Chapter 114 Why Did the Water Flow? (2/2)

Shen Lian did not accept it. He merely said, ”This is what they wanted from you.”

Bai Shaoliu nodded.

”Is it more precious than your life?”

Bai Shaoliu then answered, ”Yes.” When he said that, his voice got louder.

”And hence you're giving it to me? You must have thought this through to decide to bring it over,” Shen Lian replied softly.

Bai Shaoliu did not say anything.

For some people, life is precious because only when one is alive, he could do what was most important to him. Shen Lian allowed him to live, to him, it was not just about saving his life. Shen Lian gave him the hope to continue seeking revenge.

He also felt that the enemy would not be able to get hold of it if it was with Shen Lian.

Shen Lian continued, ”Do you want to be a student of mine?”

Bai Shaoliu looked at Shen Lian's handsome face. He knew how powerful Shen Lian was, but he never even had the thought to learn anything from Shen Lian. He already owed him his life. If he were to ask to be his student, it would be too much.

He never expected that Shen Lian would take the initiative to ask him.

He hesitated.

Shen Lian said, ”It seems like you do not want to accept this offer.”

”No, it is just because I don't know how I can repay you. I don't know what I can help you in.”

Bai Shaoliu sprouted a series of words continuously.

”You can owe it to me first,” Shen Lian laughed.

Bai Shaoliu thought he was dreaming. Shen Lian took over the fabric from his hand. The fabric carried the record of a type of sword art – Stream Sword.

The styles and the incantations were ordinary. They were a bit rough and had a lot of weaknesses.

Shen Lian took a look at it and returned it to Bai Shaoliu.

Bai Shaoliu was disappointed to see Shen Lian did not lose his composure. He was disappointed to think that maybe the sword art was worth nothing.

What Shen Lian said subsequently turned his thought around.

”This sword sect has some value. If you are successful in this, you will have little enemies in the mortal world. You will be able to taste the sweetness of revenge with this.”

”I have been practicing this for over ten years, but I have yet to feel how powerful it is.”

”Have you ever seen a stream? Do you know why water flows?”

Bai Shaoliu was stunned. He did not know the answer to this.

”You should pay a visit to Anping Canal to see why water flows. After you know the reason, then pay me a visit again.”

After Bai Shaoliu heard what Shen Lian said, while he did not know the reason, he followed suit. In terms of martial arts, he believed Shen Lian was one of the most powerful in the world.

He, of course, knew that Shen Lian was not a martial artist, but a cultivator.

Learning martial art was to strengthen the body and to obtain power.

Cultivating was to understand the principles of the heaven and earth, and for longevity and eternity.

They shared some similarities, but there were more differences.

Shen Lian gave the Stream Sword technique a glance, and he knew the meaning behind this. It was not a sword art, but a piece that described the mysterious power on heaven and earth.

It was speaking about the principles of why water flows. If one were able to understand the principle of it, then he could learn this art and make it powerful.

It was a sword art in Daoism, not something in the mortal realm of martial art.

If one were to learn it with the thought of martial art and attempt to understand the power of the sword art, then one could learn nothing from it.
