Master of Science and Technology - Chapter 32

Translator: Darling | Editor: Coming soon…

Jin Dasheng doesn’t despise Ye Zan, rather those lowly heroes. For the master of Jindan sect, killing a hero was not tiring than crushing an insect.

Though Jin Dasheng always attends literary competitions and was always called brother by those scholars, it’s just an enjoyment for him. In his eyes, those scholars and heroes were just like keeping crickets, he would play with them to relieve his boredom in his leisure, but it doesn’t really mean that he really took them seriously.

This kind of mentality was not rare, almost every cultivator has this mentality. And also because of this, this world has a much longer history than in the world of science and technology. Yet the way of living of ordinary people was falling behind like a medieval age in the world of science and technology. What’s harsh, was science and technology serve for the humankind, but only one could succeed in cultivating.

Of course, Ye Zan wasn’t thinking of changing the world now, since he still has many things to worry about, how could he still worry about other things? If there comes a day when he reaches elder Xuan Yuan stage back in those days, he wouldn’t mind losing those gadgets, to make the people enjoy the convenience brought by science and technology in this world. 

Now, when Ye Zan heard Jin Dasheng asked him, he smiled and said, “They were not suitable to be our match, this is the reason why I want to revise the list of names.”

“You will use them to replace the disciples in the list, is that what you mean?” Jin Dasheng finally understood it now, the heroes were certainly not capable but if they replaced them for some Yuqing disciples, they believe that they would succeed in the match.

But there’s still a problem, Jin Dasheng can’t help asking, “But wouldn’t it be easy for the four sects to win the match if they put those heroes on the list?”

But Ye Zan waved his hand, objecting it, he asked him, “Which do you think was more useful in Mijing, heroes or Yuqing disciples? If you replace your disciples with some heroes on the list, would you let them fight with heroes or disciples of a sect?

This is a tricky question.

Generally speaking, it’s often easy to choose who to challenge, but only the list of names would decide who could enter Mijing. Of course, heroes’ abilities were not as good as the abilities of true disciples, but it also means they could not be capable enough and might be beyond the disciples after they entered Mijing. So, since he wanted to weaken the other party, is there still a need to ask which will he get rid of between disciples and heroes?

Besides, even if the four sects were stung by their conscience, they would really choose the heroes of the four sects. On the part of Yuqing sect, they would not suffer losses even if the four disciples were included in the list and took the four places.

Of course, everything was established from the strength of Yuqing disciples. After all, strength was essential of all. The revision would be useless if the strength of Yuqing disciples was not good.

“Haha, very well, I would just let Yue Lin search for people, I would let them know what is called, trying to steal someone’s chicken but end up losing their rice.” Jin Dasheng doubts have disappeared, thinking how the four sects will react tomorrow, especially Luo Miao and Wang Lianshan’s reaction. He can’t help to be excited. 

In fact, if Yuqing sect won in this competition, it would be a loss for the four sects, since every sect could lose one place. But there are more than four places for Yuqing sect, it could be a big insult for them, no matter how much these four places could do. 

It didn’t take a long time when Yue Lin brought four people to Ye Zan and Jin Dasheng. The five, including Yue Lin, don’t yet know why Jin Dasheng looked for them. 

“You are not related to the assembly of the four sects but we’ll discuss today the list of names who could enter the Mijing. I intend to include you there, but I don’t know if you want to.” Jin Dasheng said seriously and blankly, he looked at the people standing in the hall.

There’s still a chance to enter Mijing? When they heard this, they got delighted. Everyone knows it’s an opportunity to enter Mijing, and for them, it’s a great opportunity. But they didn’t have the qualifications to enter there, until now. 

But the four can’t help but wonder why such a thing fell onto their heads. Mijing is an opportunity yet it is dangerous, the disciples cannot tell how safe it is inside the Mijing. Besides, it’s such a precious place, why would he let the ordinary heroes like them to enter Mijing? Who knows what Yuqing sect was planning, what if they were just using them as bait? 

The four hesitates in this thought. 

Jin Dasheng explained to them impatiently, he was already displeased the first time he saw how they act, he said, “If you’re willing, stay, if not, then leave. Yue Lin would look for those who are interested.”

The four men no longer hesitate when they hear this, but they have to associate with the cultivators if they would do this work. To put it bluntly, they don’t want to get this opportunity for free in case they got a chance to walk on the path of cultivating. The opportunity was in front of them now, though it’s dangerous, there’s a saying, no pain, no gain, one can’t gain something without taking a risk.

The four men knelt on the floor following a sound, they said in unison, “Master, please forgive us, we wish to hear you.”

The four men spoke as they kneel, Yue Lin suddenly stopped walking and Jin Dasheng expression lightly relaxed and waved his hand to him, hinting he doesn’t need to look for others, and said to the four men, “You don’t have to worry, it’s a good opportunity for you if you entered Mijing, give me your names and you could leave after this.”

The four men felt relieved, they bowed again immediately and gave their names, they left the room with a smile on their face.

After someday, Ye Zan and Jin Dasheng went to the camp of Qingyuejian sect and threw the revised list in front of four men.

When Wang Lianshan saw it, he quickly grabbed it and read carefully, he was surprised when he read it. Since they are aiming at the Yuqing sect, it’s only natural that they have some understanding about this sect, he just knew yesterday who are the disciples that Yuqing sect has chosen. But this list of names was different from what he found out, especially Ye Zan’s name was not on the list.

Luo Miao took the list from the side, he glanced at it then to Jin Dasheng and Ye Zan, he said, “Brother Jin, are you sure this is the list of names of Yuqing sect?”

“Is there a problem?” Jin Dasheng asked casually. 

“Master Ye, are you planning not to enter Mijing this time and just watch it?” 

Ye Zan smiled and said, “Of course I will enter, you’re prepared to get the place, didn’t you?” 

When Luo Miao and Wang Lianshan turned pale when they heard this, yet they can’t refute. When they were comparing who was greatest among the outsider in the sect that time, Luo Miao and Wang Lianshan realized Ye Zan’s strength, so it would be really difficult to keep guard on the places knowing the skills of these disciples.

But thinking of it again, so what if he gets the place? Ye Zan was not the only one in Yuqing sect, to be able to trick the Yuqing sect for the three places was already a victory. The matter would be settled when Li Fugui got the list. Wang Lianshan put a fake smile and said, “In that case, let’s just set the match in the afternoon, hope the disciples of Yuqing can endure the test.”

“Hehe, just wait and see.” Ye Zan said with a meaningful smile.
