The Venerable Swordsman

Chapter 14 A Brother Should be Like This!

Carrying his sister on his back, Ye Xuan walked for a short time and suddenly, he stopped.

Not far from him, stood three people!

They were Jiang Nian and the other two!

Jiang Nian and the other two walked up to Ye Xuan, and Jiang Nian smiled slightly, “The three of us have come over to send Childe Ye off!”

Ye Xuan put down his sister and cupped his hands toward the three men. “Thank you!”

Jiang Nian smiled, took out a white jade bottle and handed it to Ye Xuan. “There are altogether 30 Life Nourishing Dan Pills in this bottle, which is a small gift from our three families, please accept it!”

The Life Nourishing Dan Pills!

Ye Xuan looked at the three people, feeling puzzled.

As if he knew of Ye Xuan’s confusion, Jiang Nian said with a smile, “Pardon me for speaking frankly, the three of us would like to have a good relationship with Childe Ye. Although Childe Ye no longer belongs to the Ye Family, Childe Ye still belongs to Qing City. When you leave here, if you become famous in the future, we probably can benefit from associating with you!”

Ye Xuan took the white jade bottle, and then gave them a little salute, “Thank you!”

Although he didn’t want to owe them a favor, he really needed these Life Nourishing Dan Pills. He was willing to owe others a favor no matter how big it was if it was for his sister!

At this time, Li Yu suddenly said, “Is Childe Ye going to the Imperial Capital?”

Ye Xuan nodded. “I am going to Cangmu College in the Imperial Capital!”

Smiling slightly, Li Yu waved his right hand. Soon, a carriage ran towards him from the city.

Li Yu smiled and said, “It will be a long way to the Imperial Capital. If you walk on foot, I’m afraid the journey will take you more than half a year. You siblings can take the carriage to Thousand-Mountain City first where you can take a Cloud Ship to the Imperial Capital. One month later, it is exactly the enrollment season of Cangmu College, so you should be there just in time.”

After Li Yu finished, Zhang Lie took out a money bag and a scroll and handed it to Ye Xuan. “Childe Ye, this is also a little token from my heart. When you go to the Imperial Capital, you will incur all kinds of expenses. Although it is not much, it should be enough to meet your needs in an emergency. And this scroll is a map which is marked with some dangerous places, you should never go through these places.”

Ye Xuan looked at the three people, then he made a bow with hands folded in front. “I will always remember your kindness today. There will be ample time, and I will repay you for your kindness. Farewell!”

When he finished, he packed up his things and then carried his sister into the carriage.

Soon, Ye Xuan and his sister disappeared from their sight!

Looking at Ye Xuan and his sister disappearing in the distance, Li Yu suddenly whispered, “Will this person be grateful?”

Jiang Nian smiled, “Did you see his sister?”

Hearing this, they instantly understood.

Jiang Nian looked at the increasingly blurry carriage in the distance and whispered, “This person is resolute in action. He is never a soft-hearted person and is tough. If the Ye Family had this person, I am afraid that we would have to keep our head down for countless years in the future. Fortunately, the group of idiots in the Ye Family actually chose to support the chosen one. Even if they wanted to support this chosen one, they should not have suppressed the other genius! Now, it’s great, they forced him to sever ties with the Ye Family! The great elder and the Patriarch of the Ye Family are truly stupid!”

Li Yu smiled, “But for us, it is a great thing, isn’t it?”

Jiang Nian smiled, “Of course!”

Zhang Lie suddenly smiled and said, “You two, as to this pie called the Ye Family, how do you think it should be divided?”

Li Yu said with a laugh, “Naturally, we can divide it however we like. Let’s go back and divide this big pie!”

The three turned and left.

At the other side, on a mountain, a woman holding a long spear gazed at the carriage running underneath.

This woman was An Lanxiu!

Behind An Lanxiu, there stood an old man with a wooden walking stick.

An Lanxiu said, “Mr. Ling, what do you think?”

The old man glanced at the carriage and said, “Judging from the previous movements in his fight with you, this Childe should have experienced numerous life and death battles. As for his swordsmanship, I still cannot tell who is his tutor. But one thing is certain, he is already a Sword Cultivator.”

Speaking of this, he hesitated, and then said, “Miss, he is good, but you are from two different worlds, and after all, you have been on the Warrior List!”

The Warrior List!

In the whole Qing Continent, there were hundreds of small countries, four or five big countries as well as some hidden aristocratic family and clan sects. All the juniors of these forces had a common goal, it was to get on the list!

The Warrior List was the most valuable and authoritative list in the whole Qing Continent. The ones who could have their name on the list must be the most gifted geniuses and the greatest marvels!

In the whole Jiang Country, only two people were on the list!

One of them was An Lanxiu!

An Lanxiu glanced at Mr. Ling and smiled a little. “Mr. Ling thinks that I have a crush on him because I gave him my jade pendant as a present. You were afraid that I would be touched?”

Mr. Ling had never thought that this lady from his family would speak in such a straight-forward way, so immediately he bowed his head slightly and stopped speaking.

An Lanxiu looked at the carriage that had disappeared at the end. “Mr. Ling, you misunderstand me. I asked for your opinion of him before. I was not asking what his talents were, but what kind of person he was.”

Hearing her words, Mr. Ling’s brows frowned.

An Lanxiu chuckled, “A brother should be like this!”

After that, she turned and floated away.

Staying at the same place, Mr. Ling was silent for a long time, then he turned and left.

…

Ye Xuan was driving his carriage. Beside him, Ye Ling held his arm tightly.

