Chapter 91: Confidence is the Peak
When He Youzhou and Lin Qingxue left the inn, the people inside looked at them with very subtle expressions.
These people knew very well what would happen if they displeased the two princesses.
The two princesses might not give any orders, but their attendants would act on their own judgment.
In this way, no matter what happened, it wouldn’t dirty the princesses’ hands.
“Senior, why did you argue with those two princesses?” Lin Qingxue asked helplessly, following behind He Youzhou.
“Who knows?” He Youzhou shrugged. He had no idea why that girl got upset after being looked at a few times.
“Instead of worrying about that, why don’t you think about what you want to eat later?” He said lazily.
He didn’t take the conflict with the princesses to heart at all.
“I don’t eat at night,” Lin Qingxue shook her head. She didn’t come out with He Youzhou for a late-night snack.
“Then why did you come out with me? You’re really strange.” He Youzhou looked at Lin Qingxue in surprise and said.
Lin Qingxue’s expression stiffened. She never expected to be called strange by He Youzhou.
“I just came out to buy something. I still have important things to do when I get back.” He Youzhou said seriously.
Zhishi made him many pancakes, but those were not snacks, they were main meals!
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have come out specifically to find a late-night snack to accompany his manga. He wanted to have barbecue.
“Senior, do you have important things to do at the inn?” Lin Qingxue was stunned.
Even the senior said it was very important, so it must be something on the same level as the malicious intent of the Heavenly Dao.
After all, she really couldn’t think of anything else in the world that would make such a powerful cultivator say it was important.
Unexpectedly, this senior, even when traveling, always had the world’s people in his heart.
Lin Qingxue’s admiration for He Youzhou couldn’t help but rise a few more levels.
Those who have the world in their hearts are called heroes.
While Lin Qingxue was still pondering what serious things He Youzhou was doing in the room, several people surrounded her and He Youzhou.
Lin Qingxue, who had lost her cultivation, naturally didn’t know that these people had been following her all along.
However, He Youzhou had long known that someone was sneaking around him,
But he had no idea what these people were planning to do. In his divine sense, these guys were jumping from the left roof to the right roof like monkeys, then changing their positions back and forth.
What are they doing? A circus act? But no one could see them, right?
It wasn’t until these people jumped out one by one that He Youzhou suddenly realized—they wanted to surround him.
“You will apologize to Her Highness the Princess tomorrow and slap yourselves.” One of the princess’s attendants said expressionlessly.
They had long investigated He Youzhou and Lin Qingxue’s cultivation levels. One was only at the Foundation Establishment stage, and the other was just an ordinary person.
As royal attendants, each of them had the strength of the Core Formation stage. In Wolf City, they were not invincible, but at least they could walk sideways.
With them around, even if the lord of Wolf City wanted to rebel, they could safely escort the two princesses out of Wolf City.
After all, the deputy general of Wolf City was only at the Core Formation stage, and the only one who could pose a threat to them was General Wolf himself.
Several attendants released their pressure, intending to overpower them.
The moment the pressure was released, Lin Qingxue felt dizzy and almost instinctively felt fear.
“Senior…” Lin Qingxue bit her lip. Without any cultivation, she could only be a burden to the senior.
“Resisting pressure is not about cultivation, Qingxue.” He Youzhou glanced at the almost unsteady Lin Qingxue. “It’s about confidence.”
“Confidence?” Lin Qingxue, supported by He Youzhou’s hand, looked at He Youzhou, who was unaffected.
“That’s right, those who are confident are always at the peak.” He Youzhou said.
He was now resisting the pressure of these Core Formation stage cultivators without any help from the sword spirit.
For He Youzhou, who had once stepped half a foot into the Nascent Soul stage, any pressure was just a fleeting cloud.
“Moreover, no matter how strong the pressure is, can it compare to the malice of the Heavenly Dao that you’ve seen?” He Youzhou said.
Lin Qingxue was stunned for a moment, then recalled the scene of encountering the malice of the Heavenly Dao that day.
Compared to that, this was like a small witch meeting a great witch.
“I didn’t want to make a move originally, but it seems that I have no choice now.” The princess’s attendant, who was in the Foundation Establishment stage, felt it was very disgraceful to bully a newcomer in the Qi Refining stage. But now that the pressure was useless, they had no choice but to act.
However, it was impossible for them to attack together. If several Foundation Establishment stage cultivators ganged up on one Qi Refining stage cultivator, it would be utterly disgraceful if word got out.
Foundation Establishment stage was not a common cultivation level; it was enough to become the head of a small sect.
There were five attendants in total. They exchanged glances and seemed to reach a consensus.
One of the attendants instantly made a move, his five fingers clawing towards He Youzhou’s Qi Sea, aiming to cripple him.
He Youzhou raised an eyebrow, sensing the opponent’s intention.
“Qingxue, for… cough cough… senior, I want to tell you how a sword cultivator should walk the path.” He Youzhou held the unsheathed iron sword in his hand.
“If you claim to be a sword cultivator, then you should focus all your attention on the sword.”
“Nothing else matters.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he directly used the scabbard to break the attacking attendant’s hand.
The spiritual energy shield of the Foundation Establishment stage was as fragile as paper in front of the iron sword, easily shattered.
“Also, Tianyan Sect never retaliates tooth for tooth, eye for eye,” He Youzhou said indifferently, looking at the attendant. “Because when the teeth are broken and the eyes are gouged out, it’s already too late.”
“We are fundamentally different from the Qing Shan Sect you were in before.”
“Tianyan Sect is truly not a righteous sect.”
When He Youzhou broke the attendant’s wrist, the others hadn’t realized what had happened. After all, no one believed that a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator could be crippled by a single move from a Qi Refining stage cultivator.
He reversed his grip on the iron sword and struck the enemy in front of him with the hilt.
He didn’t use the sword tip because he didn’t intend to kill the opponent.
If He Youzhou had killing intent, he would have demonstrated what it meant to “kill with an unsheathed sword.”
The hilt landed on the attendant’s Qi Sea, light and silent.
To outsiders, it seemed as if nothing had happened, but the struck attendant knew what had occurred.
“My Qi Sea… my Qi Sea!!” The attendant clutched his Qi Sea in horror.
He had intended to shatter He Youzhou’s Qi Sea, but instead, his own Qi Sea was shattered.
“Attack!” The other attendants realized something was wrong and stopped standing by idly.
But perhaps, standing by idly was their best choice.
