Chapter 265: Sword Drawing

“Ling’er.” Seeing Su Ling’er’s delicate little face, Yun Che was filled with joy and warmth, and this sense of joy went straight to the depths of his soul, which could not be replaced by any other form of joy. All he needed to do was to just look at Ling’er quietly like this, and he felt that life was already perfect and flawless.

He didn’t realize that Su Ling’er’s mood changed almost exactly the same as his when she looked at him. Yun Che was because of his and Su Ling’er’s past life ties, as for Little Ling’er, she simply felt that way, simply liking the feeling of being close to him, not being able to find a reason, nor could she think of a reason: ”Hee, Brother Yun Che, Father asked me to come and tell you that at dusk, there will be a lot of people who will come to the clan, and then something rather bad can happen, and when that time comes, Brother Yun Che will have to stay here and close the door to your room tightly, never go out.”

“Oh?” The corners of Yun Che’s eyebrows twitched slightly before he nodded and smiled, “Okay, I know.”

“Hmm! Then …… Brother Yun Che, I’m going back oh. You and pretty sister should rest well.” Su Ling’er said with a smiling face, then took a small step back, but didn’t leave right away, a pair of eyes like rhinestones babbling as they looked at Yun Che for a while, with an appearance of being very reluctant to leave.

“Ah? Leaving in such a hurry? I still want to talk to Ling’er.”

Su Ling’er pouted her lips and said, “Father said that you guys should have traveled a long way and must be exhausted. There’s also Pretty Sister who is sick and also needs to rest, and told me to leave after delivering the message and not to disturb you …… Brother Yun Che, when Pretty Sister wakes up, will you play with me? And also and also …… Yun Che brother comes from a very far away place, I want to listen to Yun Che brother tell so many stories about far away places.”

Ling’er’s innocence, smile, and carefreeness at this moment was a kind of happiness that made Yun Che almost dizzy, and also luxuriously made Yun Che feel as if he was in a dream world. He smiled gently and nodded his head slowly and seriously, “Good! At that time, I will definitely accompany Ling’er to play, and also tell Ling’er many stories …… It’s a deal!”

“Uh-huh! Hee hee ……” Su Ling’er tilted her head, then happily ran away like a yellow warbler that had been set free.

Closing the door to his room, Yun Che’s face quickly became grave.

In the afternoon, a group of people would come over here? Something bad would happen? Could it be that ……

On the bed, Xia Qingyue’s eyes were lightly closed and she was in the midst of meditation, quietly absorbing and channeling the power from the Bodhi Imperial Heart Pill. However, her five senses were not closed, and the conversation between Yun Che and Su Ling’er was heard in her ears.

The time they stayed here was only a short twelve hours, and he naturally hated not being able to be with Ling’er every second. However, Xia Qing Yue must have someone to guard her side at this time, and Tai Su Sect was not a stable place that belonged to them, there was also an ill-intentioned Su Haoran, he categorically could not leave Xia Qing Yue’s side.

“Yun Che, you’ve been to this place before?” Jasmine suddenly said.

“No.”

“Then why are you so special to that little girl? You and her only just met today, yet your emotions are completely out of control because of her, and just now, in the sight of her, your soul’s reaction was even more extremely unusual! What the hell is going on here?” Jasmine asked in a very serious tone. Although it was a bit strange for her to say “that little girl” from the same little girl’s mouth ……

“…… “Yun Che tilted his head and softly said, “This is a secret that can’t be told.”

Jasmine: “……”

Throughout the afternoon, Yun Che had been guarding Xia Qingyue’s side. Xia Qingyue was lying there motionless, the moon white light on her body never faded, and this layer of light also magically isolated Xia Qingyue’s xuan power aura, allowing Yun Che to never be able to probe into her xuan power state at this moment. However, this was good, if the efficacy of the Bodhi Emperor Heart Pill was really as amazing as the legend said, Xia Qingyue would have the possibility to break through to the Heavenly Xuan Realm! If the turbulence of her Xuan energy breath during the breakthrough startled the Taisu Sect, it would instead invite unnecessary trouble.

