There is no Redemption for A Scum Villain

Chapter 60

In all these weeks that had passed, Shen Qingqiu had been terribly on edge. It was unclear if they would find enough information to safely accuse the Palace Master of such an influential sect as Huan Hua Palace of something like immoral behavior. To claim that he had lied to the whole human race, causing death and pain just to rid himself of a man who had merely lived his life and fallen in love with a woman. It just had to be the young woman this old man started to fancy. His own disciple...

Shen Qingqiu had almost started to believe that the Palace Master genuinely had been good enough to hide even the last piece of scum sticking to his greasy fingers. But no one could be that good. At least not good enough to hide it from Shen Qingqiu.

After enough digging and following back this man's whole family history, he uncovered quite an amount of dirt that this man had failed to hide from his eyes.

This was quite the discovery. Right in the evening Shen Qingqiu would have told Yue Qingyuan about it, letting him have a part of the calming knowledge that they had something in their hands and could finally kick their plan into action.

However, it seemed like his husband had other plans for the day.

"Liu-shidi approached me earlier," he announced a bit tiredly, "He asked to spar. I feel like we have been sitting in this study for too long. Why don't we take a bit of a break. I'm sure you'd like to test how you would do against him, now that you are where you should always have been with your powers."

Yue Qingyuan genuinely thought Shen Qingqiu would deny. He always had every time he made an offer to take a break, rather working himself to the bone instead. That was why he was so surprised that Shen Qingqiu immediately reacted quite motivated.

It was to be expected that many people would appear on Bai Zhan Peak, the moment they heard that not only two peak lords would show off their skills, but three. And one of them was Shen Qingqiu who had already won once against the Bai Zhan peak lord, even when he claimed that he wouldn't have, had Liu Qingge not declared loss.

For the first fight, Shen Qingqiu sat on the side, watching just like the others. Next to him were quite a couple of his disciple siblings. Even Qi Qingqi, who was still feeling under the weather, had come over to watch.

Shen Qingqiu almost laughed aloud, when Qi Qingqi poked her stomach and spoke to her unborn child. "Listen to me, little one. I don't care what your father will say to you, but look at these men," she paused, like she expected the fetus to look through the wall of her belly, "Watch them closely. That is the skill I expect from you. That."

"Poor little one. Already getting expectations thrown at them and they can't even scream yet," Wei Qingwei commented.

"Set the expectations high or they will think they can be lazy. That is what my teacher taught me," Qi Qingqi defended herself.

"You're setting that kid up to disappoint you. To have Zhangmen-shixiong's skill? Even Liu-shidi is already skilled enough that most people wouldn't reach that level in their lifetime. You are bound to be disappointed in this child," Wei Qingwei joked in reply.

"Disappointed," Qi Qingqi snorted, "Of course not."

Wei Qingwei nodded. "Of course you would love them reg–"

"Because this child is mine it will naturally be skilled enough," Qi Qingqi continued..

"Oi, poor fetus..." Wei Qingwei sighed.

"Yes, poor fetus. She even reads it cultivation manuals and various other books from Qing Jing Peak..." Mu Qingfang said exhaustedly.

"Is that so?" Shen Qingqiu asked, "Can I expect it to be enrolled in my peak then when it is older?"
