Chapter 114 Leaving the Secret Realm 4 Xie Jiaoyue's body is not yet finished...
Xie Jiaoyue's body had not completely left the Qingyuan Secret Realm. She turned around and saw her new master tidying herself up in the secret realm. He had changed his clothes and was fixing his clothes and hair, seemingly planning to come out after he was properly dressed.
I understand. After all, they haven't appeared in public for many years, and even the most indifferent person will start to become reserved.
There is no way to communicate between the inside and outside of the Azure Kite Secret Realm, so the Azure Kite Sword Master had not yet heard Chu Xingjin's words. After a moment's thought, Xie Jiaoyue did not relay Chu Xingjin's message, but instead took the lead and walked out, completely leaving the Azure Kite Secret Realm.
Xie Jiaoyue was very curious about Chu Xingjin's thoughts. So she asked, "Brother Chu, how did you meet the Sword Master Qingyuan? And how did you persuade him to take you as his disciple? I think not only me, but everyone is very curious."
Chu Xingjin snorted coldly: "Don't call me Brother Chu. Your Xie family won't even apologize. Your mother just said that our engagement is canceled. If you continue like this, it disgusts me."
After Xie Jiaoyue came out, she did not stop where she was. Instead, she immediately looked around for Gong Shirao. Once she found her, she skipped and hopped toward Gong Shirao.
She naturally didn't miss Gong Shirao's slightly pale face, and combined with Chu Xingjin's words, she immediately understood why she had heard such a system prompt in the Qingyuan Secret Realm.
She was so distressed. She loved Brother Chu so much, but he was so disobedient. It seemed he needed to be disciplined.
We need to think of a way to make Brother Chu more sensible.
She is truly kind. Even though Brother Chu was disrespectful to Mother, she could forgive him and plan to help him become a better version of himself.
"Okay, Brother Xingjin, so how did you become the disciple of the Azure Kite Sword Master?"
None of the directors spoke, but Elder Xin, who had always been at odds with the Xie family, couldn't help but reprimand them: "Xie Jiaoyue, your mother's current state was forced upon you by Chu Xingjin, do you still insist on becoming his Daoist partner?"
Chu Xingjin looked at Xie Jiaoyue and laughed wildly: "Gong Shirao, look at the good daughter you raised. I treated you like this, yet she is still infatuated. How despicable!"
After successfully making Gong Shirao's face even paler with anger, Chu Xingjin didn't miss such a good opportunity to show off: "How did I get to know the Azure Iris Sword Master? The Azure Iris Sword Master lives in seclusion in a corner of the Azure Iris Secret Realm. I went through countless hardships to climb the mountains on the southwest side of the Azure Iris Secret Realm. The higher I went, the greater the pressure became, until finally I could hardly stand up straight. But I didn't give up. I persevered to the very end and reached the top of the mountain. Finally, heaven rewards those who persevere, and I met the Azure Iris Sword Master."
He spoke with such emotion and conviction that it seemed so real: "Qingyuan Sword Master was moved by my determination and surprised by my talent. We hit it off immediately and became very compatible. So, Qingyuan Sword Master was naturally willing to take me as his disciple and took me to a secret place. In that secret place, I obtained many spirit swords."
Everyone around was engrossed in the story. The highly skilled seniors and the exceptionally talented juniors, combined with keywords like determination and perseverance, made it sound exactly like a storybook.
Because they are so similar, they are even a little boring.
Xie Jiaoyue listened perfunctorily while helping the weak Gong Shirao to the roadside. She found a chair for Gong Shirao, entrusted her to Commander Xiao Guo, and then returned to the crowd, squeezing near the exit of the Qingyuan Secret Realm.
She continued, "Brother Xingjin, if you were faced with multiple Heavenly-grade spiritual swords, what would you do?"
Chu Xingjin was taken aback by Xie Jiaoyue's sudden question: "If it were unclaimed, we would naturally choose to take it! Such an opportunity is rare and hard to come by, and I don't think anyone would give it up."
Xie Jiaoyue tilted her head, looking somewhat troubled: "That's strange. I remember that Qingyuan Sword Master never obtained a Heaven-level Spirit Sword. So you mean that he guarded multiple Heaven-level Spirit Swords without being tempted, simply guarding them, and then eventually gave them all to you?"
No matter how you look at it, it doesn't make sense. You can't say that Qingyuan Sword Master is a saint.
The city chiefs were all shrewd individuals. Chief Wan of Yi City secretly asked Chief Jue of Xidi City via telepathy, "Fellow Daoist Jue, you are quite familiar with Jiutian Yun. Is he... a person with such a good personality? Is he the kind of person who would sacrifice so much for his disciple?"
Director Jue didn't say anything, but just rolled his eyes at Director Wan.
Director Wan remained silent. He felt that it was understandable for Chu Xingjin to obtain the Azure Kite Sword, and it was also understandable for him to become a disciple of the Azure Kite Sword Master, but the combination of the two things made it somewhat difficult to understand.
Do you think others don't know? The Azure Kite Sword Master has been waiting for the Azure Kite Sword for so many years, and now he's just given it away. It's really puzzling.
There were naturally many people who shared his thoughts. Although they did not know Qingyuan Sword Master, he was Qingyuan Sword Master, a strong person who had climbed up from the bottom. Would such a person be so kind?
Chu Xingjin could naturally sense the suspicion others had about him. He couldn't help but raise his eyelids to observe Director Wan's expression.
Sure enough, Director Wan was no longer as warm towards him as before, but instead looked at Xie Jiaoyue with great interest.
