After Favorability Is Maxed

Chapter 152: I’m Only Missing One Sword

Zuo Youhuai lowered his head and reached out to touch the card that had been returned to him.

The letter was very simple, and the content was also very simple.

‘Zuo Youhuai, the 27th Sword Pavilion Master of the Jade Snow Mountain in Shu.’

The card had been on his desk for a few days.

That Saint who had long since retired into seclusion really had a personality like the rumors said.

He was not the kind of person who refused to let people stay a thousand miles away from him. At least, the high-level forces of the Shangyang knew where he lived in seclusion, and they could easily contact him.

It wasn’t that they didn’t pay a visit, but they would definitely be rejected at the door when they arrived.

As for those who wanted to force their way in, they would be beaten back by the Demon Lord guarding the gate.

As time passed, no one dared to disturb him.

However, the invitation card was basically not rejected. Most people would ask this Saint for advice if they had problems in cultivation, conflicts between forces, or even family affairs.

This Saint might have said that he was living in seclusion, but in reality, he seemed to have become the intimate elder of all the higher-ups. He was like a tree hole, and they could tell him anything. After all, he did not participate in the disputes of the secular world. Moreover, the answers he received were of high quality.

Why not?

Even when they communicated with each other, they would use the questions and answers they had given to the sages as topics of discussion.

If Liu Yuan knew what the upper echelons of these forces were doing, he would definitely ridicule them.

Wasn’t this just a post?

Although there was only one person who replied to the posts, there would occasionally be people sharing the content of each other’s posts and commenting.

This was simply the prototype of an online forum. If this group of Immortal cultivators were given the internet, who knew what kind of mess they would come up with?

In short, everyone liked to communicate with this Saint.

Therefore, at least logically speaking, there would be a letter of visit sent to the place where the Saint lived in seclusion about every month.

However, very few people could really have any experience of talking and laughing with this Saint, and most of them were only given a few words of advice.

However, Zuo Youhuai always felt that this Saint was treating their affairs as gossip. When he was bored, he would flip through it to see what was going on, to recover his feelings or thoughts.

It had to be said that in terms of state of mind, this Saint had already completely returned to his original state.

It was rumored that the only person in Shangyang who was still at the Mahayana stage was still in this world. Because he had sealed himself, he was able to stay here and not Ascend. It was normal for him to have such a state of mind.

However, it was such an affable Saint who was willing to listen to gossip that returned Zuo Youhuai’s card.

Zuo Youhuai picked up the card. His personal information was written on the front of the card, and on the back, the Saint had personally written a sentence.

“The one who tied the bell must untie the bell.”

“Sigh.”

Zuo Youhuai sighed and finally put down the card.

His eyes were still covered with a layer of white mist, which made him look a little scary. However, those who had really come into contact with the Sword Pavilion Master would think that he had a good personality.

Although he was blind, he was no different from an ordinary blind man. If it was not for the fact that he was still young when he was persecuted by his enemies, and his injuries had already stabilized, he would have no choice but to be a blind man on the physical level.

Where he was injured now, it would not take more than the time it took to brew a cup of tea to recover to its original state.

He was blind, but his heart was not.

However, even the wise Sword Pavilion Master could not see through the meaning behind this reply: ‘The one who tied the bell must untie the bell’.

This was because the content of his card was about Jiang Feng, or rather, the kid whose real name was Liu Yuan.

If duan lanruo, as the City Lord of the City of Ten Thousand Swords, could find something, Zuo Youhuai would naturally be able to find it as well.

Once the fake identity was removed, it was as if a clear shell had been removed from this guy, leaving behind the mystery inside.

He had suddenly appeared in the territory of the mortal kingdom of Jiang. There seemed to be no news of him before this, but he seemed to be an old acquaintance of the City Lord of the City of Ten Thousand Swords, Duan Lanruo.

Zuo Youhuai had a certain level of understanding of Duan Lanruo. After all, she was the wife of the previous Pavilion Master and a 9-star swordsmith. The two of them were considered good friends, superior and subordinate, and fellow Daoists. However, he never knew that the City Lord had a little lover that he had been secretly meeting for a long time.

Not only that, the person the Green Lotus Swordsman was chasing after was him, and the Young Mistress of the Xuanyin family was willing to return the Skyring Rword because of him. The relatively big events in the cultivation world these days were all related to him. It was as if the entire Shangyang had begun to move as soon as he had appeared.

It seemed that anyone could have a relationship with him, even the lady boss of the Yuelai Inn in the city.

Although Zuo Youhuai did admire Jiang Feng’s ability, and there was no problem with his character after a short observation and communication, he could not help but feel surprised. Even the City of Ten Thousand Swords seemed to have become his back garden.

Based on Liu Yuan’s strength on the surface, it was definitely not possible.

That was why Zuo Youhuai had investigated his background. He would not have known if he had not investigated. The moment he did, he found out that he had not only appeared in the Jiang Kingdom, but also in Chiyu Villa.

The place where the Saint lived in seclusion.

Was this a coincidence?

It was obvious that it was not him. Zuo Youhuai quickly sent out a call card and asked about Liu Yuan’s true identity. Then, he received that 10-word reply.

The sword servant also brought along a message from the Saint.

“He did me a favor in the past.”

One could only imagine how shocked the Sword Pavilion Master was.

In the past… The Saint is indebted to him.

He had thought that he was just a disciple, but he turned out to be his benefactor?

Could it be that an Almighty reincarnated, or had he entered the world to experience tribulations?

Although Liu Yuan’s identity was still unknown, Zuo Youhuai had a general understanding of him. He could not be provoked!

No matter what, he had to protect him.

The various signs he observed later, such as his rapid cultivation speed, were indeed more in line with the mysterious temperament of the Almighty.

He definitely could not be treated as a junior.

He had thought that Duan Lanruo had taken advantage of Jiang Feng, but it seemed it was unclear who was the one being taken advantage of.

Zuo Youhuai shook his head and decided not to think about those words for the time being. He looked up at the sword servant.

“Speaking of which, has the Pavilion Master of Taiqing Pavilion arrived?”

“Yes.” the sword servant replied. “He’s talking to the Green Lotus Swordsman. He seems to have the intention of bringing her back to the pavilion.”

“If Shen Lin has the intention to force his hand, stop him. It will show that the Sword Pavilion is on the Green Lotus Swordsman’s side,” Zuo Youhuai ordered.

“Yes,” the sword servant bowed.

…

Shen Sifan sat in her room. Outside, it was still a quiet and peaceful summer night. However, a few days ago, a girl who was trapped in love sat in front of her, and now it was her own brother in front of her.

“Are you done? Just for a man, you ran out here without a care?”

Shen Lin’s face darkened. “You haven’t finished the seventh level of the Green Lotus Sword Song. You’re not only being irresponsible to yourself, but also to the Taiqing Pavilion and the entire Shangyang. The Green Lotus Sword that hasn’t been completely tamed might turn rogue and become an uncontrollable killing sword. If you can’t control it by then, the consequences will be unimaginable.”

Shen Sifan listened quietly for a while, then said calmly, “I’m almost done.”

Shen Lin was stunned. “Done with what?”

“The seventh level of the Green Lotus Sword.”

Shen Sifan’s expression was serious as she looked at the green lotus sword on her knee.

“I’m only missing one sword.”

Shen Lin’s expression froze. He understood what she meant.

This did not mean that Shen Sifan still needed to practice one more sword move to reach the seventh level of the Green Lotus Sword Song. It meant that she had already finished practicing it, and all that was left was to try it out.
