Chapter 231 - 231 Big Brother-In-Law?
231 Big Brother-In-Law?
“The younger generation will be formidable…”
Jiang Po looked at the ‘shattered’ pieces of the Palace Spirit’s remains on the ground and could not help stroking his beard. A rare look of seriousness appeared on his face, but in the next moment, he returned to his cheeky old Imp look and sighed. “Oh my, that’s amazing, but now that it’s broken like this… How are you going to study it”
The people around them were still in shock. When they heard the question, they were stunned. That’s right, they had agreed to let the disciples of the Baishan Court take it back for research. Now that it was already in pieces, how could they study it?
In this case, had Jiang Feng overreached himself?
Ji Yushu shook his head at the side, understanding that his master was acting dumb. He pointed to the junior brothers and sisters of Misty Rain House. “Look, the parts on the ground look like they’re broken, but only the joints are broken. His sword is too powerful, from top to bottom, it was split in half, but in reality, it didn’t hurt the puppet at all. Not only is it powerful, but the details are also exquisite to the extreme. It’s enough to make one’s hair stand on end.”
Then, he looked at the young man who was standing in the air and looking down at everyone. He sighed and said, “Jiang Feng will definitely have a place in the next update of the Divine Heroes List.”
And it was very likely that he would enter the top ten of the Earth List.
Taking into account the fact that only cultivators under the age of 20 could participate in the Singing Sword Ranking, Jiang Feng was simply terrifying!
Ji Yushu could be considered to have an outstanding talent for being able to enter the top 50 of the Earth List at such a young age. But now that he saw Jiang Feng, he realized that the evaluation that the Green Centipede had given him was not false, and was even a little lacking.
In fact, anyone with a discerning eye could tell how special he was by the elegant name of his sword move, the Sound of the Angry Tide of Jiang Sea. It was somewhat similar to Green Lotus Swordsman’s Thousand Lotus Twisting Dragon, Splitting Cloud Waterfall. However, many people felt that the Green Centipede was just a big gimmick.
After all, Jiang Feng’s name had only officially appeared in the public’s eyes for about a month or so, and there were no other achievements that could indirectly reveal this person’s strength. Therefore, the evaluation of Jiang Feng’s strength had always been in a rather superficial state.
However, after today, there would be no more doubts.
There’s always someone better than you… With just this sword move, it would be a waste for him to rank second on the Singing Sword Ranking!
The others felt the same way.
Another genius of Ling Hua’s caliber had appeared in the Central Plains.
“Whew…”
Liu Yuan let out a long breath. He looked at the longsword in his hand and the pile of remains on the ground. An indescribable sense of confidence filled his heart. He felt that this sword attack was probably the peak of what he could achieve at the moment. With one sword attack, his magic reserves was almost empty, but he could still easily instakill someone of the same level.
Most importantly, it was not a skill, but a move that Liu Yuan had truly comprehended.
… Although he was an archer, there seemed to be something wrong with the direction of his Enlightenment.
However, there was no doubt that this belonged to Liu Yuan. Although his strength was much higher due to the card bonuses, he was more willing to act as a Core Formation stage cultivator most of the time.
But at this moment, Cen Shanzi’s voice suddenly sounded, “Fellow Daoist Jiang Feng, could you please explain why you know the True Body Movement Technique of our Taiqing Pavilion — So Close Yet Worlds Apart?”
All of a sudden, everyone turned to look at the young man in the Daoist robe who was looking at Liu Yuan angrily.
Cen Shanzi was a successor disciple of the Taiqing Pavilion. Everyone present knew him, but because he had always been ordinary, they did not have a deep impression of him. He wore a clean yellow Daoist robe and a black crown wooden hairpin on his head. He was thin and elegant. From his appearance, he had the style of an Orthodox Daoist.
At this moment, his expression was filled with anger and doubt, causing everyone to recall the astonishing speed at which Liu Yuan had disappeared and reappeared.
“So that move was So Close Yet Worlds Apart?!
