“No more fighting?”
After Qing Yu had dodged Yuan Jian Yi’s sword finger, he saw that Yuan Jian Yi had already withdrawn his hand.
“You’re not really a swordsman,” Yuan Jian Yi’s face rippled for the first time, looking at Qing Yu with a puzzled expression, as if he was puzzled by Gongye Bai Forging to an unqualified swordsman.
”Not a qualified swordsman really sorry ah!”
The corners of Qing Yu’s eyes twitched slightly, and he swore in his heart, ‘In this world, how many of them are true swordsmen, people who can put their own life and death on their swords are very rare no.’
“So you’re not going to fight?” Qing Yu said.
“This fight, it’s you who won.” Yuan Jian Yi looked down at the iron sword with its twisted tip, the sword had been destroyed and it was pointless to recast it, after all it was just an iron sword. If one were to treat it special, it would instead lose its casual beginnings.
“Since we’re not fighting anymore, I’ll leave.”
Qing Yu did not feel any surprise at Yuan Jian Yi’s admission of defeat. In the end, it was just that Yuan Jian Yi did not want to fight anymore, his strength, which had not yet been fully brought into play.
Of course, if he were to bring his full strength into play, Qing Yu did not think he would lose either. But what was the point of winning or losing like that? If it was for some false fame, Qing Yu would not have melted down the Tai Ming Sword. What fame is there in holding the Tai Ming Sword and dangling it in front of the eyes of those who know how to use it.
As for taking out Yuan Jian Yi who had started the fight without permission, Qing Yu didn’t even give it a second thought. How retarded did one have to be to set up such a strong enemy as the Sword Dao Palace for no reason, and with this time, one might as well find a place to catch up on sleep first.
“You, what’s your name?” Yuan Jian Yi suddenly asked.
A name? I don’t think I’ve taken one yet.
After leaving Gongye Baiwu’s place, Qing Yu took off his bronze mask and reverted back to the face of the ordinary youth he had casually pinched earlier. The face that he had casually made up to hide his face from others, Qing Yu naturally did not bother to name it.
But now, it was this face that needed a name.
But now it was a bit too late to think of a name, so Qing Yu decided to borrow the name of a famous person.
“Zhao Yun, the Zhao of Yan Zhao, the cloud of wind and clouds.” Qing Yu said to Yuan Jian Yi with a kind smile on his face.
It was a pity that this face was too ordinary and did not go well with this handsome name.
Yuan Jian Yi, however, was unaware of the dao of this name, and he still maintained this ancient well of countenance as he said indifferently, “It’s a pleasure to meet you.”
If he hadn’t known his hinged feelings, he would have taken him as a provocation.
“Zhao Yun, in a month’s time, at the Cui Ge River in Hongzhou, I will wait for you there.”
This was said in a somewhat clueless manner, and Yuan Jian Yi, who should have sensed it, picked up on it, “There will be many young talents arriving at that time to compete for a great opportunity together, and believe me, you will be interested.”
Although Yuan Jianyi was not very sociable, he had practised the Sword Dao Palace’s Harmony with the Heart with the Sword very well, which enabled him to see things very thoroughly. The exchange of blows he had just had had had shown him Qing Yu’s disposition to be profitless. Thus, he gave a reason that interested Qing Yu.
After saying that, Yuan Jian Yi had turned around and left.
”Big chance? ——” thought Qing Yu as he looked at Yuan Jian Yi’s back.
——————
Chen Qinglin walked quickly across the pathway, the strange looks from the brothers and teachers he encountered on the way always annoyed him.
It had been some time since he had returned to the True Martial Sect, and he had long recovered from the initial weakness caused by hunger.
Then, it was time to examine whether Chen Qinglin had colluded with Gong Zi Yu.
The True Martial Arts Sect is a famous sect and will not resort to soul searching techniques at the drop of a hat like Department Six and the Demon Sect, but there is no shortage of secret techniques to check your mind.
The “Art of Illumination of the Mind”, a technique performed by martial artists of the True Dan realm or above, can probe the mental fluctuations of the opponent without their consciousness of resistance, and learn about their mental activities.
It is not as convenient as the Soul Search Technique, which can violently search the memories in the mind, but it does not have the after-effects of making a person turn into an idiot or brain dead like the Soul Search Technique.
Moreover, it can also probe whether a person is under the control of a secret technique in the mind.
Chen Qinglin had not colluded with Gong Zi Yu, so he did not need to lie about that, nor was he under the control of a spiritual secret technique. Xuanzheng, who had used the “Art of Illuminating the Heart” to probe his mind, had also given him the innocence he deserved.
However, there was another matter that Chen Qinglin could not conceal, and that was the fact that he had no choice but to reveal the two Four Elephant Techniques under severe torture.
Chen Qinglin was unable to conceal the fact that he had leaked the jutsu, rendering Qing Yu’s control tactics ineffective before he could use them.
After this, it was Chen Qinglin’s master Xuan Ming who pleaded with him, and the traitor Xuan Guang, who was proficient in the Four Elephant Technique, was still at large.
Well, in fact, it was Xuan Ming’s promise to support Qingxu that was the main factor.
After the PY deal between Xuan Ming and Xuan Chen, Chen Qinglin’s leaking of the Four Elephant Jutsu was not known to anyone other than Xuan Chen, Xuan Zheng, Xuan Ming, and the person in question, Chen Qinglin. But Chen Qinglin had still been treated with strange looks by his master brothers.
After all, the two captives, one intact, just over-starved, and the other, who had not even found his bones up to now, how could this not be suspicious?
Not only the other disciples, but also Xuan Chen and the others had deep doubts about this point. What medicine was in Gong Zi Yu’s gourd is still a big question for the people of the True Martial Sect.
Chen Qinglin’s pace quickened as he ran away into his room.
As a much-loved disciple of Xuan Ming, Chen Qinglin had his own little courtyard, which usually made him the envy of many people, but now it was also a way for him to avoid the eyes of the others that were like a thorn in his back.
Upon entering his private space, Chen Qinglin yelled like he was venting, madly slamming tables, chairs, and cups.
“Why, why why why —— why are you all treating me like this ——” Chen Qinglin hissed.
The many days of dark captivity in the cave and the near starvation had long made Chen Qinglin close to madness. Now that he was subjected to such cold violence again, it made Chen Qinglin’s heart go completely crazy.
After shredding the quilt, Chen Qinglin, who had run out of things to destroy, gasped for breath and sat down on the ground.
“Hahahaha ——”
Suddenly, Chen Qinglin let out a wild laugh, “Since you suspect me of colluding with the Green Dragon Society, then I will collude with you. Qingxu, it’s all your fault, just wait, I will make you fall under Gongzi Yu and die without a body!!!”
Qing Yu had expected one more thing wrong, without the need for control means, Chen Qinglin would lean on Gong Zi Yu of his own accord.
As for whether Chen Qinglin would turn his target to another culprit, Gong Zi Yu, after making Qing Xu pay the price, that would wait until after dealing with Qing Xu.
