Refining the Mountains and Rivers

Seeing the depressed giant dragon, Lei Xiaoyu gave Qin Yu an apologetic look and turned around to hug his giant head, constantly stroking his face.

"Okay, okay, my family's Azure Dragon is the most sensible, so don't be angry anymore, okay? Besides, there are no outsiders here today. Fifth and sixth senior-apprentice brothers definitely won't speak nonsense to others. Right, senior-apprentice brothers?"

Hu -

Azure Dragon allowed Qin Yu to hug his head, but his huge eyes rolled, swiveling towards Iron Mountain and Earth Stride as he ruthlessly threatened them.

The approximate meaning was - if you two are tired of living, then go ahead and tell outsiders. Then you can experience just how sharp a dragon's fangs are!

"Uhh…of course, of course, junior-apprentice sister is right. I and fifth senior-apprentice brother definitely won't say anything. You have nothing to worry about!" Earth Stride squeezed out a smile, revealing a flattering expression as he glanced at Azure Dragon.

He had no choice but to flatter. Who would have thought that the little dragon their little junior-apprentice sister brought back in the past would actually have such an immense background? Although his current strength wasn't anything at all to them, they had no choice but to keep his terrifying future growth potential in mind.

Right now, any one of them could teach this proud dragon a lesson. But what then?

They couldn't kill the dragon. Otherwise, let alone their little junior-apprentice sister who had already tacitly approved allowing Azure Dragon to become the future guardian beast of Peach Blossom Spring, but their master would be the first one to jump out and destroy them.

Since they couldn't kill him, no one wished to provoke Azure Dragon. If they tried to punish him, they would surely receive retaliation in the future due to its narrow-minded nature.

And because of his bloodline, Azure Dragon was very much favored by their third senior-apprentice brother. In Peach Blossom Spring, Azure Dragon was like a tyrant that no one dared to provoke!

Iron Mountain revealed a puzzled expression on his simple and honest large face. He frowned and said, "What are you talking about? Because of my cultivation my ears are a bit weak so I haven't heard anything at all."

Praise the heavens.

Looking at sixth senior-apprentice brother's wide-open mouth and his speechless expression, Qin Yu finally understood that there was some truth to what he said before.

Some people appeared simple and honest with reliable thoughts, but in fact they were rotten to the core!

Azure Dragon humphed. Of course, this humph was a snort, and when he did, he carefully avoided Lei Xiaoyu's ears. As he squinted his eyes and looked around, they were full of contempt. He was thinking that individuals like these had managed to sneak their way into his solemn Peach Blossom Spring. It was simply a disgrace!

However, he never considered that before coming here with Lei Xiaoyu, fifth and sixth senior-apprentice brothers had already been in Peach Blossom Spring for so many years. He really had no qualifications to express such feelings.

But whether or not one was qualified didn't matter. What was important was that Azure Dragon had a backer, energy, and potential. This was enough!

Iron Mountain and Earth Stride's faces stiffened and they roared inside. Were they being looked down upon? Looked down upon this Azure Dragon? For better or worse, we are senior-apprentice brothers, so where is the respect! The atmosphere of Peach Blossom Spring was simply terrible to the extreme!

This wasn't good. They had to search for elder senior-apprentice brother and have him kill off all these evil spirits and trends in the peach garden.

They glanced at each other and imperceptibly nodded at the same time. They came to a mutual agreement - they had to file a joint complaint!

As for why they imperceptibly nodded…cough cough, they had no other choice. Azure Dragon had narrow eyes and a small mind. If he saw them then he might create more issues. If things didn't go well they would experience a beating and third senior-apprentice brother would be dragged in.

As they thought about senior-apprentice brother's serious demeanor and his mentality of trying to convince people with mortality as well as his endless droning lessons that could turn a person deaf, Iron Mountain and Earth Stride paled. Did they have to reconsider making a complaint again? What if elder senior-apprentice brother didn't support them? If that happened, they were in for grave trouble!

Azure Dragon's lips twitched. That's right, it was a twitch, a sneering expression that was incredibly anthropomorphic. If he could speak right now, he would probably use a calm tone as he uttered, "Trash!"

With this little courage, they still wanted to report this dragon for bad behavior? How pathetic! But thinking about how cowardly Old Six and Old Five were, the possibility of them leaking his nickname should be low.

That's right, they wouldn't even dare!

Azure Dragon relaxed. As he felt smug and satisfied, he suddenly felt another hand stroking his head.

His eyes widened and anger burst out. Even if it was Qin Yu, and even if he saved his life, this was too presumptuous!

Only Xiaoyu could touch this Azure Dragon's head. If he didn't give Qin Yu a lesson today, then Qin Yu might even overturn the heavens later!

