"Yanran, Yunlan?"
Zong Shou was shocked. Those 2 people stood out amongst the many Cang Shengdao disciples. They were like pearls in the sand, one couldn't help but look over. That eye-catching glow was pretty much impossible to ignore.
Didn't the 2 of them say that they were going to return to the sect after parting ways at Dragon Gathering Mountain? Why did they come here?
However, in his heart, he only felt slightly weird. The 2 of them were disciples of Cang Shengdao. It wasn't a weird thing for them to come to the common people's vast habitat to cultivate.
What was surprising was that the 2 of them acted like they didn't see him. Their expressions were also slightly cold as they walked out of the door of the Scripture Hall.
Then, he suddenly recalled that he had already changed his appearance. He didn't recognize the 2 of them.
Even if they guessed his identity, it wasn't appropriate for them to acknowledge him in front of so many people.
Zong Shou thought about it for a moment before following casually. Passing through several corridors, he walked into a huge garden. As expected, the 2 of them were waiting for him.
"Yunlan greets your highness. How have you been? After parting ways at Dragon Gathering Mountain, your highness' cultivation seems to have become even deeper. "
Looking at Zong Shou's arrival, Xuan Yunlan seemed to have become a totally different person. Her face was filled with a smile, not having that ice-cold expression from before.
That Zhao Yanran didn't treat him well, scoffing coldly as a greeting.
Zong Shou smiled, casually removing the illusionary technique on his body. He didn't ask why the 2 of them were in the common people's vast habitat, directly nodding his head, "Yunlan you came at the right time. I was worried that no one would play the zither for me."
Without Xuan Yunlan's soul calming spiritual tune to suppress his soul, he didn't dare to use the illusionary heart mirror recently.
Although it was an illusionary realm that he created, if he suffered any injuries within it, it would harm his soul.
On the other side, when Xuan Yunlan heard that, she didn't mind at all. Instead, she smiled sweetly, "Xuan Yunlan came precisely because of that. Back then, I set a 3 month agreement with your highness. It had yet to be completed. 10 days ago, I came to Common People's Vast Habitat to wait for your highness to fulfill my promise. "
Zhao Yanran was dumbfounded. She secretly cursed Zong Shou for being shameless. She directly treated Xuan Yunlan as a coolie and the latter was actually willing to do it.
His expression turned solemn, "Zong Shou, I don't expect you to break through to the ascended realm within a year. I hope that a year later you can work hard and at least charge into the Dao Xuanwu Realm. Can you do that? If you're still a man, then don't disappoint her! "
Zong Shou was stunned. He stared at Zhao Yanran, then used a questioning gaze to sweep towards Xuan Yunlan.
Could it be that this Zhao Yanran had eaten gunpowder? Why are you speaking so rudely?
In a year's time, he would be able to reach the Xuanwu Qi Meridian Realm. However, if one considered the foundations of his World Shocking Spiritual Sense, this speed was still a little too fast.
In the past, looking at this Zhao Yanran, she didn't seem like a person with no patience.
Xuan Yunlan was good at understanding others. Seeing Zong Shou's expression, she instantly smiled, "It is because of that sword prince Jueyu. Your highness might not have heard that this Jueyu is one of the 3 pinnacle swords of the cloud world. Legend has it that he is the best at using the sword in the younger generation. Not long ago, he swore that he would go one by one to challenge the 19 spiritual houses, 10 shrines, 5 vast habitats and 3 heavenly caves. Not long ago, he defeated two great Spiritual House Sects in a row. "
"Sword prince Jueyu?"
Zong Shou's brows furrowed. He had heard of the 3 pinnacle swords of the cloud world from Suchen. However, as for who it was, he didn't know. He only knew that there was Lei Dong's enemy, Spiritual Sword Ruotao.
In his heart, he was filled with respect. Challenging all the spiritual houses, shrines, vast habitats and heavenly caves, this was a true sword testing the world …
What he had always wanted to do, this sword prince Jueyu had already started to do.
He also understood why Zhao Yanran would be so anxious. Seven Spirit Sect was the head of all the spiritual houses. Since Suchen wanted to challenge the 19 spiritual houses, Seven Spirit Sect naturally wouldn't be able to escape.
Someone who could be on the same level as Spiritual Sword Ruotao wouldn't be any weaker than Lei Dong.
That sworn brother of his was now a genuine Martial Exalted.
Taking in a deep breath, Zong Shou reluctantly nodded his head, "I will try! However, such a person, even if you break through to the peak of Xuanwu, you won't be his opponent. Within your Seven Spirit Sect, probably only your senior master He Xueying has the ability to fight him. "
Zhao Yanran relaxed. She and Zong Shou had a reverse relationship. Originally, with her talent, breaking through to Xuanwu ancestor within a year was impossible. However, if she could get Zong Shou to reverse nurture her, she had some confidence.
When she heard the last few words, she wasn't angry. She also knew that it was too much for her to fight Jueyu now.
She forced Zong Shou today because she had a bit of hope and didn't want Seven Spirit Sect to be humiliated.
