Three days passed in a flash.
The painted boat followed the waves along the river and arrived at the destination. As promised, Zhao Wuxie found four sword cultivators in the fusion stage who were familiar with the sword, including two sword cultivators from the Hundred Swords Sect.
The two were very interested in the leader of the Tianjian Sect who defeated the sword villain Dugu, and came happily to experience the immortal sword intent. If possible, they would win a small victory to restore the reputation of their own sect.
Baijianmen is Baijianmen, not some Xuanlong Tianjian Sect. Other sword-cultivating sects think that 'XXOO Tianjian Sect' is a compliment, but the sword cultivators of Baijianmen do not agree. They only want to be themselves and not second.
Coincidentally, Lu Bei was also very interested in Baijian Sect, a sect of sword cultivators known for its "thousands of sword techniques and hundreds of sword intentions". With the Blood Nest skill, he felt like he had entered an experience room.
In fact, it is not.
The sword-fighting competition was limited to exchange of ideas and was not a life-and-death battle. Both sides fought in harmony.
In addition, given the national conditions of Xuanlong, the four sword cultivators did not want to get hurt during the competition. When they saw that they were no match for Lu Bei, they decisively surrendered, resulting in him not even getting a chance to bleed, let alone get any free skills.
Very upsetting.
The four sword cultivators were also very upset. Where was the immortal sword intent? What was going on with the rustling golden light? If they had told them earlier that the leader of the Tianjian Sect had a fast sword, they would not have come.
Even without the Immortal Sword Intent, there was still the Nine Swords Intent. Mu Lichen and the other two took the lead, each holding a Nine Swords and practicing sword intent with the four sword cultivators. Both sides benefited greatly.
Fencing competition relies on comprehension, not swinging swords to see who has more blood. Lu Bei has nothing but talent, so he can only stand aside and stare.
There is no point in being anxious. The national conditions of Xuanlong have made the local cultivators extremely stable. They will never hurt the harmony if they can. Even if they are competing for a dual cultivation partner, they will go to the front line to earn military merits and see who can kill more monsters.
Three days and three days passed, and Zhao Wuxie introduced several sword cultivators to Lu Bei. All of them were mediocre swordsmen above the Void Refinement Realm. They made Lu Bei lose interest in fighting, and he would just use a flash+jump and chop to finish the fight.
And because it was a sparring match, I couldn't even gain any defeat experience.
Mu Lichen and the other two gained a lot. They had good aptitude in swordsmanship and made a living by their comprehension. They gained something in every battle. They felt that the sect master had a long-term vision and that the trip was worthwhile.
Lu Bei was dejected, and Zhao Wuxie was unhappy too. They had agreed that they would lose every battle, but they didn't lose even once. As a result, he had accumulated a lot of white-haired sisters, but now they were all wasted.
The most unhappy person must be Zhao Wuyou. Ever since that night, she has been thinking about going to the front line and never meeting Lu Bei again.
Unfortunately, Zhao Wuyou's words did not count. Sect Leader Lu called her out every day to work, and after dancing he would ask her to drink. He did not say a word, did not touch her hands, but just smiled at her, making her wish she could find a hole to crawl into.
There must be something wrong with this person!
…
"There's definitely something wrong with you."
While his old father was out fishing, Lu Bei quietly slipped into Zhan Hongqu's room. When the latter learned that Lu Bei was just looking for fun and not really liking to watch the beauty dance, his gloomy face turned bright and he started to punch his chest with his little fists.
Zhan Hongqu leaned on Lu Bei's shoulder and complained happily, "Sister Zhao is such a delicate beauty, and her family background is so miserable, and you actually took advantage of her to have fun, do you still have a conscience?"
Of course there is, it depends on the situation whether to use it or not.
Lu Bei came up with the correct answer in his mind, turned the steering wheel, and drove directly onto the highway: "Senior Sister Zhan, you know me, my conscience is not with me, it was taken away by you, otherwise how could you have two..."
