Chapter 789: Chapter 66 Support_5 Chapter 789: Chapter 66 Support_5 âŠ
Wang Ba stood before the Wanfa Peak, slightly taken aback.
He couldnât help but glance at Qu Shentong in his ocher cloak.
âMartial Uncle Qu, thisâŠâ
âYoung man, take delight secretly.
You bluntly rejected the marriage proposal of Master Qinâs great-granddaughter in front of him.
Had it not been for the Sect Masterâs protection, you would have been dead, regardless of having ten lives.
The dignity of the practitioner who attains spiritual transformation is not to be trifaced lightly.â
Qu Shentong shook his head.
...
Despite the stern tone, a hint of fondness tinged his voice.
His gaze on Wang Ba was filled with both admiration and a touch of regret.
If one were to say Wang Ba was as fearless as an inexperienced calf, it would hardly be plausible.
After all, he had journeyed from a small, rural kingdom.
Had he been reckless, he would have perished long ago.

But today, in front of a vast crowd, he dared to offend even an Immortal Ascension cultivator without hesitation, holding firm just to remain faithful to his wife.
It could be seen as foolish and ill-advised, but in the eyes of some, wasnât it also a sign of trustworthiness?
After all, who wouldnât wish their friends or sect disciples to be like Wang Ba?
Qu Shentong knew for sure that if he had a disciple like Wang Ba apart from hopeless lack of talent, he would certainly train him to be his successor.
âI wonder what kind of luck it was for Yao WudiâŠâ
At this thought, his gaze towards Wang Ba softened further.
Seemingly struck by an idea, he added:
âIn the future when youâre free, you could visit Shehun Peak more often.
I have one disciple who has just recently attained the Golden Core.
You both possess similar cultivation bases, so it wouldnât be a bad idea to cultivate a friendship.â
Wang Ba was momentarily taken aback.
However, he quickly understood and hastily said, âDisciple understands.â
âGood, donât wander around these few days.
Give some face to others.â
With a final piece of advice, Qu Shentong promptly flew away.
Wang Ba stood in mid-air, pondering over the situation before ultimately landing on Wanfa Peak.
Though todayâs episode was an unwelcome surprise, he knew there was little he could do amid the circumstances.
In his heart, he concluded that despite offending the Qin Family and seeming to be in peril, he knew they wouldnât harm him too much out of consideration for the Wanxiang Sect.
Moreover, he had reported the matter of the Truth Membrane Eye and the Plague Demon to the Sect, thus earning great merit.
Even if the Sect Master was angry, Wang Ba hadnât actually violated the Sectâs rules.
On the surface, the Sect Master couldnât truly punish him.
In secretâŠ
if the master of a sect had such small-mindedness, then there was nothing he could say.
Shao Yangziâs actions, however, didnât disappoint him.
His response even surpassed Wang Baâs expectations.
Given Master Qinâs attitude, Shao Yangzi was blatantly protective of him.
Needless to say, Wang Ba wasâŠ
quite surprised at the time.
âWhy would the Sect Master still want me to interact with Qin LingxiaoâŠâ
An inkling of confusion welled up within Wang Ba.
Soon though, he couldnât help but recall the figure of the woman next to Qin Dengyuan.
He sighed silently.
From the beginning to the end, he had never harbored feelings for this woman of the Qin Family.
Even if he did, he would never have allowed them to grow.
In personâs life, indulging in desire may bring joy.
But it was not the joy he sought.
âSenior Brother, youâre back so soon?â
Carrying a sleepy Liu Jin, Bu Chan appeared before him somewhat unexpectedly.
Seeing her, all Wang Baâs worries evaporated.
Grinning, he reached out to pinch Liu Jinâs round little face.
Liu Jin, feeling uncomfortable, instantly grabbed Wang Baâs finger.
Then, as a natural response, he tried to put the finger in his mouth.
Wang Ba didnât retract his finger, letting the baby gnaw and bite on it.
But Wang Ba, though not a body cultivator, had fingers tougher than iron.
When the baby bit down, he immediately woke up and started to cry loudly.
Wang Ba couldnât help but burst into hearty laughter.
âAs his father, how can you always bully him!â
Rolling her eyes at Wang Ba, Bu Chan couldnât help but laugh even as she scolded him.
She quickly picked up Liu Jin again and started to soothe him.
Only then did Liu Jin stopped crying, nestling himself into Bu Chanâs arms with a sullen expression on his face.
âThis kid is trying to steal my place.â
Wang Ba complained, looking disgruntled.
At his words, Bu Chan blushed and rolled her eyes at him.
But before long, a vaguely familiar voice echoed in the sky.
âIs Wang Ba here?â
Bu Chan immediately looked at Wang Ba.
Recognizing the voice, Wang Ba took to the sky.
As expected, he saw Martial Uncle Ma, Ma Shengxu, and a few other cultivators whom he vaguely recognized but couldnât name, waiting outside Wanfa Peak.
Upon seeing them, Wang Ba promptly made a respectful salute, âDisciple greets Martial Uncle Ma and the rest of youâŠâ
âWe are all your Martial Uncles.â
Ma Shengxu quickly corrected.
Wang Ba hurriedly said, âMy apologies.
Disciple greets all my Martial Uncles.â
To Wang Baâs surprise, the several cultivators seemed very friendly.
Their eyes revealed evident appreciation as they laughed and said:
âNo harm done.
We donât often go out, so itâs normal for you not to recognize us.â
At this point, Ma Shengxu revealed the purpose of their visit:
âYou mentioned in the hall earlier that your Dao Companion is also a Spirit Plant Master?â
Wang Ba was taken aback and nodded, âYes, although her practice came from a fragmented heritage of a small kingdom, it is indeed in the direction of Spirit Plant Master.â
