The Crazy Son-In-Law

“This is…”

After Xiao Shun left, Gao Qiu looked at the pill in his hand with a face full of astonishment.

Although he was not an alchemist, under the influence of the Old School Society, he had accumulated some knowledge about pills.

Suppressing his shock, he gently smelled the pill at his nose.

Instantly, a refreshing fragrance rushed into his body, temporarily easing the intense pain he felt all over.

After a while, he opened his eyes, still as shocked as before.

Muttering to himself, “It is indeed a Consolidation Pill, a rare pill for repairing and strengthening the meridians and foundation of a cultivator!”

Looking at the direction Xiao Shun left, Gao Qiu couldn’t help but gaze with a strange gleam in his eyes.

Then, as if making a certain decision, he nodded heavily and swallowed the pill.

At that moment, a slightly injured senior approached Gao Qiu cautiously, asking, “Mr. Gao, are you alright?”

“The Unification Phalanx is indeed powerful, but the backlash after it’s broken is something no ordinary person can bear.”

The first to suffer from it is usually the eye of the formation, with severe cases leading to death and lighter ones causing the meridians to break!

However, Gao Qiu’s casual response left the senior puzzled.

“I’m fine, don’t worry.”

“Mr. Gao…”

Gao Qiu waved his hand, “No need to say more, Mr. Xiao gave me a Consolidation Pill earlier, and after taking it, my injuries will heal.”

“Eh?”

Hearing this, several seniors were dumbfounded.

They didn’t pay attention to Xiao Shun and Gao Qiu’s conversation earlier, as they were dealing with their own injuries from the broken formation and didn’t have time to focus on other things.

Gao Qiu sighed heavily and spoke.

“Even in the Old School Society, the ‘Consolidation Pill’ is a priceless treasure. Even we seniors rarely have the chance to use it. But Xiao Shun unexpectedly took one out later, which is truly astonishing!”

“If this kid didn’t have some skills, do you think people like Zhou Tianheng and Ning Zhiyuan would go to join him?”

“Don’t forget, Xiao Shun mentioned during their school opening that he would establish the ‘Pellet Pavilion’ and even declared at the meeting that there would be a grand event for selling pills during the spring. It’s obvious he wants to compete with the Old School Society in pill refining!”

“Ah, I didn’t expect that in such a short time, the ‘New School Society’ would already become unstoppable!”

Upon hearing this, everyone was at a loss.

As senior members of the Old School Society, they deeply understood the challenges the society was facing.

Xiao Shun was clearly using the Old School Society’s outdated management system to draw in more followers.

Not to mention others, even the several present had considered defecting to the New School Society. If it weren’t for the fear of losing their senior status by going to the other side, half of them would probably not have been present today.

At that moment, with the help of his colleagues, Gao Qiu stood up.

He spoke loudly, “Listen to me, everyone!”

Thinking that Gao Qiu was going to ask everyone to help Master Nie set up a formation, some seniors who were only interested in their own gains began to back down.

“Mr. Gao, forget it. Even if we go up now, we won’t be able to help Master Nie in that level of battle. We’re all injured and the formation can’t be activated again. It’s better to stay here.”

“You misunderstand me.”

Gao Qiu smiled wryly and waved his hand, indicating that was not his intention.

“Mr. Gao, what do you mean?”

The people were puzzled, all looking at the strange expression on Gao Qiu’s face.

“Earlier, when Mr. Xiao and I had a conversation, it made me realize something important, and after much consideration, I have something to say that I can no longer keep to myself!” Gao Qiu said calmly.

The seniors were doubtful, urging him to speak.

“Please go ahead!”

“May I ask, what is everyone’s view of the Old School Society now?”

As soon as he asked the question, Gao Qiu noticed that no one answered him.

Seeing his hesitant colleagues, he smiled lightly.

“Heh, the one asking you this question is Gao Qiu, not a senior from the Old School Society, so feel free to speak your minds.”

At this point, the crowd erupted in discussion.

As high-ranking seniors, who among them wasn’t astute?

With Gao Qiu’s words, everyone suddenly realized something.

So, those seniors who were already disillusioned with the martial world began to express their opinions one after another.

Some mentioned the dwindling resources for cultivation, some complained about the leadership’s interference with their work, and some even expressed outrage at the plan for the Cliffside trip.Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

After all, they were all important figures. Master Nie actually made them dismantle the ‘Hanging Flask Inn,’ which was a bit too much!

Upon hearing this accusation, Gao Qiu’s face stiffened, feeling ashamed.

It was his plan that he presented to Nie Jiuchong.

In fact, his original intention was not to actually demolish the ‘Hanging Flask Inn,’ but to lure Xiao Shun to Cliffside and vent some anger on the Old School Society.

Looking back now, he felt a sense of shame, even starting to despise himself.

Watching his outraged colleagues, Gao Qiu also began to understand their intentions, so he asked knowingly, “What are your plans for the future then?”

A burly senior immediately declared his stance, “Since we’ve come to this point, I won’t hide it anymore. If Mr. Xiao can escape from Master Nie’s hands today, I will immediately go to Harrow and join the New School Society!”

“That’s right, I was just talking about it. Old School Society in recent years is simply unbearable. Even this senior feels like his backbone is being twisted!”

“I’ve been interested in some of the policies of the New School Society for a while now. I just don’t know if Mr. Xiao will give me a chance to get to know more.”

After his words, he raised his head and looked towards the summit of the mountain.

Seeing this, everyone followed suit.

Gao Qiu suddenly chuckled, “Heh, I’m thinking the same as you. Regardless of today’s outcome, I will join the New School Society, not as a traitor, but to clean up!”

With that, he also looked up at the misty summit of Cliffside, paying no attention to the strange looks from his colleagues.

Gao Qiu had not realized before that the Old School Society was already having so many internal discordant voices.

Today had truly been an eye-opener for him.

With a disaffected Old School Society like this, how could they compete with the New School Society in the future?

At that moment, he suddenly felt that a sentence Xiao Shun said before was very right. Even without Xiao Shun and the ‘New School Society,’ someone would eventually emerge to overthrow the Old School Society!
