Chapter 65: What? You Really Signed Me Up For the Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet?

Outside the Sincere Gold pawnshop, Shi Liangjin watched the two women leave with an enthusiastic grin on his face.

The two women walked towards the inn one after the other.

“Miss, you are finally satisfied this time, right? Tsk, tsk, I’m getting really curious about what Householder Qing Lian looks like. I hope he isn’t a horrid old fogy, or that’ll be really sad for you.”

The two figures attracted a lot of attention on the street.

The woman in blue didn’t sense anything strange and simply chatted with the woman in green.

“If he’s a horrid old fogy, so be it. I admire the painting and the literary skills of Householder Qing Lian, not him as a person. After we left the palace, I mean, after we left the residence, you’ve been mocking me non-stop. Once we go back, I’ll get someone to find out the whereabouts of Householder Qing Lian. If he’s really a horrid old man, I’ll make you marry him.”

The woman in green chuckled.

After she said that, the latter had a bitter expression.

“Miss, it’s my fault. I shouldn’t have made fun of you. Please don’t betroth me to an old man.”

As she spoke, she looked extremely pitiful.

“That depends on whether you still make fun of me in the future.”

The woman in green laughed a little.

“Miss, don’t worry. I’ll never make fun of you again. By the way, we’ve been away from home for almost a month. We can stay out for a month and a half at most. Before coming here, I’ve already come up with a strategy. The Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet is beginning soon, should we go and watch?”

The woman in blue asked.

“Of course we have to go. After this trip, who knows when we can go out again? Let’s not fly there this time. We’ll walk instead and enjoy the beautiful landscape and scenery of the mountains and rivers, and taste the delicacies here. That’d be more meaningful than flying around.”

The woman in green said.

“Okay, I’ll arrange everything according to your wishes.”

After she said that, they arrived at the inn.

At the Qingyun Dao Sect.

Ye Ping sat under the rear cliff.

He looked at the sword mark on the ground with full concentration.

It was a new sword mark that Su Changyu had drawn.

However, after staring at it for an entire day, Ye Ping could not really comprehend any sword moves.

That made him feel complicated again.

He couldn’t comprehend a new sword technique.

He did not get anxious. He understood the logic of more haste less speed, and if he really comprehend the sword technique, he would have to stabilize his mindset and stay calm.

Ten hours passed.

Ye Ping drew out his sword, but he didn’t use the Green Moon sword. Instead, he took out the sword that Su Changyu had given him previously and began cultivating the basic sword technique.

Stab!

Swing!

Chop!

Slash!

That was the basic stance of the Sword Dao. If it were anyone else, they would probably be bewildered. If he had already comprehended the Four Thunder Sword Technique, why would he still practice the basic sword technique?

However, Ye Ping knew clearly what Su Changyu’s purpose was.

What was the basic sword technique?

It was the origin of all sword moves and techniques.

That was the basic sword technique.

Regardless of how impressive and impeccable the sword techniques in the world might be, they were all evolved from the basic sword techniques.

Hence, the more solid one’s basic technique was, the better it would be for future development.

That was also the very reason that Ye Ping didn’t underestimate the basic sword moves. In fact, he focused entirely on each and every one of them.

Ye Ping was extremely fast.

In one breath, he would be able to launch 72 sword attacks.

That was akin to 15 sword moves in one second.

If he had enhanced it with Dharmic powers, it would have been even faster.

Ye Ping was so fast that as he approached the end, it was barely possible to see his sword clearly with the naked eye.

Time passed little by little.

Ten days passed.

It was less than a month before the Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet.

During the past ten days, Ye Ping relied on the Torch Dragon Immortal Apertures to break through.

During the ten hours of comprehension a day, he also relied on the Torch Dragon Immortal Apertures to double the time.

Unfortunately, even so, he did not comprehend the sword technique that Su Changyu had mentioned.

Although he didn’t comprehend the new sword move, Ye Ping comprehended other things.

Constantly practicing the basic sword technique had made Ye Ping’s understanding of the Sword Dao clearer.

He felt that he would be even stronger than before if he could execute the Four Thunder Sword Technique.

In the past ten days, Su Changyu also visited a few times, but he didn’t say anything and simply looked at him quietly.

Just like that, he continued all the way until late at night.

It was very peaceful in the Qingyun Dao Sect late at night.

On the front cliff, Xu Luochen stood alone like he had been in the ten-odd days.

At this moment, a familiar figure appeared.

It was Su Changyu.

It was late and dark at night.

There were not many stars above in the sky. The moon was white and the stars seemed lackluster.

Looking at the approaching Su Changyu, Xu Luochen couldn’t help but feel touched.

After more than ten days, finally someone came to counsel him.

He was somewhat moved.

“Eldest Senior Brother, you don’t need to comfort me or anything. I understand. I just want to be alone.”