“No wonder… But how is this guy so familiar with the Taiqing Pavilion’s True Body Movement Technique?”
“What else could it be? Isn’t it rumored that he’s the lover of the Green Lotus Swordsman? She left seclusion early and rode a flying sword for ten thousand miles, all for him.”
The expressions on everyone’s faces immediately became subtle-this was a case of a man living off women.
“Ha?” Liu Yuan was taken aback, then squinted his eyes to carefully look at Cen Shanzi’s expression. He suddenly understood.
Ohoho…
Although he seemed to be righteous, his little action of sneaking a glance at Ling Hua’s reaction exposed his true nature.
“Why should I explain it to you?” Liu Yuan asked with great interest.
Cen Shanzi had anticipated many of Liu Yuan’s reactions and answers. There would be shock, panic, solemnity, and sophistry, but most of them were with a guilty conscience.
He did not expect the other party to be so confident and fearless.
Moreover, the meaning of his rhetorical question seemed to be that it was not that he could not explain, but that he, Cen Shanzi, was not qualified to hear his explanation!
Arrogant! He was too arrogant!
“Then you won’t deny that you used So Close Yet Worlds Apart, right?”
Cen Shanzi’s anger, which had been suppressed with great difficulty, suddenly reappeared. His eyes were filled with some indignation as he gritted his teeth and said, “Just because I’m a true disciple of the Taiqing Pavilion, I have the duty to protect the sect’s cultivation method from being leaked to the outside world. What the Green Lotus Swordsman has done has already broken the sect’s rules. Even if she’s the Swordsman and the Pavilion Master’s sister, she can’t just give away the legacy cultivation method to an outsider!”
“If you’re a man, you shouldn’t let her bear the responsibility!” He raised his voice.
Liu Yuan interrupted the man’s impassioned speech and said, “Who told you that the Green Lotus Swordsman was the one who taught me So Close Yet Worlds Apart?”
Cen Shanzi was stunned, thinking that he was trying to quibble in a panic. He sneered, “Don’t tell me that the Pavilion Master taught it to you?”
Before he finished, Liu Yuan’s ‘how did you know’ surprised expression made him hesitate for the last few words.
“Although he’s not my brother-in-law, but Master Jiuhua should be the 16th Pavilion Master of the Taiqing Pavilion,” Liu Yuan said.
Everyone was stunned and looked at each other.
Master Jiuhua… He was indeed the Pavilion Master of the Taiqing Pavilion. After he abdicated, he went traveling around the world. It was also said that he once taught in the Baishan Court for a period of time, so everything made sense.
And compared to the Green Lotus Swordsman’s private teaching, this was more reasonable.
Cen Shanzi was furious, “Empty words! You have no proof…”
Of course, he was angry mostly because Liu Yuan had casually called the Pavilion Master ‘Brother-in-law’. This was naturally deliberately said by Liu Yuan to anger him.
Liu Yuan sneered. “Aren’t you just speaking without any proof? Furthermore, you are shallow and have a contemptuous heart.”
“You!”
“You’re right. I really shouldn’t have let the Swordsman bear the blame, because she didn’t do anything wrong in the first place. I have to clarify this for her.”
“I’m…!”
“As for you, you’re the one who forced the blame on her. As a disciple of the Taiqing Pavilion, you don’t believe in the character of the Green Lotus Swordsman and keep slandering her. I think you’re the real traitor.”
Cen Shanzi’s face darkened, and he was speechless. His expression changed several times, and in the end, he was actually a little ashamed.
The surroundings fell into another kind of silence. They really did not expect that not only was Jiang Feng’s swordsmanship superb, but his personality was also so strong.
“Brother-in-law?” A calm voice suddenly came, “So, the rumor between the green Lotus Swordsman and Daoist Jiang Feng is true?”
Liu Yuan looked over.
It was Ling Hua.
“…”
He seemed to have accidentally said something strange in public just now.
Cen Shanzi probably did not know that he had somehow, unintentionally, achieved his goal.
