Chapter 41: Striving for the Way

Curry Night watched her back disappear and muttered, “She originally didn’t have any scent at all, and ended up with a little bit of floral scent at this moment. Saying that she’s the same as the sword, making friends with the sword, but when all is said and done, she’s still a human being.”

Having no scent meant that there was no kindness nor malice, she had only come for the sake of asking about the sword and had no other heart. With the scent of flowers, it means that she verbally said “the younger generation is the same”, but in reality, she still remembered Xue Qingqiu’s love of showing the sword, and her heart was filled with goodwill.

After all, human beings are human beings, and they have feelings of joy, anger, sadness, sorrow, happiness and six desires, and no amount of practicing can change them into a sword.

Xue Mu looked at Curry Night, this girl practiced from the outside to the inside like a child, that is only because of the clarity and purity, so can reflect the human heart. But it doesn’t mean that she is really a child’s knowledge, in reality, she is an inquirer who is already twenty-four years old and has her own firm path.

“Still a human being” this sentence has a very obvious meaning, that the Way of the Questioning Sword Sect is just a delusion, this is a flagrant difference in the Way, from Curry Night’s child-like appearance, this feeling is particularly demonic.

Xue Mu couldn’t help but ask, “What did she realize from the sword?”

“It’s nothing but some sort of sword intent, and it’s still hard to say whether it’s compatible with her or not. The divine sword is nothing more than an external object, it’s better to ask the sword than to ask yourself, what does what she realized have anything to do with you and me? It’s of no interest.” Xue Qingqiu responded indifferently, and Curry Night nodded her little head like a chicken pecking rice on the side.

Xue Mu sighed, this Hundred Schools of Thought Way, it really is the opposite of the South. He suddenly felt that even if this group of people fought for another thousand years, they wouldn’t be able to fight …… for anything.

What to fight for, we are all cute girls, the most important thing is to be happy……

Thinking this way, Xue Qingqiu cast a sidelong glance at him, “What, could it be that you think she’s right?”

Only a stupid beep would say she’s right at a time like this, Xue Mu laughed, “This kind of purity of hers is something you appreciate, and I naturally appreciate it as well. But I know that there is one thing about the Questioning Sword Sect that is resolutely not right.”

“Oh? Which point?”

Xue Mu leisurely said, “A beauty like Mu Jian Li should be wearing a silky belly-band, with expensive accessories that set off her beautiful colors, and smiling gently on the bed, that’s what makes it a great scene on earth. How can you let those shitty clothes rough up your delicate skin, and let those damn grass shoes wear calluses on your little feet, to play the asceticism set, it’s just a waste! This his grandmother’s Questioning Sword Sect is the devil’s path, okay?”

Xue Qingqiu: “……”

Curry Night: “……”

“Curry Night.” Xue Qingqiu stood up, his face expressionless: “Lock this nasty bastard up in the secret room and don’t allow him to eat today.”

Curry Night froze before moving, Xue Mu laughed first, “My sister-sama, you seem to have forgotten that Xiahou Di invited dinner, and we’ve been late for a long time.”

Xue Qingqiu viciously cut him off, “I’ve already figured out your and Xiahou Di’s business routine, don’t think I can’t play without you!”

Xue Mu sighed, “It’s not that I’m talking about you, sister, this is a brand new operation, even I have to figure it out myself, what can you and Xiahou Di do with dry eyes?”

“…… “Xue Qingqiu expressionlessly looked at him for half a day and didn’t say anything, instead, she added to Curry Night, “Strengthen the array defense around Xue Mu’s residence, and set up the highest level of security with the resources you can use. In the future, many people will know the importance of Xue Mu, and there is no room for error.”

“Oh.” Curry Night froze and agreed.

Only then did Xue Qingqiu glare at Xue Mu, “Let’s go.”

From the Bamboo Building to the Hundred Flowers Court, the entry point was a sea of guests like a tidal wave of people, with the Hundred Flowers Court’s property there was already no way to receive them at all, and the manpower was even more insufficient across the board. Originally, Zhuo Qingqing and Meng Lan were only behind the scenes, but now they were both sweating profusely and personally channeling outside.

Xue Mu beckoned, and Meng Lan greeted him out of breath, “Gongzi.”

“What’s with this level of fire? It shouldn’t be.”

“It’s because the Pleasure Seeking Pavilion was demolished by Mu Jianli’s sword qi, and the guests all flocked to this side.”

“You guys aren’t doing it this way.” Xue Mu casually grabbed a piece of the wall’s menu board, erased the name of the dish, folded it into a few sections, grabbed a chopstick and carved the number ‘one, two, three’ on it, and handed it to Meng Lan: “Make dozens of them, tell them to take the number according to the board, and queue them up. If we show the short stories to the people in line, they won’t get anxious waiting, and we can take this opportunity to publish our second story.”

Meng Lan’s two eyes lit up, “Worthy of a gongzi.” Rushing to Xue Qingqiu, he saluted, not having time to talk more, and hurriedly went to work.

After a few moments, the number plates were distributed, and sure enough, a messy scene was quickly channeled down and became quiet and orderly, the guests in line sat in the front hall in a single file, manually reading a pamphlet and shaking their heads.

Xue Qingqiu has been quietly watching, let Xue Mu give orders to do the arrangement, until this moment only sighed: “You are indeed very powerful, combing the chaos in the blink of an eye, well organized, but also by hand the second story to promote …… on the management of strategy, I do not as good as you.”

How common is the scene of the big health care equals na, it is you who have seen too little. Xue Mu modestly said, “A small art is just a small art, not as good as the sister’s Dao.”

The two went out side by side and walked a dozen steps before Xue Qingqiu said, “Actually, I haven’t agreed to let the second story come out.”

“Things are urgent, a mess is never a solution.” Xue Mu said, “Besides, in the eyes of the general public, that story doesn’t have the deep meaning that you and I have in our eyes, so there’s no need to think too much about it.”

“What deep meaning is there in your and my eyes?”

“Uh ……,” Xue Mu stopped talking.

Xue Qingqiu suddenly said, “You’re a bit different today, slightly wooden and proper. If it were usual, you’d probably take advantage of this to provoke me. But when you said those things about Mu Jian Li just now, it’s clear that you’re still you and haven’t changed.”

Xue Mu still didn’t say anything.

“Because of Chan Er?”

“Yes.” Xue Mu finally replied, “That river is long, lonely and far away, and the sound of Xiao lingers in the heart, and does not dissipate to this day. How heartless should one be to provoke her master at a time like this?”

“Now you admit that you are really looking at Cindy?”

“Frankly speaking, I don’t know.” Xue Mu whispered, “and Xiao Chan should have forgotten each other, I myself also feel that I clearly have a greater fancy for you …… uh ……”

“Why cut off, I can not know what you want to say?” Xue Qingqiu did not get angry, and said lightly, “Give you three days, and make yourself clear.”

What does this …… mean? Xue Mu was stunned and turned his head to look at her, Xue Qingqiu’s face was ancient, no waves at all, she couldn’t see her mind.

“You guys came late for at least half an hour.” Xiahou Di’s displeased voice came from the front, Xue Mu stopped his steps and looked up, a solemn building stood in front of him, a pair of majestic stone lions suppressed the left and right, and in front of the door there was a very conspicuous bronze cauldron, the light on the cauldron flowed, mysterious and vast. Above the cauldron, on the black plaque, large gilt letters: six doors.
