Phantom Spear - C194
The last time she said it: Gui Xuerou felt that Tan Yuan was being taciturn, so she opened her mouth to converse with him, but in the end, Tan Yuan was just thinking about the current situation of his senior brother in White-haired Devil Child, and had coldly left Gui Xuerou behind. This made her feel that she had lost a lot of face, her eyebrows were knitted tightly, her fury was rising, and just as she was about to lose her temper, Jiang Feng shouted out in time to calm her down, telling her to calm down. In terms of Qing Xu Sect, the Taoist Tai Xu had gathered Du Shaoyang and his two senior brothers, Bao Yuan and Qi as one, and went to the Qing Xu Palace to discuss the matter about the White-haired Devil Child.
Du Shaoyang and the other two senior brother walked out one after another. Bao Yuan asked seriously: “Junior Brother Shaoyang, how is your practice of sword arts?” Du Shaoyang said with a face full of smiles, “Senior Brother, it’s okay.” Bao Yuan saw that his words had a hidden meaning, and was a little unhappy himself, so he said straightforwardly: “Junior Brother Shaoyang, we all know that you are the most proficient in sword techniques among the disciples of our sect. I think that Master Sect Leader will definitely send you to fight in the White-haired Devil Child, you better not embarrass our sect, and train more in the sword, understand?” When Du Shaoyang saw that he had taken the initiative to challenge the White-haired Devil Child, and had even said something else to him, he knew that this senior brother of his was usually a little bit sensitive and petty, and was also a little jealous of himself. He became even more cautious as he spoke slowly: “Senior brother, what ability does Shaoyang have, in the sect, there are plenty of people who are more knowledgeable in sword arts than Shaoyang. Qi He shrugged his shoulders and spoke softly: “Junior Brother Shaoyang, you don’t have to be modest in front of us, we have known about this for so many years. Whether it is the former Sect Leader Martial Uncle Mo Feng or the current Sect Leader Great Void Master, they all treat you well, you will definitely be the best successor to our sect in the future. Du Shaoyang knew that his analysis was reasonable, his senior brother was usually rather easy-going, but when he spoke, he was inevitably sarcastic, and his ability to analyze problems was still very strong. Du Shaoyang continued to speak, “Senior brother, in terms of qualifications, I, Shaoyang, am not qualified to be compared to you two senior brothers, and in terms of comprehension skills, I am not as good as the other brothers. In addition, Martial Uncle is in good health, this position of Sect Leader, haha, still needs many years, so I do not have time to consider all these.” Bao Yuan frowned slightly. He knew that his own sword technique was inferior to Du Shaoyang’s, and he had always been difficult for him, but he was still very loyal to his Qing Xu Sect, and he hoped that it would become better and better in the future. However, he hoped even more that he would be able to use his own hard work to increase her Qing Xu Sect.
Bao Yuan said coldly: “Junior Brother Shaoyang, this battle is related to our sect’s honor and disgrace, no matter who Sect Leader’s master sent out to fight, we will all have to train hard, and if you are free, you can come with us, we can discuss sword techniques and progress together. If we stay alone at the back mountain, we won’t be able to comprehend any new sword techniques.” On the surface, Du Shaoyang seemed to agree, and said respectfully: “Senior Brother is right, Shaoyang has remembered it. “Oh right, I still need to hurry down the mountain. There are also some mundane things that I need to take care of.” Bao Yuan saw that his expression was a little hurried, so he did not force him to stay, and said: “Since Junior Brother Shaoyang has important matters on you, then go quickly, we will not disturb you any longer.” Du Shaoyang bade farewell to his two senior brothers and then quickly left towards the mountain gate.
