Why do you always want to be my Taoist partner?

Yue Ji snorted softly, and the corners of her pink lips curled up. After getting the pill, she had no reason to stay any longer, so she stood up. It started to drizzle outside the window again, and Jiang Li held an umbrella for Yue Ji.

"So... it seems that I've caused you trouble by giving the fly to you. I'll solve it myself tomorrow?" Yue Ji suddenly asked.

"No need. Isn't this a rare opportunity for me to show off?" Jiang Li replied with a smile. Yue Ji said, "Then you should do your best. If you do well... I will give you a reward."

"What reward?" Jiang Li leaned close to Yue Ji's ear and gave a playful smile.

Yue Ji's pink cheeks flushed slightly, "I won't tell you yet."

"Good good."

Jiang Li watched Yue Ji leave with an umbrella.

Her figure in the cheongsam was very pleasing to the eye, so he stood in the attic and looked at her from afar, until her figure disappeared from his sight. Jiang Li turned around, glanced at Dabai behind him, and said.

"I have something to do outside, you stay at home."

After saying that, he stood up and walked towards the top of Hidden Sword Peak.

....................................

Hidden Sword Peak is one of the five inner sects of Xuantian Dao Ji Zong.

The swordsmanship of Hidden Sword Peak emphasizes concealment. What is concealment? If you don't come out, it's fine. If you come out, you must kill. That's concealment.

There are two factions in Hidden Sword Peak. One is the Sword-raising Faction. The sword practitioners of the Sword-raising Faction usually practice and comprehend sword skills, but they rarely fight with others because every time they draw their swords, they consume the sword intent they have comprehended from practicing and comprehending sword skills, and their power should not be underestimated.

The second faction is the Hidden Sword Faction. Their sword moves are treacherous and vicious, and every sword strike is deadly. Many of their sword moves are feints used when fighting with others. Only one sword is real, and when that sword is struck, the opponent will see blood.

The former is more of a theoretical school, while the latter requires a lot of sword discussions to perfect one's sword skills. When Jiang Li went up the mountain, an elder asked him which sword school he wanted to practice. Jiang Li thought for a moment and chose the Sword Cultivation School.

Because the Yangjian Sect is a very Buddhist sword sect, and because they always have to maintain their swords on a daily basis, they have never fought with others. Most of the time they work alone, studying the way of the sword, which requires a very high talent in swordsmanship. But it is also because of this that the Yangjian Sect has gradually declined in Hidden Sword Peak over the years.

Originally, several elders of the Sword Cultivation Sect thought that Jiang Li would be the hope for revitalizing the Sword Cultivation Sect of Hidden Sword Peak. Unfortunately, contrary to everyone's expectations, he was hurt by love and never recovered... At least that's what they saw.

But in fact, Jiang Li had never said to anyone, such as, "I won't practice sword anymore" or "My sword heart has collapsed." He just spent more time flirting with girls, that's all.

But it's not that he stopped practicing sword, or that his swordsmanship was shaken. In fact, he felt that his swordsmanship was very powerful now. He was reluctant to participate in the Hidden Sword Peak Competition in recent years because he felt it was unnecessary. Anyway, the rewards from the competition were dispensable to him.

But he never expected that this would give him the character of a fallen playboy hurt by love. Since that was already the case, Jiang Li simply accepted it. This was quite interesting to talk about.

He never thought of hiding his incompetence on purpose. The more he did so, the more people would regard him as pitiful and vulnerable. That was all.

The disciples of the Hidden Sword Sect in Hidden Sword Peak always occupy the top five positions in Hidden Sword Peak. Occasionally, a disciple from the Yangjian Sect, who is also Jiang Li's senior brother, is able to stay in the top five for a month or two. Therefore, many disciples of the Yangjian Sect have joined the Hidden Sword Sect in recent years. Jiang Li has heard of this.

He always heard a lot of things because when he was with a woman he always had to talk a lot of boring things to pass the time.

It was not too late at this moment, but it was just evening, and those sword fanatics would never go to bed so early. Jiang Li climbed the mountain that belonged to the Hidden Sword Sect and came to the sword-fighting arena on the top of the mountain. As expected, there were a group of disciples watching a swordsman in white dancing with a sword.

The swordsman who was dancing with the sword, if Jiang Li remembered correctly, was the fourth-ranked person in Hidden Sword Peak. His name was Mo Tiansheng. He was picked up from outside by the elders of the Hidden Sword Sect. But what's interesting is that there are often rumors that he is the illegitimate son of the Hidden Sword Sect's chief elder. However, this statement is just a rumor and should not be taken seriously.

