The thing I fear most is the sudden silence in the air.
When Long Aotian and Gu Tong both stopped talking, Chen Lv and Chen Yu felt as if time had slowed down.
Finally.
By the time the sun had risen high, someone else arrived.
Upon recognizing the identity of the newcomer, Long Aotian frowned.
"Qin Xiao, Vina!"
He huffed coldly.
Hearing these words, Gu Tong, Chen Lv, and Chen Yu's hearts all stirred.
They knew Vina, but it was their first time seeing Qin Xiao.
Hmm...
He did seem to be a lot more handsome than Long Aotian.
In terms of looks, he could indeed fight.
That's right, thinking back on what had happened before, it meant that Qin Xiao's cultivation level was only stronger, not weaker, than Long Aotian's.
A person who was handsome, had high cultivation, and great talent...
No wonder the Sect Master valued him so much, placing him in a position even higher than Long Aotian's upon his arrival.
"What are you doing here?"
Seeing an enemy made one's eyes turn red with anger, and although Long Aotian and Qin Xiao didn't have a deep hatred like a sea of blood, the sight of Qin Xiao still made Long Aotian uncomfortable.
"I don't seem to need to report to you why I'm here, do I?"
Qin Xiao furrowed his brows.
After all, he had accepted Poison Not Dead's request to come here as a teacher, and this kid Long Aotian seemed a bit rebellious.
"Long Aotian, aren't you being a bit too overbearing? This isn't your territory; if you can come here, why can't we?"
Vina couldn't help but stand up and speak out for Qin Xiao.
By now, Vina's feelings towards Qin Xiao were grateful and fervent.
Never mind that Qin Xiao's body was actually younger than Vina's, it didn't stop him from occupying a high position in her heart.
Let's put it this way.
At this moment, in Vina's eyes, he was already on par with Poison Not Dead.
Not for any other reason, but simply because Qin Xiao's extraordinary talent and strength, as well as his help to Vina herself, had completely conquered her.
"Vina, that's not to say you're wrong."
Long Aotian's expression changed variably, realizing he had been a bit impulsive and seemed rather petty just now.
"It's just that we've gathered here for a reason; the Sect Master has arranged a teacher for us. The Sect Master didn't tell me to notify you, so I guess he didn't want you to join. So you might as well leave to avoid the teacher getting upset after arriving and seeing so many people."
Long Aotian tried to appear calm and collected.
"Vina, the boss is right."
"Without the Sect Master's permission, it's inconvenient for you to be here."
Gu Tong and Chen Lv also began persuading after Long Aotian finished speaking.
"Oh?"
Vina raised an eyebrow, glancing at Qin Xiao instinctively.
She had heard from Qin Xiao that Poison Not Dead had arranged for him to be the teacher, instructing the disciples of the Body Sect...
She wondered what kind of feelings these guys would have when they learned that Qin Xiao was the teacher?
All they saw was Qin Xiao smiling, finding Poison Not Dead to be quite a character.
Always stirring up trouble for him, wanting him to instruct these guys but not telling them that he was the teacher?
Was he intent on watching him make a fool of himself?
Qin Xiao guessed that old man Poison Not Dead might be lurking in some dark corner, spying on them.
Ptui.
A peeping Tom!
"Qin Xiao, Vina, I've said what needs to be said. Can you leave now?"
Long Aotian suddenly felt like he was speaking earnestly, "Hurry up and go, I'm afraid the teacher will misunderstand when he arrives."
Qin Xiao decided not to hide it anymore, "Stop pretending, Long Aotian, have you ever considered that I might be the teacher you're talking about?"
Long Aotian was taken aback for a moment, his pupils contracting sharply.
Is there such a possibility?
Don't say it.
You really shouldn't say it.
"Impossible. I admit your talent is not bad, better than mine, but being a teacher requires more than just strong abilities."
Long Aotian was somewhat tempted, but reason ultimately prevailed over reality.
He did not believe that just because Qin Xiao had beaten him, he qualified to be a teacher.
A qualified teacher does not necessarily have to have high cultivation level; the main thing is being able to provide guidance.
What could Qin Xiao possibly guide others in?
Negative emotions, perhaps?
If that were the case, Long Aotian felt it might be possible.
Becuase Long Aotian felt that just standing there, Qin Xiao was already putting him in a bad mood.
"Excuse me for interrupting, but I think there should be a limit to joking."
"The identity of a teacher is very sacred to me, and I think you shouldn't offend that."
Standing by, Gu Tong couldn't help but step forward as well.
Just like Long Aotian, he didn't think of Qin Xiao as their teacher either.
No other reason.
Too young.
A youngster who looked even younger than himself, how could he be expected to provide guidance? Wasn't that a joke?
Therefore, he also did not believe what Qin Xiao said.
As for the others, although they did not directly voice their objections, it was not hard to see from their expressions that they were all disbelieving as well.
With no choice, Qin Xiao shook his head, "Well then, I wonder if you recognize this thing?"
As he spoke, he took something out of the Spatial Soul Guidance Device.
Long Aotian, Gu Tong, Chen Lv, and Chen Yu all looked over.
Their expressions were the same, their eyes instantly widening.
Shocked!
Disbelieving!
"If I'm not mistaken, this should be the Sect Master's token?"
"Really, I've seen a picture of it on the newcomer's manual distributed by the sect..."
"Hiss, is this the Sect Master Token that signifies the Sect Master's authority?"
Chen Lv, Chen Yu, and Gu Tong stared with their mouths agape.
If that was the case, things had just gotten serious. Could it really be, just like Qin Xiao said, that he was the teacher arranged by the Sect Master?
"Long Aotian, it seems that you all recognize the origin of the token. Then let me formally notify you again, I am your teacher. Whether you believe it or not..."
"Of course, if you can't accept it, you're free to leave right now, and I won't hold you back, nor will I go to the Sect Master to make trouble for you," Qin Xiao said with a smile, waving the token in his hand at the crowd.
Boom!
Hearing Qin Xiao repeat this statement, everyone's expression changed dramatically.
As expected, reality was more incredible than they had imagined.
This youngster... was actually their teacher...
"I also have an Eye Martial Soul, so why is it that there's such a big gap between us, even though we have the same type of Martial Soul?"
Gu Tong expressed his utter incomprehension.
But aren't there too many things in the world that are hard to understand?
That's normal.
"Since that's settled, shouldn't you now make your stance clear? Even if I have agreed to the Sect Master's request to teach you, calling me 'teacher' isn't too much to ask, right?"
Qin Xiao looked at everyone with a smiling gaze.
In fact, he was rather hoping that these people would leave, so he could have some peace.
After all, the fact that Vina had grasped the Unity of Heaven and Man Battle Skill was purely an accident.
He had no idea how to teach anyone!
