The spring breeze in March finally has some warmth.
Luo Mingchuan showed an expression of disbelief and surprise, which finally turned into a smile.
He hadn't smiled since he and Yin Biyue parted ways in the dungeon. So this smile was a little awkward, and even silly, which he himself didn't realize.
He stood there, at a loss for what to do because of Yin Biyue's unexpected reply, "Junior brother, thank you, I, I will definitely do what I say..."
Liu Qishuang asked worriedly, "Fourth Junior Brother, have you thought it through?"
Yin Biyue nodded, "Don't worry, Senior Sister, I know my limits."
Jun Yu said nothing, just frowned.
Duan Chongxuan didn't know what he was thinking about, and he still looked at Luo Mingchuan with a smile.
Yin Biyue's heart was not as calm as he appeared.
"These days, eight out of ten protagonists have turned evil and are busy with revenge, while one yandere has given up hope. A protagonist with a good family background, sincerity and justice is harder to find than a three-legged toad!"
He inexplicably remembered what the technician had said.
But if the Virgin Mary's thinking is so strange, then...
I would rather have a blackened and abandoned protagonist!!
At least the acting career can be connected!!!
Do you want to replace it? ! ! !
He couldn't understand Luo Mingchuan's train of thought, but since the protagonist had invited him, why wouldn't he do it?
Besides, these fellow disciples who support the villains are really worth worrying about! How can I achieve the goal of "avoiding them from confronting the protagonist" in a tactful way?
But when he saw Luo Mingchuan's joyful expression, he suddenly felt that he had figured it out.
It's like a sudden enlightenment!
It turns out that the script this time is 'The protagonist is sincere and the villain is cruel and ruthless. In the first half, the good friends walk together, but in the second half, they betray and stab each other.'
City people really know how to play with this kind of twists and turns!
Thinking of this, he felt very relieved. It turned out that the role routine was still under his control!
So his expression towards Luo Mingchuan became better, and there was even a smile in his eyes, "Brother Luo, is there anything else?"
Luo Mingchuan seemed to see the frost that had not melted for years on Chenyun Ridge melting and turning into a gurgling spring flowing into his heart.
"No, there is no more... Junior Brother, have a good rest. I will take my leave now."
He said he was saying goodbye, but for some reason he just stood there without moving.
It was not until Duan Chongxuan coughed that he reluctantly turned back.
The few of them talked about the itinerary arrangements for the trip, and after Yin Biyue left——
Liu Qishuang said earnestly,
"Keep an eye on Junior Brother Yin, don't let him be deceived... Although everyone can see that Luo Mingchuan has deep feelings for Junior Brother, he did intend to force him after all, so we can't just hand Junior Brother over to him like this."
Duan Chongxuan's face became serious, and all his previous frivolity faded away. He said solemnly, "Don't worry, Senior Sister, this is natural."
Yin Biyue told her not to worry, but of course she was not at ease.
But when Duan Chongxuan said this, she knew that Luo Mingchuan would never get any advantage.
Jun Yu didn't say anything, but he had the same idea.
So the matter was settled.
After a visit to the academy, Yin Biyue had found a way to practice swordsmanship. After that, he practiced day and night, not daring to slack off for a moment.
He felt that he had vaguely seen the threshold of "breaking the barrier".
He only regretted that time could not pass more slowly so that he could become more proficient in swordplay and achieve a more stable state.
But in the blink of an eye, a month passed and it was time to travel.
The day before leaving, he decided to meet his eldest senior brother and second senior sister as a farewell.
Jun Yu is not in the 'First Courtyard'.
Yin Biyue was drawn by the majestic sword energy and walked to the cliff behind the courtyard.
Jun Yu is practicing sword.
In his hand was a freshly broken dead branch.
When Yin Biyue stood ten feet away, he knew that his sword intent was at its peak and he was gradually getting into the groove, so he stopped where he was to avoid disturbing him.
The next moment, it was as if a mountain appeared in front of them, pressing down on them and making it difficult for them to breathe.
He mobilized his true energy to resist the sword energy, and at the same time focused his eyes and looked carefully.
Jun Yu practiced the 'Xiao Chong Shan' sword technique created by the Sword Saint.
Standing on the cliff, you can see the vast green mountains and take in the mountain terrain.
It was just like Yin Biyue once practiced swordplay beside a cold pond, using the water to temper the sword's power in his hand.
The state of mind, skills, sword moves and sword momentum resonate with the heaven and earth, and everything goes smoothly and as one wishes.
The morning breeze blew up the mist floating under the cliff, and the light of the rising sun gilded the distant mountains.
Thousands of intersecting golden rays of light gathered on the dead branches and merged into a river. The river flowed through mountains and rocks, unstoppable, and rushed across thousands of miles of plains and hills with great momentum, finally merging into the sea silently.
Jun Yu had already put away his sword, stood on the edge of the cliff, and nodded to him from a distance.
He wore a black robe and had black hair, with his sleeves fluttering in the wind.
