"These martial arts practitioners! If you want to join Snow Moon City, you have to conquer the Heaven Ascension Pavilion. Back in the day, that old beggar Xu Wei from the martial arts world conquered ten levels in one go!"
After descending the pavilion, he begged for a bowl of wine, then, carrying his tattered stick, he climbed back up the Heaven Ascension Pavilion, ascending five more floors. When he went up, he was a ragged old beggar, but after the fifteenth floor...!
At this moment, the chubby boy finally found his junior uncle among the crowd of listeners. He pushed and pulled his junior uncle out of the crowd, and his junior uncle complained that he didn't let him finish listening!
At this moment, Lei Wujie had adjusted his state and was preparing to challenge the Heaven Ascension Pavilion. He first looked at Xiao Se beside him and then said, " Xiao Se, I'm about to challenge the Heaven Ascension Pavilion. You don't even have anything to encourage me, why do you have such a sour face?"
What are you thinking?
Then Lei Wujie looked at Qing Mo and Yueji beside him and quickly said, " Qing Mo, Yueji! You wouldn't be like Xiao Se, not even offering me a word of encouragement, would you?"
At this moment, Yueji was gently adding tea for Qing Mo. Qing Mo looked at Lei Wujie and smiled, "If you want encouragement, isn't that simple? Keep it up, Lei Wujie!"
"Pass through the Heaven Ascension Pavilion, successfully become an apprentice, and then pay back the money!"
Yueji then said softly, " Lei Wujie, good luck! After you've finished, tell me about what happened inside, and I'll consider whether I should also try to challenge the Heaven Ascension Pavilion!"
Upon hearing Qing Mo and Yueji's words, three words seemed to appear above Lei Wujie's head. "Tool!"
At this moment, Xiao Se sighed softly, and then said in a low voice, " Lei Wujie, I was just thinking that we have come so far, and you led us astray twice before, almost costing us our lives!"
"Just for five hundred taels of Yinzi! Or else? I'll charge you eight hundred taels, principal and interest!"
Just as Xiao Se made a gesture, Lei Wujie took off running, shouting as he went, "I... I'm going to break into the pavilion. Wish me luck!"
At this moment, the two disciples from Green City Mountain watched Lei Wujie stride towards the Heaven Ascension Pavilion. Fei Xuan, sitting on the donkey, looked at the boy beside him and said, "Junior Uncle, it seems that the Red Clad is also going to break into the Heaven Ascension Pavilion!"
"You let yourself sleep in late this morning, and someone else beat you to it, didn't they? Hurry up and catch up!"
As he spoke, Fei Xuan patted Li Fansong on the shoulder, to which Li Fansong scoffed dismissively and said casually, "Maybe he'll be knocked down in no time?"
Upon hearing Li Fansong's words, Fei Xuan shook his head and then said, "Junior Uncle, didn't you inherit the true teachings of Grandmaster and know the Aura-Reading Art?"
"Look at this young man's aura, how high can he go?"
Hearing Fei Xuan say this, Li Fansong watched Lei Wujie's running figure and then said, "This young man! I reckon he can break through to... sigh... Fei Xuan, it seems I really did sleep in late today!"
As the two of them were talking across the street, Qing Mo and Xiao Se kept staring at them. Qing Mo looked at Xiao Se and said, " Xiao Se, do you really need to keep staring at these two disciples from Green City Mountain?"
"But it's normal for you to keep staring at them like that. After all, that chubby kid is the future Imperial Preceptor, possessing 80% of Green City Mountain's destiny! The other is the next generation of Dao Sword Immortal, possessing 60% of Green City Mountain's martial destiny!"
After Qing Mo finished speaking, Xiao Se and Yueji immediately looked at him. In their eyes, it seemed that Qing Mo knew everything. Then Yueji asked, "Can those two achieve such success in the future?"
Qing Mo took a sip of tea and then said, "That's right! Those two are the most talented disciples of Green City Mountain in this generation!"
Xiao Se said softly, " Qing Mo, you can even know about the future?"
Qing Mo nodded and then said, "I know not only about the future, but also about the past!"
For example, it was indeed the Angry Sword Immortal who injured you that night, but it wasn't him who destroyed your hidden meridians and injured your master; it was someone else! I know who that person is!
"I know the truth about the case of the Langya King back then!"
Xiao Se hearing Qing Mo's words, Xiao Se's expression instantly became excited, as did Yueji, who was also learning of such a secret for the first time!
Xiao Se asked anxiously, "Who hurt me? What is the truth behind what happened back then?"
In response to Xiao Se's question, Qing Mo smiled but remained silent, simply shaking his head slightly. Seeing Qing Mo, Xiao Se knew that the other party did not intend to tell him, and helplessly, he could only sit aside and sulk!
