Chapter 280: Choosing the Broken Sword
Tao Zi stared at the broken sword for three seconds, then silently shifted his gaze to Jianshan, ready to try again.
As soon as this thought came to her mind, the hilt of the broken sword hit her in the face with a "bang".
She looked at the broken sword expressionlessly, and happened to see that the hilt had slowly cracked due to the blow.
Yue Qingya could see it clearly from a distance and hesitantly suggested, "Do you want to wait a little longer?"
"Thank you, fellow Daoist. I... well, I'm a physical cultivator and don't need a sword. That's all."
Tao Zi suddenly changed the subject midway through her speech.
Yue Qingya felt a little strange, but worried that the people outside would become suspicious, so he held the Wusha Sword and left.
She lowered her eyes and spoke to her inner demon: "You let me take it away, why?"
The inner demon no longer responded, as if the previous sentence "I want it" was just an illusion.
Tao Zi didn't ask any more questions, grabbed the broken sword and disappeared on the spot.
When he got outside, Yue Qingya was surrounded by people. The elder of the Sword Sect stood beside him and said coldly, "The Immortal Sword is hard to come by, but we in the Sword Sect are not the kind of people who go back on our words. It would be better for you all to put those thoughts back."
An elder from the Xujia Sect frowned and said, "We are willing to exchange three mechas, not to rob them. Moreover, this matter will surely spread, and by then it will be questionable whether Fellow Daoist Yue can protect the Wusha Sword."
Yue Qingya smiled and said, "Everyone loves treasures, and so do I. As for whether I can protect them, it depends on my strength."
The elder sighed and nodded, "Well, he is a young talent after all."
He felt a little regretful, but he didn't force it anymore and turned away.
Tao Zi raised her eyebrows and took a step forward, attracting everyone's attention, but it only lasted for a moment before they all shifted their gaze.
Someone from the Ming Lan Sect suddenly said, "It seems that Master Yue has a good relationship with Tao Zi."
Yue Qingya smiled and replied calmly, "She defeated Xu Qianjia, so naturally I admire her."
The man's face turned red and he was speechless for a while.
Qiu Xuanhuan laughed, and everyone knew what he meant - these two people had a good relationship with Yue Qiran back then, and it was also known to everyone that Xu Qianjia and others did not like Yue Qiran very much.
Even if Yue Qiran betrayed Xuanyue Continent, it does not mean that these two people would have a good impression of Xu Qianjia and others.
Seeing that he couldn't afford to offend either of them, the man simply directed his attack towards Tao Zi: "You worked so hard to enter the Sword Mountain, but in the end you got a useless sword. Fellow Daoist Tao, your luck is really not good."
She nodded honestly and said, "You are right. I have no luck and can only rely on my strength. How can I compare to your young master? He is so lucky to have a Tianzun as his master."
The more the man listened, the more he felt something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
Wang Xu walked over and said gently, "Fellow Daoist Tao, Jianshan's sword is once again a seventh-grade magical weapon. There must be a reason why this broken sword can enter Jianshan."
The implication was that this sword was unusual, but no matter how you listened to it, it sounded like he was comforting her.
Tao Zi accepted the kindness and thanked him with a smile.
It was getting quite late, and Jian Zong arranged rooms for them, but she decided to go back to the inn.
Yue Qingya smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Tao, can I join you?"
She was stunned for a moment, but he looked so calm and composed that no one could have any other thoughts, so she agreed.
The two of them walked back, chatting casually about some normal topics so that others would not be suspicious if they heard them.
Yue Qingya said, "I want to transform it into my natal sword as soon as possible. Does Fellow Daoist Tao have a natal weapon?"
"I haven't found a suitable weapon yet." Tao Zi decisively ignored the pink hammer and reminded, "Master Yue, be careful."
"The two sects and four schools wouldn't do something so shameful. After all, they have rich heritage. I have my own ways to deal with the ghosts from other sects."
As for the remaining case, he simply avoided it.
Tao Zi felt like laughing when she heard this. Apart from the one Tianzun, how else in the current Minglan Sect could be worthy of being one of the three sects?
It's not surprising that those physical cultivators left. After all, the Minglan Sect is not that good. It doesn't have the backbone to support its status, and its actions are not as upright as other sects. If she had defeated other sects, perhaps they would not have left.
Of course, most of her fault was for not acting in an upright manner, but if she had been truly upright, the Minglan Sect would have been in a worse situation now. Without strength, fame would have been useless. Unfortunately, Xu Qianjia couldn't see this clearly, or rather, he had no strength and could only have fame.
Tao Zi was lost in thought until Yue Qingya spoke again, "Fellow Daoist Tao, you must be careful. Other sects might only think about improving their own strength after being defeated so they can avenge their previous defeat in the future, but that sect... who knows what they're thinking?"
She smiled and said, "Thanks for the reminder, but I already know what I'm doing."
He continued to complain, "This sect rose too quickly. They don't have the confidence of the other sects at all. To be honest, even the less reputable Xujia Sect is more generous than them. At least Xujia Sect has always been calm about winning and losing, but they are a bit ruthless in their actions."
With a burst of disgust, the sight in the dark disappeared.
Tao Zi glanced at Yue Qingya, who was obviously doing it on purpose, and wanted to laugh. The person who followed her secretly was simply asking for trouble.
They walked slowly back to the inn.
During this period, the leader of the Sword Sect stood in front of Jianshan with a solemn expression.
The elder asked worriedly, "Master, is there anything unusual?"
"No, maybe it's my illusion."
The leader of the Sword Sect frowned. Shortly after the Wusha Sword and the broken sword came out, he felt a strange aura for a moment. He couldn't tell whether it was a monster or a human, but it was extremely powerful, even to the point of making his heart palpitate.
Before he could lock onto its location, the aura disappeared, which made him extremely uneasy.
The elder knew that the possibility of his perception being wrong was almost non-existent, so he asked, "Could it be that broken sword?"
The Sect Master answered simply, "No, absolutely not. I've asked my disciples to be on high alert recently and not to be left alone."
"Yes. Should we mention this to the Young Sect Master?"
He nodded when he heard this, and thought of Wangxu who had been in a bad mood recently, he felt a little helpless. Xu'er had not seen much darkness and was always too idealistic. Things in this world were not black or white.
After Tao Zi returned to the inn, none of the people who had received the news early mentioned anything about Jianshan. They were all talking to her about various interesting things.
Tao Zi smiled, stopping their chatter and introducing them, "This is Yue Qingya, you can call him Yue Zhenjun."
Han Yueshan and others also came along, pretending they had never met before and greeted them one by one.
Once she reached the inn to rest, her inner demons emerged and she breathed a sigh of relief.
Tao Zi asked puzzledly: "What's wrong?"
"You don't know, I was almost discovered." The inner demon said again, "As compensation, quickly take out that storybook. I didn't finish reading it last time."
