Chapter 160
"What do you think of the pill, Matriarch?" Elder Deng asked for his opinion. "How does it compare to a high-quality pill?"
“This is without a doubt a pill with 100% quality – pills of perfect quality.” Matriarch Zhu's arm trembled as it held the bottle. "As for the power of the pill .. unless I try it myself, I won't be able to compare the two."
"But this pill ...even with this seal in the bottle, I can still smell the fresh scent emanating from it."
Elder Deng sighed, "Just who is this young man …? He's full of surprising abilities and secrets that we can't understand."
"…"
Matriarch Zhu did not answer him and remained silent. Although he was quite well known to Su Yang as the son of Immortal Fairy Su Yue, it was still hard to believe.
"Where is Immortal Fairy Su Yue now? Why did his son suddenly appear? Is this related to the appearance of the Ghost Girl?" he wonders to himself.
"Umm ..." Qing Shan silently stood there while Matriarch Zhu held the Advanced Spirit Refreshment Pill tightly in her grasp, seemingly unwilling to let it go. Even though he had already prepared for such an outcome before, he was still afraid that Matriarch would try to take this precious pill from him, and her heart would definitely bleed if that happened.
"Hmm?" Matriarch Zhu noticed the way Qing Shan looked at him nervously and smiled, "Silence, Qing Shan. I won't lie and say I don't want this pill to myself – actually, I actually did it – but I'll not bend as low as stealing it from my own students. "
He said, handing the bottle to him.
Qing Shan sighed in relief inwardly after holding the pill in his hand again.
Matriarch Zhu then continued, "Although I won't take this pill from you for nothing, I don't plan on doing anything either. I had a lot of offers in my mind that I wanted to trade these pills, so why wouldn't we sit down and talk about it? "
Hearing his words, Qing Shan showed him an apologetic smile, and said, "Sorry, Matriarch, but I have no intention of giving this pill to anything – no matter what."
"…"
Matriarch Zhu fell silent, as did Elder Deng. They understood his feelings perfectly. If they wore their shoes, they would also say the same no matter from whom the offer came.
“Very regrettable, but I fully understand.” Matriarch Zhu shook her head, feeling sad. "Make sure to keep the pill safe – even if it costs your life!"
"I will!" Qing Shan did not need Matriarch Zhu to tell him that, as he would do so even without her words.
Matriarch Zhu and Elder Deng left a little later.
"What should we do with him now?" Elder Deng asked him.
"You just need to focus on your part. I have a mind of my own."
"… Yes, Matriarch." Elder Deng did not speak anymore.
Elder Deng and Matriarch Zhu walked apart a moment later.
Some time later, after a quick detour around the Sect, looking like he was looking for someone, Matriarch Zhu summoned several Core Disciples to meet him.
"Murid Lin greeted Matriarch!"
"Murid Pan greeted Sect Master!"
The three Core Disciples stood in front of Matriarch Zhu with their bodies bent and faces full of respect.
"Where did he go?" Matriarch Zhu suddenly said, "There's no record of him leaving the Sect, yet I don't feel his presence in the Sect."
"…"
The three disciples immediately started smiling with bitter expressions. They knew exactly who Matriarch was talking about even though no names were mentioned.
"And don't even try to hide it from me. Even if you're Core Disciples, I'll punish you for lying in front of my face."
"…"
The three Core Disciples exchanged glances overpowering each other, before one of them opened their mouths to speak, "Although I don't know why, senior apprentice-Zhu brother went to the Sacred Sword Academy to meet their Master Disciple after receiving some sort of message from him, and it seemed like it was an emergency, seeing how he left in a hurry. "
"Holy Sword Academy again? I should have known!" Matriarch Zhu almost facepalmed. "Aiya, why did the boy still go there even though I was constantly warned?"
"Since he had been friends with the old man's daughter all those years ago, he had grown more and more disobedient!" he thinks to himself.
When Matriarch Zhu sent the Core Disciple away a little later, she picked up the communication talisman and directed a few simple words towards the Sacred Sword Academy, saying, "Tell my daughter to come back this very moment!"

Inside the Sacred Sword Academy, Wu Jinjing sat before a young woman of the same age as him and an appearance that rivaled his own.
The young lady looked at Wu Jinjing with eyes full of disbelief, and she spoke, "Sister Jinjing, you must be joking with me!"
Wu Jinjing shook his head with a smile on his face, and he said, "I'm telling the truth. I met a young man at Nine Spring Hall, and I will give birth to his son in the future."
"B-But you just met him, right? How can you do such a thing when you are practically still a stranger! That ... It was unthinkable even by the freaks out there, let alone people like you!"
"You won't understand it," Wu Jinjing remained calm and said. "He is someone who defies all common sense, and such uniqueness devours my reasoning. Even now, I can't stop thinking about it."
"What about your dream to surpass your father and become the best swordsman in the world ?! How are you going to achieve such a goal now so that you will conceive a child ?!"
"Although giving birth to this child will definitely slow down my pace, it will not stop me from achieving my goal!" Wu Jinjing said as he rubbed his stomach with a passionate expression, making the young lady dumbfounded, who had never seen a side of himself like this.
"This ... this is crazy!" The young lady became speechless and almost fainted from shock.
