“Cloud Mist Mountain Range?”
Wang Yu and Chen Hua were walking in the mountains with more than 20 elites of the Four Thunder Swordsmanship Sect.
The Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet was about to begin.
They had less than two months to go and Daoist Siji ordered the two of them to lead the disciples to the Cloud Mist Mountain Range to practice the Sword Dao and train.
To put it bluntly, they were going there for bloodshed.
The competitions that usually took place in the sect were not considered much because they knew that their opponents would not hurt them. Thus, in order to improve their attainments in the Sword Dao, they were sent to the Cloud Mist Mountain Range in advance to fight against the demonic beasts.
A month would be enough for the disciples to improve greatly.
On the other hand, Wang Yu and Chen Hua didn’t have many complaints either. They simply brought their disciples to the Cloud Mist Mountain Range.
They met a figure less than four hours after entering the Cloud Mist Mountain Range.
The two of them were rather cautious. Although they were already cultivators who had reached the Foundation Establishment realm, there were experts hidden in the Cloud Mist Mountain Range and some cultivators liked attacking others and stealing treasures. Even the prestige of the Four Thunder Swordsmanship Sect could not deter them.
Hence the two of them kept their guards up.
However, when they looked at the two people near them, they were slightly stunned.
They were an old man and a young man.
The old man was fine. He looked ordinary, but he seemed to have been injured.
As for that young man…
The two of them looked at him and felt that he was somewhat familiar, but soon, Elder Wang Yu was stunned.
He stared at the man in front of him.
He was dressed in a plain robe, but he looked handsome and full of vigor. Wang Yu found his sword-like eyes and arrogance to be very familiar.
He looked extremely familiar to him.
In an instant, it was as if a bolt of lightning flashed in Wang Yu’s mind as a portrait popped up in it.
In the portrait, the evening sun was cast over the mountains and an existence that seemed like a peerless Sword Immortal was standing on the cliff.
The existence that resembled a Sword Immortal looked almost identical to the man in front of him.
He looked carefully again.
Wang Yu and Chen Hua then inhaled sharply.
The two of them looked at each other unanimously with shock in their eyes.
The Commander of Jin Nation?
In an instant, the two of them froze in place, as if they had been struck by lightning.
Daoist Tai Hua and Su Changyu who were exchanging glances with them were shocked too.
‘Four Thunder Swordsmanship Sect?’
‘That’s the best sect in Qingzhou.’
In their eyes, the Four Thunder Swordsmanship Sect was like a hegemon and the two of them were worlds apart from it.
They weren’t even fit enough to bow down and subdue to the Four Thunder Swordsmanship Sect.
It was the only first-grade Sword Sect in Qingzhou.
There were more than 10,000 disciples and numerous outstanding elites in the sect.
Joining the Four Thunder Swordsmanship Sect was tantamount to bringing glory to their ancestors.
The two of them were a bit surprised as they didn’t expect to run into the disciples of the Four Thunder Swordsmanship Sect there.
At the same time, they were also a little relieved.
Since they ran into disciples of the Four Thunder Swordsmanship Sect, they naturally didn’t have to worry about being robbed.
Well, because they weren’t worthy of it.
All the valuables they had with them were worth less than their salaries.
Su Changyu found it bizarre.
‘Why do these two old men keep staring at me?’
‘Have they never seen a handsome man before?’
‘Are these two guys interested in men?’
‘Wow.’
Su Changyu got nervous again, but the more nervous he was, the colder his expression. He didn’t know why that was the case either. It had always been that way since he was a child.
Both parties remained silent.
The remaining disciples did not know what was going on, but they dared not spout any nonsense. After all, since the two elders didn’t say anything, they naturally did not dare to do anything.
They were looking at each other.
It seemed very awkward.
Wang Yu continuously told himself to stay cool and calm, and not to let Su Changyu discover that he had discovered that Su Changyu was the inspection commander.
Not only did Elder Wang Yu think that way, Elder Chen Hua thought that way too.
