The Venerable Swordsman

Chapter 25 In Your Dreams, You Can!

In the past, the Ling Xiao Sword was somewhat strange to him.

He felt like the sword was not his, and he used it in a rather jerky manner.

But now, there was no such strange feeling, but there was no such familiar feeling either. However, he felt much better than before, at least he didn’t feel clumsy like before!

At this moment, he discovered the importance of the integration degree between a sword and its owner!

After Ye Xuan put away the sword, he left the Prison World Tower and then washed up.

He went to bed!

Cultivation was important, and so was rest!

No matter how much he wanted to become stronger and how crazily he practiced, he would rest every day. Because only after a break when he was full of energy could he practice better.

Outside.

No one knew when the Cloud Ship had quietly started, but now everything was back in peace.

But everyone on the Cloud Ship did not forget that boy, and they did not forget the previous movement outside the Cloud Ship either.

Everyone was curious, and they were wondering whether the boy was dead or not.

He should be dead!

After all, people in the Drunken Fairy Building were not that easy to kill.

The Cloud Ship flew over the vast river and came to an endless mountain range. Standing on the Cloud Ship, one could overlook the countless mountains below, the scenery of which was a feast for the eyes.

There were many more people appearing on the deck of the Cloud Ship again. Everyone looked calm as if nothing had happened.

Because the Drunken Fairy Building had already issued a warning: Everyone should keep the previous thing a secret. Otherwise, the Drunken Fairy Building would severely punish them!

No one dared offend the Drunken Fairy Building.

In the room.

He didn’t know how long had passed, but Ye Xuan felt a little itchy on his face. He slowly opened his eyes and a pair of smart big eyes jumped into his sight.

At this moment, holding a strand of her hair, Ye Ling was gently scratching his face!

Seeing that Ye Xuan woke up, Ye Ling smiled sweetly, “Brother!”

Ye Xuan turned to look around and asked, “What time is it?”

Ye Ling smiled and said, “Noon! Brother slept till late today! But it doesn’t matter, you go on sleeping and I will stay by your side!”

Ye Xuan gently squeezed the little nose of Ye Ling, and he smiled, “Go. Let’s go out and get some air.”

After that, he got up, washed his face and rinsed his mouth. Then he came to the deck of the Cloud Ship together with Ye Ling.

When the siblings appeared on the deck of the Cloud Ship, everyone looked over at them!

“He’s not dead?”

Everyone was full of questions.

“Why didn’t he die when he killed the man from the Drunken Fairy Building?”

On the other side, Lu Xiaoran took a deep look at Ye Xuan and whispered, “This boy is not simple!”

Beside him, the little fat boy went straight to the siblings. He glanced at Ye Xuan and then knelt down on one knee. “Elder Brother, please accept me as your disciple. How much do you want for that? Just name the price, my dad has plenty of money!”

Ye Xuan, “...”

Ye Ling covered her little mouth and smiled.

Lu Xiaoran went to the front of the siblings. He kicked the little fat boy, then he smiled and said, “Do you know how difficult it is to become a Sword Cultivator?”

The little fat boy looked at his head with dissatisfaction. “Why should I be afraid of the difficulties? I can resolve difficulties with money!”

Lu Xiaoran looked quite embarrassed. He cupped his fists at Ye Xuan. “I have not taught him properly. Excuse us, please.”

Ye Xuan smiled and then looked at the little fat boy. “Do you want to be a Sword Cultivator?”

The little fat boy quickly nodded.

Ye Xuan smiled, “Okay, but you should lose your weight first!”

Hearing his words, the face of the little fat boy suddenly turned bitter.

“Lose weight?”

“That would be much worse than killing me!”

Seeing the expression of the little fat boy, both Ye Xuan and Lu Xiaoran laughed.

At this time, Lu Xiaoran asked with a smile, “Ye Xuan, my little friend. Are you going to the Imperial Capital on this trip?”

Ye Xuan nodded, “Exactly.”

Lu Xiaoran sized Ye Xuan up and then asked, “Are you going to participate in the enrollment of Cangmu College?”

Ye Xuan was a little surprised, “How does predecessor know?”

Lu Xiaoran laughed and said, “The enrollment of Cangmu College is once every three years, and can be regarded as the liveliest event in Jiang Country. My little friend, you look so young, and you are going to the Imperial Capital. Plus, Cangmu College is going to start its enrollment immediately. Therefore, I suppose you should be going to Cangmu College.”

