Qin Wu hugged his sword and sat under a fake mountain in the Official Office. As the meeting was just one day away, more and more people came to visit Jiang Dingyi, and he became especially vigilant.
Ever since he dealt with the assassination of the God of Scales, although he was not the one who killed EsGod's host body, he had dared to face EsGod in that battle and displayed admirable strength, so his reputation had also grown.
After that, quite a few administrative officials came over to offer him a high price to become a bodyguard, but he rejected all of them. Previously, he had promised to stay by Jiang Dingyi's side for a year, so he was determined not to leave halfway. This was his integrity as a Tianxia swordsman.
After many officials were rejected, not only were they not angry, they admired him even more. After all, no one wanted to entrust their lives to someone who could be tempted by benefits at any time.
At this time, he pulled out his sword and looked at it carefully.
After he pulled out his sword in front of the God of Scales, he felt that his essence, energy, and spirit seemed to have improved. He could even maintain his peak state for an entire day without feeling tired. In the past, it was already amazing that he could last for half a summer.
However, he did not know what was going on because in his master's teachings, the realm he was at was undoubtedly the limit that mortals could reach, and it was impossible for him to break through.
He could vaguely feel that he could do more, but he did not know where to break through.
He closed his eyes and thought. Perhaps the only ones who could give him the answer now were those Xuanxiu in Xuanfu.
Thinking of this, a figure under a hat flashed in his mind.
"Master, Master."
A young disciple ran over and wiped his sweat. He said excitedly, "Master, Manager Jiang said that he's going to visit a guest and asked us to prepare."
Qin Wu's eyes turned sharp. "Where are you going?"
Jiang Dingyi never made things difficult for his guards when he went out. He would always tell them in advance where he was going and inform Qin Wu. There were almost no last-minute plans.
The young disciple hurriedly said, "We're not going to the city, we're going to Taiyang Academy."
"Taiyang Academy?"
Qin Wu's expression relaxed slightly. The inner city platform was not absolutely safe, but it was definitely the most heavily guarded place in the Protectorate. Needless to say, the School of Learning was even more so. Xuanfu was close by. If there was a problem here, then no place in the Protectorate was safe.
He said, "Who are you visiting? Did the manager say anything? "
The young disciple said in a low voice, "I heard that when we went to visit Zhang Canzhi, he told us not to make a big fuss, just a few people would be enough.
"Oh?"
Qin Wu considered for a moment, and said, "Go get Little Zhan, Little Ling, and tell the manager that I'll be right there."
"Yes!"
The young disciple clasped his hands and left excitedly.
After a while, a capable young man and a beautiful young girl walked over. They cupped their fists and greeted him, "Master."
Qin Wu looked at the two of them. They were full of energy and spirit. He was quite satisfied and said, "Follow me."
When they arrived at the side hall of the yamen, Jiang Dingyi was already standing there in casual clothes. When he saw them coming, he cupped his hands and said, "Master Qin, thank you for your trouble."
Qin Wu returned the greeting and said, "Manager, you're too kind. Just the few of us?"
Jiang Dingyi said, "Yes, it's not appropriate for too many people to go to the academy. I'll have to trouble the few of you. However, that place isn't like other places, so there are some things that you have to pay attention to."
He gave a few more instructions and left the yamen without taking any servants with him.
The five of them traveled lightly. Before they arrived at the academy, Jiang Dingyi spoke a few words with the gatekeeper before leading Qin Wu and the rest inside.
After entering the academy, Qin Wu didn't look sideways and just followed beside Jiang Dingyi. As for his younger disciples, they were quietly looking left and right, looking at the various palaces and buildings here.
As swordsmen, although they were literate, they could only read newspapers and write letters at most. Sometimes, they would even forget to write when they picked up a pen.
However, those who could stay in the academy were the group of people with the most knowledge in the Protectorate General. They instinctively felt a sense of reverence.
Jiang Dingyi walked along the path of flowers and trees planted on both sides of the academy. Although the path wasn't short, the scenery here was beautiful, and the flowers were fragrant. Walking here made one feel happy.
Unknowingly, the five of them came to a residence.
Jiang Dingyi said. Then, he walked forward and knocked on the door gently. "Is Lord Zhang in? Jiang Dingyi is here to visit. "
After a short while, the courtyard door opened and Zhang Yu walked out. He raised his sleeves and clasped his hands together, saying, "Greetings, Administrator."
Jiang Dingyi smiled and clasped his hands together, saying, "Greetings, Zhang Jun."
Zhang Yu stepped sideways, saying, "Administrator, please."
After Jiang Dingyi invited him in, he followed Zhang Yu all the way to the top floor. He stood there and looked around. Not only could he see many sceneries of the academy, but he could also see Auspicious Light City. He praised, "Good place."
Zhang Yu came to his side, saying, "Administrator, are you here for tomorrow's meeting?"
Jiang Dingyi smiled and said, "I'm sure the academy will tell Zhang Jun. It's not up to me to say anything. I'm here today because someone asked me to pass a message to Zhang Jun."
Zhang Yu asked, "May I know who it is?"
Jiang Dingyi said, "It's Liu Gong Fu."
Zhang Yu gestured with his hand at this time, saying, "Administrator Jiang, please."
Jiang Dingyi clasped his hands and sat down under the canopy. Li Qinghe came up and poured a cup of tea for both of them, then retreated to the side.
Zhang Yu said, "I don't know what Liu Gong Fu wants to say to you."
Jiang Dingyi looked at him and said, "Liu Gong Fu said that he will try his best to weaken the opposition from the government residence, but he also asked Zhang Jun not to talk about the government residence at this meeting."
