After three rounds of drinks.
Everyone put down their wine glasses and Li Yu spoke up.
As the owner of the carriage, he had to be the one to start the conversation.
"Master, what are you going to Qingzhou Ancient City for this time?"
Li Yu asked curiously as he didn't know what Ye Ping was going to Qingzhou Ancient City for.
"To participate in the Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet."
Ye Ping answered truthfully without hiding anything.
However, as soon as he said that, the expressions of the people in the carriage changed slightly, but they didn't say anything.
"Participate in the Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet?"
Li Yu was even more surprised.
In his impression, his teacher was extremely talented in literature and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was a literary star. However, he didn't expect that his teacher would actually want to participate in the Sword Dao Meet one day.
"Yes, a few months ago, I joined an immortal sect to seek immortal opportunities. Now, the sect leader has sent me to participate in the Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet to gain experience."
Ye Ping said.
However, Su Changyu, who was at the side, somehow became nervous.
He was very nervous, for fear that Ye Ping would say something wrong and be found out by others. However, he didn't dare to interrupt, lest he made things worse.
'Immortal sect? ' 'Seeking immortal opportunities? '
At this moment, the atmosphere in the carriage became a little strange.
Li Yu was fine. He knew Ye Ping's personality and understood that Ye Ping was a smart person. Hence, he naturally wouldn't be deceived.
"Master, will you consider entering the court as an official then?"
Li Yu asked. Ever since he met Ye Ping, he had always wanted to pull Ye Ping into the court as an official to assist him. In fact, Li Yu even thought about making Ye Ping the Grand Preceptor of the dynasty when he ascended to the throne.
However, he discovered that Ye Ping was not competitive by nature. Although he was talented, Li Yu had always been conflicted. He was afraid that Ye Ping would suffer a huge loss if he entered the court as an official. Hence, he never mentioned it.
"Enter the court as an official?"
Ye Ping was a little curious. He sized Li Yu up and to be honest, Ye Ping could guess that Li Yu was a powerful person, but he didn't expect him to enter the court as an official through the back door.
However, if Li Yu had said that to him a year ago, Ye Ping might have agreed. However, now that he had joined a hidden immortal sect, becoming an official of the court was not worth mentioning in Ye Ping's eyes.
"I'm free, I won't be afraid of the court."
Ye Ping slowly stated his intentions and tactfully rejected Li Yu.
Hearing this, Li Yu could not help but sigh.
Although he had already guessed it, Li Yu still felt a little upset after hearing what Ye Ping said.
However, at this moment, Ye Ping spoke up.
"Why are you going to Qingzhou Ancient City?"
Ye Ping asked with curiosity.
"Teacher, I'm going to the Qingzhou Ancient City for some trivial matters. Gao Zhan came with me, Brother Nie is here for the recruitment, while Brother Xu is going to the Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet."
"As for the two fairies, Shuang'er and Ning'er, they came to the Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet for the sake of making new clothes for the Sword Immortal series."
Li Yu answered on behalf of everyone.
"Conscription? Is Jin Nation going to war? "
Ye Ping's eyes were filled with curiosity.
"Not really. It's mainly because there have been some abnormalities in Jin Nation recently, so His Majesty plans to make arrangements in advance to prepare for a rainy day in case of any unexpected situations."
"However, these are all trivial matters. Fairy Shuang'er's matter is more important. I heard that there are a few impressive geniuses in the Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet this time. I have to pay attention to them."
Nie Xin answered Ye Ping. He obviously didn't want to mention too much about this matter. After all, it was considered a matter of national importance and should not be discussed casually. Later on, Nie Xin brought the topic to the Sword Dao Meet.
At the mention of this matter …
Xu Qiubai couldn't help but nod too.
"The Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet this time has indeed attracted many geniuses. In the past, the top three of the Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet were basically won by the Four Thunder Swordsmanship Sect."
"However, this year, it seems that the Four Thunder Swordsmanship Sect, which is the best in Qingzhou, probably won't even be able to enter the top ten."
As soon as he said that, he immediately attracted the curiosity of Ye Ping and Su Changyu.
However, Su Changyu didn't say anything. He didn't dare to either.
Ye Ping couldn't help but speak.
"Are there many geniuses?"
He was a little curious. After all, as a participant, he naturally had to pay attention to the Sword Dao Meet.
"Yes, Teacher, you may not know this, but the top three of the Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet this time will all be able to enter the Jin Nation Academy."
"If nothing goes wrong, the Jin Nation Academy will open in three months, and when spring comes next year, the Ten Nations Academy will reappear. The list of candidates for the Ten Nations Academy will definitely be chosen from the academies of the various nations."
"Coincidentally, the Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet happens to be the last Sword Dao Meet. Hence, many cultivators have come to participate in the Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet for the Ten Nations Academy."
Li Yu explained patiently to Ye Ping.
"How strong are they then?"
For some reason, Ye Ping felt a little pressured, but he was still relatively composed as he simply asked a simple question.
"I don't know much about the Sword Dao, but Brother Xu knows a lot. Brother Xu, what conditions do you think the champion should have?"
Li Yu didn't know much about the Sword Dao, so he could only ask Xu Qiubai.
The latter was the young master of the Lijian Villa, which was one of the 3,000 Dao Sects and was an existence that surpassed the first grade. Hence, he naturally knew more about the Sword Dao.
Xu Qiubai thought about it for a while before speaking.
"The most famous sword move in Qingzhou is the Four Thunder Sword Technique. In the past, the winner of the Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet only needed to comprehend two sword momentum to basically clinch the first place. However, this time, I think you have to comprehend at least four sword momentum in order to clinch the first place."
"However, because of the Ten Nations Academy, there might be stronger geniuses appearing."
Xu Qiubai said and made his own judgment.
