"ah?"
Bai Sitang said with a puzzled look, "I don't have diarrhea."
Duan Chuan said confidently, "If you don't have diarrhea, why are your legs numb?"
“I, I…”
Bai Sitang really couldn't explain it.
If he told Duan Chuan about Xiaoxi, wouldn't that mean he realized she was up to something, and that would make Duan Chuan suspicious? How would he steal the treasure then?
Seeing that Bai Sitang was hesitant and unable to explain clearly, Duan Chuan immediately thought that he had punctured his lungs. His brows were furrowed and he almost covered his nose.
"Get out of here right now!"
"Yes... Lord Sword."
So Bai Sitang could only walk back with his heavy legs.
After Bai Sitang left, Duan Chuan's gaze fell on Jiang Deng again. His eyes flickered as he ordered, "Relax your mind and let me investigate your aptitude in swordsmanship."
Although Duan Chuan spoke in a relaxed tone, Jiang Deng became alert instantly.
She had not forgotten what Yun Haoran had told her before, that even if the Sword Master accepted her as his sword servant, he would not give up his suspicion of her and still planned to interrogate her about the Hongmeng Spring.
But how to interrogate?
Did he want to use his spiritual sense to search me?
It should be. If someone else uses spiritual sense to search him, he will probably be discovered easily. However, Duan Chuan's strength is almost close to ascension, and his spiritual sense is strong, so his intention will not be discovered by the person searching him.
Jiang Deng sneered in his heart.
Sorry, the Hongmeng Spring is not in her storage bag, but hidden in the Eight Gates World.
Even if he was beaten to death, Duan Chuan would never have thought that she, a mere cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage, actually had her own small world!
With a thought, Jiang Deng decisively contacted Danqing in the Eight Gates World, "Danqing, help me hide the Eight Gates World."
"good."
Danqing agreed immediately, and the thing in his dantian disappeared in the blink of an eye. It looked like just an ordinary useless spiritual root dantian.
Jiang Deng also hid his chaotic body and did not leak out any chaotic aura.
"Are you ready?"
Duan Chuan's questioning voice rang out.
Jiang Deng nodded quickly, "Okay."
After saying that, Jiang Deng relaxed his mind and looked at Duan Chuan eagerly, as if he trusted him very much.
Duan Chuan didn't hesitate and directly used his powerful spiritual sense to cover Jiang Deng, trying to find the hiding place of Hongmeng Quan.
There isn't any?
The longer he investigated, the tighter Duan Chuan's brows furrowed.
He didn't even sense any trace of Hongmeng's aura from Jiang Deng?
Not only that, Jiang Deng only had an ordinary storage bag on him, and did not have a mustard storage bag that could hold the Hongmeng Spring.
That's strange...
The Hongmeng Spring is not on Jiang Deng. Could it be that the Hongmeng Spring was really not stolen by Jiang Deng?
Just as he was wondering, Jiang Deng's voice rang out in his ears, "Sword Master, how is the investigation going? Do I have the qualifications to practice swordsmanship?"
Upon hearing this, Duan Chuan, who had found nothing, immediately dispersed the spiritual consciousness that was surrounding Jiang Deng.
Because he didn't find the Hongmeng Spring, he was in a bad mood. Looking at Jiang Deng who was looking at him expectantly, Duan Chuan sneered, and then attacked Jiang Deng mercilessly.
"Not really. Not only do you have useless spiritual roots, but you also have poor talent in swordsmanship. The reason you can defeat others and become my sword servant now is because your current realm is still very low. When you reach the next realm, others will surpass you in strength."
"Oh, I see."
Jiang Deng nodded in agreement, "I also feel that my aptitude for swordsmanship isn't very good, and there's still room for improvement. From now on, I'll have to rely on the Sword Master's guidance."
In fact, she was thinking, bullshit!
Isn't my talent for swordplay a hundred times stronger than someone like you who relies solely on physique to become a sword master?
Duan Chuan felt much better when he saw Jiang Deng was so sensible, so he actually planned to give him some advice. "I remember that you also practiced the Killing Sword Intent, as well as several other sword intents. Aren't you afraid of biting off more than you can chew?"
Jiang Deng said seriously, "No, I think I can cultivate a few more sword intents!"
"……snort!"
Duan Chuan was choked and said with a bad face: "If you don't listen to me, you will suffer the consequences. You will know who is right and who is wrong in the future."
Jiang Deng suppressed the urge to harshly criticize Duan Chuan and continued to flatter him, "Then Sword Master, could you please teach me? Under your guidance, I believe my swordsmanship will improve greatly!"
"cough!"
Duan Chuan coughed lightly, "Alright, let me test you. What's the most important thing for a sword cultivator?"
Jiang Deng wondered, "Uh... is there a good sword?"
"Wrong, totally wrong!"
Duan Chuan suddenly felt more confident and said in a serious tone, "For a sword cultivator, the most important thing is to possess the essence of the sword. Only then can one become the strongest sword cultivator! Tell me, what is the essence of the sword?"
Jiang Deng scratched his head and asked uncertainly, "Sharp?"
"Wrong! Absolutely wrong!"
Duan Chuan hugged the long sword tightly in his arms and said indifferently: "The essence of the sword is cold, so the hearts of us sword cultivators should be as cold as the sword in our hands!"
“…”
Jiang Deng broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this.
Ah, weren’t these what she taught Duan Chuan?
Why did Duan Chuan just move it here and use it without any hesitation? Did he say hello to her?
The most important thing is that this sentence was asked because Duan Chuan kept pestering her with questions. Her sword skills were not very good at that time, so she pretended to be profound and made up some nonsense. She didn't expect Duan Chuan to take it seriously?
It doesn't matter that he himself regards it as the truth, and now he uses it to teach others, not afraid of misleading them...
No, it is very likely that it has been delayed, otherwise Yun Haoran would not have become so resentful now.
So, Jiang Deng decided to make up for the mistakes he had made before.
The first priority is to correct Duan Chuan’s unreasonable theories on sword cultivation.
"Sword Master, I have a question!"
Jiang Deng raised his hand and asked, "If the essence of swords is truly cold, then why are there sword intents like Flame Sword Intent and Hurricane Sword Intent that have nothing to do with cold? I don't think they're cold either."
“…”
Duan Chuan was stunned by the question, and it took him a while to react. He said angrily, "Are you questioning my understanding of the sword? Or are you questioning the swordsmanship taught to me by my master? Do you know who my master is?"
Jiang Deng opened his mouth: "Ah, who is it?"
"Ginger Lantern!"
Duan Chuan said in a resounding voice.
Jiang Deng stared and asked, "Sword Master, what do you want me to do?"
"...My master is not you, but the number one female cultivator in the world of immortality a thousand years ago, Venerable Jiang Deng!"
When saying this, Duan Chuan's tone was very proud.
And when he looked at Jiang Deng, his brows were full of disdain, "You are just a cultivator in the Nascent Soul Realm, how can you be compared with Master?"
