Chapter Thirty-Seven Who Schemes Against Whom
Liu Yan!
The emergence of this name completely changed the atmosphere in the field.
Those who didn't know the name showed a few hints of confusion, but those who knew it were deeply shocked. Qin Hong and Zhou Bo were disciples of the Jianzong Sect, but they also knew that Yunhai Zong's inner disciple was a genius, relying on his own status in Yunhai Zong to obtain a position comparable to that of a core disciple, truly a stunning talent.
Even Yun Shaoyang, the terrifying young master of the Yun family, shrank his pupils when he heard the name Liu Yan. His footstep that was about to move forward stopped, and his hand also withdrew. The two guards who were originally coordinating with Yun Shaoyang to release an intimidating aura also retracted their own auras.
Just one name is enough to intimidate everyone, and that is Liu Yan.
"This way, I really owe Liu Yan a favor." Qin Yong secretly curled his lips, using this token was purely out of helplessness, he was currently too weak, and today's events made Qin Yong even more eager to become stronger. He himself had a kind of "borrowing the tiger's might" feeling.
"How did you get Elder Sister Liu Yan's token!" Yun Shaoyang glared at Qin Yong, sternly questioning him, but also didn't dare to make another move.
"Liu Yan Shijie had something to entrust me with, this time when we went out, because she was worried about accidents, Liu Yan Shijie specially lent me the token, so that I can avoid all unnecessary troubles." Qin Yong said, but in fact, he borrowed the token just to intimidate Zhou Bo and others, however, Qin Yong wouldn't be foolish enough to say it out loud.
When speaking, Qin Yong glanced at Qin Hong and Zhou Bo without leaving any traces. As expected, he saw that both of them showed a shocked expression, although they quickly covered it up, but the surprise in their eyes couldn't be dispersed. Even Yun Shaoyang was frightened, let alone these two people. Seeing this, Qin Yong felt relieved, which meant that these two people would not use any other means, at least not any strong measures again.
"You're just a miscellaneous disciple, how could you possibly have any connection with Master Lian's sister!" Yun Shaoyang still refused to believe it, staring fixedly at Qin Yong.
As for the young servant beside Yun Shaoyang, he was already pale with fear and didn't dare to speak. The two guards were slightly better, but they also didn't dare to use their imposing manner to intimidate others anymore. Liu Yan's presence was like a great mountain, making them feel suffocated.
In terms of status, Liu Yan is an inner door genius, comparable to a core disciple. Even if she were to be taken in as a disciple by the elder, it wouldn't be enough to make Yun Shaoyang so fearful. But what's more, Liu Yan is not only a genius but also a stunning beauty, with countless suitors within the Cloud Sea Sect, and is the female idol in the hearts of the disciples. Even among the core disciples, there are many who pursue Liu Yan, including Yun Shaoyang's older brother, Yun Tianzong.
Yun Tianzong, a man as his name suggests, is a genius nurtured by the heavens. He is only a few years older than Yun Shaoyang, who is now barely thirty years old, which is considered young in the world of martial arts. However, his strength has already entered the Earthly Realm, making him a true and exceptional core disciple. Yun Shaoyang is favored in the Yun family, but his status is far inferior to that of Yun Tianzong. The reason he can get away with this is partly because he is Yun Tianzong's younger brother, and Yun Shaoyang also knows that Yun Tianzong is pursuing Liu Meng, who is absolutely someone he cannot afford to provoke.
"It seems you've been away for years and haven't returned to Yunhai Sect, otherwise you absolutely wouldn't be unaware." Qin Yong didn't answer directly, but instead let out a light laugh.
However, it was this vague feeling that made Yun Shaoyang's heart skip a beat. Yun Shaoyang had indeed been away from the Yunhai Sect for many years and hadn't returned. He was originally a spoiled rich kid who couldn't stand the dull life of cultivation, and his innate talent wasn't high either. No one had high expectations of him, which made Yun Shaoyang even more self-abandoned and indulgent in wine and women.
Such a person, even with the status of an outer sect disciple and the background of the Yun family, would be secretly despised by others when returning to the Yunhai Sect. Moreover, within the Yunhai Sect, life was all about cultivation and missions, which wasn't something that Yun Shaoyang enjoyed. Therefore, he simply played outside, relying on his status as an outer sect disciple of the Yunhai Sect and a member of the Yun family, as well as being Cloud Tianzong's younger brother, no one dared to resist him.
"Alright, since you have Master Liu Yan's token, this time I'll give face to Master Liu Yan. Let's go!" Yun Shaoyang's face was gloomy, his heart burning with anger, but he had no choice but to compromise. He let out a low growl and quickly left with his attendants and guards, continuing to stay would only be humiliating.
Everyone was stunned by this situation, and even Qin Hong and Zhou Bo were beyond their expectations. They knew how formidable Liu Yan was, but they thought that Yun Shaoyang had the backing of the Yun family and wouldn't be afraid of Liu Yan, let alone just a token. Who would have thought that Yun Shaoyang would leave so abruptly? In fact, only a few people within the Yunhai Sect knew about Yun Tianzong's pursuit of Liu Yan, and Yun Shaoyang, as Yun Tianzong's younger brother, was one of them, which is why he didn't dare to make any reckless moves.
"I didn't expect that Qin Yong, you actually have a relationship with Liu Yan Shizi. It seems that brother has underestimated you. From now on, Qin Yong, you will rise to prominence and won't be stuck as a miscellaneous disciple. It's not impossible that soon you'll be able to sit at the same table as us." Qin Hong said with a smile.
Qin Yong heard this and secretly curled his lip, sneering in his heart. Qin Hong seemed to be flattering and getting along, but actually he was still putting himself too high. In the future, he would only be able to sit with them on an equal footing? Hehe, Qin Hong had never been Qin Yong's goal. A simple sentence, Qin Hong wasn't even qualified.
Zhou Bo and Qin Tianhu also came forward to say a few good words, but seeing Qin Yong's indifferent response, they didn't intend to continue the conversation, so they gave up. It wasn't until they saw Qin Yong leave with Qin Yu that the three of them couldn't help but smile disdainfully.
Even if you have the token of Master Liu Yan, it can only be used to show off on the surface. After all, the token does not represent Master Liu Yan herself. In private, anyone can make a move as long as they don't leave any evidence, and even if they do, it doesn't matter as long as they don't let Master Liu Yan lose face. With Yun Shaoyang's personality, he wouldn't compromise like this. Qin Hong, Zhou Bo, and Qin Tiantu all ridiculed Qin Yong's naivety, indeed having never seen the world.
"Yun Shaoyang is a real scoundrel, I'm afraid he won't really count. On the surface, we have to give face to Liu Yan shi jie, but in secret, we can make a move. However, at that time, it will be my opportunity instead. Yun Shaoyang fears crowds, and what about me? If Yun Shaoyang really sends someone to make a sneak attack, then it will be my chance to seize the opportunity and take control of the situation!" Qin Yong thought to himself.
Killing is always the best way to seize the opportunity, and Qin Yong has never done so until now. Qin Yong won't kill people indiscriminately, but those who want to lay hands on him have no reason to be spared. Today, Qin Yong didn't use his Qi Yun token to keep Cloud Shaoyang's thoughts at bay, only because he was hesitant due to the large number of people and didn't want to make a move, so he took out Liu Yan's token instead. And if Cloud Shaoyang is not willing to give up, sending someone to make a sneak attack will definitely choose a place with few or no people, leaving no trace, which is also Qin Yong's chance to counterattack.
Everyone thought Qin Yong was naive and even childish, but who was actually outsmarting whom, only Qin Yong knew.
