1018 Ladies Becoming Sworn Sisters (2/2)
Village Chief excitedly said, \”It was my lifelong wish to see him! Now that I finally saw him, I can die! Mu'er, I will impart the twentieth sword form to you. Stay in the capital for a little while.\”
Qin Mu hesitated before nodding. \”Fatty Dragon, take Divine King to stay a couple days in my residence. Dutian can go there too.\”
The dragon qilin brought them to the side palace in Eternal Peace's capital. It had a spectacular looking and verdant Primordial Tree, which had beams of light hanging from it that safeguarded the capital. It was the most glorious sight of the capital.
Emperor Yanxiu titled this place the Imperial Preceptor Residence. She often sent people to clean up the place. There was a lady inside named Gongsun Yan who had close ties with Emperor Yanxiu.
Occasionally, Hu Ling'er and Si Yunxiang stayed there for a couple days.
The dragon qilin came to Qin Mu's Imperial Preceptor Residence and saw Gongsun Yan drinking tea with three other ladies. He instinctively felt a chill down his spine.
Dutian Devil King also received a shock. One of the four ladies looked exactly the same as Divine King Lang Wo. The only difference between them was their clothes. It was Yun Chuxiu!
Yun Chuxiu held two horse whips and was visibly energetic. The other lady was Lian Huahun!
The dragon qilin thought, 'Could Mistress Yuanmu have made another Yun Chuxiu?'
\”Is Master back?\” Gongsun Yan was joyful when she saw the dragon qilin. She stepped forward but didn't see Qin Mu.
Yan'er became a little green sparrow that flew into the Primordial Tree bushes above to find her nest, and she was cheerful that it was there. She squatted in it as she spat out small flames. Soon, she took a nap leisurely.
Emperor Yanxiu came forward and glanced around. She couldn't find Qin Mu, so she asked, \”Fatty Dragon, where is the Imperial Preceptor?\”
\”He's at the Imperial Academy.\”
The dragon qilin looked up at the nest and said, \”Emperor, Cult Master is learning the twentieth sword form. After he's done, he will return. Have you seen Yun Jianli?\”
Emperor Yanxiu was stunned as she asked, \”Do you mean Yun Aiqing? High Official Yun went to the south a couple of days ago to check on the shipyard there. I don't know whether he has returned.\”
The dragon qilin said, \”Emperor, could you see whether Yun Jianli has returned and invite him? Yun Jianli is that lady's brother.\”
Emperor Yanxiu glanced at Yun Chuxiu and smiled. \”You mean that Sister Chuxiu is High Official Yun's sister? I even swore to become sisters of different surnames a couple days ago. How coincidental.\”
'You have sworn to become sisters of different surnames with Mistress Yuanmu?'
The dragon qilin felt his head becoming three times as large as usual. That was Mistress Yuanmu, one of the ten Celestial Venerables of the celestial heavens!
'I can't settle this, I have to get Cult Master here personally!'
The dragon qilin looked up at Gongsun Yan's nest. He was envious as he thought, 'If only I could hide in it.'
Divine King Lang Wo came forward and swept her gaze on the ladies. She smiled. \”Emperor, you became sworn sisters with Sister Chuxiu? What about Sister Lian and Sister Yan'er? It's a day filled with such coincidences, so why don't all of us become sworn sisters together?\”
Her vibe was overwhelming, even more so than Lian Huahun's, which made Emperor Yanxiu admire her too. She smiled. \”I saw that you look exactly the same as Sister Chuxiu, so I was wondering whether you two were twins. Now that you want to become sworn sisters with her, I know that's not the case. Could there really be two flowers that look exactly the same in this world?\”
Divine King Lang Wo's gaze flashed. \”Perhaps. Sisters, what do you all think about my suggestion?\”
Yun Chuxiu applauded and said that it was a good idea. Lian Huahun hesitated before nodding.
Gongsun Yan had no opinion of her own, so she nodded upon seeing the others nod.
Divine King Lang Wo looked at Emperor Yanxiu, and she had to nod too. She smiled. \”It's my fortune to become sworn sisters with you all.\”
Yan'er cheered and flew down from her nest. She was rambling about becoming sworn sisters with them too.
The dragon qilin called her back hastily and whispered, \”Don't join in the fun, naughty girl, there's already too much commotion!\”
\”Why?\” Yan'er was perplexed.
She listened to the dragon qilin anyway, standing on his head to watch the five girls become sworn sisters of different surnames with tea instead of wine.
Yun Chuxiu laughed and said, \”Let's make an oath, everyone. We may not have been born on the same day, month, and year, but we shall ask to die on the same day, month, and year instead. Does that sound good?\”
The dragon qilin felt his heart aching as he thought, 'Please return quickly, Cult Master. This scene is becoming more unpredictable. Yun Jianli, it would be great if you came too!'
In the Imperial Academy, Qin Mu learned the twentieth sword form from Village Chief. When he fought Founding Emperor, both of them got injured. Qin Mu left bearing an injury, but all he cared about was looking confident and good, which he had a lot of, so he didn't ask to learn the twentieth sword form from Founding Emperor.
Village Chief's cultivation in the sword path was extremely high. Founding Emperor had a hidden motive in imparting it to him. He wanted to use Village Chief to impart it to Qin Mu. After all, Qin Mu was the one who comprehended the eighteenth and nineteenth sword form, so in some ways, he relied on Qin Mu to comprehend the twentieth sword form.
He was serious in his learning and comprehension, so he completely missed out on the incident of the five ladies becoming sworn sisters at his residence. They held hidden motives, except for Gongsun Yan, who was as pure as a sheet of white paper.
