Chapter 176: Proactive Shang Yingnian

Uncle Three spent a pleasant evening on the mountain, ate a meal of Dragon Tooth Rice, then began his shameless nightlife with Liu Yuer; that night he was very happy, and the next morning, before anyone else had gotten up, Uncle Three quietly went down the mountain.

Chen Chuyang naturally knew this; he had already gotten up early to cultivate and practice swordplay, practicing by the fish pond outside the gate, holding a wooden sword, waving it around casually, his movements very slow, as if he weren't practicing swordplay but just horsing around.

The older brother got up, saw Chen Chuyang practicing sword, watched for a while, found it boring, too slow.

"Chuyang, can your sword technique work?"

"Older brother, do you look down on my sword technique?"

Chen Chusheng shook his head: "No, I'm just curious about its power; it's so slow, so weak and feeble, can it work?"

What he wanted to ask was whether this sword technique could kill someone; looking at it, there was no strength at all, it was too weak.

"Do you want to give it a try? Older brother, I guarantee you'll be reluctant to leave."

"No."

Chen Chusheng isn't stupid; he doubts the sword technique, not his younger brother's ability—if he really tried it, he might get beaten up.

If the older brother were beaten up by the younger brother and it got out, how could he still make a living in Longshe Cheng?

To avoid being beaten up by his younger brother, he hurriedly left him and went to work; his daily tasks must be completed, no slacking allowed.

Chen Chuyang smiled at this; he hadn't expected the older brother to be so timid—even after saying all that, the older brother still didn't make a move, and at the crucial moment he chickened out.

About a quarter of an hour later, Shang Hongxue also woke up, saw Chen Chuyang practicing sword, sat beside him watching, with her hands supporting her chin and her knees pressing against her hands, just watching like that; her eyes were filled only with Chuyang big brother, unable to take in anyone else.

One watched, one practiced sword.

Half an hour later.

Chen Chuyang finished his sword practice, saw the little girl giggling foolishly, walked over and sat beside her; the silly girl was still giggling, completely unaware that she was sitting next to him, and Shang Hongxue's dazed state continued for a while; when she came to, she saw Chen Chuyang sitting beside her, smiling at her.

She turned her head, blinked, and then kept blinking.

Seeing her own foolish look just now being seen by Chuyang big brother, her heart fluttered with shyness.

What kind of person is Shang Hongxue—how could she… be frightened? She quickly composed herself.

"Chuyang big brother, why are you practicing sword today?"

The sword-practicing Chuyang big brother is really handsome, rarely seen, just occasionally practicing sword.

"I'm in a good mood, so I practice sword."

"Come, Hongxue, it's your turn."

The time to test the sword technique had come; this girl's sword technique had been practicing all along, and Chen Chuyang had no time to check.

Since teaching her the Azure Sparrow Sword Technique, this girl has been practicing sword all along; I don't know what cultivation level she has reached, whether she has improved, or run into problems.

"Okay, Chuyang big brother."

Shang Hongxue wasn't shy either; she picked up a wooden sword, stood in front of Chen Chuyang, and began demonstrating her sword technique.

She danced gracefully, like an azure sparrow.

The azure sparrow in the mountains, drifting down to land on the branches.

Her body was like an azure sparrow dancing in the sky.

Every movement was so light and gentle.

Even the wind merged with her; at this moment, she was the wind, she was the true azure sparrow.

After demonstrating the sword technique once, Chen Chuyang clapped: "Clap clap clap, great, improvement is huge."

"Hehehe."

Shang Hongxue smiled showing her teeth, having received praise from Chuyang big brother, making her happier than any reward.

These days of hard training were not in vain.

She finally let Chuyang big brother see the results of her cultivation; inside she was ecstatic.

"As expected of Hongxue, you're impressive; the Azure Sparrow Sword Technique has already been entered, your sword talent is not bad, much stronger than my older brother."

Chen Chusheng: "..." Why is it always me who gets hurt?

When did I also become a unit of measurement?

"Not at all, I'm still weak, I can't compare to Chusheng big brother."

One should still be modest; Shang Hongxue modestly lowered herself a bit.

Chen Chuyang nodded satisfied; this girl had no arrogance, nor did she become haughty because of it.

"This attitude is excellent; in the future you can certainly become a generation's sword immortal."

"No, Chuyang big brother, don't praise me anymore, I'm going to get arrogant."

"You should be proud; in such a short time you've already entered the door and gained your own insight into sword technique."

Indeed, Shang Hongxue's talent is still not bad; before, it was just her body holding her back.

The first layer of the Cultivation's seal has opened; from now on she won't be held back by her body, but will instead rise because of it.

The benefits of her body, she will gradually feel.

For the past dozen years she suffered losses; from now on, she will soar straight up.

The special physique of the Cultivation, its enhancement for Shang Hongxue is enormous; older brother, in front of her, could be crushed to dust.

Shang Hongxue's talent is truly the strongest in Longshe Cheng.

Chen Chuyang isn't just randomly praising her; he's sincere.

This talent is only slightly inferior to his.

"Come, Chuyang big brother, give me a hug."

"Someone is watching."

"Saying there's someone watching with his mouth, but his body is honest."

Chen Chuyang hugged the little girl; this girl is very obedient and sensible.

Liu Yuer and Zhang Nongqian, who had gotten up, saw this scene; Liu Yuer hurriedly pulled her daughter down the mountain to work, not letting her daughter disturb their two-person world.

Zhang Nongqian was naturally unwilling, and was finally dragged away.

After two hours.

At the foot of Longshe Shan, a familiar person arrived.

Shang Yingnian personally came to Longshe Shan; when Chen Chuyang saw him, he froze for a moment.

He said to the little girl practicing her sword: "Your father has come to pick you up."

Shang Hongxue heard it, her sword practice paused for a moment, she let out an 'oh', didn't mind, and continued practicing.

This girl is too calm.

He activated the formation to let his future father-in-law come up the mountain; this time he came alone.

He brought no one else, and lacked his previous arrogant demeanor, instead arriving with a smile.

At first glance, he saw the baby daughter practicing her sword; her movements were becoming ever more formidable.

After just a few glances, Shang Yingnian felt something different; the girl before him had become very strange, her swordsmanship, or rather her movements, carried a special charm that was hard to describe.

"What is this?"

After looking for a while, Shang Yingnian couldn't see any clues, so he turned to Chen Chuyang.

Chen Chuyang explained: "Hongxue has broken through."

A few words said much; regarding Hongxue's special constitution, Chen Chuyang chose not to tell this Lord of Mount Tai.

The fewer people who know about this, the better.

The Cultivation must not be exposed; Chen Chuyang also placed some seals on Shang Hongxue to block her special aura, which is still adapting today; after a bit more adaptation, he could fully control it, then restrain it so no one could detect it.

The Cultivation's influence is too great; if those factions learned of it, it would cause trouble.

Especially the Yin Gui Sect; if they knew, they would surely stop at nothing to destroy it.

"He has broken through, like this."

Wait.

Broken through?

Why is it so... peculiar.

"What is Hongxue's current cultivation level?"

"Qi Seed First Heaven."