Finally, Elder Wang Yu made the awkwardness cease.
“Fellow Daoists, what… are you doing here?”
Elder Wang Yu bit the bullet and asked.
He didn’t know what to say, but he knew that he couldn’t stop talking yet.
The person in front of him was the inspection commander of Jin Nation, the Sword Dao powerhouse whom even Daoist Siji revered.
When encountering such an existence, it would be impossible not to try sucking up to them.
Elders Wang Yu and Chen Hua wished they could immediately turn into dogs and lick him.
However, they were reminded of Daoist Siji’s instructions not to let the inspection commander notice that he had discovered his identity if they encountered him.
Hence, even if they knew who he was, they had to pretend not to.
Thinking of this, they gradually calmed down.
However, they fell silent again because Su Changyu didn’t answer him.
Perhaps because it was too quiet and the atmosphere was thus too awkward. Daoist Wang Yu had no choice but to continue speaking and try to ease the awkwardness once again.
“Fellow Daoists, what are you two doing here?”
Elder Wang Yu asked slowly.
However, as soon as he said that, Daoist Wang Yu immediately regretted his decision because his question was rather absurd.
On the other hand, Daoist Chen Hua was confused. ‘What kind of an opening line is that?’
Although those words were a little abrupt, they indeed disrupted the peace.
Daoist Tai Hua and Su Changyu couldn’t help but be stunned.
They could tell at a glance that the two people in front of them were elders of the Four Thunder Swordsmanship Sect. Although they didn’t know what the cultivation levels of the two elders were, they knew that they were definitely not ordinary.
Even though they had met, they should have just left after making eye contact.
‘Why did they ask what we’re doing here?’
Daoist Tai Hua was a little nervous.
‘Do the people of the Four Thunder Swordsmanship Sect like killing others and stealing their belongings?’
The scene gradually became quiet again.
However, Daoist Tai Hua dared not ignore their questions. He could only force himself to smile awkwardly.
“Nothing… I’m just taking a stroll.”
Daoist Tai Hua answered, looking a little nervous.
Everyone was speechless.
Su Changyu did not utter a single word. He was very nervous, but he looked very aloof, though he dared not say anything.
Daoist Wang Yu and Daoist Chen Hua looked at each other, at a loss for words.
In the end, the eagle-eyed Daoist Chen Hua managed to tell that Daoist Tai Hua was injured.
Hence, he couldn’t help but ask, “Fellow Daoist, are you injured?”
“I have superior-class spirit medicine here that can be used for healing wounds.”
Those words were quite awkward and out of the blue, but the two of them didn’t know what else to say.
They had to pretend that they didn’t know Su Changyu, but they also had to leave a good impression on him.
Hence, they could only awkwardly say that.
“Huh?”
Daoist Tai Hua was about to turn them down, but when the jade bottle was opened, a clear fragrance permeated the air, and Daoist Tai Hua managed to recognize what kind of pill it was at a glance.
It was the White Dew Spiritual Muscle Elixir.
It was a superior-grade pill that was worth 50 inferior-grade Spirit Stones.
He was lucky enough to have seen it in a store before.
It was extremely effective in healing internal injuries. Daoist Tai Hua stopped talking all of a sudden.
On the other hand, Daoist Chen Hua was extremely enthusiastic as he simply handed the pill to Daoist Tai Hua courteously.
“This… This!” Daoist Tai Hua was indeed dumbfounded. ‘What’s going on? Why is he being so nice to me?’
Su Changyu was a little dumbfounded too and he couldn’t help but look at Daoist Tai Hua.
Daoist Tai Hua thought about it carefully and he couldn’t help but be enlightened.
That was the true nature of members of major sects.
When they were outside, they would help those who were weak and do justice where it was due.
Daoist Tai Hua figured it out.
He thought that they were treating him well not because of any ulterior motives, but purely because they had good morals. That was the upbringing of members of large sects.
‘I’m convinced.’
‘I’m convinced.’
