Chapter 1291: Scared

Lu Li had formally acknowledged Patriarch Gu as his master but he would not release such information in public. Upon discussion, they decided that publicly, Patriarch Gu would accept Qian Huanhan was his private student by Lu Li would be recorded as a registered disciple.

This arrangement could bring about many benefits. For one thing, Lu Li would not get too much attention. Everyone would be focused on Qian Huanhan. It would be easier for Lu Li to carry out whatever plans he had.

Otherwise, the Palace of Evil Spirit would notice Lu Li soon. He would be traced wherever he went and would have absolutely no chance to approach Chou Qiajun, not to mention find a chance to kill him.

For another, Patriarch Gu would teach Lu Li many methods of forging artifacts. Lu Li had a collection of books from Tian Lingzi. Lu Li’s ability to forge artifacts would be improved greatly unless he was an idiot.

He would use many materials when forging artifacts and the Relics he made would have to be submitted. He could not keep all those things under the rags or the Chamber of Relics would have suspicions. Therefore, someone must cover for Lu Li and that someone was Qian Huanhan.

Lu Li would enjoy convenience in many ways when Qian Huanhan became Patriarch Gu’s private student. Of course, Lu Li desired to help Qian Huanhan by doing so. Patriarch Gu would teach Qian Huanhan after he became a private student, which would benefit him immensely.

Lu Li had too many enemies, God of Wings, Yan Tiangang, Cabinet of Cloud, and Lady Dan and Long Yunhai. Therefore, he could never be too careful. He would rather face that the world forgets about him.

He would secretly learn to forge artifacts and cultivate. By the time he had enough powers, nobody could touch him.

Once Patriarch Gu accepted Lu Li as his secret private student, he became much kinder. “You have a supreme Relic armor so I won’t give you another one. What kind of weapon is your choice?” He asked.

“What?”

Lu Li did not expect this. He answered, somewhat shyly, “Master, I have weapons. This is not necessary…”

“Don’t be so shilly-shally. You are a man.”

Patriarch Gu pulled a long face. “I may lack in other things but do you think I don’t have enough Relics? I am an expert craftsman. Consider this as my gift to you. Tell me. What kind of weapon do you prefer?”

Lu Li answered, “Saber, and a long one!”

“I have such weapons!”

Patriarch Gu took out a silver saber from his Interspatial Ring. This saber had a length of 10 feet and a narrow body. The width grew gradually from the handle to the point. There were beautiful lines covering the saber. Lu Li thought he could see dozens of dragons moving about in the saber. Before he tried it, Lu Li could tell that the saber was not an average one.

Patriarch Gu stroke the saber fondly and said, “This is a supreme Relic that I forged three thousand years ago. The saber is called Monster Butcher. This is one of my best works and I never want to sell it. Today, I give it to you. This saber can help your ability improve by fifty percent. There is an azure dragon in here that can release cold air. When you attack your enemies, the cold air will seep in and free the enemies. Even if the enemies are not frozen, they will be slowed down. Today, I give this saber to you. I hope that you do not bring disgrace to this saber.”

Lu Li took over the saber solemnly and bowed. He said resolutely, “Master, do not worry. I will not bring disgrace to this Monster Butcher. In the future, I will use the saber to cut off Chou Qianjun’s head to avenge your family.”

“Okay! Good, good!”

Patriarch Gu smiled. Tears filled his eyes as if he could see the day when Lu Li finished Chou Qianjun.

After a moment, Patriarch Gu took out five oval balls and gave them to Lu Li. “This is the unique weapon I forged, Lightning Triggers. You can have those five to protect yourself. The Lightning Triggers are powerful. Even super-mighty warriors will be blasted to death if they are inside the sphere of the blast. Do not use them unless it is absolutely necessary and under no condition should you use them on disciples from the Chamber of Relics!”

Lu Li took them over and nodded. Patriarch Gu remembered the test just now. “Previously, I am testing you when I asked you to kill Ruodan. Ruodan is the Chief’s granddaughter and she is a rare talent we have here. Actually, she is not a bad person. She is just spoiled. Be nice to her. I am greatly indebted to the Chief. You cannot clash with Ruodan, nor to hurt her. Do you understand?”

“The Chief’s granddaughter?”

Lu Li understood now why Lady Dan could be so full of herself. She was the Chief’s granddaughter and a rare genius. The entire Chamber of Relics regarded her as a treasure. Naturally, she was spoiled and became arrogant and stubborn.

Lu Li remembered Long Yunhai and asked, “Master, how about Long Yunhai and Yunshan?”

“They are grandsons of major Patriarch Long Xuesha. Patriarch Long is one of the most powerful warriors in the Chamber of Relics and an expert craftsman. He ranks number 300 on the list and is on a promising path to becoming a supreme warrior.”

Patriarch Gu explained and asked a follow-up question. “Are there any conflicts between you? If so, I will say the word so that they will not rock your boat.”

“That is not necessary.”

Lu Li shook his head, “Master, from now on, treat me like a registered disciple or people in Chamber of Relics will become suspicious. We will be in trouble if this gets out.”

“Quite so!”

Patriarch Gu said, “Okay, later, I will set up a ritual and invite some patriarchs over. I will accept that idiotic Qian Huanhan as my private student. In the future, with him as the cover, nobody will trouble you.”

“You are right, Master!”

Lu Li breathed in relief. Patriarch Gu finally knew what to do. Lu Li’s original intention was to let Qian Huanhan take the spotlight. He would be free from troubles as long as Qian Huanhan was his cover. Lu Li could cultivate and learn to forge artifacts secretly so as to plan for the future gradually.

“Time waits for no one. I will talk to Qian Huanhan now.”

Patriarch Gu would carry out his task with drive and progress. He took some books. “Those are some notes I have collected over the years of forging artifacts. Take a look. Later, I will give you detailed instructions on forging artifacts. About cultivation, I may not be able to help you much. I am only a mighty warrior after so many years of cultivation. I am not that talented in cultivation. But, I can tell you something—there is a similarity between forging artifacts and cultivation. Basically, all the skilled craftsmen in the Chamber of Relics and Craftsmen’s Sect can become mighty warriors!”

“Okay, I see!”

Lu Li nodded. He had noticed this beforehand. Studying Inhibition Formations could be instrumental to learn cultivation. Now, Patriarch Gu’s words had proven this speculation.

Patriarch Gu nodded and then sent Lu Li out. When Lu Li returned to his room, Patriarch Gu told Qian Huanhan to come.

Qian Huanhan walked to the backyard, nervously. This time, he was clever enough not to look around and bowed to Patriarch Gu with respect. “Patriarch, yes?”

Patriarch Gu did not look up. After the time for half an incense stick to burn, Patriarch Gu finally raised his head. “Qian Huanhan, have you been learning to forge artifacts secretly?”

Qian Huanhan’s face changed all of a sudden. He stuttered, “Patriarch, I, did not. No… I just… well…”

Patriarch Gu pulled a long face and slapped Qian Huanhan. “Three days later, I will gather patriarchs and I will accept you as my private student. Get ready for it. I will kill you if you make a mistake at that time. Do you understand?” Patriarch Gu bellowed.

“What?”

Qian Huanhan blinked in confusion. He thought he was hearing things. After half a day, he finally came back to his senses. His eyes were filled with terror as he said nervously, “Patriarch, don’t be like this… tell me what I have done wrong. I will correct my mistakes! I am scared… when you are like this!”

“Bang!”

Patriarch Gu slapped Qian Huanhan away…
