Tumor Sword Immortal

Chapter 30 Raising troops to investigate crimes
Xu Shangxin moved closer to Pei Xia, watching Xie Huan's departing figure, somewhat surprised: "He didn't cause you any trouble?"

Pei Xia stroked her chin: "Maybe they were impressed by my genuine talent and knowledge."

Xu Shangxin rolled her eyes listlessly: "That's enough for you."

She admitted that Pei Xia's swordsmanship was performed beautifully.

But according to his own words, there are twelve realms in martial arts, and he is only at the Zhen Gang level.

Since he was their own young master and also their nominal husband's family, it wasn't appropriate to say much about him.

Pei Xia looked around and saw that there were many other cultivators from different schools giving lessons in the martial arts arena. He wondered what kind of great techniques they were teaching that could keep them talking for so long, with bursts of cheers from the students every now and then.

"Shall we go home too?" he asked Xu Shangxin.

Xu Shangxin shook her head and picked up the branch that Pei Xia had just dropped from the ground: "I'll practice for a while."

Pei Xia was surprised: "You really want to practice?"

"You taught me, so why don't I practice?"

"I thought you were just going through the motions..."

Pei Xia saw that she was really taking a stance and practicing the sword technique just like she had done earlier.

He couldn't help but add a reminder: "Practicing martial arts won't get you into the imperial examinations."

Xu Shangxin knew that she was waving a tree branch and answering him in the same way: "Women who study cannot pass the imperial examinations."

Although Da Ling is now governed by women, the imperial examinations are still not open to women.

For Xu Shangxin, reading was simply about recognizing characters and understanding principles; whatever she learned, she would only use it in her life.

"Learning martial arts is the same; it strengthens the body, and the more you learn, the more confident you'll be if you encounter a kidnapping in the future."

Her arguments were eloquent and perfectly reasonable, leaving Pei Xia speechless.

Xu Shangxin practiced meticulously and very seriously.

It seems she really wants to try martial arts training.

Pei Xia has a disciple named Lu Li, who cultivates the Su Master and has already reached the fifth realm.

However, most of this cultivation was taught by Weishan, or more specifically, by his master's wife.

Although Pei Xia was well-versed in the mysteries of the Su Master, he was constrained by the Calamity Pig and dared not break through to the fifth realm. Once he personally cast spells, he would inevitably attract more Calamity Pigs, greatly increasing the risk. So, if he really wanted to teach Pear, he could no longer teach her anything.

But this martial arts...

He actually managed to pull something out.

He raised his hand and placed it on Xu Shangxin's arm: "Here, exert force here, and also your waist. The waist is the core. When your physique improves in the future, you will also need to exert force from your waist to facilitate movement."

Xu Shangxin blushed deeply: "You...you can rub it, but don't pinch it..."

"Why is your tummy so soft?"

"Nonsense, my stomach is soft."

"Who said that? You touched mine, it was rock hard."

"Get out of here!"

Pei Xia taught her for a while, then shook her head: "No."

Xu Shangxin knew that she couldn't achieve Pei Xia's level of fluency in such a short time, and she was somewhat frustrated: "Do I lack talent?"

"No, I mean, this branch you're holding won't do."

Pei Xia plucked the branch from her hand: "This thing is too light. I can use it, but you can't. I need to find you a real sword."

Xu Shangxin tried to mention, "Ye Lu has one, it's quite beautiful."

"His incompetence will hurt people."

As Pei Xia spoke, she reached into her pocket as if she were taking something out: "Wait a minute, I'll make one for you."

Then he took out three iron nails, each a foot long.

Xu Shangxin remembered those nails vividly: "You carry three nails this long with you?"

“A magical artifact, a valuable item.”

Not to mention the long nail of the warrior, he still carries Zhang Guohan's short staff with him.

“Perfect, you can practice first, I’ll go and fix you up.”

After saying that, Pei Xia grabbed the iron nail and disappeared in a flash.

Judging from his tone, he went to refine weapons for Xu Shangxin.

He just said the artifact was valuable...

Xu Shangxin's face was flushed, perhaps because the swelling hadn't subsided after rubbing her stomach earlier.

She secretly turned her head and glanced at Li Er and Liu San, who were slacking off, as if afraid they would notice her blushing.

Phew, okay, okay.

Xu Shangxin picked up the branch again, preparing to practice.

