Starry Sky Railway: The Slacking Sword Saint is Keeped by Fu Xuan

"I have a stomach ache…"

"I can wait for you!"

He answered immediately.

"Sigh..." Yu Chen sighed helplessly, glancing at the bright blue sky above. It seemed he would have to spend this precious day off playing with the younger generation.

"I can practice with you, but you have to agree to one condition."

"Please explain further, sir!"

Yanqing rushed forward instantly, looking up and staring intently into his eyes.

Being able to spar with strong opponents would definitely be one of the greatest pleasures in his life, it's just a pity that his cheap master is too lazy and always uses being too busy as an excuse to avoid it...

I can't even practice with myself more than a few times a year.

He had visited and talked to every soldier in the Cloud Cavalry Army, and now there were not many left who could spar with him, the Xiaowei.

Now that a sword saint stronger than my master has suddenly appeared, how can I not fight him!

"After we finish fighting, come with me to the Taibu Temple. You can invite Xingxuan to go out and play together this afternoon."

"ah…?"

Yanqing's expression froze.

Chapter 28 Please enlighten me, sir!

Yu Chen curled the corners of his lips, looking at the boy in front of him with a playful expression.

"That's right, I want you to invite her out on a date!"

"This...no, why, why?" Yanqing stammered, lowering her head, her fair face instantly turning red.

"No reason, I just want you to do this... How about it, is that okay?"

Yu Chen looked at him with a maternal smile.

"Well...she might not agree to come out with me..."

Yanqing lowered her head and spoke softly, her earlobes already turning red.

“She will definitely agree!” Yu Chen said confidently.

"But...she might be busy..."

"Just tell her, and she definitely won't be busy today!"

"this…"

Yu Chen suddenly bent down and leaned forward, saying in a low voice, "If you don't agree, I won't practice swordsmanship with you."

"Okay, alright! I promise you!"

The young man suddenly raised his head, his face flushed red, revealing his shyness under the sunlight.

"Hahaha...Good lad, come on! Let's play some games!"

Yu Chen smiled with pleasure.

Yanqing, her face flushed and looking distressed, followed him out.

He just wanted to have a friendly spar, how did it turn out like this?

The two walked towards the Yunqi Army's garrison next to the Taibu Si (a local government office). Yu Sheng came out with a cup of tea and looked at the empty courtyard with a puzzled expression.

"What about people?"

...

Yanqing's face, Xiaowei's, seems to be quite famous, but as soon as he entered the camp, a bunch of awe-inspiring gazes were cast his way.

"May I use your training ground for a moment? I need to have a chat with this senior?"

"Of course, Yanqing, please do as you please!"

Xiao Wei, who was stationed there, happened to be there. He glanced at Yu Chen with a strange look, then his lips curled up slightly, and he ran to an open space to the side and stood there watching them.

Before long, a group of Yun cavalrymen surrounded them, climbing over to watch them. Most of them wore subtle smiles, their gazes towards Yu Chen a mixture of sympathy and schadenfreude.

Yu Chen raised an eyebrow, said nothing, and followed Yan Qing inside.

"Mr. Na Yuchen, please enlighten me!"

Yanqing stood on one side of the field, her gaze fixed intently on Yuchen.

"Wait a minute~"

Yu Chen raised his hand to stop him, then glanced around and looked at the weapon rack next to him.

"Hey bro over there, could you throw me a sword?"

The three people standing next to the weapon rack were slightly taken aback, and then their expressions became even stranger.

However, he didn't say much, picked up a standard longsword and threw it to Yu Chen.

"Oh, thanks."

He took the sword, a faint smile playing on his lips.

He drew his sword, hesitated for a moment looking at the scabbard and the sword, glanced at Yan Qing opposite him who was slightly frowning, and then chose to discard the scabbard.

If we use the scabbard to beat him up, this kid's confidence will be shaken, right?

Yes, he really is a considerate and kind elder!

"Sir, are you sure you don't want to use your own natal sword?"

Yu Chen smiled and casually twirled his sword, saying, "This will do... My sword isn't very good..."

Although he said it with a smile, there was an inexplicable somber tone in his voice.

"Alright, but Yanqing will not show any mercy because of this. Please do not blame me if I hurt you."

Yanqing's eyes sharpened, even though they had a minor encounter at the General's Mansion before.

But he didn't think that this time, with all the preparations made and his best efforts, he would still be unable to touch him like before.

"If you can hurt me, that's your skill."

Yu Chen smiled as he looked at the boy not far away. "Youthful arrogance is good!"

A swordsman should always maintain the same spirit and momentum as him!

What kind of swordsman is a decadent old man like myself... It would be an insult to the title of Sword Saint to hang it on my head.

Yu Chen lowered his eyes, looking at the long sword in his hand, grasping that familiar feeling, and sighed deeply.

What swordsman would go so long without drawing his sword?

"Sir, be careful!"

Seeing his dazed expression, Yanqing's anger flared even more.

Even if you are very capable, you shouldn't look down on him like that!

The sharp sword, radiating a chilling aura and flashing with blue light, thrust towards Yu Chen with almost instantaneous speed.

To the Yunqi soldiers watching from the sidelines, he simply vanished from his spot and reappeared in front of Yu Chen in an instant.

Only the Cloud Cavalry Guard squinted, barely managing to make out his movement trajectory.

It was precisely because of his ridiculously fast speed that he suffered such a crushing defeat... defeated by this brat...

So, this unknown 'senior'...

His eyes widened slightly; the face seemed vaguely familiar…

Everyone thought this strike would decide the outcome, but in the next instant, Yu Chen, who was still under Yan Qing's sword, disappeared without a trace.

"Still as ruthless as ever...very good."

A word of appreciation came from behind, and Yanqing's pupils suddenly contracted for a moment before he quickly swung his sword and looked behind him.

All I could see was empty air; there was no one behind me.

Where have you been?

Yanqing's eyes narrowed slightly. Although she couldn't find him, she remained calm.

He sensed and listened to the sound of each grain of sand rolling on the ground...

Up!

shuh~

A long sword fell to the ground, and Yu Chen quietly landed on the hilt, smiling as he looked at him.

"You've worked very hard; to achieve this level at such a young age..."

Yan Qing let out a soft breath, suppressing his wildly pounding heart. He had almost…

"Sir, you are truly formidable, so I'm going to get serious now!"

As he spoke, he lightly touched the ground with his feet, and his body drifted a distance backward.
