Qin Dongxue didn't seem to be willing to talk too much about her sect. She didn't have the mood to linger on the beautiful scenery of Qingshui Lake and had already turned around to return.
However, Ling Yun did not let up. As he walked, he asked, "Aunty, what realm is your Big Senior Brother at now?"
This was a crucial question, so Ling Yun naturally had to clarify it.
"I don't know," Qin Dongxue said impatiently as she quickened her pace.
Ling Yun was stunned and asked, "You don't know? How is that possible? "
"Rascal, don't you know it's a big taboo to ask about other people's realms?" Qin Dongxue frowned slightly and slowed down her pace. She turned her head to glare at Ling Yun and lectured him.
"Uh …"
Ling Yun's handsome face turned red and he was speechless.
What Qin Dongxue said was indeed the truth. If someone casually asked about someone else's realm in the Pugilistic World, that person would think that someone wanted to challenge him. Especially if the person had a lot of enemies, he might even think that an enemy was preparing to seek revenge.
Besides, there were many people in the Jianghu who wanted to step on the shoulders of others to become famous. Once his own realm and strength were known by someone with ulterior motives, wouldn't he become a stepping stone for others to become famous?
If the opponent came to challenge him, even if he won, blades and spears had no eyes. If he injured the opponent, then a grudge would be formed. Since the opponent dared to take the initiative to challenge him, he must be a brave and ruthless person. Who could guarantee that such a person wouldn't hold a grudge and come to seek revenge in the future?
Also, forget about being someone else's stepping stone, even if the challenger really wanted to exchange pointers and didn't hold a grudge after losing, he would still become someone else's whetstone.
Regardless of whether it was a stepping stone or a whetstone, no one was willing to become one. Therefore, unless it was a close friend, no one would casually tell others about their realm and strength.
Therefore, asking about someone else's realm was indeed a taboo in the Pugilistic World.
It was also because of this reason that the true masters of the Jianghu would try their best to keep a low profile when they roamed the Jianghu. Unless they were forced to fight to the death, they would not make a move if they could avoid it. That was how they gave others the impression that they were hiding their strength.
Ling Yun naturally understood the rules of the pugilistic world. However, he changed his mind and asked, "But Aunty, isn't Guo Xiaotian your Big Brother?"
"Brat, who told you that I have to know his realm just because he's my Big Senior Brother?" Qin Dongxue didn't know what to do. She stopped in her tracks and asked, "Brat, who told you that I have to know his realm just because he's my Big Senior Brother?"
"Ling Yun, don't think that learning at the Deity Sword Mountain Villa is like being at home. Everyone will treat me like a pearl in the palm of their hands …" Qin Dongxue could only explain. She sounded bitter as she said, "Ling Yun, don't think that learning at the Deity Sword Mountain Villa is like being at home.
"On the contrary, every ancient martial arts sect has its own harsh rules. You have to endure hardships to learn from a master …"
"Even though Aunty is the pearl in the Qin Family, she was just an ordinary disciple in the Deity Sword Mountain Villa …"
Qin Dongxue smiled bitterly. "Aunty learned swordsmanship in the Deity Sword Mountain Villa for twenty years. Before I broke through to the Xiantian Realm, all my martial arts were taught by Big Senior Brother. It was only after I broke through to the Xiantian Realm that I was officially accepted as a disciple by Master …"
"I see."
Ling Yun understood without Qin Dongxue continuing. Since most of Qin Dongxue's martial arts were taught by Guo Xiaotian, Guo Xiaotian could be considered half a master to Qin Dongxue. How could Qin Dongxue have the right to ask about Guo Xiaotian's realm?
Moreover, Ling Yun could tell from Qin Dongxue's increasingly dejected expression that she must have had a very hard time over the past twenty years at the Deity Sword Mountain Villa.
Ling Yun felt a trace of tenderness in his heart, but the corner of his mouth lifted into a cold smile.
Qin Dongxue continued, "Although I'm not sure about Senior Brother Guo's exact realm, during the Inner Sect Competition five years ago, he only used a wooden sword. Within ten moves, he broke the sword formation set up by the other four Senior Brothers …"
Come to think of it, he must have broken through to Xiantian Realm Level Eight at that time …
Ling Yun's heart skipped a beat. "What kind of sword formation was broken by a wooden sword …" He said disdainfully.
However, Ling Yun was calculating in his heart. Five years ago, he broke through to Xiantian Realm Level Eight. No matter how slow his cultivation was, he should have reached the pinnacle of Xiantian Realm Level Eight by now, right?
Just the Deity Sword Mountain Villa alone had an expert at the pinnacle of Xiantian Realm Level Eight. What about the other sects …
After a casual estimation, Ling Yun's mood became heavy. It seemed like the power of the orthodox sects in this aspect was not to be underestimated.
Ling Yun muttered, "What about your Big Senior Brother's personality? Is he easy to talk to? "
Ling Yun could only settle for the next best thing, which was to find out about Guo Xiaotian's personality. He hoped that Aunty wouldn't be put in too much trouble by him.
Who knew that Qin Dongxue's expression would become even heavier after Ling Yun's question. She smiled bitterly again. "If he's easy to talk to, Aunty wouldn't have to be so conflicted …"
"When Master isn't around or in seclusion, Big Senior Brother is in charge of everything in the Deity Sword Mountain Villa. He values rules the most. In his eyes, it's either black or white. He's the kind of person who believes that good and evil cannot coexist. That's why he took the initiative to rush over when he heard about the Devil's Blade …"
Ling Yun's heart turned cold.
