481 Tanqiu Afraid to Fight? (1/2)
Jueyu, opposite her, didn't attack. He just casually threw the black broadsword to the side with no intention to keep it for sentimental value.
Although he had nourished this sword for a long time, it was more or less useless now. There seemed to be only a small chip on the sword blade, however, there were many hidden damages to the sword body.
He always used the great extinction sword to destroy other peoples' weapons. He didn't expect that his spiritual weapon would have a day when it was destroyed by others.
Then, he squinted his eyes and sized up Chuxue, like he was getting to know this innocent girl from scratch.
”The common people path has loads of talents. I have learned from this battle. Although I won, I lost…”
He stood on the spot, and his expression was calm, unlike that of a loser.
No matter how much one hated him, one had to admit that he was magnanimous.
”Miss Chuxue, who taught you your 1st sword? Before this, I have never seen anything like it. I didn't know that common people path had such a sword technique!”
Chuxue gave out an ”ah”, coming back to her senses. This was the first time someone had called her 'miss' and she couldn't adapt to it. The ten thousand over eyes also made her feel really out of place.
She didn't think much about it in her mind, replying in a silly manner, ”My young master taught it to me…”
When she said those words, pretty much everyone's heartstrings moved. It wasn't the few common people path elders who taught this girl to such a realm, but instead Tanqiu…
Speaking of which, this Xuechu seemed to be the maidservant of that person. If the servant was already so strong, what about the master?
Before this, his impression of Tanqiu was only of that of a person who used 800 common people, mysterious dragon warriors, to defeat the purple cloud sword cavalry in the Black Spirit Canyon.
In the end, he defeated a grade 7 as a grade 6, 201 swords to defeat Ji Lingzi from Tailing Sect. He defended the first 200 swords and attacked on the last sword, winning in one sword. Which was how he got famous in the world.
However now with Chuxue under him, the impressions the others had of Tanqiu were instantly really indiscernible and unclear.
”Tanqiu?” Jueyu's brows rose, his expression calming down once more, ”With no effort, like a celestial from another world. Without this sword, Miss Xuechu wouldn't have broken through to grade 7 so smoothly. How amazing! Then the set of sword techniques was also taught to you by your young master?”
Only at this moment was Chuxue shocked to her senses, like it was better if other people don't find out about this matter. She decisively shook her head, ”I won't tell you!”
Jueyu smiled, looking at her expression he could already confirm things. He then looked towards Fangwen as well as space above, ”Palace head Fang, I came this time for Tanqiu. I have sent the challenge, so why do you reject me. Is it because your first seat Tanqiu is afraid to fight?”
The people around were all startled, following which their expressions became weird.
Since that Tanqiu could teach and nurture Chuxue, then no one would doubt the sword path attainments of this Tanqiu.
At this moment no one would feel that Tanqiu was being afraid to fight. They also knew that Jueyu said those words to provoke common people's path to agree.
However, be it the common people path disciples or the people watching on, their eyes were filled with anticipation, quietly waiting for Fangwen to reply. They all wanted to see the shine of the common people path first seat.
Amongst them, people like knife lord Li Wuhui, their eyes were sharp, forcing down on Fangwen.
The battle between Chuxue and Jueyu was phenomenal and exciting. However, the former was relying more on instinct. The latter was unable to defend, losing out on the initiative, unable to turn back the battle.
That was why it couldn't be considered a peak martial path battle. If Tanqiu could fight, then this common people vast habitat would be worth the trip.
Chuxue couldn't help but feel furious, ”My young master isn't afraid to fight!”
Thinking about it, she couldn't give any persuasive explanation. She could only find a random reason, ”He can't be bothered! You can't even beat me. Young master won't fight with you!”
At the start she stammered whilst the more she said the more confident she got.
Jueyu shook his head, waving his sleeves, ”Miss Chuxue this is between your young master and I. Naturally the common people palace head and your young master will decide. It has nothing to do with you miss…”
Chuxue was furious and was just about to say something. Only to hear Fangwen suddenly say, ”Junior sister Xue you can return!”
Chuxue was helpless, only unwillingly acknowledging it. However, the moment she turned around, she saw that numerous gazes were focusing on her.
...Gratitude, envy, shock, happiness.
Chuxue was first stunned. Then she flushed red--a little embarrassed but a little gleeful.
She hesitated for a moment before she acted like she didn't see anything as she walked forwards. She learned from Zong Shou, acting calm like she didn't care about anything as she walked back.
Suddenly she understood what the weird phrases like ”cool” which Zong Shou always said meant.
