Chapter 613 Divine Blade (2/2)

Guan Longzi and Shen Lian were among the very few people Wuding admired. Previously, Wuding had received information that Guan Longzi had passed away. He did not want Shen Lian to be in a situation that could jeopardize his safety.

He also knew that there was no way that he could influence the thoughts of great figures like Shen Lian and Uncle Tianyi. He also had no say in the actions of his master and grandmaster. Although all of them believed that he would master the Flying Star Incantation, achieve greatness and be the next generation leader of Yinshang, he had no self-confidence at all.

Furthermore, he did not want to take up such a burden. The happiest moments of his life was the time he spent at Diqiu. Although he was troubled by a whole lot of issues, he enjoyed the time he spent learning from Guan Longzi and Shen Lian. Not only could he feel his progress, he also did not have to bear that much expectations back then. Moreover, the goal of rescuing Uncle Tianyi kept him on track without losing himself.

With complex emotions, Wuding returned to the palace. He took the dragon meat, dragon liver and a bottle of celestial wine. As he was about to depart to the Residence of the Grand Preceptor, he sensed something odd and drew out his blade. The Qi of vitality of the heaven and earth were attracted to his blade as his blade sparkle like the star. If an outsider saw him, they would think that Wuding's blade was a shooting star beyond the universe.

Wuding's blade was fully activated by his spiritual senses. With the addition of his complex emotions, the blade unintentionally attained the abstruse of the Supreme Dao of Blade.

As he drew his blade, he felt somewhat lost in his heart.

Just like the calligraphers in the mortal world, when their emotions were disturbed or when they were stimulated emotionally, they would produce greatness in their work. Many masterpieces that have survived through time were produced in such manner. Even if the calligrapher returned to the same situation, it would be difficult for them to reproduce the same artwork.

But the effect of his blade did not live up its name of the divine blade. A finger gently touched it and its divine Qi disappeared.

Wuding looked and struggled to speak. He forced himself to stay composed and said, ”Why are you here?”

The person who blocked Wuding's divine blade was not anyone else but Shen Lian. Shen Lian smiled and said, ”Am I not allowed to enter Yinshang?”

Shen Lian's calm composure helped Wuding to calm down. Wuding responded, ”Please leave.”

Shen Lian said, ”You have delicacies and fine wine in your hands but you are asking me to leave. Are you afraid that I will eat those up?”

Wuding smiled bitterly, ”If there is something that you want to eat and if it is something that I can offer, I would definitely offer you. But you should know better that this is not the reason why I asked you to leave. Please stop joking around.”

Shen Lian replied, ”Wuding, your heart is too soft. People may think that you are not strong enough to achieve greatness but I really admire the sentimentality in your character.”

Wuding said, ”I know that life is like a game for you. But please have some mercy for people like us who are trapped in worldly suffering. Is it really necessary for you to meddle in this puddle of dirty water? It would only make other people unhappy and you too would end up being unhappy.”

Shen Lian smiled, ”You have progressed so much and are capable of applying your knowledge to mortal affairs. Guan Longzi indeed taught you well. Although he has passed away, I am sure he would be very proud to have a disciple like you.”

Wuding responded, ”Please don't praise me. Everyone says how good I am but I do not like such compliments. In fact, I am very envious of you although I know that it is impossible for me to be like you. That is why I am feeling so wishy-washy and struggling emotionally.”

Shen Lian laughed out loud and Wuding was afraid that his master and grandmaster would find out that Shen Lian was indeed in Zhaoge. It would definitely trigger many unpredictable developments of events.

Shen Lian continued, ”It has been a while since I last drank with someone. Why don't you accompany me today?”

”I am not worthy enough to drink with you.” Wuding shook his head and laughed bitterly.

”There is no caste system on the table of wine. I can promise you that I have no other purpose and I all I wanted is a good drinking session, and I can also make you feel better.” Shen Lian laughed.
