Chapter 63: Little Sister-in-Law Wants to Learn Sword?

The Green Snake danced, and the Technique shredded the ghost Qi.

When the ghost Qi dissipated, Feng Buchen's body fell to the ground, neatly split in two, taking his soul with it; that layer of protective ghost Qi, truly fierce, also shattered under this sword.

His shattered remains scattered his organs across the ground, with blood continuously flowing out.

Chen Chuyang walked over, searched for his storage bag, felt around once, found it, put it away, and set it ablaze with a fire.

The ground fire burned, and in no time Feng Buchen's corpse turned to ash, a blackened patch on the ground; Chen Chuyang then buried his ashes and cleaned up everything nearby, covering any trace of his presence.

Having finished, Chen Chuyang nodded with satisfaction, "All right, no trace left; now no one will find out it was my hand."

"Still, be more careful; we can't let the Yin Gui Sect people take notice, that would be bad."

He checked several more times, tidied up any oversights, ensuring nothing remained at the scene; only then did Chen Chuyang pat himself satisfied. Such matters cannot be sloppy or careless; any needed check must be done.

Chen Churan stared in shock at the scene; that brother had changed so much—one second irresistibly handsome, that sword had dazzled her.

At least for the next ten years, her mind will be occupied by that sword; so the Green Snake Sword Method is that powerful, and can be used this way—she had greatly underestimated her own sword method and… ignored its essence.

Second brother's appearance saved her; the Feng Buchen who had crushed her couldn't even block a single move—one encounter, and he was instantly killed.

Compared to herself, he was far superior.

Chen Churan regained some spirit and stood up.

"Thank you, second brother."

She bowed, clasped her hands, and expressed gratitude.

This "second brother" sounded more sincere and respectful than ever before.

Chen Chuyang handed the sword back to her, reminding, "Don't wander around anymore; it's dangerous out there."

"The Yin Gui Sect's little mice hide in the shadows and could strike at any moment; you're too weak. If you can stay in Longshe Cheng, don't leave; better yet, return to the Spirit Sword Sect with your master as soon as possible."

Having said that, Xu Junbai waved his hand and left.

Chen Churan, looking bewildered, held the Clear Heart Sword, which still bore her brother's lingering warmth.

Chen Churan felt a warmth in her heart; this brother's tongue is sharp, but his heart still holds his own.

In desperation she asked many people, and only second brother responded.

"How did second brother know I was in danger?"

Chen Churan looked toward her brother's departing direction and muttered.

"Second brother, I'll work hard on my sword, I'll surpass you."

Clenching the Clear Heart Sword, Chen Churan swore she would definitely surpass her brother.

Brother Chen Chuyang became her goal—to surpass him.

Outside Longshe Cheng.

Elder Xinran felt an ominous premonition and sprinted out of the city.

As a swordsman, once she had this thought, she knew her disciple was in trouble.

Inside Longshe Cheng, the only person connected to her was this disciple.

"Churan, wait, Master is on the way."

"Don't die, Master is coming."

Elder Xinran sprinted a distance, sensing her disciple's aura.

She immediately changed direction and finally saw her disciple hurrying back.

"Churan."

"Master?"

Chen Churan stared in shock at the anxious master and ran toward him.

"Master, you…"

Before she could finish, Elder Xinran anxiously asked, "Churan, you weren't in danger?"

Then she examined her disciple and found a lingering ghost Qi on his body.

That ghost Qi made her very disgusted.

"Did you encounter the Yin Gui Sect's mouse?"

"Hmm." Chen Churan nodded, "Master, the disciple was ambushed and almost didn't see you."

Elder Xinran listened to her disciple, and when she heard it was Chen Chuyang who saved her, she frowned.

Chen Churan omitted many details, including the sword technique sparring and second brother's sword that slashed Feng Buchen of the Yin Gui Sect; she only said second brother killed Feng Buchen, keeping the specifics hidden.

Elder Xinran frowned, "Didn't you say your second brother's strength wasn't much? He stepped in to save you?"

Regarding Chen Chuyang, Elder Xinran knew a bit and thought he wasn't much.

In all aspects he was mediocre; the more famous people in Longshe Cheng weren't renowned for genius but were ordinary.

A completely ordinary person, yet he could slay the Yin Gui Sect's mouse?

Although she didn't think much of the Yin Gui Sect's little mice, Elder Xinran knew their strength was strange; they weren't something Chen Chuyang, a small‑town person, could kill, let alone an ordinary man.

"It's second brother; he's strong."

Chen Churan changed her mind.

When she said "very strong," Elder Xinran didn't believe it.

"Explain specifically."

Chen Churan said more, and when Elder Xinran heard that Chen Chuyang almost instantly killed Feng Buchen, her eyebrows lifted.

"Instant kill?"

"Hmm."

"Interesting, it seems your second brother is a bit more formidable than I thought; I'd really like to meet him."

"Eh?"

Chen Churan raised their head, looking at the master; the master had this idea, indicating she was truly interested.

"Master, aren't we supposed to go back?"

"Don't rush; next time, take me to meet your second older brother."

"Master, my second older brother..."

Chen Churan met the master's gaze, leaving no room for doubt.

"All right, disciple understands."

Elder Xinran then revealed a smile.

"That's right; as your master, I won't harm your second older brother. I'm just curious—someone like him in Longshe City is completely wasted. If he can, I can bring him back to the Spirit Sword Sect."

"If the prospect is promising, Elder Xinran doesn't mind taking on another disciple."

"It would be nice to have a companion for my own disciple."

"In the future, they could also support each other."

Chen Churan, hearing this, exclaimed excitedly, "Thank you, Master!"

Elder Xinran waved a hand: "Everything must wait until I, as your master, have met him before we can speak further."

"Yes."

……

On Longshe Shan.

Shang Hongxue waited for Chuyang older brother to return, then excitedly went to greet him.

"Chuyang older brother, did something happen to Churan?"

Chen Chuyang nodded: "We encountered a little rat from the Yin Gui Sect."

"Ah?" Shang Hongxue's face changed; she worriedly asked, "Chuyang older brother, is Churan alright?"

"It's fine; the Yin Gui Sect's little rat was too cunning, actually ambushing Churan. Fortunately I arrived quickly, otherwise he would have really succeeded."

Chen Chuyang stroked Shang Hongxue's silky hair and instructed, "You don't need to go back today; outside, it's very dangerous."

"Mm." Shang Hongxue raised her head, gave a toothy smile: "I'll listen to Chuyang older brother."

Chen Churan was fine; she let out a sigh of relief.

I wouldn't want to see this little sister-in-law come to harm; if that happened, Chuyang older brother would surely be heartbroken.

The Yin Gui Sect people have become so arrogant; Shang Hongxue couldn't help but worry. In terms of strength, she is far inferior to Chen Churan; if she encountered Yin Gui Sect people, she would probably… have no power to resist.

"Chuyang older brother, can I learn swordsmanship from you?"

"Oh?" Chen Chuyang asked with a smile, "Why do you want to learn the sword?"

Shang Hongxue pondered for a moment, gritted her teeth and replied, "I want to become stronger; I want to protect Chuyang older brother."

Clenching her fists, she shouted loudly, voicing her inner thoughts.

She didn't want to be protected by Chuyang older brother her whole life; she wanted to become strong and stand before Chuyang older brother.

"Good, I'll teach you."

"Thank you, Chuyang older brother."

"In the future, just wait for my Hongxue to become a Strong One and protect me."

"All right." Shang Hongxue's face turned red; the four words "my Hongxue" kept echoing in her mind.

Over and over, she grew more shy.
