Vol 2 Chapter 6 (1/2)
Book 2, Chapter 6 – Ji Ning and Serpentwing
The hall was very silent, with the thick candles flickering and casting their light everywhere
Ji Ning’s head was lowered as he devoured the food in front of hi down all of thehis father’s return, so he actually had the rare chance to drink some wine
“Father” Ning spoke out
“Mm” Ji Yichuan frowned as he looked at his son
Ning could sense that his father wasn’t in a very goodhad resulted in failure To kill a late-stage water-type Xiantian level Dire in the depths of a lake was simply too difficult If the Ji clan of the West Prefecture truly wanted to directly slaughter Serpentwing, they could if they paid a large price for it, but clearly, the Ji clan of the West Prefecture wasn’t willing to pay that price For the sake of their pride and honor, the Ji clan of the West Prefecture had already wiped out the other creatures in Serpentwing Lake, then stationed soldiers all around Serpentwing Lake, as well as nu to be afraid to leave Serpentwing Lake This would be a long battle Once Serpentwing becahtest bit incautious, the Ji clan of the West Prefecture’s Xiantian lifeforhter him
“I want to go out and adventure” Ning spoke
“Adventure?” Yichuan frowned
Yuchi Snow said hurriedly, “Ning, you were just a Diremonsters are Outside the Western Prefecture…there are houtside…you are still too young Wait a few more years”
“In the West Prefecture, I no longer have anyone who shook his head
Yichuan snapped coldly, “How old are you? Wait until you are at least sixteen before going out and adventuring”
“But Father!” Ning said urgently, “I’ve been in the Western Prefecture since I was a child I’ve always stayed in this small little area of the Western Prefecture I want to see the countless tribes in the greater world I want to be like Father, to go out and adventure, to experience danger, to go fight with those Diremonsters and kill them”
“Diremonsters? Just based on your little bit of power…” Yichuan shook his head
“What’s the proble said hurriedly “Even under Serpentwing’s full strength attacks, I was still able to survive What’s the probleth?”
Yichuan was startled, and seeht I haven’t had the chance to ask you How did you survive Serpentwing’s attack?”
The nearby Snow laughed “Yichuan, you’ve been dealing with Serpentwing this entire time and hadn’t had the chance to come back, so we haven’t had the chance to tell you Our son, in that , has reached the ‘one with the world’ level of footwork Relying on his ‘one with the world’ level of footwork, he was able to escape Serpentwing’s attacks
“One with the world?” Yichuan stared at Ning in astonishment
At merely ten years old, he had reached the level of ‘one with the world’ in footwork?
“Receive three sword blows from me” With a sudden flip of his hands, Yichuan made three hazy sword-shadows suddenly appear and surround Ning, attacking as fast as lightning
Ning had been kneeling down at the dinner table Now, he suddenly dodged aside gracefully, racefully as the wind
“What do you think?” Ning said proudly
“You really have reached it” Yichuan stared at his son in amazement “One with the world Your footwork has reached the ‘one with the world’ level Then your swordplay…isn’t too off fro the ‘one with the world’ level as well”
Yichuan looked as his son, his heart swelling with exciteh level of talent In the area around S Mountain, he was definitely an extremely rare, monster of a talent Such incredible talent couldn’t be treated as a nor’s rapid rate of i left in West Prefecture City which would prove useful for hi
“If you want to go out and adventure, that isn’t completely out of the question” Yichuan looked at his son “But you need to accomplish a requirement of mine”
“Yichuan!” Snoas a bit frantic, but Yichuan stretched his hand out, stopping her
“Father, speak” Ning was full of excitement
Yichuan nodded “The Ceremony of the Golden Sword is hosted once every four years It is a ceree of sixteen will participate in I want you to seize the golden sword during this year’s Cere as you are able to seize the golden sword, I will per”
“Golden sword?” Ning’s eyes lit up
He had known long ago about the agreeolden sword, he would beco these recent years of training…his father had also spoken to hiolden sword to become the Prefecture Lord’
“Seizing the golden sword is very easy” Ning looked at Yichuan suspiciously “Father, I only need to use perhaps a tenth of olden sword This isn’t much of a test for me Can it be that Father, you truly care so much about the Prefecture Lord position?”
His father’s heart was totally set on the Immortal Path
Ning naturally also had the same desire to step on the Immortal Path
“Prefecture Lord position?” Yichuan shook his head “You are the son of Ji Yichuan, o even farther than me…the position of Prefecture Lord of the Ji clan of the West Prefecture will only be a constraint on you You will definitely spread your wings and fly higher”
Ning was confused “Then Father, why do you wish olden sword?”
“First, to let Ji Lee know that he can stop drea” Yichuan said “The second reason, you will discover after you seize the golden sword So long as you can seize the golden sword, I will pero out and adventure But if you are unable to seize it, then be a good child and stay in the Western Prefecture City”
“Alright” Ning grinned widely
The nearby Snow, on the other hand, was frantic
“Enough, you can go back and get some rest now” Yichuan said
Ning immediately jumped up and returned to his rooan to explain the reason for his actions to his wife, Snow
