Why do you always want to be my Taoist partner?

"There are even more shameless ones you haven't seen yet."

Bai Sheng's lips were slightly pursed, and Jiang Li's chin was resting on her breasts. He and Bai Sheng stared at each other for several seconds before Bai Sheng whispered, "Okay...get up quickly."

"No."

"Get up quickly!" Bai Sheng stretched out her hand and pushed Jiang Li's face away. Jiang Li then reluctantly got off Bai Sheng's body and lay beside her. Bai Sheng began to breathe heavily. Jiang Li turned his head to look at her. The girl's previous calmness had disappeared at this moment. Her cheeks were flushed. It was obvious that Jiang Li had not done anything to her yet!

He leaned in and kissed Bai Sheng on her little face.

Bai Sheng didn't have the strength to speak at this moment. After a while, she reached out and covered her burning cheeks.

"Brother Jiang Li...you have turned me into a bad person."

Jiang Li couldn't even refute this statement, so he looked at her profile and said, "It's all my fault."

"I... don't hate it." Bai Sheng's voice was very soft. She slowly loosened her hands that were covering her face, and while Jiang Li wasn't paying attention, she gave him a kiss on the side of his cheek.

Then she buried her little face in Jiang Li's chest and rubbed it several times.

"Evened out."

Chapter 68: Chapter Sharp

The time of the challenge was in the evening.

Jiang Li changed into new clothes and prepared to go to the appointment. Bai Sheng was by his side at the moment, so naturally he went with him. The two of them climbed to the top of the Hidden Sword Sect's mountain together.

But tonight's seemed particularly lively.

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

The sunset in the evening is gorgeous and the light is not dim.

Jiang Li came to the Hidden Sword Sect's special place for the Hidden Sword Peak Sword Competition, but to his surprise, the stage was already full of Hidden Sword Sect's disciples, who were discussing something heatedly.

If it were just that, it would be fine, but Jiang Li also saw that there were several elders of the Hidden Sword Sect sitting in several seats below the stage.

There is Qian Buyun, the great elder of the Hidden Sword Sect, and Zhao Qingshan, the second elder of the Hidden Sword Peak. He used to be half of Jiang Li's master, but because Jiang Li had neglected his cultivation over the years, he was extremely disappointed in him. In the end, he could not withstand the gossip of the crowd and no longer considered Jiang Li as his disciple.

There were also the third elder and the fourth elder, who were both sitting in their seats at this moment.

It was clearly just an ordinary sword-fighting contest among disciples, yet so many people showed up. Jiang Li continued to search among the crowd, and then he saw Yue Ji sitting in the corner. Yue Ji also saw him and raised the corner of her lips towards him.

But to Jiang Li's surprise, there was a woman in an ice-blue palace dress sitting next to Yue Ji.

Mu Bingning.

Mu Bingning was the kind of woman who gave people an inexplicable cold feeling. This temperament seemed to have become stronger in the past four years. Jiang Li just glanced at her and felt as if his eyes were stabbed. Yue Ji was actually sitting side by side with Mu Bingning, and there was an empty seat between the two of them.

Jiang Li whispered to Bai Sheng beside him, "The middle position should be reserved for you."

Bai Sheng's voice became a little timid, "This..."

"Don't be afraid. Brother Jiang Li will deal with Mu Ge as soon as possible. It will be over soon."

So Bai Sheng left Jiang Li's side and walked towards Yue Ji and Mu Bing Ning. Bai Sheng sat between the two women, and for a moment he didn't know who to talk to first, so he lowered his head and remained silent.

Jiang Li arrived here, and all the disciples who were originally talking gradually stopped talking. Jiang Li stopped talking.

He had a mask for external mode. When in external mode, he always had a faint smile on his face and looked very friendly. At this moment, all eyes were on him.

Jiang Li felt quite emotional.

At the beginning, he was still a junior brother in the Hidden Sword Sect, but four years later, he should have been promoted to a senior brother. Unfortunately, his cultivation was too low. On the Hidden Sword Peak, as long as you are strong enough, you can gain respect and admiration.

Jiang Li's gaze fell on Mu Ge on the stage.

His eyes narrowed slightly.