Halfway through his words, Zhan Hongqu covered his mouth with his hands while blushing, and warned him not to talk nonsense.
"Okay, let's listen to you and talk about something serious."
Lu Bei raised his delicate little chin and looked at Zhan Hongqu lovingly. After the latter blushed and her heart beat fast, he slowly spoke: "Don't call me sister casually. I can call her Sister Zhao, but you may not call her Senior Sister Zhan. Maybe she is not even as old as you!"
Cut the red song:…
She was as cold as ice for a second, and punched Lu Bei's chest hard with her small fist. The love of a high-level cultivator was heavy, and every punch and kick had great power, which ordinary people could not bear at all.
Lu Bei possessed superb martial arts and had mastered the art of grappling, so he could not bear this injustice and pinned Zhan Hongqu down in a snap.
The straight man then retaliated in the same way, punching his chest with his little fists, and would not tolerate any grievance at all.
The top scumbag came to collect the debt at this time, and he insisted on taking back his conscience. He was afraid of taking the wrong one, so he considered and compared for a long time.
In broad daylight, Zhan Hongqu didn't expect Lu Bei to be so bold. He didn't bother to be affectionate with him. He quickly pulled his hand out and with a snap, he set up a sword talisman barrier.
The barrier is indispensable. If the old father finds out, the sect leader will be so angry that he will kneel before the elder and beg him not to die.
The 150+cm tall kendo girl was clumsy in her work and suffered from her lack of experience. She was far less mature and steady than Mu Lichen, so this barrier only blocked perception but had no shock-absorbing effect.
Fortunately, it was useless. Lu Bei didn't plan to take any real action. He tried twice, and then tried a few more times, but couldn't get back his lost conscience, so he gave up in disappointment.
He lifted Zhan Hongqu's chin, tapped her red lips, and said with a wicked smile, "Sister, you have been so cold and silent these past few days. Are you sulking because Junior Brother is flirting with other girls?"
"You did it on purpose. You are so mean."
"I'm so bad, do you like it, Senior Sister?"
"… "
"Talk, do you like it?"
"Um."
…
"What? Brother Zhao had a temporary mission and returned to the front line."
Lu Bei looked at Zhao Wuyou in surprise and subconsciously said, "What mission is it? Is it big or small? Do you need my help? As the saying goes, if you see injustice, you will draw your sword to help. If you have something to say, just tell me. I will never refuse to help you."
Zhao Wuyou didn't have the face to face Lu Bei, so he turned to look to the side and replied, "Brother Shi didn't mention it. Seeing him leave in a hurry, I think it should be related to the demon race..."
The battle line in the northern border of Xuanlong is long, with a small battle every three days and a big battle every five days. From the founding of the country to the present, there has not been a single month of peace.
Zhao Wuyou was used to this and politely declined Lu Bei's kindness. Xuanlong was a big country in the northern border, and even though the war was tense, they would not be so rude as to send guests to the battlefield.
You Xuanlong people are just too shameless!
Lu Bei secretly thought it was a pity. If it was him who was in charge of the Tianjian Sect, he would not care whether the enemy was a guest or not. If a strong enemy dared to come, he would call his friends and attack together with them.
Unity is strength. As righteous and generous people, how can we forget the basic principles of life
Lu Bei tried to persuade him again, but Zhao Wuyou still refused. She just said that she would be his guide for the next few days, responsible for eating, drinking, dancing, and accompanying Lu Bei to travel around the mountains and rivers and experience the local customs and culture of Xuanlong.
Considering the heavy responsibility Zhao Wuyou shoulders, this sentence must have a deep meaning, but Lu Bei has no interest in this regard. He only knows that Zhao Wuxie cannot leave the front line in a short time.
Good thing, Big White Hair is meticulous and shameless, and is a formidable enemy that Lu Bei has to go all out to deal with. Without him, Lu Bei can let go and focus on upgrading his Immortal Sword Intent.
Bang!