She muttered and was just about to thank him. In the next instance, she heard Zong Shou smile, "However, if you want me to agree, I have a condition. In this year, you have to be my maidservant's training partner. You have to work hard without any complaints, if not there is no need to talk about it! "
Zhao Yanran was instantly furious, the anger was stuck in her chest and couldn't be vented out. She should have known that she would come to beg this fellow, so how could she not pay a price?
Zong Shou didn't bother about her, looking curiously at Xuan Yunlan, "What happened today? I remember that I didn't offend any Cang Shengdao sect members? Why does it seem like the 2 of you don't dare to speak to me? "
When Xuan Yunlan heard that, she helplessly shook her head, "Your highness indeed didn't offend anyone before, but now that you have moved into 1st Courtyard A, you have offended some people badly."
Zong Shouxin was enlightened, thinking to himself that it was because of that courtyard? 1st Courtyard A. Actually, when he saw those words, he had a bad feeling about it.
However, due to Hanfang's arrangements, he couldn't reject it.
Following which Xuan Yunlan continued, "My Cang Shengdao has an unwritten rule. Only the most outstanding person out of all the disciples of the common people hall and the 3 sects and 6 schools can occupy this 1st Courtyard A. Anyone who moves in will be able to ascend to the celestial realm. For ten thousand years, there was no exception. 20 years ago when Taiyuan Sect's Water Fairy left, this place was empty. Originally in this generation, Taiyuan, Xuanyang and Hanling sects all had outstanding disciples who had hopes of moving in. Not long ago, they were fighting to the death for these rights. Your highness appeared out of nowhere and directly took over this 1st Courtyard A. Isn't that hateful? "
Zong Shou could only laugh bitterly. Speaking of which, he had indeed offended someone badly.
A person whose background he didn't know, who he was, for no reason took over this thing that they had been fighting for so long. If it was him, he would also be annoyed.
"Taiyuan Sect Xuanye, Xuanyang Sect Xie An, Hanling Sect Luoshi. These 3 people are known as the 3 heroes of Cang Shengdao. They are also the ones who are respected the most by our Cang Shengdao disciples. Their influence is huge, not only within their own sect, but the other 3 sects and 6 schools all have people who follow them. They are the only ones who follow them. "
Zhao Yanran had also recovered, her expression expressionless with a bit of mocking intent, "These 3 are the talents of the 3 sects, maybe they don't care about where this 1st Courtyard A belongs to. However, their friends and fellow apprentices all hate Your Highness to the point of gnashing their teeth, feeling indignant for them. Right now, they are all rubbing their fists, wanting to teach Your Highness a lesson. I'm afraid it won't be easy for you to subdue them. "
Zong Shou smiled, not intending to continue the conversation. The questions in his heart had been solved, so he didn't have the intention to chat with these 2 girls. He had just arrived at the common people's vast habitat and there were simply too many things he needed to do.
As for those people with bad intentions, he didn't bother about them at all. If they weren't happy, then he would just beat them.
He entered Cang Shengdao to learn skills. If he could keep a low profile, naturally it would be best.
However, since his senior brother Hanfang had already placed him in such a position, then he wouldn't be afraid. He also didn't have any thoughts of being humble and didn't have any intentions to settle things peacefully. Anyways Zong Shou was going to occupy this 1st Courtyard A.
When he returned to the Scripture Lecture Hall, the surrounding fellow disciples still had a cold attitude and kept a respectful distance from him.
At this moment, Zong Shou didn't care at all, he could have some peace and quiet. He casually listened to the lecture, just like before when he started to learn the sword path. He was focused, his entire body like a sponge, absorbing all the basics of spells that he could use.
During the day, there were a total of 4 lessons. In the morning, it was about cultivation, occasionally they would talk about actual combat. In the afternoon, it was about spells and talismans.
Zong Shou didn't listen to every lesson, only choosing what he could use. Whenever they talked about talismans, he would leave. He went to the Book Hiding Pavilion to find a quiet place to read books alone.
It was like that for several consecutive days. He didn't see anyone jump out to find trouble with him. Only the surrounding gazes were becoming more and more unfriendly.
Zong Shou could roughly feel that these few days of life seemed calm, but there were hidden currents flowing under the lake water.
What made him happy was that Zong Yuan and Ruoshui were like fish in water in this common people palace, not feeling any discomfort at all.
They were busy every day. Zong Yuan focused on the martial path, but recently because he wanted to cultivate spells, he would occasionally accompany Zong Shou to listen to lessons. Ruoshui shuttled between the two sides, like she had entered a treasure trove. She was busy every day.
Only Chu Xue didn't know what to do. Even in the martial path lessons that she loved the most, she couldn't understand most of it, her face filled with confusion.
It wasn't until two days later when Zhao Yanran came to be her sparring partner that her spirits were lifted. She finally had some energy every day.
This made Zong Shou sigh once more. Did this brat's intelligence get taken over by that perverted instinct?
Shi Ruolan would be fetched by Hanfang every morning and would only be released in the evening.
Zong Shou only knew that this brat's body slowly had some internal energy and was getting stronger and stronger. He didn't care about her progress, only knowing that with a god realm expert personally teaching her, she was much more reliable than him. (To be continued.
