Chapters 21: "The Adulterer and the Adulteress's Sword" and "Love in a Fallen Ci
It was already past midnight when I got back from Tong Baixiong's place.
He finally got to see the night view of Hengyang City in the early morning.
Back at the inn, the first thing I did was open the system. The pool had been updated, so I had to try my luck with some treasures.
Upon opening the system, two treasure chests and a lottery card lay quietly in the system inventory.
He then looked at a treasure chest and [opened the treasure chest].
The treasure chest has been opened.
[Congratulations, host, you have obtained the sword technique "Adulterous Husband and Adulterous Woman Sword"]
No, who is the adulterer and who is the harlot?
You'd better reflect on this, system.
Then he looked at another treasure chest, hoping it would contain something good.
The treasure chest has been opened.
[Congratulations, host, you have acquired the sword technique "Love of a Fallen City"]
[The Love That Shatters the City is from the novel "Storm Riders". When two people with hearts in sync unleash their swords, the light is like a cascading Milky Way, its power enough to destroy the heavens and the earth.]
Okay, SS level, one person won't do, it has to be two people, and they have to be in sync.
But he has two hearts connected right now, what should he do?
He thought about it and decided to practice with his junior sister instead. If he practiced with the bald boy, Master Dingyi would easily kill him, and he didn't want to be beaten by Master Dingyi.
Yue Yuan finally turned his gaze to the lottery ticket.
He's the kind of person who spends all his money on food and money while still being healthy. Back in school, he was always the first to run out of his allowance, and he's still a spendthrift after starting work.
He stared at the lottery ticket in the system, feeling an urge to quit. He gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and decided to spend it; if he lost it, he wouldn't care anymore.
[System, I want to participate in the lottery.]
A lottery-style blowing machine appears, with prize details written on the ball.
He blew on his hands, then rubbed them together vigorously, silently chanting: "It must be an SSR, it must be an SSR."
After reciting the incantation, he clicked to enter the lottery.
The yellow ball rolled inside the machine, while Yue Yuan outside closed his eyes, clasped his hands together, and prayed to all the gods and Buddhas in the world.
After a long pre-starting motion, the machine finally stopped, a flash of yellow light appeared, and a piece of armor appeared in my mind.
[Congratulations, host, you have obtained a Black Silk Vest. The Black Silk Vest is specifically designed to counter internal energy damage, making it the nemesis of masters of internal energy cultivation.]
Yue Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed he still had to pray to the gods and Buddhas, otherwise he wouldn't be able to draw this good thing. It was specifically designed to suppress internal energy, which was incredibly powerful.
Equipped with this precious armor, he lay on the bed with his eyes closed.
Today was really busy, but it was worth it. I not only completed the task, but also got some good stuff, except for "The Adulterer's Sword" of course.
The next day, just as dawn broke, there was a loud banging on his door.
"Who is it, so early in the morning?"
"Junior brother, it's me. Master has arrived in Hengyang. Let's hurry and meet up with them!"
Yue Yuan sat up and rubbed his eyes. Hadn't Yue Buqun arrived in Hengyang a long time ago? Why was he only now summoning the two of them back?
However, he still needed to meet up with her; he hadn't seen his proud and aloof senior sister in a long time, and he'd have to coax her properly when they got back.
Thinking that he would soon be able to see his proud and aloof senior sister again, he quickly got up, washed himself, and then pushed open the door.
Unlike Linghu Chong's casual and careless attire, Yue Yuan was dressed extremely meticulously today, in brocade robes and a jade crown, holding a folding fan in his hand and a jade pendant hanging from his waist. He looked incredibly dashing and handsome.
"Senior Brother, let's go!"
Linghu Chong was stunned for two breaths after seeing him, and it was only after Yue Yuan waved in front of him that he came to his senses.
"Okay...go."
Linghu Chong's first reaction upon seeing Yue Yuan was one of inferiority. How could there be such an amazing person in the world? He was a dashing young man in fine clothes and riding a spirited horse.
Yue Yuan didn't see the disappointment in Linghu Chong's eyes. At this moment, all he wanted was to see his junior sister as soon as possible.
As the saying goes, "Riding a horse on a spring breeze, one can see all the flowers of Chang'an in a single day," he now understood the joy that Meng Jiao felt.
A month ago, he was struggling on the brink of death, but now he has earned the title of "Young Hero of Zhenyue".
