The Master of the Chain Sect
Chapter 71 The Master of the Chain Sect
The old man in front of me had a head of white hair, but his body was very strong. His biceps were so big they almost stretched his sleeves open, making him look as tall as 2.3 meters.
As for his appearance, he had small eyes, a wide nose, and large lips. Ye Jingqiu felt that the old man looked somewhat familiar, and it took her a while to realize that he looked a bit like a gorilla.
She tilted her head in surprise and looked at Lu Si'en, who stood there, still looking like a noble young master.
"Sect Master," Lu Si'en bowed.
Ye Jingqiu realized what was happening and quickly bowed, mimicking Lu Si'en's gesture, saying, "Greetings, Sect Master. I am Ye Jingqiu, Lu Si'en's classmate. It's a pleasure to meet you."
"Alright, I am Lu Fangbin, Lu Si'en's grandfather, and also the current sect leader of the Chain Sect. Just call me Grandpa. Lu Si'en has been a fool since he was little, don't learn from him. Are you from the Soul-Seizing Sect?"
Ye Jingqiu froze, unsure how to explain to Lu Fangbin. After all, she had noticed along the way that Bai Baitai seemed to have always thought she was from the Soul-Seizing Sect, and she didn't know what Lu Si'en had told him.
Lu Si'en said, "Sect Master, Qiu Qiu's martial soul is the Sheling Sect, and her surname is Ye. Based on my guess, she should be the daughter of one of the current Sect Master's two sons."
"But..." Lu Si'en hesitated, unable to finish his sentence.
Lu Fangbin waved his hand and said, "Lu Si'en, just say what you want to say. Your grandpa isn't an unreasonable person."
"Qiuqiu's mother died early, and she was adopted and raised. Her mother said that her father had passed away. I suspect that one of the two people may have lied to Qiuqiu's mother."
Lu Fangbin's expression changed. "What? The Soul-Seizing Sect actually did something like this? Well, those two juniors looked respectable, but I never expected them to do such despicable things."
After a pause, Lu Fangbin looked at Ye Jingqiu with a pained expression, "Don't worry, little guy, I will definitely get an explanation for you. What the Soul-Seizing Sect did was really unethical."
Ye Jingqiu was stunned, feeling a surge of emotion. She hadn't expected Lu Fangbin to be so willing to help her.
Lu Fangbin said, "Don't worry, I'll send someone to find the Soul-Seizing Sect right away. Although they have disappeared from the world again, they couldn't have appeared without leaving any traces."
He said gently, "Young lady, don't worry. You can stay with our Chain Sect for now. Once we have news about the Soul-Seizing Sect, I'll take you to them to demand an explanation!"
Lu Fangbin looked furious, clearly annoyed.
Ye Jingqiu looked at Lu Fangbin with gratitude and said, "Thank you, Grandpa." Ye Jingqiu genuinely called him "Grandpa."
Lu Fangbin nodded with satisfaction, then winked at Lu Si'en and said, "Lu Si'en, take Qiuqiu to rest first. Leave the matter of finding that old bastard from the Soul-Seizing Sect to me."
"Yes, Sect Master." Lu Si'en led Ye Jingqiu out.
Ye Jingqiu discovered that not only was the exterior of the Chain Sect made of white jade, but even the tables, chairs, and beds in the resting rooms were made of white jade.
The Spirit Hall is incredibly wealthy, but it seems the Chain Sect is just as rich. How much money must that huge piece of white jade cost?
No, this seems to be a single piece; no amount of money could get you that much.
Ye Jingqiu asked curiously, "Lu Si'en, what's the deal with this white jade?"
Lu Si'en had no intention of hiding anything from Ye Jingqiu. He slowly said, "Many years ago, a god emerged from our sect. This white jade is a divine relic he left behind before he went to the God Realm."
"God?" Ye Jingqiu looked at Lu Si'en in confusion.
Lu Si'en said, "Actually, I'm not entirely sure what happened, but I heard the sect leader say when I was a child that a Soul Master can only become a god after reaching level 100."
"Level 100?" Ye Jingqiu was surprised. The strongest she had ever seen was Qian Daoliu, but he was only level 99. If he reached level 100, could he also become a god? "Does reaching level 100 guarantee becoming a god?"
Lu Si'en sighed, "Logically speaking, that's how it is, but actually, your Soul-Seizing Sect's sect leader is a level 99 Peerless Douluo, but as far as I know, he seems to be unable to become a god."
Isn't the sect leader of the Soul-Seizing Sect her grandfather?
Ye Jingqiu looked at Lu Si'en in confusion, "Why?"
"It seems that in addition to reaching level 100, one must also receive a divine inheritance to become a god. Only by successfully inheriting the divine position can one become a god. I also guess it is related to talent. I heard that the sect leader of the Soul-Seizing Sect only has a level nine innate soul power."
"The fact that the Sect Master of the Soul-Seizing Sect has become a Peerless Douluo must have required tremendous effort, but becoming a god is definitely not an easy path." Lu Si'en looked at Ye Jingqiu with a serious expression. "Becoming a god has always been my goal as well."
Ye Jingqiu was slightly taken aback, then smiled slightly, "You will definitely get what you want, Lu Si'en."
Lu Si'en just smiled and didn't say anything more. There was something in his eyes when he looked at Ye Jingqiu that Lu Si'en couldn't understand.
"You get some rest, I'm leaving now." With that, Lu Si'en quickly left. Although Ye Jingqiu felt a little strange, she didn't think much of it.
She was exhausted after traveling for so many days, so she lay down on the bed and went to sleep.
I slept straight through to the next morning.

When she came out, Yue Guan and Gui Mei were already sitting at the table waiting for her.
There was no one else around at the moment, and Yue Guan and Gui Mei's faces were no longer covered, revealing their true appearances. Lu Si'en was quite considerate and arranged for the three of them to stay in a courtyard.
Ye Jingqiu smiled apologetically and said, "Uncle Ju, Uncle Gui, I'm sorry I woke up late."
Yue Guan waved his hand and said with a smile, "It's alright, we just got up, and the food has been ready for a short time. Since we're here, let's eat."
Ye Jingqiu nodded, then took out a steamed bun and started eating.
Remembering Lu Si'en's words, Ye Jingqiu hesitated for a moment before asking, "Uncle Ju, Uncle Gui, do you two know about becoming a god at level 100?"
Yue Guan nodded. "I understand."
Ye Jingqiu asked curiously, "Have you two ever thought about becoming gods?"
Yue Guan and Gui Mei exchanged a glance, then Gui Mei teased, "Qiu Qiu, do you think becoming a god is that simple?"
Ye Jingqiu was puzzled, "You two are already at level 95, reaching godhood at level 100. Is it really impossible to reach level 100 if you work hard?"
The ghost said, "Becoming a god at level 100 is still just a legend. So far, there are many titled Douluo in the entire Douluo Continent, including many with great talent. However, no one has yet broken through level 99 to reach level 100. So whether they will become gods is still an unknown."
Recalling Lu Si'en's words, Ye Jingqiu looked at the two and asked, "What if someone on the Douluo Continent really did become a god?"
