Chapter 203 Three Swords (1/2)
The two young men behind the serious looking cultivator laughed as Jiang Shuijie greeted.
The two were Shoujing and Shouxuan, who were injured by Zuo Shaoqing.
They initially held strong resentments towards Qingjiang Sword Sect, but with that mistake, they found it to be rather amusing.
One of the rather handsome young men who had clear brows and bright eyes was Shoujing, he said, ”This is the first seat at Discipline Hall, Ge Zhenren. You have mistaken. Our headmaster is very young and he will be here soon.”
The other young man who had a rather fierce look was Shouxuan. He did not seem too satisfied with Shoujing stepping into the conversation.
The reason why Shoujing took the name of silence, 'Jing', was because the master thought he could not stay silent. It was meant as a warning. Even though he knew the person was from Qingjiang Sword Sect, he still could not refrain himself from speaking other than simply keeping the amusement at heart. His more laid-back attitude compared to Shouxuan, as a result, while defeated, did not seem to affect him much.
If Shouxuan was not too happy about it, Shoujing decided to not speak more.
Ge Yuan said, ”Please wait here for a while, the chief will be here soon.”
It was rather noisy outside, and within the time of a breather, a young man entered the room.
Jiang Shuijie looked outside, it was a twenty-something young man. He had solid sword aura in his body, and at the same time, the Qi of vitality was circulating. He did not dare to make a move but simply to evaluate. In his mind, he thought this could be the one, a young man who came from outside.
He wanted to go forward and greet him, and since Ge Yuan and the others were doing the same, Jiang Shuijie could then affirm that this was the right person. He noticed there was a rather delicate and pretty man behind the young man but before he managed to evaluate him, he already greeted the young man.
The young man was stunned, and said, ”What are you doing?”
Choushi could not help but feel shocked when he saw a rather calm cultivator greeting him. He quickly avoided. Being based in Tianyuan Peak, he had met a lot of Huandan Doyen, and hence he could tell the cultivator had reached Dan Dao and could be considered his senior in cultivation.
Jiang Shuijie then realized he was wrong again. Not to mention what he was dressed in when he came closer, the spiritual pressure was low. It did not feel like the kind of cultivation experience where one's original simplicity was restored.
He did not know what to expect when he came to Qing Xuan – he tried to be extra careful but because of that, he lost his peaceful Daoist heart. As such, he was in a panic.
He laughed at himself, and later he heard the serious looking cultivator, the bearded man, and the two young men greeted the delicate and pretty man at the back, ”Greetings, headmaster.”
Jiang Shuijie could not help but look up at the man. He had bright eyes, and a red mark in the middle of his brows. It looked like as if he had stars in his eyes. He had red lips and white teeth. He looked as if he was underage, as he had not been tainted by the worldly desires.
When his glance fell on the delicate and pretty man, he felt like his mind and spirit were faced with a steel wall up front. He felt dizzy. The pressure was heavy as if there was a mountain on him. The feeling only disappeared after he lowered his lead and stopped evaluating.
The man went by him, followed by Ge Yuan and the rest. Jiang Shuijie followed unknowingly.
He sat down on top of a rock bench. Ge Yuan then sat down on his right on a cushion. The others stood aside.
Jiang Shuijie was now clearly aware that he was currently faced with the bona fide chief of Qing Xuan.
However, after making a mistake twice, he tried to calm down before he bowed and greeted, ”Please allow the attending Doyen of Qingjiang Sword Sect, Jiang Shuijie, to greet you, Shen Zhenren.”
Shen Lian looked at Yan Bugui. Seeing as he nodded, he knew that Yan Bugui thought this man had some potential in Dao.
He spoke slowly, ”Are you here for Swordsman Meng?”
Jiang Shuijie prepared a few responses but he did not expect Shen Lian to be so direct and hence he lost his composure. He nodded, ”My Uncle-Master is near Powang and he lost his mind. Junior Apprentice-Brother Zuo is young and naïve and hence he offended you. Please forgive him. ”
Shen Lian said, ”Swordsman Meng is well treated here. I did not do anything to him.”
Jiang Shuijie responded, ”Zhenren, thank you for your kindness and generosity. I hereby present some gifts for you in the name of our chief. Please take it as an apology for my Uncle-Master's mistakes. If you have any request, I will try my best to fulfill it.”