A commotion suddenly arose at the edge of the martial arts arena. Xu Shangxin looked up and, following the students' gaze, saw two figures.

One of them, dressed in black with a red belt, had a long ponytail, held a sword in his hand, and was tall and slender.

The other one wore a purple gauze skirt, slit up to her thigh, revealing a patch of fair and plump leg flesh.

Xu Shangxin did not recognize Luo Xiaojin, but she recognized the attire of the Zhangsheng Palace.

She didn't know the name Han Youzhi, but she had indeed met Han Youzhi in person.

Oh no! Something's come up!
She was inwardly groaning.

Han Youzhi took Luo Xiaojin to the Prime Minister's residence to identify people and, incidentally, to confront them.

To be honest, Pei Xi has not yet been buried, and out of respect for the prime minister, it would be inappropriate for Han Youzhi to throw a tantrum in the prime minister's residence.

But in terms of status, she is Pei Xia's elder, and logically speaking, she went to rescue people yesterday.

It doesn't make sense to let Pei Xia knock on a bag for no reason, does it?
She only wanted an apology and to get her rabbit and magic artifact back, and that would have been the end of it.

When they arrived at the residence and inquired, they were told that the person had gone to the academy.

So Han Baiyi disregarded his status and actually brought Luo Xiaojin directly to Jiangchao Academy.

They practice martial arts at the martial arts field in the late afternoon; every kid there is full of vigor and hot-bloodedness.

Luo Xiaojin's cool and aloof demeanor is to be expected.

Even Pei Xia couldn't resist Han Youzhi's long, white legs, let alone the self-control of these kids.

Before long, someone with a big face took the lead and went up first.

"Are you two here to learn martial arts?"

This is a student around twenty years old, dressed smartly, so he must come from a wealthy family.

Han Youzhi, being of such status, naturally ignored such advances.

Only Luo Xiaojin wanted to share her uncle's burden, so she stepped forward, raised her long sword, and very abruptly pushed the person away.

The young man was pushed by the girl in public and stumbled; his expression immediately turned sour.

"Girl, why are you hurting people?" he said.

You see, you can tell whether some people are scoundrels just by listening to their mouths.

Luo Xiaojin was no Xu Shangxin. Her long sword flashed as it was drawn from its sheath, and in an instant, the tip of the sword severed the man's sideburns and came to rest steadily in front of his throat.

The man was taken aback at first, then a greater anger, as if he had been humiliated, welled up inside him.

Seeing the other person threatening him with a sword, he fearlessly raised his chin and said, "Little wench, if you have the guts..."

The words are not finished yet.

The cool tip of the sword pressed into the skin of his neck.

Blood slid down the blade.

She's really brave.

The man was immediately frightened.

He shut his mouth and dared not shout anymore. He took several steps back, clutching his neck as if he had seen a ghost.

Although the White-Robed Master does not hold any official position in the court, he enjoys a prestigious status. If an ordinary person dares to offend him, he can cause anything from minor injuries like a black eye to serious consequences like a severed head.

Of course, doing this to students in an academy is a bit extreme.

That is Luo Xiaojin.

Upon seeing blood, the students were immediately enraged, but soon, the knowledgeable monks began to do their best to stop them.

They might not recognize Han Baiyi, but Luo Xiaojin's black shirt and red belt outfit easily reminded people of a certain Zhang Sheng Palace.

Just as the brothers were wondering why the immortal on the waist of Luoshen Peak had suddenly come to Jiangchao Academy.

Then Han Youzhi's eyes lit up, and the two of them started walking towards Xu Shangxin.

Li Er and Liu San, who were just discussing what to eat for dinner, immediately perked up, tilting their heads back as if they were going to pop their eyes out.

Li Er: "What a high fork!"

Liu San: "What a high fork!"

Xu Shangxin looked at Han Youzhi and Luo Xiaojin who had walked up closest, and called out awkwardly, "Miss Gao."

Han Baiyi frowned: "Who's taller?"

"Fork high".

It's been too long since I last wrote, and I might need some time to get back into the swing of things. Please forgive me if there's anything I don't like, and I'll try to improve as I go.

Also, there are double monthly passes at the end of the month, so you can use any leftover passes.

There will be an extra update during the May Day holiday. Please help me out at the beginning of the month. I'll try to climb the new book chart next month, but I don't know if I can make it, haha.
