Chapter 662

She began walking toward the entrance of the Sichengong Sect, but halfway there,

Xing saw Miss Yunli standing aside and walked over without hesitation.

【This trip was worth it.】

【Compared to Zhuming, Luo Fu is far more lively.】

【Pity, as for sword art, the swordsmen of Luo Fu seem rather weak...】

As Xing drew closer, she heard Miss Yunli muttering to herself.

【Hello, Miss Yunli.】

Seeing Miss Yunli's back turned to her, Xing spoke up in greeting.

【Hello, are you here as a contestant for the Yanwu Ceremony?】

Miss Yunli turned around, saw it was Xing, and asked curiously.

【Can outsiders participate in the Yanwu Ceremony?】

Hearing Miss Yunli's words, Xing immediately asked in return.

【Of course. To demonstrate Wu De, the Yunqi's fighting platforms have always welcomed challenges from outsiders.】

【If you can defeat the chosen defender of Luofu Xianzhou, you not only win prize money and rewards, but also gain fame and glory.】

【How about it? Are you tempted?】

Paimon: "Win prize money and rewards, and gain fame and glory!"

Paimon: "Xing, did you hear that?"

Paimon: "I bet if we were on the Luofu Xianzhou, we'd sign up for the Yanwu Ceremony without a second thought!"

Xing: "Uh, Paimon, I don't think you'd sign up."

Xing: "Only I would sign up..."

Paimon: "Hehe, of course I'll be cheering for you from the sidelines!"

Hu Tao: "I didn't expect outsiders could join the Yanwu Ceremony."

Hu Tao: "I thought only members of the Xianzhoulian Alliance could participate!"

Hu Tao: "If that's the case, this Yanwu Ceremony might attract all kinds of experts!"

Miss Sushang: "Of course."

Miss Sushang: "As long as you have the strength, you can step onto this grand stage!"

Silver Wolf: "Such a perfect chance to show off, Xing—why don't you go perform?"

Xing: "No thanks. Experts like me are already recognized."

Xing: "Who doesn't know the fame of my Galaxy Baseball Bat Hero?"

Xing: "Participating in such events would lower my prestige."

Xing: "Besides, knocking opponents down with three or two swings is just boring."

Xing: "And most importantly!"

Xing: "Who is the final defender?"

Xing: "It's Hearing Yanqing!"

Xing: "Who am I?"

Xing: "I'm Yanqing's teacher!"

Xing: "Wouldn't that be bullying a student by having the teacher fight them?"

Liuying: "Mm-hmm, that's logical and convincing!"

Silver Wolf: "Cough... you're good at showing off."

Hearing Yanqing: "Teacher has endured many storms; his strength and vision truly inspire me."

Hearing Yanqing: "So I 620 believe Teacher's words are entirely reasonable."

March 7th: "Tsk, you're such a straightforward kid."

March 7th: "You've flattered Xing so much his tail is practically sticking up to the sky!"

Xing: "Nonsense!"

Xing: "I don't have a tail!"

The video continues.

【I didn't feel tempted.】

【By the way, what did General Jing Yuan mean by 'Yanlun Baye'?】

Xing asked another intriguing question.

【That's what outsiders call my senior brothers and sisters in the Zhuming Yunqi Army and the Gongzao Bureau.】

【All of us studied craftsmanship and sword art under Grandpa's tutelage.】

【So that's why outsiders use this term?】

【Don't you ever mention it in front of Grandpa.】

【Grandpa says empty fame harms people and only invites needless challenges and disputes.】

【Zhuming swordsmen take pride only in the army's overall victory, not in individual triumphs.】

General Jing Yuan: "It's truly Master Yan who saw through these worldly illusions long ago."

General Huaiyan: "Heh, I'd say you're no different!"

Xing: "Generals, you truly possess noble integrity."

Xing: "I'm different—I get restless if I don't show off for a day!"

General Feixiao: "So what's wrong with showing off?"

General Feixiao: "Young people, after all!"

General Feixiao: "If you don't show off, what's even the point of living?"

Stelle: "Oh wow, General Feixiao really does get me!"

Stelle: "If the two of us got together, we'd definitely become soulmates!"

The video continued.

【Your grandfather was right.】

【By the way, aren't you coming with us?】

Stelle asked.

【I still have my own matters to attend to.】

【Besides, young Hearing Yanqing doesn't seem too happy about it.】

Miss Yunli said, curling her lip.

【He really shouldn't have called you a thief.】

【But you did actually take his sword away...】

Stelle added a line.

【You're not wrong. Clearly I took it fair and square by my own ability; even calling it a snatch would do, so how could he lump me together with petty pickpockets?】

【Besides, this sword now fears its master a little.】

【I'd like to turn the question back on him — he claims to cherish his sword as his life, yet he can't even recognize what state the sword in his own hand is in now.】

【I hadn't originally intended to keep his sword. I was thinking of using this chance to return it to him, but now I've changed my mind.】

【I see the flying sword is pitiful, so I'm planning to go give it some maintenance later.】

【Until then, unless he learns to say please, hello, thank you, and sorry, I won't consider returning the sword to him.】

【For now, forget it!】

Having said that, Miss Yunli shook her head and walked off on her own.

March 7th: "Hehe, looks like Hearing Yanqing is going to have a hard time getting this sword back."

Stelle: "I deeply sympathize with Hearing Yanqing!"

Stelle: "Hope Hearing Yanqing can hold up."

Hearing Yanqing: "Despicable, threatening the owner with his own sword?"

Hearing Yanqing: "What kind of heroic act is that?"

Hearing Yanqing: "Truly shameless!"
