The Venerable Swordsman

Chapter 40 Do You Know What I Like about You?

Behind Ye Xuan, An Lanxiu looked at him but did not speak.

Before Ye Xuan, the man looked Ye Xuan up and down, and then he challenged, “Brat, I suppose you need a spanking!”

Just when his voice fell, the man grabbed his iron stick and slammed toward Ye Xuan violently.

Ye Xuan’s right hand was clenched into a fist, above which a surge of Conceptual Battle Skill was condensing.

He launched this punch!

“Sizzle!”

Abruptly, a low Qi explosion sounded!

“Bang!”

As a sound of the explosion, the man retreated dozens of meters with his stick vibrating fiercely. Ye Xuan was also pushed back a dozen meters, and his right hand was shaking slightly.

Opposite Ye Xuan, the man cast a look at his iron stick and then looked toward Ye Xuan. “You are pretty good!”

As soon as he said this, holding the iron stick, he threw it vehemently against Ye Xuan.

“Sizzle!”

There was a sharp wind broken sound!

Ye Xuan had no expression. When the iron stick came up to him, he launched a powerful strike with his right hand!

It was simply a punch!

The Punch Collapse!

A punch that could collapse stones and split gold!

“Bang!”

The iron stick trembled fiercely and then flew back. But at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Ye Xuan. In a flash, a cold light approached sharply towards Ye Xuan’s throat!

Danger!

Ye Xuan’s eyes slightly squinted. It was his first feeling. He dare not hide his strength anymore, and his right hand gently rotated.

“Buzzing!”

A deep sword sound echoed in the field, and in the twinkling of an eye...

“Bang!”

A figure was directly blown dozens of meters away!

It was that man!

As the man stopped, he looked at Ye Xuan with horror. “A Sword Cultivator, you are actually a Sword Cultivator!”

Ye Xuan glanced at the man. “Do you still want to play?”

The man smirked, “I want to, of course! I, Mo Yunqi, have I ever been afraid of anyone else in my life? I...”

Right at this point, Ye Xuan cropped up before him. The next moment, a ray of chilly light chopped down.

Mo Yunqi’s face changed greatly. “Fella, you start fighting without telling me first...”

While talking, he waved his iron stick up sideways!

It was diamond cut diamond!

“Bang!”

A penetrating sound of iron on iron sounded in the field. In a flash, Mo Yunqi’s whole body retreated dozens of meters in quick succession!

This time, Ye Xuan stopped striking. Instead, he backed to the side of An Lanxiu. He took a look at her and apologized, “I’m sorry I made such a scene!”

An Lanxiu just smiled without words.

Ye Xuan looked quite unnatural, or rather, a little embarrassed. Seemingly thinking of something, he suddenly looked at Mo Yunqi nearby and said, “Let’s continue to fight!”

When the words sound just fell, his whole person rushed straight out!

Mo Yunqi, “...”

An Lanxiu glanced at Ye Xuan in the distance and was lost in thought.

After about a quarter, a voice suddenly sounded on the scene, “Enough!”

The voice of the old man, Mr. Ji!

With his voice sounded, Mr. Ji appeared not far from An Lanxiu. He nodded slightly to An Lanxiu, and then looked at Ye Xuan and Mo Yunqi who were nearby. However, the two did not stop.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Ji suddenly looked at An Lanxiu and asked, “Are you very concerned about him?”

This ‘him’ naturally referred to Ye Xuan!

An Lanxiu gently smoothed back her hair at the ears and replied, “Yes!”

Hearing her say so, Mr. Ji screwed up his eyes. “National Warrior An, do you know what you are talking about?”

An Lanxiu chuckled. “Merely by the fact that he dared to come forward in face of thousands of soldiers from Tang Country, he is qualified to be my friend. Of course, we are friends now!”

“Her friend!”

Mr. Ji whispered a sigh. “I suppose that there must be only less than five persons in the whole Jiang Country who are qualified to become her friend!”

“Bang!”

At this point, a distant exploding sound came all of a sudden. Right after that, Mo Yunqi was directly pushed back dozens of meters.

Ye Xuan did not take a further move but retreated to the side of An Lanxiu. Mo Yunqi took a look at Ye Xuan and An Lanxiu, and he stopped as well.

Mr. Ji glanced at Mo Yunqi. “From now on, both of you will be students of Canglan College!”