Xu Luochen’s tone was gentle and warm. For the past ten-odd days, he had been sulking in melancholy, but that also made him realize some things and he was gradually getting over it.

However, Su Changyu, who walked up to the front cliff, froze a little.

He looked at Xu Luochen casually and said, “I’m not here to comfort you.”

Su Changyu was a little shocked because he wasn’t at the front cliff for Xu Luochen.

Xu Luochen was at a loss for words.

‘What are you here for then?’

‘Are you here to see me make a fool out of myself?’

‘Su Changyu, what right do you have to make fun of me?’

‘Aren’t you a loser compared to Little Junior Brother too?’

Xu Luochen felt even more depressed.

However, before he could ask, Su Changyu raised his hands and gazed at the sky.

All of a sudden, Xu Luochen was stunned.

‘What do you mean?’

‘Is this severe depression?’

“Eldest Senior Brother? What are you doing?”

Xu Luochen was really a bit puzzled as he didn’t understand what Su Changyu was there for.

“It’s none of your business. Go sulk at the side, don’t disturb me when I’m practicing.”

Su Changyu was practicing the Ancient Godfiend Body Tempering Technique and didn’t bother paying attention to Xu Luochen. He had completely gotten over it.

However, no matter what, he was the one who taught Ye Ping the Sword Dao and from now on, the better Ye Ping became, the happier he would be.

Thinking of this, Su Changyu couldn’t help but smile.

However, all of it seemed bizarre to Xu Luochen.

‘Eldest Senior Brother, are you out of your mind?’

Xu Luochen was stunned.

Although he had been dealt a fatal blow, he would at least just mull over it alone, but now, Su Changyu was completely out of his mind.

Somehow, Xu Luochen took pity on Su Changyu.

Perhaps, he empathized with him because they were in the same boat.

Thinking of this, Xu Luochen continued being depressed again.

Some time later, Xu Luochen walked towards the distance. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to disturb Su Changyu, but because Su Changyu’s occasional laughter gave him the goosebumps.

On the front cliff, Chen Lingrou and Wang Zhuoyu quietly watched everything.

In particular, Chen Lingrou was frowning as she looked at the two of them.

Her eyes were full of puzzlement.

She couldn’t understand what was going on. In the past few days, Xu Luochen had been standing at the cliff and now, Su Changyu was there too. He even got into an odd stance, which just made it even stranger.

She really couldn’t figure it out.

“Senior Brother Wang, go talk to Eldest Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother, and find out what happened. Why have they become so neurotic and out of sorts ever since Little Junior Brother arrived?”

Chen Lingrou’s eyes were filled with curiosity.

Holding a book in his hand, Wang Zhuoyu looked at the two people on the cliff and said indifferently, “I guess it’s about Little Junior Brother.”

“Your Senior Brothers are really getting worse. Lingrou, don’t learn from them. You have to practice hard, the position of the Sect Leader might be yours in the future.”

Wang Zhuoyu said as he looked at the two of them.

“Really? Senior Brother Wang, you’re not lying to me, are you?”

Hearing about the position of the Sect Leader, Chen Lingrou’s beautiful eyes lit up.

“If the two of them go on like this, it’s basically set in stone. None of the rest of us like managing the sect and you can forget about Eldest Senior Sister. Even if she wants to be the Sect Leader, Master will not hand the position to her.”

“After thinking about it, I realized that you’re the only one who can rise to the position, but you have to train hard, don’t be like them, got it?”

Wang Zhuoyu said solemnly.

“Yes. Third Senior Brother, don’t worry, I’ll definitely practice well.”

Chen Lingrou nodded seriously.

Just like that, it lasted till early morning.

After Su Changyu kept his hands raised for a long time, they turned sore and numb, but the thought of being able to enhance his looks made him feel much better.

“Luochen, do you see any changes in me? Have I become more handsome?”

Su Changyu spun his arms while calling out to Xu Luochen in the distance.

The latter did not answer Su Changyu’s question.

Instead, he silently left the cliff while muttering incessantly.

“Senior Brother has really become a nutcase. Master, it seems that you have to pass on the position of the Sect Leader to me even if you don’t want to.”

Xu Luochen said to himself.

At this moment, a figure appeared at the bottom of the cliff.

It was Daoist Tai Hua’s figure.

“Changyu!”

Daoist Tai Hua’s voice startled Su Changyu.

“What’s wrong?”

Su Changyu looked at Daoist Tai Hua curiously.

With a smile, Daoist Tai Hua took out two tokens from his pocket mysteriously.

“Changyu, I made a trip down the mountain today and signed you and Ye Ping up for the Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet.”

Daoist Tai Hua was all smiles.

At the next moment, Su Changyu froze in shock.

‘Huh?’

‘Signed me up for the Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet?’

‘No way. Master, you took my words seriously?’
