Chapter 25: A Year of Hard Work Pays Off
Shi Potian carefully put away the Azure Bird Jade Pendant. Seeing that there was no more talk in the cabin, and the old man even looked like he wanted to devour him alive, he was puzzled and said:
"Aunt, Master Long, I'll be going now. My father and the others are still waiting for me on the shore."
It turned out that Lin Zhennan and others, fearing for his safety, had already rushed to the riverbank to observe the situation.
"Ping'er, Ping'er, how are you!"
It was Lady Wang calling out.
From behind the bamboo curtain, the old woman hummed in agreement, her voice still carrying a hint of something intriguing: "You... Green Elder, see my guest out!"
"No, no need."
"Mother, I'm here!" Shi Potian shouted.
As he shouted, he turned and walked out of the cabin. As he passed Master Long, he didn't forget to give him another word of advice:
"Master Long, don't forget what I just said. Don't covet the sword manual again."
Master Long's face turned bright red. He waved his hand behind his back, looking like he wanted him to get lost.
The old man with the green robe escorted him to the cabin door, gave him a complicated look, and said, "My aunt said that the jade pendant is not allowed to be given to anyone else, not even your parents."
Shi Potian didn't understand what he meant, but he still nodded in agreement.
Stepping out of the cabin, the river breeze blew in his face, and the coolness of the water vapor invigorated Shi Potian.
Sure enough, there were figures moving along the shore, but they were quite far away.
Although the boat was moving slowly, it still drifted downstream for a distance.
Shi Potian suddenly remembered something and hurriedly went to find the small boat. Fortunately, the small boat was also floating nearby, and with his abilities, he could still jump across.
Lin Zhennan and his wife, along with the members of the escort agency, were anxiously waiting. Seeing him emerge safely, they breathed a sigh of relief and called out, "Ping'er, are you alright? Who were those people over there?"
Shi Potian also shouted, "It's an old woman, almost a hundred years old!"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a cold snort came from inside the cabin.
He leaped, displaying his incredible lightness skill of "Leaving No Trace for a Thousand Miles," and in a single bound, jumped several meters onto the Dragon Incense Master's small boat, turning back to say:
"Master Long, I've rowed away in your boat. How will you get ashore? Let me row over and pick you up."
"It's too far, you can't jump over it."
"I don't want it anymore, you can have the boat too!" Master Long said loudly, his tone very unfriendly.
Shi Potian had nothing more to say. He pushed off with a bamboo pole, and the small boat cut through the waves, going upstream, and soon reached the shore.
The spring water was still cold. The men who had been knocked into the water by the Dragon Master had already been rescued and carried away by others. Only "Yangtze River Double Flying Fish" and two men in black who had fainted and then woken up were still waiting on the shore.
They watched Shi Potian come ashore, trembling with fear, yet daring not to run.
Shi Potian ignored them and walked straight toward the group from Fuwei Escort Agency.
Madam Wang rushed forward, grabbed his hand, and looked him up and down:
"Ping'er, it's just a few clothes, why are you working so hard?"
Seeing that he was completely unharmed, without even a single hair missing, I was relieved.
Shi Potian felt Wang Furen's concern and was deeply moved: "Those are clothes that my mother made for me, I can't throw them away."
He smiled at Lin Zhennan and said, "Dad, I'm fine."
"There's a formidable old woman on the boat; all those who attacked us have to listen to her." He pointed to the men in black on the shore. "She said these people won't bother us anymore."
"Who are they?" Lin Zhennan asked.
"They are members of the Sun Moon Cult, and the leader is the incense master of the Nanchang branch," Shi Potian replied casually.
"What?"
"The Sun Moon Cult!"
"They've also set their sights on the sword manual?"
The people at Fuwei Escort Agency immediately erupted in chaos.
Mr. and Mrs. Lin Zhennan were startled and were about to ask what was going on when someone on the river suddenly called out, "Young Master Escort, my aunt has another request."
