Chapter 150: Speak with the blade?

~12 min read 2,295 words

Why not kneel?

What a joke!

In front of Master Xianyang, I sit cross-legged every single day!

Did I run all this way just to kneel to your Lord Bei Feng?

"I have a god, I cannot kneel." Lu Ran said in a deep voice.

"Oh?" The young man dressed in white sportswear looked suspicious, his eyes sweeping over the twin blades in Lu Ran's arms. "You are not a disciple under Master Lord Bei Feng?"

Lu Ran shook his head.

It had to be admitted that Lu Ran did indeed look the part, full of style.

First were the two Tang Daos in Lu Ran's arms.

They had been nourished by the blood of countless evil spirits on the battlefield.

Coupled with the fact that Lu Ran's own temperament couldn't be faked, he was completely worthy of the title "Blade Guest."

Throwing him into a group of Lord Bei Feng believers was indeed extremely deceptive!

"Hmph." The young man in white sportswear snorted coldly. "You'd better not be, lest we enforce the sect rules."

"Are you sick?" Si Xianxian was unhappy. "Who would tell such a lie?"

The young man in white ignored Si Xianxian and continued to look at Lu Ran: "You are not a believer of the Lord Bei Feng Sect, that's fine.

But shouldn't you have the proper etiquette?

You came to our Lord Bei Feng City, facing the god of our sect, can you not bow your head, can you not bow?"

"You..." Si Xianxian still wanted to speak, but Lu Ran gripped her shoulder heavily.

Lu Ran was expressionless: "Everyone has a different way of paying respects to a god.

I am admiring the style of Lord Lord Bei Feng, and I consider myself respectful enough; what wrong have I committed?"

"Consider yourself respectful enough?" The young man in white looked unkind, genuinely believing that this teenager was disrespectful to Lord Bei Feng. "You were making noise outside the city gate.

You consider yourself respectful enough?"

Lu Ran pursed his lips.

Your Lord Bei Feng Sect's rules are indeed a bit strict, huh?

If you were to say that inside the city, if I encountered a great hall or something, and wasn't allowed to speak, that would be one thing.

At this crowded city gate, I can't even call out to a friend?

"Let's go." Lu Ran gripped Si Xianxian's shoulder and took her toward the city gate.

Some things were indeed quite difficult for Lu Ran to do.

For example, true, heartfelt respect, and for another, bowing his head.

"Where are you going?" The young man in white frowned.

Lu Ran turned his head to look back, his eyes uncharacteristically gloomy: "What, I'm not even allowed to leave?"

The young man in white: "Did you make yourself clear?"

"Do I need to make it clear?" Lu Ran looked directly at the other party, really unable to hold back anymore. "Or, do you want to use your blade to make it clear?"

"Ah??" The young man in white was shocked!

For a moment, he was actually stunned on the spot.

He never expected that this teenager would be so fierce!

You have to know, this was Lord Bei Feng Sect territory.

And this teenager actually said to a city gate guard, use your blade to make it clear?

Putting aside the territory, the guards, and so on, could there actually be someone in this world who dared to say to a Lord Bei Feng believer, speak with your blade?!

No! How did this guy dare to do that?

"Damn, that's so cool..." Si Xianxian muttered.

She looked at Lu Ran's profile, and felt comfortable inside~

She had been held by the shoulder by Lu Ran the whole time; let alone acting out, she wasn't even allowed to speak.

As a result...

You kid didn't let me speak, but you didn't hold back yourself!

Seeing the other party not take the bait, Lu Ran snorted and continued to walk toward the city gate:

"If I'm not welcome, I'll just leave."

The young man in white's expression stiffened, and he recovered from his astonishment: "When did we say you weren't welcome?

I was telling you to follow the rules here!"

"What are you shouting about?" Another voice came, deep and thick.

The young man's face turned livid, and he immediately shut his mouth.

Lu Ran turned his head to look and saw a middle-aged man also dressed in simple, ancient clothing and wearing white sportswear.