Ye Xuan took a look into the distance and then took out the map that Zhang Lie gave him. He glanced at the map and frowned, because he had never been out of Qing City and suddenly found that this world was truly a big one!

They had been traveling for nearly four hours, but they were still within the boundary of Qing City. Besides, at their present speed, it would take them at least four or five days to arrive in Thousand-Mountain City!

Ye Xuan did not choose to push on with their journey, because it was getting dark and he did not dare to drive into the remote mountains with his sister late at night.

If he was alone, he would be fearless. After all, he used to fight with people in the mountains. But now, he dared not act so outrageously with his sister around!

In the sky, the moon and stars were distant and deep.

By the campfire, Ye Xuan and Ye Ling were sitting together. Above the campfire, there was a half-cooked turkey that was prepared for them in the carriage by Li Yu and the others.

Glancing around, Ye Ling found that except for the place where they stayed, it could be said that the surroundings were pitch black because the moon in the sky was covered with dark clouds now.

It was peculiarly quiet all around!

Ye Ling clung to Ye Xuan tightly, and Ye Xuan smiled gently, “Don’t be afraid!”

Saying this, he glanced around, “How familiar it all was!”

Familiar!

Ever since he became the Heir Apparent, on behalf of the Ye Family, he often vied for the mines with juniors from the other two families. Their battlefields were often deep in the mountain forests like this. He was quite familiar with forests and he was accustomed to having life and death battles with enemies in the dark!

Ye Ling looked at Ye Xuan with her head tilted, “Brother, I am not afraid when you are here!”

Ye Xuan gently rubbed Ye Ling’s little head. “It’s nice that you are not afraid. You should remember that even if heaven falls, brother will hold it first!”

Ye Ling smiled sweetly.

After the siblings ate the turkey, Ye Ling fell asleep in no time.

Ye Xuan carried Ye Ling into the carriage. Then he sat down with his legs crossed and entered the Prison World Tower.

The battle he had with An Lanxiu before he left the Ye Family gave him a profound understanding!

After seeing his opponent’s speed, reaction ability, and battle awareness, he found that he still had plenty of shortcomings.

Ye Xuan did not practice with the shadow, but recalled every detail in his previous battle with An Lanxiu!

In the beginning, he was recalling, but gradually, he began to imagine what An Lanxiu would do… It should be said that he was learning from An Lanxiu and also was rethinking his previous choices of his timing and angle of his sword strikes.

After two hours, Ye Xuan suddenly stood up, and then he began to practice the sword!

Practicing alone!

No, it should be said that he imagined an enemy who was exactly like An Lanxiu!

He didn’t know how long it took, Ye Xuan suddenly put away the sword and sat on the ground with a slight smile hanging on his mouth.

“Have you learned anything?” The mysterious woman said out of the blue.

Ye Xuan nodded. “In the previous battle between her and me, my first strike shouldn’t be like that. Just because of the failure of my first strike, I was suppressed after that. If I didn’t decide promptly to throw my sword away, I wouldn’t even be able to fight back!”

The mysterious woman said, “You can understand this, very good!”

Ye Xuan glanced up, “Predecessor has known this for a long time, right?”

The mysterious woman said, “What does it matter to you if I knew it already? Only by comprehending something on your own will it become yours. There is no practical meaning if it is told by others!”

Ye Xuan nodded slightly, “I’ve learned!”

After cultivating for a while, Ye Xuan left the Prison World Tower. He glanced at Ye Ling who was sleeping soundly already, smiled gently, and then he got out of the carriage.

At this time, it was late at night!

At this moment, Ye Xuan’s brows suddenly wrinkled. He turned his head to the right, from which there was a rush of footsteps coming!

Soon, a woman appeared before Ye Xuan!

The woman was about 25 or 26 years old. She had a seductive and fascinating face, wearing a very revealing tight-fitting dress with her white chest exposed. On the body of the woman, there were several wounds!

Seeing Ye Xuan, the woman blanked out a little. In a flash, she suddenly ran to Ye Xuan’s side. “This Childe, someone wants to kill me, please save me!”

With this, she clasped Ye Xuan’s arms with her both hands, and then Ye Xuan immediately felt a tender and soft touch from his arms.

And this woman was still vigorously rubbing her pair of huge breasts against Ye Xuan’s arm.

Just then, three people abruptly appeared nearby. They were led by a middle-aged man who was holding a long knife and the other two were old men.

Seeing the three people, Ye Xuan’s heart froze. Judging from the breath of the middle-aged leader, he was at least in the Qi Harnessing Realm, and the two old men had also achieved the Qi Varying Realm!

The middle-aged men also saw Ye Xuan at this time. Upon seeing Ye Xuan, the three men’s brows were also wrinkled.

The middle-aged man looked directly at Ye Xuan, “Who are you?”

Before Ye Xuan answered, that seductive woman suddenly said, “I’ve got the goods. You stop them and let’s meet at the usual place!”

When she finished, she turned and was about to run. Right at this moment, Ye Xuan, who was next to her, suddenly lifted his foot and kicked her down with a leg-sweep.

The face of the seductive woman changed dramatically. She had never thought that Ye Xuan would suddenly make a move. She hurriedly blocked sideways with her hands in front.

“Bang!”

The whole body of the seductive woman was pushed dozens of meters away by Ye Xuan’s leg-sweep.

At the other side, the three people who were going to rush at Ye Xuan were stunned.

Ye Xuan glanced at the seductive woman and asked seriously, “Where is the usual place you just said? Say it more clearly, I am afraid that I will lose my way there!”
