Chapter 18

"Senior Master Master Jian Sheng, this is Tiangang's child, Li Hao."

Taking advantage of the gap while the maid went to call Bian Ruxue, He Jianlan introduced to the white-haired old man beside her: "Speaking of Hao'er's name, it was bestowed by Emperor Da Yu. Take a look at how this child is?"

Mentioning Emperor Da Yu, the white-haired old man glanced at this woman, immediately knowing her little thoughts, feeling somewhat displeased in his heart, but didn't say anything, and began to size up the child before him.

Li Hao was also looking up at the other party.

Hearing the eldest aunt's address to the old man, he was somewhat surprised in his heart, understanding why Uncle Fu's reaction was so great.

Previously, when searching for chess manuals in the Listening Rain Tower, he had also flipped through some interesting anecdotes and deeds of big shots in the Jianghu.

And among the Jianghu figures recorded in the last hundred years, there were only three people known as Sword Saints.

One resided in the Southern Sword Hut, one lived in seclusion in the Yellow Sand Green Lake of the Northern Desert, and another was a dragon that saw its head but not its tail.

These three were all proficient in sword, shocked the world with sword, and were honored as Sword Saints.

Which of the three Sword Saints was stronger or weaker was also a topic that people who loved to argue had been debating endlessly for the last hundred years.

And that third uncle of his had extremely high sword talent, splitting half of the Jianghu and Demon Forest of Jingzhou with one sword, yet still couldn't be conferred the title of Master Master Jian Sheng, which showed how terrifying the strength of this old man before him was.

I wonder, which of the three is he? The eyes of the old and the young collided. Li Hao immediately saw from the old man's eyes the sword intent that was hidden extremely deep, condensed like the sea and the abyss.

But this sword intent was covered under the pitch-black and calm eyes. If he didn't have the sword understanding of the second stage of Sword Dao, he wouldn't have been able to pry into it.

"I heard that Tiangang's child failed Foundation Establishment and Blood Melting, and has no martial arts talent?"

Jian Wudao looked indifferently at the child at his feet. The Qilin child of the Divine General Mansion was an extremely noble existence in the eyes of the world, second only to the Imperial Prince, but in his eyes, it didn't count for much, and there was no need to cater to a child.

He Jianlan's face looked somewhat stiff, and she nodded slightly.

"That's right, so I want Senior Master Master Jian Sheng to take a look and see if this child has the talent to practice sword? If he can practice body and sword in the future, it can be considered serving the country and guarding one side for Da Yu."

Mentioning the word 'guard', Jian Wudao's eyes moved slightly, and his gaze immediately softened a bit.

With his status, as long as the older generation of the Li Clan didn't come out, he didn't need to care about the thoughts of these second generation and juniors.

But the great achievements of the Li Clan for thousands of years were truly worthy of respect, especially in the last few decades, when there were occasional wars at the border, and six of the nine sons of the Li Clan died on the battlefield. Just this point alone was enough to make people respect them! "Let's take a look together in a while." Jian Wudao said calmly.

He Jianlan was happy and nodded.

Soon, Bian Ruxue was brought before everyone by Xuejian. The little girl looked at the crowd of adults and was clearly somewhat nervous.

She habitually stood behind Li Hao, using Li Hao to block half of her body.

She had seen such a scene before; that was when Li Hao was undergoing Foundation Establishment and bone measurement, only later, the gazes of these adults made her feel sad.

"Senior Master Master Jian Sheng, this is the sword Dao prodigy that I let Bai Jing mention to you."

After Bian Ruxue came over, the old man in the army beside him stepped forward and said respectfully.

Jian Wudao nodded slightly. He was able to come mainly because his third disciple had been tirelessly requesting, describing the little girl of the Divine General Mansion as miraculous, and he also had a heart for loving talent, so he left the Sword Hut and took a trip to this prosperous world.

"Level Ten Tongli Realm, perfection, abundant bones, not bad."

Jian Wudao saw the little girl's cultivation realm at a glance, and a look of satisfaction appeared in his eyes. Hearing that she was a Ninth-Grade Battle Body, belonging to top-notch aptitude, he didn't need to worry about her cultivation in the future.

"Little girl, use your most proficient sword technique and demonstrate it to me once." Jian Wudao said.

