Sword Qi to the Sky

Chapter 71 Senior Brother and Senior Sister

Time flies, and a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

During this month, the disciples of Lishan went down the mountain one after another. Before they went down, Lishan opened up a lot of resources.

Now, there are only a group of old guys left in the mountain.

Although Lishan was saved in the last battle, they knew it was not because the Lishan Sword Master was really alive, but because Li Fan got the magic sword. If the imperial court knew the truth and mobilized more troops to attack, Lishan would not be able to bear it.

It was for this reason that Li Shan dismissed his disciples.

Of course, the court has been silent for the past month, probably because they are wary.

That sword killed Wang Daoxuan, the top swordsman of Lingxiao Pavilion.

Such deterrent power is enough to shock the imperial court. The other forces are relying on the imperial court. If the imperial court does not take action, it is even more impossible for them to go to Lishan.

Lishan has not been destroyed, and many forces are now in a state of panic.

However, Li Shan was not in a hurry for revenge.

Now, the most important thing for Li Shan is to protect Li Fan and help him grow.

Everything else can be put on the back burner.

If the imperial court launches another attack on Lishan, the old people in Lishan will not fight to the death.

At Jianfeng, Li Fan sat there quietly practicing.

In the sea of ​​consciousness, the sword type underwent some changes. Lines appeared on the sword. These lines had wisps of light and different colors.

There is the color of blazing flames, the color of violent thunder, the extremely sharp gold, the green color representing vitality, and so on... His sword type began to integrate the power of other attributes.

In addition, Li Fan felt that his cultivation had reached a bottleneck, the peak of the Spirit Refining Realm.

The next realm is the out-of-body realm.

Just a month ago, he broke through to the late stage of the Spirit Refining Realm. Such a speed of cultivation allowed Li Fan to have a clearer understanding of himself.

Li Fan stopped practicing.

Over the past month, he has been in Sword Valley and Sword Peak. All the cultivation resources of Lishan are open to him. He has also inherited a lot of sword skills from Lishan's ancestors. If Li Fan is willing, he can inherit all the sword skills of his ancestors.

But Li Fan didn't think it was necessary. He thought that he could not digest too much. The Nine Decays of Heaven and Man inherited from his master was already the most advanced sword technique. Combined with the inheritance from several other predecessors, it was enough for him to use.

As for martial arts, he possesses the Sword Scripture of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Great Dao. This martial art is extremely magical, and he has only discovered a little bit of it now.

In addition, he also selected several sets of spells to practice to assist his swordsmanship.

Two figures came here from the distance.

"Master, Junior Brother." Li Fan called out when he saw the two of them coming, then looked around and asked, "Where's Senior Sister?"

These days, the one who spends the most time here is my senior sister.

"Your senior sister has gone back." said the old blind man.

"Where to go back to?" Li Fan seemed to realize something, and a sense of loss surged in his heart.

"The Imperial City of Dali." The old blind man replied, "She has some things to deal with. Besides, she can keep an eye on some people in the palace."

Now, Li Fan is no longer the Li Fan of the past. He does not need Ye Qinghuang to guard him. Li Shan will protect him. Therefore, Ye Qinghuang returned to the palace, where she can protect Li Fan in another way.

"Senior sister, is she the Princess of Dali?" Li Fan had never asked the question in his mind, but when he heard that his senior sister had left, he felt disappointed.

"Yes." The old blind man nodded: "See for yourself."

After saying that, a light was released from the old blind man's brows and drilled towards Li Fan's brows. Li Fan closed his eyes, and many memories entered his mind.

He saw pictures.

In a royal garden, a young girl was dancing with a sword. Although she was only fifteen years old, she already had a stunningly beautiful face.

"Father, how is it?" The innocent and romantic girl shouted to her father. Li Fan saw a middle-aged man wearing a simple green robe, with a handsome face and a dignified bearing. There was a look of arrogance between his brows, but when he looked at the girl, his eyes were full of doting.

"Well, the Green Phoenix dancing with swords is a rare sight. Today, father will have a feast for his eyes." The man laughed loudly.

"Then you promised to let me become the imperial teacher's apprentice and learn sword from him." The girl smiled and looked at the person next to her father. It was the old blind man. However, he was not blind at that time, nor was he as old as he is now. Instead, he was full of energy.

At that time, he was the national teacher of Dali.

Li Fan watched the pictures carefully as they flashed by. The girl was a princess of the royal family of Dali and was loved and adored by everyone. The Emperor of Dali also doted on her and obeyed her in every way.

Everyone in the palace looked at her with love and envy. Princess Dali was the most beautiful woman in Dali in their hearts. How could they not like her?

But it all ended one day.

In one scene, thunder flashed above the majestic imperial city, and heavy rain poured down. The girl stood in the heavy rain and asked the old blind man, "Master, where is my father?"

"Your Majesty, he has not returned!"

A voice rang in the girl's ears, like the collapse of the sky.

The memory scene ended here. Li Fan's heart was in turmoil. A picture emerged in his mind, of a girl lying on the ground fainted, surrounded by the corpses of demons. That was the first time he met his senior sister.

What did the former Princess Dali go through, Senior Sister?
Li Fan opened his eyes and looked at the old blind man, and asked: "Who is the current Emperor of Dali..."

