I'm Really Not a Pervert!

Jing Pu stood beside Yu Shen, quietly watching him.

Yu Shen's mouth hung slightly open, his face frozen in terror, not daring to move.

Yu Shen knew that if this had been a real fight, his head would have already been severed.

In that moment, Yu Shen felt like he'd woken from a dream. No wonder... this Senior hadn't used a real blade earlier, and no wonder this Senior had said not to go to an open area...

Ling Jing, standing not far away, was completely stunned. Ling Jing had watched the entire scene very closely.

Unlike others, Ling Jing was a blade cultivator. From the very beginning, Ling Jing had believed Jing Pu's blade techniques would be exceptionally powerful. Therefore, Ling Jing had prepared everything early on to observe Jing Pu's blade techniques.

However, in that instant, Ling Jing still couldn't see anything clearly. It was just a flash, and then... it was over!

At this moment, Jing Pu retracted his wooden stick and sighed slightly, bored...

Jing Pu had expected Yu Shen to at least exchange a few blows with him. But when Yu Shen charged at him, Jing Pu saw nothing but openings. Unable to hold back, he ended it in one move.

Yu Shen, still frozen in place, snapped back to reality and suddenly shouted angrily:

"This isn't fair!"

Jing Pu was completely bewildered by Yu Shen's words. This wasn't fair??

I used a wooden stick, and you used a real saber, and this isn't fair?!

Yu Shen gritted his teeth and said, "It's only because you are inherently strong, and I've only cultivated the Great Yi Imperial Saber to the third level. Your blade techniques, even if ordinary, must have been cultivated to the peak. Therefore, this proves nothing."

Jing Pu paused for a moment, then understood what Yu Shen meant. He immediately nodded repeatedly:

"Right, right. I was just speaking casually earlier, very imprecisely. Don't take it to heart. I did feel it during our spar just now, the Great Yi Imperial Saber is indeed very powerful."

Jing Pu didn't want to show off. Yu Shen might not be powerful, but Yu Shen's Master, the one known as one of the strongest in the world, Yu Xiu, was powerful!!

If he were to say the Great Yi Imperial Saber was no good, what if Yu Xiu came to chop him? Even though Jing Pu felt that the Great Yi Imperial Saber was indeed not impressive at the moment, he didn't want to cause himself trouble.

Yu Shen gritted his teeth slightly at Jing Pu's words. What was that supposed to mean? Was it mockery?!

He had lost without even making a single move, and now this person claimed to have felt its power during their spar.

Yu Shen gritted his teeth slightly and said, "I have been presumptuous today, Senior. I have disturbed you. Farewell."

With that, Yu Shen bowed again to Ling Ju, who wasn't looking at him at all, and left directly.

Jing Pu stood there, scratching his head, watching Yu Shen's retreating back. He mused to himself, He seems like a very proud person.

When Jing Pu turned back, Ling Jing suddenly knelt on the ground, looking up at Jing Pu with excitement:

"Senior, can you take me as your disciple?!"

Huh??

Ling Jing's sudden kneeling startled Jing Pu. He quickly said:

"I am just a Mortal. If you truly wish to learn my blade techniques, come back in a few days. I need to be busy with some things I enjoy recently. But to be upfront, mine are all mundane techniques. Whether they are suitable for you Cultivators, I don't know. It might be a waste of effort, so think carefully."

Jing Pu was quite happy that Ling Jing was willing to learn blade techniques from him. It was better than this guy digging holes with a hoe every day, right?

Ling Jing was very excited now, but after carefully considering Jing Pu's words, the Senior was willing to teach him but not take him as a disciple, meaning he wasn't qualified yet...

As for a few days later, Ling Jing understood. The Senior meant for him not to aim too high, but to take it one step at a time and finish what the Senior wanted him to do first!

And the last part, about mundane techniques possibly not being suitable for Cultivators and potentially being a waste of effort, should be interpreted in reverse.

The Senior meant that his techniques were earth-shattering, ultimate skills, and perhaps a mere Mortal like himself might not be able to comprehend them, thus making it a waste of effort.

Ling Jing felt he was a genius, having easily deciphered the Senior's words.

Immediately, Ling Jing nodded frantically:

"Senior, I understand! I will definitely work hard, I will definitely not disappoint you, and I will definitely not bring shame to you!!"

But after speaking, Ling Jing suddenly froze again. Wait a minute... What did the Senior mean by "things I enjoy"...?