However, at this moment, Fei Xuan and Li Fansong arrived outside the teahouse where Qing Mo and the other two were. They watched as Lei Wujie successfully completed all the challenges and made great strides on the Heaven Ascension Pavilion. Suddenly, Lei Wujie came down from the Heaven Ascension Pavilion and headed straight for the teahouse!
Just as Xiao Se poured himself a cup of tea, before he could even reach for the cup, Lei Wujie suddenly appeared outside the window, picked up the teapot he had just put down, and shoved the spout into his mouth, gulping it down!
Xiao Se looked at Lei Wujie and said, "You came down from only the thirteenth floor? It's much worse than I expected!"
After taking a few sips of tea, Lei Wujie put down the teapot and said to Xiao Se, "I haven't lost yet! That guy on the thirteenth floor won't fight me; he wants to settle the score with dice!"
Xiao Se, you're really good at this! Give me a hand!
Xiao Se didn't agree immediately. He gestured again and said softly, "Eight hundred taels!"
Lei Wujie needed Xiao Se's help at this moment, so he didn't haggle this time. After hearing Xiao Se's offer, he nodded repeatedly!
Xiao Se then deduced the identity of the thirteenth floor guardian, and even the identity of the person behind him. When Lei Wujie heard the identity of the person behind him, he immediately spat out the tea he had just drunk!
Fortunately, Qing Mo quickly pulled Yueji up, but Xiao Se's clothes were sprayed with some water stains, and Xiao Se looked helpless!
However, after he inquired about the details of Lei Wujie's time on the thirteenth floor, Lei Wujie told him what happened up there. Xiao Se listened and thought for a moment, then understood the other party's method. He then told Lei Wujie how to get through the thirteenth floor!
After hearing Xiao Se's words, Lei Wujie ran up to the Heaven Ascension Pavilion again. Fei Xuan crossed his arms and said to Li Fansong beside him, "Junior Uncle, this Red Clad youth came and went. It seems he really just took a break!"
If this continues, someone else will steal all the limelight today!
Upon hearing Fei Xuan's words, Li Fansong confidently replied, "Don't rush. Once he reaches the top of the pavilion, I'll go up and chase him down, saving me the effort of climbing up each floor!"
Fei Xuan shook his head helplessly and said, "Junior Uncle~! There's really no one lazier than you in this world!"
While Fei Xuan and Li Fansong were talking outside, Fei Xuan Qing Mo looked at them through the window and said, "Young Li Fansong priests, would you like to come in and have a cup of tea?"
Upon hearing Qing Mo's words, Li Fansong and Fei Xuan subconsciously turned around to look at the three people inside the window. Qing Mo was about to pull out something from behind his back Fei Xuan Li Fansong quickly grabbed him!
Li Fansong then asked Qing Mo, "Has this young master seen us before?"
Qing Mo smiled and shook his head, then said, "This is our first meeting, but there are countless people in the martial world who are looking for me!"
Upon hearing Qing Mo's words, the chubby Fei Xuan scratched his head, unable to recall what he was talking about, and then asked, "A lot of people are planning to look for you? Are you famous?"
At this moment, Li Fansong looked at Qing Mo with surprise. He quickly put his hands on Fei Xuan's shoulders and shook him repeatedly, his eyes brimming with excitement. He remembered that there was a rumor circulating in the martial arts world about a visitor from outer space, and this news came from Heavenly Revelation City!
Li Fansong, facing the still-shaking Fei Xuan, excitedly exclaimed, " Fei Xuan, he, he is that visitor from outer space! The Immortal is right before our eyes!"
Fei Xuan pushed away Li Fansong's hands that were pressing on his shoulders. He looked at Qing Mo carefully and realized that he could not deduce Qing Mo's past or future at all, as if he were shrouded in an extremely thick fog!
Fei Xuan and Li Fansong immediately bowed to Qing Mo, but just as they were about to speak, Qing Mo interrupted them, saying, "Alright, no need for formalities. There are too many people around outside! Come in and have some tea!"
Upon hearing Qing Mo's words, Li Fansong and Fei Xuan quickly entered the teahouse. As they approached Qing Mo Qing Mo, they bowed deeply once more, and only after Qing Mo nodded in acknowledgment did they sit down opposite her.
Just as Yueji was pouring tea for the two of them, Qing Mo looked at Li Fansong and said, "You're here to challenge the Heaven Ascension Pavilion too, right?"
Upon hearing Qing Mo's question, Li Fansong immediately sat up straight and replied respectfully, "Yes, Immortal! I have long heard that Snow Moon City is the largest city in the martial world. We came down the mountain this time to broaden our horizons!"
Qing Mo smiled and looked at Li Fansong, saying, "More than that, right? Isn't it for someone? You hear the Sword Immortal talking about her every day, and now that you're in Snow Moon City, how can you satisfy your curiosity if you don't see her in person, right?"
