Chapter 481: Tanqiu Afraid to Fight?

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

Jueyu, opposite her, didn’t attack. He just casually threw the black broadsword to the side with no intention to keep it for sentimental value.

Although he had nourished this sword for a long time, it was more or less useless now. There seemed to be only a small chip on the sword blade, however, there were many hidden damages to the sword body.

He always used the great extinction sword to destroy other peoples’ weapons. He didn’t expect that his spiritual weapon would have a day when it was destroyed by others.

Then, he squinted his eyes and sized up Chuxue, like he was getting to know this innocent girl from scratch.

“The common people path has loads of talents. I have learned from this battle. Although I won, I lost…”

He stood on the spot, and his expression was calm, unlike that of a loser.

No matter how much one hated him, one had to admit that he was magnanimous.

“Miss Chuxue, who taught you your 1st sword? Before this, I have never seen anything like it. I didn’t know that common people path had such a sword technique!”

Chuxue gave out an “ah”, coming back to her senses. This was the first time someone had called her ‘miss’ and she couldn’t adapt to it. The ten thousand over eyes also made her feel really out of place.

She didn’t think much about it in her mind, replying in a silly manner, “My young master taught it to me…”

When she said those words, pretty much everyone’s heartstrings moved. It wasn’t the few common people path elders who taught this girl to such a realm, but instead Tanqiu…

Speaking of which, this Xuechu seemed to be the maidservant of that person. If the servant was already so strong, what about the master?

Before this, his impression of Tanqiu was only of that of a person who used 800 common people, mysterious dragon warriors, to defeat the purple cloud sword cavalry in the Black Spirit Canyon.

In the end, he defeated a grade 7 as a grade 6, 201 swords to defeat Ji Lingzi from Tailing Sect. He defended the first 200 swords and attacked on the last sword, winning in one sword. Which was how he got famous in the world.

However now with Chuxue under him, the impressions the others had of Tanqiu were instantly really indiscernible and unclear.

“Tanqiu?” Jueyu’s brows rose, his expression calming down once more, “With no effort, like a celestial from another world. Without this sword, Miss Xuechu wouldn’t have broken through to grade 7 so smoothly. How amazing! Then the set of sword techniques was also taught to you by your young master?”

Only at this moment was Chuxue shocked to her senses, like it was better if other people don’t find out about this matter. She decisively shook her head, “I won’t tell you!”

Jueyu smiled, looking at her expression he could already confirm things. He then looked towards Fangwen as well as space above, “Palace head Fang, I came this time for Tanqiu. I have sent the challenge, so why do you reject me. Is it because your first seat Tanqiu is afraid to fight?”

The people around were all startled, following which their expressions became weird.

Since that Tanqiu could teach and nurture Chuxue, then no one would doubt the sword path attainments of this Tanqiu.

At this moment no one would feel that Tanqiu was being afraid to fight. They also knew that Jueyu said those words to provoke common people’s path to agree.

However, be it the common people path disciples or the people watching on, their eyes were filled with anticipation, quietly waiting for Fangwen to reply. They all wanted to see the shine of the common people path first seat.

Amongst them, people like knife lord Li Wuhui, their eyes were sharp, forcing down on Fangwen.

The battle between Chuxue and Jueyu was phenomenal and exciting. However, the former was relying more on instinct. The latter was unable to defend, losing out on the initiative, unable to turn back the battle.

That was why it couldn’t be considered a peak martial path battle. If Tanqiu could fight, then this common people vast habitat would be worth the trip.

Chuxue couldn’t help but feel furious, “My young master isn’t afraid to fight!”

Thinking about it, she couldn’t give any persuasive explanation. She could only find a random reason, “He can’t be bothered! You can’t even beat me. Young master won’t fight with you!”

At the start she stammered whilst the more she said the more confident she got.

Jueyu shook his head, waving his sleeves, “Miss Chuxue this is between your young master and I. Naturally the common people palace head and your young master will decide. It has nothing to do with you miss…”

Chuxue was furious and was just about to say something. Only to hear Fangwen suddenly say, “Junior sister Xue you can return!”

Chuxue was helpless, only unwillingly acknowledging it. However, the moment she turned around, she saw that numerous gazes were focusing on her.

…Gratitude, envy, shock, happiness.

Chuxue was first stunned. Then she flushed red–a little embarrassed but a little gleeful.

She hesitated for a moment before she acted like she didn’t see anything as she walked forwards. She learned from Zong Shou, acting calm like she didn’t care about anything as she walked back.

Suddenly she understood what the weird phrases like “cool” which Zong Shou always said meant.

She felt a floating feeling in her heart, totally distracted. Chuxue suddenly felt a spiritual energy current explode beneath her feet, like the residue power from the sword just now hadn’t calmed down.

