Volume 2 Chapter 33 (1/2)
Li Yun tripped on the doorstep of Cheng Qian’s roo out of his hands But before he could exclaim in surprise, someone else in the roo Qian held a needle and was pricking the blisters on Yan Zheng’s hands one after the other
Cheng Qian’s htly shake it, pinch the blister, and then it was done Cheng Qian deftly and swiftly repeated the routine, tor hi Qian, ere you, a porter!? Ah—” 1
“No I was probably a pig butcher,” said Cheng Qian apathetically
“Show so alives ada anymore!”
Li Yun hurriedly closed the door tight, in case the last bit of dignity of Fuyao Sect be lost
For the very first tiot blisters fro swordplay He suffered for it Thus he spewed a string of sords, not giving a da junior brothers
In the corner, Han Yuan observed Yan Zhengh the Fuyao Wooden Swordplay had left some shadows in his heart
“I just ca out the pile of books on the desk while trying to ignore the Sect Leader’s howl of pain “They are the annals of Azure Dragon Island, in which are recorded several h the years Some of them mentioned us”
“Mentioned us? What does it say?” asked Han Yuan, craning his neck
“The earliest record is dated to the establish with two disciples caratulations on behalf of the sect leader,” Li Yun said “His nauests, which seemed quite honored…”
Yan Zheng hissed from a prick and dismissed Li Yun’s words with a wave of his hand “Skip the prosperity in early days and juan to peter out”
Li Yun returned to flipping the pages “As I recall… Oh, here it is For so from the Celestial Market, the sixth sect leader of Fuyao Sect suddenly announced that he was going to simplify the sect, and that only two disciples were allowed for each person His successor, however, abolished this rule and accepted a total of eighteen disciples These disciples fought and scheainst each other, and as a result, few people survived the competition for the position of the sect leader That’s when the sect gradually anguished”
“Really?” As he asked, Yan Zheng took out the Sect Leader’s Seal “Anyone of you wants this? Just take it away I don’t want these hardshi+ps, I’o home”
nobody paid any attention to him
Li Yun buried hih them as he said, “I assued to forbid internal strife And after that… our sect produced quite a few des…”
“Three,” Cheng Qian corrected him
Li Yun sighed, “Alright, three then—but what’s even worse, the annals also recorded a senior of our sect as a devout believer of astrology He saw all cultivation ht his disciples nothing but astrology In his generation, even the Fuyao Wooden Swordplay was nearly lost There was another senior as keen on traveling It’s said that during his time at the helm, his last disciple had only met him once in his entire life… But the one who had hid Fuyao Sect froht in the real sense was in fact our Martial Grandfather But there aren’t many accounts about him It only mentioned that he was always insecluded cultivation and kept to himself Every time the Celestial Market opened, he’d send Master and… you-knoho here”
Speaking of which, Li Yun lifted his head and said, “I say, Fuyao Sect had actually been at the head of the Top Ten Sects back then, despite all that”
Yan Zhengin, a long development, and abounded in demonic cultivators and all types of freaks What kind of illustrious sect are we? —as far as I ale on till today was probably because so us in Heaven”
“What shall we do then? Pack up and go home?” asked Han Yuan tactlessly
Cheng Qian and Li Yun glared at him at the same time
“I wasn’t the first one to say that It was First Senior Brother!” screa unjustly treated
“Just noas suon Island; he invited us to stay here for soainst a table “He said there will be lectures after the Celestial Market and that he had kept seats for us”
“How long is ‘so back to Fuyao Mountain?” asked Li Yun, somewhat antsy
“I’ sarcasar for two or three decades, yet they still say that she has only traveled outside for ‘some time’”
Li Yun unconsciously nibbled his fingers and said, “But I heard that the lord of the island had retired fro time Why would he suddenly want us to stay?”
