Chapter 247 - Go to Lijiang (1/2)

Chapter 247 Go to LijiangGao Ge learns the sword’s Taoism from Xiao Linran.

However, their understandings on it are different.

According to Xiao Linran, the sword’s Taoism is to sweep away everything that gets in his way.

It is not that Gao Ge doesn’t envy him, except that he hasn’t reached the level of the sword’s Taoism as high as Xiao Linran and been as determined as he is.

After taking three moves, Gao Ge cannot even hold his Flying Star Sword well.

“It seems that over the past time, you have made breakthrough in your sword’s Taoism.” Gao Ge sighs.

Xiao Linran laughs and withdraws his sword, asking, “Why are you back?”

“To take away the long sword.” Gao Ge says.

Xiao Linran is a bit surprised to ask, “Are you going to deal with the Ghost Sect’s people?”

Gao Ge nods his head. It is not difficult to guess. After all, Gao Ge is specialized in swordsmanship. In terms of long swords or knives, he is a layman.”

“Good. The Ghost Sect’s people have been over-active. You have been angry for what happened in Suzhou. It is not a good thing for you. Swordsmen should be faithful to themselves, who should not hide their feelings in their heart. Just one strike with the sword can deal with it.” Xiao Linran walks aside and wipes his sword, saying, “Since you are going to use a long sword, you must take it as a sword. It is merely not as sharp as a real sword.”

Gao Ge says with a bitter smile, “Mr. Xiao, you’ve put it too simply.”

“Isn’t it simple?” Xiao Linran asks, “Those capable swordsmen can take a tree branch as a sword or use a grass to kill people. With the sword’s intent, they always have a sword, which is only a carrier.”

Gao Ge says in surprise, “Mr. Xiao, can you do that?”

“I can’t.”

Gao Ge gives a bitter smile.

Even you can do that. How come you tell me that?

“I can’t. It doesn’t mean that you can’t either.” Xiao Linran says, “In terms of talent and mysterious experiences, you are much better than me. As to the things that I cannot do, you may be able to do it. It is only a matter of time.”

Gao Ge doesn’t say anything. Xiao Linran also changes the topic. Although he holds high expectation for Gao Ge, cultivation must be done step by step, especially the pursuit of sword’s Taoism. No matter how talented you are, you cannot create remarkable sword moves with a tree branch within a short period of time.

“Do you have anything bothering?”

Gao Ge is confused.

“I always feel that you have questions to ask me but you just can’t say it.” Xiao Linran says smilingly.

Gao Ge nods his head smilingly, “I have heard a lot about you recently.”

“About me?” Xiao Linran laughs, “What did they say about me? A traitor or an ungrateful man?”

Gao Ge feels rather embarrassed.

He was not going to ask but unexpectedly, Xiao Linran just said it out bluntly.

Gao Ge who has been seen through is a bit awkward. After all, the comments on Xiao Linran don’t sound nice.

Xiao Linran shakes his head, saying, “Actually, it is not important. As long as I know I am right, I don’t need to explain to anyone. As you know, I teach you swordsmanship, which makes me sort of your teacher, right? However, if I help the Ghost Sect kill people everywhere one day, will you spare my life for the past affection? You won’t. Neither will I allow that. If you are the kind of people who will, I won’t let you enter the Sword Gallery.”

He has made it very clearly.

Gao Ge nods his head with a smile. He suddenly has a feeling of letting go.

Although he has heard a lot about Xiao Linran, he has never suspected anything. He is only curious.
