Facing Lu Bei's shameless request for extras, Qin Ziyou firmly refused, urging him again to give up the 'Heavenly Rule Mystic Mirror Major Adjustment Skill', and choose a useful Divine Ability or Skill.
Qin Ziyou treated Lu Bei well. He secretly assigned him the championship, allowed him to collect rewards in advance, indulged Lu Bei's antics on the ring, gifted him the Heavenly Sword Sect's Nine-Tailed Dragon Fish, and guided him with his senior experiences to choose a Skill.
With all the hassle, it was no wonder idle gossip suggested that Lu Bei and him were distant relatives.
Even Lu Bei himself found it strange. The relative thing was obviously impossible; Qin Ziyou's over-attention definitely meant a female disciple he was trying to get rid of was hanging around.
There were quite a few candidates if he were a bit bolder.
