Grandpa, times have changed.

Chapter 584 Because I'm beautiful!

"Why would Lady Yueying...?" Li Ke asked curiously.

She had been a disciple of her master for many years, but she had rarely seen Yueying in human form.

"Just came out for a walk and spent some time with Yue Ling."

That's what she said, but her so-called "coming out for a walk" was nothing more than watching Yue Ling play games for a few days.

And this time!
Chi Jiuyu was still trying to reassure his natal sword.

She knew that her natal sword had always admired Moonshadow.

She had previously used this as an excuse to arrange a lot of 'training' for her natal sword...

hiss~!

Recalling everything that happened in the Moon Shadow Secret Realm in Xuanjian City, she felt a chill run down her spine.

We absolutely must not let her out!

Immediately, Chi Jiuyu responded in his mind:
"Letting you out like this is a bit too sudden, isn't it? I need to come up with a reason first, and then ask for Yueying's opinion, right?"

Upon hearing this, the cyan-gold longsword immediately became obedient.

'it is good. '

It's been so long and it's still like this. They're so easy to convince when it comes to Moonshadow. She can even write mission reports so perfectly. Her intelligence is only slightly less than that of her master, a highly intelligent sword spirit...

Chi Jiuyu muttered to herself, glancing at Yue Ling who was playing a game to the side.

Just then, the dazzling display on the screen stopped abruptly, leaving only a large character for "victory".

"call!"

Yue Ling let out a long breath and leaned back.

Then he turned around and looked Chi Jiuyu up and down.

"you are back!"

"..."

I'm already standing right here!

Chi Jiuyu muttered to herself, then took out a brand new box from her storage ring and handed it over.

"Here you go! This is what I promised you, the limited edition collaboration controller for 'The Return of the Supreme Being'."

As a result, he didn't use the name "Immortal Sword" in his business dealings at the Supreme Dao Sect; instead, his own name was more useful!
Hey~
I underestimated the true value of being called the "Number One Prodigy of All Realms".

Yue Ling's eyes lit up, and she quickly reached out to take it.

"thank you!"

"We're practically family," Chi Jiuyu waved her hand magnanimously. "Just support me when I run for sect leader!"

"Uh-huh!"

Yue Ling happily unpacked the package, nodding repeatedly.

Li Ke: "..."

This dead fisherman is even bribing people here!
wrong!

Didn't she say she only prepared four gifts?!

"By the way, why aren't you playing games with Master? Why are you here with your Uncle?"

"Because Lord Meizu came. The master said I didn't look like a character from 'Chinese Paladin,' so he told me to go find somewhere to play by myself."

Chi Jiuyu's cave dwelling was renovated, and those things were packed up and taken away by her when she was drunk last time.

Besides, she herself isn't there, so there's nothing fun to do there.

"So you came here to your martial uncle's place?"

"Yes!"

Once they started playing, they couldn't go back...

The equipment here, Sword Ancestor, is exceptionally good.

"You really are..."

As soon as Chi Jiuyu uttered two words, the spiritual voice of the cyan-gold longsword rang in his mind once again.

Although still very excited, all she could ask Chi Jiuyu was when she could come out to see Yueying…

This made Chi Jiuyu a little embarrassed to continue fooling her.

After all, his natal sword was obedient, cooked for him, and even helped him write mission reports...

never mind!

Die or die!

"Moonshadow... My lord, my natal sword wishes to see you, please..."

Upon hearing this, Li Ke looked at Chi Jiuyu in disbelief.

This rebellious fisherman, how could he address others like that?
Yue Ling also suddenly raised her head, staring blankly at Chi Jiuyu, feeling extremely sad.

You haven't even called me 'Lord Yue Ling' yet!

Yueying remained calm: "Let her come out."

call out!
As soon as he finished speaking, a bluish-gold light shot out from between Chi Jiuyu's eyebrows, transforming into an ancient bluish-gold longsword, which carefully hovered in mid-air.

"Moon! Lord Moonshadow!" A clear voice, tinged with a touch of childishness, rang out.

Perhaps it was the excitement of seeing his idol that made the sword tremble slightly.

"Yes, Not Bad."

When I first met her, she was only spiritually aware, without even a complete intelligence.

Now, it not only possesses complete intelligence, but it can even speak.

From the perspective of 'sword', this progress is already quite rapid.

Although Yueying remained expressionless when she said this, it still greatly excited the cyan-gold longsword.

"Yu Yu~ My Lord! It's training!" she said happily.

Lord Yu Yu?

Li Ke's eyes turned somewhat strange. The Dead Fisher's natal sword was also quite peculiar.

