Chapter 1912
Chapter 1912: Chapter 1505: Becoming the Little Demoness's Guard_2 Chapter 1912: Chapter 1505: Becoming the Little Demoness's Guard_2 This caused Jiang Hao quite some trouble; if it was not for his sufficient cultivation,
and having learned the nameless manual, it might have been very difficult to restrain the emotions leaking in his eyes.
He couldn't act as an emotionless guard like before.
As twilight was about to fall, Heavenly Note Sect suddenly stood up, looked behind at the two people, and smiled: “This is not the palace, you don't need to go easy on me, keep being my sparring partners.”
By this time, the aura about her had greatly progressed.
“We, being of the same rank, are no match for the princess,” the woman spoke again.
“Then don't use the same rank, just make sure I'm not defeated easily, figure out the rest by yourselves,” Heavenly Note Sect said.
As soon as her words fell, she grasped her hand, holding a clearly visible saber.
Then, with a slash, she struck.
Clang!
The woman drew her saber and blocked Heavenly Note Sect's attack.
Jiang Hao retreated a bit with the remaining force of their strikes.
He then stood still, watching them fight.
Heavenly Note Sect's saber was not very fast; these saber moves still had some flaws.
Should he point them out if he were to be the sparring partner?
After hesitating for a long time, Jiang Hao decided to give up.
He had borrowed saber techniques from Heavenly Note Sect; after all, it was he who learned from her,
not the other way around.
There was no need to do these meaningless acts; let her comprehend and feel that sense of achievement and joy by herself.
Being pointed out would always carry the shadow of someone else.
Watching Heavenly Note Sect wielding her saber, he could feel a certain confidence in her.
Full of vigor.
As she swung her saber, the surrounding sword's intent seemed to come alive, flowing along with Heavenly Note Sect's movements.
The woman kept retreating, struggling to withstand.
It wasn't that she lacked the strength to withstand, but the sword and intent were difficult to manage.
Boom!
The woman was pushed back, and then Heavenly Note Sect charged towards Jiang Hao.
Facing her saber that was within an arm's reach, Jiang Hao slightly grasped the saber scabbard,
Then tilted his head to dodge the strike.
However, her saber hesitated not, as it came slashing horizontally.
Clang!
With a slight flick of his thumb, the saber was drawn from its scabbard, steadily catching the strike.
Clang!
Clang!
Heavenly Note Sect kept slashing, Jiang Hao gripping the drawn saber, strongly fending off without using more strength than his body allowed.
Only trying to resist in his current state.
As he resisted, Heavenly Note Sect got increasingly excited, as if there was an inexplicable thrill in facing strong opponents.
Sword lights and saber shadows, strength disseminated.
Until darkness fell.
Jiang Hao retreated some distance,
Looking at his saber, now full of cracks, he remained silent.
He hadn't lost, but Heavenly Note Sect's face was covered with beads of sweat.
She seemed tired from the fighting, but had learned a great deal.
Thus, Jiang Hao sheathed his saber, and silently stood there.
After resting for a while, Heavenly Note Sect stood up and said: “Let's go take a walk in the city.”
Saying this, she led the way into the city.
The place was brightly lit, even more bustling than during the day.
Then, Heavenly Note Sect came to the front of an inn and said, “Let's have a look inside.”
Jiang Hao was slightly curious, then followed her inside.
Upon entering, they heard the slamming of a table.
“Last time, we talked about how Young Master Cheng failed the examination and chose to enlist in the army, and the princess who fell in love with him at first sight dressed as a man and enlisted with him.
“They referred to each other as brothers.
“Now, let's talk about what they face after joining the army, and whether they can recognize, understand, and stay with each other.”
Jiang Hao felt strange hearing this voice.
Then he saw Heavenly Note Sect's eyes brighten, seemingly she had been waiting a long time.
Finally, the follow-up story.
Jiang Hao: “….”
She started listening to these at the age of ten?
This was beyond his expectations.
He had thought it would only be after growing up that one would be curious and yearn for such tales.
Much later, tonight's story time ended.
The conclusion was, the princess was about to reveal her identity and her feelings, but unexpectedly, the enemy country's princess came over, saying she wanted to take Young Master Cheng back as the prince consort.
Otherwise, she would flatten the border.
To know what happens next, naturally, you need to listen to the next part.
Heavenly Note Sect was somewhat angry: “Why end it here? These storytellers are so annoying, always stopping at the climax.
“Do you think he's hateful or not?”