At least thirty disciples were watching him dance with swords at this moment. The other disciples were on the sword-fighting stage, practicing each other's sword moves with wooden swords. The sword practitioners were all martial arts fanatics. The elegant and graceful sword practitioners like those in the stories were a minority. Most of the sword practitioners had their brains dulled due to daily sword practice. In the end, they had only good sword skills but knew nothing about the ways of the world.

Just like Qian Tingsheng, the target that Jiang Li is going to beat up this time, this is a typical example. Although it is important to show your sense of security when pursuing a girl, when the girl clearly shows that she is not interested in you and prefers other handsome guys, you still have to cause trouble for that handsome guy... Isn't this just making the girl feel upset?

This solution can only be described as very vulgar, stupid, unacceptable, frivolous, brain-dead, low IQ, and no wisdom. Anyone who does this can only be described as stupid.

This is not the way to poach a girl. To poach a girl, you have to please the girl first, approach her as a friend, and then give her psychological hints about the shortcomings of her partner. But you must never show it clearly. After planting the seeds, wait for them to ferment. Wait until the girl's partner becomes jealous and then take the initiative to leave the girl. At that time, the girl will remember the seeds she planted. If you meet a stupid one, she will start to complain about the other person with you... During this period, you must proceed step by step and must not take a wrong step. It's like walking on a tightrope. If you take a wrong step, you will lose everything.

and many more.

Jiang Xiaoli, Jiang Xiaoli, you are not a scumbag who likes to poach other people’s girls, why are you thinking about these things?

Jiang Li came behind the group of sword cultivators who had gathered to watch Mo Tiansheng's sword dance. Without saying a word, he quietly watched the other party perform the entire set of sword moves and cheered with the crowd.

The sword move of the Hidden Sword School is called Hidden Kill.

Mo Tiansheng's sword skills were indeed good, otherwise he wouldn't be the fourth-ranked swordsman at Hidden Sword Peak. After the disciples finished cheering, the scene quieted down a bit. Jiang Li took a step forward and looked at the disciples, "Does any senior brother know where Senior Brother Qian went?"

The senior brother Qian he was referring to was naturally Qian Tingsheng.

Jiang Li has gained some reputation in Xuantian Daoji Sect over the years. Although it is a bad reputation, these sword cultivators soon recognized Jiang Li. Mo Tiansheng was standing aside, wiping his beloved sword. When he saw Jiang Li, he narrowed his eyes slightly and replied to Jiang Li in a cold voice, "Senior Brother Qian and Senior Brother Mu just went down the mountain yesterday to carry out the sect's mission."

Jiang Li was slightly stunned, and suddenly felt a little regretful, and shook his head, "Then I won't bother you anymore."

"What do you want to see Senior Brother Qian for?" Mo Tiansheng asked calmly, looking at his beloved sword in his hand.

"I wanted to challenge him to a duel, but since he's not here, I'll come next time." Jiang Li answered humbly. Unfortunately, as soon as he said this, all the sword practitioners around him suddenly fell silent. A gust of wind blew, and except for the sound of the wind, there was only a dead silence under the arena.

----------

ps: I haven’t updated for only three hours, why are some people saying I’m going to quit? QAQ

Chapter 30: Chapter I'll Come Back

After a period of silence, the crowd suddenly came like a tide, breaking the silence.

"Is Jiang Liren okay?"

"Is Jiang Li crazy?"

"I heard that recently...it seems that Senior Brother Qian and Jiang Li have some conflicts."

"Hiss, does he still think that he was the second best in Hidden Sword Peak back then?"

"Don't worry, maybe Jiang Li has been raising the sword for four years just to become famous in this battle today?"

"Did he know that Senior Brother Qian wasn't here today, so he came here to declare war, so as to earn a good reputation in some girl's ears? Hahahahaha."

………………

But in fact, after Jiang Li finished explaining that sentence, he turned around and walked away. His steps were neither hurried nor slow, and there was no change in his pace. But after he took a few steps, a cold sneer came from behind him.

"stop."

Jiang Li turned around.

Mo Tiansheng on the stage raised his eyes slightly, "Senior Brother Qian is not here, so let me fight with you on his behalf?"

There was a hint of teasing at the corner of Mo Tiansheng's mouth, and many disciples in the audience also had an expression of watching the fun in their eyes. Jiang Li looked at the other person's face and hesitated for a second or two.

