Lu Ping Looked at Lady Jiang and Felt a Headache Coming On
Lu Ping looked at Little B, feeling very Qi Ingestion.
Jiang Mutian was talking about the Way of Slaughter, not just the Sword Dao!
Besides, back in the Azure Cloud Sect, he was someone who had seriously discussed swordsmanship with Shen Yaoxin.
Stop looking down on people here!
Lu Ping chose A.
[You chose A.]
[You immediately stood up and solemnly bowed to Jiang Mutian.]
"I would be most grateful for your guidance, senior."
Jiang Mutian nodded slightly, but his expression became more serious.
"There are three thousand Great Dao, and each person has their own destiny."
"You must remember that while the paths of those who came before you may have been easy to follow, they can also easily become your shackles."
"What I impart today are all my insights from battles and strife. Within this limited space, how to choose and discard is crucial; one must carefully discern and never blindly follow, lest one lose one's own foundation."
[You accepted the instruction with a respectful nod.]
[Jiang Mutian's teaching style is as simple and direct as her sword-wielding.]
[She flipped her hand and took out a blank jade Jade Talisman, lightly tapped it with her finger, and directly infused a Sword Intent into the Jade Talisman.]
She pushes the Jade Talisman in front of you.
[You accept the Jade Talisman with both hands and probe it with your Divine Sense. Inside the Jade Talisman is only the character "sword".]
The instant you touched the word "sword," you felt a chill between your brows.
[It was clearly just an ordinary inscription carved inside the Jade Talisman, yet it contained Jiang Mutian's purest and most Slaughter Sword Intent.]
[You should immediately suppress your distracting thoughts and focus all your energy on comprehending the meaning.]
[Multiskilling, effective.]
[Reverse Engineering, in effect.]
[Workaholic, effective.]
[Salty Fish, in effect.]
[...]
[Your Trait instantly maxed out, your comprehension doubled, and the Salty Fish even withstood the terrifying Killing Intent behind that word for you.]
[Even with so many backup plans, facing such a pure and ruthless Great Dao of slaughter, your deduction progress is still as slow as a snail.]
[A day has passed.]
[Click.]
[The Jade Talisman in your palm exhausted its last trace of Sword Intent, turning into jade dust that slipped softly through your fingers.]
[You open your eyes, feeling an emptiness in your heart, as if you've grasped something, but upon closer inspection, it's all shrouded in mystery, and you haven't been able to pierce through that thin layer of paper.]
You looked up, a hint of embarrassment in your eyes, at Jiang Mutian across from you.
Jiang Mutian showed no surprise whatsoever.
[She didn't ask anything, but casually took out another blank jade Jade Talisman, flicked it with her finger, and once again branded the character "sword" inside, then tossed it into your hand.]
[This big boss seems even more patient than you. Far from leaving, he got up and went into the inner room of Room Number One of Heaven, taking over your main room as if he were the guest.]
Fortunately, at your level, you no longer need to sleep like ordinary people.
[Jiang Mutian occupied the main room and meditated with his eyes closed, so you simply sat cross-legged on the Meditation Cushion in the outer room, holding the new Jade Talisman and continuing to fight against that Slaughter Sword Intent.]
[When she ran out of jade Jade Talisman, she flicked a new one from the main room.]
[After five or six days of this, your understanding of the Way of Slaughter finally began to take shape.]
[That morning, just as you crushed the sixth Jade Talisman, the door to the main house opened.]
[Jiang Mutian stepped out and sat down at the Tea Table opposite you.]
[You immediately stop your meditation, skillfully light a fire, boil water, and brew a pot of Spirit Tea.]
[Just as you picked up the teapot and filled Jiang Mutian's teacup, a gentle knock sounded on the Restriction of the outer courtyard gate.]
[A Sound Transmission Talisman pierced through the Restriction and hovered in front of you.]
[It is Ning Junqiu, the owner of Gathering Immortals Tower.]
[As usual, she came to discuss the schedule and list of medicinal herbs for next month's customer-ordered alchemy.]
[You looked at the Sound Transmission Talisman suspended in front of you, and your hand holding the teapot paused slightly.]
[Only then did you belatedly realize what was happening.]
[This big boss has been in seclusion in the main house for five or six days without making a sound. Why did he choose to come out and sit down right before Ning Junqiu knocked on the door?]
[You put the teapot away, looked up at Jiang Mutian across from you, and hesitated, as if you wanted to say something but then stopped.]
[Jiang Mutian remained calm, picking up the freshly filled teacup without even lifting his eyelids.]
"Why are you looking at me?"
She took a small sip of tea, her tone completely flat.
"This is your room, you can do whatever you want with it."
[Options pop up.]
[A: Remove the door Restriction and let Ning Junqiu in to discuss business.]
[B: Refused through the door, telling Ning Junqiu to come again next time.]
[C: Rushing out the door and shouting to Ning Junqiu: "Hurry up and inform the North Sea Press Corps! The White Tiger Sword Lord has been secretly meeting with a young, handsome Nascent Spirit Transformation, and they've been living together for seven days, suggesting a wedding is imminent! First-hand paparazzi photos are 50,000 Spirit Stones each, and we've bought out the film for 50 million! Our Gathering Immortals Tower is switching to Entertainment Media today!"]
Lu Ping's lips twitched slightly when he reached this point.
So this Miss Jiang may seem aloof and ethereal, but she's actually quite cunning and ruthless at heart!
The same thing happened last time at the Main Peak the Desire Sea Pavilion. Three Integrated Body Great Talent at the Fusion Realm could sneak up at any moment. They were discussing the important matter of fighting off the enemy when she suddenly blurted out, "You know me?" and wouldn't let it go.
This time, her timing was impeccable. She came out at the perfect moment, neither too early nor too late. As soon as Ning Junqiu knocked on the door, she came out and sat down, casually saying, "It's up to you."
Lu Ping felt a headache coming on.
Lu Ping chose A.
[You chose A.]
[You've been a straight man for generations, you really can't figure out what Jiang Mutian is thinking.]
[Since she chose this particular time to come out and sit in the hall, she must be meeting someone, right?]
I think so...
[You just feel incredibly overwhelmed, completely unable to figure out what this big boss is thinking.]
[But the person outside was still waiting. You sighed inwardly, but ultimately, with a slight movement of your fingertips, you removed the Restriction on the courtyard gate.]
"Fellow Daoist Ning, please come in."
The door was gently pushed open.
Ning Junqiu, dressed in Azure Orchid Palace Dress, stepped into the room with a polite smile on her face.
["Grandmaster Lu, I have compiled a list of fellow Daoists who will be seeking elixirs next month, and I was just about to invite you..."]
[Ning Junqiu stopped abruptly halfway through her sentence, the rest of her words abruptly cut off.]
