"Chief of Qin Palace, why did you come here?" Instructor Qi immediately rushed to escort him and asked attentively.
Qin Wushang laughed, but did not reply, and instead turned his gaze to Yun Che. After giving him one more time, he said, “Yun Che, you just said that you want to challenge Murong Yi three months later, is this true? If it is something you just said without thinking about the matter, it is still not too late to retract your words now.
With regards to Qin Wushang calling him by name, Yun Che was not surprised at all. He nodded and replied, “Of course it's real. Murong Yi also agreed. Since Palace Head Qin happens to also be here, I want to ask you to bear witness for us. Inside the Blue Wind Palace, I believe there is no one who has more authority than Palace Head Qin to bear witness.”
After the other new disciples learned of Qin Wushang's identity as the Palace Chief, most of them revealed respectful expressions, yet Yun Che's expression did not seem to change. His gaze was calm and his speech was neither condescending nor arrogant. "May Palace Head Qin coincidentally bear witness to us" this sentence was uttered in an incomparably natural tone, as if he was not speaking to the earth-shaking Palace Chief, who was not, but ordinary people passing by on the street. This kind of reaction made Qin Wushang feel a little surprised. He nodded with a laugh and said, “With the strength at the tenth level of the Nascent Realm, you are challenging the ninth level of the True Realm; this is the first time I have faced such an interesting problem for so many years in the Blue Wind Palace. Not bad, young man. You have courage and drive. If you're sure you're not playing around here, I'm willing to be your witness.
“Murong Yi, you also just agreed. About this, do you have any other questions? Qin Wushang asked Murong Yi.
Murong Yi laughed, but it was a very insulting laugh. He said respectfully, “Report to the Palace Chief, despite agreeing to this little rat challenge, but he injured my cousin first. After Sikong Du prevented me from acting for my cousin, he still came to me of his own volition to be harassed. I have no reason to disagree. And with the Palace Chief bearing his own testimony, I will not be afraid that he will retract his words after he is beaten to a sorry state!
"Very good." Qin Wushang nodded as he revealed a slight smile on his face, “It's done. The specified date is ten o'clock in the morning three months from now, and the location is here. At that time, I will be here personally. Yun Che, if you lose, you won't retaliate no matter how Murong Yi decides to punish you, and you also can't let anyone stand in his way. This is what you say personally. You can't go back on your word.
"Of course." Yun Che replied without hesitation. Then, he narrowed his eyes and looked at Murong Yi, saying, "But what if I win?"
"You won? Hahaha hahahaha!" Murong Yi laughed out loud and the audience also laughed out loud. For a new disciple to challenge Murong Yi of the Inner Palace..... and think of winning? This is arguably the biggest joke under the heavens.
Murong Yi laughed until he swayed and could not breathe for a long time. Only after a long laugh did he stutter in the middle of his laughter, “I, lose? HA HA HA HA…. I'm gonna lose? If I... lose, I will accept your punishment! Whatever you make me do, I'll do it. HAHAHAHAHA!”
"I don't need that." In front of his face filled with sneers, Yun Che also started laughing, "If you lose, I only want you to agree to three conditions, three conditions that you definitely cannot refuse, do you dare?"
"Brave! There is nothing I dare not do! Let alone three things, even if it were thirty things or three hundred things, I would still not agree to that." Murong Yi immediately shouted without hesitation. Rather than believing that Yun Che might be able to defeat him, he would rather believe that pigs could climb trees. But there was a hint of doubt in his heart; it was strange that the head of Qin Wushang Palace was interested in witnessing this kind of thing that did not care about him in the slightest. It was also completely meaningless, and was a challenge initiated by a fool.
“As Vice Palace Chief, I'd really like to see what you'll bring to fight Murong Yi after those three months. Murong Yi had always been training in the Inner Palace, so for the sake of justice in these three months, Yun Che, you don't need to report tomorrow. Within three months from tomorrow onwards, even though you are an official disciple of Biruku Wind Palace, you are not included in any of the three palaces, not Outer, Middle or Inner, you are not, but you can freely enter all three palaces, and you can also enjoy all the resources in the Inner Palace. The residence will also be arranged to be inside the Inner Palace.
As Qin Wushang said these words, other than Qin Wushang, everyone's jaws opened in shock. Even Yun Che was also very surprised…. Allowing a recently accepted disciple, who was only in the Nascent Realm, to enjoy all the resources within the Inner Palace; in the history of the Blue Wind Palace, this was definitely the first. It was something that not even the students who had just been accepted dared to dream of.
Qin Wushang ignored the reaction of the crowd and continued, “With this, you and Murong Yi will have the same state of training completely, and this will be considered fair to some extent. Three months later, if you win, you will replace Murong Yi in the Heavenly Rank, and will officially become an Inner Palace disciple. But if you lose, not only will you be expelled from the Inner Palace, you will also never be able to become an Inner Palace disciple afterward, even after your strength is satisfied. Yun Che, do you mind setting up like this?”
Qin Wushang's initial words were undoubtedly an enormous mercy to Yun Che, but the last few words added an extremely cruel condition. Thus, the dissatisfaction of the few people on Yun Che who were allowed to enter the Inner Palace was instantly eliminated. At the age of sixteen, Yun Che was an outstanding genius who had defeated a Middle Palace disciple. There must be a possibility for him to be able to enter the Inner Palace within a few years. But if he entered the Inner Palace now for three months and was then defeated, even if he had the right to enter the Inner Palace a few years later, it would be impossible to do so, he could only feel helpless and regret his past deeds.
Yun Che glanced at Qin Wushang and nodded, "Alright, I agree."
Yun Che understood, the special treatment he received must be related to Qin Wuyou. At the same time, it was also definitely related to Lan Xueruo.
To let the Vice Palace Head come alone for him and break a tradition that had never been broken before to allow him to enter the Inner Palace…. Yun Che was sure that even though Qin Wuyou was Qin Wushang's own brother, he still would not let Qin Wushang make such a decision. Then, the only explanation was Lan Xueruo.
What exactly was Lan Xueruo's identity and background…..
"It's…. Isn't this a bit inappropriate? For a lowly person like Yun Che, what right did he have to enter the Inner Palace? It's like letting a chicken enter a den of lions and wolves!” Murong Yi said as he furrowed his brows.
"Murong Yi, do you mind?" Qin Wushang guessed Murong Yi with an indifferent look. His voice was as calm as usual, but it contained a power that made one's heart beat fast.
