Chapter 115 Leaving the Secret Realm 5 Is this what young love is like? ...
This situation is quite exciting. The Sword Master Qingyuan, who has never liked taking on disciples, suddenly has two disciples. No matter how you look at it, it makes you want to hear more.
Especially the Chief of the Western City, who had stopped coughing and no longer kept his handkerchief on his face, his eyes were shining brightly and full of spirit. He said to Jiu Tianyun in a teasing tone, "Oh, I didn't expect you to have so much free time and be willing to teach two apprentices. Is this what they mean by an old tree blossoming?"
Jiutian Yun denied it decisively: "No, I only have one disciple. The most important thing for a person is to be focused. You know, I don't have much patience. If I had two disciples, how could I possibly teach them all?"
So, which one, Xie Jiaoyue or Chu Xingjin, is actually Jiutianyun's disciple?
Chu Xingjin faced Jiu Tianyun the whole time. In front of him were only Jiu Tianyun and Xie Jiaoyue, to his side were several directors, and behind him were people from various aristocratic families in the entire Southwest Region.
Every family with even a little reputation has at least one person here; there are no exceptions.
He dared not turn around, dared not face the questioning gaze of anyone, and could only stand stiffly in place, facing Xie Jiaoyue and Jiu Tianyun, whom he also did not want to face.
Why, why is it that Jiutianyun is unwilling to accept him as a disciple, but is willing to accept Xie Jiaoyue as a disciple?
It's one thing to accept Xie Jiaoyue as a disciple, but why did you have to leave the Qingyuan Secret Realm? Why did you have to leave the Qingyuan Secret Realm so soon?
Even if we have to wait a while, even just one day would be fine. Xie Jiaoyue has always said that she loves him the most, so why not let him be number one for once? Why do we have to oppose him at every turn?
Chu Xingjin's mind was a jumbled mess, with ideas popping up one after another, none of which lingered for even a second, because he dared not think about them in detail or delve into them deeply.
He is awaiting final judgment.
At this moment, Chu Xingjin felt his hand loosen, and the Qingyuan Sword was taken away.
Chu Xingjin subconsciously looked up and saw that the sword was being held in Jiu Tianyun's hand.
A glimmer of hope suddenly appeared in his heart. What did this mean? Had Jiu Tianyun been moved by him again?
Although he felt that this was the sword that should belong to him, he could reluctantly accept it if he could exchange it for Jiutianyun as his master.
In his heart, the Nine Heavens Cloud was no match for this sword, but in this situation, it was the best choice.
Directly opposite Chu Xingjin, Jiu Tianyun was playing with the Qingyuan Sword.
This sword was once the one that guided his path, so much so that he kept it in his heart for many years and was willing to wait for it in the Azure Kite Secret Realm for many years.
But when he actually held it in his hands, after all those years of hardship had vanished, he didn't seem particularly excited.
Even that couldn't overcome the urge to make things difficult for Chu Xingjin.
He didn't hold a grudge against Chu Xingjin before, not so that Chu Xingjin could use his name to swindle and deceive people.
You should think about the consequences of your actions.
"Since you are so eager to give me this sword, I will accept it, so as not to waste your good intentions."
Xie Jiaoyue tugged at Jiutianyun's sleeve: "Brother Xingjin, you said before that the opportunity you had in the Qingyuan Secret Realm was given to you by the Qingyuan Sword Master. How many spirit swords did you obtain in total? I heard that many people who wanted to become the Qingyuan Sword Master's disciples were willing to give up more than just one spirit sword."
Chu Xingjin glared fiercely at Xie Jiaoyue.
Xie Jiaoyue looked completely bewildered: "Brother Xingjin, what's wrong with your eyes? I was thinking of you. If you want to become Qingyuan Sword Master's disciple, you naturally have to be more willing to give up something, right? Or did you just fool Qingyuan Sword Master before?"
Xie Jiaoyue spoke softly, and no one except the three of them could hear her.
Chu Xingjin suddenly realized that Xie Jiaoyue's words were specifically for him, giving him one last chance.
If he can win over the Azure Kite Sword Master, all his current predicaments will be resolved.