Mu Ge was a little older than him. Jiang Li knew Mu Ge. After all, Mu Ge was one of the few children like him who was brought back from the mountain. Mu Ge was sharpening the sword in his hand at the moment. In fact, his sword was already sharp enough and did not need to be sharpened.

Jiang Li jumped onto the sword-fighting arena and looked at Mu Ge in front of him. According to seniority, he should call Mu Ge "senior brother".

"Senior Brother Mu Ge, when does it start?" Jiang Li asked respectfully.

"As long as you are ready, we can start at any time." Mu Ge put away the whetstone in his hand, gripped the hilt of the sword, and looked up at Jiang Li.

This is a person with a very calm look.

His expression was also very calm, without any trace of emotion. Jiang Li hesitated for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Why did Senior Brother Mu Ge want to discuss swordplay with me?"

"I was not there for the two sword fights between you, Mo Tiansheng and Lin Yu. After returning to the mountain, I heard that your swordsmanship is very powerful, so I wanted to have a sword fight with you."

"I see." Jiang Li nodded slightly, and after a moment he said, "If I remember correctly, Senior Brother Mu Ge and I were both picked up by the sect from the foot of the mountain?"

Mugo nodded slightly, "Yes."

He didn't understand why Jiang Li asked these questions, but he still nodded and answered without any impatience.

Jiang Li asked again, "What is Senior Brother Mu Ge's main sword skill?"

After these words were spoken, there was a little surprise in the audience. Many disciples guessed that Mu Ge had already comprehended the sword intent, but they could not see it, and they were not familiar with Mu Ge, so they did not dare to ask. But now that Jiang Li asked so confidently, many disciples in the audience were full of curiosity.

"Sharp." There was finally a hint of surprise on Mugo's face.

He had realized the sword intent during a training session not long ago, but he had no desire to show off, so not many people knew about it. Jiang Li was therefore aroused by his curiosity, "How did you know this?"

"This question is rather difficult to explain." Jiang Li scratched his head.

"Then there is no need to say anything."

Jiang Li nodded.

After comprehending the sword power, one's perception of this world will become more acute, so he can sense the sword intent on Mugo's body. This is why he wants to ask the other party more questions. He is injured and it is not easy for him to use too much spiritual energy. If he wants to quickly solve the opponent, he has to use the sword power, but it is easy to make the opponent lose his sword heart.

He and the other party both came down from the mountains. They both had no resources to practice until now, which was particularly difficult for the other party. There was no grudge between them, and Jiang Li didn't want him to feel too desperate.

"How long did it take you to realize it?" Jiang Li asked.

"I got a glimpse of the secret six years ago, and finally realized it a month ago." Mu Ge answered calmly. He looked at Jiang Li in front of him, "I remember that you have an innate sword body. How long did it take you to realize it?"

"An hour."

Jiang Li answered frankly.

Mugo's eyebrows couldn't help but twitch.

There was an uproar in the audience because Jiang Li's words were a bit absurd and excessive, as if Jiang Li had just told a joke that he entered the Mahayana stage after practicing for only one hour.

"Are you kidding?" Mugo couldn't help asking.

"No." Jiang Li spread his hands innocently.

Jiang Li had never touched a sword in his previous life, and he had no idea what the innate sword body in this life was. According to the records in ancient books, the innate sword body only made it more likely to comprehend the sword intent, and it was not a particularly rare talent.

So what he said was quite absurd, but that was the fact. Jiang Li had first practiced for a night according to the cultivation method issued by the sect. After the spiritual energy entered his body, the system appeared. It was said that it was activated by the spiritual energy. If he had not been favored by Xuantian Dao Ji Zong, he would never have come into contact with spiritual energy in his life, and he would never have been able to come into contact with the system in this life.

So Jiang Li is really grateful to Xuantian Dao Ji Zong. This place feels like home to him.

When Zhao Qingshan took him in as a disciple and gave him a black iron sword, the first thing he taught him was to think about why he held the sword.

The ideas of my fellow brothers and sisters at that time included holding the sword and eliminating all injustices in the world, becoming the supreme master of swordsmanship, and some had very simple wishes, such as wanting to have enough food and clothing, to protect their loved ones, and to have their thoughts fulfilled.

He thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out, because he felt that holding the sword was meaningless. To be more precise, everything was meaningless, because his concept was still that living to sixty or seventy years old was a very long time, and it would end this absurd life and be a worthy death. But this life was different. If he practiced to the end, he could live for tens of millions of years.

Jiang Li actually felt it was a little scary. If he could really live for tens of millions of years, what a terrifying loneliness that would be.

Life is meaningless, and to feel and to deceive is already the best effort one can make, so he held the sword and thought for an hour. In the end, he did not get the answer, but inexplicably he understood the meaning of the sword.

His sword intent is called Ding Fengbo.

In fact, sword intent should be a bug in this world. In addition to those normal sword intents that are used to increase sword speed or make sword moves more exquisite, Jiang Li has also heard of many inexplicable sword intents. For example, there is one called "Shadowless". After you have mastered it to the extreme, the opponent cannot see where your sword will appear. There is also one called "Heavy Sword". After you have mastered it, your one sword will become thousands of swords. "Chasing Light" is mastered to the extreme, which is close to the speed of light. Mugo's "Sharpness" is supposed to make the sword extremely sharp. Even if you hold a peach branch, it will be like a magic weapon. But Jiang Li couldn't understand the principles of these things at all. It was absurd.

Until he himself understood the meaning of the sword, Ding Feng Bo was a poem he liked very much in the past. Whenever he felt empty, he would feel much calmer when he saw that poem.

"What is your sword intention?" Mu Ge asked.

"I..." Jiang Li was silent for a moment, "You will understand in a moment."

Mugo nodded slightly, "Okay."

The conversation between the two finally ended. Mu Ge clenched the spirit sword in his hand and made a starting sword gesture, while Jiang Li raised his hand calmly, released some spiritual energy, used the spiritual energy as a knife, cut off a branch of a tree under the sword-fighting stage, and then held it in his hand.

Mugo looked at him in confusion.

"My sword is an earth-grade spirit sword, but with the blessing of sword intent, this sword will not be lower than the middle grade of heaven-grade. If you don't have a weapon that suits you, we can both use black iron swords."

Jiang Li just shook his head and said, "Just don't take it lightly."

After saying that, a strange aura began to emerge from his side.

He walked forward slowly, but at this moment Mu Ge in front of him widened his eyes. He sensed an inexplicably familiar aura from Jiang Li. That sharp aura, which seemed to be able to cut human skin, was exactly the sword intent he had been pursuing for six years!

But he didn't accidentally put the sword to such a point! With every step Jiang Li took, the sharp aura seemed to have fallen on his neck, wanting to cut his neck off, and the peach branch in his hand seemed to have become a peerless magic weapon at this moment. Mu Ge had a strange intuition in his heart, as if the peach branch would cut his body completely as long as it fell on him.

This is clearly the feeling he has when he holds the sword!

Jiang Li's pace was neither hurried nor slow. Mu Ge had no time to ask questions at this moment. He clenched the sword in his hand. Both of them used the first move of the Hidden Sword School, the opening move, Chasing the Moon.

The sword tip and the branch drew a crescent-shaped trajectory in the air, and the sword tip and the peach branch touched each other at this moment.

This scene was filled with a sense of absurdity. Everyone thought that the sword would cut off the branch and then the blade would fall on Jiang Li's shoulder, with a flash of blood. But the next second, everyone stared at the stage in amazement.

The branch cut off the sword in Mugo's hand, but the branch also broke immediately. Jiang Li used the remaining half of the branch to easily pierce through Mugo's early Nascent Soul spiritual shield. The half of the branch pierced his shoulder, which was the hand holding the sword.

Jiang Li knew what Mu Ge wanted to ask, so he answered softly, "This is the ultimate of your sword intent, the extent of what you can do."

Chapter 69: Chapter Professor

A gust of wind blew.

There was silence for a long time.

Not only the disciples of the Hidden Sword Sect were speechless, but also Yue Ji, Mu Bingning, and Bai Sheng. The three women were all staring blankly at Jiang Li on the stage. No one had ever thought that this sword fight would have such an outcome.

Mu Bingning's lips moved slightly, and she muttered blankly, "His sword..."

