Chapter 17: Worthy of The Protagonist's Title:

Men were regarded as inferior to women in the Holy Maiden Sect, where yin flourished and yang declined.

Not to mention the outsider Qin Lu.

Everyone knows his name since he was brought back by Ye Qingcheng and lived with her on Wuchen Peak.

One should know that the twelve sub-division peaks were inhabited by the Holy Maiden Sect's top experts and their families.

Ye Qingcheng usually remained by herself.

But, since Qin Lu lived on Wuchen Peak with Ye Qingcheng, he attracted many people's attention.

Seriously, if Xiao Yichen hadn't said that Qin Lu was Ye Qingcheng's cousin, everyone would think that she was hiding a man on Wuchen Peak.

This was also the reason Qin Lu was so popular.

Immediately after Ye Qingcheng brought Qin Lu, she pleaded with Elder Sun Siyao to save him. Later, she took him to Wuchen Peak to recover.

The reason Ye Qingcheng brought Qin Lu to her residence was because she worried her sect would recognize him as a devil disciple.

However, she didn't expect to be bumped into by Xiao Yichen shortly after she brought Qin Lu to her home, causing Xiao Yichen to misunderstand her.

Today, Xiao Yichen suddenly came over and mentioned Qin Lu, which made her smell the gunpowder.

"Senior Brother Yichen, why are you doing this?"

"Junior Sister, I had a small agreement with your cousin before."

"Agreement, what agreement?" Ye Qingcheng froze. Her gaze suddenly shifted toward Qin Lu among the crowd.

At that moment, only Qin Lu slowly walked out.

"Actually, it's not much of an agreement. Three days ago, Senior Brother Xiao didn't know whether he had eaten the wrong pills or had a screw loose, but he asked me to have a fair duel with him here today"

"...I didn't even agree with him, but he left."

"A fair duel? Senior Brother Xiao, your cultivation base is much higher than Qin Lu. What makes it a fair duel?"

"Junior Sister Qingcheng, you don't need to worry about this matter. It's only sparing, don't get in the way!"

"Senior brother Yichen, you..."

Ye Qingcheng still wanted to say something, but Sun Siyao, who was on the side, interrupted her.

"Qingcheng, he should spar with his nephew Yichen, so that he can make progress!"

"Elder..."

Ye Qingcheng still wanted to stop it, but the Holy Maiden Sect's disciples below yelled for them to compete.

After all, Qin Lu lived on Wuchen Peak during this period, and many were jealous.

They didn't bother with Qin Lu because they didn't want to offend Ye Qingcheng.

Now that Xiao Yichen had taken the initiative, they supported him a hundredfold.

Looking at those disciples who supported the protagonist, Qin Lu was helpless.

The protagonist was really 'a man of justice'!

On the hand, he, the minor villain, would be treated as cannon fodder!

"Since Senior Brother Xiao wants to spare so much, let's do it!"

"Qingcheng, let me borrow your spiritual sword."

Seeing Qin Lu looking for her to borrow her sword, Ye Qingcheng didn't say anything. Instead, she waved her hand, and her long spiritual sword flew directly toward Qin Lu.




Swoosh~




Qin Lu grabbed the sword sent by Ye Qingcheng in his hand and gently smelt it.

"Wow, it's indeed the sword Qingcheng had held. It still carries her scent! Just one sniff and my spirit has already doubled!"

When Qin Lu said this, Ye Qingcheng, sitting on her head, couldn't hold her face.

This guy was too shameless.

But when these words fell on Xiao Yichen, they were extremely harsh to the ears, and his heart was filled with rage.

He immediately took out a long spear. His body emanated spiritual Qi, pressing Qin Lu directly with his powerful aura.

Feeling Xiao Yichen's aura, Qin Lu smiled faintly. He channeled his spiritual Qi into the long sword, directly manifesting the first sword technique of the Nine Swords of Heaven.

At first, everyone thought Qin Lu's sword technique wasn't impressive.

But, the powerful sword intent instantly pierced Xiao Yichen's aura and struck his body.

Seeing Qin Lu's sword, Xiao Yichen hurriedly activated the spiritual Qi and thrust his spear forward, wanting to block it.

However, as soon as the tip of his spear met Qin Lu's sword, a powerful force immediately shook his spear.

Xiao Yichen also retreated a dozen feet before regaining his balance.

Everyone was shocked at the tremendous impact of Qin Lu's sword.

Even Ye Qingcheng, the most familiar with Qin Lu, was shocked.

She would have undoubtedly died if Qin Lu had used such a sword technique on her back in the Demon Sect Brach.

Could he really like her, as her elder said, so he couldn't bear to kill her?

Was it because he liked her that he sacrificed his life to save her?

However, he was a devil cultivator, and virtue and evil weren't two sides of the same coin; how could he possibly like her?

In an instant, Ye Qingcheng's heart was in disarray again.

She clearly had stronger cultivation than Qin Lu. However, she didn't feel sure enough to intercept one of his attacks.

Xiao Yichen attempted to show himself to Ye Qingcheng, but in the end, he was slapped in the face... No, he couldn't lose today's duel, no matter what.

Thinking of these, Xiao Yichen's face immediately darkened.

He clenched his fists, and powerful force surged from within his body.

Soon, Xiao Yichen's aura instantly advanced from the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm to the late-stage Golden Core realm.

A blue-colored flame burst from his body, giving an extremely unsettling feeling.

F*ck! He went beyond the limit, worthy of the protagonist's title.
