Chapter 121: Run Quickly, Trash
It wasn’t until two days after the competition started that it was Lin Qingyue’s turn to take the stage.
From the moment he stepped onto the stage, he hadn’t lost a single match. His cultivation wasn’t as high as the other Golden Core Senior Brothers, but his sword technique was always unexpected, always allowing him to win narrowly.
His performance was seen by the Sect Leader and all the Peak Masters. Among this batch of disciples, he and Yun Jinzhou had the highest cultivation.
“Senior Brother Ye, your disciple is not bad. I didn’t expect that during the sect trial back then, your youngest disciple wasn’t the most prominent one. Now he has changed a lot; both his comprehension and cultivation are the highest.” Peak Master Jiang didn’t stint on his praise, speaking with a chuckle.
He praised someone, so Ye Zhanxiu praised back. “That child Qianqian has also made obvious progress. Her saber technique has the style of Junior Brother Jiang.”
“Hahahahahaha, is that so? That girl was still clamoring to find someone to duel with a few days ago, asking me if anyone came to challenge her. Everything else is fine, but this temper of hers still needs to be tempered properly.”
Ye Zhanxiu disagreed somewhat with these words. “Junior Brother Jiang, Qianqian’s temperament is quite good.”
Peak Master Jiang just smiled and didn’t speak; only he knew best what his own child was like.
“Senior Brother Ye accepting this disciple is truly as Master said back then; it seems it’s all fate.”
“Junior Sister Su, that child Si Yi has good talent for sword cultivation. Why do you always make him study your medicinal manuals and practice alchemy?”
Someone mentioned Si Yi studying alchemy, and Su Ling didn’t feel there was anything wrong. “That is my disciple. What is wrong with learning alchemy from me?”
Su Ling glanced at them lightly. “Moreover, the child is interested in alchemy and is a good seedling for medical cultivation.”
Although he was a half-demon, his talent was genuinely good. Su Ling was very satisfied and naturally wanted him to be like herself, learning everything he could.
However, hearing her say this, Qi Yuan felt it was truly a waste of the child’s talent.
“Junior Sister Su, he is clearly a sword cultivation genius, yet you make him learn medicine and alchemy. This is wasting his talent.”
Su Ling pursed her red lips, then smiled. “Senior Brother Qi truly cherishes talent, worrying endlessly for the path of the sword.”
Hearing her tone, Qi Yuan’s brow furrowed. “One should cultivate the Dao suitable for one’s talent. What is wrong with that?”
“According to Senior Brother Qi, this Junior Sister is curious: what if one has no talent?”
“Without talent, cultivation itself is difficult. Naturally, one cultivates whatever is suitable.”
Su Ling laughed out loud. She turned to look at Ye Zhanxiu. “Senior Brother Ye, tell us, what if one has no talent?”
Ye Zhanxiu, who was originally just watching the drama, was stunned, then chuckled. “Junior Sister Su, it’s better to respect the child’s wishes.”
Since there was no talent anyway, it was better to live freely.
“Did you hear that? Senior Brother Qi, I actually find Senior Brother Ye’s words somewhat reasonable.”
She suddenly seemed to think of something. “I originally thought Senior Brother Qi would say that since there is no talent, there is no reason to accept them, nor any necessity for their existence.”
As soon as her words came out, everyone realized something was wrong. The Sect Leader understood what she wanted to say and hurriedly smiled to smooth things over. “We’ll discuss these later. Let’s watch the children compete. Everyone has improved a lot; our Sword Sect’s children have a bright future, hahaha. The Three Purities Sect is still a long way from surpassing our sect.”
Su Ling glanced at him. “Senior Brother Sect Leader is quite skilled at smoothing things over (mud-slinging). It seems you’ve done it often.”
After Peak Master Su, who treated everyone equally, finished speaking, Senior Brothers and Sisters from other peaks also spoke up to shift the topic.