Both Ye Xuan and Mo Yunqi were stunned!

“Students of Canglan College!”

Mo Yunqi pointed at Ye Xuan and said, “He, is he also a student of Canglan College?”

The old man said coolly, “Why? Is there any problem?”

Mo Yunqi caught a glimpse of Mr. Ji. “Old man, how many students do we have in Canglan College?”

Mr. Ji said, “Plus you, three in total! Anyway, there is another one coming soon. There will be four then!”

“Four!”

Mo Yunqi became motionless. After a long pause, he turned away without hesitation. “I’m fucking going to Cangmu College!”

Mr. Ji took a cool look at Mo Yunqi and said, “The second volume of Horizontal Sky Stick Rule, don’t you want it?”

In the distance, Mo Yunqi stopped and he turned to look at Mr. Ji. “Old man, grandfather, elder grandfather. A college, four students. You... Are you sure that this college has a future?”

Mr. Ji calmly said, “You have already signed the letter of application to Cangmu College. So even if you go to Cangmu College now, they won’t accept you anyway!”

Hearing his, Mo Yunqi pointed at Mr. Ji angrily. “Old man, you entrapped me!”

Mr. Ji shrugged. “I didn’t force you! It was you who begged me to let you join Canglan College!”

Hearing his words, Mo Yunqi was so angry that he was nearly to spit blood. “You actually have the nerve to talk about it. You, you said that Canglan College is pretty much the same as Cangmu College. You...”

“But they are almost the same!”

Mr. Ji said, “They are all in the Imperial Capital and they are all colleges... Is there a problem?”

“I...”

Mo Yunqi became so angry that he almost expired. “You call this almost the same? They are totally different!” If it were not for that he was no fighting match for the old man, he would start a fight perhaps!

At this moment, Mr. Ji bent his finger and clicked. A black scroll fell before Mo Yunqi. Mo Yunqi took a glance at it. The next moment, his eyes sparkled.

Mr. Ji pointed to the top of the mountain.

Mo Yunqi struggled a little while. Looking at the scroll in his hand, he sighed deeply in the end. And then he walked towards the top of the mountain reluctantly.

However, when he passed by Ye Xuan and An Lanxiu, he suddenly looked at Ye Xuan. “When I practice the second volume well, I will fight with you then!”

Ye Xuan shrugged. “Any time!”

Fighting with others?

He also liked it!

Not far away, Mr. Ji suddenly said, “Boy, this is Imperial Capital. You’d better stay low!”

Mo Yunqi snorted. “Stay low? Old man, I am so damn perfect, do I still need to stay low? I am not bragging. Is there anyone who can be more excellent than me in the entire Imperial Capital?”

Speaking of this, he squinted at the sky and said with great ambition. “Isn’t An Lanxiu the top genius of Jiang Country? That was before. Now, I am here. What is An Lanxiu? Wait, I will beat her until she cries some other day!”

Ye Xuan looked rather weird.

Aside, Mr. Ji shook his head. “This is the first time that I have seen someone so insist on taking the road to ruin!”

Mo Yunqi was about to talk, but just then, a white residual image suddenly appeared behind him. Mo Yunqi’s face changed dramatically. He turned around sharply and slammed his iron stick down fiercely.

“Bang!”

As a sound of the explosion, the whole body of Mo Yunqi was directly thrown behind. The next moment, the ground trembled fiercely, and then a strange scene appeared on the spot.

A figure constantly hit toward the ground and it kept mourning...

Like this, the scene lasted a full quarter, and then finally, the figure stopped.

The figure was exactly Mo Yunqi. At this moment, Mo Yunqi lay on the ground like a puddle of mud, and his whole face had already swollen into a pig head.

An Lanxiu looked at Ye Xuan. “Walk with me?”

Brother Ye smiled slightly. “Good!”

They walked side by side towards the path not far away.

Behind him, Mo Yunqi screamed, “Wait, wait a minute. Vengeance for this, I...”

“She is An Lanxiu!” Nobody knew since when Mr. Ji popped up beside Mo Yunqi.

Mo Yunqi’s voice stopped abruptly. In a flash, he turned his head to a side and made no more movement.

Mr. Ji kicked Mo Yunqi. “Don’t pretend to be dead! Get up and go on roaring. What is An Lanxiu? Beat her until she cries!”

