Chapter 221 - Gathering for Cultivation (21) (1/2)

“Master Xuan Ji, the sect leader sent me to inform you that three days hence, the Lingjian Peak will be open to the Foundation Establishment disciples for them to take swords.”

In the early morning, a disciple of Wuying Peak suddenly went up Lingjian Peak, bringing the sect leader’s verbal instruction to Ming Shu.

“Take swords?” Ming Shu cocked one of her legs and bounced it rhythmically.

The disciple couldn’t bear to look directly at this. He replied with his head lowered: “Yes.”

“Hoh…” That one just gave me a unilateral order not long ago. Now he wanted to come to Lingjian Peak to take swords? Does he think that he is an almighty god?

The disciple didn’t know what the meaning of Ming Shu’s weird smile was, but he had already delivered the message.

As to whether Ming Shu agreed or not, that was not his business. He then turned around and ran away quickly.

The newly appointed peak master is scary.

It was a happy event for the Foundation Establishment disciples to take swords, and the swords of Lingjian Peak were much better than those from outside.

The entire sect was bustling.

Then came the day of taking swords.

All the Foundation Establishment disciples who would participate in taming swords were gathered in front of Lingjian Peak, while disciples who just entered the internal division were standing on the edge to be loyal onlookers.

“Today is the first time taking swords on Lingjian Peak after a hundred years. We don’t know what changes you may encounter on the peak, so everyone, take care of yourselves.”

Someone was explaining the rules to the participants. Except for this voice, there were only the sounds of the rushing stream echoing in the mountain.

“Sect Master, it’s time to inform Junior Sister Xuan Ji.” Someone reminded the sect leader of this.

The sect leader stood in a spot the disciple couldn’t see. He looked at the sky and nodded.

Then the magic in his hand turned into a spirit crane and flew to Lingjian Peak.

However, just as the spirit crane was approaching Lingjian Peak, it turned into a spot of light and disappeared into the air.

Everyone’s expressions changed.

Lingjian Peak… how is it closed again?

“Sect Master… this…?”

The only thing that could close Lingjian Mountain now was the Taiyan Sword, and the owner of the Taiyan Sword was Xuan Ji, so it went without saying.

She didn’t want these disciples to take swords.

The sect leader never expected that Ming Shu would give him such a cold shoulder. In front of so many disciples, how could he afford to lose face?

“Xuan Ji is going too far!” The peak master of Chihuo Peak couldn’t help but curse in rage. “She is really taking herself as the owner of Lingjian Peak? Does she have any respect for the sect master and the sect?”

“Sect Master, you should talk to Junior Sister Xuan Ji, don’t let so many disciples see this as a joke,” the good-tempered peak master of Xingxiang Peak suggested.

As the spirit crane couldn’t get in, the sect master had to try to contact Ming Shu through sound transmission.

Fortunately, the sound was not blocked.

“Xuan Ji, remove the barriers of Lingjian Peak,” the voice of the sect leader was slightly deep. “The sect’s major event doesn’t allow you to make jokes.”

No response.

But soon there was a figure atop the Taiyan Sword appearing in front of the Lingjian Peak.

The disciples below naturally saw it as well, and they were boiling.

“It’s Xuan Ji…”

“She was an outer sect servant disciple previously. And now she is a master of a peak overnight.”

“Humph, who knows how she became the peak master.”

All kinds of discussions spread out in the crowd. But most were words laced with envy and jealousy.

The girl’s clear and crisp voice carried over. “Senior Brother Sect Master, I didn’t say I’d open Lingjian Peak.”

The sect master asked, “Didn’t you get my notice?”

Ming Shu chuckled. “I did, but I didn’t agree. To give me notice is your business, but to agree or not is my business. ”

Sect Master: “…”

Discussions from below became more and more turbulent. The sect leader pressed down his anger and asked again, “What do you want so that you’ll let them go up the mountain and take swords?”

“That’s easy.” Ming Shu looked very willing to negotiate. “Get me some food as the toll, then I’ll let them go up.”

Everyone: “…” She closed the Lingjian Peak just for food?

There must be something wrong with her brain.

Ming Shu’s request was a bit too far-fetched, but it was not difficult to meet. The sect leader ordered to prepare some food and send it to Ming Shu.

But… the food was not enough to persuade Ming Shu—she rejected immediately at first. Although the sect leader was so angry that he really wanted to kill this crazy new peak master, he had to hold back his anger and keep sending more food to her. The carriers went back and forth several times, then finally Ming Shu was barely satisfied.