Jing Pu was speechless. Disappoint me? What's there to be ashamed of? He immediately said:

"Hurry up and get up."

Just as Jing Pu pulled Ling Jing up, he heard a thump beside him. Lie Chun had also knelt down, shouting loudly:

"Senior, please teach me your sword techniques too!!"

Jing Pu: "..."

At noon, Jing Pu sat in the pavilion eating lunch. These Cultivators didn't eat, so Jing Pu didn't prepare any for them and ate by himself.

Ling Ju sat beside him, blushing as she secretly observed Jing Pu, very curious about him eating mortal food.

In the morning, Ling Jing and Lie Chun had filled in the pits in the front yard. In the afternoon, Jing Pu planned to have them compact the soil in the yard.

The previous week, these two had loosened the soil in the front yard. If it rained now, the front yard would turn into a mud pit. Jing Pu planned to go to Qinghe Town tomorrow to buy some paving bricks to lay in the front yard.

This was also what Jing Pu had referred to as "things I enjoy." This place would be his home in the future, so of course, he had to manage it well.

The Divine Sword Sect did have paving bricks, but the ones here were all green stone bricks, which Jing Pu didn't find particularly attractive. Since Jing Pu also needed to go to Qinghe Town to buy food, as the last purchase was almost gone, he would buy them along the way.

In the afternoon, Ling Jing and Lie Chun were laboring with tools, pressing down the ground, while Jing Pu meticulously taught Ling Ju the Tea Dao.

It wasn't until evening that the three of them left. After seeing them off, Jing Pu returned to his room to prepare a detailed shopping list so he wouldn't forget anything tomorrow.

However, before the list was even finished, there was a sudden knock on the courtyard gate.

Was it Ling Tiannan or Di Chen?

Jing Pu walked to the courtyard gate with some curiosity and opened it, only to see Ling Jing standing there with a smug smile.

Looking at Ling Jing's smug smile, Jing Pu had a bad feeling for some reason.

Just as Jing Pu was about to ask why this guy was back, Ling Jing suddenly handed him a wooden box and said with a smug smile:

"Senior, I've got it!! This must be what Senior likes!!"

Huh??

Got it??

Got what?

What is it??

Jing Pu immediately frowned and opened the wooden box. After seeing what was inside.

??!!

Inside was a pair of Crystal High-heeled Jade Shoes... the very pair Ling Ju was wearing today.

What the hell...

He really thinks I'm a pervert!!

Ling Jing, on the other hand, stood with his hands on his hips, looking smug.

"Senior kept staring at my sister's shoes today, so I understood. I never thought Senior had such a fetish."

Jing Pu gritted his teeth and looked up to return the item, but as he looked up, he nearly fainted. Ling Ju was standing not far away, her face flushed red, looking at Jing Pu and the pair of Crystal High-heeled Jade Shoes in the wooden box in his hands.

Jing Pu's face was as ugly as if he had eaten shit. Ling Jing, who had been observing Jing Pu's expression, suddenly froze, as if he had discovered something. He slowly turned his head and, upon seeing his sister.

With a whoosh, Ling Jing darted away, leaving behind only a parting message:

"Sen... Senior, I have something to do, I'll be going now..."

Ling Jing's voice echoed in the space, leaving a bewildered Jing Pu behind.

Ling Ju, her face flushed red, walked lightly to Jing Pu. As if she hadn't seen the Crystal High-heeled Jade Shoes in Jing Pu's hands, Ling Ju produced a wooden box. Her eyes darted to the side, not daring to look at Jing Pu, and she said softly, with bashful shyness:

"T-today... I saw Senior seemed... seemed to really like eating human snacks... I... I learned from Mother to make them when I was young... so I made some for... for Senior... Senior... please try Ling Ju's cooking..."

It was clear Ling Ju was very nervous, her words stumbling, but in reality... Jing Pu was even more damn nervous!!

He was caught red-handed, but the problem was that Jing Pu was still completely clueless. Jing Pu hadn't known anything two minutes ago.

No, I absolutely cannot be seen as a pervert. Jing Pu took Ling Ju's wooden box while quickly preparing to explain.

But as soon as Jing Pu took the wooden box, Ling Ju, her face flushed red, gave a slight bow and turned to leave.

Jing Pu stood at the courtyard gate, stunned for a full half a minute:

"...I... damn it... I'm really not a pervert!"

"I'm really not!"

"Believe me!"
