Turns out I'm a Great Cultivator
Chapter 571: A Very Narrow Perspective
Early the next day, graceful zither music flowed out from the Demonic City, causing the clouds to spin and gather boundless Spiritual Qi which immediately rained down.
All the demons in the city carefully gathered around the palace as if they were summoned by music, each waiting patiently at their place, listening to music with their eyes closed.
Waves of overbearing energy surged from their bodies, and with the rhythm of their breathing, it created a vortex of Spiritual Qi that was absorbed from the sky.
If they were unaware of the taboo of the expert, if Daji and Fire Phoenix had not warned them beforehand, they would definitely not be able to control their hot-blooded nature and go crazy. This should be avoided at all costs to keep the peace under the heavens.
This is a sudden breakthrough. Under the zither sound, every demon in the city became extremely active, as if with every play of the tone, their demon spirits would increase. What was previously an unbreakable obstacle had now been smashed into pieces as easily as squeezing a piece of paper.
Upon waking up, they were greeted with this shock, causing them to jump in excitement. The music slowly faded and disappointment flashed in the devil's eyes. They looked at the palace with deep respect.
That expert might guide the learning waiter and the new music waiter. Even a simple lake can be an opportunity for all of them to achieve enlightenment. How blessed are they to be able to stay on the expert side? Qin Manyun and Shi Tuqin should have danced happily.
But they did not dare to voice their thoughts out loud. Despite hoping to be in his position, they did not dare to succumb to jealousy since both of them had become followers of the expert. The rest have no right to be jealous. Their energy would be better spent thinking about how they could get closer to the expert.
At the palace, Li Nianfan stopped his play and placed his hand on the zither. He looked at Qin Manyun and said, “I will only demonstrate this once. Song title ‘Guangling San’. Listening to it can calm one's heart. It is very easy to play it.”
‘How is this easy?’ qin Manyun asked. He tightly pressed his lips and his eyes trembled slightly. “Don't worry, Mr Li! I will definitely work hard!” he said with determination.
He wondered when he could reach the same level as his experts. If it happened one day.It made him goosebumps just by thinking about it.
Li Nianfan's smile showed that he believed in Qin Manyun because he already knew his basic foundation. Plus, he really likes to play music, so of course, he can develop quickly. He looked forward to the day when he could cheer her up with his music.
As for Shi Tuqin …
Li Nianfan looked in the direction where he was. It probably had something to do with him having claws for hands which made him unsuitable for holding calligraphy brushes. It makes the writing very ugly.
Sometimes, a piece of paper can be wasted for simple practice. Li Nianfan felt his nerves hit and regretted taking him in.
Meanwhile, outside of Demon City, two old men landed with their Merit Clouds near the city wall. There were two demons who had yet to complete their transformation by their side. One looked like a red bear with golden scales on its neck and the other looked like a wolf with one horn on its head that crackled with electricity.
The Unicorn wolf sniffed the ground and air. His eyes suddenly glittered. “The young princess is not far from here. He should have been inside Demon City!”
The two old man's eyes flashed simultaneously. Then, one of them asked curiously, “Isn't Qin captured by the Ministry? Why is he here?”
“No matter what, we need to make sure he is safe and find out the situation before doing anything!” say the other seriously.
The two of them took a deep breath at the same time and increased their Merit Clouds speed towards Demon City.
The closer they were to the center, the more confused they were. They reminded themselves to be more careful because they could feel many demonic spirits gathering there. It was not just the amount that made them cautious but their level of strength, with some of them strong enough to make them feel threatened.
The most shocking thing to them was the rest of the Insights swirling in the sky. It was truly incredible, to the point that they began to doubt if they were wrong.
“Brother Zhou, something is going on in Demon City. How could it change so much in such a short time?”
“Yes, I instructed my followers to do a stakeout here before. How did it evolve to such a large scale? I'm afraid the Demon King isn't something we should take lightly.”
The Legendary Beast Sect naturally had a close bond, a special relationship, with demons. That is, they do not see each side as their enemy. Instead, they were willing to coexist peacefully. This had the added benefit of making it easier for the sect to find a suitable demon for their disciples. Therefore, it was normal for them to send someone to scout around Demon City.
