Wen Min no longer wanted to talk to Ji Changfeng.
Don't ask.
If you did, it was all luck.
Heh heh~
Wen Min looked toward Lu Xueqi in the distance and smiled gently as she introduced her. "Xueqi, this is Junior Brother Ji Changfeng from Dazhu Peak."
After saying that,
she introduced Lu Xueqi to Ji Changfeng as well.
"Junior Brother Ji, this is the Junior Sister Lu I just told you about."
For a moment,
Ji Changfeng and Lu Xueqi's gazes met.
Ji Changfeng smiled faintly and spoke first. "Ji Changfeng of Dazhu Peak greets Junior Sister Lu."
The moment he said this,
Lu Xueqi could not help but frown.
Junior Sister Lu?
What gave him the right to call her Junior Sister?
She had entered the sect two years before him.
A few thoughts surfaced in Lu Xueqi's mind as she said coolly, "Lu Xueqi of Xiaozhu Peak greets Junior Brother Ji."
Hmph.
If he called her Junior Sister, then she would call him Junior Brother!
Wen Min's eyes flickered slightly.
Her gaze shifted back and forth between Ji Changfeng and Lu Xueqi, as though she had noticed something was off.
But what exactly was wrong,
she could not say.
Wen Min secretly shook her head, then looked at Lu Xueqi and said softly, "Xueqi, Master asked you to go to Jingzhu Pavilion. Aunt Su and Junior Sister Ling'er have come to Xiaozhu Peak."
"Alright, Senior Sister." Lu Xueqi nodded lightly.
The moment she saw Ji Changfeng,
she understood that Aunt Su had returned to Xiaozhu Peak.
Wen Min then turned her gaze to Ji Changfeng. "Junior Brother Ji, what about you? Are you planning to stay at Moon-Gazing Platform for a while, or..."
Ji Changfeng waved his hand.
Before Wen Min could finish, he directly said, "Senior Sister Wenmin, I'll head back with you."
He had seen what he needed to see.
He had comprehended what he needed to comprehend.
Why stay here otherwise?
To bask in the sun?
"Alright." Wen Min nodded.
The three of them returned the way they came, heading for Jingzhu Pavilion halfway up the mountain.
Ji Changfeng's meeting with Lu Xueqi did not cause much of a stir.
Yet he left a deep impression on Lu Xueqi.
Hmm...
How should she put it?
He was talented, and also a little annoying.
He had been in the sect for less than four months, yet he kept calling her Junior Sister Lu...
She had been in the sect for two and a half years!
What gave him the right to call her Junior Sister?
Lu Xueqi's gaze drifted toward Ji Changfeng from time to time, a trace of displeasure faintly flashing in her eyes.
Ji Changfeng pretended not to see it.
Sometimes,
teasing a Cold Girl was quite entertaining.
Hmm... much more fun than Little Ling'er.
Little Ling'er could not be teased. The moment he teased her, she would cry.
But Nai Qi was different.
If he teased her, she would only glare at him with a cold face, a flicker of embarrassment and irritation passing through her dark eyes as she sulked by herself.
That was the charm of a Cold Girl.
Upon returning to Shoujing Hall,
all the Xiaozhu Peak disciples had already gathered there.
They sat obediently in place.
They were completely different from when they had surrounded Ji Changfeng earlier.
"Disciples Lu Xueqi and Wen Min greet Master and Aunt Su."
Lu Xueqi and Wen Min stepped forward and respectfully bowed.
Ji Changfeng followed right behind them.
Seeing Ji Changfeng return so suddenly, Su Ru's eyes filled with surprise as she asked somewhat anxiously,
"Changfeng, weren't you going to take a proper look at Moon-Gazing Platform? Why did you return so soon?"
Hearing this, Master Shuiyue found it rather strange.
What did she mean, returned so soon?
Something was wrong!
Something was very wrong here!
Ji Changfeng smiled faintly. "Master's wife, I have seen all that I needed to see and comprehended all that I needed to comprehend, so naturally I returned..."
The moment he said this, Su Ru's face lit up.
"You mean you comprehended it?"
"Yes, Master's wife." Ji Changfeng nodded slightly.
Their baffling exchange
immediately left everyone in Jingzhu Pavilion confused.
Comprehended? Comprehended what?
Master Shuiyue asked curiously, "Junior Sister, what exactly are you talking about?"
She felt that something was deeply amiss.
Not to mention that Su Ru had just given her several Great Yellow Pills.
