Chapter 710 Am I not included?
That bastard, he was definitely up to no good.
Song Chunxue raised her sleeve to block, held her breath, took out her long sword, stepped out of the courtyard, closed the door behind her, and started fighting with Yu Wanqing.
"Bang bang bang bang!"
The two of them started fighting outside the door. Their moves were so fast that Tian Jiahua, like a fluttering moth, ran back to her own yard in terror, slamming the door shut with a deafening thud.
Song Chunxue forcefully pinned Yu Wanqing to the ground, then restrained him with a peach branch before giving him a chance to get up.
This person is very cunning; I always feel that he has other purposes for being here.
She cannot let her guard down.
"You, how do you still have something like this?" Yu Wanqing sat on the ground like a silkworm cocoon, his whole body wrapped in branches.
Song Chunxue kicked him. "You still want to ambush me? Tell me, whose favor did you take from me this time?"
Yu Wanqing sat on the ground, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth, and chuckled, "Someone sent me to steal your precious sword."
"You know you can't beat me, and we've even become enemies, how could you be so stupid?" Song Chunxue placed her sword against his neck. "You'd better explain yourself, or I'll chop you into pieces and feed you to the dogs later."
"Woof woof woof!"
"Woof woof woof woof!"
Upon hearing this, the two dogs pried open the door and ran out, barking at Yu Wanqing's face, their saliva splashing onto his face.
Wolfhounds are fierce; when they're trying to intimidate you, it's as if, at the master's command, they could tear a person's face off.
Yu Wanqing was so frightened that he rolled around on the ground.
"No, just make them go away, and I'll explain, okay?"
"There were two people, wearing straw hats so I couldn't see their faces. I met them on the road from Jincheng to here. They told me to find your house. That's all, really!"
"Oh dear, oh dear, get them away! I'm afraid of dogs!"
This person has the truth in their mouth, but they won't say it completely.
Song Chunxue squatted down, pointed at Yu Wanqing's leg, and said to her dog, "He bit his leg, there must be something else going on. Where are they from? Do you know them?"
"Woof woof...woof..."
The dog was very obedient and immediately bit Yu Wanqing's leg.
"Oh my god, help me!"
"Help! I'll never do it again!"
Yu Wanqing's voice was extremely pitiful, as if the wolf had already bitten off his leg; it seemed he was truly afraid of dogs.
Just then, the three men who had gone to choose horses returned.
Lord Zhao walked ahead, dressed in a dark long robe, exuding nobility and composure, with his hands behind his back, displaying a leisurely demeanor.
"Junior brother, who is this person, and what has he done?"
Song Chunxue stood up. "This person tricked us once before when he was in Jincheng. Now he has come to my house and even tried to poison me and steal my sword. I don't think he's telling the truth, so I plan to interrogate him again."
Master Han stepped forward with a smile, "I'm good at judging people, leave it to me."
"Then I'll have to trouble Master Han." Song Chunxue finally understood what a smiling tiger was. His smile was impeccable, even making people feel like they were bathed in a spring breeze.
But snakes are cold-blooded; the brighter their smile, the more ruthless they are when they strike.
Before two cups of tea could be brewed, Yu Wanqing wet his pants and begged and pleaded in the backyard, explaining in detail who he had met and what he had done in the past few days.
"It seems that it is not safe for you to stay here, Junior Brother. Those people are from the capital. It is true that they want to steal your weapons, but they really want to know your background and eliminate dissidents."
"Many practitioners, halfway through their cultivation, begin to serve the powerful and wealthy, gradually forgetting their original intentions."
Master Han sat down at the table, wiped his hands, casually burned the white handkerchief, and looked at Song Chunxue.
"Is your Worry-Free Sword not on you?"
Song Chunxue nodded, "It's definitely not with me. It disappeared on the third day after leaving the capital. I guess it stayed with Lord Xie."
“That’s perfect. Let’s stay a few more days and see what they’re up to before we leave.” Lord Zhao took a sip of tea and looked at Daoist Zhang. “I don’t know if you’ve ever heard of the Spirit Realm. It’s rumored to be near Kunlun Mountain. If you have the key, even ordinary people can go there.”
Master Zhang nodded, "I have heard of it, but it's just a legend. I've never heard of anyone actually finding it."
“Legend has it that someone went there hundreds of years ago, but the key has since disappeared,” Lord Zhao tapped the table lightly with his knuckles. “I suspect that the reason they are so persistent in pursuing the Worry-Free Sword is because they think it might be that key.”
After all, there are quite a few treasures in the world. Every powerful inheritor has several treasures on their side, but I have never heard of anyone daring to openly steal them.
Either they're taking advantage of Song Chunxue's lack of protection, or they're determined to get it.
Master Zhang looked at Song Chunxue and said, "Then you should be more vigilant recently and not let any suspicious people slip by. If the Worry-Free Sword is really a key, then you can't let anyone find out that it's not on you, nor can you let them take it away."
"Yes, I'll be careful, but what is the spirit world?" She had never heard of the term "spirit world" before.
"Rumor has it that it is the gateway to the upper realm, where all those who have attained the Great Dao reside. Moreover, there are countless rare and precious materials and numerous inheritances waiting for those with the right destiny," Lord Zhao scoffed. "But I think that's just a pipe dream. My master never mentioned it."
"Even if such a place exists, forcibly entering with a mortal body would likely result in a one-way trip," Lord Zhao said calmly. "It's always better to be honest."
This is the truth. Many people in this world are not honest enough, and their excessive greed has led to many tragedies.
“I’ve noticed that your place is a bit poor, but the scenery is quite nice. Tomorrow we plan to find a hilltop to play chess. Junior brother, you stay home and practice your sword. They shouldn’t dare to show themselves during the day. We’ll come back at night.” As he spoke, Lord Zhao took out a book from his robes. “You seem to have quite a talent. I’ll give you this sword manual. There will be more once you’ve mastered it.”
There are two types of people that senior brothers and masters like the most.
One type is highly talented, while the other is diligent and eager to learn. They can achieve success without much effort or persuasion, making it extremely worry-free.
"Thank you very much, Senior Brother." Song Chunxue accepted the gift with both hands, as if she had found a treasure. "I will definitely practice hard."
"By the way, autumn is coming soon. Are your autumn clothes all worn out, senior brother? What color do you want? I'll talk to Mei Yang tomorrow and ask him to make you two sets."
Everyone looked at Master Zhang.
Feeling rather guilty under the scrutiny, Master Zhang said, "I'll buy it myself later, no need to bother."
“No trouble at all. Don’t we have our own fabric shop? Meiyang even gave me a really nice Taoist robe today.”
At this point, she realized that she also had her senior brother.
"Senior Brother, do you want it? What style do you like?" She felt that her senior brother was used to a life of luxury, and with so many different styles of clothing in the capital, he might not appreciate the craftsmanship of a small town.
"I want a dark blue robe embroidered with green bamboo." Lord Zhao was not polite at all. "Who is Mei Yang?"
“She opened a cloth shop with Mei Yang, and she used to insist on marrying her junior brother’s man,” the Taoist priest explained. “She’s rough around the edges but shrewd, and a pretty good person.”
Master Han crossed his arms and said, "Isn't there any for me? Snakes are most afraid of the cold, I want the thicker one."
