Chapter 26 How could I be so miserable!
"I heard you still haven't learned how to fly on a sword?" Guangji's cold face remained expressionless.
"Ah, how could that be? Master, that must be a misunderstanding! How could I not even know how to fly on a sword?" Lan Yue waved her hands repeatedly, refusing to admit it.
"Really? Then show me how to fly one with this spirit sword in your hand." Guangji glanced at Yinxue in her arms, showing no surprise.
Lan Yue was stunned for a moment. By the time she came to her senses, she had already been lifted up and placed on the Silver Snow that had just taken off.
"No, no, no, Yin Xue, fly slower!" With these cries, they drifted further and further away from the Hall of Four Arts.
Erdan, who was behind them, stuck his head out and glanced at them. Then he quickly flapped his four paws and chased after them.
Guangji glanced at it again, and Erdan flew even harder, wishing it could disappear from his sight immediately.
Not only Lan Yue and Ling Gui, but everyone else in the Four Arts Hall also fell silent, each one as quiet as a chicken.
Not far away in the Spirit Weapon Hall, a newly initiated disciple looked over curiously and scratched his head in confusion.
"What's going on? Who is this person? Why is our Spirit Weapon Hall so quiet after he arrived?"
This person came from the Early Cultivation Hall not long ago. He had just chosen the Spirit Weapon Hall and had not yet officially started refining weapons. He was very curious about everything.
Therefore, he couldn't help but ask about this newly appeared cultivator.
However, as soon as he asked the question, two hands reached out from the side and covered his mouth tightly.
"Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!" Lin Shu was startled. He thought someone was trying to harm him, and he struggled violently.
"Ughhhhhh!" Master, please save me!
He saw that his master beside him was also unmoved, and a chill ran through him.
So even a sect as large as the Southern Spirit Sect has people like this?
"Junior brother, stop struggling. Quiet down, and we'll communicate with you via telepathy." The two senior brothers behind him twitched at the corners of their mouths when they saw that their new junior brother's face was ashen.
"Junior brother, don't underestimate that elder in white outside. He's actually quite ruthless."
"Yes, yes, yes, you absolutely must not provoke this person! You have no idea what happened twenty years ago. At that time, an elder of our Nanling Sect fell into demonic possession. As a result, that person was directly cleaved in two by Elder Guangji, and black and red blood was splattered all over the mountain!"
"Not only that, he killed cultivators like they were radish heads. It is said that many people who disliked Elder Guangji disappeared afterward!"
The two of them sang in unison, sending telepathic messages to their junior brother one after the other, successfully startling the naive fellow.
So much so that when Guangji walked in, his legs were trembling, and he eventually rolled his eyes and fainted, lying stiffly on the ground.
"My custom-made spirit sword." A cold voice rang out, and Guangji looked at the unconscious person in front of him with a rather strange expression.
"What's wrong with him?" After all, he was a disciple of the Southern Spirit Sect, so he had to ask him about it.
"Elder Guangji, it's nothing, really nothing. He was just too excited to see you!"
The two senior students standing next to him had their hearts in their throats.
Upon hearing this, Guangji suddenly recalled the things that had happened in the past, and his expression froze.
"Elder Guangji, your magical artifact has already been made."
An elder from the Spirit Weapon Hall, who was sitting in a chair drinking tea not far away, walked over with a smile and handed him the storage ring in his hand.
This was essentially a signal to the other two people, instructing them to carry the person away.
Guangji took it, leaving behind a white porcelain bottle, and then disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The two senior brothers, who were about to lift the person, looked at the porcelain bottle in front of them and exchanged bewildered glances.
"Please accept this on behalf of your junior brother. This is Elder Guangji's heartfelt gift. In the future, please do not spread rumors about how ruthless Elder Guangji is. No matter how ruthless he is, he is protecting our Nanling Sect."
The elder of the Spirit Weapon Hall changed his smiling expression and gave them serious instructions.
The two senior brothers were stunned. They had actually heard it from others. In any case, there was no disciple in the entire Nanling Sect who was not afraid of Elder Guangji.
Thinking back on the elder's thoughtful behavior today, they were immediately filled with shame.
Once the two disciples had figured it out, the elder of the Spirit Weapon Hall turned back, sat on his recliner, and leisurely drank tea.
…
After Guangji disappeared from the Four Arts Hall, the azure water mirror that Yun Chong had condensed above the clouds shattered completely, emitting a clear, crisp sound.
"It seems Ninth Junior Brother is angry." Yun Chong was extremely disappointed.
"Then let's not all gather here. Let's all go about our business, or Ninth Junior Brother will want to spar with you."
As soon as Yun Chong said this, the surrounding elders scattered in all directions and disappeared in the blink of an eye, each one running faster than the last.
What a joke! Ninth Junior Brother is someone who can fight against the Supreme Elder and not be at a disadvantage!
Those guys who accompanied their junior brother in practicing swordsmanship were practically asking for trouble!
They'll all be bruised and battered by then, which will probably add a lot of new gossip to Xiao Lanyue's life. Just thinking about it makes my scalp tingle!
On the other side, Lan Yue, who had already flown away on the spirit sword, was about to fall. She quickly hugged the hilt of Yin Xue's sword and hung on it.
"Yinxue, slow down, slow down!"
Yin Xue had no choice but to slow down and come to a steady stop in mid-air.
However, before Lan Yue could even breathe a sigh of relief, she felt her collar being pulled up from the back and she was moved to another location.
She was transferred to another spirit sword, which was smaller and darted away before she could even react.
"Aaaaaah! Help! Yin Xue, help me!"
At such a speed, she couldn't even stand still, and her body had already begun to lean backward.
Yin Xue was about to rush out to save people, but was stopped by Guang Ji beside her.
"If you want her to learn sword control, don't do anything now." Guangji didn't make a move, he just looked at the silver-white spirit sword.
A pure white cat jumped out from the longsword. It glanced at Guangji with displeasure, but eventually stopped.
Meanwhile, Lan Yue was incredulous. The spirit sword she had just brought back had betrayed her?
Lan Yue held the increasingly fast-moving spirit sword in her hand, her face filled with sorrow.
Seeing that she was about to fall to the ground from such a height, Lan Yue covered her face, her heart almost stopping.
Just as she was about to land, Guangji flew over with a frown and lifted her up.
This lasted for three whole days, during which Guangji followed her closely, providing her with special training.
Perhaps inspired by the brush with death, Lan Yue finally learned to fly on a sword on the third day. However, this kind of flight was not like her senior brothers and sisters, who stood on spirit swords and flew gracefully. She could only make sure that she did not fall off the spirit sword.
This was the best she could do!
Guangji watched from the side, his brows furrowing slightly, but he did nod and didn't continue giving her any more special training.
[Lan Yue: I'm absolutely exhausted! I spent three whole days bungee jumping! Who could stand that?]
Lan Yue sighed deeply; she absolutely did not want to experience this again.
[Lan Yue: I wonder how Erdan is doing, whether he'll go find food on his own. Yin Xue actually betrayed me too, waaaah, why am I so miserable.]
Guangji was stunned by such a pitiful voice. He even wondered to himself if he had really gone too far.
Just as he was about to say a few words of comfort to his apprentice, he heard the other's thoughts again, but this time they were much more cheerful.
[Lan Yue: Fine, since it's so miserable, I'll just eat a few more melons. Only these can soothe my wounded little heart!]
I'll keep looking, see if there's any new gossip about Master! Hmph, I found it again, didn't I!
Guangji on the other side: "..."
It seems we still need to intensify our training.
