Chapter 695: He was Such a Despicable Person!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
âAchoo! Achoo!â
On the way back to the First Pavilion in the Sky, Xu Xiaoshou violently sneezed.
He felt that he was being targeted. At this time, there might be many factions secretly discussing him and trying to do something illegal.
âOnly a mediocrity not to be envied.â
Xu Xiaoshou tried his best to comfort himself. He thought about the mission regarding the troublemaker of Dongtianwang City, and it wasnât all done by him.
The Jiang Clan, Yama..
All of this was done by Xu Deye alone.
Even if someone were to find out the truth, at most, the enemies would only be able to find a code name of Xu Fuji. Everything had nothing to do with him, Xu Xiaoshou.
âYes, thatâs right.â
On the way back, there were many unfamiliar faces in the Central Zone.
Xu Xiaoshouâs Master Stage âPerceptionâwas not to be trifled with. He could clearly draw a conclusion from the comparison between the number of people in the Imperial City today and the number of people in the past few days.
âA large number of new people have arrived in the Imperial City!â
Perhaps it was because the young talents from the various counties and cities of the Eastern Sky Realm had arrived one after another, or perhaps it was because the information he had asked the Night Cat to release had some impact.
In short, in the eyes of Xu Xiaoshou, the huge and peaceful Imperial City of the Dongtianwangcity was filled with the calm before the storm.
âYoung Master Xu!â
When they returned to the First Pavilion in the Sky, the parade led by Xu Xiaoji had not yet returned.
On the other hand, Xiao Wanfeng seemed to have successfully graduated from the teaching of Master Siren. He came in front of Xu Xiaoshou with a face full of excitement and happily raised his teacup, âWant a sip?â
Xu Xiaoshou, ââŠâ
Xiao Wanfeng was really a perfect example of a dutiful person serving tea and pouring water!
Xu Xiaoshou stared at the Teacup that was raised by the other party for a long time, but he couldnât find any other taste. However, in order to be on the safe side, he hesitated for a moment and said, âXiao Wanfeng, there are some things that I donât know whether I should say or not.â
âWhat words?âXiao Wanfeng froze.
Did something bad happen? Why did Young Master Xu give off such a serious feeling when he returned home.
Xu Xiaoshou pressed down Xiao Wanfengâs hand that was raising the teacup High, and earnestly said, âUp until now, you are also a genius swordsman that the Seven Sword Deity thinks highly of. If the job of serving tea and pouring water makes you feel⊠well, insulting, you can speak up and I can give you a more decent job.â
âInsulting?â Xiao Wanfeng was stunned. He had never felt this way ever.
Serving tea and pouring water was just a formality. More importantly, the reason why he chose to join the First Pavilion in the Sky was to get good protection.
It was just serving tea, pouring water, and being at peopleâs beck and call!
Whatâs there to be insulting?
Xiao Wanfeng thought to himself, Young Master Xu, you donât know what Iâve done before!
However, Xiao Wanfeng was touched that Young Master Xu would think of him in such a way.
âYoung Master Xu, youâre exaggerating it.â
He put down his hand with the same serious expression and said, âServing tea and pouring water is not insulting, and I donât think thereâs any difference between nobility and inferiority. The First Pavilion in the Sky gives me a very good feeling. It really feels like a family, butâŠâ
Xiao Wanfeng hesitated for a moment. Looking at Young Master Xuâs questionable expression, he suspiciously said, âYoung Master Xuâs sudden words, is it because Iâm not good enough? Or is it that you already have the intention to fire me? If thatâs the case, please tell me, Young Master Xu!â
He was serious as if he was asking for punishment.
Xu Xiaoshou raised his eyebrows and was shocked by Xiao Wanfengâs logic.
It was rare to see such a talented and intelligent young man who also took into account the sophistication of the world.
He could actually hear a different meaning from his words. Although he did not have the intention to fire him, he could still sense the hidden meaning in his words..
