Chapter 174

Chapter 174: Mo Xiaoyu, Have You Been Possessed? And the Sect’s Secret Message Hall!

Returning to the attic, Meng Changqing pinched his temples.

The sect’s way of doing things had too many problems. Once he became the sect leader, he must change this!

How could everyone be an enemy?

In life, naturally, the more ‘friends’ the better!

So, starting from this talent competition, he would use his charm and his sword to turn enemies into ‘friends’.

Let them feel his ‘sincerity’!

Thinking this, Meng Changqing put down his hand and smiled.

The talent competition was imminent.

All the disciples were increasingly tense, mostly cultivating in their rooms, not daring to waste a moment.

Even Shi Yao had become quiet.

—

Ten days later, the cloud boat broke through the clouds and wind,

finally arriving at Tianxuan Prefecture!

The concentration of spiritual energy around them was clearly rising rapidly!

Far surpassing other prefectures!

In view, the sun was dazzling, radiating myriad rays.

The land was vast and expansive, with continuous mountains.

Majestic peaks stood tall, reaching into the clouds.

Countless ancient cities, like bright pearls, adorned the landscape.

With just one look, it felt like arriving at a legendary paradise.

“What dense spiritual energy.” Noticing the change in the environment, all the disciples came out, looking around curiously.

Meng Changqing also opened the door.

“Good morning, Uncle!” Next to him, Mo Xiaoyu’s voice sounded.

This girl seemed to be cultivating right next to him.

“Why don’t you call me a bad guy anymore?” Meng Changqing patted her head, smiling.

“Uncle, don’t slander a child,” Mo Xiaoyu looked at him with big eyes and said seriously, “Xiaoyu has always respected you, how could I slander you?”

Hiss~

These words made Meng Changqing’s hair stand on end.

Was this still the arrogant Mo Xiaoyu he knew?

“Have you been possessed?” Meng Changqing couldn’t help but say.

He then checked Mo Xiaoyu’s eyes, pinched her face, and even opened her mouth.

This series of actions made the little girl unable to maintain her composure, her face flushed, and she quickly slapped Meng Changqing’s hand away.

“Uncle!” Mo Xiaoyu’s face turned red, hands on her hips.

“That’s more like it.” Meng Changqing was relieved, “Tell me, what do you want?”

“Hehe, just a small request, and you found out~” Mo Xiaoyu rubbed her hands, “Uncle is really wise and perceptive!”

“I knew it, you suddenly became so polite.” Meng Changqing crossed his arms, “Speak, what’s the matter.”

“It’s not a big deal, just a few doubts I have about swordsmanship. Can you help me, Uncle?” Mo Xiaoyu hugged Meng Changqing’s leg, her adorable eyes full of hope.

To be honest, it was embarrassing.

As an innate sword body, she had to ask a ‘rising star’ for advice on swordsmanship!

But she had no choice.

Recently, the elder had explained the sect’s situation thoroughly.

To avoid being defeated too early in the talent competition, she had to find every way to improve her strength.

Cultivation level aside for now, it’s hard to improve in a short time.

So, only swordsmanship was left!

Practicing alone was too difficult. With someone’s help, it would be much easier!

“No problem.” Meng Changqing readily agreed.

It was nothing to him. With his current swordsmanship, he was almost surpassing Mo Shukuang, let alone advising this little one.

“Thank you, Uncle! You’re the best~” Mo Xiaoyu was overjoyed, her voice sweet.

At this age, a little girl’s sweet voice and cute appearance were indeed very disarming.

“Go ahead.” Meng Changqing casually sat on the doorstep.

Mo Xiaoyu quickly sat down too, shuffling closer.

“It’s like this…” Mo Xiaoyu began to explain.

The content was not as simple as she said, nor were they just a few small doubts.

They involved sword intent.

And the “Emperor Sword Sutra.”

Mostly the latter.

Meng Changqing answered fluently, even helping her draw inferences and understand related concepts.

Mo Xiaoyu frequently showed enlightened expressions.

This highlighted the strength of her innate sword body.

For others, even with top-notch comprehension, it wouldn’t be so easy to understand.

But with the sword body, Mo Xiaoyu grasped everything quickly!

Of course, this also had to do with Meng Changqing’s explanations.

His swordsmanship was very advanced.

Three-tenths sword intent.

Every word he spoke was profound, without any unnecessary talk.

So, time passed bit by bit.

An hour later, Mo Xiaoyu, with a flushed face and excited eyes, quickly ran back to her room.

It seemed she was ready to thoroughly digest and absorb what she had learned.

“Just ran off after getting what she wanted.” Meng Changqing chuckled.

She didn’t even say ‘thank you, Uncle’.

But he understood her state, already fully immersed in her insights, with no energy for other things.

“Innate sword body” Meng Changqing stood up slowly.

He hadn’t used this physique yet.

Not because it wasn’t strong.

On the contrary, it was very strong, one of his trump cards!

But until now, no one of his peers had forced him to use it.

Perhaps in this talent competition, he would have a chance to use it!

“Changqing, get ready, we’re almost at our destination.” The elder approached, saying, “This time, you’ll also meet two other senior brothers and sisters.”

Hearing this, Meng Changqing’s spirit lifted.

For his senior brothers and sisters, he had met eight in the sect.

According to the elder, there should be eighteen in total.

But thinking of the eight tombstones in the sect leader’s spiritual world, Meng Changqing had some guesses.

“I wonder if these two senior brothers and sisters have any special traits!” Meng Changqing looked forward to it.

—

Below, the ancient city was called Wangyue Ancient City.

It had a long history.

Many forces were within, mostly family clans.

But only two were first-rank.

Tai Xuan Sect’s structure wasn’t as simple as it appeared. There were hidden aspects such as intelligence gathering, like the Secret Message Hall.

It was controlled and managed by two senior brothers and sisters who had gradually withdrawn from the sect’s public view.

They had branches in every major prefecture in the southern region.