It seemed that the attire of the Lord Bei Feng believers in the city was mostly the same.

The man looked at Lu Ran with a serious expression: "Regardless of whether you are a believer under another god or an ordinary person, Lord Bei Feng City welcomes everyone to come and worship the god."

Lu Ran's palm was still pressed on Si Xianxian's shoulder, gripping it again and again.

The meaning was obvious: don't let this powder keg speak.

Si Xianxian indeed hadn't felt comfortable for long; after hearing the young man in white's words, her anger flared up again!

However, her body was very honest; under Lu Ran's hand, she could only stomp her feet fiercely.

The man clearly saw the girl's dissatisfaction and asked: "Why did you come here?"

Lu Ran: "To see the world, and to train in the Demon Cave."

The man nodded: "The two of you must remember to abide by the various regulations in the city; please."

"Hmph." Si Xianxian glared at the young man in white in the distance, and only then did she drag Lu Ran into the city.

After walking only a few steps, she started cursing: "That guy is simply sick, he's purely looking for trouble."

Lu Ran: "We came to someone else's territory, we follow their rules; nothing wrong with that."

As for whether the rules themselves were reasonable, that was another matter.

Si Xianxian said disdainfully: "What's the harm in shouting once?

That guy just saw there were many people around, and finally caught someone loud, wanting to show off his power!

And this is at his own front door, so he felt even more confident!

I've seen plenty of cowards like this."

"Alright." Lu Ran patted Si Xianxian's shoulder. "We're in, and they didn't force me to bow my head or bow."

Si Xianxian said angrily: "Either he misjudged your identity, and with so many people watching, he couldn't back down, so he looked for trouble!"

"Alright, alright."

"You're like a clay bodhisattva, you don't have any temper at all... hmm, that's not right either." Si Xianxian turned to look at Lu Ran.

She suddenly raised her elbow and rested it happily on Lu Ran's shoulder.

Lu Ran looked vigilant: "What are you doing?"

Si Xianxian's mouth curled up: "You were kind of cool when you retorted to him just now?"

Lu Ran was silent, holding his twin blades, walking on the ancient-style street.

"Haha~" Si Xianxian's giggling was very unbridled. "Next time you encounter this situation, I allow you to add a few dirty words."

Lu Ran: "..."

This big girl, her emotional switching is too fast, right?

If this goes on, will she really not get sick?

Hmm... alright, she was already a patient to begin with.

Poisoned by the gods.

The disease is called Lietian.

"Believe your Sister Xian." Si Xianxian said with certainty. "Adding a few dirty words makes it more imposing!"

Lu Ran suddenly turned his head to look at the street on his right.

The street was bustling with people and extremely lively.

Since it was called Lord Bei Feng "City," the scale was naturally very large.

Lu Ran exerted his vision to the limit and saw the ancient-style commercial street, with inns and wine shops all available.

"Right, I checked online when I came, there's a commercial street here." Si Xianxian muttered, stepping inside. "How could it be quiet?"

"Do you want to eat candied haws?" Lu Ran suddenly said.

"Hmm?" Si Xianxian was staring at a wine shop, and suddenly hearing Lu Ran's words, she was a bit surprised.

"I'll buy you some." Lu Ran gestured toward a vendor in the distance.

"Heh." Si Xianxian gave a light laugh. "Not bad, Sister Xian didn't dote on you for nothing."

"Eating something sweet will make you feel better." Lu Ran said, stepping over.

In his heart, he was secretly complaining: You really do give me a headache.

A headache~

Then, Lu Ran spent a full 25 yuan to buy a hawthorn candied haw.

At this moment, Lu Ran not only had a headache, but his heart also ached a little.

As expected of a city at the feet of a god, under the Lord Bei Feng Sect, they really know how to make money!

Thinking about it, maintaining this city must cost a lot of funds.

The two walked east and west, having a real feeling of traveling through ancient times.

As for going deep inside to worship at the feet of the god, neither of them had any interest.

It was estimated that after shopping outside, they would head straight to the Demon Cave.