Xu Xiaoshou thought of Xin Gugu and Mu Zixi. These two people definitely did not have such abilities!
âYouâre thinking too much.â
Xu Xiaoshou laughed and walked towards the inner hall of the First Pavilion in the Sky, âI was worried that if you have some achievements in the near future, such as becoming the Nine Sword Deity⊠And when you look back at that time, you would think that your job right now is a stain on your life and that you would turn against me.â
Xiao Wanfeng:ââŠâ
He didnât expect Young Master Xu to have so many thoughts going on, but at the same time, he was also a little excited about the high hopes Young Master Xu had given him.
âThatâs not necessary.âXiao Wanfeng chuckled.
âOh, judging from your words, do you really think that you can become the Nine Sword Deity?â Xu Xiaoshou stopped and looked back.
âUh.â
This time, Xiao Wanfeng was embarrassed. His face turned red, but he pondered for a long time before he actually raised his eyes and seriously said, âI think I can!â
âHa.â Xu Xiaoshou was amused and did not comment.
It was a good thing for young people to be confident.
However, what would happen in the future was unknown.
âTake a seat!â
When he came to his seat, Xu Xiaoshou waved his hand, asking him to take a seat. Then, he looked around and asked, âDid Master Siren go out?â
âYes.â
Xiao Wanfeng nodded.
After answering his questions, Mei Siren had already left the building.
He was not a staff member of the First Pavilion in the Sky, so he naturally did not need to report his actions to Young Master Xu. He also did not need to worry about going out like this would affect his position like Xiao Wanfeng.
âHowâs your learning?â Xu Xiaoshou asked out of curiosity.
He had never experienced the teaching of the Seven Sword Deity, even though he had âSword Technique Expertiseâ and did not need the so-called Seven Sword Deity to answer his questions.
However, the feeling of being noticed by such a big name and being taught with all the tricks was something really had his curiosity.
âVery good!â
When it came to the teaching of Mei Siren, Xiao Wanfeng was a little excited, âMaster Siren answered too many questions that puzzled me for a long time, and he also researched on the reason why I was able to produce Sword Aura during the Hidden Sword stage. In the end, he even confirmed that I am now a master swordsman!â
Xiao Wanfeng was extremely excited as he spoke. He put down the tea tray moved his hands around.
âMaster Swordsman, Young Master Xu!â
âDo you dare to believe it? I am now a master swordsman? I canât even believe it myself, but this is what Master Siren told me. He said that the realm of my Sword Will is large enough. I do have the sense of a master swordsman, but I lack the confidence of being a master swordsman.â
âI, I, IâŠâ
Xiao Wanfeng was at a loss with his face turned red, âAm I a master swordsman? This is ridiculous! But itâs a fact. Can you understand Young Master Xu about this feeling?â
Xu Xiaoshou:ââŠâ
âYes.â
He nodded. He knew that the young man in front of him had hidden the sword to the extent that he was suspicious of his realm.
In essence, Xiao Wanfeng had always thought that he was an ordinary person.
But wasnât this the case for the ancient swordsman?
Putting aside the concept of the Way of the Sword that had been hidden away, Xiao Wanfengâs energy reserve that had no spiritual source was just like an ordinary people in the eyes of an outsider?
âWhat was his explanation for the sword energy that could burst out of your body during the Hidden Sword stage?âXu Xiaoshou asked. This question was also the key to his curiosity.
The reason why the Eighth Sword Deity had drawn his sword during the Hidden Sword stage was because he had comprehended the Nine Major Sword Techniques and created sword cognition through the perfect fusion. It was considered a state of transcendence.
Xiao Wanfeng couldnât possibly be like this!
