An Zhisu was extremely angry.

Although she also knew that Su Jian was doing this for her own good, she had always won more than she lost in the past hundred years in Shushan. Who would dare not acknowledge her strength?

Why didn't he allow me to fight before he even did any reconnaissance? Did Master think my strength was so insignificant?

Ling Yunpo tried to comfort her gently, but he could see clearly in his heart: This Senior Sister An must have reached her rebellious phase.

What is the rebellious period? It is the psychological state of adolescents who, in the process of growing up, go from being dependent on their parents to awakening to self-awareness, and can’t wait to prove to their parents that “I can do it”, or even deliberately go against their parents.

Although Senior Sister An is not young, she has not been with Su Jian for a long time. In addition, most monks are secluded and lack social experience. It is not surprising that she has just entered the rebellious period.

The only problem was that Su Jian didn't seem to know what the "rebellious period" was. Judging from his expression, he probably thought his daughter didn't love her father anymore, so he could only cast a heartbroken look at Ling Yunpo.

Of course Ling Yunpo could also understand his father-in-law's hint: Good son-in-law, help persuade him!

It was impossible to persuade him, because when Senior Sister An came to complain to him, she definitely didn't want to hear an answer like "Your father also has his own difficulties." Many times, for women, "which side you are on" is more important than "who is right or wrong."

So he slowly reached into his sleeve and took out a... wine jug.

An Zhisu's eyes lit up immediately. After all, she only had two hobbies, one was drinking, the other was practicing swordsmanship.

It’s impossible to practice swordplay nowadays, but it would be nice if I could have some wine to drink.

"Brother, what kind of wine is this?"

"Red in the green."

"Never heard of...Shushan?"

"No, I bought it in Yangzhou."

"The taste is a bit light, but it has a slight aftertaste in the throat, which is okay." An Zhisu poured himself a drink and poured a few glasses for Ling Yunpo as well. The originally depressed expression on his face also relaxed.

Okay, Master, I have calmed down my senior sister.

Ling Yunpo looked towards Su Jian, only to see Su Jian staring at the two men drinking, his throat seemed to be moving.

...Master, please be decent at least!

Ling Yunpo sighed, then pulled the reluctant Senior Sister An over and poured a glass for Su Jian as well.

Su Jian immediately felt relieved and said seriously:

"I am busy now, so it is not convenient for me to drink. But since this is my disciple's first time to toast, I will have a drink with you."

An Zhisu curled her lips beside him, revealing an expression that seemed to want to mock but was holding back.

The others had split into four and went to explore the surrounding environment. Only the master and his two apprentices were left here drinking, and they soon finished the entire pot of wine.

"Qingheng." Su Jian said with satisfaction, "You have been my disciple for a long time, but I was in seclusion at that time and had nothing good to teach you."

"Here are some of my insights from sword practice during my time in the Golden Core Stage. I'll give them to you."

"Thank you, Master!" Ling Yun realized that this was a toast in return for him, so he quickly accepted it sincerely.

Su Jian went to chat with his daughter again, and Ling Yunpo took out the scriptures and started reading.

All Su Jian wrote on the first page was "The key to swordsmanship is stabbing."

Well said, Ling Yunpo nodded secretly.

In the art of swordsmanship, stabbing is indeed faster than slashing, because when a sword is flying, it flies in the direction of the tip of the sword.

If you want to slash, you need to quickly turn your body sideways and swing the sword when you rush to the target; but if you want to stab the enemy, you don't need to worry about changing your moves, just stab directly.

Ling Yunpo looked at the second line and saw Su Jian continued to write:

"Today, a certain family went to the plateau and killed several bald foreign monks."

Lingyunpo: ???

How did it suddenly become a diary?

He flipped through the pages carefully and realized that what Su Jian said about these being "some insights" was indeed true.

It records in a messy manner his various thoughts at different times. Some of them are indeed thoughts on swordsmanship, while some are simply diary entries, such as "Who I defeated" or "Who I killed", and even nonsense like "Where is the best wine".

It is not easy to find truly useful information from it.

Ling Yunpo was flipping through the scriptures out of boredom, not wanting to disturb the conversation between the father and daughter.

On the other side, the four waves of monks who went out for reconnaissance all came back soon.

Based on the reports of these monks, everyone knew that there was a vast body of water to the south, but it was not yet known whether it was a lake or an ocean.

There are swamps to the east and west, and the farther you go, the more water there is and the less solid ground there is.

To the north is an area of ​​rolling hills with typical tropical rainforests, as well as numerous vines, poisonous snakes and insects.

The next step is to choose a direction and explore it in depth.

"Choose..." Su Jian was about to say it casually, but suddenly asked Ling Yunpo, "Qingheng, which side do you think we should choose to explore?"

You're asking me this too? Ling Yunpo complained in his heart, but said:

"Choose the North."

"Why?" Su Jian asked with interest.

"Let's eliminate the south first." Ling Yunpo explained, "Although we Shushan monks are not afraid of water, we are not as familiar with the environment as the aquatic monsters. It is always better to avoid it."

"Therefore, we have to choose between the three directions of east, west and north."

"Both the east and the west are swamps, and the water flows more and more, so it is likely connected to the big swamp in the south."

"The north is a jungle area with a complex environment, which is suitable for the demons to hide. The possibility of treasure is also greater."

"Hmm." Su Jian nodded, but he didn't think about it. He was just like An Zhisu, thinking "whatever you say, that's all", and he gave the order directly:

"Explore the north first!"

The Shushan sword masters then headed north and entered the jungle.

The jungle was indeed rugged and difficult to navigate, with tree roots entangled in the ground and vines growing thickly, leaving almost no place for people to stand.

Then everyone used their sword skills or activated sword magic, and quickly cleared a path ahead.

Ling Yunpo wanted to ask, if we make such a big fuss, wouldn't it be easy to alert the enemy?

But it is easy to imagine that if he really said that, given Su Jian's personality, he would most likely answer, "Isn't it better? We can just catch them all in one fell swoop."

Thinking of this, Ling Yunpo sighed silently, thinking that this invincible lineup that our Shushan has dispatched really has no possibility of losing.

Forget it, let him be.

I just don’t know what’s going on with Wei Dongliu... Oh, I read Lingyunpo first, so the future Wei Dongliu must know how to enter the secret realm.

There is no need to worry about this.

The Shushan people quickly went deep into the jungle, cutting through thorns and thorns along the way, and soon reached the depths of the jungle, where they found a temple.

Ling Yunpo looked at the reliefs on the outer wall of the temple, and a strange emotion surged in his heart.

The turtle and snake are intertwined, is this... Xuanwu?
