Su Xiaojian's fingers tapped on the newly placed table.
No one spoke, and the atmosphere was very quiet.
"Cough …"
After a while, Cao Zijun cleared his throat and broke the silence, "The most important thing now is to think of a countermeasure before junior apprentice-sister Xiao Rong wakes up."
"I was too impulsive …" Su Xiaojian covered his face in shame.
"Don't blame the Peak Lord," Cao Zijun comforted.
"Meow!"
Suddenly, a cat meowed, and a big fat cat came out of nowhere, scratching Su Xiaojian with its claws.
"Shuangshuang, stop it," Su Xiaojian quickly grabbed its claws.
Cao Zigu said, "How about this, let junior apprentice-brother Yan lie low for a while, then tell her junior apprentice-brother Yan has been executed by us."
"No!" Cao Zijun immediately shook his head and rejected, "It's not like you don't know Elder Xiao Rong's temperament. She will definitely get to the bottom of this and force us to hand over Yan Li's corpse, or she will not let it go. Even if she believes us now, when she finds out that she has been tricked in the future, we will all have to go to the Law Enforcement Court. "
"Elder Xiao Rong really doesn't care about her own family!" Huang Chengyan sighed, "She even said that I lost my ambition and confiscated many of my treasures. Is there anyone who can teach her a lesson?"
"Xiao Rong's temperament was raised since she was young?" Lu Fengxin glanced at Su Xiaojian.
Su Xiaojian smiled bitterly, "When we were still in the Human Realm, her grandfather was the Shanhai Pass Commander, her maternal grandfather was the former Divine Constable, Iron Wrist Divine Saber, her father was the Long Qing Army's Governor, and her mother was a famous constable of the Dragon Emperor's Mansion. Her family was full of loyal people who abhorred evil, and had strict rules since young. Every word, every action, every sleep, and every meal had its rules. She worshiped her mother since she was young, and became a constable at the age of fifteen. If she did not enter the Court Of Sword with me, she would at least be a Divine Constable by now. "
Everyone could not help but be speechless.
"Huh, if Xiao Rong's family is so prominent, what does your family do?" Lu Fengxin asked the question in everyone's mind.
"My father was her father's superior." Su Xiaojian shrugged. "However, he died in battle twenty years ago."
Yan Li's heart skipped a beat. "The Battle of the Fallen Gods?"
"You know about it too?" Su Xiaojian asked.
"I've heard a little," Yan Li said.
"Ahem …" Cao Zijun coughed twice. "Peak Lord, we're off topic. Shouldn't we be discussing how to deal with Junior Sister Xiao Rong first?"
"That's right!" Su Xiaojian patted his head. "Tell me, is there any other way?"
Lu Feng said in her heart, "I might as well make up a reason, saying that I expelled Yan Li from the school."
"That's inappropriate." Su Xiaojian said, "Based on her personality, she will definitely report this to the Law Enforcement Bureau immediately to remove Yan Li's name from the list of disciples. Then, she will continue to pursue and execute the punishment. She will definitely cripple Yan Li's cultivation. Once she sets her mind on something, even nine bulls can't pull her back. "
Lu Fengxin rolled her eyes and said, "This won't work, that won't work. Even you, who knows her the best, can't do anything. What other brilliant ideas can we come up with?"
"Why don't we ask the Hierarch for mercy and get the Golden Summit back?" Luo Fangshuo said innocently.
"Little Fatty, are you stupid? This is like me asking you for the Golden Radiant Armor back," Huang Chengyan said helplessly. "Would you agree to it?"
Luo Fangshuo thought about it and shook his head firmly.
"That's right. How could the Hierarch agree to it?" Huang Chengyan's cheeks twitched. He felt like his heart was bleeding.
"Whoever started the trouble should untie it." Lu Fengxin looked at Yan Li.
Everyone followed her gaze and turned to Yan Li.
Yan Li pondered for a moment and said, "This matter can be said to be difficult, but it can also be said to be easy."
"What do you mean?" Lu Fengxin frowned. "If you have a solution, say it quickly. Don't beat around the bush with us."
"Whatever Elder Xiao Rong wants, we will give it to her," Yan Li said.
Lu Fengxin said, "She wants to destroy your cultivation or get the Golden Summit back. Aren't we troubled by these two things? That's why we need to discuss countermeasures. Hmph, it's useless to say anything! "
"What Elder Xiao Rong wants is something that can represent the Cangjian Peak. What if we replace the Golden Summit with something else?" Yan Li said.
"Something else?" Lu Fengxin said.
"What can be compared to the Golden Summit?" Everyone was confused.
"For example." Yan Li smiled faintly and formed a sword with his fingers. A purple light rushed out from the top of his head. In an instant, all the swords on the Cangjian Peak were humming.
"First-class Sword Master!" Su Xiaojian suddenly stood up.
The humming of swords could be heard from all directions. It seemed to be connected to the sword river that was flowing endlessly in the sky.
Yan Li retracted his sword at the right time. The surroundings returned to normal.
"First-class Sword Master?" Cao Zijun was flabbergasted. "I, I've only read about it in the books. I thought it was just a legend. I didn't expect it to actually exist!" His face was full of excitement as he spoke. He circled around Yan Li as if he was looking at a rare treasure.
"First-class Sword Master?" Cao Zigu was stunned. Then, he became dejected. "How am I supposed to catch up?"
"What's a First-class Sword Master? Is it powerful? "Luo Fangshuo asked in confusion.
"Little Fatty, what's your real name?" Huang Chengyan put his hand to his forehead.
"Fifth-class Minor Celestial Being, Tianshan Snow Rabbit," Luo Fangshuo said.
"First-class Sword Master. It's the real name of someone who's as talented as the legendary First-class Celestial Lord," Huang Chengyan said.
Cao Zijun added excitedly, "Legend has it that the previous owner was our patriarch's idol. Bai Kongxue, who destroyed the Western Immortal World with a single slash and was known as the greatest Sword Immortal in history."
"So, so powerful …" Luo Fangshuo said enviously. Suddenly, he noticed that everyone had shut their mouths and were looking in the same direction. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "What's wrong with you guys?"
He looked back subconsciously and was scared out of his wits. Su Xiaorong had woken up and was pointing her sword at Yan Li's neck.
"Xiaorong!" Su Xiaorong said in a low voice, "I was the one who knocked you out. This has nothing to do with Yan Li. You can report me to the law enforcement office, but I won't let you cripple his cultivation."
"First-class Sword Master?" Su Xiaorong's eyes were still cold, but there were some changes.
"Elder Xiaorong, do you think a First-class Sword Master is enough to exchange for the Golden Summit?" Yan Li smiled.
Su Xiaorong didn't say anything. She seemed to be thinking. After a while, she said coldly, "The two can't be compared. However, I can give you some time. Take back the Golden Summit within a month. "
"One year," Yan Li said directly.
Su Xiaorong didn't say anything. She seemed to be thinking. After a while, he said, "Alright, I'll give you one year." With that, he sheathed his sword and left.
Lu Fengxin recovered from her daze and asked doubtfully, "That's not right. You didn't register when you joined? A First-class Sword Master would've shaken the Pillar of Heaven Mountains long ago. If the other six lineages knew that you're a First-class Sword Master, they would definitely come to snatch you away. How could it be Cangjian Peak's turn? "
Yan Li shrugged. "I've passed the Four Entry Realms. Chief Ye didn't wait for me to register and brought me here."
"Heaven's will, heaven's will, hahahaha …" Cao Zijun laughed wildly. "No, I'm going to show off to those bastards!" With that, he turned into light and left.