After he said that, Ye Ping couldn't help but feel a little pressured.
He had long comprehended the Four Thunder sword momentum, but his strongest was not the Four Thunder sword momentum, but the Broken Sword Technique.
In fact, the Heavenly River sword momentum was several times stronger than the Four Thunder sword momentum. However, after hearing Xu Qiubai's words, he reckoned that there would be hidden talents in the Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet.
At this point, Xu Qiubai couldn't help but think of something.
He looked at Ye Ping and said.
"I heard that you seemed to have joined the immortal sect a few months ago. I wonder how many sword momentum you have comprehended during the Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet this time?"
Xu Qiubai asked this question casually.
Ye Ping answered truthfully.
"I'm a little slow-witted when it comes to immortal cultivation. Eldest Senior Brother has been teaching me wholeheartedly for several months, but so far, I've only comprehended the Four Thunder sword momentum and the Heavenly River sword momentum. I wonder if I can get a good ranking in the Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet this time."
At the mention of this, Ye Ping was a little displeased.
'After a few months, I've only comprehended that bit of sword momentum. My aptitude is really slow-witted. '
However, as soon as he said those words …
There was silence in the car.
Xu Qiubai was even more silent.
'Damn it. '
'Will you die if you don't brag? '
'You comprehended the Four Thunder sword momentum and the Heavenly River sword momentum in just a few months? '
'I don't know what kind of sword technique the Heavenly River sword momentum is. '
'But do you think I, the Young Master of the Lijian Villa, am useless? '
'I've studied the Four Thunder Sword Technique, which is the best sword technique in Qingzhou. '
'I've studied it for a few months, three months. '
'You'll be considered a genius if you can comprehend one sword momentum in three months, let alone the Four Thunder sword momentum. '
'Comprehending the Four Thunder sword momentum in three months? '
'Even the Young Master of the Lijian Villa wouldn't dare to brag about that. '
Xu Qiubai was silent.
He really didn't know what to say.
His aptitude was that he was a genius in the Sword Dao and he was a top-notch genius who was superior to everyone else.
Besides, Xu Qiubai had studied the Four Thunder Sword Technique before. If he were to comprehend it, it would take him at least a year to three years to completely comprehend the Four Thunder sword momentum.
'That can only be done under the circumstances that he's from a Sword Dao family. '
'Comprehending the Four Thunder sword momentum in just a few months? '
'And comprehending the Heavenly River sword technique that sounds even more impressive than the Four Thunder Sword Technique? '
'I, Xu Qiubai, will devour all the swords in the Lijian Villa. '
'If I can comprehend it, it means that I can't digest it well. '
The most hateful thing was that …
'You even said that I'm slow-witted? '
'You call that slow-witted? '
'Then aren't we retarded? '
'Not worthy of practicing swordsmanship? '
'Householder Qing Lian. '
'Do you think we're all fools? '
Xu Qiubai was not the only one.
Zhangsun Gaozhan, Nie Xin, as well as Shuang'er and Ning'er of the Heavenly Apparel Pavilion, fell silent too.
Although they did not cultivate the Sword Dao, they had some attainments in it. Hence, they naturally knew how arrogant Ye Ping was.
'Even the best in the Sword Dao in Jin Nation wouldn't dare to brag like that, right? '
'Even the best in the Sword Dao in the Ten Nations would have to think twice before bragging. '
However, Ye Ping's expression seemed extremely casual and calm, making everyone feel a little awkward.
Among the people in the carriage, only two seemed calm.
One was Su Changyu.
The reason being, he knew that Ye Ping was telling the truth.
The other was Li Yu.
Li Yu even looked at Xu Qiubai curiously.
"Brother Xu, can my master win the championship with his level?"
He asked.
Xu Qiubai was speechless.
'Snatch my ass. '
'Comprehended the Four Thunder sword momentum and Heavenly River sword momentum in a few months. '
'If I don't win the championship, who else can? '
'Even if I don't, I'll be invincible in the Ten Nations in a year. '
'Okay. '
'Okay. '
You like to pretend, right? I'll stay in Qingzhou and not leave. I want to see if your master is pretending or not.
'Also … '
'How can you ask such a question? '
'I don't want to answer. '
Xu Qiubai was upset.
"It shouldn't be difficult."
However, in the end, Xu Qiubai still gave a polite answer.
After all, Li Yu was the Crown Prince of Jin Nation and he had to show him some respect.
Just like that, everyone chatted with each other.
Li Yu was the most excited as he kept chatting with Ye Ping.
However, since he had nothing to do, Ye Ping also chatted with Li Yu.
The content of their conversation ranged from one topic to another.
They even talked about the stars of the universe.
Ye Ping used modern cosmology to popularize science.
He talked about light-years, the universe, low-level civilizations, high-level civilizations, and so on.
Li Yu was not the only one who was attracted by his theory.
The others had never heard of such a thing either. Their understanding of the stars of the universe was just a fantasy.
However, Ye Ping gave an extravagant explanation that was reasonable and well-founded. All of a sudden, everyone was mesmerized by his explanation and even Su Changyu was amazed.
It was mainly because what Ye Ping said was so realistic that they couldn't help but fantasize.
In fact, they even had some insights and hence, they were even more respectful to Ye Ping.
Just like that, another three days passed in the blink of an eye.
The speed of the ancient beast warhorse was indeed faster than walking.
On this day.
The carriage arrived outside the Qingzhou Ancient City.
Everyone got off the horse accordingly.
However, not long after Su Changyu got off the horse …
All of a sudden, several figures rushed over.
"Senior Su, it's really Senior Su."
"It's really him."
"Senior Su, you actually came as well. Please save us. Our Azure Province's reputation is about to be tarnished."