‘I’m totally convinced.’
Daoist Wang Yu and Daoist Chen Hua stood opposite them, still smiling after handing over the pill. However, they seemed a little stiff. It was obvious that they were restrained and nervous.
However, Su Changyu and Daoist Tai Hua were nervous and restrained too. Hence, the two parties didn’t discover anything different about each other.
“This pill is too expensive, thank you for your kindness, Fellow Daoist.”
Although Daoist Tai Hua liked taking advantage of others, he didn’t dare to do so this time.
The two of them were elders of the Four Thunder Swordsmanship Sect who were dignified and were definitely big shots of Qingzhou. Although they had good morals and character, he dared not accept that favor.
As soon as he said that, Daoist Wang Yu immediately stood out.
“Fellow Daoist, you’re making yourself seem like an outsider by saying that. I may be the deputy Sect Leader of the Four Thunder Swordsmanship Sect, but we’re all human cultivators and it’s only right that we support each other. Besides, we’re from the Four Thunder Swordsmanship Sect too. Our Sect Leader Daoist Siji said that humans ought to help each other out, only then will we reach the pinnacle. Fellow Daoist, don’t stand on ceremony.”
Daoist Wang Yu stood out and introduced himself before putting in a good word for Daoist Siji. He made Daoist Tai Hua admire and revere the Four Thunder Swordsmanship Sect even more.
‘Look.’
‘Look at them and look at us.’
‘It’s no wonder they’re a large sect. Their upbringing and morals are impeccable. I’m really convinced.’
Daoist Tai Hua was in awe.
Su Changyu was convinced too.
He had heard of the Four Thunder Swordsmanship Sect and in particular, Daoist Siji was his idol.
However, he never thought that the cultivators of the Four Thunder Swordsmanship Sect would have such good moral character.
It was truly incredible. In his opinion, elders and disciples of such sects ought to be arrogant, condescending, and tyrannical.
‘Tsk tsk! I was really superficial.’
Su Changyu was filled with endless emotions.
At this moment, Daoist Chen Hua couldn’t help but feel jealous when he saw Wang Yu flattering them.
“Where are you two going? Do you need us to lead the way? Have you eaten? Would you like to have some water?”
Daoist Chen Hua also wanted to leave a good impression on Su Changyu, but he really didn’t know what to say, so he seemed to be beating around the bush.
However, upon hearing this, Daoist Tai Hua immediately said, “We want to leave the Cloud Mist Mountain Range, but we don’t know where to go. Could you please lead the way?”
Daoist Tai Hua was a bit eager.
He just wanted to leave the Cloud Mist Mountain Range now, anything else could be discussed.
As soon as he heard this, Daoist Chen Hua wanted to say something, but Daoist Wang Yu immediately smiled.
“Oh, Fellow Daoist, walk in the direction behind us for four hours and you’ll more or less be able to get out. Fellow Daoist, I can tell that you’re seriously injured, why don’t you sit here and recuperate for a while? We’ll protect you, lest you get into any danger by leaving with injuries.”
Daoist Wang Yu said.
Daoist Tai Hua was at a loss for words again.
‘A good man.’
‘What a good man.’
‘He’s such a good man.’
‘There are surprisingly still such kind Samaritans these days.’
“Thank you so much then, Fellow Daoists.”
Daoist Tai Hua indeed wanted to recuperate and treat his injuries.
He had completely let his guard down too.
After all, they had already given him a pill that was worth 50 inferior-grade Spirit Stones. Why would they covet his belongings?
“Fellow Daoist, I’ll help you heal your injuries quickly.”
Overjoyed, Daoist Wang Yu hurriedly went over enthusiastically to help Daoist Tai Hua heal his injuries.
On the other hand, Su Changyu stood at the side and watched quietly.
He dared not say anything.
However, at this moment, one of the disciples of the Four Thunder Swordsmanship Sect suddenly took a few steps forward and came in front of him, looking rather respectful.
However, Su Changyu was somehow very nervous.
