I've Led The Villain Astray, How Do I Fix It?

Chapter 44

“For you,” Wei Qing was very straight-forward. He raised his hand and threw over a green jade pendant. This was something he had snatched from a black-clothed cultivator. Although that black-clothed cultivator was pretty strong, he was still a bit stronger than them. Thus, after they had lost, they left behind this green jade pendant.

Xu ZiYan felt very surprised. He had never expected that Wei Qing would be this straight-forward about admitting defeat. In his opinion, with how haughty Wei Qing was, it was truly abnormal if the two of them didn’t risk their lives in a ‘you live, I die’ battle.

Wei Qing gave him an indifferent glance. “If we fight against each other, it’ll only allow other people to benefit.”

Xu ZiYan raised an eyebrow. Was this…… Wei Qing’s way of acknowledging his strength?

Of course, Xu ZiYan understood that it they both really fought to the death, it would be hard to predict who would win. After all, a large reason he had won today was because Wei Qing had underestimated him too much.

Now that his opponent had already adequately understood his strength, Xu ZiYan was afraid that should they encounter each other again in the future, winning against Wei Qing wouldn’t be this easy. After all, although his lightning arrows were quite powerful and sharp, it wasn’t like there wasn’t a way to counter them.

“In that case, thank you,” Xu ZiYan raised the green jade pendant in his hand and gave Wei Qing a beaming smile.

Wei Qing frowned slightly, although the furrow in his forehead quickly disappeared. His teacher had once told him before that should he continue to cultivate within Great Liang’s Imperial Reign, he could only do so by walking on his difficult path by himself, never knowing the vastness of the world outside.

There was never a lack of geniuses like him and Xiahou Lian in this world. However, if they did not compete with each other, there was a great chance that geniuses would disappear and turn into normal people.

With his personality, his genius talent could only reach its full potential under the pressure of intense competition.

When Wei Qing remembered how his teacher had assessed him, he couldn’t help but frown again. His teacher had told him before that he was too haughty and proud. Apart from his need to improve himself from continuous practice, he needed some ‘friends’ who could constantly correct his ways. Otherwise, in the future, he wouldn’t be able to walk far on his path of cultivation.

However, even though he knew himself the best and knew that he needed some friends, it was impossible for Wei Qing to throw away his arrogance and go make friends with people that were clearly inferior to him.

After pondering about this for a bit, he realized that within the candidates of this exam, only a few were ‘qualified’ to be his friend. In addition, his Wei family had always been at odds with the Xiahou family. Thus, he and Xiahou Lian were the same and were naturally enemies. It was impossible for that fact to change.

On the other hand, that boy from the Hu family always had a gloomy expression on his face. He practically gave people the impression that he was an unlucky guy. Wei Qing really didn’t think too highly of him either.

After comparing people like this, Wei Qing suddenly felt that Xu ZiYan, this guy who had appeared abnormally, was at least somewhat pleasing to the eyes……

Wei Qing began sizing Xu ZiYan up as he considered the possibility of becoming his friend.

On the other hand, Xu ZiYan was feeling some goosebumps from this terrifying guy’s constant staring. Thus, he dryly coughed twice before he turned around, intending to leave. However, who would have expected that before he could leave, Wei Qing suddenly raised his head. Giving Xu ZiYan a serene look, Wei Qing said, “I permit you to become my friend.”(HUAHUASASHASJAJHAHAHHAHAH LADIES AND GENTLEMEN I PRESENT TO YOU LIU QINGGE OF THIS NOVEL)
