Oops~ Oh no, it's the Grand Diviner... Let me explain!
Fu Xuan: Hehe.
Fireworks: Well done!
[The scene continues]
After fruitless negotiations, Xing pondered for a moment and decided to go find March 7th. Surprisingly, March 7th actually managed to translate it.
"For example, this sentence."
"Woof woof, woof woof woof woof!" means "Dear anonymous guest, I have found something strange somewhere in Liuyun Ferry Port."
You might be interested in taking a look.
Afterwards, the two followed Di Ting to Liu Yun Du Port.
A jade clasp lay quietly on the ground, its pale green veins shimmering with a bright light, outlining the silhouette of a young boy in the air.
This is Yanqing, General Jingyuan's bodyguard.
[The situation arose suddenly; I was pursuing a wanted fugitive. To prevent losing contact, I left this jade pendant to record my whereabouts.]
After listening to the contents left in the jade clasp, the two then looked through the contents left by Yanqing.
"March 7: Judging from his appearance, he is only eight or nine years old. Such a young child has already become a general's bodyguard. The children on the fairy ship are truly remarkable."
"Yanqing: Miss March 7th is too kind."
"Xing: Who knows, maybe he's old enough to be your grandfather?"
Yanqing: Uh, it's not that bad.
Jingyuan: Yanqing, what's wrong with you...?
"Yanqing: Please rest assured, General, this is just a minor criminal. I, Yanqing, will make sure to arrest him and bring him to justice."
[As the contents of the jade clasp began to play, the video showed Yanqing asking the Cloud Cavalry captain for clues about the blade, but unfortunately, he didn't get any useful information. The conversation exuded the youthful spirit and high spirits of a young man.]
His eyes darted around again, and based on the clues left behind and the records on the star raft at the dock, he decided to start his investigation from the star raft.
Just as Yanqing was about to follow Diting to find the traces of the blade, she discovered a lone white-haired woman.
Jingyuan: This is...
Xing: Wow, what a cold older sister.
Yanqing: Strange, why are there still civilians trapped? The Yunqi cavalry nearby are not doing a good job.
Danheng: ......
"edge:......"
"Mirror Flow: It's been so many years, don't you recognize your old friend? Drinking Moon."
"Danheng: I am not him."
"March 7th: What kind of riddle are you playing?"
"Thank you for saving me, little brother."
"Oh, that's my job. Luofu Port is blocked. Why are you still here alone?"
"I came here on a merchant ship. Recently, the images of several old friends have been swirling in my mind. I want to meet up with them and relive the old days."
Who would have thought Luofu would become so dangerous?
After understanding the situation, Yanqing decided to take her to the nearest Yunqi garrison.
"By the way, have you seen a man in black with long hair? Oh—"
"You...you can't see it? I'm sorry, I thought..."
After introducing themselves, the two set off for the pier.
Bai E: This lady is no ordinary person.
"Thunderclap: Mirror Flow".
"Feixiao: I've heard of this person's great name, and it's a great pity I haven't had a chance to spar with him. However, if I remember correctly, this person should have already fallen into demonic possession long ago."
"Jiaoqiu: General, your memory is accurate. Could it be that even this chronic illness has a cure?!"
"Yanqing: General, who is this elder sister Jingliu?"
[Video continues.]
[The two encountered some demonic entities along the way, but Yanqing dealt with them all using her superb swordsmanship.]
"Little brother, your swordsmanship is quite good."
Yanqing was somewhat surprised. "You...can see?"
"I can hear it. The whooshing sound of flying swords cutting through the air, the sharp cutting sounds—these traces subtly reveal the quality of swordsmanship."
As the two talked, Yanqing began to have doubts about him, until she found a starship that was still in operation.
"Alright, I've finished my business. Now it's time to take my sister to a safe place."
"Even nowadays, the Cloud Cavalry's base can hardly be considered safe."
"Yes, so instead of going to the Cloud Cavalry's garrison, we'll send you directly to the Dark Prison with food and lodging provided, and heavy guards ensuring your absolute safety."
Chapter 5 Do you want to take my sword?
(An extra chapter today. I have a favor to ask of you readers: please point out any typos. I will correct them. Please don't leave no comments... I will read them. This book was written with my heart, but writing too much makes me dizzy and my head spins. However, I don't want to find the book riddled with typos in the end...)
March 7th: Huh? What's going on? Why are they suddenly fighting? We don't understand anything!
"Himeko: From this young master Yanqing's perspective, this Lady Jingliu is indeed very suspicious..."
"Walter: However, this Yanqing Xiaowei's actions were indeed somewhat reckless without ascertaining the opponent's strength."
