The Venerable Swordsman

Chapter 20 I Only Have My Brother!

A Great Sword Cultivator?

He was not a Great Sword Cultivator of course. His sword could send out the Sword Light only because he had activated ‘One Sword Strike Decides Life and Death’. The Sword Light was a certain particularity of this sword skill.

He himself had not yet reached the level of Great Sword Cultivator. But of course, he was not far from that!

When the Spiritual Sword in Ye Xuan’s hands gave out a faint Sword Light, everyone in the room suddenly quieted down!

The several strong men who had already walked in front of Ye Xuan stopped, their eyes were full of shock and solemnity!

In their eyes, though Sword Cultivators were not many, Common Sword Cultivators were not rare. However, Great Sword Cultivators were different.

How many people were there in Jiang Country?

However, there were less than a hundred recorded Great Sword Cultivators. Not that it mattered, but the most terrifying thing was how old was this boy in front of them?

What kind of terrifying force could make such a young Great Sword Cultivator?

At this time, the veiled woman immediately looked down at the two bodies on the ground and ordered, “Throw the two bodies to dogs. Also, flog the person who has just escaped to death and throw him out of the Cloud Ship!”

With this, she looked at Ye Xuan who was in front of her. “Arrange a top grade room for this Childe. Don’t neglect him!”

After that, she turned and left!

In the room, those strong guards slightly bowed to Ye Xuan and turned away. One of the guards said, “Please follow me, Childe!”

Ye Xuan hesitated a little, then together with Ye Ling, he followed him.

With the guard leading the way, the siblings came to the top grade room. Upon entering the top grade room, they were completely stunned.

It was a large room!

A very large room!

The entire top grade room was at least ten times larger than the room that they had lived before, the internal facilities of which were also very luxurious. Its surrounding layout was just like a palace. Even the floor was paved with some unknown furs, which felt very soft beneath their feet!

Behind Ye Xuan and his sister, the guard gave a little salute and then went out.

“Wow!”

Ye Ling looked around with amazement. “Brother, this room is so big and it looks very nice!”

Ye Xuan tenderly rubbed the little head of Ye Ling, smiling lightly without speaking.

Seemingly thinking of something, she lifted her small head and looked at Ye Xuan, “Brother, is it because you are a Great Sword Cultivator that they treat us so nicely?”

Ye Xuan nodded.

“Why?” Ye Ling was puzzled.

Ye Xuan smiled, “Because they are very realistic!”

Ye Ling still wanted to ask something, but at this time, there was a knock on the door. Ye Xuan turned and said, “Please come in!”

The door opened and a woman came in!

It was the previous veiled woman!

The veiled woman sat at one side and she motioned to Ye Xuan, “Childe, please take a seat!”

Ye Xuan sat at the opposite side of the veiled woman. Meanwhile, Ye Ling obediently sat a short distance away and she curiously stared at the veiled woman.

The veiled woman poured Ye Xuan a cup of tea. “This is Bamboo Tip Fairy Tea. Childe, please try it!”

Ye Ling nodded slightly. “It is very kind of you, Miss.”

After that, he took a sip. The sweet and cool tea flew down his throat, which made him feel very comfortable!

Good tea!

Ye Xuan put down the teacup and looked at the veiled woman in front of him. “I’m Ye Xuan, from Qing City.”

The veiled woman glanced at Ye Xuan, “I’m Han Xiangmeng.”

Ye Xuan smiled but said nothing. She only said her name. Obviously, she didn’t want to reveal too much about herself.

Han Xiangmeng gently took a sip of the tea, and then said, “Childe, you have become a Great Sword Cultivator at such a young age. I suppose you must be trained by a distinguished family. Where did you get your training?”

She was inquiring about his origins!

Ye Xuan shook his head and smiled.

Seeing this, Han Xiangmeng’s blackened eyebrows frowned slightly, “What do you mean, Childe?”

Ye Xuan looked directly at Han Xiangmeng, “Miss Han, pardon me for speaking frankly, do you value only their background when you associate with others?”

Han Xiangmeng narrowed her eyes. Obviously, she did not expect Ye Xuan to say so.

Ye Xuan said again, “Miss Han, if you want to make friends with others, you should treat them with sincerity rather than play tricks on them, or even emphasize only on their backgrounds. Of course, if it is Miss Han’s rule of making friends, then I’m sorry that I won’t be able to keep you company.”

After he finished, he got up and looked at Ye Ling who was not far away. “Let’s go!”

Ye Ling obediently ran to Ye Xuan!

Ye Xuan left without a shred hesitation, but when the siblings walked to the door, Han Xiangmeng abruptly said, “Childe, please hold on!”

Ye Xuan stopped. Han Xiangmeng whispered, “I apologize for my previous intrusion. Please don’t blame me, Childe.”

Ye Xuan turned to look at Han Xiangmeng, “Miss Han, you overlooked my previous killing, and I will remember your kindness! I must pay you back in the future!”

Speaking like this, he actually alienated her deliberately!

Han Xiangmeng naturally understood Ye Xuan’s implications but she made no further explanation. Instead, she nodded slightly and said, “It is late. Childe, rest early!”

After that, she turned and left the room.

Outside the room, an old man appeared behind Han Xiangmeng. “Miss?”

Han Xiangmeng stopped and said, “He is indeed a Sword Cultivator with his nasty temper!”

The old man nodded. “Sword Cultivators usually travel alone such that their temper is somewhat weird. You revealed your name to him, which was sincere enough. But this guy actually thought that you were arrogant, that was really…”

Han Xiangmeng shook her head. “It doesn’t matter. He has a straightforward character. Although he makes me feel quite uncomfortable, he is much better than those people who speak in one way but think in another. Give out my order that they can live in this top grade room before they reach the Imperial Capital and give him top-grade treatment without the slightest neglect!”

