Chapter 92 – Intentions! (1/2)
One day later, the Sword Sect’s Inner Court Exam was held as scheduled. However, it had nothing to do with Yang Ye any longer. After he left Sky Hall that day, Yang Ye brought Little Yao with him to the Talisman Peak. Only Bao’er and her grandfather lived on Talisman Peak, so Bao’er was usually extremely bored. Now that Little Yao had come over, she’d become extremely happy, and she immediately took Little Yao as her younger sister. Moreover, she even said that whoever bullied Little Yao would be considered to have bullied her!
Yang Ye was happy as well when he saw them get along like sisters. However, Yang Ye was slightly depressed because this new Master of his had forced him to read a bunch of scrolls as soon as they returned to Talisman Peak. He swore that he almost fainted on the spot when he saw the scrolls that filled the library.
However, in order to leave a good impression on this Master of his, Yang Ye started reading in a serious manner. In the beginning, he felt slightly depressed, but as he read and read, he became immersed in them. Because these scrolls didn’t just contain a great deal of experience and techniques from Talisman Masters, there were even numerous extremely valuable Talisman Secret Techniques.
Talisman Secret Techniques were techniques that could be inscribed on Dark Treasures. In the beginning, Yang Ye thought that Talisman Masters could inscribe any technique on a Dark Treasure so long as they willed it. However, things were quite different from how he imagined it. Because it was extremely difficult to inscribe a technique onto a treasure.
Because it required a Talisman Master to record the method this technique circulated through the meridians. How numerous were the meridians in the body? So, how complicated would it be to record the method the technique circulated through the meridians? Especially when it was techniques at the Profound Rank and above, the pathways of circulation they took were extremely complicated to a horrifying degree. Moreover, even if a Talisman Master was able to record all of this, it still required countless tests before it could truly be accomplished. Because once even a trace of a mistake arose, then it might even be lethal.
In short, a Talisman Secret Technique was extremely precious, and even an ordinary Yellow Rank Talisman Secret Technique could be sold for over a million gold coins.
After he realized how precious the Talisman Secret Techniques were, Yang Ye grew even more hardworking. Just like that, Yang Ye stayed for within Lin Shan’s private library for three consecutive days.
On the fourth day, Yang Ye left the library because Su Qings.h.i.+ had arrived.
The Talisman Peak was one of the seven main peaks in the Sword Sect, so he naturally couldn’t be called small. Moreover, the peak of the mountain was enshrouded by clouds and mist, and there were countless flowers of an unknown name in full bloom there. It was like an immortal paradise, but it was just too desolate. Fortunately, Yang Ye and Little Yao’s arrival had added a great deal of vitality to the desolate Talisman Peak.
There were two buildings on Talisman Peak. One was the Talisman Hall, Lin Shan’s residence. However, Lin Shan basically never stayed there. The other building was a residence that was built in extremely luxuriously. However, only Bao’er lived there by herself. No, now Yang Ye and Little Yao lived there as well.
In Yang Ye’s room, Su Qings.h.i.+ gazed at Yang Ye and said, “Is it truly irreparable?”
Yang Ye understood what Su Qings.h.i.+ meant, and he immediately shook his head and said with a smile, “Qings.h.i.+, this is how I do things. If others don't abandon me, then I won’t abandon them as well. I originally took the Sword Sect to be my home, I took it to be my honor. I was honored to be a disciple of the Sword Sect. But how did the Sword Sect treat me? It wasn’t wrong for those elders to act for the sake of the Sword Sect, but I don’t want to be abandoned in the future. So, you don’t have to persuade me anymore!”
Su Qings.h.i.+ went silent. She understood Yang Ye’s feelings because no one would feel happy after being abandoned. However, she really didn’t wish for Yang Ye to leave the Sword Sect just like that because Yang Ye who’d comprehended Sword Intent would only be able to develop even better by staying in the Sword Sect. After all, the Sword Sect was a sect where everyone cultivated in the sword!
“Right!” Yang Ye suddenly said, “Bao’er told me that someone told her I was in danger, was that you?”
Yang Ye was slightly bewildered about why Lin Shan and Bao’er would have made an appearance at Sky Hall on that day, and he’d asked Bao’er about it after the incident. He found out that someone had notified Bao’er and told Bao’er that he was in danger, so Yang Ye thought about Su Qings.h.i.+ at the first possible moment.
Su Qings.h.i.+ nodded and said, “When I found out that the members of the Flower Palace had come to the Sword Sect, I knew that they’d come for you. So, I notified Bao’er so she could speak on your behalf. However, I never expected that she would bring her grandfather over, and I’d even never expected that Martial Uncle Yu Lin would make a decision immediately after sending me away.”
A warm feeling arose in Yang Ye’s heart when he heard this, and then he said in a serious manner, “Thank you!”
As if he’d thought of something, he asked. “Right, where are the members of the Flower Palace? Since the Sword Sect didn’t hand me over, they’ll definitely not let the matter rest, right!?”
Su Qings.h.i.+ said, “What can they do if they don’t intend to let the matter rest? You’re Master Lin Shan’s disciple now, and you belong to the Talisman Master’s a.s.sociation. Even though they’re members of the Flower Guard, they don’t dare to look for trouble with Master Lin. Not to mention Master Lin’s ident.i.ty as a Talisman Master, even Master Lin’s own strength at the Exalt Realm isn’t something that they have the qualifications to look for trouble with.”
“So, that’s how it is!” Yang Ye nodded. Now, he finally understood what it meant when others said there was great shade beneath huge trees.
“You’ve comprehended Sword Intent, so you’ll be able to develop even better by staying in the Sword Sect. As for what happened that day, I guarantee that it’ll absolutely not occur in the future. Alright?”
Su Qings.h.i.+ was still slightly unwilling to give up. Yang Ye was already the most monstrous geniuses she’d laid eyes on before he’d comprehended Sword Intent, and not that he’d comprehended Sword Intent, he could be considered a genius even amongst all the members of the younger generation in the southern territory. She truly didn’t wish for Yang Ye to turn to another power in the future.
When he heard Su Qings.h.i.+ trying to persuade him to join the Sword Sect again, Yang Ye didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, and he said, “Qings.h.i.+, the Sword Sect is a large sect. Even if it doesn’t have me, Yang Ye, it’s still a large sect. You truly don’t have to do all of this!”
