BXBX NOVEL Chapter 66: Qing Zhiyan
"It\'s enough. Did you learn your lesson, kid?"
The young woman jumped back in fear as she got into a fighting stance upon hearing the eerie calm voice. She had been in the dead silent world for a whole day and hearing the voice so suddenly shocked her to the core.
She took a deep breath and looked up, only to see two giant green eyes in the sky, looking directly at her. Compared to the enormous eyes covering whole sky, she looked like a small ant.
However, even then she didn\'t lose her cool and clasped her hand, as she said while bowing.
"Greetings, Senior. My name is Qing Zhiyan. I wonder what I did that offended you?"
The same voice then sounded again, as the eyes narrowed at her.
"You tried to use your eyes on my Master. If I had not sensed it in time and stopped you, your soul and body would have been obliterated. Even a single glimpse of his true self will be enough to cause you a brain damage, well, if you\'re able to survive that is."
Qing Zhiyan trembled hearing that. In the whole day she had spent searching for clues, she had made guesses for being in this situation. And one of them was that she was trying to pry into a powerful person and received a backlash. Of course, she never imagined that there would someone so powerful that even the Divine Eyes Of Truth wouldn\'t be able to help her.
She took a deep breath and said.
"I apologise for that. A Ther 2 Sect has been destroyed and I was investigating...."
"You don\'t need to say anything. I already know everything. I just did this to test you. You\'re a crafty yet stubborn woman who would go to any lengths to get stronger. You\'ll do good under my Master and that\'s why I decided to test you."
Qing Zhiyan was shocked at first, but then nodded. The being in front of her was obviously someone who transcended the Heavens themselves, otherwise she could think of nothing that could surpass the Divine Eyes of Truth. That meant that she could hide nothing from this being and she was like a open book in front of her.
Because of that, she decided to not use her schemes and speak her mind.
"Yes, Senior. If you know so much then you should also know how my life has been till now. I want to become strong, so strong that no one, not even the Major Sects could stop me. About being under your master....will he accept a weakling like me?"
In all honesty, Qing Zhiyan believed that the only thing she had were her eyes and nothing else. That\'s why she was confused if the master of this being in front of her would consider her taking in.
"You don\'t need to worry about that. My Master is very kind and as long as you don\'t have any ulterior motives and wants to serve his Sect with pure heart and pure dedication, he\'ll accept you. Also, he\'s the one who destroyed the Sect because the Sect did a sin of offending."
Qing Zhiyan smiled and said.
"I will server Master with all of my heart. You know my goal and should be able to see the truth in my words, right?"
"Yes, that\'s why I even bothered saving you. You are a good child and as my master\'s motive, you deserve to have a good life. So as long as you serve him well, all of your problems will be solved."
Qing Zhiyan smiled even further hearing that and bowed again.
"Then I request Senior to tell me where I can find him?"
"That\'s another test for you. Although I am a servant, I don\'t want someone Master won\'t like to enter the sect. But, seeing your sincerity, I\'ll give you a hint. The survivors of Wind Flower Sect are with him as he had saved them."
"Survivors, Huh. I see, thanks for the information, Senior. I\'ll do my best to find Master and show him my worth."
"Sigh! You don\'t need to show your worth or anything. Master judges person on their personality and deeds, not on their strength and talent. Also, if you manage to find him then don\'t tell him about this. You\'ll meet me after entering his Sect so I\'ll tell you all the reasons and the answers to all the questions you have right now in your head."
Qing Zhiyan scratched the side of her ear in embarrassment and nodded. This was the first time she had to talk so openly and honestly, and it was certainly weird for her.
"That\'s all for now. Go outside and do what you need to do."
Qing Zhiyan nodded and before she could react, she was back in her body, gasping for breaths. She instantly collapsed on the ground and began to laugh even though she was exhausted.
"I won! I won the gamble. Finally, after so many years and tries, I\'m finally going to be safe."
She then turned towards Hastor and ordered him.
"I need you to change things here in this sect. Make it look like four Nascent Soul Realm had attacked the Sect. That way, even though the Four Major Sects wouldn\'t say anything, they would be suspicious of each other."
Hastor looked at her for a few seconds and then nodded. He didn\'t want to be a part of her scheme so it was better that he just do what he was ordered.
Qing Zhiyan looked at the sky, imagining those eyes again and still felt the fear. She sighed and said.
"Time for Gamble Number 2!"
