Chapter 1172: Chapter 1169: Changlin Peak Covering the Sky with One Hand?_1 Chapter 1172: Chapter 1169: Changlin Peak Covering the Sky with One Hand?_1 Even if Qin Xueru was foolish, she still retained her basic ability to discern. When she was in trouble, none of her so-called good sisters and friends came to help her. It was Yang Chen, who had a casual acquaintance with her, who chose to help her.

How could she possibly sever ties with Yang Chen? She quickly followed behind him and said, “Junior Brother Yang Chen, I will go with you!”

“Qin Xueru, think about it carefully. If you go with this Yang kid, you’ll be severing ties with us.” Lin Shuang and several female disciples said viciously.

“Qin Xueru, think it over.”

Qin Xueru didn’t look back, grabbing Yang Chen and leaving.

Seeing Qin Xueru leave, Lin Shuang and several female disciples gritted their teeth and snorted, “It’s good that she left; we won’t have to deal with her anymore!”

“Hopefully Young Master Cheng won’t hold this against us!”

…

Yang Chen was taken away by Qin Xueru and couldn’t help but say, “Miss Qin, you don’t need to go so far as to cut ties with them for my sake!”

“Even if I don’t sever ties with them, Junior Brother Yang Chen, do you think there is any friendship left between me and them?” Qin Xueru bit her shell teeth lightly, and said, “I never thought that after knowing them for so long, I would only see their true faces today!”

…

Yang Chen couldn’t help but feel a little sympathetic towards Qin Xueru. Anyone being betrayed by their friends like this would not be happy. He hoped that Qin Xueru could let it go, as these friends were not worth her cherishing.

He curiously asked, “By the way, what’s the deal between you and that Young Master Cheng?”

Hearing this, Qin Xueru’s face became serious: “It’s a long story. Before I joined the Northern Territory Sect, my parents owed a huge debt due to a gambling game and were detained. Later, I joined the Northern Territory Sect by a fluke and used the sect’s relationship to repay the debt for my parents.”

“When you joined the Northern Territory Sect, you should have been able to rely on the sect to save your parents. Even if they couldn’t save them, those people would have extended the debt repayment period because of the sect’s face,” Yang Chen couldn’t help but say.

“Junior Brother Yang Chen, you’re thinking too simply. The Northern Territory Sect is vast, but I’m just an ordinary disciple. I’m not even in the top 100 of the Four Peaks, let alone the Core Disciples. How can I represent the Northern Territory Sect? After joining the Sect, my only advantage is that those creditors will not beat and scold me and my parents as they did before,” Qin Xueru sighed softly.

Upon hearing this, Yang Chen was slightly taken aback, feeling guilty and blaming himself for only considering his own perspective.

The Northern Territory Sect was indeed vast, but not everyone could use the sect’s power for their own gain. The sect’s hierarchy was quite clear.

First, there were the Ordinary Disciples, followed by the Elite Disciples, Core Disciples, and then the top 100 disciples of the Four Peaks. Ordinary Disciples were the most powerless, doing menial tasks and such. Elite Disciples were comparatively stronger, but not by much.

It was the Core Disciples and the top 100 disciples who received the best treatment!

No matter which force he went to, he was highly sought after, and could use his own strength as a shield. He never considered the feelings of these low-ranking disciples.

“So, you borrowed the Spirit Stones from Young Master Cheng first?” Yang Chen asked.

“Yes. Owing debts is something that, with my status in the Northern Territory Sect, can’t be disputed even if I argue with people. So, I was introduced by Lin Shuang to borrow Spirit Stones from Young Master Cheng first. Unfortunately, I didn’t realize that it wouldn’t be so easy to borrow Spirit Stones from him,” Qin Xueru said.

“Lin Shuang?”

Yang Chen shook his head, it seemed that Lin Shuang had led Qin Xueru into the fire pit.

He guessed that Lin Shuang had borrowed Spirit Stones mostly to satisfy her own vanity. That woman was blind to herself.

“If you can’t repay, Young Master Cheng probably won’t give up easily,” Yang Chen said indifferently.

When she heard this, Qin Xueru suddenly remembered something and said quickly, “Junior Brother Yang Chen, you’ve just joined Changlin Peak and you don’t know how powerful Young Master Cheng is. Today you helped me, which will surely upset him. Although it’s inappropriate for me to say this, I still advise you to apply for a peak transfer as soon as possible. While you’re in Changlin Peak, if you offend Young Master Cheng, he certainly won’t let you go easily.”

“What background does this Young Master Cheng have?” Yang Chen asked.

Qin Xueru sighed softly, “He is the son of Changlin Peak’s Great Elder Du Changfei, named Du Haicheng.”

“Great Elder?” Yang Chen made a mental note.

“The position of the Great Elder is the highest among the elders of Changlin Peak. It can be said that apart from the Hua Wu Great Emperor and his envoys, Du Changfei has the final say in Changlin Peak. However, the Great Emperor and his envoys are elusive and hardly ever deal with the affairs of Changlin Peak. Du Changfei practically rules over everything in Changlin Peak,” Qin Xueru explained.

Yang Chen wasn’t surprised. He guessed that the Hua Wu Great Emperor and his Envoy Wang Tong had no interest in dealing with Changlin Peak’s affairs, which led to the tyranny of Du Changfei and his son.

Qin Xueru couldn’t do it; in her eyes, Du Changfei was the king of Changlin Peak, Du Haicheng was the king’s son, and Yang Chen was no match for them.

She anxiously said, “Junior Brother Yang Chen, you should transfer to another peak quickly. Don’t get involved in my affairs!”

“What about you? Why don’t you transfer to another peak?” Yang Chen asked in confusion.

“I’ve considered it, but the elders of these Four Peaks are all somewhat connected, and as an ordinary disciple of the Northern Territory Sect, Du Haicheng wants to suppress me. Where can I transfer to? You, on the other hand, are different. While Du Haicheng isn’t taking you too seriously yet, transfer quickly. It won’t be so easy for him to deal with you if you do,” Qin Xueru said.

Yang Chen couldn’t help but laugh, so Du Haicheng really ruled Changlin Peak with an iron fist. He couldn’t even avoid him if he wanted to?

With that in mind, Yang Chen waved his hand, “No need. I don’t like so much trouble. Transferring to another peak is just too much of a hassle!”

“No, Junior Brother Yang Chen, why are you so stubborn? Aren’t you afraid that Young Master Cheng will take revenge on you?” Qin Xueru looked at Yang Chen’s choice in amazement.

If it were anyone else, they would have panicked upon offending Young Master Cheng. Yang Chen, on the other hand, was unfazed.

Yang Chen grinned and said, “Afraid? I’m really not afraid. If he wants to take revenge on me, let him take revenge. Alright, it’s getting late, Miss Qin. I’ll take my leave!”

With that said, Yang Chen slowly left, not taking Qin Xueru’s words seriously.

Qin Xueru thought that Yang Chen was just pretending to save face, feeling anxious in her heart. She stomped her foot repeatedly, but there was nothing she could do.
