Youth Song: Leijiabao Thunder Emperor

"Senior brother, I'm really ready. There are so many things going on at the fireworks festival, how can Xiao Se manage? Please let me go and help him. I'm fine."

It has to be said that Lei Wujie's recovery ability is truly remarkable. Internal injuries that would render others unable to move for at least a week were gone in just two days for him.

"Go tell your master that. She said you should recuperate, but I wouldn't dare let you go out and find young girls. I still want to stay in this house for a few more days."

Lei Dong removed the silver needles from Lei Wujie's body and said irritably.

"What do you mean, looking for a young girl? I'm going to help Xiao Se."

"Heh, what good will this do for Xiao Se? You're just putting on an act with me."

Seeing Lei Wujie pretending to be a big shot, Lei Dong ruthlessly exposed him.

"I, I can also help Xiao Se come up with ideas. I know more about fireworks than they do."

Upon seeing Lei Dong's appearance, Lei Wujie immediately tried to save face.

"Hmm. That's true, but it's a pity they're not in charge of the fireworks project. That reason won't work; it won't convince me."

"Senior brother, please help me. By the time I recover from my injuries, the fireworks festival will be over. Wouldn't all your preparations have been for nothing?"

"I'm not pretending anymore. Go if you want, but remember not to use your internal energy, or you might develop health problems later."

Miss Ye is well-versed in the Taoist arts of Huanglong Mountain and has become quite knowledgeable about medicine through long illness; you could ask her to take a look at your health.

Seeing that Lei Wujie was no longer stubborn, Lei Dong stopped making things difficult for him.

"Thank you, senior brother."

Upon hearing Lei Dong's agreement to let him go out, Lei Wujie vanished in a flash.

Lei Dong smiled and ignored him, then began to concentrate on studying the sword technique in his hand.

Although Lei Wujie was naive, he wasn't stupid. Instead of going directly to Ye Ruoyi, he started looking for someone to guide him.

"So desolate, so desolate. How's the fireworks display going? I'm here to help."

"Just get things arranged. What else needs to be prepared?"

"Are you even healed yet? You ran away like that. Does Lei Dong even know you came out?"

Xiao Se has no mood to prepare any fireworks display right now; his mind is full of Lei Dong's words.

If it weren't for Lei Wujie, he probably wouldn't have said so much.

"Ah, everything's arranged. So, is there anything I can help you with?"

"Of course my senior brother knows. He's the one who sent me. He even said that Miss Ye cultivates some kind of mountain Taoist technique, and that I could ask her to take a look at my injuries."

Lei Wujie scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly at the end of his sentence.

"Are you here to see me?"

Xiao Se rolled her eyes at Lei Wujie, finding it somewhat amusing; it turned out she had been deluding herself.

"Of course I came to see you. You were the first person I came to see after I got out. How could I not come to see you?"

"Now finish watching it."

"You can leave now, I have something to do."

"Xiao Se, how come you're just like your senior brother?"

"I... I just want you to come with me to Miss Ye's place. I'd be too embarrassed to go alone."

"You can go find Sikong Qianluo. Why would you want to see me?"

How could Princess Yong'an, a woman of such high status, possibly engage in such pimping? Xiao Se continued to refuse.

"Didn't we not find Senior Sister Qianluo?"

Seeing Lei Dong make excuses, Lei Wujie had no choice but to tell the truth.

"You came to me because you couldn't find Qianluo. You're not going..."

"Xiao Se, please come with me. Just this once. If you come with me, I'll tell you a secret about my senior brother that I only found out yesterday."

"What secret? Tell me."

Upon hearing Lei Dong's secret, Xiao Se became somewhat interested.

"Then you have to promise to come with me, otherwise I absolutely will not tell you."

Seeing that Xiao Se had become interested, Lei Wujie immediately put forward his conditions.

"Alright, as long as the secret you're talking about interests me, I'll go with you to see Miss Ye."

It has to be said that Lei Wujie was still naive. He wasn't afraid that Xiao Se would simply say he wasn't interested after hearing the secret. He just revealed everything directly.

