After being reborn, all I want to do is run away.

Chapter 86 Reconciling Conflicts

"A top-grade Earth-rank item!!" The three of them were immediately shocked by Shen Xu's words.

"I never expected this! I never expected that our ancestor would be willing to leave behind such a technique for us!" Song Qi exclaimed in amazement.

"For three hundred years, our Green Bamboo Mountain Range has finally produced a young man qualified to inherit the mantle of our ancestor. Master, can you see it?" The First Elder's face was immediately streaked with tears.

"I thought it would be this person, but it turned out to be an unknown kid," Elder Huang sighed.

"Isn't there the Wood Inheritance left by the Ancestor in the Cloud and Mist Bamboo Realm? I won't lose to Senior Brother Shen!" Yang Qiqi looked at Shen Xu with fighting spirit in her eyes. She was determined to use her strength to make Shen Xu look at her differently.

"Qiqi, it's good that you have this ambition!" Song Qi said with a face full of satisfaction.

"Shen Xu, as the first person to successfully pass the patriarch's test, is there anything you want to say to Qi Qi?" Elder Huang asked.

Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze immediately turned to Shen Xu.

Shen Xu looked at the girl in green before him. Since their parting at the outer sect's hall, he had not paid much attention to her. After such a long time, she seemed to have matured quite a bit, but in Shen Xu's eyes, she was still a little girl, completely unrelated to the aloof fairy from his previous life.

If possible, Shen Xu hoped that Yang Qiqi could continue to be carefree, but that was destined to be impossible. The Qingzhu Sword Sect placed all its expectations on the girl's shoulders, and sooner or later the girl would become the aloof fairy from her previous life.

Yang Qiqi felt a little embarrassed by Shen Xu's stare and turned her head slightly away, but her eyes still couldn't help but look at Shen Xu's face.

"We cannot disbelieve the words of the Patriarch, nor can we believe them entirely!" Shen Xu solemnly instructed Yang Qiqi.

Seeing Shen Xu's serious expression and extremely solemn words, Yang Qiqi nodded gently.

"According to you, isn't what Ancestral Master Wuying said quite credible?" Song Qi couldn't help but ask.

"I don't know, but I feel disgusted whenever I think of the Ancestral Master's shadow. He must have done something terrible to me in the Cloud Mist Bamboo Realm. It's probably right to be careful around him," Shen Xu said thoughtfully.

"Is that so? It seems that the Ancestral Master's misty shadow was also part of the test!" the Grand Elder said slowly.

“Shen Xu, we are very grateful that you told us all this. Is there anything you would like to ask?” Song Qi asked.

"How about giving me some time off? I haven't been home in ages," Shen Xu said with a smile.

"Haha, how could I? I'll give you a month, and then I'll send you another hundred Nourishing Essence Pills, how about that?"

"Thank you, Sect Leader," Shen Xu said.

"And what happened to you in the Enforcement Hall back then, how about I have them each pay you one hundred Nourishing Yuan Pills, and you're not allowed to cause them any more trouble? Don't think it's too little, some of them don't even get ten Nourishing Yuan Pills a month," Song Qi suggested.

"Some people can, some people can't," Shen Xu said respectfully. In any case, with his current strength, he couldn't do anything to so many elders, so he was happy to get some benefits.

"Elder Jiang is willing to offer a thousand coins and publicly apologize to you. What do you think of this offer?" Song Qi said with a smile.

"One thousand!!" Shen Xu was immediately taken aback by this number. Was the Jiang family really that rich?

“You’ve taught all three of his children a lesson, especially those two brothers, each one of them was covered in blood. And a powerful elder apologized to you in public; his attitude was already low enough. You should be forgiving,” Song Qi advised.

“This disciple naturally has no objection, but let’s skip the public apology! This disciple prefers to keep a low profile,” Shen Xu replied coldly.

He urgently needs the Nourishing Essence Pill to improve his strength. Revenge is not something to be rushed. There is no need to fight to the death with an elder whose strength is far superior to his. He can just crush him when his strength reaches that level.

"What a joke! Be low-key? How have you been low-key? You've only been in the inner sect for a few days, and you've already done so many shocking things." Song Qi was almost amused by his own words.

"Disciple realizes his mistake!"

“Who said you’re wrong? Not only are you right, but you’ve also made great contributions to the sect. If you weren’t so arrogant, you wouldn’t have entered the Cloud Mist Bamboo Realm!” Song Qi said earnestly.

"Master the Sixfold Wave technique as soon as possible. The opportunity I promised you for the Outer Sect Competition is coming soon!" Song Qi patted Shen Xu on the shoulder.

"Sect Leader, can you tell me what kind of opportunity it is?"

"I'll tell you once you've mastered the Sixfold Wave Technique," Song Qi said with a smile, patting his shoulder.

"Go back! Remember, don't tell anyone about our conversation today."

"Shen Xu, you can come to the library when you have time. I'm sure you're also curious about the aura emanating from you!" Elder Huang said calmly.

Shen Xu looked at Elder Huang with some surprise, then respectfully said, "This disciple will definitely pay him a visit!"

"Then this disciple takes his leave!" Shen Xu bowed to the three and then left the main hall.

After Shen Xu left, Song Qi instructed Yang Qiqi, "Qiqi, you can go down now!"

"Yes, Master," Yang Qiqi replied respectfully, and then withdrew from the main hall.

"Sect Leader, the Cloud Mist Bamboo Realm should be sealed off. The Ancestral Master's Wood Inheritance can only be obtained by Qi Qi," the First Elder said.

"Many people witnessed the battle between Shen Xu and Jiang Mingqi today, and I'm afraid quite a few will have their own ideas. Moreover, Qingshan was also there today, and he was comprehending the meaning of wood," Elder Huang reminded them.

“I’ve already sent Chen Feng to keep watch there. No one else will go in before Qiqi does.”

"Chen Feng might not be enough. Chen Lian is quite free lately, so we can have him keep watch for a while," Elder Huang suggested.

"Alright, let Hall Master Chen stay and oversee things for a while!"

"What do you two think of what Shen Xu said?" Song Qi asked.

“He probably wasn’t lying; this child still has feelings for the sect,” Elder Huang said.

“I think so too,” the elder echoed.

"Since we both agree that what Shen Xu said is correct, we can tailor a training plan for Qi Qi based on his words and his performance on the fencing stage today. What aspects do you two think we should start with?"

"After Shen Xu returned from the Cloud Mist Bamboo Realm, his swordsmanship performance was very unusual. Although I had never seen Shen Xu's swordsmanship level before, it was still too incongruous for such superb swordsmanship to appear in a child," Elder Huang said thoughtfully.

"The meaning of wood! Since Shen Xu said that the meaning of wood is needed to pass the level, then Qi Qi must comprehend the meaning of wood, and she must comprehend it to a relatively high level." The First Elder said.

"In other words, the essence of wood and swordsmanship will definitely play a significant role in the Cloud and Mist Bamboo Realm!" Song Qi concluded.

"How about letting Shen Xu teach the Seven-Seven Sword Technique, and Qingshan teach the application of the Seven-Seven Wood Intent? Anyway, the two of them are about to leave, so when is a better time to use them?" Song Qi suggested with a smile.

"I think it's a great idea. It will also allow Qingshan and Shen Xu to get to know each other better, and they'll be able to rely on each other from now on," Elder Huang agreed.

"Let Wang Ya go too! She can help reconcile the relationship between the three of them," the First Elder suggested.

"The Grand Elder's consideration is indeed thorough!"
