Chapter 39 Off to the Great Assessmen (1/2)

Once Li Mei was no longer visible, the flames around Xinyi died down as she said, ”No matter what she uses to try and tempt you, don't ever accept her proposal to join the Thousand Sword Sect, Jian Shen.”

”Huh? I don't think that's wha...”

”You think she was flirting with you and trying to seduce you because of handsome you are?”

Before Jian Shen could answer, Xinyi sighed and said, ”While that might be a part of the reason as well, I can tell from the way she looked that she'll try to recruit you into her sect one way or the other.”

”So, just trust me, and reject her directly. The Myriad Flame Sect is where you deserve to be at. With how great your control is over those flames you use, once you join the sect your strength will definitely grow by a huge margin.”

”As for the Path of Sword, it isn't something which can be learned by just joining a sect. So don't trust her even if she says she can help you learn it. If that was the case, there wouldn't be the Five Great Sects, but only One Great Sect.”

Listening to Xinya's words, Jian Shen nodded his head and realized that if Li Mei truly said something like helping him comprehended the Path of Sword, he truly would've been tempted.

Luckily Xinyi helped him realize that even if she said such words he shouldn't believe her. After all just like she said, if one could comprehend the Path of Sword by just joining the Thousand Sword Sect, there would only be One Great Sect.

”It's good that you understand. Let's end our training here. After eating make sure to rest early, we are going to leave tomorrow morning.”

After Jian Shen left to soak his body in the medicinal bath which had been brewing for him until now, Xinyi turned to look in the direction which Li Mei left in while thinking that she needed to get back to the Sect and officially invite Jian Shen to join them.

Only then would her mind be at peace.

Like everyday, the table was filled with various delicacies, which were completely consumed by the two hungry aunt and nephew.

Later on, the two of them directly went to their rooms to rest early, since they were going to leave early in the morning.

Jian Shen as always woke up before the sun had even come up on the horizon, and went to the open space connected to his room.

The same as always he sat on the ground cross legged and placed the Yang Dragon Sword on his lap.

He began doing this after he once sensed that his swordplay improved by meditating with it. While the meditation sessions didn't show constant results, Jian Shen did it every day.

While meditating, Jian Shen's control over the sword had grown by quite a bit, and he could now sense more than before.
