Qin Dong smiled bitterly, "I promise to practice cultivation with you, but not now. I have to handle some trifles. Two masters please wait for me."
The answer reassured the monk and Jin Pingyue.
She beamed, "It doesn't matter. We need to deal with some affairs. You just go ahead."
The monk continued, "Just tell us if you need our help."
Qin Dong waved head. Ten monks could not give him a helping hand. Fu Yanshan, Qi Dong's biggest enemy and also a cultivator at the tenth level, found it easy to eradicate a hundred inferior cultivators like the monk.
Qin Dong was curious to know if the monk and Jin Pingyue knew he had a powerful opponent , would they like to claim him as their disciple?
He did not doubt about their moral quality. However, human minds were unpredictable in the mortal realm.
"Fine, we will stay in the Natural Financial Group recently. If you need us, just go there. We're waiting for you." The monk could not take his eyes off him.
Qin Dong nodded.
Jin Pingyue and the monk should not have showed up before others easily, and did not stay long in Clan Qin. The monk gave the picture to Qin Dong and asked him to take care of it, without glancing at Gu Tianba.
Gu Tianba could do nothing, but grinned wryly while facing the two master hands.
"Qin Dong, return the picture to me!" Gu Tianba shouted upon Jin Pingyue and the monk's departure.
The monk only thrust the picture to Qin Dong without explaining him what it was. Curious about it, Qin Dong unfolded the picture and studied it, regardless of Gu Tianba's eagerness.
Gu Tianba was furious for Qin Dong's neglect and uplifted his hand to snatch, but was prevented by Qin Zongheng.
Gu Tianba bellowed, "Qin Zongheng, what are you doing? Clan Gu should keep the picture! You want to disobey our agreement?"
Qin Zongheng snorted, "Just as you say, it should be kept by Clan Gu. But it was robbed due to your incapability. Now, it doesn't belong to your clan."
Gu Tianba answered in a deep tone, eyebrows knitting, "What do you mean? The monk promised to return the picture to us."
Qin Zongheng stretched up one finger and waved, "You're wrong! He gave it to Qin Dong, not us. Didn't you hear that Qin Dong now has the right to decide its keeper?"
"You…Nonsense! Qin Dong is your grandson, and you want to take it as your own." Gu Tianba was incensed.
Qin Zongheng shook his head, "Why do you think so? Qin Dong is my grandson, but I won' take one more look at the picture without his approval. Ha…ha…If he gives it to me out of his filial piety, I won't refuse."
"You…you…you…" Gu Tianba was enraged with his eyes wide open.
The profound Zhenyi Picture was simple for Qin Dong, and he penetrated it after a short time.
The secret of the picture was to teach cultivators how to make a breakthrough of the peak of the Xiantian stage and communicate with the heavens and earth. This fundamental skill was familiar to him.
Qin Dong realized why Gu Tianba cared the picture so much. Gu Tianba remained in the peak of the Xiantian stage for over a dozen years and desired his breakthrough. The picture was his final hope. So did Qin Zongheng.