âIâm still researching.â
Xiao Wanfeng calmed down a little and replied, âMaster siren gave me a very vague explanation as well. He only deduced that my path of the ancient swordsman was crooked. After all, I havenât experienced any orthodox learning.â
âBut!â
âThereâs no such thing as crooked or righteous in the Path of the Swordsman. The reason why the path of the predecessors was called the smooth path was because this path was recognized by the public and one can be cultivated to the level of the Saint.â
âBut other paths that were not recognized and had not been practiced before did not necessarily mean that they could not be granted the title of Saint or Godhood.â
âTherefore, although Master Siren felt that my path was crooked, I could still give it a try.â
âHe even suggested that I try to imitate the attacking methods of the other Nine Major Sword Techniques by merely using Sword Will during the Hidden Sword stage.â
âPerhaps. This is also a path of the ancient swordsman that is different from the Nine Swords Technique.â
Xu Xiaoshou was surprised that this evaluation was not low.
âMaster Siren told you all this?âHe asked.
Xiao Wanfeng shook his head slightly.
âMost of it. A small part of it is my conclusion!â
âMaster Siren said that he had seen too many ancient swordsman, but there were very few who succeeded.â
âActually, he suggested that I continue to acknowledge him as my master and study the Path of the Ancient Swordsman seriously before getting into other branches of swordman, butâŠâ
âYou rejected him?âXu Xiaoshou followed up.
âYes.â
Xiao Wanfeng nodded and was silent for a long time, he couldnât help but laugh, âItâs funny, but I always feel that I can do it. I can, so I really rejected Master Sirenâs good intention once again. How should I put it? Itâs a bitâŠuppity!â
The youth sighed as he spoke.
Xu Xiaoshou also fell silent.
He knew that Xiao Wanfeng didnât have âSword Technique Expertiseâ. Being able to reject such a temptation was enough to show how strong the youthâs perservance was.
However, the path to becoming a Saint wasnât something that could be achieved with just a passion.
Xu Xiaoshou couldnât give a firm âyes or noâ answer to Xiao Wanfengâs way of doing things.
This young manâs path might be successful, or it might not.
Everything could only depend on his own understanding.
âDo your best!â
Xu Xiaoshou could only give encouragement, âThe path is at the foot of yours, and the direction is also chosen by the people themselves. Perhaps the biased path of the world is indeed a wrong path, but who knows whether it can turn out to be a broad and bright path?â
âThatâs what I think.âXiao Wanfeng stood up excitedly, as if he had met a soulmate.
Xu Xiaoshou chuckled and gestured for him to sit properly and said, âSo, what about my question?â
Before he left the First Pavilion in the Sky, he had asked Xiao Wanfeng to ask Mei Siren on his behalf, âSeal the Sword till I was old enough to be a Saint, how long will that take me?â
This question was naturally based on the Eighth Sword Deity.
Xiao Wanfeng obviously did not forget this question. He said, âMaster Siren said that in this world, the number of âSeal the Swordâcases that can be used for serious research was only a handful.â
âMost of these few people were interfered by external forces during the process of Sealing the Sword. They couldnât even resist til they die.â
âThe only one who has gone far on this path and might still succeed is the Eighth Sword Deity!â
After a pause, Xiao Wanfeng continued, âMaster Sirenâs understanding is that if the Eighth Sword Deity is really in the state of Sealing the Sword and is really walking this path, then he must have started planning decades ago.â
âThis path is too difficult. He must have a Dao Guardian by his side to prevent any unexpected accidents from ending his path to Seal the Sword.â
âIf he really started decades ago to Seal the Sword, then at least he has passed through the most difficult stages of the path.
âFor example, the Interloper, Dao XinâŠâ
Xiao Wanfengâs eyes were burning with determination, âTherefore, the success of the Eighth Sword Deity is only a matter of time!â
Xu Xiaoshou raised his eyebrows in disbelief, âIs this your judgment, or⊠?â
âUh.â
Xiao Wanfeng regained his composure and timidly said, âIn the end, it was my judgment. But the pertinent words were said by Master Siren.â
Xu Xiaoshou almost jumped up and gave this kid a violent blow.
Just say it!
Why are you giving a concluding speech?
With your current achievements, how can you talk about the Eighth Sword Deity?
Just translate Master Sirenâs original words. Seriously, youâre overdoing it!
