The Venerable Swordsman

Chapter 38 I Only Like Men!

Chapter 38 I Only Like Men!

He said ‘rare’ three times!

On the scene, a deathly stillness!

Noticing something unusual, Gu Qiancheng’s brows slightly wrinkled. He glanced around and asked, “What happened?”

This time, Li Xiu stood up. He deeply saluted at Gu Qiancheng, and then told him the previous thing without the slightest concealment!

After they listened to the whole story, the field was even quieter!

Some Supreme Elders of Cangmu College and the other two Associate Deans looked at Li Xiu coldly with unfriendly expressions.

If Gu Qiancheng were not here, these people might break out.

After a while, Gu Qiancheng shook his head slightly. “This Formation was created by Dean Mu. Later on, I felt it was a little weak so I turned those wooden men in the Formation into Sword Cultivators. Anyone who can break this Formation under the age of 20 must be very capable, even if he cheats. In fact, the one who broke the Formation just now didn’t cheat. Having no Elixir Field only proved that he must have something extraordinary, or I should say that he is actually a terror. He could break the Formation without the Elixir Field, don’t you feel that was horrible?”

Upon hearing this, Li Xiu’s face was a little pale. Especially when he thought of the attitude of An Lanxiu in previous, his face turned even paler.

“What kind of person is An Lanxiu?”

“A person who is favored by such a horrible genius, can he be someone mediocre?”

“Of course, he can’t be!”

Thinking of this, Li Xiu smiled bitterly. He deeply saluted at Gu Qiancheng. “I failed to recognize his talents!”

Gu Qiancheng shook his head. “You couldn’t force fate.”

With this, he glanced around. “I have been away from Qing Continent for hundreds of years. I left this shadow in order to see if anyone in the future can break the Formation left by me and Dean Mu. I have never thought that it would end like this... Anyway, now I’m not in a position to intervene in the affairs of Cangmu College. You care about yourself then.”

After he said that, his body gradually faded away.

Seeing this scene, everyone present promptly saluted deeply, “Take care, Dean Gu!”

In no time, the remaining shadows of Gu Qiancheng completely dissipated.

On the spot, the other two Associate Deans, Mentors and Elders all looked toward Li Xiu.

Li Xiu smiled guiltily. “From this moment on, I will go to face the Self-reflection Cliff, pondering about my misdeeds. After the Dean is out of his secluded meditation, just let the Dean deal with me.”

With this, he looked at a white-haired old man not far away. “Brother Mo Song, I’ll leave all affairs of the college to you for the time being!”

Mo Song was another Associate Dean of Cangmu College!

Mo Song sighed a little. “This time, you really didn’t handle it well... Well, it’s meaningless to say anything now... You go to face the Self-reflection Cliff pondering your misdeeds until the Dean is out of his secluded meditation. Then...”

“Wait a minute!”

Just then, another old man in a black robe suddenly came out.

This person named Ku Mu, another Associate Dean of Cangmu College.

When hearing Ku Mu’s words, everyone in the field looked at him.

Ku Mu said frostily. “He is nothing but a pretty good marvel. It was his loss, not ours that he didn’t join Cangmu College. Pardon me for speaking frankly, he is not enough qualified to make us punish an Associate Dean.”

Everyone was silent.

Ku Mu continued, “If Cangmu College punished Li Xiu for this, would it become a laughing stock? Moreover, though Ye Xuan is pretty good, he is not enough qualified to let Cangmu College sacrifice an Associate Dean. Give out the order and claim that Ye Xuan is a useless piece of trash who was discarded by Cangmu College! We are going to let the world know that no matter what a genius or marvel he is, for Cangmu College, he is only a piece of trash!”

In the field, all Elders and Mentors of Cangmu College looked at each other. Some people hesitated, while some immediately agreed.

Ku Mu said again, “From the age of Dean Gu to now, when did we yield to anyone? We have never done it before and we won’t do it in the future.”

With this, he glanced around. “Today, all students in Cangmu College should remember that Ye Xuan has joined Canglan College, I want you to hang his head on the mountain path the coming year. Our Cangmu College will let the world know that not joining Cangmu College is the greatest loss in his life!”

In the field, countless Cangmu College students saluted in succession and said altogether, “We must hang Ye Xuan’s head on the path!”

Hearing their words, Ku Mu nodded slightly. In the field, those Elders also nodded, including Li Xiu and the others.

Before long the news that Ye Xuan joined Canglan College was spread throughout the Imperial Capital.

The one Cangmu College had abandoned was picked up by Canglan College!

For a time, Ye Xuan’s name was all over the Imperial Capital, not as a good name but as a laughingstock of course. Not only did Ye Xuan become a laughingstock, but even Canglan College became a joke!

“Canglan College was debased to collect the student who was knocked out by Cangmu College...”

This sentence circulated among people in Imperial Capital.

The reputation and popularity of Cangmu College reached its new peaks again!

...

Somewhere on a remote mountain trail, Ye Xuan carried Ye Ling and followed the old man not far from the front. Each a few steps the old man took, he would take several swigs of wine from his wine gourd.

“Brother... I feel quite warm!”

“Do you feel comfortable?”

“Yep!”

“Then that’s good!”

“Brother... Promise me, from now on, don’t kneel down because of me before anyone. Okay?”

Ye Xuan remained silent.

