The Venerable Swordsman

Chapter 39 I Am Also Very Handsome!

Chapter 39 I Am Also Very Handsome!

At this moment, it seemed as if the time had stopped!

Ye Xuan looked dignified. His forehead was dripping with sweat because the strength of the woman behind him was a little beyond his expectations. If he didn’t turn around just now, he might be able to fight with the other. But because of this turning back, he missed the first chance. Now, he was caught in a dilemma.

After a moment of silence, the knife on his neck suddenly disappeared.

Immediately, Ye Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Ye Xuan did not leave. When he turned around, the woman was already dressed.

She wore a long ink-black dress which was painted with mountains and rivers. Her figure was slender. She had a tiny waist which could be encircled by an arm. A black ribbon around her waist brought out the best in her figure. Her watery eyes with a touch of icy cold, it seemed as if they could see through everything.

So gorgeous!

This was the first impression and the first feeling of Ye Xuan!

At the thought of some past images, Ye Xuan felt a rush of hot immediately.

He had never been so close to a woman, which didn’t mean that he was not a man. He had everything that a normal man should have.

The woman walked slowly towards Ye Xuan, and she kept looking at Ye Xuan whose scalp was a little numb under her gaze.

Ye Xuan and the woman looked at each other, but there was only disgust in his eyes!

It seemed as if seeing a woman’s body was a very humiliating thing...

Jiang Country was not that open. Women in Jiang Country were very very sensitive about their innocencies. Ye Xuan also knew this. The reason why he behaved like this was naturally that he wanted less trouble. After all, this matter was mainly due to his fault.

But he felt wronged. Only God knows that there actually was someone in this place... And this woman was having a bath in broad daylight... However, she looked so beautiful. He didn’t really mind that if he could see her a little longer!

Just when this thought entered his mind, he himself was scared, “I want to see her a little longer?”

Just then, the woman suddenly said, “Who are you?”

Her sound was ice-cold, and there was still a hint of killing intent in her eyes.

Ye Xuan quickly regained his thoughts and answered, “Ye Xuan, a new student here!”

After he said that, he stepped back a few steps. He didn’t seem to escape but to stay further away from her... What’s more, there was a trace of faintly discernible disgust in his eyes.

When she noticed the movement of Ye Xuan, the woman’s blackened eyebrows frowned. “Am I so intolerable to your eyes?”

Ye Xuan glanced at the woman without speaking but he retreated two more steps, which had already explained everything.

The woman looked Ye Xuan up and down and shook her head. “You are somewhat a fine-looking man, but you are gay... So how do men make love with each other?”

Ye Xuan, “...”

Seeing Ye Xuan make no reply, the woman didn’t pump him about the case. She looked at Ye Xuan with pity and then turned toward her room.

Seeing the woman leave, Ye Xuan heaved a sigh of relief right away. “This matter is finally over!”

Ye Xuan speedily left the courtyard, and then found two rooms aside. After he had cleaned the two rooms, he searched around the back mountain. When he came back, he got some game in his hands.

Ye Xuan was very very good at surviving in the wild, because he used to hunt wild game to support himself and his sister!

Ye Xuan came to Canglan Hall. At this time, Ye Ling had cleaned it up already.

Seeing Ye Xuan, Ye Ling immediately ran to him and gave him a sweet smile. “Brother.”

Ye Xuan gently rubbed the little head of Ye Ling. “Are you tired?”

Ye Ling shook her head. “I’m not!”

Ye Xuan smiled and said, “Give the several tables there a sweep. I will cook.”

Upon hearing his words, Ye Ling’s eyes suddenly sparkled with expectations.

“My brother is going to cook!”

She liked Ye Xuan’s cooking best which tasted far much better than meals made by chefs of Ye Family.

After an hour, in Canglan Hall, Ye Xuan and his sister Ye Ling sat in front of an old big table. On the table, there were four or five dishes which all smelled fragrant.

The siblings looked at each other and smiled. When they were about to eat, a figure came over from the side. It was the old man. He exuded an unpleasant smell of alcohol from head to foot. It looked like his clothes had not been washed for many years and had already lost their original appearances.

The old man made himself at home and directly took his place at the head of the table. When he was to eat, another person came here from a side.

Seeing the one who came, Ye Xuan’s eyelids jumped because the person was precisely the woman he had met before!

The woman sat on the left side of the old man. She glanced at the food on the table and then looked at Ye Xuan. “Did you cook the meal for me?”

Ye Xuan, “...”

Ye Ling blinked. She glanced at Ye Xuan, and then looked again at the woman...

The woman didn’t say another word. She picked up a small mushroom with chopsticks and put it in her mouth. After a while, she nodded. “Not bad.”

Hearing her comment, the old man also put a piece of mushroom into his mouth and chewed it. Then he watched Ye Xuan and nodded. “Good, you will take charge of the meals of Canglan College from now on!”

Ye Xuan’s mouth corners twitched a bit and he really wanted to beat someone!

At this point, Ye Ling looked at the old man, tilting her head. “But my brother is a student!”

The old man glanced at Ye Ling. “Cooking is also a kind of cultivation.”

Ye Ling was speechless. “...”

Ye Xuan really couldn’t bear to watch. “Predecessor...”

“The Dean!”

The old man turned to look at Ye Xuan and said, “Call me Dean, Dean Ji!”

Ye Xuan nodded. “Dean Ji, should we hire a few handymen for such a big college?”

The old man responded by asking, “Will you pay for them?”

“Eh!”

Ye Xuan was startled for a while, then asked, “Is it you who should pay?”

Dean Ji shook his head. “I have no money and I can’t even afford wine!”