Xu Xiaoshou glared at him in anger and thought for a moment, but he didnât show any impatience. Instead, he said, âThen continuing based on what you said. If the Eighth Sword Deity started Sealing the Sword a few decades ago, how long would it take for him to become a Saint now?â
âIt can take from a few months to two to three years.â
Xiao Wanfengâs interest was piqued, and he continued to add with joy, âIf you ask me, if the Eighth Sword Deity started to Seal the Sword a few decades ago, then the fact that his was defeated by the Sword Deity Hua wasnât an accident at all but a strategy!â
âOh?â Xu Xiaoshou was just casually asking, but he did not expect Xiao Wanfeng to actually come up with a surprising conclusion. He knocked on the table with his fingers, âContinue.â
âThink about itâŠâ
Xiao Wanfeng moved his hands and said with assurance, âIf you really want to Seal the Sword, and it takes decades to do so, what better way to Seal the Sword than to become a dead person?â
âIf you die, no one in the world will pursue your past.â
âAnd during this period of time when you are a dead person, as long as you live in seclusion and donât leave the mountain, when you Seal the Sword until you are old and your realm is gone, once you strike the sword and enter the Saint Realm, everyone in the world will know.â
âThis is a true legend!â
Xiao Wanfeng was very satisfied with his imagination and his heart was surging, as if he had seen through all the intentions of the Eighth Sword Deity, and he had successfully become the Eighth Sword Deity after completing the Saint Ascension.
Opposite him, Xu Xiaoshou was slightly stunned by the thoughts of this avid adolescent .
This guyâŠ
Good guy!
You do have something!
âContinue.â
Xu Xiaoshou was deep in his thoughts as he counted on his fingers. He was the only one who did not find Xiao Wanfengâs words ridiculous and even somewhat approved of it.
After all, if it were him, he might have done the same.
A dead person was such a good identity!
âUnfortunately, I donât think soâŠâhowever, Xiao Wanfeng changed the topic and directly denied his own thoughts, âActually, many people will have this idea, but it doesnât make sense at all.â
âWhy?âXu Xiaoshou didnât understand.
âItâs very obvious!â
Xiao Wanfeng outstretched his hands and said with envision, âWho would dare to be a Bazhunâan? Who would dare to be a Qingju (sword)? How could someone with such boldness and recklessness, planning to use death to maintain the stability of during Seal the Sword. The Eighth Sword Deity disdained such a method!â
Xu Xiaoshou:ââŠâ
He did not expect such an answer.
âBut what if he really thinks and does this just like you said?â Xu Xiaoshou asked.
âHe wonât.âXiao Wanfeng had a look of certainty on his face. He didnât believe that the Eighth Sword Deity was that kind of person.
Xu Xiaoshou thought of the Eighth Sword Deity that he knew.
That was a person who was a little different from legends and myths.
Admittedly, there were still people who acted recklessly.
But there were also a lot of despicable and dirty tricks!
For example, the whole process of forcing him to be âwhite slaveryâ and all the evil intents as well as the people around Bazhunâan..
People lied down with the dogs would rise up with fleas, the collusion and complicity, for some reason, when he thought of the storyteller, many words suddenly appeared in his mind.
âI donât think so.â
Xu Xiaoshou thought about it and said. When he saw Xiao Wanfengâs face full of disbelief, he asked again, âOkay, then do you think the Eighth Sword Deity drinks alcohol?â
âWhat kind of joke is this!â
Xiao Wanfeng instantly became like a rooster with its hair standing on end and his eyes widened,âYoung Master Xu, Iâm afraid you donât know that the Eighth Sword Deity raised the saying that all swordsmen in the world donât drink alcohol and that drinking will drunken swords!â
This time, Xu Xiaoshou shook his head and laughed.
Young man, you only know one thing about the Eighth Sword Deity, but you donât know the other!
All the alcohol that you swordsmen donât drink must have been consumed by him alone. He is such a despicable person!