"Go forward, turn right." At an intersection, Si Xianxian looked up at the road sign. "Martial Arts Arena."

"You want to go see it?" Lu Ran was quite tempted.

Si Xianxian looked at Lu Ran: "We didn't go to Chang'an, didn't go to Buddha-Light, but ran into this ice and snow.

It was all for you, this blade guest!

Watch the Lord Bei Feng believers practice martial arts; maybe you can steal a move or two?"

Lu Ran gestured toward the corner of her mouth: "Sugar."

"Hmm." Si Xianxian stuck out her tongue and licked the corner of her lip.

Immediately, she revealed a sweet smile.

Lu Ran was right; eating something sweet really makes people happy.

Seeing this scene, Lu Ran also secretly laughed; from this perspective, those 25 yuan were well spent.

The two had been shopping in the city for a long time; Si Xianxian had long finished the candied haws and was still savoring the aftertaste.

Now, she was suddenly told that there were still bits of sugar residue left at the corner of her mouth...

It was simply an unexpected joy!

"Let's go!" Si Xianxian took the lead.

"Go, that's fine, but you can't fight with people." Lu Ran followed quickly.

"Not even a sparring match?" Since Si Xianxian had just finished eating something sweet, her attitude was quite good.

"No."

"Why not?" Si Xianxian looked like she had no self-awareness.

"I'm afraid you'll kill someone." Lu Ran's eyes were gloomy, his words gloomy.

Si Xianxian: "..."

This, indeed, could not be refuted.

Sometimes, Si Xianxian was quite afraid of herself.

The two walked all the way to the northeast of Lord Bei Feng City; after leaving the bustling atmosphere of the commercial area, the surrounding atmosphere was significantly more solemn.

From far away, Lu Ran heard shouts, as well as the crisp sound of blades clashing.

The sky was still snowing lightly, drifting down, with cold winds blowing from time to time.

The martial arts arena side, however, was bustling with activity and noise.

"Getting a feel for it!" Si Xianxian's eyes brightened.

The martial arts arena was quite large.

In the center of the field, a group of men and women dressed in white sportswear were collectively practicing blade techniques.

They were very serious and didn't mind people around them watching and learning.

In fact, Lord Bei Feng believers who came from all over the country for a pilgrimage, besides worshipping the god, would mostly come to the martial arts arena to ask for advice from this group of "inner sect disciples."

It wasn't to say that the believers living in Lord Bei Feng City had a high status.

But it could not be denied that they were more easily guided by the god, Lord Bei Feng.

And under the god's instruction, this group of Lord Bei Feng believers qualified to live in the city shouldered the responsibility of teaching blade techniques.

Any Lord Bei Feng believer who came here only needed to reveal their identity, and there would be believers in the city to teach them for free.

If you were a believer of another god...

The Lord Bei Feng Sect was quite generous and wouldn't drive people away, but they wouldn't teach one-on-one.

If you want to learn, just be quiet and learn by yourself on the side.

"Go, go, go, let's go see that side first!" Si Xianxian became more and more excited, pointing to a small forest not far away.

The central field was surrounded by forest on three sides; in the snow forest, there were individual sparring grounds.

And the sparring grounds over there were surrounded by water-tight crowds!

Clearly, more people still liked watching fights...

"Slow down, slow down." Lu Ran was dragged by Si Xianxian and plunged into the small forest.

In the nearest training ground, two Lord Bei Feng believers were fighting with excitement.

Their bodies were covered in water-flow armor, and the blades in their hands flashed with cold light.

From time to time, wild winds rose, blowing the trees to sway and frost and snow to dance wildly.

"Whoa~" Lu Ran soon became engrossed.

The man and woman on the field were one more ruthless than the other, their attacks incomparably sharp; it was truly move after move to kill, stabbing straight at vital points!

Yes,

Too right!

Only by having such momentum could one truly kill and repel evil spirits!

Lu Ran was watching with fascination when suddenly an angry voice came from behind him:

"You just told me you wanted to speak with your blade?"