Heavenly Note Sect clenched her fists, seeming ready to draw a saber on the storyteller at any moment.
“Detestable.” The woman nodded in agreement.
Upon hearing this, Heavenly Note Sect nodded satisfactorily and then turned to Jiang Hao asking, “What about you?”
Me?
I can't speak, for speaking might invite trouble.
Thus, he maintained his silence before the person in front of him.
“Humph! Mute,” Heavenly Note Sect expressed her dissatisfaction: “I'll go find the State Preceptor later and have her issue a new order that you must answer my questions.”
Upon returning to the capital, Jiang Hao headed back to his own dwelling.
It was a secluded courtyard.
It was vast, and people like him were all here.
Cultivating, comprehending, each person was busy.
Jiang Hao found his room and quietly waited for the next task.
Only then did he understand that he was raised to be a death warrior.
A death warrior is best without emotions.
The next day.
Jiang Hao received a notification; the State Preceptor summoned him.
The State Preceptor of the Tianji Dynasty was the one responsible for training death warriors.
It was said the State Preceptor was the person most trusted by the Emperor.
Shortly, Jiang Hao arrived at a courtyard.
He was quickly brought before a woman in a Daoist Robe, who appeared to be in her mid-twenties with her hair up, resembling a married woman.
Jiang Hao bowed his head in greeting.
“Tian Liu, we meet again.” The State Preceptor smiled as she spoke.
Jiang Hao merely bowed his head without a word.
“You need to learn to speak. Otherwise, people always come to report to me, as you know I'm quite annoyed by her,” the State Preceptor said with a smile.
Jiang Hao remained silent.
He didn't know.
He had no emotions; he knew nothing.
“You people just don't like to speak, but listening, observing, and talking is not such a big issue,” the State Preceptor sighed: “I don't hope to see her running here to complain again. You lose, she comes to complain; you don't talk, she comes to complain.
“After all she has come dozens of times.
“Be a bit more clever.”
Jiang Hao bowed his head, indicating understanding.
“Good that you understand,” the State Preceptor smiled: “Also, you've completed the third form of the Moon-Slaying saber technique. Go find your captain to learn the fourth form.
“When you're with the Princess, if there's danger, you'll need to execute the fourth form.”
Jiang Hao nodded, still without a word.
“Still not speaking, huh? Well, I've never heard you speak; go find your captain then,” the State Preceptor shook her head ruefully.
Tian Liu, as Jiang Hao left, felt that this was his name.
Although he didn't know his own name, these two words instinctively made him react.
When stepping out, Jiang Hao saw Heavenly Note Sect entering.
“State Preceptor, I'm here again,” she said excitedly.
“You may leave; I don't really want to see you,” the State Preceptor stated with distaste.
“No, I want you to keep me company,” Heavenly Note Sect coaxed: “Tell me about how you got married.”
Jiang Hao stepped away, not stopping.
Upon returning home, Jiang Hao, driven by a feeling, arrived at a yard and gently knocked.
“Come in,” a deep voice sounded from within.
Jiang Hao opened the door and saw an elderly man focusing on the Heavenly Blade Secret Manual.
Hearing someone enter, he slightly raised his eyebrows, then smiled, “Tian Liu, recently you have been following the Princess with Tianwu, so you need to learn the fourth form?”
Jiang Hao looked at the manual in the man's hands, realizing the man was quite old.
His lifeblood was starting to dry up, yet he still studied the Moon-Slaying saber.
Seeing Jiang Hao's gaze, the captain smiled, “I still lack the talent, only learning up to the fifth form in my lifetime.
“Those who can reach the sixth form are very few.
“I won't live many more years; comprehending the sixth form would make me die without regrets.
“Come, let me teach you the fourth form.”
Jiang Hao nodded, again without speaking.
“When the Moon-Slaying technique first appeared, only a few knew it, then the Emperor learned it and passed it to us.
“He mentioned that the seventh form of the Moon-Slaying saber technique might still have an unknown style.
“Unfortunately, over countless years, no one has comprehended it.
“Not until the Princess was born, everyone felt, perhaps the Princess is the one to grasp the final form.
“Nowadays, the Princess has already learned the second form, one day, she will execute the seventh form.
“I just don't know if I'll live to see that day,” the captain sighed.
Jiang Hao lowered his brows, the seventh form does not exist.
At least not in this era.
Heavenly Note Sect ultimately failed.
That was the most frustrating moment of her life.
