Phantom Spear - C190

Previously, he mentioned that after Yan Kuo bid farewell to his group, he would return to the Virtuous Talent Gathering Hall to see about Yue Xingchen’s injuries, and would also conveniently tell him about Jiang Feng’s departure. Yue Xingchen’s body had already recovered quite a bit, but for the sake of caution, it was better to rest quietly for half a month before getting out of bed. When Yue Xingchen found out that Jiang Feng was going to Henan to ask for experts to help, he suggested that everyone in the Virtuous Talent Gathering Hall should not stay idle. Instead, they should formulate a few battle plans to deal with some changes. However, Yan Kuo and Lin Ziquan both insisted on letting him heal his injuries first before they studied these things again. Yue Xingchen could only listen to them helplessly. Lin Ziquan did not actually want them to get involved, but when Yue Xingchen said that as a person, one must know how to repay favors, he did not say anymore.

In the closest inn to the capital, Gui Xuerou was drinking a cup of fragrant tea while her mount was grazing by her side. The inn was a temporary resting place for the merchants and the people who were passing information to and from the officials. The fees were fixed, but the service was extremely smooth, Gui Xuerou was afraid that she would get lost if she went too far, so she decided to wait here for Jiang Feng and the others. A postman suddenly walked over and asked, “Lady, you have already been here for a long time. Have the people you were waiting for not arrived yet?” Gui Xuerou looked at him flirtatiously and said: “Yo, this big brother, girl, I want to stay here for a while to see you, is that not okay?” Seeing her look, the postman immediately became anxious. He stuttered and said: “This, this, miss, I, we are here to provide temporary resting places for merchants and officials. You, you are a girl, if you want to wait for someone, please go somewhere else. Otherwise, if someone is gossiping, we can’t report to the higher ups.” Gui Xuerou looked at him as she stood up, she then spoke out: “Brother, I will stay for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, if my friends still do not come, I will leave by myself, okay?” Since she had already said this much, how could the postman refuse? He could only serve her another pot of fragrant tea and let her sit there and wait. He couldn’t help but shake his head and sigh, mumbling to himself, “I’m really useless.” Gui Xuerou laughed sinisterly and continued to look outside.

Inside the Qing Xu Sect of Henan, Du Shaoyang was practicing his sword skills at the back of the mountain. Lee Qingshuang slowly walked over. She carried the basket and found a clean rock to sit on, quietly looking at Du Shaoyang. Du Shaoyang waved the sword in his right hand, and immediately switched to his left hand that was sticking to the ground. Previously, when Jiang Feng was chatting with him, he talked about using the words “Sun’s Martial Art” to evaluate the sword wielding experts he had met before. He described the term “unknown as dark” as Du Shaoyang and his Clear Muddle Qi Sword Technique. Suddenly, Du Shaoyang climbed up the tree. He put away the Dust Sealing Sword and tied it behind him. He thought to himself: The sword technique from before was a little off target. If I met a strong opponent, I still wouldn’t be able to completely master it. Yin Yang, the five elements, the eight trigrams, and the nine palaces. It was rare to find such a thing that couldn’t be combined together. He had a feeling that he would be at a loss. Heh, I heard from someone that White-haired Devil Child is able to quickly absorb the strengths of other people’s sword techniques and discard his own weaknesses. Therefore, every time he fights, he would have to be slightly stronger. If we were to be defeated by him this time, our Qing Xu Sect’s reputation would not be in vain. I’m afraid that in the future, it would be very difficult for anyone in the martial arts world to suppress this person. Thinking of this, he habitually used the finger on his right hand to look at his temple. His eyebrows creased, and he yelled, “It’s really troublesome, can’t it be a little simpler?” His voice was loud, and in addition to the trees in the open forest at the back of the mountain, the sound of his words was mixed with the sound of the wind. The birds in the forest seemed to be frightened and flew up one after another. Du Shaoyang looked at the birds that were flying in the sky and could not help but sigh: “Birds, oh birds, if only you could take me away.”

