for a moment.

The next second,

Su Qianyuan slowly began to speak.

"Alright, then senior brother... be careful!"

As his words fell,

Su Qianyuan suddenly turned around and threw a punch at Zhang Han.

Boom...

The violent fist wind swept by, shattering the ground in layers, creating countless fissures as if it intended to rip everything apart.

The sound of sonic booms erupted.

This punch had the power approaching the Divinity Transformation Realm.

Su Qianyuan's technique was simple, just a single punch.

One punch with all his might, focused on a single point, to annihilate the enemy with absolute explosive force.

Clearly, he was serious, throwing his full power into the punch at Zhang Han.

He was not afraid of actually exploding Zhang Han.

He knew that this second senior brother was at the Divinity Transformation Realm.

"Junior brother, is this what you call sparring?!"

Zhang Han too was startled by the punch.

A single thought arose.

An array sprang up beneath his feet, lifting him high into the air, avoiding the punch.

"Summoning Taiyin Star!!!"

Zhang Han joined his fingers together, pointed at the sky, and greatly drew upon the power of the Taiyin Star.

An array formed in the midair.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Rolling Yin energy rose up, and a miniaturized Taiyin Star was instantaneously created, crashing down towards Su Qianyuan below with immense force...