Zhang Yu didn't comment. He had stayed in the Official Yamen for a while and had done some research on Liu Fengquan. No matter what Liu Fengquan did, he had his own interests in mind. Therefore, the so-called suppression of opposition was in fact done by someone who had done enough homework. Liu Fengquan was just doing a favor.
As for not talking about the government residence at the meeting, it was to ask him not to raise any suggestions to change the current situation of the government residence after he became a "scholar".
He naturally wouldn't say much about this. The current situation couldn't be changed with just a few words.
However, although he had the position of a deputy in name, it was just for convenience. He was essentially a Xuanxiu. As long as he didn't violate the laws of Tianxia, he didn't need to explain anything to the Commissar.
He said, "Administrator, please tell Liu Gong Fu on my behalf that the meeting hasn't been decided yet, so I don't dare to make this promise."
Jiang Dingyi nodded and said, "I understand. I will definitely pass on the message."
Following this, the two didn't mention anything about the meeting and the Commissar. They only talked about the articles and what they had seen.
In the lower level of the residence, after Qin Wu and the others were invited into the room, they were called to the guest hall.
Qin Wu had just sat down when he frowned and looked around.
Xiao Zhan noticed and asked in a small voice, "Master, what's wrong?"
Qin Wu said, "Nothing."
As a swordsman, his intuition was very sharp. After entering this room, he kept feeling that there was a pair of eyes watching him.
After a while, the young girl Ling 'er came over and whispered, "Master, look …"
Qin Wu looked in the direction of her gaze and saw a golden little leopard cat lying on the high platform. Its little tail was gently swaying there.
He narrowed his eyes. He clearly didn't see this little leopard cat just now, but now …
The young disciple saw Miao Danjun and felt that it was quite interesting. He said with interest, "There's a little cat here?" He stood up and stretched out his hand, wanting to touch it a few times.
Qin Wu said in a low voice, "Stop, don't go up."
The young disciple was a little confused. "Master?" It was just a little cat. It should be fine to touch it a few times, right?
Qin Wu said, "Look carefully."
The young disciple turned his head and took a closer look. He found that there was a layer of spiritual light floating around the little leopard cat. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "Spirituality?"
Qin Wu said seriously, "This is a spiritual leopard cat. You are not qualified to treat it as an ordinary cat. If it plays with you, all of you together won't be enough to play with it."
The swordsman Xiao Zhan said, "This is Zhang Canzhi's cat, right?"
Qin Wu shook his head and said, "For a Xuanxiu like Zhang Canzhi, it should be just an ordinary pet."
At this time, the young girl Xiao Ling asked expectantly, "Master, can we swordsmen be as powerful as Xuanxiu?"
Qin Wu fell silent and didn't answer.
The five people waited here for a long time. During this time, Li Qinghe sent some fruits and vegetables, but no one touched them.
About a summer later, they heard voices upstairs. Then they saw Zhang Yu and Jiang Zhan coming down.
Qin Wu and the others all stood up.
Jiang Dingyi cupped his hands to the five people and said, "Thank you for waiting, Master Qin."
Qin Wu returned the greeting and said, "You are too polite."
At this time, he looked at Zhang Yu and cupped his hands. "Zhang Canzhi, I have a few words to ask you. I wonder if it's possible?"
Zhang Yu glanced at him and nodded. "Master Qin, come with me."
Qin Wu cupped his hands to Jiang Dingyi and followed Zhang Yu to the backyard. He saw the bamboo sword on the shelf at a glance. For some reason, he felt that the bamboo sword seemed to have its own spirituality.
Zhang Yu noticed his gaze and said, "Master Qin, do you want to ask about the sword?"
Qin Wu nodded and admitted, "I can't hide it from Zhang Canzhi." He paused. "Since that day when I encountered the God of Balance, I feel that my divine Qi is better than before. It seems that I can do many things that I couldn't do in the past. However, the sword skills that I have learned have already reached the end. I don't understand the reason. After thinking about it, only someone like Zhang Canzhi who cultivates Xuan can give me the answer."
Zhang Yu looked at him and said, "Master Qin, it's not that you have a breakthrough in your sword skills, but that you have comprehended spirituality."
"Spirituality?"
Qin Wu's expression changed as he vaguely touched on something.
Zhang Yu said, "Master Qin, you have been practicing the sword all your life. Your essence, energy, and mind have long been integrated. However, as you said, your sword skills have reached the end. This is because your mortal body can no longer control a higher level of sword skills. Last time, you encountered the God of Balance. Under the spiritual pressure of EsGod, your heart summoned your spirituality in order to resist."
He could see that Qin Wu's spirituality was very weak because the latter could not break through the restrictions of his physical body.
However, even if it was only a little bit of spirituality awakening, it meant that he had extraordinary power. From then on, Qin Wu had the means to fight against creatures with spirituality because he could use his sword to cut through that layer of spiritual light.
At this moment, with a thought, a book flew out from the study and floated in front of Qin Wu. He said, "Master Qin, you can take this book and read it. However, you were able to awaken your spirituality because of your unyielding will and pure heart. This is not something that everyone can do."
Qin Wu reached out and took the book. He took two steps back and cupped his fists. Solemnly bowed to Zhang Yu. Then, he raised his head and said solemnly, "Zhang Canzhi, I think that my ability alone is not enough. However, if I can walk a path and be used by the thousands of swordsmen of Tianxia in the Protectorate General, that is what a great person should do! Zhang Canzhi, thank you! "
