Chapter 8: I’m a Proper Sword Cultivator, So What If I Have a Few Extra Swords?
“Sect Leader, this child has some talent, but look at him, acting so foolishly, actually bewitching the swords inside to fight.”
Ye Zhanxiu: “Elder Su, your words are incorrect.”
Elder Su, feeling he hadn’t expressed himself wrongly: “What is incorrect?”
Ye Zhanxiu: “My little disciple is simply exceptionally gifted.”
Elder Su: “…”
Does he not know the kid has talent? The point is the kid is playing inside.
He turned to the Sect Leader. “Sect Leader, logically speaking, it’s not time yet, and it is the disciples’ freedom as to when they come out. But if this child continues to play like this, the Sword Tomb will be thrown into chaos by him. I see he has chosen a sword, so let him come out.”
Ye Zhanxiu was a bit unhappy hearing this and spoke up to stop it. “Elder Su, seeing so many swords, the child also needs to choose carefully.”
Elder Su: “Peak Lord Ye, he has chosen enough swords. Surely he can’t bring all the swords out.”
Even if he could, Ye Zhanxiu didn’t see it as a problem.
While they were still talking, movement came from the Ten Thousand Sword Tomb.
Everyone, who was still discussing whether to make Lin Qingyue come out immediately, looked towards the sound.
They saw Lin Qingyue coming out of the Ten Thousand Sword Tomb with a pile of swords trailing behind him, walking up to Ye Zhanxiu and the others with a grin.
“Greetings Shizun, Sect Leader, and Elders.”
Elder Su pointed a trembling finger at the swords behind him. “How did you bring these swords out?”
Lin Qingyue looked back with a troubled expression. “Elder, they insisted on following me out. No matter how I tried to stop them, it was useless. This disciple was truly scared; if I didn’t come out, they would have crushed me to death.”
Elder Su felt a blow to his heart. What kind of talk is this? So many swords fighting to recognize him as master, and he’s actually annoyed?!
Ye Zhanxiu was also a bit surprised. He had only thought about it casually, but his little disciple actually did it.
He thought for a long time, only squeezing out one word of praise: “Not bad.”
Lin Qingyue chuckled, responding modestly, “Shizun, it’s alright I guess. Although these swords aren’t exactly great swords, they can barely be used.”
Elder Su’s heart ached even more. “You unappreciative brat.”
How could the swords in the Ten Thousand Sword Tomb be so disdained? How could there be no good swords among so many? Moreover, none of the swords inside were poor quality.
The Sect Leader laughed out loud, teasing, “Junior Brother Ye, you’ve really picked up a treasure this time.”
A hint of a smile appeared on Ye Zhanxiu’s face. “The child does indeed have some talent; he is suitable for our Guizang Peak.”
“Hahaha, hahahaha, Junior Brother Ye, it seems you are truly happy this time.”
Ye Zhanxiu didn’t say whether he was happy or not, but shifted the topic to the swords.
“Sect Leader Senior Brother, since the beginning of the Ten Thousand Sword Tomb, the swords that disciples bring out belong to them. Since Qingyue, this child, was able to bring the swords out, we can’t very well put them back.”
Elder Su disagreed. “Peak Lord Ye, disciples usually only have one sword. This isn’t just one sword, is it? What do you say, Elder Ma?”
Elder Ma was a bit conflicted. Indeed, in their Wanjian Sect, whoever had the ability to bring a sword out got to keep it.
“Peak Lord Ye isn’t wrong.”
Elder Su, not getting Elder Ma’s support, pinned his hopes on the Sect Leader. “Sect Leader, this matter should be treated as a special case.”
Lin Qingyue looked at the swords he brought out, then at the Sect Leader. “Sect Leader Martial Uncle, I went through untold hardships to bring these things out; it took a huge amount of effort. Our Wanjian Sect is such a large sect, surely we won’t go back on our word.”
Rounding up, these swords are all my wives.
Ye Zhanxiu nodded slightly. “Rest assured, your Sect Leader Martial Uncle is the most open-minded; naturally, his words count.”
The Wanjian Sect Leader was a bit caught between laughter and tears. The Wanjian Sect might lack other things, but they didn’t lack swords. A sword obtained by a disciple’s ability naturally wouldn’t be put back.
He smiled. “Rest assured, your swords won’t be put back. What you retrieved is yours.”
With the Sect Leader’s word, the matter was settled. It was useless for Elder Su to feel pity.
Obtaining a pile of swords, Lin Qingyue ran to Ye Jingxian’s side. “Eldest Senior Brother, many thanks for your reminder this morning.”
Ye Jingxian looked sideways. “What, not cursing anymore?”
“Eldest Senior Brother, what cursing?”
He wouldn’t admit it. He was silenced, how could he curse?
This was simply slander!
Ye Jingxian scoffed lightly and didn’t argue with him. Lin Qingyue sighed with emotion, “I am a proper sword cultivator, so what if I have a few extra swords? Those pill cultivators and array cultivators have way more weapons than us.”
Lin Qingyue didn’t listen to him; instead, he looked at his pile of swords with worry. Can I afford to raise so many swords?
“You guys know I’m relatively poor. Let’s get this straight first: in the future, you have to learn to maintain yourselves. If you break, I can’t afford to fix you; I can only put you aside.”
Elder Su took a deep breath, comforting himself. It’s fine, it’s fine. The disciple is ignorant, he doesn’t know the value of goods.
It doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter.
“No matter who had these swords, if they were given to them, they would be cared for meticulously.”
Unable to hold back, Elder Su had unknowingly arrived beside Lin Qingyue, suddenly dropping this sentence in his ear like a ghost.
It scared Lin Qingyue so much he almost jumped. Fortunately, his heart was sturdy now, otherwise, he would have been scared to death by Elder Su.
“Elder, this disciple can hear you even if you speak from over there.” Really no need to run over here to scare me.
Elder Su huffed lightly. “If I was far away, this old man was afraid you wouldn’t hear.”
“Elder, this disciple has sharp ears and keen eyes. Rest assured, my ears are good.”
Lin Qingyue spoke to him with a grin. Elder Su really wanted to take all his swords back, but since the Sect Leader and Ye Zhanxiu were there, he couldn’t really bully a disciple. He just huffed coldly and looked away—out of sight, out of mind.
The time for retrieving swords was fixed. When the time was up, everyone had to come out of the Ten Thousand Sword Tomb.
Among this batch of new disciples, apart from the anomaly Lin Qingyue, the other disciples basically all obtained their own swords. There was one other exception: Yun Jinzhou.
When he learned that Yun Jinzhou had actually come out of the Ten Thousand Sword Tomb empty-handed without choosing a sword, Lin Qingyue wasn’t surprised. Thinking about how he had wanted the Cyan Jade Sword earlier, he immediately felt that things wouldn’t be peaceful next.
As the Taiji Bagua Formation gate closed, Elder Ma asked, “In the Ten Thousand Sword Tomb, you clearly had opportunities to obtain a sword. Why did you come out empty-handed?”
The disciples might not understand the importance of taking a sword from the Sword Tomb, but their own masters understood.
“Did your master not explain it clearly to you?”
As soon as Yun Jinzhou came out, he saw that the Sect Leader and Peak Lord Ye were present. Seeing the Elder suddenly ask, he lowered his head and answered, “Shizun did tell this disciple.”
Elder Su: “Since he told you, why didn’t you take one?”
Yun Jinzhou didn’t answer but looked at Lin Qingyue, then buried his head again.
The people from Sword Dao Peak arrived at this very moment.
“Elder Su, I wonder what mistake my Sword Dao Peak disciple has committed?”
