Starry Sky Railway: Twin Origins

Chapter 115 Can your sword strike cut down the stars in the sky?

After this battle to defend the title came to an end.

Most of the spectators who had gathered near the ring quickly dispersed and returned to their daily lives.

Only a few staff members who organized the competition remained to clean up the site.

This caused the once bustling scene to suddenly become empty and silent.

Just as Lin Qiong was about to turn around and leave, and had just taken a few steps,

A slightly hurried voice suddenly came from behind him, calling out to him.

"Master! Wait a minute!"

Upon hearing the voice, Lin Qiong did not stop walking, assuming that the voice was not calling him.

The owner of the voice saw that Lin Qiong did not stop.

He then quickened his pace, caught up with Lin Qiong, and blocked his way.

"what?"

Seeing someone blocking his way, Lin Qiong became suspicious.

When he looked up and examined the person blocking his way, he was momentarily stunned.

Li Sushang stood before him, carrying Xuanyuan, with a beaming smile.

She said with a hint of surprise in her voice, "Master, I didn't expect to see you here!"

Lin Qiong looked at Li Sushang in front of him, the doubt in his eyes growing even stronger.

He frowned deeply, muttering to himself, "How did I end up becoming her master?"

To resolve his doubts, Lin Qiong couldn't help but bring up the question directly.

Upon hearing this, Li Sushang was slightly taken aback, then scratched the back of her head sheepishly and explained, "Ah! I forgot to mention!"

She quickly took out a letter from her bosom, gently unfolded it, and handed it to Lin Qiong.

“I made a copy of the book you gave me, and when I sent the copy to my mother, I also wrote to her to tell her about it.”

"As a result, I received her reply the very next day. In addition to praising the contents of the book, she strongly suggested that I should definitely become her student no matter what."

"The reason I was able to become so strong so quickly is all thanks to my master's book!"

Lin Qiong listened to Li Sushang's explanation while reading the letter she handed him.

However, since the letter was written in classical Chinese, he only roughly understood its meaning.

In the letter, Li's mother gave high praise to the book "Tai Xu Sword Qi" and specifically instructed Li Sushang to study it diligently and practice hard, and to carefully comprehend the contents of the book.

There was also this passage written on it.

If I am fortunate enough to meet that generous senior again in the future, I must seize the opportunity, sincerely ask him to be my teacher, and humbly seek his guidance.

"This..." After reading the letter, Lin Qiong felt a complex mix of emotions.

He never expected that the "Tai Xu Sword Qi" he casually gave away would cause such a huge reaction.

and.

This book was pieced together from his memory, and Lin Qiong himself was unsure whether many of the details were accurate.

But what Lin Qiong found out was that Li Sushang had actually succeeded in mastering it.

Looking into Li Sushang's expectant eyes, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Just as Lin Qiong was pondering how to refuse Li Sushang.

Just then, Yanqing, who was carrying a sword, walked over.

He was gazing at the precious swords in his arms, a look of regret on his face, muttering to himself, "Oh dear, I impulsively opened and used them all. I was planning to keep a few as collectibles..."

But when Yanqing overheard Lin Qiong and Li Sushang's conversation, his body trembled involuntarily.

He looked at the two of them with disbelief, thinking, "Could it be that Miss Su Chang possesses such strength because of a book given to her by someone else?"

The thought had barely crossed my mind when it was replaced by a new one: "Could I ask him for some guidance?"

With this in mind, Yanqing made up her mind and walked straight toward Lin Qiong.

"teacher!"

A voice suddenly called out to Lin Qiong, who was lost in thought, pulling him out of his reverie.

He looked up and saw Yanqing standing in front of him, looking at him with expectant eyes, and saying with clasped hands:

"Yanqing still has many shortcomings in the way of swordsmanship. Please give Yanqing some guidance."

Lin Qiong was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

"...teacher?"

He repeated it softly, his eyes filled with confusion.

Before he could even figure out how to refuse Li Sushang's request to become his apprentice, Yanqing came running over and called him "teacher." What was going on with her today?

Lin Qiong looked into Yan Qing's longing eyes and was momentarily speechless.

We can't just tell Yanqing that miracles happen with great effort, can we?

Even Lin Qiong himself relied on the astonishing destructive power of the Heavenly Fire to win battle after battle.

What's more, he has now obtained the Black Abyss White Flower.

If he encounters a messenger, he can rely on his powerful recovery ability to play dirty tricks on the enemy.

Of course, it's a different story if it's an enemy of the level of Huang Quan.

you ask why?

If you can kill someone instantly with one strike, what's the point of restoring anything?

......

Thinking about this...

Lin Qiong smiled helplessly at the two of them, spread his hands and said, "Well... I really don't have anything to teach you. I don't even know the contents of that book myself."

however.

This made Yanqing think that Lin Qiong was hiding his true abilities, and the thirst for knowledge in her eyes grew even stronger.

He secretly admired him, thinking, "This is the true demeanor of a master! Even with such great strength, the teacher still maintains such a humble attitude, which is truly admirable."

