There were many more sword lights like this.
On each streak of sword light, an enchanting celestial maiden stood.
With fluttering sleeves, they looked like goddesses descended to earth.
They were all female disciples of the Tianxiang Pavilion.
Aside from these female disciples, outside the Tianxiang Pavilion in the heavens and earth.
Row upon row of cranes flew side by side.
At this point, Mao Ruxue came over and pointed to the sea in front of her, saying:
"Brother, when Iâm talking to you, donât you think this vast sea is beautiful?"
"Humph, bumpkin, itâs just a sea, is there any need to make such a fuss about it?"
Mao Ruxueâs words did not get a response from Chen Changâan, instead, they drew a disdainful sneer from a girl standing next to her, with her hands folded on her chest.
The girl was no other than Li Zhiwan, a fellow disciple on this journey.
Li Zhiwan, true to her name, her chest was as round as the small bowls adults use for meals.
Delicate, pure white, and round.
This has always been Li Zhiwanâs pride!
"Oh, so itâs you, Niece Mu!"
"I say, Niece Mu, who gave you the courage, with your small bowls, to dare show off before me, your uncle master?"
Seeing it was Li Zhiwan, Mao Ruxue immediately laughed
"Mao Ruxue, you...you!"
Upon seeing this, Li Zhiwan was instantly angered.
She was speechless with rage.
"Me? What about me? Niece, Iâm very serious about teaching you about society."
"You canât be so âferociousâ towards your uncle master."
"Otherwise, your uncle master will cry."
Mao Ruxue laughed.
Though both of them were perfect, Li Zhiwan paled in comparison to Mao Ruxue!
"Mao Ruxue, you... whine, you are bullying me again!"
"Iâm ignoring you, Iâm not going to talk to you again..!"
Li Zhiwan cried, tears rolling down her cheeks.
Whimper, whimper,
Such an injustice!
From childhood to adulthood, she and Mao Ruxue have been neighbors.
Sheâs a well-read lady, polite and modest, proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting.
A young lady of good family, wherever she goes, she is the subject of discussion.
And Mao Ruxue? Sheâs always taken an unconventional path since childhood.
She doesnât learn manners or follow them, acting carelessly since childhood.
None of the so-called qualities of a lady can be seen in her!
However, itâs just such a ruffian.
She couldnât beat her in anything.
She couldnât beat her in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, cultivation...
From head to toe, apart from being slightly superior in terms of knowledge and manners, she couldnât beat her in anything else, whether itâs life or anything else!
Li Zhiwan put up with all this.
But now, even her figure, which she takes pride in, canât compare with hers.
Li Zhiwan actually felt like killing!
She really canât understand what sin she committed in her last life to meet such a person!
Lifeâs unbearable!
"Enough, junior sister, canât you behave yourself?"
Chen Changâan couldnât look on any longer and hurriedly spoke out.
If this continues, heâll lose all his face!
"Oh, okay, senior brother."
Hearing Chen Changâanâs words, Mao Ruxue quickly released her grip and walked over with a dejected look, like a repentant rooster.
"Is your name Li Zhiwan?"
At this point, Chen Changâan looked at Li Zhiwan.
I must say, this girl is quite interesting.
After all, being able to tease Li Zhiwan from a young age and still live such an optimistic life, this in itself is quite an achievement.
"Yes...yes, uncle...uncle master."
Upon hearing Chen Changâan call her name, Li Zhiwan quickly wiped away the traces of tears from her eyes and replied in a trembling voice.
Over these past few days, the individual that had undeniably stood in the center of everybodyâs attention at the Tianshui Sect was none other than Uncle Master Chen Changâan from Daozang Mountain.
He traversed each stage with a single step, reaching the level of a Great Scholar in a mere span of six steps, his achievements were unparalleled, shaking both the past and present!
As a disciple of the Tianshui Sect, Li Zhiwan was naturally aware of these legends,
And she held profound respect in her heart for this Uncle Master Chen Changâan.
When she heard this highly respected Uncle Master calling her name, it was only natural that her heart trembled.
"Thereâs no need to be so nervous, just act normally."
As Li Zhiwan trembled nervously, Chen Changâan on the opposite side raised his hand and spoke.
His voice was calm, his emotions inscrutable, nevertheless it radiated a warmth that one could not help but feel.
"Yes... Uncle Master."
At the sound of this gentle voice, Li Zhiwanâs nerves immediately calmed considerably.
"Hmm."
Chen Changâan nodded, continuing:
"Are you practicing the Dao of Courtesy?"
"Yes, Uncle Master." Li Zhiwan returned a bow to Chen Changâan.
She couldnât understand why Uncle Master Chen would suddenly ask this.
Chen Changâan said:
"In the future, consider studying swordsmanship instead."
"Study the sword?" Li Zhiwan paused in surprise.
Because a sword, symbolizing violence, was contrary to her character,
She had never attempted to learn it before.
Even when she chose a mentor upon entering the mountain, Bai Yunzi advised her not to study the sword, but to learn something related to courtesy instead.
Thatâs why she ended up studying the Dao of Courtesy.
"Yes, study the sword."
Chen Changâan nodded:
"If I remember correctly, thereâs a swordsmanship manual called âQuestioning Affectionâ in the scripture library of Wendao Peak."
"If you have time, you might want to take a look at it."
After saying this, Chen Changâan didnât say much else.
It is not suitable to say too much, after all, he is not Li Zhiwanâs master. It would be improper for him to interfere too much in her education.
As well as, they had already arrived at Tianxiang Pavilion.
"Disciple thanks Uncle Master for the guidance."
Seeing that Chen Changâan didnât say more, Li Zhiwan also bowed to Chen Changâan.
Although she was still puzzled about this matter, she kept Chen Changâanâs words in mind.
Humm, humm, humm~!
At this moment, the Flying Boat had entered the range of Tianxiang Pavilionâs mountaintop.
"Greetings esteemed Seniors, Tianxiang Pavilion welcomes your arrival."
"Please follow us here, weâve arranged a specific place for you to park your Flying Boat."
As soon the Flying Boat entered the territory of Tianxiang Pavilion, several women dressed in matching green dresses approached it.
The woman leading the group bowed to Chen Changâan and then spoke.
These women were none other than the female disciples of Tianxiang Pavilion.
Each of these female disciples behaved gracefully, with gentle manners and courteous attitudes, they did not display any signs of aggression.
But within their modesty, there was an elegance unique to the disciples of a large sect.
Nobility.
And they were not to be trifled with...
"Thank you for your trouble, ladies."
Chen Changâan stepped forward and bowed to the group of female disciples.
"May I ask whether you are Mr. Chen Changâan?"
A female disciple suddenly asked Chen Changâan, her face filled with curiosity, voice soft.
"Indeed," Chen Changâan nodded.
"So it is Mr. Chen in person."
"Us ladies have had the pleasure of meeting you, Mr. Chen."
The moment the female disciple heard Chen Changâanâs statement, she immediately bowed respectfully.
"Before your arrival, Pavilion Master had instructed us."
"If we saw you, we should escort you to Heavenly Phoenix Pavilion, and ensure that you are served well."
"Mr. Chen, and the rest of the Junior Sisters, please follow me."