But it seemed like Demonic City had just undergone some major changes. They exuded their intention to come in peace as they approached the main gate. The two Demon Forest Pigs noticed them and greeted them with a group of low-level demons.
“Please, mention your official affairs to come here,” he said seriously.
At this moment, all the demons in the city refrained from causing trouble and swore they would protect the stability of the city. They had even taken the initiative to patrol around the city to make sure no one would disturb the expert. It was an unspoken covenant and was done without orders from the Demon King.
Elder Zhou put his hands together to greet. “Brother, we are both elders of the Legendary Beast Sect. We're here to find someone.”
The Wild Boar Demon had a premonition of who they were looking for. “And does this guy have a name?” he asked rudely.
“Yes, Shi Tuqin, my follower!” Elder Zhou did not dare to cause any offense. “He was unfortunately arrested by the Ministry. We don't know where he is now, but we have followed his scent here, ”obviously be polite.
“Oh, that's him.” The Wild Pig Demon smiled understandingly. “Yes, he's here in Demon City. He was saved by our Demon King.”
“That's great!” The two old men leaped in excitement, their wrinkled faces growing furrowed. “We owe you a thank you to your Demon Lord. Can you send word of our arrival so we can thank them directly? ”
Shi Tuqin was not only a princess of the Legendary Beast Sect, she was also their most talented practitioner in decades. Even his demon bound — White Tiger Sky Wing — is rare. He was trained as the future ruler of the Legendary Beast Sect, his future was very bright.
The ministry was notorious for their evil deeds, so when Shi Tuqin was captured, it was a huge blow to the Legendary Beast Sect. Now that they knew for sure he was safe and sound, they felt relieved.
“You want to meet the expert?” The Demon Forest Pig shook his head. “I'm worried it's impossible.”
They will never let Tom,***, or Harry meet his experts.
Without waiting for their answer, Demon Wild Boar continued saying, “But I can ask Goddess Shi Tuqin to come here.”
“Yes, it's okay with us. Please, do, ” said the two old men quickly.
After some time, the Demon Forest Pig returned with Shi Tuqin. Tears shot out from Shi Tuqin's eyes as he looked at the two old men.
“Grandfather Zhou, Grandpa Xu!”
“What... You..”.
Shi Tuqin looked at his white tiger claws and in a low voice, he said, “Little White is dead ..”
They did not need elaboration because they had already guessed what happened. Their hearts are drowning in sadness.
“You poor. You must have been through so much. I'm so sorry I wasn't there to protect you,” Elder Zhou said in a hoarse voice.
Elder Xu was furious, anger dyed his face red and his hair was raised vertically. He had nowhere to vent his anger. “That stupid ministry! I, Xu Zixiao, will make them pay for this. They better pray that we never cross paths! Come back with us, Qin! I'll find a way to cure you.”
Elder Zhou nodded. “Yes, Qin. The past is the past. Come back with us. There must be a path.”
Their eyes were filled with compassion and sorrow. Their understanding of how deep the bond Shi Tuqin had with Little White made them difficult to comfort her.
Shi Tuqin shook his head and gently stroked his claws. “Grandfather Zhou, Grandpa Xu, I'm fine.”
“Good. As long as you are okay.” The two old men breathed a sigh of relief.
“I won't be back with all of you. I have decided to study calligraphy!”
“Calligraphy?” The two old men were dumbfounded. Elder Xu's eyes were as wide as a plate. “Qin, what can be learned about calligraphy? Are you not throwing away your talent? Come back with us and I promise to find the rarest demon to be your new demon!”
“Omong empty!” said the Demon Forest Pig who had been eavesdropping since the beginning. He couldn't help but a sudden exclamation when he heard the old man looking down at the expert calligraphy. “How dare an old man like you underestimate calligraphy? You make me laugh.”
Having the opportunity to learn calligraphy from an expert is the same as being named as ‘the chosen’ in Chaos. Anyone would jump at the chance. The Demon Wild Boar was a fan of Li Nianfan, therefore he would not tolerate anyone looking down on him.