The two sped all the way to the courtyard where the Huashan Sect was staying, and just then they saw Yue Lingshan practicing her sword in the courtyard.
The two were overjoyed to see Yue Lingshan.
"Junior Sister"
"Junior Sister"
The two spoke at the same time.
Yue Lingshan stopped what she was doing, sheathed her sword, and walked toward the two of them.
When she saw Linghu Chong, she politely greeted him as "Senior Brother," then brushed past him and headed straight for Yue Yuan, who was a little behind her.
She didn't speak, her smile vanished, and she just looked at him with her bloodshot eyes, as if asking him why she hadn't heard from him for so long.
Yue Yuan gave her a bright smile, "Junior Sister, I'm back."
Yue Lingshan gently turned her head to one side. "Hmph, whether you come back or not is none of my business."
Well, so she's complaining that I came back late.
He waved his hand in front of his arrogant senior sister, then suddenly snapped his fingers, and a jewel-encrusted hairpin appeared in his hand.
"This is for you, Junior Sister."
Yue Lingshan's eyes lit up for a moment, but then she seemed to remember something and her expression remained unchanged.
She snatched the hairpin in her hand and said coquettishly, "Hmph, don't think I can forgive you just because you did these things." After saying that, she walked into the house.
Yue Yuan was stunned for a moment, then followed her. "Junior Sister, just tell me what you want me to do to get your forgiveness."
"It depends on my mood."
The two flirted and teased each other as they walked, completely oblivious to Linghu Chong standing there dumbfounded.
Linghu Chong felt a pang of sadness. He had been longing to see his junior sister, but who knew that she and his junior brother had gotten together.
Yes, they looked like a perfect couple standing together.
Junior sister, I like you too. Although I've never expressed my feelings to you, I thought you knew.
Junior sister, have you forgotten the bond we've built over the years?
Have you forgotten our promise made under the waterfall in the back mountain, and our Chongling Sword Technique?
Yue Buqun stood at a distance and watched all of this unfold.
He stepped forward and patted Linghu Chong on the shoulder.
"Master, when did you arrive?"
Yue Buqun shook his head, simply saying "Foolish child," before walking into the house.
Inside the room, Yue Yuan was playing with Yue Lingshan. When he saw Yue Buqun walk in, he immediately stood up and stepped forward to greet him.
"Greetings, Master."
Yue Buqun nodded, then pointed to the lower right seat, indicating that he should sit down.
"Yuan'er, did you find anything during your trip to Fuzhou?"
"Master, there's nothing unusual. It's just that the Fuwei Escort Agency was wiped out, and we rescued the Lin family of three."
Old Yue frowned deeply. "Didn't you find anything else?"
Yue Yuan already knew what Yue Buqun was planning. He pretended to think about it for a moment, then slapped his thigh hard.
"Master, I discovered that they were looking for something at the Lin family's residence. I don't know exactly what it is, but I also noticed that Yu Canghai's son's martial arts skills have improved by leaps and bounds."
These words struck a nerve with Lao Yue, and his voice suddenly rose: "Is that really true!"
"Absolutely true."
Yue Yuan took a sip of tea and continued, "Junior Sister has witnessed Yu Renyan's abilities. He fought Lin Pingzhi to a draw in our restaurant, so his martial arts are rather ordinary."
"But that night, after I escaped the Qingcheng Sect's encirclement, I went back to the restaurant for one last look, and that one look was unforgettable for me."
"Yu Renyan actually took on five Qingcheng disciples by himself, and even had room to fight back. His swordsmanship was not like Qingcheng swordsmanship, but was fast and urgent, with extremely tricky attack angles."
Yue Buqun listened as he paced back and forth in the hall.
After walking back and forth several times, he drew Yue Lingshan's sword and used the move "Meteor Fall" followed by "Sweep Away the Demons".
Is that right?
Yue Yuan first pretended to recall, then nodded in confirmation, "Yes, yes, that's it."
"Of all martial arts techniques in the world, none are invincible except for speed."
Yue Buqun sighed inwardly.
How unfair is Heaven! The famous "Evil-Repelling Sword Technique" has indeed been taken by the Qingcheng Sect. From now on, Qingcheng Mountain will rise to prominence.
When will Mount Hua have such an opportunity?
Old Yue waved his hand, "You all go out, I need some peace and quiet."