Trouble! No wonder Little Aunt showed such a worried expression after receiving the message. It turned out that this was not an easy task to overcome!
However, Ling Yun thought about it again. He already had the intention to defeat all the enemies. Why would he care about who the other party was?
Even though Little Aunt's words were vague and she didn't make it clear, Ling Yun could tell that Little Aunt wasn't happy in the Deity Sword Mountain Villa. Since she wasn't happy, what was the point of wasting time in that run-down villa?
Ling Yun smiled and patted Qin Dongxue's shoulder. "Alright, Aunty, since your Big Senior Brother is half a master to you, I'm relieved. You can go at night with peace of mind!" Qin Dongxue smiled and patted Ling Yun's shoulder.
Qin Dongxue sighed in her heart, but she smiled and nodded. "Yes, Big Senior Brother treats me very well. I believe he won't make things difficult for me."
Ling Yun knew that Qin Dongxue was forcing herself to smile, but he didn't expose her. He only said, "Let's go home. Since we're going out at night, we should rest well during the day."
The two of them ended the topic tacitly. This time, Ling Yun took the lead. After taking a few steps, he suddenly turned around and asked, "Aunty, that … that Senior Brother Liu from last time, did he come this time?"
"He's here," Qin Dongxue replied casually with a heavy heart.
On the way back, the two of them didn't speak much. Ling Yun had made a plan in his heart. He would definitely follow Aunty to Dragon Gate Mountain at night, but before that, he had to make careful preparations.
After returning to Mansion Number One, Ling Yun realized that Tang Meng had already called Li Yi and Jiao Fei over. He knew what they were here for, so he called the three of them to the gym.
The gym in Mansion Number One was huge, but most of the space was filled with rucksack filled with medicinal ingredients for making talismans. Ling Yun didn't waste any time and asked Li Yi to find an empty rucksack. He stuffed his left hand into the rucksack, and with a single thought, more than thirty Desert Eagle Pistols were stuffed into the rucksack.
Ignoring Li Yi and Jiao Fei's shocked expressions, Ling Yun turned to Tang Meng and said in a low voice, "Tang Meng, I don't care which brothers you want to use these Desert Eagle Pistols, but I've already said that no one is allowed to use these pistols against ordinary people, regardless of whether they're good or bad. Got it?"
Tang Meng laughed excitedly and nodded, indicating that there wouldn't be any problems.
Ling Yun then looked at Li Yi and said, "Li Yi, if I remember correctly, when you were an assassin in the Assassins Organization, you were best at using guns, right?"
Li Yi wasn't good with words, so he only nodded lightly.
Ling Yun smiled and said, "Alright then, after these guns are distributed, I'll leave the task of teaching the brothers how to use guns to you."
Li Yi finally had an excited smile on his face as he nodded respectfully. "Yes."
"Go."
Ling Yun waved his hands and let the two of them carry the rucksack away.
Tang Meng didn't expect Ling Yun to let the two of them go just like that. He hurriedly chased after the two of them and carefully reminded them outside before running back.
Ling Yun frowned slightly. "Didn't I tell you not to care about Green Dragon's matters? How could you forget?"
Tang Meng laughed awkwardly. "Hehe, this is the last time. Ah Bing isn't here, so I can only do it for him."
"Where's Ah Bing?"
"Green Dragon has a lot of things to do, so he went to settle them …"
Ling Yun thought that Ah Bing was only the boss of Green Dragon and didn't know any martial arts. The enemy probably wouldn't be able to find him for the time being, so he nodded.
"Since Ah Bing is gone, then just in time … carry this and that, follow me to the kitchen …"
Ling Yun stretched out his hand and pointed at the two sacks filled with medicinal herbs.
Tang Meng's face instantly turned bitter. "Big Brother Yun, what now?"
Ling Yun chuckled. "What else can I do? Make talismans, of course … "
In the afternoon, Ling Yun made a hundred Healing Talismans, Fire Talismans, Defense Talismans, Gold Talismans, and God Strider Talismans.
At ten o 'clock at night, Qin Dongxue changed into the Golden Black Devilish Silkworm suit and packed everything that Ling Yun had prepared for her. Then, she carried her sword and prepared to rush to Dragon Gate Mountain.
Ling Yun and Ning Lingyu walked Qin Dongxue all the way to the gate.
In the night, Ling Yun smiled. "Aunty, you're too eye-catching in the suit. Why don't I drive you to the foot of Dragon Gate Mountain?"
Qin Dongxue glared at Ling Yun and said, "Why, you don't believe in Aunty's Qinggong anymore? Don't think I don't know what you're up to. If you reach Dragon Gate Mountain, it'll be a wonder if you don't go up! "
Ling Yun also knew that his excuse was too lame, so he let it go with a laugh.
"Don't worry, Aunty will definitely explain it to you. I'm leaving!"
Qin Dongxue tiptoed, and her slender body disappeared in a flash, disappearing into the vast night.
After Qin Dongxue left, Ling Yun stood on the spot and looked at the dark night. "Don't worry? How can I be at ease with that Eldest Senior Brother of yours? "
