Chapter 115 There Is No Dus (2/2)

Ruoxi then said to him, ”I understand why you asked him the question, and how it is related to the Stream Sword technique.”

Shen Lian smiled and patted her head, ”How do you know?”

Ruoxi replied, ”Water flows, it is because it flows, then it's called a stream. The stream will not stop, and similarly to the sword art. If you understand how it can flow like water, it will then become Stream Sword.”

The power of flowing water was tremendous. Even if a dam was built, water could only be held back for a short while. Ultimately it would break through the barrier. It then would not be a small stream, but a disaster which could destroy everything.

Shen Lian sighed, and said, ”You're just too brilliant.”

For a child to be able to figure this out, wherever she was, it was extremely rare. Shen Lian, however, did not know whether it was a good or a bad thing.

When he was at her age, he probably enjoyed playing with mud more.

Ruoxi's intelligence was partly contributed by his teaching, but it was also because she had the talent.

Shen Lian thought about the phrase, ”Spoil things by undue haste”, he wondered what would become of this.

Ruoxi could not understand the meaning behind the sigh, but she supposed she had annoyed him.

Bai Shaoliu returned to Fuman Inn, which was the name of the inn owned by Zhou Ling.

The inn owner wanted to know what Shen Lian's reply was. He was surprised to see why the inn owner was suddenly interested in this, as she was usually only interested in money.

Was it because she liked Shen Lian? While Shen Lian looked really young, it was probable that he was already nearing 50. He heard that if one's martial art reached a certain level, one could reverse aging.

Although the inn owner was still beautiful, women aged easily, and Shen Lian was not a common man.

The inn owner pinched her sexy red lips into a line. Some doubts flashed through her eyes, and she came to a revelation. She glanced at Bai Shaoliu and said, ”If he asked you to think, you should just go ahead. If you can't figure out an answer after all, then you should go to him again.”

Bai Shaoliu acknowledged that, and subsequently he heard, ”Remember to do the dishes. I am going to take a bath and sleep. I hate this goddamn weather.”

After he heard that, he felt a flush on his face and he suddenly thought of one thing – he had never seen her sweat. Even though this place was situated close to the waters and hence not particularly hot, it would still be easy for someone normal to just sweat.

From this, he figured that the inn owner was not someone normal.

Everyone had their secrets. The inn owner never asked him about his, and hence he would respect her and do the same. Furthermore, he should have thought about that, why would a normal woman save someone who was covered in blood? Even if one was kind, she would not have the guts to do so.

The inn owner liked to take a bath. She thought that by dipping herself in clean hot water was the best enjoyment in life.

She also liked this phrase, ”Human can dirty the water, but water can't do the same to a human. As it goes, there is no dust left.”

When she thought of this phrase, she suddenly heard it. It did not come from her, but from another person.

There was someone in the room. It was a beautiful phrase coming out from her mouth.

She was Zhao Xiaoyu, Zhao Xiaoyu who was unsullied by the dust.

Zhao Xiaoyu was still dressed in white robes, or one could say she was wearing a pure white veil. She appeared all in a sudden, if accompanied by celestial music, one would not doubt that a fairy had arrived.

The inn owner had a complicated look in her eyes when she saw her. She then said, ”I can't imagine that you will still be looking for me at this day and age.”