If Xie Jiaoyue is Qingyuan Sword Master's disciple, then why didn't she expose him before? The answer has now emerged: because of Xie Jiaoyue's affection for him, she couldn't bear to see him truly lose face, so she kept helping him.
Chu Xingjin's gaze towards Xie Jiaoyue softened with tenderness once more. The woman who had been the first to express her feelings for him truly evoked deep emotions.
Sigh, it seems like all those things before were just a misunderstanding.
Chu Xingjin then took out a Heaven-grade spiritual sword and two Earth-grade spiritual swords: "I obtained a total of four spiritual swords in the secret realm. How can I be compared with Qingyuan Sword Master? Naturally, I will offer all of these spiritual swords to Qingyuan Sword Master. I am only at the Foundation Establishment stage and am not in a hurry to have my own natal spiritual sword. I don't need these things at the moment."
The Azure Kite Sword Master was much taller than Xie Jiaoyue. He accepted the remaining three spirit swords, then gave Xie Jiaoyue's head a hard ruffle, messing up all her hair, which made Xie Jiaoyue so angry that she ran away several steps.
He couldn't tell whether Xie Jiaoyue genuinely wanted him to take Chu Xingjin as her disciple, or what; Xie Jiaoyue seemed genuinely affectionate towards Chu Xingjin. But it didn't matter; a disciple was just a disciple. Although he wasn't a cold-blooded person towards his disciples, he still cared more about his own feelings.
He ignored Xie Jiaoyue and said to Chu Xingjin, "Young Master Chu is too kind. We have only met twice, yet you are willing to give me such a generous gift."
Chu Xingjin immediately seized the opportunity: "Of course, I have long admired the Sword Master Qingyuan, and this gift is just a small token of my respect and admiration."
“Then I certainly cannot let you down. I will accept these swords.” Qingyuan Sword said loudly, “It just so happens that my only little disciple, Xie Jiaoyue, has just established her foundation and needs an excellent spirit sword. I will study them and use them to create a suitable one for her.”
With just one simple sentence, Chu Xingjin was sentenced to death.
In fact, the onlookers had already sensed from Jiutianyun's subtle tone and attitude who his true disciple was, but they remained cautious and silent until a definitive conclusion was reached.
The conclusion has now been reached.
Chu Xingjin is quite an interesting person. He actually dared to tell such a huge lie in front of so many of them, and almost made them believe it.
This person must have set a trap for Qingyuan Sword Master in the Qingyuan Secret Realm as well, otherwise why would Qingyuan Sword Master target him so much?
Come to think of it, the Azure Kite Sword has always been guarded by the Azure Kite Sword Master, and the incredible opportunity must have been given to Chu Xingjin by the Azure Kite Sword Master. But Chu Xingjin came out with all the spirit swords and didn't give him anything in return. How could the Azure Kite Sword Master be happy?
Now they want to exchange something for the master-disciple relationship? How could Qingyuan Sword Master possibly agree to that? Taking the spirit sword was just a way to teach them a lesson; not directly attacking them was already merciful.
Chu Xingjin was truly like a clown, adding a lot of fun to their peaceful and uneventful lives.
Director Yicheng, who had originally extended an olive branch to Chu Xingjin, withdrew his offer and instead walked towards Gong Shirao, seemingly wanting to try another path.
Yicheng may lack talent, but it doesn't lack clowns.
There was more than one person surrounding Gong Shirao. Director Baili also went there. He personally brought the elixir to Gong Shirao and even invited the Director of Xidi City to examine her pulse and observe her condition. He appeared to be a good director who cared about the people of Jinling City.
Director Baili was extremely grateful that he hadn't been too forceful in pressuring Gong Shirao earlier; there was still a chance to make amends.
The clown was just for fun; the focus of attention was on the true disciple of the Azure Kite Sword Master, whose cultivation subtly surpassed Chu Xingjin's.
All the praise that was originally given to Chu Xingjin was now directed at Xie Jiaoyue. People talked about her and her team's gains, praising Xie Jiaoyue for being talented, beautiful and generous, and for not forgetting her friends even after gaining something herself. Everyone had a huge harvest of spiritual herbs, ores, demon cores, demon beast corpses, and even spiritual springs and spiritual milk.
