Chapter 159 Let His Majesty Call Out "Master" and Listen

"Who taught His Majesty his swordsmanship?!"

Jiang Qingyi narrowed her eyes and stared at Xiao Mo, completely unconcerned about how close she was to him.

"This sword technique was created when I was a prince. Once, I went to the mountains to sketch and accidentally fell into a cave. I came to a very strange place where this sword technique was carved on the stone wall. I happened to have pen and ink with me, so I copied it down."

Xiao Mo was talking nonsense with a straight face.

"Where is that cliff?" Jiang Qingyi asked again.

“I forgot.” Xiao Mo shook his head. “After I came out, I wanted to go back to that place, but I couldn’t find it anymore.”

Jiang Qingyi lowered her head and fell silent.

Listen to his words, look into his eyes.

Jiang Qingyi did not believe that he was lying to her.

After all, he obtained the Grass Character Sword Technique back then in an ancient ruin.

He even thought that he was born with knowledge and had inherited his past memories.

But now it seems I was overthinking things.

"Your Majesty's swordsmanship is quite good," Jiang Qingyi said, calming herself down. "However, I feel there are some problems."

"A problem?" Xiao Mo asked, puzzled.

Jiang Qingyi shook her head: "It shouldn't be a problem. Although I have never seen His Majesty's swordsmanship before, judging from His Majesty's moves just now, his swordsmanship may be able to be improved."

As she finished speaking, Jiang Qingyi opened her fair palm to Xiao Mo.

Xiao Mo glanced at her palm, understood her meaning, and placed the peach wood sword in her hand.

The moment the veiled woman grasped the longsword, Xiao Mo sensed a sudden change in her demeanor.

It was as if she had become one with the peach wood sword.

Jiang Qingyi brandished her wooden sword in front of Xiao Mo.

She perfectly replicated the moves that Xiao Mo had just practiced.

It was as if she had practiced it countless times.

Moreover, she made improvements to the original sword techniques.

The original awkward transitions in the Grass Character Sword Technique have become incredibly smooth.

Seeing her improve the "Grass Character Sword Technique," Xiao Mo was extremely surprised.

The opponent had only watched me practice once or twice, yet he was able to imitate the sword moves to such an extent, and even modified them.

This woman's kendo talent is simply outrageous.

"Your Majesty, shall we give it a try?"

Jiang Qingyi tossed the wooden sword back into Xiao Mo's hand.

"Then let me give it a try."

Xiao Mo did not refuse and imitated the sword moves that Jiang Qingyi had just improved.

"wrong."

Just as Xiao Mo unleashed two sword strikes, Jiang Qingyi shook her head and stepped forward.

"Your Majesty's sword strike is incorrect; it needs to be aimed higher."

"Then, Your Majesty must thrust the sword forward with all your might, without the slightest hesitation or even a moment's thought."

"One sword can break through all laws, one sword can cut through all worries. The so-called way of the sword must not be too heavy-hearted. Just cut away whatever is there."

"The sword stops at will, and the will moves with the heart. Your Majesty's eyes should not be fixed on the sword, but on the enemy in front of you. If there is no enemy in front of you, then imagine an enemy."

Jiang Qingyi held Xiao Mo's wrist with her fair and delicate hands, adjusted the angle of the sword, straightened his waist, and gently kicked his knee with her small feet in embroidered shoes, making him lower his center of gravity in his horse stance.

Strands of her hair occasionally brushed against Xiao Mo's cheek and the tip of his nose. Xiao Mo wasn't sure if it was just his imagination.

I always felt that she had a familiar scent about her.

And because she personally taught Xiao Mo, their bodies would inevitably touch each other regardless of the circumstances.

Therefore, Xiao Mo felt her soft yet resilient body.

"Why is Your Majesty looking at me? Look at the sword! Don't get distracted!" Jiang Qingyi narrowed her eyes, her tone carrying a reprimanding tone like that of a master.

"."

Seeing Jiang Qingyi's serious expression, Xiao Mo felt that he was being a bit pretentious.

The other person kindly taught him swordsmanship without being bothered by trivial matters, but he still thought about the difference between men and women.

Xiao Mo focused on practicing his swordsmanship and stopped thinking about it.

But what Xiao Mo didn't know was that beneath the veil of this "Fairy Jiang," a faint blush had already crept up.

If Fairy Jiang hadn't used her spiritual power to control her heartbeat, Xiao Mo could feel her heart beating faster and faster.

That's pretty much it.

After instructing Xiao Mo twice, Jiang Qingyi finally distanced herself from him.

"Thank you for your guidance, Fairy Jiang." Xiao Mo bowed with his sword in hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Your Majesty is too kind."

Although this Fairy Jiang kept calling him "Your Majesty," Xiao Mo didn't feel that she truly regarded him as the Emperor of Zhou.

But it's normal.

For most dynasties that had affiliated sects, the "Imperial Preceptor" represented the sect and held a higher actual status than the emperor.

She probably taught me swordsmanship because she saw a really good sword technique and got so engrossed that she just wanted to teach me.

"I have a favor to ask. I wonder if Fairy Jiang could keep my sword practice at the Dao Asking Altar a secret. Otherwise, if the other ministers hear about it, they will report me for being unlearned and incompetent," Xiao Mo said, feigning helplessness.

In reality, Xiao Mo was just making up an excuse.

After all, he has already begun cultivating Taoism, so what's wrong with adding "sword practice" to it?

Xiao Mo was worried that Yan Shan'ao would become suspicious if he knew that Yan Shan'ao was not only cultivating Taoism but also practicing swordsmanship full of killing intent.

Despite being an emperor, in the eyes of others, he was far from reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm.

But in Yan Shan'ao's mind, if an emperor secretly practices swordsmanship, doesn't that mean "Your Majesty may not have the power to rebel, but Your Majesty has the heart to rebel"?
Now that the other party has seen me, there's nothing I can do about it.

The only thing to do is try to ask the other party to keep it a secret.

After all, the other party seemed to be indifferent to worldly affairs and obsessed with swordsmanship, and did not seem to be someone who colluded with Yan Shan'ao.

Hearing Xiao Mo's words, Jiang Qingyi naturally understood his meaning: "What Your Majesty does is Your Majesty's business. I am just a sword cultivator. The affairs of the court are none of my concern. Not interfering in court affairs is also the rule of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect."

Xiao Mo breathed a sigh of relief: "Then thank you very much, Fairy Jiang."

"There's no need for thanks. However, Your Majesty, I am very interested in your swordsmanship. Would Your Majesty be willing to let me see the sword manual? In exchange, I will give Your Majesty a sword manual of the same grade. In addition, I will also teach Your Majesty when I have time."

“Very good. I will bring the sword manual tomorrow.”

"Fairy Jiang?"

Xiao Mo noticed that she was staring at him without saying a word.

The next moment, Jiang Qingyi took a step forward and walked to Xiao Mo, less than half a meter away from him: "Speaking of which, since I taught His Majesty swordsmanship, wouldn't His Majesty and I be considered master and disciple?"

Xiao Mo was speechless for a moment, wondering why she had brought this up. "What does Fairy Jiang mean?"

Jiang Qingyi stared into Xiao Mo's eyes and said calmly, "Your Majesty, please call me 'Master'."