There was no one around, so Lu Bei raised his hand and pushed the little white-haired boy against the wall, blocking him.
Zhao Wuyou held his breath, not daring to breathe. He could not resist Lu Bei's fiery gaze, and lowered his head with a red face and guilty conscience.
Weak, helpless and pitiful, he will even act crazy when he drinks too much.
"Sister Zhao, I have been in Xuanlong for quite some time and I am tired of floating on the river all day. So before Brother Zhao comes back, we will not play in the water. It is boring. Let's go to the mountains."
"Xuanlong is a vast land with rich resources, countless famous mountains and scenic spots. Does Sect Master Lu have any place he likes to go?" Zhao Wuyou stuttered.
“There really is one.”
Lu Bei slowly lowered his head and whispered in Zhao Wuyou's ear: "Dengzhou Qianren Mountain is a place where swords are born. This sect master has also heard of it in Wu Zhou. Please lead the way."
Thousand Blade Mountain…
Isn’t that the hill where Baijianmen is located
Zhao Wuyou was suspicious. She only coveted Lu Bei's body, unlike Zhan Hongqu who coveted Lu Bei's heart. Therefore, her IQ did not drop. She frowned and raised her head: "Sect Master Lu, Baijianmen does not have any sword cultivator with high sword intent at the moment. If we go, we will return empty-handed. How about changing someone?"
"No, this is it. Qianren Mountain is one of the destinations of this trip. We have to go even if we return empty-handed." Lu Bei insisted.
"But… "
"There's nothing to worry about."
Lu Bei suddenly lowered his head, and Zhao Wuyou subconsciously leaned back, but the back of his head hit the wall with nowhere to hide. Unable to bear the murderous gaze, he lowered his head again.
The familiar feeling is back!
Lu Bei was secretly proud, and whispered in Zhao Wuyou's ear: "You were drunk that night, and you said everything you could and couldn't say in front of this Sect Master..."
"Master Lu, don't take drunken talk seriously."
Zhao Wuyou tried to argue, but Lu Bei smiled and continued, "I know what you want to do. I appreciate your filial piety, so I will help you with this little favor. Take me to Qianren Mountain, and after the matter is done, I will let you get what you want. How about that?"
Not a big deal!
Zhao Wuyou shook her head repeatedly. The mission was the mission, but Lu Bei insisted on going to Qianren Mountain. It was obvious that he had ulterior motives. She couldn't obey his order as it was a matter of principle.
"Sister Zhao, think about it again. You should know that even if you don't lead the way, this sect master can find Qianren Mountain by himself."
Lu Bei blew a breath and kindly thought for her: "You follow by his side. If the sect leader wants to do something harmful, you can stop him in time. Isn't that right?"
Zhao Wuyou: “…”
That's the truth, as if she could really stop it.
"It doesn't matter if you can't stop it. If you spread the news, someone will come to stop it. But if you don't follow, then..."
Lu Bei sighed, "There was not even anyone to pass on the news. Qianren Mountain was razed to the ground overnight. It's pitiful just to think about it."
"Master Lu, there is no need to defile yourself. Brother Shi said that you are not an evil person. You are greedy for small profits but you will not kill innocent people."
"Brother Zhao is really good at judging people, then..."
"I will lead the way for Sect Master Lu, and we will reach Dengzhou Qianren Mountain tonight. After the mission is accomplished, Sect Master Lu must help me... Don't regret it." Zhao Wuyou looked at Lu Bei steadily, his beautiful eyes full of determination, and he did not flinch even when facing the murderous gaze.
"Of course, this sect master is the most trustworthy. Go to Wu Zhou and ask who dares to say that this sect master does not keep his word."
"You sign a document."
"What?"
Lu Bei was confused and stood there in a daze.
Zhao Wuyou waved his hand and took out a pen and paper, and said solemnly: "It's written in black and white, there's no need to go back on your word. If you break your promise, I will chase you to Wu Zhou to get it back."
"… "