It turned out that there was no golden light, no rivers, no plains or hills, and no sea.
Only the everlasting green mountains remain steadfastly silent.
Everything is just an image in the sword.
Yin Biyue came back to his senses. He walked forward and bowed, "Sorry to bother you, Senior Brother."
Unexpectedly, Jun Yu asked directly: "How?"
Yin Biyue was startled for a moment before realizing that the other party was asking about the sword technique he had just used.
He thought for a moment, "Brother, you took the mountain force from the 'Small Heavy Mountain' sword technique. The mountain force is full but not overflowing, and it can be controlled freely. I think Brother has understood the true meaning of the sword."
There was no compliment in this statement, because Jun Yu's sword was indeed very good.
Even though he was holding a dead branch and had not yet mobilized his true energy, the sword energy was enough to make him feel like a thorn in his back.
This is the difference in realm, and even more so the difference in swordsmanship.
Jun Yu said, "I swing my sword 63,000 times every day, but I have made no progress in three years."
Yin Biyue then realized that the other party was communicating with him about cultivation.
That’s right, they are the only two people who practice sword skills at Xihua Peak.
Although there is a big gap in their realms, Jun Yu really thinks highly of him.
Naturally, it is impossible for a cultivator in the state of concentration to detect the slightest flaw in the swordsmanship of a half-step Mahayana practitioner.
But Yin Biyue still had experience after all. Moreover, he had already vaguely sensed where Jun Yu's shackles were. Even since Duan Chongxuan said last time, 'Even Chunshanxiao was useless when the senior brother fought against the Mahayana realm', he had always had doubts in his heart...
At this time he asked directly, "Big Brother, why don't you use 'Spring Mountain Smile' when practicing sword?"
Jun Yu said without hesitation, "I have not yet reached the Mahayana stage, so I am not worthy of this sword."
The more Yin Bi thought about it, the more he knew where the problem lay.
His fellow disciples had always been very protective of him, but he never had the chance to repay them.
Therefore, even though I know that what I am saying may sound a bit like showing off my knowledge before an expert, I still decided to continue.
He looked into Jun Yu's eyes and spoke very seriously.
"My realm is not high, but I personally believe that a sword is a sword. Flowers, branches, grass, and trees cannot be swords. Axe, halberd, hook, and fork cannot be swords. Therefore, only when you have a sword in your hand can you be considered to be practicing swordsmanship."
Jun Yu frowned slightly.
"If a sword cannot be used by others, what is the point of it? Keeping it in a room or hanging it on a wall for people to see and enjoy?"
Jun Yu remained silent.
Yin Biyue continued, "In my opinion, although 'Spring Mountain Smile' is good, if it is only placed in a wooden box, it is not a magic weapon, but a shackle!"
"It's binding you!"
Words are like swords, piercing people's hearts! Break through the fog of the authorities!
Jun Yu suddenly raised his eyes, and sharp sword energy burst out!
Yin Biyue's true energy was stimulated to the extreme in an instant, and he still felt his blood boiling.
In just a moment, the violent aura of the person in front of him returned to silence, as deep as a tranquil sea.
"Big Brother, have you ever thought that since Master gave you the sword, it means that in this world, no one else is worthy of this sword except you!"
Jun Yu flicked his sleeves lightly, as if brushing away an invisible speck of dust.
Thus, all the depression of the past years disappeared with a wave of his sleeve.
He said solemnly, "Thank you, Junior Brother."
Yin Bi lowered his head and said, "I don't deserve your thanks."
But Jun Yu still bowed to him. Yin Biyue quickly turned sideways to avoid the bow.
Jun Yu stood there in a daze, looking at the distant mountains.
Yin Biyue said goodbye and turned to go down the mountain alone.
He knew that Jun Yu's mental barriers had been broken, and now he needed time to be alone and reflect.
He could see these things, not because he was smarter than Jun Yu, but because he was in a difficult situation.
Because everyone thought Jun Yu was very strong, no one would have thought that Jun Yu would have shackles.
Even Duan Chongxuan's tone was full of admiration when he mentioned that Jun Yu didn't need Chun Shanxiao to fight.
Jun Yu is indeed very strong, but he has too much on his shoulders.
The reputation of the Sword Saint's first disciple, the responsibility of the eldest senior brother, Xihua Peak and Cangya Mountain, and even the stability of the world.
It's more than just a 'Spring Mountain Smile'?
The world is not as peaceful as it seems.
Because the Sword Master had been missing for a long time, some people with ulterior motives even spread extremely obscure rumors: the Sword Master is no longer in this world.
But there is no sub-sage in Cangya Mountain.
This means that if the Sword Saint is really gone one day, Jun Yu, who has the strongest combat power in Cangya, may face more than one sub-saint.
The more Yin Bi thought about this, the heavier his mood became.
Because what he can think of, many people can also think of, openly or secretly.
Even in the thousands of changes, every change has been deduced. For example, the dean.