He bared his teeth, his eyes wide and round. He was going to use the unique dragon's roar skill to give Qin Yu a lesson he would never forget. But just as Azure Dragon opened his mouth to reveal sharp and snow white fangs, no sound came from his mouth.

The giant dragon's eyes fixed onto Qin Yu. He didn't want to acknowledge it, but he had no choice but to…at this moment, he felt fear!

That's right, the Azure Dragon that was praised by the Spring Master and said to have a noble bloodline and limitless future, couldn't help restrain the endless fear that grew in his heart.

It was like he had encountered his natural mortal enemy…no, this description wasn't appropriate. It was more like he encountered an existence from a higher level of life, one that completely restrained him.

Abyssal Titans ate Abyssal Demon Dragons as food and they were top level beasts in the abyss world. Although the two worlds were diametrically opposed to each other, they were inextricably linked in all sorts of complicated ways.

Although Azure Dragon stood at the pinnacle of the dragon race system in the vast brightness world, since he belonged to the dragon bloodline, he was naturally able to sense the aura of the Abyssal Titan within Qin Yu's body.

Of course, if this was just an incomplete Abyssal Titan aura, it might not be able to frighten Azure Dragon. The key lay in the fact that hiding inside Qin Yu's body was also a rebel shadow of the abyss that had fled from the abyss' will.

Old Turtle's existence filled in the flaw within the Abyssal Titan's aura. It even infinitely raised it, lifting it to a point that frightened Azure Dragon.

Lei Xiaoyu looked at Azure Dragon who wanted to roar but couldn't. Then, she looked at Qin Yu who was stroking Azure Dragon's head. Her eyes blinked. She thought that her Big Brother Qin was too fierce, and even someone as arrogant and proud as Little Black didn't dare to be dissolute against him.

As I thought, my Big Brother Qin is the best!

Iron Mountain and Earth Stride couldn't help but widen their eyes. They looked at the strange scene before them, confused.

Why?

Why?

Little apprentice-brother Qin Yu might be a bit more handsome than usual, but with Azure Dragon's aesthetic sense of the human race, that shouldn't matter.

When it came to cultivation, the two of them had cultivated like crazed idiots, so how come they didn't have this confidence? Just thinking about it left them feeling sad!

For their treatment to be so different, it was simply too much!

After rubbing him a few times, Qin Yu knocked on Azure Dragon's head, causing a few metallic scraping sounds. "Not bad, your scales are quite thick and the defensive power should be good. It seems you've eaten well these past years."

He wasn't just rubbing, he was even knocking!

Iron Mountain and Earth Stride licked their lips and coughed a few times. Maybe they could give a few rubs and a few knocks too?

But before they could reach out their hands, there was an angry howl. Azure Dragon took this chance to fiercely turn his head, his eyes viciously glaring at them.

Bastards!

Did they really think just anyone could touch this dragon's head? Daring to have such thoughts was a crime worthy of death! Ahhhhh!

But he really wasn't in the mood to settle accounts with Old Five and Old Six today. It was better to leave first to avoid further embarrassment.

The dragon's head quickly drew back. With a strong gust of wind, a giant shadow flew into the distance.

Okay. The arrogant Azure Dragon's pride had been a little hurt by Qin Yu today. He immediately decided to go to third senior-apprentice brother to exact justice for him.

Hum hum, rubbing was rubbing, but he dared to knock on this dragon's head. Today, I will teach you what it means when disaster comes from a person's own hands!

Iron Mountain and Earth Stride resentfully withdrew their hands. They looked at the direction Azure Dragon left in and then they rolled their eyes.

Earth Stride began to say, "Little junior-apprentice brother, I have some news I can give you for free. How about letting go of the previous bet?"

"Azure Dragon has gone to complain to third senior-apprentice brother. He is deeply loved by third senior-apprentice brother, so little junior-apprentice brother should be careful." Iron Mountain immediately said, not even sparing a look at Earth Stride. "Old Five, what did you say just now? My ears don't work well so I didn't hear you."

Earth Stride: …

If he could hit Old Five, he would definitely slap him silly. It seemed this guy was determined to fight against him today.

It wasn't anything to compensate with something. When it came to betting, there were always winners and losers. As a consummate gambler himself, he understood this well.

But the key point was that Qin Yu had just arrived today, and he had lost their first bet. This was a bit shameful. Given the personalities of the people in Peach Blossom Spring, they would definitely laugh at him. They would say that Old Six always bragged but he was destroyed by his little junior-apprentice brother the first time they met!

Losing something wasn't the issue. The issue was face and honor.

