Refining the Mountains and Rivers

Qin Yu felt even more pressure.

Although he had the Light and Dark Body as well as having comprehended time and space, after seeing how ridiculously powerful elder senior-apprentice brother and second senior-apprentice brother were, even an idiot could tell they had hidden trump cards.

Could he compare with them? He feared he couldn't! In addition, with the massive disparity in strength between the two sides, what qualifications did he have to compete with them for the vacant position of Ruler?

Moreover, this was just the peach garden. Looking at the entire vast brightness, how many formidable cultivators were there, just like elder senior-apprentice brother and second senior-apprentice brother?

It was hard to say how many there were, but there were definitely some.

He bitterly smiled and suddenly thought that the Spring Master held him in high esteem.

In fact, there were some matters that no one knew about besides the Spring Master.

Otherwise Qin Yu would realize that the Spring Master wasn't looking down on him, but instead had great hopes and expectations for him.

On that day, after returning Peachy and Qin Yu to the peach garden, the Spring Master had gone back.

A certain large fellow who had returned was left completely frightened. He turned tail and ran, so there wasn't much else to say here.

Following that, the Spring Master personally cleaned up the traces that Qin Yu left behind in this world. Of course, the methods he used were simple and crude, just like how Black Shadow Half-Saint had been. He simply lifted his hands and pressed down.

But the Spring Master's actions weren't comparable to Black Shadow Half-Saint's. To erase the heavens and earth with a single palm…it was probably like that.

It was because of this that the big fellow was scared out of his wits and fled without a trace, giving up all thoughts of returning home.

Terrifying!

It was just too terrifying!

To perceive light and darkness, grasping the power of space and time…if the Spring Master hadn't confirmed this himself, he would have found it hard to believe.

If he had discovered Qin Yu's great talent 10,000 years ago, he wouldn't have hesitated to use a forbidden method to seize his body and kill him, stealing that talent for himself and using it to reshape his Great Dao and then attack the boundary of a Ruler.

But there was no more time.

He couldn't kill him, so this led to the test afterwards. After Qin Yu obtained the Spring Master's approval, it was like this that he became the peach garden's son-in-law.

Status? Reason? Reputation?

Was that needed?

Perhaps it was needed, but it definitely wasn't important.

Did he really think that the status of the peach garden's son-in-law could be held by just anyone?

Qin Yu had been chosen by the Spring Master to be the guardian of Peachy after he left. Qin Yu would shoulder the responsibility of protecting the entire peach garden and keeping everyone safe and sound!

…

The peach garden released an official announcement. The fourth seat Peachy and the ninth seat Qin Yu were in love with each other and decided to become dao companions. Although the date for this grand ceremony hadn't yet been decided, the news was like a giant stone that aroused countless great waves.

The focuses of attention remained different like before.

What Saints were thinking was that the newly minted 'Dual Saint Slayer' Qin Yu indeed had astonishing talent to be able to earn the approval of the Spring Master and even marry Peachy. In making this decision, the Spring Master likely wished to raise Qin Yu as a future successor.

But, what they couldn't figure out was that as a solemn True Saint, wasn't this decision a bit too hasty?

After all, Qin Yu had just gained fame and had only joined the peach garden not too long ago. Was he not afraid of any problems? The Spring Master wasn't someone who was careless or didn't plan well!

Some junior cultivators felt bitter, but most of them had no choice other than to accept this reality. As they thought, people who were epic and amazing were really beyond their comprehension.

This was Peachy after all!

She was a beautiful young maiden who stood at the apex of the vast brightness. The cultivators that pursued her, if added together, could fill in the entire East Sea, but no one had ever heard of anyone who was able to approach her.

How long had Qin Yu been in the peach garden before he captured Peachy's heart and then ascended into the skies with a single leap? Looking at the entirety of the Saint circles, there were few people who could compare with his status.

On this day, the East Sea Dragon Saint threw down his cup and jumped and cursed in the Dragon Palace. The son-in-law he personally chose for the East Sea had been snatched away by that shameless peach seller.

Dragini locked herself in her room, sorrowfully writing down, 'my love is forever lost' as she quietly cried. As for revenge, she forgot about it. She could still live without love, but not if she lost her life!

As the topic of conversation, Qin Yu had no idea about any of this. But he wasn't an idiot. Just from thinking about it he could guess what others were saying.

Including the previous Saint Slayer incident, his name was truly famous throughout the world. But at the same time, there were many people who wanted to gnaw him to pieces.