The sky gradually darkened, the time was already near dusk, at this time, outside suddenly began to come waves of hurried footsteps, it seemed that many people were rushing to a place in a hurry, the footsteps had continued for a long time, not bursts of abnormal noise began to come from relatively far away, with Yun Che’s ear power, he could vaguely hear the sound of sneers and angry rebukes interspersed among them from time to time.

Yun Che glanced at Xia Qing Yue’s condition, walked over to the window, gently pulled the wooden window open a crack, and looked in the direction where the sounds were coming from.

In front of the Tai Su Sect’s Deliberation Hall, at this time, it was already filled with people, on one side, was the head of Tai Su Sect’s seat and a group of disciples, Su Hengshan stood at the very front, his eyes staring angrily. Opposite them, stood three hundred or so people dressed in black, under the cluster of people in black, were a dozen middle-aged people with different attire, there was also an old man who was strutting around sitting on a rattan chair that he had moved from nowhere, his eyes were half squinted, the old god was at ease with himself, with a haughty stance that did not put everyone in his eyes.

“Su Heng Yue! I have always honored you as my second brother, even though you had a backstabbing against me at the time of the sect master competition, I put it behind me and never mentioned it! These years, the resources within the door, but also in every way to give priority to you! You want to ancestor treasure, I can still understand, but you even went so far as to collude with the Blackwood Castle, to do this kind of ambition! Are you worthy of your ancestor, are you worthy of the Taisu Sect’s ancestors?!”

Su Hengshan’s face was filled with anger, and his gaze turned to another person, “And you! Li Yunji, when you suffered a great disaster and your life was on the line, who saved you? And who gave you these ten years of peace of mind? Is this how you repay my father and my Taisu Sect’s favor?”

Being pointed out by Su Hengshan, the middle-aged man named Li Yunji slightly stumbled backward, a trace of unnaturalness flashed on his face, but he immediately snorted coldly and said, “I naturally keep the kindness of the previous Sect Master in mind! It is also because of the great kindness of the previous Sect Master that I can’t watch Taisu Sect be destroyed in your hands! I gave up my position as Sect Master and handed over the key to the most precious treasure! If it wasn’t for your stubbornness, Tai Su Sect would have produced a powerful man who would have shocked Fusu! And as a result, Tai Su Sect would have leapt to become a top clan! Instead of being as inactive as it is now!”

“Hehe, what Yun Ji said is exactly right.” Su Heng Yue said smilingly, “My late father really made the biggest mistake of his life when he handed over the Sect Master position to you! If you had handed over the key to the supreme treasure earlier and cooperated with Blackwood Fort, this Jiangdong generation would have long been our world! Your stubbornness will only cause the entire Taisu Sect to be dragged down by you!” He glanced at the old man sitting there and laughed coldly, “Even the Great Elder who has never asked about the affairs of the sect has long since looked away! You’d better obediently hand over the position of Sect Leader and be at ease as a Teaching Elder! This position of Sect Master is not suitable for you at all!”

“Nonsense!” Su Hengshan laughed back in anger: “Blackwood Fort has always behaved despicably, has an extremely bad reputation outside, and has always been eyeing my Taisu Mountain’s resources, cooperating with Blackwood Fort is undoubtedly like seeking skin with a tiger, and it also corrupts my Taisu Sect’s hundred-year reputation! As for the clan’s most precious treasure, the ancestor clearly explained that it can only be taken out when my clan has a disciple who is talented and amazing enough to astonish the world, otherwise it would be a waste and ruin the clan’s greatest opportunity to prosper for nothing! If I take it out now, only then would I be apologizing to the ancestors.”