In the past four years, she has been concentrating on practicing sword skills, but in her heart she always regards Jiang Li, who easily killed five Jindan cultivators with two swords in the secret realm of Zhongzhou, as her goal. Now her sword skills have been refined to perfection. She feels that she has surpassed Jiang Li of that year, and Jiang Li has wasted four years of practice. But when she saw Jiang Li's sword at this moment, her hands could not help but tremble.

Yue Ji's expression was relatively normal. She was only shocked for a moment, then she raised the corners of her lips, "Do you really think Jiang Li will waste four years of training because of you? Haha."

Of course, the one she mocked was Mu Bingning. Mu Bingning turned her head and her expression returned to calm. "That's naturally a good thing."

The two women stared at each other from a distance through Bai Sheng, and there seemed to be fireworks burning in their eyes.

The most shocked was Bai Sheng. She originally thought that Senior Brother Jiang Li had at least put in some effort when he was practicing sword skills with her. But seeing his sword at this moment, she probably thought that Senior Brother Jiang Li might not have put in even a little effort when he was practicing sword skills with her.

The most shocked people at this moment were the four elders in the audience.

The Great Elder's expression was very surprised, and also a little uncertain.

The Great Elder's name is Qian Buyun, and Qian Tingsheng is his biological son. Because of this, Qian Tingsheng has been able to enjoy almost endless resources for cultivation since birth, and it was also he who personally taught Qian Tingsheng the swordsmanship.

After all, he is his own son, so he naturally cares about him. He knows that Qian Tingsheng has always been fond of Yue Ji of Tianji Sect, and he had asked him for spirit stones before to give Yue Ji a gift. But he knows very well that with his son's stupid brain, it would be difficult for him to win the beauty. But he only has this one son after all, and his son's biological mother went astray a few years ago because of her unstable foundation in cultivation, and eventually died of her injuries.

He only has this one son, so naturally he hopes to fulfill all of his son's wishes. He has made a lot of contributions to the sect over the years. He originally planned to wait until Qian Tingsheng and Yue Ji's relationship made some progress before trying to find the sect master to arrange a marriage for them. But who would have thought that he had heard some rumors recently that his own son had caused trouble for Jiang Li, who was also a disciple of the Hidden Sword Sect, for Yue Ji.

He knew that Qian Tingsheng sent these sect disciples to practice sword skills with Jiang Li one by one. This behavior was somewhat shameful, but it was not entirely a bad thing to let the other party retreat when faced with difficulties. However, he did not expect that Jiang Li would deal with Lin Pingzhi first, and then come to the Hidden Sword Sect, first defeating Mo Tiansheng, and then defeating Lin Yu with one sword. However, this kid was obviously only at the initial stage of foundation building, and he saw it clearly!

He had no idea why the peach branch he had just held could cut off the earth-level spirit sword in the opponent's hand, but he knew that if he could use this method many times, let alone the Hidden Sword Sect, perhaps this child would be the number one in the entire Xuantian Dao Ji Sect!

Fortunately, fortunately... Fortunately, this child abandoned his cultivation because of a woman, otherwise if his cultivation had also reached the Nascent Soul stage, who knows how terrifying it would be.

Qian Buyun's mood is very complicated now. On the one hand, he hopes that Qian Tingsheng can get what he wants, on the other hand... he already knows that his son, whom he is proud of, is really far behind the other in terms of kendo talent.

Compared to the changeable expression on Qian Tingsheng's face, the second elder Zhao Qingshan who was sitting next to him actually laughed out loud without disguising his laughter.

Jiang Li was once his disciple.

He never hated such a disciple. After all, when Jiang Li was his disciple, he practiced sword very hard. After only a few years of teaching, he became the second best in Hidden Sword Peak. In fact, this was his pride.

As his disciple, Jiang Li usually does not show any disrespect to his master. Instead, he often makes the old man happy. Otherwise, Zhao Qingshan would not have reminded Jiang Li some time ago to be careful in the upcoming Hidden Sword Peak Competition. But Jiang Li's neglect of practice in these years really made him sad. He even had trouble sleeping in the past two years and urged Jiang Li many times, but Jiang Li was stubborn and refused to practice well no matter what.

He clearly has such talent, and if he practices hard he could become the next supreme swordsman. Why would he torture himself to this extent just for a woman?

Zhao Qingshan had mixed feelings of love and hate towards Jiang Li.