After that, she walked out quickly and disappeared in the distance.

In the room.

“Brother? Are Great Sword Cultivators very powerful?”

“They should be very powerful!”

“Aren’t you a Great Sword Cultivator?”

“Of course, I’m a Great Sword Cultivator. Well, I’ll become one soon!”

“Wow, brother, you cheated…”

“Hum… You know too much, I’ll kill you to keep my secret!”

“Hehe, I am not afraid…”

An hour later, Ye Xuan tucked Ye Ling who was asleep into the quilt and entered the Prison World Tower.

Practicing!

Only the strong ones would be respected!

The reality of society was teaching him this truth all the time!

Now he was already the best in the Qi Varying Realm and also the best among Sword Cultivators. His speed, strength, and reaction ability almost had reached the limit.

It could be said that although he was now in the Qi Varying Realm, a normal person in the Qi harnessing realm couldn’t match up to him at all in strength now. In the Qi Varying Realm, although it could not be said that he was invincible, not many people would be his match!

However, he was very clear that practicing the Tao of the Martial Arts was like sailing against the water, if he didn’t advance, he would fall behind. Therefore, he didn’t dare to slack off a bit!

Now he and the shadow were evenly matched when they fought against each other. But naturally, he was not satisfied with this. His goal was to defeat the shadow!

In the Prison World Tower, Ye Xuan was alone, and he had to get used to being alone. As for the mysterious woman, she was usually silent. Ye Xuan did not bother her because he knew that she definitely was not willing to chat with him.

Cultivation was boring and lonely!

After four hours, Ye Xuan stopped. He stood in the same place with his sword, and his whole body was soaked with sweat.

Ye Xuan looked at the Ling Xiao Sword in his hand and then said, “Predecessor, I feel that I have reached my limit each time I practice with the shadow. But the next time I practice with it, I have the same feeling. Have you reinforced the strength of the shadow?”

After a while, the voice of the mysterious woman sounded, “Having this feeling proves that you are improving every time. As for the limit, there is no limit at all. Your current foundation is good only in places like Qing City or Jiang Country. Compared to people in big countries or big clan sects, your foundation is only up to the average. Therefore, it is good for you to stay in the Qi Varying Realm for a while now. Of course, you can’t stay too long in this realm and also the thing about the Spiritual Swords, you should figure it out by yourself!”

Ye Xuan nodded, “Understood.”

What he had to do now was to upgrade himself in every aspect before he reached the Qi Harnessing Realm!

He stopped cultivating, then washed up and then went to rest.

He should only cultivate within his limits, otherwise, he might practice to death!

After an hour, Ye Xuan woke up!

Ye Ling woke up too!

Soon, someone sent their breakfast full of splendid dishes and the siblings almost ate them all!

They had no other choice because they were used to being poor, so naturally they were not willing to waste anything!

After they finished eating, Ye Xuan took Ye Ling out of the room and they went to the deck of the Cloud Ship!

At this moment, the Cloud Ship was already in the air which was at least a thousand meters away from the ground.

Countless people had already gathered on the deck. The siblings walked to the bow, the best location of the ship, which only allowed people from the top grade room.

Ye Xuan looked up. This ship was surrounded by mountains in the distance and there were birds flying across these mountains from time to time.

“Wow!”

Next to Ye Xuan, Ye Ling said with excitement, “Brother, look, those mountains are getting smaller.”

Ye Xuan gently rubbed Ye Ling’s little head, and then he looked up into the distance where there were green mountains and white clouds. Ye Xuan was a little distracted.

When he was on the ground, the scenery he could see was limited. But now, when he was in the air, what he saw was completely different from what he saw on the ground, and hence he thought differently.

Qing City was very small, but the world was big!

He was very small, but the world was big!

When Ye Ling saw Ye Xuan’s appearance, she suddenly quieted down. She knew that her brother was probably thinking of something, so she went to the side of the ship. With her hands on the railing, she exclaimed, “It’s really beautiful!”

“What a bumpkin!”

Just then, a harsh voice came into Ye Ling’s ears and Ye Ling turned to look towards that voice. Not far from her stood a little boy who was dressed in luxurious clothes, and he was of the same age as her. But he was so fat that she could scarcely see his eyes behind his fat cheeks!

Ye Ling looked away quickly because she didn’t want to make trouble for her brother.

However, that little boy walked up to Ye Ling. He sized Ye Ling up contemptuously, “Look at your clothes, there are even patches on them. Can’t you afford new clothes?”

Ye Ling did not care, she answered him indifferently, “I can wear it anyway. My brother is all I need!”

The little boy patted on his own clothes and said proudly, “Do you know what this cloth is made of? This cloth is made of the fur of spirit foxes and spirit animals, worth 100,000 pieces of your clothes!”

Ye Ling glanced at the little boy’s clothes and said, “I don’t care because I have my brother.”

The little boy took out a crystal clear jade, and Ye Ling’s eyes were suddenly attracted by it.

The jade was pure and flawless which looked very beautiful!

Seeing that Ye Ling was attracted by it, the little boy proudly said, “This is a good Spiritual Jade. It’s worth a thousand pieces of gold, do you have any?”

Ye Ling snorted, “I have my brother!”

The little boy got angry, “Can you stop talking about your brother?”

Ye Ling ignored the little boy. She looked up at the distant sky and whispered, “I only have my brother…”