Bian Ruxue looked at this strange and quite majestic old man, somewhat nervous, and subconsciously looked at Li Hao.

Li Hao understood that it was Xue'er's opportunity, so he immediately smiled and pushed her forward, saying: "Don't be afraid, don't be nervous, I'm here beside you."

With Li Hao's encouragement, Bian Ruxue's timidity dissipated a lot, and she nodded. The little girl immediately walked to the side. Without He Jianlan's signal, the others consciously and obediently made space for this little girl.

Soon, Bian Ruxue's sword technique was wielded, like snow and waterfall, her posture as light as a startled swan, her sword technique skillful and nimble, and there was a bit of the charm of returning to simplicity. This charm was immediately captured by Jian Wudao, who had been immersed in Sword Dao for nearly a hundred years. The old man's sharp, narrow, and sword-blade-like eyes suddenly widened a bit, and a joy that couldn't be hidden appeared in his eyes.

This was more than just having sword talent; it was simply a sword Dao prodigy rarely seen in a hundred years! At this age, being able to practice a Supreme Grade sword technique to the level of perfection was enough to rival his most outstanding disciple, not to mention that there was now a bit of Ultimate charm.

A peerless good seedling for practicing sword! "Hahaha..." Jian Wudao couldn't help but laugh out loud, his hearty voice shaking the withered leaves on the trees beside him until they rustled down.

Worth it, so worth it!

This trip to the human world was not in vain.

The people around heard the loud laughter of this Master Master Jian Sheng and immediately knew that the little girl's fate had completely taken off from this moment.

Although in the Divine General Mansion, she was already extremely noble and envied by the world, only by meeting a famous teacher like the Master Master Jian Sheng could she truly climb to the peak, and she was expected to become a household name in the future, leaving her name for ten generations!

In an instant, countless complex gazes in the courtyard were focused on the little girl holding the sword.

Bian Ruxue stopped her sword, felt the gazes gathered on her, and looked at Li Hao nervously.

Li Hao smiled at her and gave a thumbs up.

Bian Ruxue knew what this action meant—praising her for being great.

So the little girl also relaxed and smiled.

"You recommended well, recommended well!"

Jian Wudao, who had a serious expression and his own majestic aura, was now laughing and patting the shoulder of the old man in the army beside him. If he hadn't had an old acquaintance with his third disciple, who recommended her strongly, he wouldn't have picked up such a peerless sword embryo for nothing.

"Senior is too polite. It is her good fortune that Xue'er can apprentice under the Master Master Jian Sheng." The old man in the army said, flattered.

The two looked similar in appearance, both like sixty-year-old men, but in reality, the gap in age and status was extremely vast.

Jian Wudao smiled, his mood extremely good. He walked to the little girl, bent down, and said kindly: "Little girl, you like sword, right? How about I take you to practice?"

Bian Ruxue was stunned and asked: "Where to?"

"Sword Hut."

Jian Wudao smiled and revealed this holy land that sword practitioners in the world yearned for, saying: "I will teach you to practice sword there and give you the best sword techniques."

Bian Ruxue didn't understand and only asked: "Is it far?"

"It's about nine thousand miles to the south. For you, it can be considered far." Jian Wudao smiled.

Bian Ruxue immediately looked at Li Hao not far away and said to Li Hao: "Brother Hao, are you going too?"

Jian Wudao then realized that he had forgotten another child.

He Jianlan walked over at the right time and smiled quietly: "Senior Master Master Jian Sheng, you also forgot to look at Hao'er's sword talent. I heard he also has quite a bit of sword spirituality."

"Yes, Senior."

Beside him, Li Fu was excited and took the opportunity to say: "When Xue'er practices sword, the Young Master often watches from the side and will give her some good suggestions. I see that although the Young Master hasn't practiced, he seems to have his own understanding and talent for sword Dao."

Jian Wudao was somewhat surprised, glanced at Li Hao, and his brow suddenly furrowed slightly. But hindered by He Jianlan being nearby, he immediately said: "Fine, give him a sword and let him demonstrate. Any sword move will do."

"Thank you, Senior Master Master Jian Sheng!"

Li Fu was overjoyed and thanked him excitedly, then said to Bian Ruxue: "Miss Xue'er, please lend your sword to the Young Master."

Bian Ruxue nodded obediently and handed the sword to Li Hao.
