Chapter 493 Sword of the Emperor (1/2)

Shen Lian said to Lei Jing, ”Go, sleep for a while.”

Lei Jing fell asleep for real as she was truly exhausted. This slumber was especially unstable. She had many dreams. In her dreams, there was Shen Lian, her uncle, endless mountains filled with corpses and sea filled with blood. It was very hard for her to wake up.

Shen Lian walked out of Zhiwei Home. Within the school now, ivy blanketed everywhere and the green trees provided shades. The Xia Canal that was introduced by Shen Lian was now nourishing the grounds in the school.

Besides Guan Longzi, nobody else knew what methods Shen Lian had used to divert the water from the Xia Canal since there was no way of noticing it from the outside.

Wuding stopped by the stream of running water within the school. He used a piece of wood and carved out a sword that was the same as the original green copper sword. He swung and danced with the sword while enjoying the morning breeze.

He was a withdrawn person who hardly communicated with the people from his clan. Even though he had become Guan Zilong's student, there was nothing that could be exchanged with those people. Furthermore, that Fei Zhong had an unknowable hostility towards him.

”Has anyone told you that you are not suitable for learning the sword?”

Wuding looked back and he was unsure when Shen Lian had appeared on the green grassland not far away from him. The grass was very soft and yet he could easily stand on the tip of the grass, not crushing any of the leaves.

Even Wuding could not tell whether Shen Lian had used his mana. At that moment, Shen Lian could be described using a phrase, which was the leaves grew from the root and stem while Shen Lian grew from the tip of the grass.

It was as though this matter had already been justified and there was no need to get to the bottom of it.

Wuding sheathed the sword with one hand and walked closer to Shen Lian. He said ”Why would you say that I am not suitable to learn the sword. My uncle once said that the sword is a person of noble character and also the king of weapons in the world. By applying the way of the king to this world, thus, this world would comply.”

Shen Lian answered with mirth, ”From this saying, I can already know. Tianyi is truly a rare and genuine king, which is why I think Tianyi must have used a sword.”

Wuding smiled, ”You have deduced wrongly, my prince. My uncle has never used a sword or any kind of weapon.”

Shen Lian shook his head, ”Tianyi does use a sword. In fact, he uses the Sword of the Emperor.”

Wuding's expression changed as he warned, ”Be careful with your words, my prince. The Sword of the Emperor has the word 'emperor' in it. That would mean only Emperor Xia could use it. How could my uncle be using it? Furthermore, I have never heard of the Sword of the Emperor.”

Shen Lian asked lightly, ”Then, would you want to hear what the Sword of the Emperor is?”

Wuding's mind was indeed very curious but he knew that there were things that one should refrain from asking. That was why he pondered slightly and answered, ”I do not.”

Shen Lian chuckled and went to his side, his body light as a smoke. Shen Lian patted him on the shoulders and whispered, ”Actually, you're suitable to train with knives.”

Just as he got near to Wuding light as smoke earlier, he left with the exact same manner.

Wuding was indeed suitable to use the knife because he had always been a quiet person. Therefore, whenever he wanted to do something, he was especially clear-cut.

No matter the kind of knife method, it was overbearing and straightforward. After all, this was the nature of the knife.

Tianyi used the way of the king, Wuding was then the potent one.

Wuding might think that he and Tianyi were still worlds away, but the Flying Stars Incantation could help him shorten that distance. It was just that he himself was unclear of it.