Bao Yuan said to Qi He: “Junior Brother Qi He, what do you think about Junior Brother Shaoyang?” He said angrily, “I’m afraid it isn’t appropriate to speak about others behind their backs.” Bao Yuan hurriedly said: “Ai, junior brother, we are not talking about the matters of the Junior Brother Shaoyang, but simply and objectively, what do you think about him?” He walked to the side and whispered: “Junior Brother Shaoyang, you are very talented, have been carefully taught by Mo Feng and Master Tai Xu since young, coupled with his extremely high comprehension ability, it is very difficult to find a strong opponent with his sword skills in the entire martial arts world. He is a talent that my sect has sent.” Although Bao Yuan was a little jealous, he recognized the reality of the situation. He did not deny and sighed: “That’s right, Junior Brother Qianzhi, you have good eyes. Junior Brother Shaoyang, although I do not want to admit it, he is definitely our sect’s number one talent. If I were Sect Leader, I would also like him to be like this, and would choose him to be our next Sect Leader. ” Although he said this, there was still a knot in his heart that he couldn’t get over. He patted his senior brother on the shoulder and consoled him, “Senior brother, everyone has their own limits, and that is our limit. No matter how hard you work, you can’t reach the level of a Junior Brother Shaoyang. Bao Yuan pushed his hand away and said: “I am indeed not as good as Junior Brother Shaoyang right now, but I will redouble my efforts. I believe that those with aspirations will succeed, and one day, I will definitely surpass him.” He could only say: “Senior brother, Junior Brother Shaoyang is a smart and tactful person, he is very courteous to us brothers and his master, although his own personality is a little eccentric and eccentric, but he can still be considered to be on good terms with us. If you want to fight with him for something, you have to strengthen yourself in these aspects.” Bao Yuan was not convinced, and said: “Hmph, this is nothing, it is just a little trick to flatter others, as long as I am willing, I can do it. If I am able to use my full strength to defeat the White-haired Devil Child, then my position in the sect and the degree of respect I will receive will definitely increase as well. Taking a step back ten thousand times, even if I lose the battle, for the sake of our sect, I will not be afraid even if I die. With this kind of spirit, I believe that in the eyes of my Sect Leader Master and the rest of my fellow disciples, I, Bao Yuan, am not a person who is afraid of death. ” Qi He slowly nodded his head and said: “Senior Brother Bao Yuan, I am very clear of your spirit and abilities, but this time, White-haired Devil Child Master came out with a Sword Controlling Sect of Shandong that is on par with our sect, and he is also a disciple of our sect. In the past month, he has defeated countless of sword using sects and experts, and he naturally has his own skills, I am worried, Senior Brother, if you were to go out to fight, he might try to kill us, he must have some sort of enmity towards our Qing Xu Sect, after all, we have been called as the number one sword technique by fellow Daoist Wu Lin, for so many years. It’s just that this fellow’s strength is probably too strong, and even if Junior Brother Shaoyang himself were to fight, he wouldn’t have much of a chance of winning. As you can see, Junior Brother Shaoyang would still raise his sword slightly at daybreak every day, and practice his sword for the entire morning. Although he won’t be in the sect at night and in the afternoon, with his personality, he will spend the most of his time and effort on improving his sword technique’s proficiency and adaptability, but I believe that in the past few days, his eyebrows would often furrow, indicating that he has yet to win.
When Bao Yuan heard his analysis, he felt that it made a lot of sense. He was, after all, a senior disciple, and his ability to think clearly and distinguish between friend and foe was first-rate, so he nodded slowly and sighed, “Yeah, it’s rare to see Junior Brother Shaoyang act like this, even I feel a little uncomfortable looking at him. Seeing him being so lazy and fed up with troublesome matters, I actually felt that it was normal. But, we can’t just rely on him, Qing Xu Sect is for all of us, we have to defend the dignity of the sect together, junior brother, let’s go to the Sword Discourse Arena to practice our sword techniques again, how about it? ” Qi He knew that Senior Brother Bao Yuan liked fair competition and would not use any underhanded methods, so he said: “Ok, I will listen to whatever senior brother says.” The two of them held onto swords as they walked towards the Sword Discourse Arena. Du Shaoyang tied the Dust Sealing Sword onto his back and slowly walked down the mountain …
What about later?
And then we’ll see how it breaks down in the next round.
