After the old master finished playing the zither to his heart's content, he suddenly stood up and slowly lowered his hands. He exhaled a mouthful of turtle-like air and showed the demeanor of a master again. The old man with white hair and a ruddy complexion slowly walked down the huge turtle-like bluestone. He smiled kindly and asked, "Disciple, has my zither skill improved a bit?"
The girl with a sword nodded seriously and gave a thumbs up, "Master, you have improved a lot. Amazing!"
Even Hsu Fengnian, who believed that his shamelessness was unparalleled, couldn't stand the shamelessness of this master and disciple. However, if there were a few more of these kind of people on Mount Fu Xiao, he wouldn't have torn the talisman in Youzhou in one breath. Instead, he would have taken the opportunity to broaden his knowledge. Of course, whether it was the old man with extraordinary zither skills or the girl with a sword who looked silly, they were all very cunning and shrewd. After all, they were not the bandits he met in the front mountain of Qingcheng many years ago. Those guys didn't even have the heart to take all the money and would remember to leave some money for the journey home. They were all bandits in the same profession, but they were not as murderous as Mount Fu Xiao. Old Man Meng, Little Hawthorn, Little Sparrow. After so many years, their faces were still vivid in his mind. Five years had passed. He didn't know if Little Hawthorn had taken over as the head of Mount Fu Xiao and if Little Sparrow had become slim and graceful. Hsu Fengnian's trance only lasted for a blink of an eye. Moreover, his trance didn't affect his ability to check the flow of Qi around him. To put it simply, even if Hsu Fengnian fell into a deep sleep and allowed a Level Two Master to attack him with all his strength, the latter would still die on the spot. The scenery on the ninth floor was not only for the Master Masters who were already immortals in the eyes of the common people in Jianghu, but even the King Kong Finger of the first two realms of Level One couldn't imagine how magnificent the martial arts picture scroll was when it was completely unfolded. Now, Xu Fengnian would occasionally think about what would happen if he were to face Han Wudi, who was known as an Earth Immortal, outside the Divine Martial City.
"Kid, This Old Man sees that your root bone is not bad."
The old man stared at Hsu Fengnian. He paused for a moment and then said earnestly, "Why don't you learn how to play the zither from This Old Man?"
Hsu Fengnian chuckled.
Two people, a man and a woman, came from afar. The man was in his thirties and had an elegant temperament. The woman's appearance was particularly moving, making one want to take pity on her. Only, a pair of long and short sabers hung from her slender waist. Between her brows, there was an awe-inspiring heroic spirit. Her appearance was extremely strange, as if she was not naturally formed, but rather a piece of unpolished jade that had been carved by the nation's top craftsmen. No matter what, this woman belonged to the type that would leave a lasting impression on one's mind. Hsu Fengnian turned his head and guessed that one person was the handsome man surnamed Lu from the Immortal Coffin Cave. At the same time, he recognized the other person. Even he couldn't help but feel some heartfelt astonishment. It was actually the delicate woman who had accompanied the Tanhua of Kejia Alley. At the time, her name was Fan Xiaochai. Afterwards, she used the identity of Lin Yulin's Detective Lin to enter the prince's mansion on Mount Qingliang. She investigated the terrain and waited for an opportunity to assassinate him, the Prince of Wutongin, His Royal Highness. Afterwards, her actions were naturally exposed, and she was handed over to the head spy, Lu Qiu 'er. Hsu Fengnian did not pay any more attention to her after that. He only heard that this woman's real name was Fan Xiaochai, and that she was the granddaughter of Northern Han's Great General, Fan Baoshan. She was worthy of being a woman who would stupidly run to Liangzhou to kill him, Hsu Fengnian. She didn't even put much thought into choosing an alias. However, later on, during the fishing net at the Qingrong Monastery in Hwangnam County, she was precisely the masked warrior who had nailed the monastery master, Daoist Qing Huai, to the wall with a single blade. When old friends met, Hsu Fengnian didn't bat an eyelid. Fan Xiaochai was the same. Only her eyes flickered with complex and gloomy emotions. Unexpectedly, there wasn't much reasonable hatred. This caused Hsu Fengnian to feel even more amazed.
The two people's gazes quietly crossed. The elegant scholar had already opened his mouth and respectfully said to the old man, "Disciple of the Immortal Coffin Cave, Lu Haiya, pays respects to Immortal Master Wei."
The old man nodded his head, his attention remaining on Fan Xiaochai. He got straight to the point and asked, "Lu Haiya, this young lady is the wondrous woman that the master of your Sinking Sword Cave favored. She is already so old, yet in the end, she doesn't even care about her face anymore. She begged her to abandon the blade and practice the sword, insisting on taking her as a closed-door disciple?"
Lu Haiya smiled gently and replied, "Lu Haiya does not dare to comment on how my revered teacher haggles. However, perhaps Immortal Master Wei does not know this, but Miss Fan was originally the granddaughter of Northern Han's number one general, Great General Fan. She was stranded among the commoners. By chance, a hermit senior of the wulin took a liking to her innate talent and taught her blade techniques … "
The old man impatiently waved his hand and said, "This Old Man is meaningless to talk about. Back then, This Old Man was Gu Jiantang's lackey, not a former subordinate of Beiliang. Northern Han was massacred by the Xu people. If you want revenge, you can't look for This Old Man."
Lu Haiya smiled but did not speak.
The young woman who had entered the Immortal's Coffin Cave not long ago narrowed her eyes, filled with killing intent. Despite her young age, she seemed to possess the magnificent aura of a Junior Grandmaster.
The old man laughed self-deprecatingly, replying with embarrassment, "If we were to ask This Old Man for a weapon, it would be barely acceptable. After all, This Old Man's blade and sword are somewhat related to the Fan family of Northern Han. Fortunately, they are both on the New Martial Arts Review's Weapon List. The Sparrowtail Blade is the sixteenth most famous blade, renowned for its unparalleled sharpness. The Rusted Copper Sword is the twelfth most famous blade, unconventional and exceptionally blunt."
The daughter of the Mountain Lord of Mount Fuxiao lightly tapped the hilt of the Golden Threaded Saber with her index finger. Smiling brilliantly, she said, "Oh, you've come to other people's territory to act wildly. How would this young lady know that the master of the Sinking Sword Cave does not have such ability? Back then, when Yuqi and the Thirty-Six Swords of the Sinking Sword Cave fought at Mount Fuxiao, weren't they equally matched? The master does not stand out, but the disciple is jumping around quite fiercely. "
Fan Xiaochai calmly replied, "Is Mi Fengjie worthy of being my master?"
Encountering a love rival in her own territory, the woman with the Golden Threaded Saber suddenly gripped the hilt of her saber, as if she was about to draw it out and fight. It was as if whoever won would be able to take Young Master Lu home.
The disciple of Mi Fengjie of the Sinking Sword Cave, Lu Haiya, was clearly somewhat embarrassed, coughing a few times.
The old man called Wei Jin by Shen Li smiled playfully. "The youngest daughter of the Fan family, with great difficulty, has ascended to the second level realm. Since you have not yet stabilized, you should not rashly fight to the death with others. If you do not listen to the advice of your elders, you will easily suffer losses."
Fan Xiaochai's expression was cold. "Can realms be eaten?"