At this time, Lee Qingshuang placed the basket on the rock and walked over to the tree where Du Shaoyang was sitting. She cleared her throat slightly, purposely using her heavy voice to say, “Du Shaoyang, how long do you want to sit there for? After Du Shaoyang heard this, he was slightly surprised, but he still maintained his composure and said: “Seeking the sword, a clear conscience.” After he finished speaking, he couldn’t help but look under the tree. Lee Qingshuang also raised her head and the two of them looked at each other. She smiled and said: “Big Brother Shaoyang, just how long do you still want to sit there for, I have been waiting for you for a long time.” Du Shaoyang’s face revealed a trace of guilt, he laughed foolishly and used the Lightness Exercise to jump down from the tree. He scratched the back of his head and said: “Qing, so it’s you, I thought it was Martial Uncle. I was wondering why Martial Uncle’s voice had become much sharper today, haha.” Lee Qingshuang saw that he still liked to joke around, and said: “Big Brother Shaoyang, are you disrespecting Uncle Great Void? I heard it, when we go back, I will tell Uncle Great Void that he will definitely punish you with copying the ‘Classic of Virtue’ ten times over. ” Du Shaoyang revealed a bitter face, and said: “Ah? “No way, I can pretty much recite that kind of annoying stuff backwards.” Lee Qingshuang questioned: “Alright then, since the Big Brother Shaoyang can recite them backwards, you can recite them for me.” Du Shaoyang’s eyes rolled around as he said, “Qing, I don’t remember it too clearly.” Lee Qingshuang’s face revealed displeasure, and said: “Big Brother Shaoyang, didn’t you just say that you could memorize everything back then?” Du Shaoyang laughed sinisterly: “That’s right, but if I were to be carried on my back, I won’t be able to, haha.” Lee Qingshuang was also amused by him, she covered his face and laughed. Du Shaoyang moved his nose and said: “Oh right, Qing, did you bring me some delicious food? I smell it.” Lee Qingshuang smiled and brought him over, she took out two steamed buns and a bunch of towels from the basket, Du Shaoyang quickly took the steamed buns and started to gnaw on it, and said while eating: En, delicious, our Qing Xu Sect’s steamed buns are always so delicious, it’s so fragrant, you can smell it from far away. Seeing that he ate like a child, Lee Qingshuang was also very happy in her heart. She used a towel to wipe his sweat.

Du Shaoyang looked like he was choking on food, his face was in pain, but Lee Qingshuang laughed: “Look at you, who made you eat so anxiously, and no one is fighting with you over it.” Du Shaoyang danced as he gestured for Lee Qingshuang to hurry up and give him the water. Lee Qingshuang did not dare to be careless, and retrieved a bottle gourd from the basket and fed it to him. After a while, as if she had been relieved from a burden, Du Shaoyang let out a long breath and said: “Phew, that was close, I almost choked to death just now. Qing, luckily you were here.” Lee Qingshuang said in displeasure: “Let’s see if you still dare to eat so much in the future.” Du Shaoyang laughed: “Haha, I am me. If you don’t eat well, then it’s not me.” Every day, after Du Shaoyang finished his breakfast, he would go to the back mountain alone to practice his sword skills. Lee Qingshuang saw everything, and knew that he had worked hard so she brought a dessert she made herself to reward him. Lee Qingshuang would not come early, she was afraid that it might affect her training. Du Shaoyang was a person who was afraid of trouble, but if he could not avoid trouble, then he would work hard and strive to be the best. Furthermore, he did not like being disturbed by outsiders when he was engrossed in something. Lee Qingshuang naturally knew this, which was why she came here rather late every day. When she arrived and saw how focused Du Shaoyang was in practicing, she did not disturb him.

Lee Qingshuang looked at the familiar face in front of her, her heart inexplicably felt safe and comfortable. In her heart, she did not like the conflict between the martial arts world and their martial arts world, she was not good at fighting for power, she liked living a peaceful and comfortable life. After living in Qing Xu Sect for so many years, she felt very fortunate. She hoped that it would always be like this in the future, because it was simply too dangerous outside. Last time, when she only went to the feet of the Son of Heaven, so many unhappy things had happened, and she did not want similar things to happen again. She did not wish for anyone beside her to be harmed, especially Du Shaoyang.

After Du Shaoyang finished eating, he pulled Lee Qingshuang to sit down, and said slowly: “Qing, recently, I’ve allocated a bit too much time for sword practice, so I might have less time to accompany you, you won’t blame me right?” Lee Qingshuang looked at his serious expression and said: “Of course not, it’s just that you have to pay more attention to your body, Big Brother Shaoyang, the morning behind the mountain is cold, you have to put on the clothes that I gave you, and also, you don’t have to worry about the matters at the bottom of the mountain. You’re just an ordinary person, I’m afraid that you will be exhausted.” Her words were laced with deep concern, and Du Shaoyang could naturally hear what she said. He said, “I will naturally take Qing’s words to heart. However, there are some matters at the bottom of the mountain. It’s not that I want to meddle in other people’s business, but that I can’t just sit by and do nothing. Lee Qingshuang could also understand his difficulties, so she said: “I understand, Big Brother Shaoyang, don’t worry, I will always support you.” Du Shaoyang gratefully said, “Thank you, Qing. With you by my side, I can always maintain my peak state. It’s really amazing.” Lee Qingshuang suddenly thought of something, and said: “Oh, right, Big Brother Shaoyang, I almost forgot about this great matter.” Du Shaoyang asked with doubt: “What’s wrong? Qing, did something big happen in the sect? ”

What about later?

And then we’ll see how it breaks down in the next round.