She didn’t take a stable footing, falling forwards and onto the ground.

At that moment the entire place was silent.

Chuxue’s eyes felt warm, her eyes watering up as she looked in the sky. Tears welled up, nearly crying out.

She thought to herself: Young master, you said that the unlucky things would happen 6 hours later! You lied to me! This is so embarrassing. How will I live?

Fangwen was in mid-air, and the corner of his lips twitched. He took a moment before being able to suppress his laughter. He had a solemn expression, looking below without making a sound.

“Young master Jue although you made a challenge, junior brother Tan not accepting it is a matter between the sect and him. It is not up to you. The battle today has ended, my common people path has no one left. If you want to train your sword you can challenge other sect and you can leave now…”

When Jueyu heard that his brows furrowed. Following which he laughed, “My personality is good, however, there are 2 things that people see as my problem. One is that I am a sword idiot and the other is that I am stubborn. If I decided on something I won’t give up halfway. Even if the first seat and common people path don’t agree, I will wait here. I will wait until you agree!”

After saying that, he stood on the spot, closing his eyes. He didn’t make a sound and didn’t move at all.

Fangwen’s eyes focused, he then laughed coldly, “Since you want to wait here, then go ahead!”

After finishing, he was lazy to continue talking with this Jueyu. He flung his sleeves and walked back into the common people palace.

At this moment, in the building above, Hanfang laughed as he stood up from the rocking chair. “Junior brother Zong, are you interested in fighting with this Jueyu?”

Zong Shou knew that the old man would ask that, curling up his lips, “The sect isn’t afraid I would be an embarrassment?”

“It is okay!” Hanfang was resolute and decisive, magnanimously waving his hand, “With Chuxue’s battle in front there is nothing we need to be afraid of!”

Even if he lost, with Chuxue’s previous battle none of the many powers in the world would dare to belittle common people path.

Zong Shou laughed involuntarily, thinking to himself that this was the typical burning the bridge after one crosses. This was so heartless!

“Because there was her in front which is why I don’t dare to attack. If I am weaker than her then what would happen to my face?”

Zong Shou gave a self-mocking laugh. However, he didn’t care much.

At this moment Hanfang also asked casually, “Since you know that you are even weaker than your maidservant then why are you still trying for dharma? Oh right, a few days ago your name has risen one spot in the mysterious golden life book. What changes happened in your cultivation recently?”

Zong Shou was shocked. He didn’t know about that. Following which he replied vaguely, “There is a change, senior brother will know in the future!”

After he spoke he stood up and walked outside of the building, “Remember 3 million merit points! Not a single but less…”

The corner of Hanfang’s eyes twitched. Following which it seemed like Zong Shou recalled something, suddenly turning his head, “Oh right! Senior brother I forgot I got an ounce of snow leaf tip that I didn’t take. Senior brother won’t go back on your words right?”

Hanfang was instantly furious, grabbing a teacup on the side and throwing it towards the door, scolding out, “Scram!”

This fellow stole an entire bottle of spiritual wine, 7 red jade spirit containing fruits. He had the face to ask him for snow leaf tip, how preposterous!

Zong Shou laughed, he didn’t feel disappointed at all, turning around and leaving.

He used his spiritual sense to cover his face. At this moment most of the common people path disciples were still standing at their original spots, immersed in the rhythm of the battle that just ended. No one noticed him which was why he was able to walk silently back into the common people bast habitat.

There were already many of them who returned, in groups they chatted.

“What a waste! Tanqiu, first seat isn’t willing to fight. If not we would defeat this Jueyu.”

“In the past when I looked at great great senior master Xuechu, she seemed blur and dumb. Who knew that she was so amazing. Combat martial body, martial arts, and spirit merging into one. I’m envious. This battle is enough to destroy the flames of that Jueyu!”

“With such a servant, one can imagine how strong the master is. Who knows when we will manage to see the first seat’s sword technique.”

Zong Shou’s lips curled up, his mood was really good. However, it wasn’t like there wasn’t any unhappiness within.

“It wasn’t without logic that Jueyu said that Tanqiu was afraid. Speaking of which the cultivation of the first seat hasn’t changed in over a year.”

“Before today who knew about Xuechu’s talent? Spirit and martial arts merging into one, combat martial body, this is given by the heavens. To say that Tanqiu taught her everything and nurtured her is thinking a little too highly of him…”

“That Jueyu has already restricted his internal energy so what does first seat Tan even have to worry? Even if he lost if he could be like Chuxue, then even if he loses it would be glorious!”

Zong Shou rubbed his temples and broke out into a laugh. He was lazy to bother, heading back casually towards 1st courtyard A.