Hearing Qing Mo's words, Li Fansong no longer had anything to hide and immediately said, "What the Immortal says is absolutely right. Besides trying to enter the Heaven Ascension Pavilion, the reason I came to Snow Moon City is to see the person my master often talks about!"
Upon hearing Qing Mo's words, Xiao Se realized who Li Fansong wanted to see. After all, it wasn't easy for others to know what had happened on Green City Mountain, but as Ji Ruofeng's disciple, how could he not know?
Then Qing Mo continued, "So, when you asked her about swordsmanship, did you want guidance, or did you want to get beaten up?"
Upon hearing Qing Mo's words, Li Fansong quickly replied, "Of course he wants guidance! Who wants to get beaten up for no reason?"
Of course, if possible, I would also like to receive your guidance, but I don't know if I have the honor!
In the end, Li Fansong became a little embarrassed. He was not only lazy but also greedy. Not only did he want to get guidance from the Snow Moon Sword Immortal, but he also wanted Qing Mo to give him some pointers!
Upon hearing Li Fansong's words, Qing Mo was instantly amused, and then he said, "You little rascal, you're really greedy! Not content with asking the Sword Immortal of Snow Moon, you actually want my guidance too!"
However, don't expect any guidance from me. But I might ask Jian Snow Moon City for advice later, and you can watch from the sidelines!
Upon hearing Qing Mo's words, Xiao Se, Yueji, Fei Xuan, and Li Fansong's eyes widened. They hadn't expected Qing Mo to question Snow Moon City, which might cause the three city lords to attack simultaneously!
If that's the case, then this trip has been really worthwhile. However, at this moment, Sikong Changfeng led Tang Lian and walked quickly toward the teahouse. He had recently received news that Qing Mo and his group had arrived in Snow Moon City!
Actually, the spies from Snow Moon City remembered Qing Mo, so they quickly went to inform Sikong Changfeng that Sikong Qianluo had gone out of the city today, but she had already gone out of the city to be called back!
" Immortal, it's been a long time! Welcome to Snow Moon City!"
"Greetings, Immortal!"
Sikong Changfeng brought Tang Lian to Qing Mo and the others. At the same time, he also saw Fei Xuan and Li Fansong. He learned that they had come to ask about swordsmanship, but Sikong Changfeng didn't say anything.
However, after one of the disciples whispered something in Tang Lian's ear, he turned around and told Sikong Changfeng. In the end, Sikong Changfeng told Tang Lian to take Sikong Qianluo's place on the fourteenth floor today!
Then, Sikong Changfeng said to Qing Mo somewhat apologetically, "Qianluo suddenly went out of the city today for some reason, I'm really sorry to have kept the Immortal waiting here!"
Qing Mo shook his head, but at this moment he noticed that Sikong Qianluo had already ridden into Snow Moon City with the other disciples. Then he looked at Xiao Se and said, " Xiao Se, for the Yinzi! It will be your turn to take action soon. Qianluo has returned to Snow Moon City. I suppose she has been practicing the spear techniques I taught her diligently all this time!"
If we let her go up there, that idiot might not even make it to the top floor before she gets shot down!
Upon hearing Qing Mo mention the issue of Yinzi, and then hearing the approaching sound of horses' hooves, Xiao Se did not hesitate at all. He immediately used his lightness skill, < Cloud Treading >, to jump out of the window. After all, he had come here with Lei Wujie for money!
At this moment, Qing Mo looked at Li Fansong beside him and said, "Kid, you can go and wait at the Heaven Ascension Pavilion now! The person you're asking about the sword will arrive soon!"
Upon hearing Qing Mo's words, Li Fansong immediately stood up, bowed to Qing Mo, and said, "Thank you, Immortal. This junior will go there now!"
Just as Li Fansong was about to leave, Qing Mo immediately stood up, put his hand on Li Fansong's shoulder and said, "Kid, if you go up like this, you might get a really bad beating!"
I have a method; if you do as I say, there's a 90% chance that person will give you guidance!
Upon hearing Qing Mo's words, Yueji and Fei Xuan secretly pricked up their ears, eager to learn the method as well. However, the happiest of all was Li Fansong, who was about to ask the sword!
He immediately asked Qing Mo, "Please tell me, Immortal, what is the method?"
Qing Mo then said with a smile, "Come on, let's go out first. I'll tell you a secret: this method won't work if too many people know about it!"
Upon hearing Qing Mo's words, Li Fansong nodded excitedly. He followed Qing Mo out of the teahouse. However, Sikong Changfeng had a rough idea of the method Qing Mo was referring to, since the young man who wanted to ask about the sword was a disciple of the Dao Sword Zhao Yuzhen!
