Chapter 385.1 (1/2)

Bloody Gourd

Ten days passed by and the both of them had consumed tens of thousands of bottles of first level and second level spiritual wines.

Another ten days went by and nearly one thousand bottles of third level and fourth level spiritual wines were emptied.

In the ten days after that, Ning Fan and Yun Tianjue each took one hundred bottles of fifth level spiritual wines and drank together. Furthermore, they had yet to utter a single word.

For the entire month, the both of them did not even have a single conversation and the atmosphere was somewhat weird.

Ning Fan was secretly thinking that this so-called test was not as easy to pass as it seemed as he had yet to satisfy the white-robed gentleman after drinking so many bottles of spiritual wines.

One month has passed. I guess Bei Xiaoman has already been awake for one month.

I wonder if she would feel worried or not since she couldn’t find me after waking up, especially after her first time…

While drinking a fifth level spiritual wine, he delivered a message-transmitting flying sword at the direction of Penglai Immortal Island with the intention to calm Bei Xiaoman’s heart.

However, his attention was diverted because of this, causing the alcohol to disturb his mind. A burning sensation flowed across his body and his expression revealed a hint of intoxication.

The reason why he was not drunk after drinking so much spiritual wine was because he was tenaciously guarding his heart and soul, preventing them from getting chaotic.

Even so, if someone becomes distracted in a situation like this, they would lose their conscious self even if the wine was not intoxicating.

Ning Fan straightened his back, gathering himself together. His expression turned solemn as he cleared the feeling of getting drunk from his state of mind.

It’s a close call.

Just a little more and I would’ve been drunk.

Yun Tianjue who was sitting in front of him put down his wine bottle and looked at Ning Fan with displeasure.

“Your mind is disturbed. Was that message-transmitting flying sword for your woman? Sword cultivators like us should tie our hearts and souls to our swords and never be attached to lust and affection. Without a clear heart and a strong determination in persevering the Dao, it would be difficult to achieve the Dao of Swords in the end.”

“So what if the Dao of Swords will be difficult to achieve? What’s the point of achieving the Dao of Swords if one has nothing left other than himself and a sword ?”

Ning Fan shook his head. Attaching one’s heart and soul to their sword was probably the Dao of Swords that this senior had comprehended. However, this was not his perception on the Dao of Swords.

His Dao of Swords was not about attaching oneself to their sword. Instead, it was to keep his loved ones safe and happy using a long sharp sword. Whether he succeeds or fails to attain the Dao in the end did not matter to him.

“What’s the point of it if you end up with nothing other than yourself and your sword in the end… You’re right. I’m looking for someone.”

Yun Tianjue’s brows became tightly knitted together. He tightened his grip and crushed the wine bottle in his hand. It was clear that Ning Fan had hit a sore point of his as he also seemed to be in the state of being drunk.

As soon as Ning Fan caught sight of that, he was rather astonished.

I originally thought that this senior was just a sword cultivator who was only obsessed with swords. Now, however, it doesn’t seem to be the case.

The white-robed gentleman’s sword intent was extremely strong. Moreover, in terms of sword intent alone, Ning Fan had never seen anyone with a sword intent as strong as his.

Even the secret sword arts of the Sword Emperor seemed dull and ordinary in front of him.

This gentleman is not a cultivator of the Sword World but he is even stronger than the Divine Sovereign of the Sword World?

If I’m not wrong, his sword intent is the intent of the Heartless Sword. It does not allow even the slightest trace of existence of emotions. This person must also be a ruthless and cold-blooded cultivator.

However, the drunk expression that he suddenly had just now obviously showed that his genuine feelings are actually still around in the depth of his heart.

Ning Fan’s eyes shone with seriousness. In the Rain World, there were only a handful of Void Fragmentation Realm experts. Judging by his profoundness in the Dao of Swords, his identity was obvious…

He is Yun Tianjue, the White-Robed Sword God!

“Is Senior looking for someone? I am also looking for someone out there.” Ning Fan recalled Old Ancestor Dong Xu’s divination and changed the topic of conversation.

In order to discover your mother’s whereabouts, you have to find Yun Tianjue!

In the past, he had heard that Yun Tianjue was savage and merciless and that rumor made him hesitate. Thus, he did not go and look for him hastily.

Today, since that man had come straight to him, he could ask about Ning Qian’s whereabouts by means of devious questioning.

“You are also looking for someone, huh? Judging by how lonesome your figure looks, I suppose you haven’t found the person you wanted to meet, have you?” Yun Tianjue did not like to talk. However, he was no longer taciturn in front of Ning Fan.

“Indeed. I want to find a woman and her name is… Ning Qian!”

After Ning Fan said that name, he carefully observed Yun Tianjue’s expression.