However, Chi Jiuyu no longer cares about these things, and her eyes are somewhat empty.

really!

As expected, there was no escaping it...

"Your previous training wasn't very effective," Yueying said calmly.

Finished!

However, the clear, childlike voice pulled Chi Jiuyu back to reality.

"It works!"

But then the cyan-gold longsword spoke firmly.

"Learning is great! Training is great too! I will do it! I will write reports!"

Ok? !

Chi Jiuyu's eyes regained their sparkle.

"..."

The moonlight paused, and its eternally indifferent expression now held a hint of a smile.

"As long as you like it."

Each Blade & Soul has a different personality; for example, she only likes to stay by her master's side, while Moonfeather likes to run around and play games.

She could tell that the little guy genuinely felt it was good to be able to help his sword master.

one……

A hardworking type of Blade & Soul?
That dead fisherman is really lucky.

Li Ke thought to herself, "This is ridiculous."

……

……

After about ten minutes.

Li Ke, Chi Jiuyu, and Yue Ling walked out of the Sword Ancestor's Hall.

"Then, Senior Sister, Yue Ling, I'll head back now!" Chi Jiuyu said with a strong voice.

Then he took off running and quickly headed down the mountain.

Watching Chi Jiuyu's retreating figure, Yue Ling hugged the controller, looking somewhat downcast.

"Actually, there's no need to worry too much about it," Li Ke advised. "That rebellious fisherman is only calling someone that because he needs something from them."

Yue Ling was taken aback: "Really?"

"Of course it's true. You'll know when she needs your help."

When someone asks for my help...

She blinked: "During the sect leader election?"

"I'm not too sure about that." Li Ke shrugged. "Anyway, don't worry about such a small thing. I'm leaving!"

Li Ke left after saying that. Yue Ling stood there for a while.

She wouldn't care this much about anyone else.

But Chi Jiuyu is different. As Bie Xuening's disciple, she is also Bie Xuening's natal sword.

That's why I feel down.

However, after hearing Li Ke's words, my depressed mood has improved quite a bit.

Ah!
That’s right!

Doesn't she want to become the sect leader?

Then wait until she can participate in the sect leader election and come to me for help; I will definitely say that then.

You won't even address me as 'Lord Yue Ling'!

……

……

In the blink of an eye, several days had passed.

At dawn, a wisp of cloud on the horizon dissipated in the light of day, and a cool morning breeze blew.

Sword Sect Outer Sect.

Xu Xing walked alone among the crowds, occasionally stopping to look to the side.

He walked and stopped here and there until he finally arrived at the location of the Dharma Transmission Building.

However, he did not enter, but stood on the edge of the cliff, gazing at the energetic figures in the distance.

The 'Immortal Sect Special Recruitment' has completed its third round.

Although there is still some time before the final assessment.

However, some candidates who intend to join the Sword Sect and have passed the three rounds of assessments will arrive at the Sword Sect in advance to familiarize themselves with the examination environment.

Soon, Xu Xing's gaze fell on an inconspicuous young man in the crowd.

Wearing a loose gray short-sleeved shirt and black trousers, he had an ordinary appearance, the kind of person who wouldn't attract any attention in a crowd.

Gu Wangjun.

One of the lucky ones who received a small gift from Xu Xing is the one who possesses the "ring-wearing grandpa" type of cheat ability.

That's right, he also came to the Sword Sect.

They're not here for the final round of assessments.

After all, he failed to pass the second round of competition among the major planetary systems because his foundation was too weak.

The reason I came to the Sword Sect.

One reason is because of Leng Rou's past...

More accurately, he left some resources in the Central Continent before going into seclusion, intending to use some of them to cultivate Gu Wangjun.

As a cultivator who has reached the peak of the Returning to Emptiness realm, even a small portion of it would be enough for Gu Wangjun, a minor cultivator in the Qi Refining stage, to meet his cultivation needs.

On the other hand, it was also to convey the news to a few fellow disciples with whom he had a good relationship, informing them that he had failed to advance to the Dao Integration stage.

I originally planned to collect the resources, send a notification, and then leave.

But Gu Wangjun felt that he had received the opportunity given by the Sword Ancestor, and since he had come to the Central Continent, he should at least come and visit the Sword Sect.

the most important is……

Come all come!

A very reasonable reason, plus Leng Rou actually wanted to visit the Sword Sect as well...

Who knows, we might even get to see the Sword Ancestor again?

So there was no rejection.

"None of them passed..." Xu Xing sighed softly.

