Chapter 268

Qiu Ran
Translated by Kollumceti of Exiled Rebels Scanlations

A few days ago, as You XiaoMo continually mused over the old geezer, the more he felt that the geezer was very strange. Thus, he asked BaiLi XiaoYu to look into the old geezer’s identity.

The BaiLi Family had a large influence in the academy. Having them help with the investigation would be faster than investigating it himself.

But as the old geezer’s identity was quite unusual, the BaiLi Family had to investigate for a few days before they got accurate information. If not for the old geezer notifying him today, he would have nearly forgotten about this matter.

On the way there, You XiaoMo looked at the information in the jade drive as he walked, and then he immediately frowned.

Ling Xiao took the jade drive from his hand and briefly read it. He let out an involuntary smile, “As expected, that old geezer is not that simple.”

“He is certainly not simple, but to have such a master like him is really troublesome.”

After reading the data on the old man, You XiaoMo did not feel any optimism. Instead, he felt that the old geezer was akin to a calamity.

The old geezer’s name was Duan QiTian. He was old as dirt, though no one knew exactly how old he was.

He was one of DaoXin Academy’s Eight Giants. The other seven were the principal, the vice-principal and the Five Elders. But Duan QiTian was the type who was outside all year round, and only when he occasionally remembers will he wander back. In addition, every time he came back, he would bring chaos to the whole academy.

For example, the first day Duan QiTian came back, You XiaoMo met him on the way to class while he was collecting tolls.

At that time, many people had not known that he was back. Thus Ning Jing-daoshi had paled when she heard of his encounter with the old geezer, and advised him not to offend Duan QiTian. That old geezer was really too difficult. He was short-tempered, easily offended, and especially unreasonable. Therefore, many people were very afraid of him.

Duan QiTian had only accepted two disciples in his lifetime, one of which was the previously mentioned Qiu Ran.

As Duan QiTian’s disciple, Qiu Ran brought credit to Duan QiTian’s name, and was currently a level ten mage like his master.

As for the other disciple, there were rumors that his talent was higher than Qiu Ran. But as no one had seen him before, and Duan QiTian rarely brought him up, none knew of his current whereabouts.

However, one thing was certain – it was a great honor to be Duan QiTian’s apprentice.

Ling Xiao patted You XiaoMo’s head, and smirked, “Since that old geezer is a level ten mage, his collection must be big.”

You XiaoMo looked at him in astonishment, “Are you thinking of stealing his things?”

Ling Xiao changed his pat into a swat, and sharply replied, “You’ve already become his disciple and you still need me to steal things for you? Furthermore, that old geezer’s soul perception is quite strong. To secretly steal something from him is a bit difficult.”

You XiaoMo was instantly happy, “Haha, there’s finally something you cannot accomplish!”

Hearing this, Ling Xiao calmly gave his head a knock, “I didn’t hear what you said just now. Repeat what you just said.”

You XiaoMo held his head and shamefully surrendered, “You’ve heard it wrong. I said that you possess remarkable abilities, and no enemy is a match for you.”
