...
Wang Ba stood before the Wanfa Peak, slightly taken aback.
He couldn't help but glance at Qu Shentong in his ocher cloak.
"Martial Uncle Qu, this..."
"Young man, take delight secretly. You bluntly rejected the marriage proposal of Master Qin's great-granddaughter in front of him. Had it not been for the Sect Master's protection, you would have been dead, regardless of having ten lives. The dignity of the practitioner who attains spiritual transformation is not to be trifaced lightly."
Qu Shentong shook his head.
Despite the stern tone, a hint of fondness tinged his voice.
His gaze on Wang Ba was filled with both admiration and a touch of regret.
If one were to say Wang Ba was as fearless as an inexperienced calf, it would hardly be plausible.
After all, he had journeyed from a small, rural kingdom. Had he been reckless, he would have perished long ago.