He wondered whether it was necessary to have a sword fight with him, which was a waste of time and meaningless.

But he hesitated for just one or two seconds, and naturally seemed to be showing his cowardice. Mo Tiansheng on the stage then said, "Why, you dare to challenge Brother Qian, but you don't even dare to try me, the fourth of Hidden Sword Peak?"

Jiang Li thought for a moment, "There is no need for me to have a sword fight with Senior Brother Mo, so let's not compete, so as not to hurt the relationship." Jiang Li respectfully saluted Mo Tiansheng in front of him, then turned around, no longer looked at him, and continued walking forward.

This weird behavior caused the crowd to burst into laughter, but Mo Tiansheng's expression became a little ugly. For some reason, he always felt that there was a hint of contempt in the depths of Jiang Li's eyes when he said that before.

It's probably similar to the contempt for not wanting to play with a kid like you.

Mo Tiansheng scolded again, "Since you are here, what's wrong with a sword fight? Sword cultivators are supposed to be fearless. Can't you hear the ridicule from these junior brothers?"

"No wonder your Yangjian Sect has declined over the years. You are all spineless guys."

Jiang Li's figure froze for a moment. He turned around and looked at Mo Tiansheng in front of him. "I don't want you to be laughed at by your fellow apprentices later."

Mo Tiansheng's eyes gradually became cold. He slowly pulled the magic sword out of its scabbard. An oppressive chill flowed in the night. Jiang Li shook his head helplessly and walked towards the direction of the sword-fighting arena. The crowd naturally made way for him.

Jiang Li jumped lightly and landed on the sword-fighting arena.

"Why are you here again?" Mo Tiansheng's sword reflected a cold light under the moonlight.

"I was raised by the Yangjian Sect. I can't stand your words, so I came here naturally."

Jiang Li's expression was unusually serious, "The Yangjian Sect and the Yinjian Sect should be one family."

"Look at these fellow apprentices in the audience. Do any of them think they are one with those cowards from your Yangjian Sect?"

Jiang Li really looked down at the stage. Many people were laughing. Jiang Li didn't understand why they were laughing. He didn't find it funny at all.

The Yangjian Sect cultivates truly extraordinary talents, but these people don't understand.

Jiang Li hesitated for a moment, then took out the magic sword that Yue Ji had given him that day from his storage ring.

This magic sword looked quite rusty and ancient, and there was nothing special about it. But when Jiang Li grasped the hilt and injected some spiritual energy into it, he understood the next moment.

This is not a sixth-grade spiritual sword, but a mysterious-grade spiritual sword worth at least five thousand spiritual stones. There are two small characters "Nuan Yue" engraved on the sword, and it is obvious that the characters were engraved by Yue Ji herself.

Yue Ji, that tsundere bad woman.

And what Mo Tiansheng was holding in his hand was also a Xuan-level spiritual sword, so he did not have the advantage of the weapon. Jiang Li and Mo Tiansheng were ten body lengths apart. Now that both of them were in position, the sword fight could begin in full view of everyone.

Mo Tiansheng's cultivation aura was revealed in an instant. His cultivation was at the middle stage of the Jindan stage.

When Jiang Li's cultivation level was revealed, there was a round of boos from the audience, because his cultivation level was only at the initial stage of foundation building, and Mo Tiansheng's cultivation level was one major realm and one minor realm higher than his.

After the foundation building comes the Dan formation, and after the Dan formation comes the Nascent Soul. The Dan formation can be divided into several types. Many cultivators, if they are talented enough, will lay a good foundation in their bodies during the foundation building period in order to pursue the Heavenly Dao Dan formation in the future. Mo Tiansheng was obviously eager for success during the foundation building period, so the aura of his Dan formation was only of the Earth Grade. But even so, it was naturally easy for him to defeat the early stage of the foundation building.

So the audience became more lively at this moment.

Many disciples were fully prepared to have fun, and many hoped that Jiang Li would be beaten until he cried for his parents, so that they could tell the story to their junior and senior sisters at Hidden Sword Peak for fun.

Let those girls know that no matter how sweet his words are, he is just an empty shell in the end.

"Do you need me to teach you a few moves, brother?" Mo Tiansheng asked calmly.

"Okay, then senior brother, let me have a try." Jiang Li laughed.

Mo Tiansheng was stunned for a moment, then he mocked the other party, but Jiang Li was so shameless that he agreed. But with his level of cultivation, let alone one move, even if he was allowed to make ten moves, what waves could he make?