With this, he pointed to the little fat boy in front of him. “This is my son, Lu Ming. I’m taking him to the Imperial Capital this time because I also hope to see if he can join Cangmu College.”

Lu Ming, the little fat boy patted his chest. “Dad, don’t worry. I can definitely join Cangmu College. If they don’t let me in, I will buy Cangmu College.”

Ye Xuan and his sister, “...”

Lu Xiaoran shook his head and sighed, “I shouldn’t have spoiled you so much at the beginning!”

Ye Xuan nodded. The Imperial Capital was the most prosperous place in Jiang Country, which definitely had many prominent geniuses and unnoticed talents. This little fat boy might be able to do anything he wants in Thousand-Mountain City, but if he was still so willfull in the Imperial Capital, he probably will suffer heavy losses.

Lu Xiaoran turned to look at the distant sky. He whispered, “We’ll be in the Frontier City soon.”

“The Frontier City?”

Ye Xuan was somewhat puzzled.

Lu Xiaoran explained, “There are things which little friend Ye doesn’t know. The Frontier City is located at the border between Jiang Country and Tang Country in the north. The reason why Jiang Country and Tang Country have been fighting each other for years is that they are competing for Frontier City. The terrain of Frontier City is quite high, and there are volcanoes that act as natural barriers on its sides. It can be said that the country which has Frontier City will obtain the natural advantage to attack. So Frontier City either belongs to Tang Country or Jiang Country in all these years. Although the Frontier City belongs to Jiang Country now, people in Tang Country believe it belongs to them. Anyway... This place is a mess.”

Ye Xuan asked in a deep voice, “Will we stop there?”

Lu Xiaoran nodded. “The Cloud Ship needs to be refueled, so we should stay there for half a day.”

Ye Xuan said, “Is Predecessor Lu afraid that something bad will happen?”

Lu Xiaoran said with a smile, “There should be nothing wrong. It just looks really nasty. Because although the city is possessed by Jiang Country, people from Tang Country can come freely in and out of the city unscrupulously. They even flagrantly provoke us under the walls of the city. Alas, it’s hard to say!”

Ye Xuan nodded but said nothing.

After talking with Lu Xiaoran for a while, Ye Xuan went to the bow with Ye Ling. Looking at the countless mountains and rivers under the Cloud Ship, Ye Xuan’s right hand slowly gripped. “One day, I will ride a sword and overlook the mountains and rivers between Heaven and Earth!”

With this, he hurriedly asked in his heart, “Predecessor, can I ride a sword now?”

“Yes, you can!”

The Mysterious woman answered.

Upon hearing her answers, Ye Xuan was ravished with joy. At this point, the mysterious woman added, “In your dreams, you can!”

Ye Xuan, “...”

After two hours, the Cloud Ship sailed past thousands of mountains. A city which was located between two large mountains appeared in everyone’s eyes. The city looked like a gate between the two mountains. Opposite the city was plains, from the end of which dim figures of cities could be seen.

Over there was the other country: Tang Country!

Just then, a voice rang in the ears of everyone. “Dear passengers, the Cloud Ship needs to be refueled. We will stay for four hours in Frontier City. After four hours, please board the ship immediately. In addition, Frontier City is in disorder. If there is no need, try not to wander around.”

When the voice fell, the Cloud Ship trembled fiercely, and soon the Cloud Ship slowly went down.

Feeling some trembling, Ye Ling clung to Ye Xuan’s arm.

The Cloud Ship was getting closer and closer to the ground, and Frontier City was getting bigger and bigger in the eyes of everyone.

Standing on top of the Cloud Ship to look down, Frontier City was indeed a lot worse than Thousand-Mountain City. It was a dilapidated city with fewer people, which looked quite desolate.

The Cloud Ship steadily stopped in a big river. Soon, numerous people got off the Cloud Ship, and so did the siblings. But they did not go to other places. They only took their break in the rest area arranged by the Drunken Fairy Building.

The rest area arranged by the Drunken Fairy Building was a square. The square near the street was wide, and it was quite close to the city gate.

In the square, there were all kinds of food to eat!

Ye Xuan took her sister to a noodle stand, and Ye Xuan shouted. “Boss, two bowls of noodles please!”

“Okay, got it!”

The boss responded. After a while, two bowls of hot noodles with an egg and some minced meat in each bowl were placed before Ye Xuan and Ye Ling.