Chu Xingjin suddenly realized that Xie Jiaoyue was Gong Shirao's daughter, and Gong Shirao was also a descendant of the Gong Shi clan. Therefore, it was not impossible for Director Wan to persuade Xie Jiaoyue to come to Yicheng!
Xie Jiaoyue was in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage just like him. The spiritual items Chu Xingjin obtained were merely extras. If he couldn't solidify his identity as Qingyuan Sword Master's disciple, he and Xie Jiaoyue would be placed on opposite sides of the scale to be chosen by others, and he would no longer be the only one.
Being unique is very important. If he is not unique, his value will be greatly reduced, and neither Yicheng nor Jinlingcheng will give him any more exceptional treatment.
What should I do? What should I say to solidify his position?
Xie Jiaoyue liked Chu Xingjin so much that she couldn't bear to see her Xingjin brother in such a difficult situation. She said considerately, "Brother Xingjin, are some of the Heavenly-grade spirit swords you registered not actually yours? I'm not questioning you, I'm saying, did you give some of them to Sword Master Qingyuan, so that Sword Master Qingyuan was moved by your sincerity and specially took you as his disciple?"
Chu Xingjin was stunned; of course he had never given it to anyone.
But at that moment he heard the whispers of the Chief of the Western City.
"If that's the case, given Jiutianyun's personality, it's indeed possible that he'd take on a disciple. After all, he's guarded that place for so many years, all for the Azure Kite Sword. If it were just any other spirit sword, Jiutianyun probably wouldn't be interested."
Chu Xingjin was shocked. So that's how it is. No wonder the Azure Kite Sword Master's attitude towards him was so strange. It turned out that the Azure Kite Sword Master already knew that there was an Azure Kite Sword there.
No wonder the Azure Kite Sword Master refused the other spirit swords he offered.
But... but is he really going to hand over the Azure Kite Sword so easily?
He looked inward at his dantian, where the Azure Kite Sword lay quietly.
When he first came out of the Azure Kite Secret Realm, he deliberately drew his sword, shocking everyone before immediately putting it back into his dantian.
His cultivation level is too low. It would take him a considerable amount of time to make the Azure Kite Sword his natal spirit sword, and he has only made 10% progress so far.
It's not entirely impossible for him to take out the sword, but losing a little cultivation wouldn't be much, and it wouldn't cause his cultivation to drop even a small realm. He could bear it.
Chu Xingjin weighed the options in his mind.
Since the Azure Kite Sword Master had no intention of coming out, he simply took out the intact Azure Kite Sword and said that this was the spirit sword offered to the Azure Kite Sword Master. Afterwards, the sword would return to his hands, and he would then re-form a contract with the spirit sword and merge with it.
He only lost a little bit of cultivation and time, but what he gained in return was a future full of glory.
The probability of success is at least 90%, it's worth the gamble!
Chu Xingjin gritted his teeth, enduring the unbearable pain emanating from the deepest part of his dantian. He swallowed back the blood that welled up in his throat, repeating this process two or three times before finally summoning the Azure Kite Sword from his body.
The perfectly intact Azure Kite Sword, devoid of any aura of a contract with a cultivator, floated silently in mid-air.
The second appearance of this legendary sword still drew the attention of those around, who held their breath and watched intently.
But wasn't this sword Chu Xingjin's natal spirit sword before? Could it be that they were mistaken before?
To cover up one lie, Chu Xingjin had to tell more lies. He turned his head away, not daring to look at the others, looking guilty and embarrassed: "I gave this spirit sword to my master as soon as I got it. I just wanted to satisfy my vanity, so I wanted to keep it to boost my grades and have some fun for a few days. When the time comes, I will return it to my master."
Before the words had even finished, the water rippled again.
Wait a minute, everyone has already come out, so why are there water ripples again?
Soon, the ripples expanded further, even emitting cracking sounds as if the water was about to break, like a mirror cracking and shattering into indistinct fragments in an instant.
A towering man, seven feet tall, slowly emerged from within. His clothes were not the style commonly seen in the southwestern region today, but rather a style from decades ago, dark in color and solemn in design, which accentuated the man's imposing and robust physique, making him appear like a divine being capable of splitting mountains with his bare hands.
That's right, it's the Azure Kite Swordsman.
Director Xidicheng happily stood up from his chair: "Jiutianyun, you've been a cuckold in front of me for so many years, and you're finally willing to move on?"
Qingyuan Sword Master laughed and scolded, "After all these years, your mouth is still as annoying as ever. Get lost, I don't have time for you right now."
The Azure Kite Sword Master's gaze fell upon Chu Xingjin.
Chu Xingjin was trembling all over. It was actually Qingyuan Sword Master! How did Qingyuan Sword Master come out? Wasn't this person always hiding in the Qingyuan Secret Realm and unwilling to come out?
Oh right, the Azure Kite Sword Master was after the Azure Kite Sword. Now that the Azure Kite Sword has been taken away, the Azure Kite Sword Master naturally has to come out.
But how could he have imagined that he didn't know the Azure Kite Sword Master?
Xie Jiaoyue stood beside Qingyuan Swordsman: "Qingyuan Swordsman, Brother Xingjin just said that he voluntarily offered the Qingyuan Sword to you. Brother Xingjin, do you think that's right?"
In front of so many people, Chu Xingjin was sweating profusely, his hair soaked through, making him look somewhat disheveled.
He couldn't deny it, so he could only manage to say with difficulty, "Yes, I am naturally willing to offer myself to the Azure Kite Sword Master."
Xie Jiaoyue's voice was light and cheerful, like a pink butterfly fluttering freely in a mountain stream: "Master, Brother Chu is so generous, why don't you accept it quickly?"
Chu Xingjin's hand holding the sword instantly stiffened like iron.
