Qin Shou's add-on questions almost drove Yi Jia nuts. Yi was able to fly off the handle.
However, he had to hold it back — Qin Shou was still of great use to him.
"Calm down, calm down," Yi Jia gave himself a reminder. He managed to contain his overflowing anger at full capacity.
After a while, he responded with every syllable stressed, "O…kay…"
Qin Shou waved his arms and stamped his feet in jubilance — he finally got Yi Jia's permission for the pellets.
Qin Shou beamed merrily, "Haha, I knew it! I knew it! Big brother will never let me down. I must be the very first one to have procured so many Most Refined Royal Pellets in the Taixuan Sect!"
On hearing that, Yi Jia covered his face with his hands in spite of himself, feeling tempted to jump the Mount Youming.
He had no option — it was not the right time to put Qin Shou away. Hence, the only thing he had in mind is to hurt himself instead in order to vent his anger.
Luckily, Qin Shou shifted his topic at that moment. Yi Jia felt saved by the bell. Otherwise, he would have died down the Mount Youming already.
Qin Shou put on a serious look.
"Goddamned Lin Xiao. Once I got the hold of the Most Refined Riyal Pellets, I will make speedy progress in my martial cultivation. I shall make you plead with me for mercy on your knees at the martial contest for external disciples!"
He didn't refer to Wu Gui, as Yi Jia would take care of Wu.
Afraid that Qin Shou would blabber on, Yi Jia didn't respond until he rushed out of the door.
"Junior brother, I'm sure you will make it! Let's stop it for now. Hurry up and hit the road! We'll have to go to the great central square. Come and watch me in action! Remember to cheer for us!"
Yi Jia was speeding up. Qin Shou had to catch up.
"Okay! Big brother, just count on me! I'll be the loudest supporter! Big brother, please wait for me! I'm coming!"
After Qin Shou left, the Youming disciples looked at their hair in their hands, feeling like crying.
They tugged their hair off to hold back their anger when Qin Shou loosened his tongue. If they hadn't hurt themselves, they would have killed Qin Shou instead — what a self-entitled prick he was!
Luckily, Qin Shou was utterly in the dark about their insane behavior.
Thanks to Qin Shou's nagging, the Youming disciples beat other disciples to it.
However, when the arrived, they wandered about aimlessly — they hated to stay with Qin Shou.
As a matter of fact, the Youming disciples were quite detached from Qin Shou at first. Qin Shou clung to Yi Jia most of the time back then. However, Qin Shou got on Yi Jia's nerves, then the latter had no option but to stay with the Youming disciples instead.
In the meantime, Yi Jia deliberately brought their topic around to the disciples instead. Only in this way could Yi Jia break free from Qin Shou's entanglement.
With time going by, there had been more disciples coming to the square. Yi Jia finally felt at ease and got closer to Qin Shou on purpose.
"Junior brother, the contest will start soon. You know we Youming disciples will have to stay free from any interruptions. Please help me annoy other disciples instead."
On hearing that, Qing Shou went excitedly. He patted his own chest gave Yi Jia his word.
Following Qin Shou's vanishing figure with his eyes, Yi Jia flopped onto the ground.
So did the Youming disciples. They finally got an opportunity to have some air.
Qin Shou headed out for Wang Di and Wang Manyun. He deemed it a golden chance to humiliate them — he would, at no time, let go of it.
He soon got the hold of them.
As soon as Wang Di and Wang Manyun came into his sight, Qin Shou felt delighted to the brim. The great central square was already filled up with disciples. Hence, it was no easy task to track them down in such a short time. Qin Shou found it a good omen for him.