Ye Ling’s hands clasped around Ye Xuan’s neck. “Brother, I would rather die than watch you kneel down before others.”

“I would rather kneel down before everyone in the world than watch you die!”

“Brother... I still want to be your sister in my next life, is that okay? Not just my next life, but the life after the next life, and down the next...”

“...”

After a quarter, the old man in the distance stopped.

Ye Xuan also stopped.

Not far from the three people, there were two small mountains which were not very high, only less than dozens of meters. Compared to Cangshan Mountain in Cangmu College, it was extremely small.

Between the two small mountains, there was a small path. Next to the small path, there was a stone tablet. The weeds ran riot all around the stone tablet. On the stone tablet, there were two big black words: Canglan College!

The two words looked a bit desolate!

By the lead of the old man, Ye Xuan carried his sister through the path. At the end of the path, another mountain appeared. But it was not high, only slightly higher than the two mountains behind them. On top of the mountain, some buildings were faintly visible.

The old man walked at a leisurely pace in the front, and Ye Xuan followed him with his sister on his back.

At this time, the old man suddenly said, “I cannot remember how many years have passed, but you are the first one who is willing to join Canglan College.”

Behind the old man, Ye Xuan was slightly stunned. Then in a flash, he asked in astonishment, “Predecessor, forgive me for asking, but how many students are there in Canglan College now?”

“Plus you, there are two!” The old man replied without turning back.

Ye Xuan was petrified and stopped there.

After a while, he quickly walked to the old man with his sister on his back. “Predecessor, are you sure you are not kidding?”

The old man glanced at Ye Xuan. “Do you think I am joking with you?”

“No...”

Ye Xuan choked a little, “You... Canglan College really has only two students plus me?”

The old man nodded.

Seeing the old man didn’t look like joking, Ye Xuan smiled bitterly. “Predecessor... Two people... It is...” He was a little speechless.

The old man patted Ye Xuan’s shoulder gently. “Relax, I again have already kidnapped... Oh, no, I again have already recruited two more people. They are coming. Then there will be four people at Canglan College. ”

After that, he walked toward the top of the mountain in the distance.

Ye Xuan was petrified there.

On the back of Ye Xuan, Ye Ling glanced at the old man in the distance, and then whispered, “Brother, you seem to have been tricked into a trap!”

Ye Xuan shook his head and smiled. “He saved you, merely for this, I’d like to jump into any trap!”

After that, he carried Ye Ling on his back and followed up right away.

Soon, guided by the old man, they came to the top of the mountain where there were only a dilapidated hall and a dozen houses. The paint on the outside of the hall had peeled off and several places of the walls had split into big gaps. Not only that, but the hall had only one door... At the first glimpse, this place was a wilderness of weeds...

Ye Xuan turned to look at the old man, and the old man told him, “It is Canglan Hall, a place for discussing official business and entertaining guests. But we haven’t discussed business or entertained guests for many years. Um, it’s slightly in ruins. You go to clean it later!”

Ye Xuan was speechless. “...”

The old man pointed to the back of the hall. “The houses there are all empty. You can find any room to stay in. I am a little tired. I’ll go to get some rest first.”

After that, the old man stepped aside without looking back and then disappeared.

In situ, Ye Xuan, with Ye Ling on his back, stared at the decaying hall before them, wordless.

He knew that Canglan College might not be that good, but he did not expect that it was so bad... No, it was not just bad, it was nearly going to close down!

An unidentified old man and two students!

“What a fucking college is it?”

“It must be an orphanage!”

After a long time, Ye Xuan uttered a sigh. At this moment, Ye Ling suddenly jumped from his back. She held Ye Xuan’s hand, “Brother, you go to choose our room and I will clean this hall.”

Ye Xuan was a little hesitated, “You...”

Ye Ling jumped on the ground and grinned at him. “It’s not cold now. Brother, just go ahead. I’m fine!”

Seeing Ye Ling really mean that, Ye Xuan nodded. He gently patted the little head of Ye Ling. “Take your time. I am to choose two rooms and find something to eat. Then I’ll come to help you!”

Ye Ling nodded docilely!

Ye Xuan smiled and then turned away.

And Ye Ling entered the hall, found herself a broom and started cleaning up.

About dozens of meters behind the hall, buildings scattered around. From their appearances, these buildings must have been very glorious, but now they were simply unwatchable, especially the house in front of him whose half of the roof was gone...

Shooking his head, Ye Xuan passed through the path covered with weeds. Suddenly, he stopped because there was a nice courtyard not far from his right. With some plants and flowers, the courtyard was not as shabby as those at the front. It looked very nice.

Ye Xuan felt very pleased in his heart. “My sister can live here!”

After saying that, he walked there quickly. Soon, he pushed the door open. But when the door was opened, he went numb immediately. Not far from him, there was a pool. In the pool, a woman leaned against the wall of the pool with her legs straight out into a ‘Y’ shape.

The water was very clear. It was clear enough so he could see everything at the bottom of this pool clearly.

Of course, it was not something important. The most important thing was that the woman was totally naked.

She just stared at Ye Xuan like that, looking very calm.

Ye Xuan was startled for a moment, then he turned around. He noticed that something horrible was going to attack him from behind. In next to no time, a knife as thin as the cicada’s wing was put on his neck.

Ye Xuan’s face slightly changed and he quickly raised his two hands. “I only like men!”
