The Peerless Emperor

Chapter 120: Chapter 121 Complex and Obscure

“Gao Benli, can you get some shame, aside from groveling to Master, what else can you do?” Lin Qian had encountered the Elemental Weapon Armament and, with a curl of his lip, walked over.

After finishing his cultivation, Wei Wushuang also shook his head helplessly at Gao Benli: “You really are hopeless, you’ve learned nothing over the years, not even able to beat your junior brother, and still have the gall to shout at me.”

“I do remember clearly, back when you suppressed your power, you seemed to be unable to beat Lin Qian, right?”

“Hey, Master, if you’re going to talk, at least speak with some conscience. Back when I was training with junior brother, I didn’t just suppress my power, but I also couldn’t use the Elemental Weapon Armament. You know just how strong this kid’s physical body is.”

“I just didn’t expect, ah, that after all these years when I came back, this kid would actually…” Muttering to this point, Gao Benli turned around to look at Lin Qian, pointing at him and saying, “Junior brother, you’ve gotten too ridiculously strong, that’s overdoing it!”

Lin Qian shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands: “Blame me?”

“You…” Seeing Lin Qian’s attitude, Gao Benli covered his face and whined, “It was bad enough being bullied by others outside, but when I came back, you actually didn’t give a damn about brotherhood and broke all my Primordial Weapons.”

Saying so, Gao Benli rushed over to Lin Qian and hugged him, shouting loudly: “Cry out, my life is so hard!”

“Stop making a fuss, junior brother will get you some good stuff for your Elemental Weapon later, alright?” With Gao Benli’s crying and shouting in his ears, Lin Qian said helplessly.

Just as Lin Qian’s words fell, Gao Benli, who was still crying out, abruptly stopped, took a few steps back, and pointed at him seriously: “Are you for real?”

“For real, of course it’s real!”

“I’ve heard from Master that you got a lot of great stuff from a very powerful ruin. I want Class A Elemental Artifact Hearts and Elemental Components.”

“Nope, you’re dreaming.”

“B-level, that’s the minimum I’ll accept, or I won’t let go.”

“…Okay, okay, okay, no problem!”

Seeing Lin Qian agree, Gao Benli finally cheerfully let go of his junior brother’s leg and got up from the ground.

Then, Gao Benli snuggled up to Lin Qian with a grin: “Junior brother, since you’re giving away B-level Elemental Artifact Hearts and Elemental Components, how about some Soul Crystals for your brother? I’ve heard that in our Sect’s biggest city, Wanxiang City’s Chunhua Building, the girls are particularly enchanting, so how about…”

Taking a deep breath, Lin Qian turned his head to look at Wei Wushuang: “Master, can I beat this disgrace to the Sect to death?”

“Yes!”

“Junior brother, calm down, your brother was just joking with you. Look at you, you really don’t understand, lacking even this bit of sense.”

After all the fussing, Gao Benli took out a jade bottle and handed it over to Lin Qian: “This is the Divine Spring Pill, it can completely heal your friend Bai Ren’s leg. Originally, I shouldn’t have given away this pill. But now that you’re back, junior brother, it’s perfect to pass it through your hands.”

Lin Qian looked at the Divine Spring Pill in Gao Benli’s hand, knowing it was a B-level pill.

He also knew from Master Wei Wushuang that his senior brother’s situation outside the Coastal State wasn’t all that great.

For Soul Martial Artists below the Life and Death Realm, the Divine Spring Pill was akin to a Saint Medicine for healing, practically tantamount to having an extra life.@@novelbin@@

For his senior brother, the value of this medicine was considerable, amounting to half of Gao Benli’s fortune.

“But now that the other party is willing to take out this Pill, one can already see the sincerity of my senior brother.”

In fact, Lin Qian had lashed out so severely earlier partly because he was resentful. Why did his senior brother not restrain his sworn brother and followers?

But looking at the current situation, there might be other secrets involved.

“No need, I have already prepared a Pill for my friend; his legs are no longer a concern.” Lin Qian pushed the jade bottle back to Gao Benli. “You should keep this Pill for yourself, senior brother. However, your fifth younger brother Qian Lang, I’m afraid Bai Ren has already crippled him.”

“If senior brother wants to blame me, then blame yourself first for not being strict enough.”

After saying this, Lin Qian quietly watched the man in front of him, waiting for his response.

“Actually, if you had killed him outright, I would have had no objections.” Gao Benli gave an unexpected answer to his junior brother’s interrogation.

However, hearing Gao Benli’s reply, Lin Qian internally breathed a sigh of relief.

Gao Benli encountered Wei Wushuang shortly after leaving Coastal State and became his disciple.

In fact, Gao Benli had secretly returned for a time when he knew that Wei Wushuang brought Lin Qian to Wanxiang Sect, and no one else was aware of it.

At that time, the mentor and apprentice recognized each other.

In Lin Qian’s memory, Gao Benli, when not being serious, radiated an air of silliness and had a particular fondness for beauties.

However, Lin Qian also deeply understood that his senior brother was fundamentally very kind at heart.

Therefore, after coming back this time and knowing that Gao Benli’s sworn brothers and followers were committing misdeeds without his senior brother taking action, Lin Qian was somewhat puzzled.

Now Lin Qian realized there must be a hidden story; otherwise, senior brother Gao Benli would never have given such a response.

“Actually, letting them act outrageously was intentional on my part. I wanted them to anger the disciples of Wanxiang Sect until they couldn’t bear it anymore and killed them all.”

“I also wanted to act personally, but I couldn’t. Once I did kill them, those spying on me from behind would certainly become aware!”

“However, I did not anticipate that the disciples of Wanxiang Sect, even the True Disciples, would be unable to defeat them. I had to lock away a few good prospects like Ding Zhirong to prevent Qian Long and others from taking action.”

Hearing this, Lin Qian vaguely understood that there must be secrets surrounding Gao Benli.

“So, the four brothers Qian Long and the others aren’t truly your sworn brothers, but are specifically placed by your side to monitor you?”

After Lin Qian finished his question, Gao Benli nodded gravely, then turned to look at Wei Wushuang, “And, the person who sent them is the same one who previously plotted against our master with poison.”

“If I’m not mistaken, their purpose in following me is not only to surveil but also to see if the master really died.”

“I thought the master had truly died when I was returning, but unexpectedly, you managed to heal him,” Gao Benli continued.

Lin Qian pondered silently, frowning as he looked at Gao Benli: “There’s another thing, regarding your grandfather, what is really going on? Why would he agree to reconcile with Shengtian Sect and even become subordinate to them?”

“My grandfather, something feels off about him,” Gao Benli also said with a gloomy expression, speaking softly, “I always feel that the vibe he gives me is very chilling.”

Lin Qian’s expression was grave; the situation was becoming increasingly complicated.