"I discovered that my senior brother has actually started practicing swordsmanship."

"That's it."

Xiao Se was dumbfounded. Was this a secret?

If it weren't for the genuine sincerity in Lei Wujie's eyes, Xiao Se would have felt like he'd been tricked.

Now he feels like he's been tricked; isn't this just getting something for nothing? Is he going to deny it, or is he going to deny it?

"What do you mean 'just this'? A sword? My senior brother has actually started practicing swordsmanship."

Seeing Xiao Se's "Are you kidding me?" expression, Lei Wujie got anxious.

"No one told you that after you fell into a coma that day, your senior brother almost killed Song Yan Hui with a sword."

Your senior brother was skilled in swordsmanship, didn't you know?

"I don't know."

"You little idiot. This is just a secret you don't know."

Xiao Se was amused by Lei Wujie's bewildered little eyes. Even his mood, which had been ruined by Lei Dong, eased a bit.

"Ah, why, why have I never seen my senior brother practice swordsmanship? That's Song Yan Hui, the city lord of Wushuang City, Song Yan Hui."

Lei Wujie was completely dumbfounded.

"Yes. The city lord of Wushuang City couldn't even catch a single sword strike. If the third city lord hadn't arrived in time, he would have lost at least an arm."

His sword strike, though called swordsmanship, was actually lightning magic, based on the same principle as the flying needles he used.

However, that day he used the Nine Heavens Lightning Summoning Technique and the Fearless Sword.

Who would have thought that the divine physician's acupuncture technique, in Lei Shou's hands, would be as lethal as a top-grade martial art, even Song Yan Hui couldn't withstand a single move.

Thinking of that thunderous sword strike that day, Xiao Se felt a pang of sorrow.

He considered himself exceptionally talented, but his swordsmanship, honed over many years, seemed like a joke in front of Lei Dong.

"That needle-controlling method can also be used to control swords. Can I learn it too?"

Lei Wujie had no idea that Xiao Se was feeling melancholy again. He was practically drooling.

"You've forgotten what your senior brother taught you again: self-cultivation is fundamental."

He paved the way for you; with him leading the way, you just need to follow him.

"If you master the Thunder and Fire technique, you can achieve the same result, unleashing tremendous power from simple moves."

Xiao Se said, a hint of envy in his eyes.

"Hmm. Actually, I don't have to be as good as my senior brother."

Lei Wujie seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly shuddered, saying somewhat awkwardly.

"Didn't you want to become a sword immortal?"

Your senior brother is now no less skilled than a sword immortal. You've already mastered the Thunderfire technique; you'll definitely become a sword immortal in a few years. Don't you want to surpass him?

Seeing Lei Wujie like this, Xiao Se was somewhat confused; this was unlike Lei Wujie at all.

"No, it's mainly because you know about the Five Thunder Body Training."

This body-tempering technique using thunder and fire, this heavenly lightning—just thinking about it terrifies me.

Lei Wujie shuddered as he finished speaking.

Lei Wujie never wanted to recall that kind of pain that radiated through every cell of his body. Although Lei Wujie didn't know what his senior brother meant by "cells," he knew that his whole body ached.

"To become strong, you must go through hardships. I believe in you, let's go."

Xiao Se patted Lei Wujie on the shoulder and walked outside first. However, the smile on his lips was hard to suppress.

"Where to?"

Lei Wujie stared blankly at Xiao Se as he left.

"Aren't you looking for Miss Ye? She's currently searching for a suitable venue with Qianluo and Yueji."

If you find Qianluo or ask Minghou and your senior brother, you don't need to come looking for me.

"By the way, didn't Yueji tell you she went out with Ye Ruoyi?"

During this period, Tsukihime and Sikong Qianluo sparred quite a bit.

The two had a good relationship. So, having nothing better to do, Yueji was conscripted by Sikong Qianluo.

"Ah. Sister Yueji said she was going out this morning and asked if I wanted to go, but I declined because I wanted to see Miss Ye."

"You little idiot."