“I don’t like to hear this from Sect Master Su.” A middle-aged man in black slowly walked out, “Our Blackwood Fortress is incomparably sincere in wanting to cooperate with the Taisu Sect, you grant me medicinal herbs and crystals, and I grant you divine weapons, a solid win-win situation. In comparison, Brother Heng Yue’s insight and vision is way better than yours, no wonder your Taisu Sect has been stagnant and dead all these years.”

“Blackwood Green Tooth!” Su Hengshan angrily looked at the black clothed man who spoke, “You despicable villain, I have yet to settle the score with you for your intention to take my daughter in the morning, and you actually have the guts to personally come to the door! Your hallowed Blackwood Fort Fort Master, actually letting your own disciples to lay their hands on a little girl who is only ten years old, you really can afford to live up to your name of Blackwood Fort Master!!!”

“Hehehe!” Being scolded angrily by Su Hengshan in public, Blackwood Qingya was half annoyed, “Su Sect Master misunderstood, this Fort Master just let someone invite your Qianjin to be a guest in my humble sect, ‘taking away’ this word, available is not too appropriate ah.”

“Is that so?” Su Hengshan clenched his fists with both hands, he wasn’t a person who got angry too easily, but Blackwood Castle’s people laying their hands on Su Ling’er was downright touching his bottom line, he coldly said, “Blackwood Green Tooth, I know what’s in your mind. After the matters within my sect are resolved, if you don’t give me an explanation, you won’t want to leave here alive today!”

Blackwood Green Tooth grinned, but no longer spoke, and took two steps back, hands clasping his chest, a posture of leisurely watching the show …… That’s right, he originally came to watch the show today …… a big show of a dispute within the door. No matter what the result is, there is no harm for all the benefits.

The old man who had been sitting there opened his eyes and said carelessly, ”Hengshan, I don’t care about who succeeds the head of the door. If you are unwilling to cooperate with Blackwood Fortress, I don’t want to force you. But the key to the sect’s greatest treasure, you must hand it over today!”

The Tai Su Sect’s most senior Tai Elder spoke, his might was naturally extraordinary. Su Hengshan’s face changed for a while, but he said without any hesitation, “Absolutely not!!!”

The atmosphere of the scene is getting tighter and tighter, Taisu Sect’s disciples have rushed to the scene, more and more people, if they are just facing the Blackwood Castle, they can be unanimous, but the Blackwood Castle is a stance of a bystander, the two sides of the saber-rattling, but they are both Taisu Sect’s people …… except that the other side has already left the Taisu Sect for the time being a short while ago, and then reportedly settled in the Blackwood Castle!

From the increasingly heated arguments between the two sides, Yun Che finally heard the general idea.

In the Jiangdong generation of this Fusu Kingdom, the Taisu Sect and Blackwood Fort were the two most powerful sects, the Taisu Sect had its back to the Taisu Mountain, with countless resources of medicinal herbs and crystals, and the Blackwood Fort was stationed at the Blackwood Ridge, with a large amount of resources of metals and strange stones. The two great sects can indeed complement each other in terms of resources, and Blackwood Castle also wanted to cooperate with Taisu Sect several times to achieve the purpose of resource sharing, but Blackwood Castle’s behavior was despicable and its reputation was tarnished, and although a large portion of the Taisu Sect’s Council of Elders agreed to the cooperation, successive generations of the Sect Masters would never agree to it.

To the Su Hengshan generation, the original strength than too Su door half a grade lower than the Blackwood Castle is the rapid development, hidden to the extent that can compete with too Su door, which also makes the Elder Council to support the cooperation with the Blackwood Castle, the common hegemony of the Jiangdong more and more people, to the end, almost more than half, but also so that Su Hengshan bear the pressure of the increasing day by day.

However, these are not the main reason for today’s situation. The real reason was a piece left behind by the ancestor of the Tai Su Sect – a Mysterious Sect Treasure!

One of the ancestors of the Tai Su Sect had obtained it from a place called the “Southern Border Sacred Land”, and it was said to be a “holy” level treasure!
