Chapter 5: Damn It, He Silenced Him
“Can’t we go tomorrow?”
“Tomorrow, all new disciples must go to the Ten Thousand Sword Tomb to retrieve their swords. There won’t be enough time.”
Hearing Wen Hongyu’s reminder, Lin Qingyue finally rememberedāright, tomorrow was the sword retrieval plot arc.
Hiss, he suddenly had a brilliant idea.
Since the male lead barely used that good sword anyway, he might as well use it himself. He guaranteed it wouldn’t go to waste.
“I really hope tomorrow comes sooner.”
He was already metaphorically sharpening his blade, ready to go all out.
Ye Zhanxiu felt incredibly gratified. The disciple he had chosen was indeed excellent. Look, so ambitious.
He wasn’t at all like others saidāa bad seed at first glance.
It seemed those were just baseless rumors, not to be trusted. Children who could come to their Guizang Peak were all hardworking children, and how bad could a hardworking child be?
It had been a long time since Ye Zhanxiu had encountered a child with such good talent who was also so willing to join their Guizang Peak.
Although he kept his face stern as always, the disciples could still feel his happiness.
Not just them, even Lin Qingyue, the new disciple, realized that his master wasn’t as serious as he appeared on the surface.
The more he observed, the more interesting he found it. “Shizun, what if this disciple goes to the Ten Thousand Sword Tomb and can’t get a good sword?”
“How is that possible? Since the founding of the Wanjian Sect, no disciple who entered the tomb has ever failed to obtain a sword.”
After saying this, Ye Zhanxiu paused, genuinely afraid his disciple might jinx himself. “We are a great sword sect. If there is no sword suitable for you in the tomb, there is still the Tiangong Workshop to forge one.”
Confirmed. His master was the legendary facial paralysis typeācold on the outside, warm on the inside. His internal monologue was probably quite rich, too.
It had to be said, Lin Qingyue hit the nail on the head.
After the apprenticeship ceremony, led by Wen Hongyu, Lin Qingyue selected a prime location on Guizang Peak for himself. He could see the beautiful scenery, and from the courtyard gate, he had a panoramic view of the green hills, clear waters, and the large plaza.
The thatched cottage nearby didn’t detract from the view; matched together, it actually had a certain novelty.
Elegant. Truly too elegant.
“Little Junior Brother, are you sure you want to choose this spot?” Wen Hongyu asked.
Lin Qingyue nodded without hesitation. “Mn. Does this place belong to someone else, Senior Sister?”
Wen Hongyu: “Not exactly. As long as Little Junior Brother likes it.”
Lin Qingyue liked it so much he didn’t ask further. If no one was here, this was his turf.
Moving into the new house, Lin Qingyue decorated it with a good mood. He had received quite a few things from Qi Yuan and Ye Zhanxiu; he had transformed from a poor boy into someone with minor assets.
Inside his storage bag was the exclusive jade token of Guizang Peak. Entering and exiting, as well as various other aspects of life, would rely on this token in the future.
Lin Qingyue rubbed it; the texture was nice. So far, Guizang Peak seemed pretty good. It just had almost no presence in the original novel, the only one with any presence being Ye Jingxian, that impartial block of ice.
After sighing with emotion for a while, Lin Qingyue continued tidying up the room. He spent most of the day cleaning. After eating, he lay on a rocking chair to digest his food, enjoying the evening breeze.
Suddenly, he saw Ye Jingxian carrying a sword, walking towards his direction. Ye Jingxian glanced at him. Seeing the other party continue coming his way, Lin Qingyue peeked curiously.
Ye Jingxian walked straight past him, heading directly for his own thatched cottage. Lin Qingyue stared, dumbfounded, the piece of straw in his mouth falling out.
Don’t tell him that the Eldest Senior Brother of Guizang Peak actually lived in such a broken thatched hut.
After his shock subsided, Lin Qingyue went back to lying down.
The next day, before dawn.