Si Yi hadn’t taken the stage just now. Hearing Su Ling’s words, he knew she was venting anger for him. His hands clenched tightly into fists, then relaxed. Letting out a light breath, he lowered his head to look at the ground.
He found Lin Qingyue. “Qingyue, can I switch places with you for the match against Yun Jinzhou?”
Lin Qingyue looked baffled. “Why switch? Besides, it seems we can’t switch anyway.”
“As long as you are willing, I’ll go speak to Master; it should be possible to switch.”
Lin Qingyue: “Since it’s possible to switch, then you just switch with someone else. I happen to want to fight Yun Jinzhou, so I can’t switch.”
“You also want to fight him?” Si Yi asked.
Lin Qingyue raised his eyebrows and nodded. “Mn.”
Not only did he want to fight Yun Jinzhou, but he also wanted to greet him properly. How could a secret beating be enough? There had to be another beating in the open. Cheng Hui had to pay it back, and naturally, Yun Jinzhou couldn’t escape either.
Hearing Lin Qingyue’s words, Si Yi felt he made sense. Switching was switching; maybe he could go to Master.
Yu Qianqian learned that Lin Qingyue was going to fight Yun Jinzhou. Earlier, she had lamented that their ill-fated connection ran deep, but now knowing it was arranged by Uncle-Master Ye, she was also somewhat eager to try.
Lin Qingyue immediately dispelled her thought. “One, two, three people all fighting him—it’s too obvious. Isn’t that blatantly telling others we’re bullying people? Next time, ah, you come next time.”
What he didn’t say was that Yun Jinzhou had already advanced to the Golden Core stage, and Yu Qianqian couldn’t beat him. With so many people, losing then would hurt their self-esteem too much.
Moreover, there was currently no major grudge between them. She was purely doing this out of friendship and simply disliking Yun Jinzhou. Lin Qingyue didn’t wish for her to be like this.
When Ye Zhanxiu said it was arranged, it was truly arranged. Coincidentally, Lin Qingyue and Yun Jinzhou were matched up.
Both went onto the stage and bowed to each other.
“Guicang Peak, Lin Qingyue.”
“Sword Dao Peak, Yun Jinzhou.”
“Please enlighten me!”
Lin Qingyue spoke with a smile. “Junior Brother Yun, please make the first move.”
Hearing this, Yun Jinzhou drew his sword. Lin Qingyue followed suit.
“Dog thief, die!”
He shouted loudly, summoning a sword, then said to Yun Jinzhou, “Junior Brother Yun, don’t mind it. My sword’s name is just this; there is no other meaning.”
In his previous matches, he had used ‘First and Fifteenth’, ‘Nothing Special’, and ‘Amitabha’.
But against Yun Jinzhou, he chose the sword Dog Thief Die. Lin Qingyue chuckled, looking extremely innocent.
Sword in hand, Lin Qingyue stepped forward. after exchanging dozens of moves with Yun Jinzhou, he suddenly spoke up, “You have a vegetable leaf on your front teeth.”
Yun Jinzhou paused. He already found it hard to face people because of the injuries on his face and had thought of many ways to cover them up; having a vegetable leaf on his front teeth was simply impossible.
Lin Qingyue’s other sword came out, and he seized the opportunity to attack from the side. “Aiya, Junior Brother Yun, I was calling my sword.”
If Yun Jinzhou still didn’t realize Lin Qingyue was toying with him now, he would be truly stupid. He hated him so much his teeth itched.
“Senior Brother Lin’s naming sense is truly interesting. With so many swords, Senior Brother couldn’t possibly name them all like this, right? It looks a bit unrefined.”
“Is that so?” Lin Qingyue said indifferently. “No choice, too many swords. Senior Brother is also quite troubled.”
He launched a move, saying to Yun Jinzhou, “Before giving you the sword in Junior Brother’s hand, I also gave it a name.”
“It’s called, Trash, run quickly.”
After speaking, Lin Qingyue looked at him provocatively, extremely smug. Just cursing you, what are you gonna do about it?