Deng Xuan, who had obtained the "Fa Yan Wang Jie Tong Hui", failed to pass the second round of the "Five Heart Barriers" because she could not use the ability to determine good or bad fortune.

Having obtained the Blood Jade and swordsmanship, Jiang Ying passed the second round.

However, he still couldn't hold on during the third round of the all-star domain assessment.

"That's normal."

The special recruitment examination of the Immortal Sect is already quite difficult. Only those who have completed the three stages of cultivation of the Qi Refining Method and whose spiritual power has been completely transformed at the ninth level of Qi Refining have a greater chance of passing the final examination.

Not to mention that this year's 'Special Recruitment of Immortal Sects' is even more difficult than in previous years, changing from 'Three Tests of the Heart' to 'Five Tests of the Heart'.

These three have some advantages over the others, but they are still relatively new and lack experience.

After watching for a while, Xu Xing suddenly paused and looked away at another spot.

Among the first batch of ascended messengers, some have chosen to settle their missions.

Unsurprisingly.

This person is Chen Xuanqing, who comes from Lingyinfang and considers himself the protagonist.

……

……

"This is the Sword Sect..."

In the crowd, Gu Wangjun looked up at the lists that cascaded down from the inner continent of the Sword Sect, resembling rainbow waterfalls.

As his gaze swept over the names on the list, a hint of envy flashed in his eyes.

I wish my name could appear on that list someday.

"Alright, calm down. Save your daydreams for when you're sleeping. Just prop your pillow up a bit."

As always, Leng Rou was sharp-tongued, launching a direct and merciless attack.

Gu Wangjun didn't mind, he just smiled and lowered his head.

"It's just a thought, it's not illegal."

"With your talent for swordsmanship, I suggest you give up on it."

Leng Rou also secretly glanced at the several divine ranking lists hanging down, a strange look flashing in her eyes.

"Your chances of being listed on the 'Dao Ranking' of the Supreme Dao Sect are much higher than those of the seven major rankings of the Sword Sect."

Is his name listed on the "Taoist Register" of the Supreme Tao Sect?
"I didn't realize you thought so highly of me."

Leng Rou scoffed:
I mean relatively speaking.

She was one of those who achieved great things late in life, and was only ranked seventy-third out of eighty-one on the Return to Emptiness Dao Ranking.

"Can't you give me some encouragement?" Gu Wangjun asked.

The old man with the ring was too sarcastic...

Leng Rou didn't seem to care, but her tone became much more serious:
"It's better for me to say a few words now than for you to be arrogant and then get beaten down by others."

Upon returning to the sect, I reconnected with some of my closer fellow disciples.

Among them was a senior brother whose talent and ability far surpassed hers, and whose cultivation level had once been far higher than hers, but who was now only at the late stage of the Void Returning Realm...

That senior brother was once full of vigor and had fought against Saint Emperor Yuan three times.

When they first clashed, Saint Emperor Yuan was only at the initial stage of the Nascent Soul realm, while his senior brother was already at the peak of the Nascent Soul realm.

The two agreed to a three-move deal.

What should have been a one-sided match ended in defeat for my senior brother.

In their second encounter, both of them had just entered the Void Returning stage. They fought for a day and a night, and the senior brother was defeated by one move.

And the third encounter...

It was also a three-move agreement, but by then, Saint Emperor Yuan had already reached the Dao Integration stage, and even with all his senior brother's methods, he couldn't harm him in the slightest.

In the end, it was only with the help of the Holy Emperor that they were able to barely tear open a corner of his sleeve.

That was also the only time my senior brother 'won'.

But ever since then, that senior brother has been completely despondent...

Hey~
It's better to be like yourself, so you can recognize your own level.

She never even considered trying to compete with a 'monster' like Saint Emperor Yuan.

Wouldn't that be humiliating?!
Leng Rou sighed, "Alright, in the future, just keep a calm mindset when things happen. There are so many capable people in the world, there's no need to compete for everything."

“Emm…” Gu Wangjun pondered for a moment, “But I feel that my mindset has always been very good.”

Leng Rou: "..."

Also.

This kid can accept missing out on the opportunity from the Sword Ancestor very quickly...

wrong!

That's because the kid doesn't understand the meaning!
Thinking of this, Leng Rou felt a little annoyed again. This kid really doesn't know what's good for him!
"During the time I spent with you, I gradually came to understand the true significance of the patriarch, but I do not regret the choice I made back then."

"Do you know why?"

You know shit!
Leng Rou, who hadn't intended to pay him any attention, couldn't help but sneer when she heard the second half of the question.

"Why? Because I'm handsome!"