Ye Xuan picked up the egg in his bowl and put it in Ye Ling’s bowl. Ye Ling rolled her eyes at Ye Xuan, and then returned the egg to him. “Brother, don’t tell me that you don’t like eating eggs, hmph, you’re not going to get me today!”

When they stuck together in difficulties in the past, Ye Xuan always lied to her that he didn’t like this or that, and then he gave all of them to her. She was so young that she actually took that for granted. Until then, she discovered it was not that her brother didn’t like to eat, but because he could not bear to eat!

Ye Xuan gently rubbed Ye Ling’s little head, and then smiled, “Boss, add two more eggs!”

“Okay...”

On the other side, after Han Xiangmeng watched the siblings at the distance for a long time, she softly exclaimed, “This kind of affection, I have never seen it in my clan.”

But the old man next to Han Xiangmeng shook his head. “This person values that little girl too much. In the future, the little girl may become his weak point.”

Looking at Ye Ling with her bright face in the distance, Han Xiangmeng whispered, “But the girl is happy.”

After that, she turned away.

After a while, when the siblings were full, Ye Xuan looked to the boss not far away, “Boss, bill please!”

The boss walked up to Ye Xuan with a smile, “Four gold coins, sir!”

Ye Xuan, who was about to pay, was stunned. He thought that he heard it wrong so he asked again, “Four gold coins?”

The boss nodded, “Four gold coins!”

At the side, holding a bowl, Ye Ling who was drinking the noodle soup was immediately startled on the spot. Her eyes were wide open, “Four gold coins? In Qing City, a bowl of noodles costs only five silver coins!”

The siblings looked at each other. Finally, Ye Xuan stood up. “Boss, you charged us four gold coins for two bowls of noodles and two eggs? Are, are you sure?”

The boss ceased to smile and questioned, “What? Do you want to eat this meal for free?”

Ye Xuan sank his voice to say, “Boss, your noodle stand is a trap!”

The boss said coldly, “We have been selling here for several years at the same price, why do you think it is a trap? Well, I think that you don’t want to pay!”

Ye Xuan was going to speak, but a voice suddenly came from the side. “Elder Brother, let me treat you!”

Ye Xuan and his sister looked to the sound, and the person who arrived was Lu Ming together with Lu Xiaoran who was near him.

Lu Ming went to the boss. He took out four gold coins from his pocket and gave them to the boss. He yelled in anger, “He is my Elder Brother. Can’t my Elder Brother afford a bowl of noodles?”

The boss glanced at Lu Ming, but he did not speak. He put away the gold coins and turned away.

Lu Ming turned to look at Ye Xuan and smirked. “Hi, Elder Brother!”

Ye Xuan felt a little amused, “This little fat guy still wants to learn the sword!”

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of hurriedly approaching horses from the distant city gate. Soon, in the eyes of everyone, a dozen cavalry wearing black armors suddenly rushed into the city.

“People from Tang Country!”

Beside Ye Xuan, Lu Xiaoran murmured, “They should be the Black Armored Cavalry of Tang Country. Why are they here? Is it going to be a war?”

“Black Armored Cavalry?”

Ye Xuan looked at that group of cavalry. After the group of cavalry rushed into the city, their horses rushed across the streets. They killed everyone in their sights and robbed every shop they saw.

Seeing this scene, Ye Xuan’s brows wrinkled. “Nobody cares?”

“Care for what?”

At the side, the boss of the noodle stand sneered, “I’m afraid that the guards in the city are now all hiding in the cellars. Sirs, I warn you for your consideration: don’t leave the rest area of the Drunken Fairy Building, otherwise, it’ll be difficult for you to survive!”

Ye Xuan was going to talk. But at this moment, the group of black armored cavalry in the distance suddenly rushed out of the city, and there was more baggage and some crying women added on their horseback.

“Haha...”

The leader of the Black Armored Cavalry laughed crazily and said, “Men in Jiang Country have no balls. They are all crap, haha...”

Saying this, he began to pluck at the clothes of the woman before him. In a moment, the woman was left only with underwear.

Seeing this, everyone around was filled with righteous indignation. But no one came out to stop them.

“Haha...”

The leader of the Black Armored Cavalry laughed crazily, “Men in Jiang Country, fucking watch me. I want to not only rob your property but sleep with your women, haha...”

At this moment, Ye Xuan suddenly turned to look at Lu Xiaoran next to him, “Please take care of my sister for me, predecessor!”

After that, Ye Xuan grabbed the bench next to him and rushed out immediately.

Behind Ye Xuan, everyone was stunned.