Elder Xu was offended. “How dare a low-level Demon Forest Pig talk to us like this? How can you compare calligraphy to the training of our Legendary Beast Sect? Even ignorance has its limits!”
The boar demon became even more arrogant. “I'm sure you don't even know what calligraphy is, old man. You're not even worth talking to me.” He really felt that way because he had seen Li Nianfan's calligraphy.
Elder Xu felt as if he was talking to a wall. He beat his chest and shouted, “Stupid! You stupid pig!”
He was about to continue but was stopped by Elder Zhou. “Shut!”
Elder Zhou looked at Shi Tuqin and asked gently, “Qin, do you really want to learn calligraphy?”
Shi Tuqin nodded and bowed deeply at the two old men. “Thank you for everything you have done for me, my two beloved grandfathers. Please, pass this message to my father from now on, calligraphy is the only thing I will focus on. Please, don't send anyone to come for me. Thank you.”
“Qin, no need to thank us. After all we are family.” Elder Zhou felt his nose turn red. The young Qin who used to follow him was now an adult. If possible, she wished she didn't have to grow up so she could be a carefree child forever. “Do not worry, I will support any decision you make. Studying hard. I'll tell your father about the situation. ”
“OK, I have to get back to my practice now. Goodbye, Grandpa Zhou and Grandpa Xu!”
Shi Tuqin did not want to waste time, so he quickly rushed back after telling them he was safe.
Seeing him getting smaller, Elder Zhou and Elder Xu were filled with sadness and nostalgia.
“Brother Zhou, what are you doing? How could you agree to his request so easily? ” ask Elder Xu.
Elder Zhou glanced at him from the corner of his eyes. “You really need to learn how to control your anger. Qin has been through a lot. It was astonishing that he could still function normally. Calligraphy can calm the mind and strengthen the heart. That must be the reason he was eager to learn it. We shouldn't force him to come back with us now. We should be grateful he survived.”
Elder Xu sighed. ‘That stupid ministry! I'll make them pay!’ thought to himself.
Elder Zhou turned his gaze to the Wild Boar Demon. His eyes became a little brighter. “By the way, you look like a good demon. Why don't you join our Legendary Beast Sect?
“Join with your sect?” He laughed out loud. “What makes you think I want to join your sect? Why don't you go back to where you came from and stop bothering me? I will never join your sect unless something goes wrong with my brain. ”
“Do you really think there is nothing wrong with your brain?” reply to the raging elder Xu. “The Legendary Beast Sect has inherited a great power, a power so great that you cannot even comprehend it. Not to mention, our mastery is suitable for the demons to grow with our monks. Isn't that a hundred times—not— a thousand times better than being a guard in Demon City? It doesn't take much brainpower to know which option is better!”
“Application ‘ignorance is bliss’ is clearly made for you.” The eyes of the Wild Boar Demon knew, as if it contained all the knowledge of the universe. “Even being a low-level demon here will reap more benefits than joining your stupid Legendary Beast Sect! Moreover, I am the captain of the guards here. ”
“Captain we are right! We will never join the Legendary Beast Sect even if you beg us!”
“Only those who know who will understand!”
“I'd rather be a pig in Demon City than be the king of the Legendary Beast Sect!”
The Wild Boar Demon puffed up with arrogance in beating up low-level demons.
Elder Xu would go mad with anger. His worldview has been challenged. He pointed his trembling finger at them and said, “Who is a fool here? A bunch of narrow-minded fools. Too bad there is no cure for stupidity!”
“Quiet, Brother Xu!” Elder Zhou pulled him away and used the Secret Voice Delivery Method to remind him. “Why do you bother talking to some lowly demons? Remember, don't fight a madman with a madman.”
Elder Xu took a deep breath to calm himself down. “You're right. We're not on the same level, so it's only natural that we see things differently. Why should I argue with them?”
“Don't come crying to me when you change your mind,” Elder Xu said to the group before leaving. “You will forever be a pig guarding the door at your level!”
“What do you know? I am proud to be a guard! In fact, I would die happy if I could do this forever!”
