Chen Changsheng was extremely talented in terms of cultivation, but his knowledge of the secular world was rather mediocre. He blankly stared for a long time before reacting, then after a period of serious thought, he said, ”If I have the opportunity, I will persuade His Majesty the White Emperor and have the sword manual of the Mount Li Sword Style returned.”
Several hundred years ago, the allied army of humans and demi-humans embarked on a northward expedition against the Demon race. Several elders of the Mount Li Sword Sect in charge of transporting supplies were late on a delivery and were given the punishment of execution.
With no better method, the Mount Li Sword Sect sent the manual for its sword style to White Emperor City, causing the White Emperor to issue an imperial decree to force Jin Yulu to relent.
To the Mount Li Sword Sect, nothing could be better than regaining the sword manual of the Mount Li Sword Style without getting in conflict with White Emperor City.
At present, the person with the highest chances of accomplishing this feat was naturally Chen Changsheng.
The Mount Li Sword Sect Master was very satisfied at Chen Changsheng's promise.
But Qiushan Jun was slightly raising his brows, somewhat unhappy.
His martial granduncle Su Li had once said that the things lost by Mount Li naturally needed to taken back by Mount Li.
But since this was the intent of his master, the Sect Master, he was in no position to express his opposition to Chen Changsheng.
Resolving Zhexiu's illness had been the greatest concern, so Chen Changsheng was now in a much better mood. He asked, ”Can they meet now?”
The Sect Master shook his head. ”Even if that wolf child learns the Just Sword's Clear Music, it can only temporarily suppress his illness, not cure it. They naturally cannot meet yet.”
Chen Changsheng felt very helpless. ”What need is there for this?”
The Mount Li Sword Sect Master also felt very helpless. ”This is the will of Junior Martial Uncle. Who dares to defy it?”
Chen Changsheng knew Su Li's personality, so there was nothing he could say.
Qiushan Jun suddenly said, ”I think Martial Granduncle made a mistake in this matter.”
The Sect Master replied, ”But he is your Martial Granduncle. You must respect and love him.”
Qiushan Jun responded, ”Given Martial Granduncle's personality, it's truly hard for anyone to love or respect him.”
Chen Changsheng recalled that journey back south from the snowy plains and glanced at Qiushan Jun, knowing what he was thinking and what worries were on his mind.
In that instant, they felt like they had returned to Sloping Cliff Horse Farm.
But it was only an instant, and they quickly felt uncomfortable and looked away.
”Is there really no way to stretch the rules a little?”
He said to the Sect Master, ”In any case, Senior Su Li isn't here.”
The Sect Master answered, ”Although Junior Martial Uncle has left, his sword is still at the mountain.”
Chen Changsheng felt like there was another meaning in these words and asked, ”Sword?”
The Sect Master explained, ”Junior Martial Uncle left a sword behind. If someone is able to surpass this sword, they can ignore his decrees.”
Chen Changsheng thought, then said, ”I want to try.”
”I will not hide it from you. Wanting to break that sword is extremely dangerous.”
The Mount Li Sword Sect Master sternly warned, ”Junior Martial Uncle is your teacher on the path of the sword, so you can be considered my junior brother. I am not willing to see you take this risk.”
Chen Changsheng replied, ”This humble junior dares not accept.”
He was referring to how the Sect Master called him 'junior brother'.
The Mount Li Sword Sect Master laughed and said, ”It was truly a slip of the tongue. Even if you dared to accept it, I wouldn't dare to really address you as such, or else some people wouldn't be happy.”
If Chen Changsheng became the Mount Li Sword Sect Master's junior brother, wouldn't he become the martial uncle to Qiushan Jun and the rest of the Divine Kingdom's Seven Laws?
As for who wouldn't be happy, the answer was obvious.
Chen Changsheng glanced at Qiushan Jun.
Qiushan Jun ignored his gaze, saying to the Mount Li Sword Sect Master, ”Master, if Junior Sister were to hear this conversation, just how much of your beard do you think you could keep?”