For instance, Peachy's sea of pursuers. For instance, the Western Mountain.

Peachy hadn't died. This was Qin Yu's greatest fault placed on him. Qin Yu had no idea what happened between the Scholartree Saint and the Spring Master, but he didn't care either.

But there was one thing he knew for sure. If there was a chance, the Scholartree Saint would grind him to goo without hesitation.

Just thinking about how he was being remembered by a True Saint who could compete on even grounds with the Spring Master was horrifying!

Fortunately, he had now become a part of the peach garden's four-and-a-half squad of people who were impacting towards the Ruler boundary. The Spring Master would certainly do his best to ensure his safety.

Elder senior-apprentice brother was in seclusion, so he tasked Iron Mountain with sending a congratulatory gift. Sixth senior-apprentice brother Earth Stride came with Iron Mountain. The two were together as usual.

They each presented their gifts. The two senior-apprentice brothers didn't stay for long. After saying a few words to their little junior-apprentice brother, telling him to take care of his injuries, they bid their farewells and left at the same time.

Qin Yu thought this was a bit strange. The two senior-apprentice brothers seemed very restrained and cautious. Before he could think about it more, seventh senior-apprentice sister arrived. Lei Xiaoyu followed behind her, her head and eyes lowered and her expression a bit timid.

It seemed that the peach garden disciples had all made appointments to come visit him today.

"I greet seventh senior-apprentice sister and eighth senior-apprentice sister." Qin Yu coughed and bowed.

Lei Xiaoyu had an uneasy look.

Seventh senior-apprentice sister had once again changed into another irresistible and enchanting appearance. Her figure was alluring and her smile was radiant. "Little junior-apprentice brother, I take back what I said before. In the future, I'll have to rely on you to protect me in the peach garden."

She tossed Qin Yu a wink.

Qin Yu forced a smile. "Seventh senior-apprentice sister speaks too seriously. This little brother will still need to rely on your care in the future."

The Spring Master was clearest on the people in the peach garden. Since he placed seventh senior-apprentice sister on par with elder senior-apprentice brother and second senior-apprentice brother, she was definitely strong.

Facing such an unfathomable senior-apprentice sister who changed her face every day, he didn't dare to provoke her in the slightest.

Seventh senior-apprentice sister laughed, "The more little junior-apprentice brother speaks like that, the more I like you."

Uh…

It wasn't good to respond to this!

Lei Xiaoyu resolved Qin Yu's conundrum. She seriously said, "Little junior-apprentice brother, when you are together with senior-apprentice sister Peachy in the future, you must cultivate diligently and live a good life."

For some reason, Qin Yu felt that there was another meaning in this girl's words. Seventh senior-apprentice sister glanced at Lei Xiaoyu, and her smile widened.

Out of the peach garden's nine disciples, besides the two involved parties, only third senior-apprentice brother White Phoenix didn't come to express his congratulations.

Seventh senior-apprentice sister's eyes flashed and she said, "Third senior-apprentice brother is in seclusion and is trying to break through his bottleneck. I hope that little junior-apprentice brother doesn't mind."

Qin Yu smiled and nodded, "If third senior-apprentice brother can successfully make a breakthrough, things cannot be any happier. How can I be small-minded?"

Seventh senior-apprentice sister looked at Qin Yu for a while and nodded, "I knew that my little junior-apprentice brother was a sensible young man. Alright, that's it for today. I have some other business to attend to, so I'll be leaving first."

As she spoke she turned her head, "Little Eight, come with me."

Lei Xiaoyu absolutely did not want to and her face was full of bitterness, but she didn't dare to say any words of refusal.

After giving Qin Yu a look that was ignored, she clenched her teeth and stomped away.

Qin Yu closed the doors and lightly humphed. This little girl's courage wasn't small for her to dare to tease him.

Although he had no idea what reason seventh senior-apprentice sister pulled Lei Xiaoyu away for, it definitely wasn't anything dangerous. At most she would suffer a bit.

This would serve as a small lesson for her!

After the disciples of the peach garden came to visit, what followed afterwards were all the other cultivators attached to the peach garden. Since the Spring Master announced such news worth celebrating, they of course had to express their congratulations, and it had to be a big one at that.

Everyone was smart. The Spring Master only had one daughter, and he always treated her like the most valuable treasure. Everyone could guess the meaning behind marrying her to Ninth Mister.

He was simply choosing a future for the peach garden!

What else was there to say? Hurry up and send the gifts! And they had to be generous gifts too, ones that could leave a good impression on this Ninth Mister's heart.