Lei Xiaoyu blinked, "Big Brother Qin made a bet with sixth senior-apprentice brother? Who won and who lost?"

Iron Mountain's ears suddenly became useful. "Little senior-apprentice brother won. It was a clean and neat victory."

Lei Xiaoyu cheered, "My Big Brother Qin is fierce!" She stuck out her tongue and looked at Earth Stride with embarrassment, as if kicking someone when they were down. "I am sorry fifth senior-apprentice brother, but that wasn't on purpose. I just know that fifth senior-apprentice is a man who keeps his word and will definitely live up to his name, right?"

Earth Stride's face stiffened, his complexion even uglier than a cry. "Yes, yes, little junior-apprentice sister is right. I will definitely compensate!"

When Qin Yu stood outside the door and watched his fifth and sixth senior-apprentice brothers walk away, his eyes were calm and leisurely. Although this was his first day at Peach Blossom Spring, he felt very relaxed.

This place and the people here, they were all different from what he imagined…it was interesting!

Seeing Qin Yu deep in thought and thinking he was worried, Lei Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Big Brother Qin, don't worry. All the senior-apprentice brothers and sisters here are good people. Sixth senior-apprentice brother won't be unhappy just because he has to compensate you with some treasures."

She chuckled and said, "But I have to remind Big Brother Qin that sixth senior-apprentice brother is a person who attaches great importance to face. He also likes to make bets. Since he lost to you today, he will do everything in his power to find a way to retrieve his honor in the future. You should be careful."

Qin Yu looked at her amused expression and suddenly felt warm inside. This girl who knew she was going to die before and still forced herself to appear strong, was now smiling brightly like a flower in full bloom.

He suddenly thought that even though he did things that seemed silly or stupid at times, they were in fact correct and worth it. For instance, Lei Xiaoyu in front of him. For instance, Yun Shi from the Profound Vision World…he hoped that after she woke up, she would live a beautiful and wondrous life.

Although Qin Yu didn't say anything, Lei Xiaoyu could feel the warmth from his expression. She said, "Big Brother Qin, allow me to show you around this place. After hearing you were coming, I cleaned it up myself."

She hugged Qin Yu's arms and shoved open the courtyard doors. There were peach trees everywhere, but since this was Peach Blossom Spring, that wasn't a surprise.

There was a sturdy peach tree deep in the courtyard. At this moment, the branches gently swayed. Through the peach blossom mark on his hand, he could feel a faint sense of joy. It actually had a vague consciousness of its own and seemed to be welcoming the arrival of its master.

Lei Xiaoyu reached out a hand and slapped the peach tree. "Every disciple of Peach Blossom Spring has such a peach tree. They are guardians that master has granted us." As she spoke to here she cautiously swept her eyes around and lowered her voice, saying, "Big Brother Qin, you should have seen master before. Do you think he is different from a solemn True Saint? In truth, master might seem a bit cheap and mean-spirited, but he's actually a really good person. He is unusually good to us disciples. You will understand later. For instance, this peach tree. Cultivators from outside the peach garden could dream all they want, but they can never obtain it."

Qin Yu nodded. He looked at Lei Xiaoyu and said, "Master's thoughts have already retreated."

"Ah!" Lei Xiaoyu's eyes widened, surprised. She said, "You can sense master's intent?"

Qin Yu said, "I could only sense a little bit. It's not too clear."

"Ah, that's wonderful! We finally have a place where we can speak in peace!" Lei Xiaoyu cheered out loud before closing her mouth, "Big Brother Qin, you're not joking around right? This matter is too serious, so don't lie about it!"

Qin Yu revealed a strange expression. He rubbed his chin, "Could it be…master…he is someone who likes to spy on others as they speak?"

Lei Xiaoyu's eyes widened and she covered his mouth, "Big Brother Qin! You must have gone insane to speak so loudly! The last time, second senior-apprentice brother accidentally said something and was thrown into a turbulent spatial flow by teacher. When he came back he was miserable!"

Tossed into a turbulent spatial flow…

Qin Yu's lips twitched. As someone who grasped the Space Laws, he certainly understood how terrifying the spatial flow was. Once someone was dragged inside, there was a chance they would be pulled somewhere unknown. If they fell into a chaotic space, they might never escape from it.

He actually used such methods to punish a disciple. It seemed that this Spring Master wasn't too broad-minded.

Remember this, he definitely had to remember this. When he did things in the future, he had to be cautious and not touch the Spring Master's bottom line.

Otherwise, who knew what sort of punishment he would receive!

He took a deep breath and slowly let it out. "Xiaoyu, I just came to Peach Blossom Spring so I don't know anything. You have to tell me so I can avoid further problems in the future."