Yan Zhengot history”
For years, Yan Zheng had secluded himself on the mountain and was hence unworldly In addition, Master’s exhortations before leaving the mountain just ran off hi and dared not to consult others Meanwhile, there were soover his head that after this period of tiued both mentally and physically
“Copper Coin” Yan Zheng Qian a kick “Put down your burin and raise your head and say so”
ThatQian and dispersed the qi around his hand, causing the talisman to turn to scrap
Cheng Qian frugally switched to an ordinary burin and shaved off the notches on the talis insipidly, “Say what?”
Since he broke out of the Worriless Valley with Puddle, Cheng Qian had done nothing but practice swordsmanshi+p and cultivate Whenever someone came to him, there was sure to be either a wooden sword or burin in his hand
Because of that, Yan Zheng into a fight over it, but Cheng Qian simply didn’t take it seriously
Only then did Yan Zheng realize how helpless Master had felt for them when he was alive
Cheng Qian cleaned up the wood shavings and unhurriedly said, “Do we have anything that others would covet? Sect leader senior brother’s beauty? Don’t flatter yourself”
His stiff and cold words dejected hisLi Yun and Yan Zheng what they should do with this third junior brother After all, neither of them had witnessed Master’s death
Yan Zhengnalled Li Yun with a wink Li Yun took the hint and left with Han Yuan
Yan Zheng Qian’s room He casually picked out a book of the latest record about Fuyao Sect and started reading it silently by Cheng Qian’s side Both of the ca took a surprised look at Yan Zheng… Sect Leader”
“Bring s over, I’ll live here for a few days,” ordered Yan Zheng Qian’s expression which seeotten lost?’
Cheng Qian’s indifferent face began to crack
Without consulting with Cheng Qian, Yan Zheng, “I’m afraid he’ll take Master’s death too hard, so I’ll stay here to watch him a few days”
Cheng Qian had a constipated look on his face After a reat effort, “Senior Brother, you worry too ood”
“What I say goes” Yan Zheng turned hi Qian’s scared gaze He was prepared to give Cheng Qian a ‘great time’
Plainly, Yan Zheng a sect leader—when it ca swords that he’d quit and go hoht around, he’d then think of the Sect Leader’s Seal
“Call soet the floor cleaned Can’t you see the hairs—also, move my censer over and tell Yue-er to prepare the incense”
Before Cheng Qian could say anything, Yan Zheng Qian’s roo Qian by the dinner table and demanded, “Get ready to eat”
Cheng Qian silently reached out his hand to pick up the chopsticks But before he could touch the slapped his hand away
“Wash hands” Yan Zheng frowned
Since Taoist children were still in the roo Qian didn’t want to defy his first senior brother, who recently beca at Yan Zheng Qian dipped his hands in the basin and reached out again to take the teacup
And was slapped by Yan Zheng a second time
Yan Zheng with you?”
Cheng Qian: “…”
He had a feeling that this day wouldn’t end well
“Begin with cold dishes How can you alternate cold dishes with hot ones?”
“Who asked you to serve desserts when the meal is not finished?”
“What? You use the same bowl to have rice and soup?”
“Are you kidding plants really fit for human consumption?”
Cheng Qian came to the end of his endurance He plopped the chopsticks on the table and stood up to leave
“What are you going to do?” asked Yan Zheng, unable to make heads or tail of his move
“I don’t feel good, and I can’t even s food,” Cheng Qian said “I’ to practice swordplay in the backyard”
EveryQian would practice swordplay for two hours without fail But today he felt that two hours were not enough He wanted to practice for the whole night
Once he was tired out and felt coed to the Gossamer Cave2 by first senior brother
And the evil sitting inside the Gossamer Cave wouldn’t let him in “Go take a bath Do you want to sleep with this sweat?”
Cheng Qian’s expression told Yan Zheng and what he had always done before Therefore, Young Master Yan turned around and called in Xueqing right away, “Get me a new sheet!”
After Xueqing left, Cheng Qian shouted to hio back to your own place?”
Yan Zheng: “No Just look at you I have to watch over you these days—do you practice swordplay this late every day?”