"Your senior sister's uncle." The old blind man responded.

Li Fan's heart was in turmoil. It seemed that the royal family of Dali and Lishan also had a honeymoon period.

When my senior sister's father was alive, since he was willing to invite the old blind man to come out of seclusion to serve as the National Master of Dali, he must have had no ill will towards Lishan.

"Will he do anything bad to me?" Li Fan asked worriedly.

"No, the Holy Queen Mother of Dali is still alive, the mother of the current emperor, and she is very fond of your senior sister." The old blind man replied. Li Fan felt relieved, but a little uncomfortable.

The changes that Senior Sister had gone through must have been more difficult than what he had experienced.

"Xiao Fan, do you still remember your senior sister taking you back to Lishan?" asked the old blind man.

"Yeah." Li Fan nodded. He would never forget how his senior sister dragged him to the village and climbed the mountain for him.

"Your sister was already dead in her heart, and was determined to slay the demon, but she almost died outside. Later, she met you, and since then, you have become her hope in life. Do you understand?"

"I understand." Li Fan nodded, his eyes a little red. Because of this, no matter who deals with him, his senior sister will be merciless.

"Xiao Fan, you must remember to treat your sister well." The old blind man sighed, "Also, take good care of yourself. If you are gone, your sister will probably be heartbroken as well."

"I know." Li Fan nodded heavily: "Old blind man, why are you becoming more and more verbose as you get older?"

Be nice to your senior sister. Do I need to say more?
"How did senior sister's father die?" Li Fan asked.

The old blind man shook his head and said, "When you reach this level in the future, you can find out the truth."

It's too early for Li Fan now.

"Okay." Li Fan nodded, feeling a little sad that his senior sister had left without a sound.

Now Li Shan is protecting him, perhaps because of this reason, the senior sister felt at ease to leave.

In the past ten years or so, Senior Sister had never been away from him.

"Your senior sister asked me to tell you, Xiaofan, that you have grown up and it's time to go out into the world." said the old blind man. Li Fan could imagine the tone of his senior sister's voice. He looked into the distance, as if he saw his senior sister's face.

Yes, it’s time to travel the world.

"Junior brother." At this time, Wen Ruyu spoke.

"Junior brother." Li Fan responded with a smile.

Wen Ruyu turned around and walked forward. Li Fan knew that his junior brother might have something to say to him, so he followed him.

The old blind man did not follow, but sat on a wooden chair outside the hut, lying there quietly.

He knew what Wen Ruyu was going to say.

It's time to untie his knot.

Wen Ruyu and Li Fan walked to the edge of the cliff and looked at the mountains in the distance. There was a breeze and Li Fan said softly, "Brother, I'm sorry."

Wen Ruyu looked at Li Fan and asked, "Because of the sword?"

"Yeah." Li Fan nodded.

"I don't care anymore." Wen Ruyu said, "Junior brother, do you still remember that year when I took you to hunt monsters in the mountains and you almost died at the hands of the monster?"

"Yes." Li Fan nodded with a smile: "Remember, for this, Junior Brother, you hunted down those monsters for several months and killed the entire monster family."

"I did it on purpose." Wen Ruyu said.

Li Fan looked at Wen Ruyu.

"I deliberately forgot you there and almost killed you." Wen Ruyu said, "Back then, when I knew about the inheritance of the Lishan Sword Dao and became Master's disciple, I thought that person would be me."

"I haven't been abandoned, have I?" Li Fan said with a calm smile.

Wen Ruyu looked at him and saw that the young man had clear eyes and a flawless smile.

At this moment, Wen Ruyu understood that his junior brother had known it all along.

Yes, how could Junior Brother not know, how could he lose him?
But even so, when he was accidentally injured and his junior fellow apprentice found him, he stayed by his side and took care of him.

It turned out that he was far inferior to his junior brother from the beginning to the end.

Master’s choices are never wrong.

"Junior brother." Wen Ruyu looked into the distance and said seriously, "I will be your sword."

After saying that, he took a step forward and shot towards the distance like a sharp sword.

"Junior Brother." Li Fan shouted to Wen Ruyu's back, "You are my senior brother, and also my elder brother."

Wen Ruyu didn't look back.

Li Fan looked at the receding figure. He knew that his junior brother felt guilty. Ever since that incident, his junior brother had been protecting him with guilt.

He could understand, especially now.

The old blind man was lying on a chair, listening to the conversation between his two fellow apprentices. He tilted his head back, the sunlight shining on his wrinkled face, and a smile appeared on his old face.

Wen Ruyu's father was the previous generation's Lishan Sword Master and also one of the inheritors.

Back then, Wen Ruyu was young and full of energy, and he found it hard to accept that a strange young man took away his status as the successor just after he came up the mountain.

The old blind man felt guilty for not passing the inheritance to him.

Fortunately, nowadays, his disciples are all excellent enough.

The thing he was most proud of in his life was that he taught several outstanding disciples, all of whom were better than him.

"so good!"

The old blind man muttered to himself, and he couldn't help but recall his youth, the high-spirited young man.

pity.

Flowers may bloom again, but people will never be young again!
