"Thank you, Young Master!"
The Liu sisters were overjoyed.
Ezra Yin and the other two looked at Quinn Ye with very strange expressions. Just a moment ago, they were praising Quinn for having principles, yet in the blink of an eye, he had taken these two sisters under his wing.
Quinn, however, remained unfazed, looking perfectly composed.
I absolutely cannot let them realize that I only took these two in because they are beautiful, Quinn thought secretly to himself.
"Rise," Quinn said indifferently. "I, Quinn Ye, have always enjoyed helping others. Since you have encountered difficulties, I naturally won't stand by and do nothing."
"Young Master, your righteousness is truly as high as the heavens!"
"From now on, we sisters belong to the Young Master!"
The two sisters spoke one after another. Their words made Quinn feel like he was walking on air. Moreover, the more he looked at them, the more beautiful they seemed to become. Quinn felt that his "good days" had finally arrived.
"However, since you are following me, there are a few things I must make clear first," Quinn didn't forget to remind the sisters.
"Please speak, Young Master," Luna Liu said.
"First of all, I am just a mortal. I don't have a shred of cultivation."
This first sentence made the sisters freeze for a moment.
"But I know quite a few cultivators and have a bit of a network in the Heavenly Martial Empire, so you don't need to worry about your enemies hunting you down."
"Furthermore, I do not wish for you to be people who do evil. If I find out that you are not virtuous, I will not keep the two of you around."
The Liu sisters exchanged a glance.
"Why haven't the two of you knelt and expressed your gratitude yet?" Ezra Yin barked. "To be chosen and taken in by Young Master Quinn is a blessing you couldn't earn in several lifetimes!"
"Exactly!" Rosie Song added from the side. She also wanted to stay by Quinn's side, but unfortunately, she didn't have that luck. These sisters, on the other hand, were actually able to follow a peerless expert like Quinn. It made Rosie green with envy.
"We will remember the Young Master's words!"
"Thank you for taking us in, Young Master!"
The two sisters quickly knelt in gratitude. Quinn nodded.
"Alright, it's about time to go check out the excitement on Heaven-Rending Peak."
After speaking, Quinn took the lead and headed outside. Ezra and the other two followed behind, and the Liu sisters hurriedly kept pace. As for the noodle shop, it was naturally abandoned on the spot.
Leaving the shop, the group headed straight for Heaven-Rending Peak.
Barnaby Qin, who was hiding outside, grew even more confused when he saw this. How did four people go in, but six people came out? What was the situation? Barnaby felt that things were becoming increasingly suspicious.
"It seems they're heading up Heaven-Rending Peak. I'd better follow them quickly." Barnaby continued his pursuit.
Soon, the group ascended Heaven-Rending Peak, only to find even more people there. At a glance, there were people everywhere. Some had even occupied the trees—it was a spectacular sight.
Quinn and the others had arrived quite late and couldn't find a good vantage point. They couldn't even see the summit clearly.
What should we do now? Quinn frowned and looked around.
Suddenly, he spotted a familiar face. Lance Xu!
The people from the Mystic Sword Sect were right ahead, occupying an excellent position. Other martial artists feared the sect's power and didn't dare approach.
Quinn immediately began to shout.
"Sect Leader Xu!"
"Sect Leader Xu!"
...
After shouting a few times, Lance Xu actually heard him. He turned around and saw Quinn behind the crowd not far away.
Lance was shocked. Why has this great expert come here as well?
He didn't dare dally and hurried over to welcome him personally.
"Move! Move aside!"
"Get out of the way!"
"Make way!"
...
The prestige of the Mystic Sword Sect Leader was immense. Many martial artists moved aside, their faces filled with awe. Lance Xu walked straight up to Quinn.
"Young Master Quinn, why have you come?" Lance said with great excitement, bowing respectfully to Quinn.
Many people on the scene were dazed. Who was this young man? How could he make a powerhouse like Lance Xu so respectful?
The Liu sisters, in particular, had just joined Quinn and weren't fully aware of his background. Seeing Lance Xu so respectful toward him now, they turned pale with shock.
Just what kind of sacred being is this Young Master Quinn?
The sisters felt a chill in their hearts. Sect Leader Lance Xu was an existence they usually had to look up to. If they met him under normal circumstances, they would have to kneel on the ground and kowtow.
But now...
A powerhouse like Lance Xu was actually bowing to Quinn. It was clear that Quinn's status was incredibly extraordinary, at least far above that of Lance Xu.
"Uh... if I said I just came out for a random stroll and happened to run into this, would you believe me?" Quinn said awkwardly.
Lance froze for a moment, then burst into a smile. Senior Quinn is indeed different from the rest.
He was clearly here to watch the duel, yet he deliberately said he was just out for a stroll. However, since the Senior had put it that way, Lance wouldn't expose him.