In a daze, Lin Qingyue felt a chill. He turned over and wrapped his quilt tighter.
What was happening? Who broke into his room?
Lin Qingyue opened his eyes in his groggy state, meeting a pair of impatient eyes.
“Why are you here?”
Disturbing someone’s sweet dreams so early in the morningāwasn’t that a bit rude?
Lin Qingyue frowned. “Eldest Senior Brother, can you knock next time you come in?”
“New disciples need to head to the Sword Tomb.”
If he remembered correctly, the time to go to the Sword Tomb wasn’t until after the Mao hour; people wouldn’t head out until at least seven o’clock.
It wasn’t even light yet. Why was he up?
“Eldest Senior Brother, it’s not time yet.”
“It is time for me.”
What time is it for him? Lin Qingyue was utterly confused. “Eldest Senior Brother, can you speak a few more words? Be a bit clearer? It’s not even dawn yet, you really don’t need to wake me up this early.”
Ye Jingxian: “Shizun asked me to send you to the Sword Tomb to get a sword today.”
“I am up, so you should be up too. When the time comes, I will naturally take you to get the sword.”
Lin Qingyue elegantly rolled his eyes. “Truly, thank you for your hard work, old man.”
“Cultivators must not be overly lazy.”
“Eldest Senior Brother, has really no one ever beaten you up for acting like this?”
“They can’t beat me.”
Lin Qingyue: “…”
Seeing that the person was awake, Ye Jingxian turned around with his sword on his back and left. Lin Qingyue slowly crawled out of bed.
“Eldest Senior Brother, I haven’t eaten breakfast.”
Ye Jingxian paused and looked back. “What does that have to do with me?”
Lin Qingyue raised an eyebrow. “Shizun said to have you send me to get a sword. Naturally, you have to take care of me. Otherwise, I’ll go find Master right now.”
Ye Jingxian frowned slightly. “Keep up.”
“Many thanks, Eldest Senior Brother.”
Along the way, Lin Qingyue kept asking questions.
“Eldest Senior Brother, when you guys went to get swords in the past, what did you encounter in the Sword Tomb?”
“Can I take two swords? I’ve already thought about it. When the time comes, I’ll name one ‘Fellow Daoist, Please Wait’ and the other ‘Careful Behind You’.”
“Eldest Senior Brother, do you know why I want to name them that?”
Ye Jingxian, whose forehead was throbbing from the early morning noise, turned his head, his thin lips parting slightly. “Shut up.”
“Eldest Senior Brother, you haven’t answered my question. Are the names I picked good? If it’s possible, I hope to get two more swords. In that case, one sword will be called Wangcai. Then, I’ll raise a dog. I’ve thought it all through, the dog’s name will be… Mmph… Mmph mmph!”
Lin Qingyue, who was still chattering away, suddenly had his mouth sealed. He had been silenced by Ye Jingxian.
“Mmph mmph… Mmph mmph!”
Damn it, he actually silenced him.
Lin Qingyue’s eyes grew big and round, filled with indignation.
Disregarding everything else, he reached out to tug at Ye Jingxian’s sleeve, pointing at his own mouth to signal him to unlock it immediately.
Ye Jingxian shook off his hand instantly, moving so fast Lin Qingyue didn’t even have time to react.
No, seriously? Silencing him and then flinging him away? Being a cultivator is amazing, huh?!
A grown man being this pettyācareful you don’t find a wife in the future.
He had plenty of backbone.
For the rest of the journey, Lin Qingyue pulled a long face, matching the other’s cold expression, and kept his mouth shut tight.
When the two arrived at the Ten Thousand Sword Tomb, at least half of the people hadn’t arrived yet.
The moment Yun Jinzhou saw Lin Qingyue, he came over.
“Senior Brother Lin.”
His tone still carried excitement. “Senior Brother Lin, you arrived so early!”
Lin Qingyue glanced at him lightly, withdrew his gaze, and continued to stand with his arms crossed.
“Senior Brother Lin, did I offend you in some way?”
