Xiandao Linglong

Chapter 119 Walking Together

"You can ask such a question and claim that you are a casual swordsman? Brother, do you think I am a three-year-old child?" Ye Qi chuckled as he looked at Wu Bai's harmless appearance.

Wu Bai smiled awkwardly, then bowed and asked, "Who is your master?"

"Master has long passed away. I think you wouldn't recognize him even if I told you!"

"I'm sorry for being rude, but I can ask this in another way. Is your surname Yue, Master?"

Ye Qi was shocked when he heard his voice. Although his master's name was known to everyone in this world, she had passed away many years ago. If he hadn't admitted it, no one would know that he had a master-disciple relationship with her. What's more, the Yixi sword had been lost for more than ten years. Except for those old monsters, it was almost impossible for anyone to recognize it easily with just the naked eye!

"I think you have recognized the wrong person!" After Ye Qi finished speaking, his face turned dark, and he turned around, no longer paying attention to him, and walked away alone.

"Why are you so nervous, little brother? I don't mean any harm!"

Seeing Ye Qi's extreme vigilance, Wu Bai smiled calmly, then trotted a few steps to catch up, put his arm around Ye Qi's shoulders, and continued, "My master, Xuan Yi, is the junior apprentice of the previous owner of this sword. My master's greatest wish in this life is to see Senior Aunt Yue again. Although I have no chance to see Senior Aunt Yue, I think seeing her sword can ease my longing!"

"Not interested in!"

Ye Qi forcefully pried away the hand that was around his shoulder, shook it off violently, and left without looking back.

"You are not interested, but I am, Ye Qi. We have a long way to go, but we have a long way to go!" Wu Bai watched Ye Qi gradually disappear from his sight, chuckled, and left.

Seeing that Wu Bai hadn't caught up, Ye Qi also stopped in front of the Blackwater City gate. Looking at the buttocks exposed behind the tree not far away, he tiptoed around behind her and slapped her soft buttocks. He chuckled and said, "Who is this? Like an ostrich, only caring about the head and not the tail!"

"Ah! Ye Qi! You... bastard! I'm going to kill you!"

Jingshu suddenly felt a pain on her butt, and she shuddered subconsciously, then jumped up. Seeing that the person behind her was Ye Qi, she pointed at him and cursed him angrily. With a frightening look on her face, she held the silver spear and pretended to stab him!

"Shu'er! What weird story have you read again? Let me tell you, a plot involving murder cannot be performed casually, or something serious will happen!" Ye Qi said hurriedly while dancing to avoid the spear swung by Jing Shu.

"You still dare to hide? Let me ask you, I've been waiting for you on that road for a whole day, why did you come here by yourself? If you don't give me a satisfactory answer today, I will make you... make you... die without a burial place!" Jing Shu's cheeks puffed up with anger, one hand on her waist, the other holding a gun. She forgot the words while speaking, turned her back and secretly flipped through the storybook, turned around and immediately became angry and continued speaking.

"Uh... didn't you deliberately drop the map to remind me to come to Blackwater City?" Ye Qi spread his hands and said helplessly, feeling a little overwhelmed.

"When did I ask you to come to Blackwater City? It was when I was at the clinic and saw a madman throw down a treasure map. I saw the location was marked on it, so I waited until we got to Rain Mountain to see what treasures were there. Who knew you would steal it? Tell me, did you find anything?"

Jing Shu walked around Ye Qi's body, stripping him of his clothes and sniffing him thoroughly. Suddenly, she stood on tiptoe, grabbed his collar, and said, "You smell like a woman? Tell me, what did you do?"

"Hey! Please don't look at me like you're catching someone cheating, okay? What nonsense have you learned from the storybooks while I was away?" Ye Qi looked unable to refute anything and was left speechless by Jing Shu's words. He sighed helplessly.

Seeing Ye Qi mention the storybook, Jing Shu was also full of doubts. According to the storybook, there was nothing wrong with it, right? She immediately took out the storybook, flipped through it, and said, "The storybook says that men who secretly look for women are scum, bastards, and rogues!"

Ye Qi snatched the storybook, stretched out his arms and raised it high, saying: "We are not...that kind of relationship, so why am I a scumbag, a bastard, or a scoundrel?"

"Give me back my book!"

Jingshu stood on tiptoe and stretched out her arms but could not touch the book that was so close to her. Then she suddenly changed her claws into palms and slapped Ye Qi on the shoulder. Immediately, her figure flew backwards and landed on the ground covered with weeds. The book in her hand also flew out of her hand when her body was out of control and was caught by Jingshu.

Ye Qi stood up from the ground in a panic, brushed off the weeds on his body, and said, "My little aunt! Who taught you to take action so easily?"

"That's what the storybook says! Men won't behave themselves unless they're beaten. It's more effective to use fists than to reason with men. Looking at you, it seems that what the storybook says is true!" Jingshu said as she walked and read the book.

Ye Qi had no choice but to follow her, but he secretly had the idea of burning all her storybooks in fire when she was not paying attention next time. He really didn't know where she bought these fake and shoddy storybooks from. They were all full of questionable and low-quality stories. The originally innocent girl had become like this.

"Ye Qi! Tell me, after I noticed you had intimate contact with another woman, should I pretend to be angry and ask who is more beautiful, me or her? But I'm curious, why do you have to compare? Does this world always judge people by appearance? I don't understand! I feel like the new storybook I bought this time is a bit obscure and difficult to understand!"

"Uh! This... maybe... it's not necessarily about judging people by their appearance?" Ye Qi responded hesitantly.

"Aren't you judging people by appearance? Then why do you have to compare who is prettier? Is there anyone in this world prettier than me?"

"A hundred flowers bloom, each with its own fragrance!"

"So what you're saying is, you're tired of looking at me every day? So you want to find a girl who's more pleasing to your eyes?"

Seeing that she asked this question, Ye Qi really didn't know how to answer. He pretended not to hear it and tried to get away with it. He said, "Shu'er! Look, we have been traveling for such a long time. The people we met along the way are all silent. They are saving their energy for the Rain Mountain Trial. How about we save some energy as well?"

"Do you think I talk too much and it annoys you?" Jingshu suddenly narrowed her eyes and said in a threatening tone.

Ye Qi suddenly felt a sense of danger, and the expression on his face froze instantly. He said with a forced smile: "How could that be? How could that be? Shu'er's voice makes me feel relaxed and happy. I wish I could hear it every day! Every day!"

"However, you do have some truth in what you said. We need to conserve our energy to deal with crises. So... you can carry me on your back so I can have the energy to talk to you!"
