Chapter 121

Time flies like an arrow, passing in a flash.

Soon it was noon.

Mo Shukuang’s lecture also ended.

It must be said that Mo Shukuang’s attainment in the sword path was very high, and much of what he said was the true essence of the sword path.

But as mentioned before.

As a possessor of sword intent, Meng Zhangqing had already seen too, too much relevant content during the fusion process.

It was like a rolling river of sword path flowing east, and he was placed in it, intercepting a part of it.

Turning it into the embryonic form of sword intent.

Because of this, Mo Shukuang’s sword path could not provide him with much help.

However, everyone’s sword path is ultimately different.

By studying and comprehending it, there would still be some improvement.

In addition.

Meng Zhangqing could not be sure if this was Mo Shukuang’s true attainment; after all, he even hid his cultivation, so it was not impossible for his sword path attainment to be hidden too.

"Lan Chan, take Meng Zhangqing to the place of cultivation, and by the way, take him around Lingxiao Peak."

Mo Shukuang said gently.

"Yes."

Lan Chan bowed and then looked at Meng Zhangqing, "Junior Brother Meng, please follow me."

"Okay."

Meng Zhangqing nodded.

He also bowed to Mo Shukuang.

Only then did he and Lan Chan leave together.

――

"This kid, did he understand my Dao, or is his heart not here?"

After many disciples left one by one, Mo Shukuang’s eyes narrowed slightly.

During this lecture, his attention was naturally mostly on Meng Zhangqing.

Under his observation, although Meng Zhangqing’s expression was serious, his eyes were not very focused.

It was as if he wasn't very interested.

"Interesting."

Mo Shukuang didn't think much about it.

After all, a monster who could comprehend sword momentum at the Pulse Forging realm could not be judged by common sense.

Perhaps what he lectured, the other had already comprehended.

"Master, can I not go to the Divine Light Hall anymore? That broken sword has a worse temper than me—no, my temper isn't bad, it's the sword that's bad!"

"I don't want to see it anymore."

Mo Xiaoyu said with a pout.

"Are you sure?"

Mo Shukuang said with a smile, "That is one of the ten famous blades forged by the Duan family of the Divine Sharp Sea, born with spiritual perception, and has the possibility of entering the Dao and becoming a saint in the future."

"Since it was seized by our peak’s ancestors, it has been suppressed here, waiting for future generations."

"Ten famous blades, huh."

Mo Xiaoyu was instantly tempted again.

The name sounded very powerful.

"Okay, then I'll go keep it company and talk to it again."

Mo Xiaoyu said reluctantly, "But Master, why don't you go?"

Hearing this.

Mo Shukuang’s expression was slightly awkward.

It seemed there were memories he didn't want to recall.

[Redacted]

"Don't ask about adult matters."

Mo Shukuang feigned anger.

"Fine, you fierce, bad Master, bleh~"

Mo Xiaoyu pouted unhappily, then stuck out her tongue and ran out.

Mo Shukuang couldn't help but laugh.

At this age, being able to receive such a disciple is indeed a blessing in life.

Just thinking of that sword.

He couldn't help but curse: "What a broken sword, so what if I'm a bit old? It still likes young ones."

――

"Junior Brother Meng, your name has actually been circulating here for a long time."

"At the beginning, Master would mention it several times a day."

"He even wanted to take you as a disciple."

"But later, for some reason, he suddenly stopped talking about it."

Lan Chan walked with Meng Zhangqing in the corridor.

"Oh? Does Senior Brother Lan know why?"

Meng Zhangqing immediately asked.

This was also something he had been curious about for a long time.

"I don't know either; Master wouldn't tell us the details about such things."

Lan Chan said without apology, "But there must be a better arrangement."

"A better arrangement, huh."

Meng Zhangqing raised his eyebrows slightly.

He remembered the Pavilion Guarding Elder also saying something similar.

But what is a better arrangement?

In the sect, could there be better treatment than being taken as a disciple by a Peak Master?

Above the Peak Master, that is the Sect Master.

But the Sect Master Peak does not cultivate the sword path, which is completely contrary to him.

Forget it.

Meng Zhangqing didn't think much about it.

Anyway, as his strength improved, he felt he was getting closer to the truth.

"There is less than a month left until the Three Sects Martial Arts Tournament; next, Junior Brother Meng can just live here, and if you need anything, just tell me."

"No need to be restrained."

"Actually, compared to the superior-subordinate relationship between fellow disciples, I prefer the unrestrained nature of friends."

"If possible, Junior Brother Meng can treat me as a friend."

Lan Chan said with a smile.

He knew very well the weight of Meng Zhangqing in Master’s eyes, which was definitely not lower than him, the true senior brother, and was likely on the same level as Junior Sister Mo Xiaoyu.

So building a good relationship was important.

"Ding!"

"Lan Chan has sent you a friend request."

"Do you accept?"

The system’s voice rang in his mind.

Meng Zhangqing was stunned for a moment.

Good guy, he was still thinking about how to add him as a friend, but Lan Chan had delivered himself to his door and fed it to his mouth.

It was truly an unexpected joy.

It’s just that this scene seemed a bit familiar, as if it had happened somewhere before.

"What Senior Brother Lan said is also what I think in my heart."

Meng Zhangqing immediately showed a sincere smile, "I also prefer the way friends get along."

"Then from now on, we will treat each other as friends."

"Ding!"

"Friend added successfully!"

"Current favorability: One Star!"

"Obtained attribute: First-Grade Root Bone!"

"Triggered extra reward: Attribute Selection Card *3!"

Hearing this.

[Redacted]

The smile on Meng Zhangqing’s face became even more sincere!

Luck is not bad.

Directly obtained the attribute he wanted most.

First-Grade Root Bone.

This is the best root bone quality he knows of so far.

The terror of its cultivation speed can be seen from Mo Xiaoyu’s situation.

In addition, an extra reward was triggered, a full three attribute selection cards!

It’s a pity it’s not an acquisition card.

But it’s also very good.

At least for the next friendship, he can choose independently without relying purely on luck.

Looking at Meng Zhangqing’s sincere smile, the smile on Lan Chan’s face became even brighter, and he nodded in his heart; he is a simple and pure junior brother, and should be very easy to get along with in the future.

"Then that’s it for today, I live not far away,"

Lan Chan pointed in the direction, "If you have anything, just come find me."

"Okay, then I might have to bother you a lot, Senior Brother."

Meng Zhangqing replied.

"Junior Brother Meng is too polite, please come often."

Lan Chan smiled, then turned and left.