"Jingyuan: Mr. Walter is right. Yanqing is still young and needs more training."
"Yanqing: Hmph, there is indeed a problem. However, please rest assured, General, I am confident that I can take down this kind of cowardly character."
Jingyuan: ..."
"However, General Feixiao seemed to have mentioned something about this person earlier... apparently, he's a famous person? Perhaps he knows some swordsmanship, but he shouldn't be stronger than me, otherwise I would have heard of him..." Yanqing muttered to himself, but didn't take it too seriously. After all, he didn't think that anyone he randomly encountered would be stronger than him...
"Little brother, there should be an explanation for taking someone's life," Jingliu said, his expression unchanged.
"Suspicious behavior, hiding one's head and tail, that's enough."
You don't think I'm easy to fool just because I'm a child, do you?
Putting aside the blockade of the port, how did an extra stranded passenger suddenly appear?
As you walked along, I noticed your steps were steady; you didn't look blind at all.
As for swordsmanship, you can just listen to what it says and it sounds reasonable, that's fine.
"You can even rattle off the number of times I can fly on a sword. That kind of knowledge is something ordinary people don't possess. You're not blind, are you?" Yanqing said smugly.
"I never said I was blind. You just assumed it because I was wearing a black veil over my eyes."
After some conversation, upon learning that Kagami's target was also Blade, he didn't react much, but when he heard—
"You are no match for me, and therefore no match for Blade. With me by your side, you won't die in vain, little brother."
"Hmph, how can you know who will win before the sword's edge is drawn? I advise you not to underestimate my sword." Yan Qing's tone turned unfriendly.
"March 7th: So that's how you figured it out? Hey, Xing, what kind of look is that? Do you think I'm stupid?!"
"Elio: Tsk tsk tsk, the legend of the immortal ship's invincibility begins~"
Yanqing: ? What does this mean?
Jingyuan: Yanqing...sigh~
Jingliu proposed testing the swordsmanship on the monstrous creatures, seeing who could kill more. If she lost, she would go to the prison with Yanqing for trial; if she won, she would have to share the blade's whereabouts with her.
[Yanqing finally agreed. After making preparations, Jingliu asked Yanqing to go first. Yanqing did not refuse, took two steps forward, and then turned around.]
"By the way, you wouldn't be taking this opportunity to run away, would you, big sister?" Yanqing asked, a smile playing on her lips.
"Jingyuan has really corrupted you, all you do is talk nonsense," Jingliu said, shaking his head with a hint of helplessness.
In reality, inside the Shence Palace, Jing Yuan looked at the content on the screen, and a bead of cold sweat involuntarily seeped from his forehead.
However, having just dealt with one scoundrel, Yanqing confidently turned around.
"Where are you? When did you run ahead?" Yanqing turned around again.
"You're so slow, little brother."
As the competition progressed, Yanqing grew increasingly shocked. In the end, when Yanqing finally caught up with her, she deliberately left behind a wretched creature as a form of entertainment for him.
"I'll give you three moves. Draw your sword; it would be very impolite to keep you waiting, senior."
"Looking ahead and behind, your strength and power are waning. Where has your confidence gone?"
"My turn. It must be like this: a single, decisive strike, a guaranteed kill." Jingliu's voice began to change.
[“Jing Yuan taught you how to slay evil creatures, but did he teach you how to deal with the Immortal Ship people who have fallen into demonic possession? The answer is no difference; a single sword strike pierces their vital organs, severing their life force.”]
"If this sword were to strike you, could you block it?" The change in Jingliu's tone and expression instilled a strong sense of unease in Yanqing.
"Do you think swordsmanship is just a game of winning and losing? The future Sword Master?" Jingliu's tone turned cold again.
"Enough!" Yan Qing shouted, as the last of the monstrous creatures collapsed.
"Only that one sword strike just now wasn't utterly disappointing."
"I lost." Yan Qing's eyes were slightly lowered, and the three words seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth.
"The contest is not over yet, for before I could even unleash my final strike, there are no more opponents left on the field. To draw my sword and achieve nothing would be to blaspheme the divine will of the Emperor of Bows and Destiny, an ominous sign."
"You!" Yan Qing clenched his fists, staring intently at her.
"With your strength, even if you encounter a blade, you'll only face certain death. Rather than an imminent demise, I offer you a more dignified choice—to die as a swordsman after witnessing my meticulously crafted sword strike."
"Little brother, do you want to take my sword?" Jing Liu's tone was chilling, and a cold killing intent emanated from his body.
Yanqing's forehead was covered in cold sweat, his teeth were clenched, and it seemed that there was only one option in his mind—not to accept!
