Chapter 38 Tit for Ta (2/2)

The palanquin suddenly stopped at the bottom of Qielan Mountain. Over Qielan Mountain was the State Capital of Qing.

”Young master, this is Qielan Mountain, where Ling Chongxiao killed Yang Xuan. There is one road up the mountain, and one road down. To go over this mountain, however, we have to take the road which is very far,” the bearer in the front said calmly, his voice sonorous and forceful, like steel metal hitting on rocks.

His physique was straight, a green steel sword hanging from his waist.

He did not shiver at all in this cold dark weather. The same thing goes to the bearer in the back.

”There were rumors that Ling Chongxiao almost entered the path. His junior fellow apprentice, Yang Xuan, was a one of a kind master during his time, he even dared to cross Shibi Khan of the Gobi desert. Ling Chongxiao was able to kill Yang Xuan, while I cannot even kill Bai Yufei. I think in order to win against him, I'll have to wait until after I enter the school of Celestialism, but Ling Chongxiao probably would not even take me seriously by then.” The voice that came from the palanquin was obviously a man, there was a deep underlying loneliness tangled between his words.

”That Bai Yufei's martial arts skill is not great but his Qinggong is an inborn skill for him. It was not because of your martial arts skill that young master could not kill him. At this age, Ling Chongxiao definitely would not be on par with you, what more is that young master is going to obtain longevity and pursue the path sooner or later, which means you surpass him by leaps and folds.”

”You rather know what to say, Jian Shisan. Jian Shisi, what do you think about what Jian Shisan said?” The young master asked. It was apparent that the man in front was Jian Shisan, Jian Shisi was the bearer in the back.

”I don't know.” These three words were like being squeezed out from a stone. After finishing these three words, it was as though he had finished all his words for the day and would not even open his mouth to say another word.

”Oh you, Jian Shisi. You're always this boring, no wonder you couldn't get yourself a wife.” It seemed as though the person within the palanquin was enjoying teasing his two servants and he became slightly cheerful.

”Young master, are we going up the mountains and entering the city by tomorrow?”

”Let's just rest at the top of the mountain for one night. Within tomorrow, we'll go get the Green Bamboo Sect's item and take care of Bai Yufei at the same time.”

”The Green Bamboo Sect is nothing in the State Capital of Qing, but that Shen Lian of Shen family, it was said that he was remarkable even at a young age. He acquired his martial art skills from Yang Xuan but he had surpassed him. Young master, do you want to meet this young prodigy?”

”I've heard of that Shen Lian. According to God of the Wind, Xiu Che, people who meet him would remark him as unforgettable. Since we're already here, there is no reason to not meet him,” the person in the palanquin chuckled lightly.

The mountain road was steep and slippery. Jian Shisan and Jian Shisi, who was carrying the palanquin, were walking like they were on flat ground.

It did not take look until they saw a temple. That was the Qielan Temple.

The powdery snow blanketed the stony steps, the glistening moonlight conjured the endless admiration of the people.

Dim lights came faintly from the inside. The green light was like a pea, the ancient temple deep and serene.

”Young master, there seems to be someone inside. Wait until Jian Shisan personally enters and scout the area. Jian Shisi, you remain where you are.”

Jian Shisi grunted in approval, the person inside the palanquin did not have any opinions.

Jian Shisan followed the snowy staircase and entered the ancient temple, where he saw a beautiful woman draped in red scarves came out.

It was Xin Shisiniang.

”Did you come to spend the night here? You can go to the backyard.”

Jian Shisan answered, ”Yes, we are here to spend the night. Thank you very much, lady.”

While he answered her, he noticed from the corner of his eyes that while Xin Shisiniang came out from the hall, she actually did not leave even one footprint at all.