One had to know,
the Great Yellow Pill was Dazhu Peak's sacred healing medicine.
That dead fat Tian Buyi treasured them dearly. How could he possibly bear to give them away?!
After hesitating for a moment, Su Ru felt there was no need to hide such a matter from her own senior sister, so she said directly,
"Changfeng... Changfeng has comprehended a sword art."
"An unmatched sword art!"
"An unmatched sword art?" Master Shuiyue froze slightly upon hearing that.
Her first thought was, how could that be possible?
How old was Ji Changfeng?
How high was his cultivation?
He had comprehended a sword art? And it was even titled "unmatched"?
That was even more impossible!
Noticing the disbelief on Master Shuiyue's face, Su Ru smiled lightly and said excitedly to Ji Changfeng,
"Changfeng, your Aunt Shuiyue doesn't believe you. Why don't you prove it to her?!"
Ji Changfeng smiled faintly at that.
"Yes, Master's wife."
As soon as he finished speaking, he glanced around and said,
"Master's wife, Aunt Shuiyue, there isn't enough room here to display it. Why don't I demonstrate outside?"
"Let's go." Master Shuiyue rose without hesitation.
She wanted to see just how formidable the sword art Ji Changfeng had comprehended was!
How dare it be called "unmatched"?!
Su Ru followed right after her.
A hint of excitement appeared on her elegant, dignified face.
She was no different from Tian Ling'er, who usually loved to show off.
It could only be said that mother and daughter were truly alike.
Though Su Ru usually appeared dignified and graceful, she had also been quite the clever little troublemaker of Xiaozhu Peak in her youth.
At that moment,
seeing that the two elders had gone outside,
the disciples in Jingzhu Pavilion could no longer sit still either.
They all got up and ran outside to watch.
"Hey, do you think Junior Brother Ji really created an unmatched sword art?"
"Who knows?"
"I think it's possible..."
"I don't believe it!"
The disciples chattered among themselves.
Following behind Master Shuiyue, Lu Xueqi looked at Ji Changfeng with curiosity in her cold eyes.
Had he...
really comprehended an unmatched sword art?
At that moment,
Ji Changfeng stood before the crowd, ignoring the many gazes behind him as an astonishing Sword Intent suddenly erupted from his body.
Boom—
The razor-sharp Sword Intent shot straight into the heavens.
It carried an air of looking down upon all things and forging ahead without hesitation.
Ji Changfeng slowly turned around.
He looked at Lu Xueqi behind Master Shuiyue and smiled faintly. "Junior Sister Lu, may I borrow your sword?"
Lu Xueqi froze slightly at his words.
Her gaze involuntarily turned toward her master, Master Shuiyue.
Master Shuiyue nodded imperceptibly.
Lu Xueqi was just about to step forward and lend the Heavenly Ya Divine Sword to Ji Changfeng...
But at that moment—
Whoosh—
Ji Changfeng let out a soft shout.
"Sword, come!"
Boom—
In an instant, an astonishing Sword Intent erupted.
Drawn by an invincible Sword Intent, the Heavenly Ya Divine Sword immediately burst forth with dazzling blue light.
Clang—
The Heavenly Ya Divine Sword released a clear Sword Cry.
Then it flew from its sheath of its own accord.
It landed directly in Ji Changfeng's hand.
!!!
This scene immediately made Lu Xueqi's eyes widen.
"My Tianya Sword..."
The Cold Girl could not help but cry out.
She felt as though the Heavenly Ya Divine Sword had abandoned her.
Master Shuiyue and Su Ru both revealed astonished expressions.
Divine Swords possessed spirit, that was true.
But...
Lu Xueqi was its owner.
So why had it eagerly run over to Ji Changfeng just because he called out to it?!
What was even more astonishing was yet to come.
Clang—
Ji Changfeng gripped the Heavenly Ya Divine Sword. His gaze was calm as he looked straight at the sky, an unrivaled aura erupting from his body.
"Sword Opens the Heavenly Gate!"
A clear shout rang out.
The next moment.
He raised his sword and swung.
"Rumble—"
Boundless Sword Intent erupted from the blade of the Heavenly Ya Divine Sword. A crescent-shaped Sword Qi slashed forth, gradually expanding through the air...
In an instant, it spread across a radius of ten li.
Everyone felt a fierce wind sweep over them. They closed their eyes, and when they opened them again, the clouds overhead had already been split in two.
It was as though someone had cleaved open the heavens with a single sword strike!