Yanqing took a deep breath and continued sincerely, "Earlier, I learned from the general that you possess many miraculous abilities."

"Since the general returned from the mysterious root of Jianmu, his spirit and energy are more abundant than before, and he exudes a youthful vitality."

"When I asked him why, he immediately expressed great admiration for the teacher's amazing healing ability."

"Therefore... I would appreciate it if you could give Yanqing some valuable advice."

Simultaneously.

Li Sushang nodded vigorously in agreement, repeatedly saying, "Me too."

She knew that her education level was not high, unlike Yanqing's extensive knowledge and ability to use appropriate words to express her admiration for Lin Qiong.

But the gratitude she felt was no less than Yanqing's intense thirst for knowledge.

Feeling the sincerity in their eyes, Lin Qiong couldn't help but feel a deep sense of helplessness.

He really has nothing to teach!

Just as he was feeling troubled, a white-haired woman walked towards him.

When Lin Qiong saw the woman's face clearly, his eyes widened involuntarily, and a look of astonishment appeared on his face.

The woman was dressed in a blue and black outfit, with an exquisitely beautiful face and an aura of cold, murderous intent emanating from her.

Like a sharp sword hidden in the deepest abyss of extreme cold, it inspires awe in all who behold it.

What's most surprising is that her eyes are covered by a delicate black cloth, creating a mysterious and unpredictable feeling.

Lin Qiong recognized the woman almost instantly upon seeing her; she was Jing Liu, the former "Sword Master" of the Immortal Boat Luofu.

"Da, da, da."

As the sound of Jing Liu's knee-high boots striking the ground gradually became clearer.

Yanqing and Li Sushang also turned their heads involuntarily, trying to find the source of the footsteps.

When their gazes settled on Jingliu, they couldn't help but shudder.

It is incredibly dangerous for a "blind" person to walk on the street without any assistance!

Adhering to the belief of "doing one good deed every day and reflecting on oneself three times a day", Li Sushang immediately decided to step forward and help the "blind" woman.

"Excuse me, where are you going? Let me show you the way."

Li Sushang's words were full of tenderness and concern.

She gently reached out her hand, seemingly intending to help Jingliu up.

however.

Before she could even touch Kagami's arm, Kagami had already grasped her hand in return.

"Young lady, I appreciate your kindness."

Jing Liu's emotionless words reached Li Sushang's ears, causing her to pause slightly in surprise.

now.

Li Sushang was surprised to find that even though his eyes were covered by cloth, Jing Liu was looking directly at her when he spoke.

"...Sister, can you 'see' me?" Li Sushang blurted out subconsciously, her voice filled with curiosity.

Upon hearing this, Jing Liu smiled slightly: "The fact that the black veil covers my eyes does not mean that I cannot see; you are just assuming that."

"Oh, this..."

A blush immediately spread across Li Sushang's face.

She realized that her previous thoughts were too one-sided, and that she had indiscriminately regarded others as "blind," a hasty judgment that made her feel somewhat ashamed.

She quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, sister, I was too rash and jumped to conclusions without thinking carefully."

Jing Liu released Li Sushang's hand and said calmly, "It's alright, little girl. People are often easily misled by appearances."

As she spoke, she glanced at Yan Qing, who was about to step forward, and Lin Qiong, whose face was full of surprise.

then.

Jing Liu's gaze returned to Li Sushang, and he asked, "Little girl, I came here to inquire about the giant sword that appeared in the sky just now. Do you know who created it?"

Li Sushang lowered her head shyly, gently biting her lip, and whispered, "To be honest, sister, that giant sword was something I conjured..."

"I just wanted to try out my new technique, I didn't expect it to disturb so many people..."

Her voice grew softer and softer until it disappeared.

It seems that she herself did not expect that this move would cause such a huge commotion.

Upon hearing this, Jingliu raised an eyebrow, a look of surprise appearing on his face.

"Oh? To have such strength at such a young age, you must already be a renowned swordsman on Luofu, right?"

"Little girl, what's your name?"

Jing Liu wore a faint smile, his words revealing his keen interest in Li Sushang.

Upon hearing this, Li Sushang lowered her head even further: "Sister, you flatter me. I am just a new recruit who has just joined the Luofu Cloud Cavalry and is still undergoing training... Just call me Sushang."

"Hmm...I see." Jing Liu nodded, the admiration in his eyes growing even stronger. "It seems that Luo Fu is still as full of talented people as ever..."

She couldn't help but turn her head, her gaze fixed on a distant direction, a look of reminiscence naturally appearing on her face.

"...The same as before?"

Li Sushang caught this detail in Jing Liu's words, and a hint of curiosity flashed in her eyes.

She opened her mouth slightly, about to ask Jing Liu if he was a local of Luofu.

Jing Liu had already quietly leaned close to Li Sushang's ear and whispered in a voice only she could hear:

"Was that sword strike you unleashed... capable of cleaving down the stars in the sky?"