Shi Potian turned his head and saw that the old woman's boat was going upstream again, heading towards this shore. There were two people standing at the bow of the boat. The one who was shouting was Green Old Man, who was holding a sword in his hand.
The dragon spirit master was struggling to steer the boat toward the shore.
"What does my aunt want with me?"
"My aunt said she would like to invite the young镖头 (bodyguard/escort) to have a sword duel with her nephew."
"A sword fight?" Shi Potian blinked, looking completely bewildered. "Why a sword fight?"
"It is said that the young镖头 (bodyguard/escort) has mastered the true Evil-Repelling Sword Technique and defeated Yu Canghai in one move."
The old man's voice carried a hint of curiosity, yet also a touch of probing: "I have practiced martial arts for many years and have long admired the reputation of this sword technique. I would like to take this opportunity to witness its power."
Lin Zhennan's heart tightened upon hearing this, and he was about to decline when he saw Shi Potian readily nod in agreement.
"Alright, but I've only just learned the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique, so don't be disappointed."
Green Old Man was taken aback by Shi Potian's straightforwardness, and then leaped ashore.
"Young Master Escort is too modest. Rest assured, we will stop when we've made a move and will never hurt anyone."
"Alright, let's stop here. I was afraid of hurting you with my sword, but Yu Canghai insisted on a sword fight and ended up getting hurt by me."
Green Old Man felt a tightness in his chest, glanced at Dragon Master, and snorted.
His original intention was to tell Shi Potian that he wouldn't be hurt and that he could compete without worry, but he didn't expect to be underestimated.
The kid really doesn't know his place.
Shi Potian borrowed a longsword from Lin Zhennan, held it horizontally across his chest, and assumed the starting stance of the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique.
Green Old Man also drew his long sword. The sword was dark and had no sharp edge, but it exuded a murderous aura.
With a sword in hand, Green Old Man seemed to transform into a different person in an instant. He was no longer a bald, frail old man, but a peerless swordsman.
The two stood on the open ground on the shore, no more than ten feet apart.
Lin Zhennan and the other members of the escort agency stepped aside, watching nervously.
Long Xiangzhu stood at a distance, his heart filled with mixed feelings. He was afraid that the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique would be overrated and make him look incompetent again, and he was also afraid that Shi Potian was too powerful and would make the Divine Sect even more embarrassed.
The old man gently stroked the sword with his left hand, as if caressing an old friend, and began to recite:
"Ten years to forge a sword, its frosty edge yet to be tested."
"Today I present this to you; who has a grievance to redress?"
After reciting the incantation, he drew his sword.
They didn't even bother with politeness.
The longsword, like a rainbow piercing the sky, even faintly accompanied by the sounds of wind and thunder, pierced Shi Potian's chest in an instant, as if the distance did not exist.
Just as the sword was about to pierce his chest, Lin Zhennan and his wife were shocked. This old man's swordsmanship was probably even better than Yu Canghai's!
As everyone gasped in surprise, Shi Potian took a step forward and vanished from his spot.
The old man spent ten years honing his sword, only to fail.
The sword landed on empty air, causing immense discomfort.
Before he could check Shi Potian's location, he suddenly felt a chill on his neck.
A long sword was already at his neck.
"Old Green, that's enough. You've lost."
"I didn't hurt you." Shi Potian was happy that he hadn't hurt Green Old Man in the sword fight.
The old man, who had spent ten years honing his sword but failed, was already pale and bloodless; now he was even more ashen-white.
The Dragon Master secretly rejoiced, thinking that Green Old Man had lost face even more than he had. They shared the hardship and the shame together; they were truly good brothers in the sect.
She no longer hated him so much for plotting against her before.
Inside the cabin of the boat on the riverbank, the "old woman" suddenly stood up, her chest heaving, her small hand covering her mouth, silently reciting:
"I found it, I found it!"