Mo Yunqi lay deathly still.

Mr. Ji didn’t say anything further. He pulled up Mo Yunqi’s one foot and then dragged him up to the mountain.

On a small path, Ye Xuan walked side by side with An Lanxiu. She whispered, “I never thought that you would join Canglan College!”

Ye Xuan was silent.

Neither did he think that he would join Canglan College after a strange combination of circumstances. All it could be said was that things changed!

An Lanxiu suddenly stopped. “I’ll leave Jiang Country! Today, I come here to say goodbye!”

“Leave Jiang Country!”

Ye Xuan turned to look at An Lanxiu, who looked straight into his eyes and said, “I’m worried about you!”

Ye Xuan shook his head. “I don’t understand!”

An Lanxiu took a step forward. Now she was very close to Ye Xuan, and Ye Xuan had already been able to clearly smell the faint scent from An Lanxiu.

An Lanxiu just looked directly at Ye Xuan. “Everyone has underestimated you. Or even, I may have underestimated you. I don’t know what your adventures are, or what your final card is. However, you bring me a dangerous feeling.”

With this, she shook her head and smiled. “In the whole Jiang Country, very few people can make me feel dangerous. This kind of danger is not the ‘danger’ under normal circumstances.”

Ye Xuan remained silent.

An Lanxiu kept moving forward, and Ye Xuan slowly followed.

After a while, An Lanxiu said in a soft voice, “After I leave, there may not be a person who can really suppress you. As for your character, you are too impulsive and straightforward. I am afraid that one day, the Imperial Capital will be in chaos because of you!”

Speaking of this, she turned to look at Ye Xuan. “Promise me one thing. After I leave, if you can, give some consideration to Jiang Country sometimes.”

Ye Xuan smiled bitterly. “You may think too highly of me!”

An Lanxiu smiled slightly, “But you haven’t answered me yet!”

Ye Xuan sank his voice to say, “I promise you. I will do everything in my power to make my contribution to Jiang Country.”

“Do you know what I like about you?” An Lanxiu asked suddenly.

“Like me?”

Ye Xuan was startled, and his mind went blank.

An Lanxiu was also startled a little. She knew that she seemed to have made an indiscreet remark. However, she didn’t explain anything, just smiled and then went into the distance.

Ye Xuan was stunned a bit. Then he slowly followed up.

For a time, neither of them talked, they just kept walking.

After a while, An Lanxiu stopped. She took out a black jade pendant and handed it to Ye Xuan.

“This is?” Ye Xuan was puzzled.

An Lanxiu whispered, “On the north side of Jiang Country where the Frontier City is located, some forces on those mountains have discovered a relic which was left by a Sword Lord. They have almost cleaned up the site and they will get into it in a month at most. This pendant is a certification issued to me from above. With this jade pendant, you can be qualified to enter the relic. For me, there is no particular meaning in entering the relic. You are a Sword Cultivator, so it should be of much help to you! Moreover, the place is located in the volcanic zone so there may be extremely hot things under the ground. If you can get some, they should also be helpful to your sister. However, you should be careful. Because except for the top one or two people in Jiang Country, some of the top geniuses from other countries will also go there. Hence, this matter should not be taken lightly.”

Ye Xuan thought about it and then accepted the pendant.

An Lanxiu smiled a little and said, “Farewell!”

After that, she walked to the distance.

“Will we meet again?” Ye Xuan suddenly asked.

An Lanxiu stopped and said, “My pace may be very fast.”

Ye Xuan grinned, “I will exceed you!”

An Lanxiu turned to look at Ye Xuan and smiled. “Come on!”

Voice faded, she turned and disappeared at the end of the far path.

Ye Xuan gazed at the beautiful image in the distance for a long time before he came back to earth. He turned over his left palm in which was another jade pendant An Lanxiu gave him.

Two jade pendants!

Looking at the two jade pendants, Ye Xuan suddenly smiled. This smile looked a bit silly.

When he and his sister stuck in difficulties in the past, few people were kind to them. Even if there were some persons who were good to him, most of them just wanted to use him. But An Lanxiu was different... Ye Xuan would never forget those who were good to him!

After a while, clutching these two jade pendants, Ye Xuan turned and walked up to the mountain. He smiled all the time, looking so silly...