Ye Xuan was speechless. “...”

The woman did not speak. She was eating, and kept eating. Ye Xuan and his sister all sat transfixed by her eating speed.

Her speed was really very fast. It seemed as if she had been hungry for a dozen days. After a while, all the dishes on the table had been swept away.

The woman licked the chopsticks and turned to look at Ye Xuan. “Do you have any more?”

Ye Xuan, “...”

Ye Ling put down her chopsticks and said, “There is something uncooked. I am going to wash some.”

After that, she turned and ran to the back of the hall.

Ye Xuan said in a deep voice, “Is it safe here?”

Mr. Ji nodded, “Yes, it’s safe.”

Ye Xuan hesitated, and then asked, “Dean Ji, since it’s a college, there must be a place for learning! I...”

“No!”

Mr. Ji’s answer was quite straightforward, “Study on your own!”

Ye Xuan, “...”

“Martial Arts Hall!”

Abruptly, the woman interjected. She was still slowly licking her chopsticks.

Mr. Ji looked at Ye Xuan. “There is a Martial Arts Hall in the hill behind, in which there are some martial arts notes left by the previous students. As for martial arts, if you are lucky, you may find one or two books about it.”

“Alas!”

Ye Xuan sighed. “I am going to cook!”

After that, he turned and left.

At the table, there left only the woman and the old man.

The woman put down her chopsticks and asked, “Where did you find him?”

Mr. Ji, the old man took a sip of wine and said, “Cangmu College ignored him, so I picked him up!”

The woman was silent for a moment and asked, “Why did you want him?”

The old man said, “He has potential!”

The woman said insensitively, “I alone am enough.”

The old man’s hand trembled a little. After a while, he took a sip of the wine gourd and said softly, “Anzhi, you are carrying too much burden.”

The woman murmured, “It’s my destiny and also my responsibility!”

After she said this, she turned and looked out the hall. “Though they are dead, their souls are imprisoned inside the body. Their souls won’t rest in peace until I bring their bodies back... My eldest brother, my second elder brother, and my father...”

The old man slowly closed his eyes. “You are the only left descendant of Ji Family!”

The woman chuckled. “Then I have no excuse for avoiding my duties.”

The old man shook his head. “The two persons, in the whole Jiang Country, maybe only An Lanxiu can slightly exceed them.”

The woman got up. “Where there’s a will, there is a way!”

After saying that, she walked towards the distance. When she went to the door of the hall, she stopped out of the blue and smiled. “The worst result can only be that one more body will be added to the Cangshan Mountain’s path.”

When her voice died away, she disappeared into the distance.

In the hall, only left the sound of the old man drinking the wine.

At nightfall.

After Ye Ling was asleep, Ye Xuan came into the Prison World Tower.

Ye Xuan sat cross-legged on the ground, and he asked, “Predecessor, can I be considered a Great Sword Cultivator now?”

“Sort of!” The mysterious woman answered.

“Why?” Ye Xuan was somewhat puzzled because he couldn’t yet be able to send out the Sword Light.

The mysterious woman answered, “The realm is your shortcoming. As long as you can achieve the Qi Harnessing Realm, you can gather up the Qi in your body. With your current body foundation and your sword attainments added, you can actuate the Sword Qi at any time.”

Ye Xuan said in a low tone, “But my Conceptual Battle Skill...”

“Do you know the Tao of the Martial Arts?” The mysterious woman asked.

Ye Xuan shook his head.

The mysterious woman explained, “Here is your current situation. You have grasped the Conceptual Battle Skill ahead of time but you haven’t experienced the process of Tao of the Martial Arts. Therefore, you are not a real Martial Arts Master. What’s more, in order to become a real Martial Arts Master, you still need to turn your Conceptual Spear Skill into an Entity. But now you don’t have this ability yet. Hence, what you have to do now is to accumulate the basic knowledge of Martial Arts. Needless to say, you also cannot slack off on the Tao of the Sword. In addition, you can start searching for swords.”

The Spiritual Swords!

Ye Xuan smiled bitterly. “Where can I find Spiritual Swords?”

“To buy some?”

“But I can’t afford it!”

“This is a big problem!”

After a while, Ye Xuan began to practice. In addition to practicing swords, he also practiced his Kungfu with fists and feet. The only martial art skill he knew was Punch Collapse. He found that added with Conceptual Battle Skill, his power of Punch Collapse had produced a qualitative leap!

If added with Conceptual Battle Skill, the grade of this Punch Collapse could be at least the Low-grade of Occult Stage.

Not until now did he really realize how horrible the Conceptual Battle Skill was. And if he comprehended the Conceptual Sword Skill, then the power of ‘One Sword Strike Decides Life and Death’ would become even more horrible!

One night passed. Early the next day, Ye Xuan suddenly rushed down the mountain.

Because Mr. Ji told him that down the mountain, a woman surnamed An wanted to see him.

In no time, Ye Xuan came to the foot of the mountain. In front of that stone tablet, Ye Xuan saw that a woman dressed in white looked pure and spotlessly clean. Her beauty was literally breath-taking.

An Lanxiu!

Ye Xuan went up to An Lanxiu and smiled gently, “Miss An!”

An Lanxiu nodded. When she was to talk, a dandiacal man came from not far. Carrying a black stick, he walked with a rolling gait. The man’s eyes immediately lit up when he saw An Lanxiu, and he praised, “So beautiful... What a beautiful woman...”

Ye Xuan immediately blocked in front of An Lanxiu. He glanced at the man and said, “I am also very handsome! You can watch me for free!”

The man, “...”