Jiang Li was very happy that someone could help him.

He held the warm moon in his hand and looked up at the waning moon in the sky. After a moment, he slightly raised the spirit sword in his hand. There was some spiritual energy attached to the spirit sword, and the blade seemed to reflect the cold light of the moonlight.

The next moment, all the disciples present heard the sound of the wind.

The origin of the sound of wind was on the sword-discussing stage. At the moment when the whistling wind sounded, a sword light was also extremely clear in the dark night, which meant that Jiang Li would make a move. Mo Tiansheng only blocked and did not draw his sword. However, Mo Tiansheng could not even see the trajectory of the sword. The moment he heard the sound of the wind, Jiang Li's sword had already arrived in front of him.

The tip of his sword enlarged in his sight until the cold light was already in front of his pupils.

His body's instinctive reaction was to close his eyes. Fear filled his limbs at that moment, making him unable to move at all. At this moment, Jiang Li's figure stood in front of him.

The tip of his sword was right in front of Mo Tiansheng's pupils. If it moved any further it would pierce into his eyes, turning the black and white in his eyes into a paste.

"Concession."

Jiang Li said softly.

..........................................

What kind of sword fight is this?

What happened on the stage happened in just a moment. No one could even see Jiang Li's figure clearly. They only heard the sound of the wind, and then Jiang Li was already standing in front of Mo Tiansheng.

The sword fight was over. Jiang Li left his sword hanging there because he was about to stop. Mo Tiansheng hadn't even raised his sword yet, but the outcome was already obvious.

But no one could say a word at this moment.

Mo Tiansheng slowly opened his eyes, and Jiang Li retracted the sword. Only then did Mo Tiansheng realize that his forehead was covered with cold sweat. The aura of the previous sword made him almost breathless, but after the fear, what came up was endless humiliation.

"I... was careless. This strike... doesn't count."

"It was Senior Brother Mo who asked me to use my skills, so how come it doesn't count?" Jiang Li asked in confusion.

"Then do you dare to fight me with swords again?!"

"Brother Mo, you'd better not get entangled. After all, you can still find a good excuse for losing this sword fight." Jiang Li lowered his voice so low that only the two of them could hear this sentence.

Yes, Mo Tiansheng could still find an excuse. After all, Jiang Li was from the sword-raising school. Maybe he had cultivated this sword for a long time, so he could have such a lightning-speed today. It was not shameful for him to lose, after all, Jiang Li would not be able to use such a sword for a long time.

"I want another sword fight. Do you dare?!"

Jiang Li saw the bulging veins on Mo Tiansheng's forehead. He silently retreated to his previous position, holding the spirit sword in his hand, his eyes calm, "Okay then."

So the second sword fight began again.

This time it was Mo Tiansheng who moved first. Jiang Li didn't even move an inch from where he was. Then Mo Tiansheng came in front of him and drew his sword, but Jiang Li's body tilted slightly and he dodged the sword easily.

He did not draw his sword, waiting for Mo Tiansheng to strike out again. He still dodged it easily, but his eyes became a little dazed.

He always did a perfunctory job in every Hidden Sword Peak competition. In fact, he had no idea what the overall level of the disciples of Hidden Sword Peak was now. But now it seemed that they were not much better than those independent cultivators he met in the competition for blessings.

Jiang Li dodged Mo Tiansheng's sword moves so calmly, easily and casually, but in Mo Tiansheng's eyes, Jiang Li in front of him was like a ghost. He clearly looked for the perfect blind spot every time he swung his sword, but he didn't even know how Jiang Li dodged, and every time his sword missed. It was very scary when a sword cultivator's sword missed.

This means that before you strike out with your next sword, your whole body will be full of flaws, but Jiang Li did not strike out with his sword, so he just made fifty moves in vain. Among these fifty moves, there were three swords with the ultimate intention of hidden killing, but Jiang Li still dodged them calmly and indifferently.

There was no sound from the audience anymore. Jiang Li felt that the time was almost up. He dodged another attack from Mo Tiansheng. The next moment, he raised the sword in his hand and whispered, "Stop."

When Mo Tiansheng was about to strike out with the next sword, the hairs on his body stood on end. At this moment, he suddenly realized that Jiang Li's sword had already been across his neck the moment his voice fell into his ears. The coldness of the sword seemed to have frozen his neck. As long as he moved forward a little bit, the sword would cut his throat.

Mo Tiansheng stared blankly at Jiang Li in front of him.
