Yun Xiuxin’s last sentence was a lie. Although she won the first place in the competition, Sun Mingxiu was still the best among all first-generation disciples when it came to personal mystical Qi cultivation. The information he could detect was not necessarily what she could have.
Just then, Hu Xiaofan laughed mischievously and said, “Eldest Senior Sister, you have gunk in the corner of your eye.”
“I already knew it, and I don’t need you to remind me. Why do you have to make a mountain out of a molehill?”
Yun Xiuxin had become faintly accustomed to suggestions, so she answered subconsciously. But, she immediately came back to her senses. Instead of scolding Hu Xiaofan, she quickly wiped the corner of her eye with a hand, then took out a small mirror and took a careful look, even though they were still traveling at high speed. After she was done, she flew into a rage and snapped, “Hu Xiaofan, is your skin itchy again and needs a spanking?”
Hu Xiaofan put on an innocent face and said, “I really saw it just now, but you wiped it away. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Lu Changman.”
Before his voice had died away, a fierce and warning gaze fell on Lu Changman’s face. As if he could not see the warning look, Lu Changman answered honestly, “I didn’t see it. Hu Xiaofan lied to you.”
Hu Xiaofan roared, “How dare you betray me! Is your skin itchy?”
Yun Xiuxin, too, roared, “Hu Xiaofan, how dare you lie to me! I think you are the one with the itchy skin!”
Sun Mingxiu frowned and his face was twisted. He was going to explain some basic knowledge and experience about the martial world to his fellow disciples, but these fellas were obviously too nervous and excited to listen.
Bai Yexing, standing next to him, smiled and said, “Junior Brother Sun, if others tell them these things, they would only get a general idea at most. When they have not experienced it personally, it’s hard for them to truly understand it. We just need to take care of them more. I don’t think you need to be so eager to teach them and hope they can become like us. Most of the time, haste makes waste.”
Sun Mingxiu felt deeply ashamed. “Yes, you have a point there.”
Lin Xiaorou followed Bai Yexing closely, her little face full of happiness and admiration.
“Senior Brother Bai, are we experiencing the martial world now?”
“Kind of, but not truly. When we do not follow Master and Uncle-Masters but go out to carry out missions on our own, or travel ourselves, only then we would truly be experiencing the martial world.”
Bai Yexing explained seriously, “We are just going out to broaden our knowledge right now.”
Lin Xiaorou nodded repeatedly and said, “Senior Brother Bai, when we are truly experiencing the martial world, can I walk behind you?”
Bai Yexing said dotingly, “Alright, it’s a deal.”
A warm and gentle smile bloomed across Lin Xiaorou’s little face.
Yun Xiuxin curled her lips and muttered, “Hmph! At such a young age, all she cares about is love. She will corrupt the other disciples. Hu Xiaofan, go and give Bai Yexing a good beating.”
“What?” Hu Xiaofan’s face turned bitter. “I am not his match, so you might as well do it yourself…”
Cheng Jiajia pursed her lips and said in a low voice, “What’s so good about Bai Yexing…He’s a far cry from Master…”
Yun Xiuxin’s eyes narrowed slightly as she bared her little teeth and said, “Jiajia, your thoughts are very dangerous.”
Cheng Jiajia’s cheek turned red. “What are you thinking? Master is handsome, with a natural and unrestrained temperament. Everything he says and does is free from vulgarity, just like a god in the clouds. Do you think Master’s demeanor is not good?”
Yun Xiuxin snorted and said, “Good, Master is definitely good. When did I say Master is not good?” She rolled her eyes and then suddenly thought, ‘Was it wrong that I had been protecting Cheng Jiajia before? How could she have such a perverse idea? She is simply…hmph! Master is certainly handsome, natural, unrestrained, and charming, but…are these words what you should say?’
Yun Yang and the others took the lead in the front, and their speed was not very fast. After all, Yun Yang had not been in Bound of Universe long, and he did not know much about its landscape compared to Sun Mingxiu and the other juniors. Therefore, Shi Wuchen and others took this opportunity to introduce him to the scenery and landscape along the way.
Whenever they passed by a place that Yun Yang thought had some value, he would imprint the landscape in his mind. By doing so, if he passed the place again, he would be able to recall it clearly. It was a habit he had formed for a long time.
As a result, although they passed many places along the way, they were all remembered by him.
“We’ve traveled over four thousand miles now. Based on our speed, we can reach our destination in three days at most.” In the evening, Shi Wuchen looked at the map and calculated the distance as he gave an answer with certainty.
“Not far ahead is the base of the Illusory Sword Sect. It is ranked seventh among the top ten sects with lower-class Celestial Luck Banners, a somewhat powerful sect.”
Luo Dajiang laughed, but there was no smile in his eyes.
Ren Qingkuang and Lan Ruojun’s eyes also grew cold. “Back in those days, we suffered a lot from this Illusory Sword Sect…”
“It is nothing but a buffoon. Why should we pay any attention to it now?”
Yun Yang smiled and said, “When we defeat them in the battle of the banner, or defeat the opponents who defeated them, that will be the greatest punishment for them. At that time, when you look at their faces, you will certainly feel very happy and amused. We don’t need to rush to take revenge now.”
…
Life was never as one expected.
The Residence of Nine Supremes did not want to get into trouble with the Illusory Sword Sect, but those from the Illusory Sword Sect refused to let them go.
Early the next morning, when Yun Yang’s group had just traveled about a few dozen miles, a sword suddenly whistled into the sky not far in front of them and then burst into a million rays of light. Then, a voice said, “Are the friends in front from Residence of Nine Supremes?”
Shi Wuchen shouted back, “What does it matter to you?”
The voice said coldly, “I am from the Illusory Sword Sect. My Uncle-Master, the Sect Leader, has already gone to Mount Penta-Tier and is not here, but I still dare not disobey the rules. Initially, I thought you knew we are here and have detoured, because you never appeared…”
He gave a cold laugh and said, “I didn’t expect you to really not have passed this area yet. You guys are so relaxed…Are you planning on taking advantage of the time when all the elite forces of the sects along the way have gone to the battle of the banner, so that you can get to your destination before the deadline? Unfortunately, I have destroyed your wishful thinking now! Well, I won’t say much nonsense. Since you want to pass through, you should know the rules… You must pay for the way!
“You must not think that I am bullying you, because you, the Residence of Nine Supremes, do not have that qualification yet!”
Shi Wuchen sneered, “When did Illusory Sword Sect become a road robber who asks money from the travelers? Why have I never heard of it before?”
The man replied coldly, “You have heard it now.”
He whistled and then shouted, “Brothers, come out and meet the great figures who can go to Mount Penta-Tier to fight for the Celestial Luck Banner! Let’s see if we can stop them with our cultivation base!”
Before his voice had died away, the sound of footsteps had begun to echo out. One by one, men clad in blue clothes walked out of the woods with cold faces. One of the young men folded his arms over his chest as he laughed scornfully and said, “I have long heard of a new sect called Residence of Nine Supremes. Well, the name is quite cool. Haha, I thought you would be a group of splendid men, but I realize now that you are just a bunch of whetstones gathered together to brag with one another!”
“Residence of Nine Supremes? Haha! I think you should change the name to Residence of Fools, that’ll suit you better! Hahaha! This is so funny!” Another man mocked.
