Chapter One Hundred and Eleven – For Tasty Food (2/2)

Actually, he did not lack for jade scrolls at the moment. All the jade scrolls in the sect were open for inner sect disciples. Zuo Mo could go see Master’s records room at any time. Just those jade scrolls, they would take up large amounts of Zuo Mo’s time. However, the only thing the sect lacked was the formation jade scrolls that Zuo Mo needed, so he had to use this method to collect formation jade scrolls. He had gathered many jade scrolls on formations, but they were very disconnected, and not systematic.

Zuo Mo was not a very picky person. Having so many jade scrolls to learn from, he was already very satisfied.

In the high quality jade scrolls, there was a sword scripture called [Blue Flower]. It was extremely fine, but too yin and soft, suited for females. It was useless in his hands, so Zuo Mo decided to give this sword scripture to Xiao Guo. Li Ying Feng Shijie was not practicing sword scriptures now, busy everyday with managing business.

But when Zuo Mo ran to the Eastern Peak, he found out that Xiao Guo had successfully entered zhuji, becoming an inner sect disciple, and also entered Shi Feng Rong’s branch.

He hadn’t thought the little girl would become his shimei.

When Zuo Mo found a mountain valley, seeing the apple shaped wooden sign with “Xiao Guo’s Home” written on it, he instantly smiled.

There were no jinzhi on Xiao Guo’s mountain valley. Zuo Mo easily walked in.

When Xiao Guo, who had been practicing her sword, saw Zuo Mo, she first paused and then had a happy expression. Following that, she timidly said, “Shixiong.”

“Hm, pretty good.” Zuo Mo praised. In reality, from what he saw, Xiao Guo’s sword scripture was full of holes, just a pretty appearance. He gave the [Blue Flower] sword scriptures to Xiao Guo, “Here, this is for you. You can study it.”

He asked a few more things and instantly understood. Master was still in seclusion, making dan­, and had no time to teach her.

Seeing the sweat on the apple face, Zuo Mo felt he needed to fulfilled the duty of a shixiong and started to point things out. He had practiced sword scriptures for a long time. Even though he was not as skilled as Wei Sheng Shixiong but he had comprehended two types of sword essences, and his eyes were much better than people like Qin Cheng.

“Your basics are lacking too much.” When Zuo Mo said this, tears instantly flooded Xiao Guo’s eyes, but she managed to not cry.

“Oh, in the future, you can come to my valley to practice the sword. If I have time, I can look.” Zuo Mo’s next words made Xiao Guo smile.

In the Little West Wind Yard, Zuo Mo was sunbathing, eyes closed as he leisurely sat on the chair, swaying as he pondered the jade scroll he memorized in his mind. Not far away from him, Xiao Guo silently practiced the sword, her apple face covered in sweat. On the roof, Silly Bird stood proudly, occasionally using her blue beak to arrange her snowy white feathers.

Zuo Mo, having encountered a problem, had a bad mood, opened his eyes, and saw Silly Bird’s smug appearance. His mood instantly worsened. Picking up a stone from the floor, he flickered his hand to throw at Silly Bird.

“Show off!”

Silly Bird gave a shriek, hurriedly flapping her wings to dodge the pebble, eyes full of disdain towards Zuo Mo.

Xiao Guo was startled. When she saw Zuo Mo pointing and swearing at the blue beaked snow goose, her large eyes became crescents.

Noticing the mirth on Xiao Guo’s face, Zuo Mo gave a cough. He decided to fix the impression of Shixiong and paced along side to Xiao Guo.

“You cannot be distracted when practicing the sword. You have to concentrate to be able… …”

At the side, Xiao Guo wanted to laugh but did not dare, her expression instantly becoming strange. Zuo Mo did not notice. He shook his head, mimicking Pu Yao’s tone as he concluded, “What is more simple than sword scripture? If… … oh, if you practice a few thousand times, you’ll know it!”

Finishing, he waved his hand, “Keep practicing. I’m going for a walk.” He then stepped out of the West Wind Valley.

After Xiao Guo came everyday to Zuo Mo’s place to practice the sword, Zuo Mo’s meals quickly increased in quality. The meat soup simmered, the ling foods full of ling energy that increased Zuo Mo’s appetite. The only thing he felt irritating was that Silly Bird would partake as well each time. Especially when Silly Bird found it effective to pretend to be pitiful in front of Xiao Guo. Zuo Mo could not do anything about it.

“Tsk tsk, her taste certainly must be tender!” Walking out of the mountain valley, Pu Yao came out. He licked his lips, looking with some yearning at the interior of the valley.

Zuo Mo was used to the expression that Pu Yao had, “Hmph, there’s lots of people that want to exterminate yaomo on this mountain. If you aren’t afraid of death, go ahead!”

“They can’t find me.” Pu Yao was confident.

“You eat her, I don’t have anything to eat, so let’s both die.” Zuo Mo also licked his lips. Xiao Guo’s skills were really good.

“Hmph, won’t eat her. But you can’t keep me starving.” Pu Yao snorted, “I need souls!”

“Didn’t you say that the yin fiends in the sword cave need time to form?” Zuo Mo copied Pu Yao in shrugging his shoulders.

Pu Yao once again gave a yearning expression, “It should be about time today. Let’s go hunt a few, and satisfy my craving!”

Finishing, he did not wait for Zuo Mo to speak before throwing down a few jingshi. The light flashed and Zuo Mo disappeared.

Translator Ramblings: Zuo Mo had a back up plan, but he was successful and there was no need for that. Those three people, especially the red-robed one, is good at adapting to the situation. Get on good term with Zuo Mo and he might be willing to help them process more things, considering how good the payment is. Low level xiuzhe don’t have that many choices, offending three ningmai is a bad choice especially when they offer an olive branch.

Zuo Mo is being affected by Pu Yao… …his closest teacher. Pu Yao still wants to eat Xiao Guo, and after a lot of chapters, Zuo Mo finally agrees to get souls for Pu Yao.