Moreover, it's clear that the group has a very good relationship. For example, the ore is mainly in Xie Xinghui's hands, and everyone got what they needed.
Then, thinking about Gongshi Yu's fruitless efforts, everything became clear.
One side is bustling while the other is deserted.
Chu Xingjin felt desolate not only in his surroundings but also in his heart.
At this moment, Chu Xingjin's hands were empty; he had gone from holding four spirit swords to having no spirit swords at all.
The most valuable treasures he obtained in the Azure Iris Secret Realm were the five spirit swords. After leaving the Azure Iris Secret Realm, he subconsciously concealed one of them, only saying that he had obtained four. However, the only hidden earth-grade spirit sword became the only thing he held in his hands.
Before he could even retract his outstretched hand, he looked up at the Azure Kite Sword Master with a questioning gaze, forgetting even to use a respectful form of address: "You, you accepted my spirit swords, but you don't intend to take me as your disciple? Those are two Heaven-grade spirit swords and two Earth-grade spirit swords! If you don't take me as a disciple, who would give you such precious things? And how dare you accept these things like that?"
Jiutianyun looked puzzled: "When you gave me the spirit sword just now, did you say it was on the condition that I would take you as my disciple? If you had said that earlier, I wouldn't have accepted it."
"Just like when you said in the secret realm that you only obtained three swords and were willing to give me one of them, which wasn't very good quality, on the condition that I would take you as my apprentice, I didn't accept it, did I?"
He laughed heartily: "But you didn't say this time. I'm a very cautious person. The first thing I do when I get a magic weapon is to bind it to my master with my blood. I use a binding technique that can't be erased. Unless your cultivation is higher than mine, you can't erase my mark."
"What a pity, you can't take it back."
Chu Xingjin was so angry that he couldn't speak.
What could he do? He had no way out!
He said it, he did it, he brought it all on himself, and the other party really didn't make any promises from beginning to end.
Who could he blame? He couldn't even find anyone to blame.
No, it's Xie Jiaoyue's fault.
Chu Xingjin felt he understood again. Xie Jiaoyue hadn't been laying the groundwork or giving him an opportunity at all. Xie Jiaoyue simply wanted to see him make a fool of himself and wanted to cooperate with Qingyuan Sword Master to steal his spirit sword!
That bastard! He knew that wherever that bastard was, that bastard would definitely make things difficult for him!
Chu Xingjin strode up to Xie Jiaoyue, raised his hand high, and it looked like it was about to reach Xie Jiaoyue's face.
Xie Jiaoyue immediately threw a pebble under Wang Jiutianyun's body to stop her master from protecting his own, and then reached out and grabbed Chu Xingjin's hand before it hit the ground.
She still remembered her public persona; the system kept whispering in her ear, reminding her that her persona was about to collapse.
She was determined to express her love once again and tell the world that she had no regrets about Chu Xingjin.
Xie Jiaoyue held Chu Xingjin's wrist gently yet firmly, in a way that was neither too easy for him to break free nor too difficult to hurt him; she had the perfect balance.
“Brother Xingjin, you weren’t like this before. You were a gentle and kind person, like an immortal lord. When did you become like this?”
"He deceived his master inside the secret realm, deceived everyone outside the secret realm, and bullied my mother at the same time."
“Brother Xingjin, you are not such a despicable person.”
"It's alright. Since I love you so much, I won't stand by and watch you fall into such a state."
Xie Jiaoyue unleashed tremendous strength, dragging Chu Xingjin directly to Gong Shirao's side.
With a thud, Chu Xingjin knelt down on both knees.
Xie Jiaoyue's expression was like that of a goddess, her eyes filled with loving kindness: "We promised to be together for life, Xingjin-gege, be good, kowtow and apologize, beg my mother not to cancel the engagement."
She looked at the two directors beside Gong Shirao: "I love him so much, don't I?"
Director Baili looked at Chu Xingjin's flushed face and pale wrists.
Hmm, is this what love is like for young people? It's quite novel.
