Chapter 432: Sword Immortal? Martial Immortal? In My View, They're Just Dreaming!

Weixian County Magistrate, do you truly not know, or are you pretending not to know, or are you saying you know but don't dare to speak it out!

Dai Zhishang let out a cold laugh, and from Wei Yuan's denial just now, he could see what Wei Yuan was thinking, and he was too lazy to waste more idle words with Wei Yuan; after all, he is the County Magistrate of Qingyang County, his superior official, and said:

Sister Dongzhu, just hear my advice: even if you want your son Ping'an to grow up peacefully, he must have solid abilities and self‑protection; otherwise he'll be fish on a cutting board, at the mercy of anyone!

What he really meant was that with a stepmother like Title: Prime Minister's Daughter eyeing him like a tiger, Wang Ping'an's growth into adulthood is not impossible, but at least layers of danger await him; Xuanqing Daozhang's forceful intrusion into the Prime Minister's residence could at most give that Title: Prime Minister's Daughter about three to five years of warning time.

It can't be a lifetime!

Since Wang Ping'an was born, the Title: Prime Minister's Daughter has wanted to ruin his life; he doesn't believe that the Title: Prime Minister's Daughter would, merely because of Xuanqing Daozhang's forceful intrusion, spare Wang Ping'an for a whole lifetime.

Wang Ping'an wants to grow up safely, free from the Title: Prime Minister's Daughter's threat; the best solution is to find a patron.

But now everyone knows that regarding Wang Ping'an and the Prime Minister's residence, apart from Lü Tu, a person without a family background, almost no one dares to involve themselves with the Wang Family.

Not kicking him when he's down would be good enough.

Even those sects that claim to teach without discrimination, upon learning Wang Ping'an's situation, might not accept him.

After all, the Prime Minister is a figure second only to the ruler of the entire Daxia, with ten thousand beneath him; it's not just sects— even monsters within Daxia must, to some extent, give him face.

The Nine Heavens Sword Sect—having his younger brother there—he doesn't believe; even if he asks his brother, his brother wouldn't stand up for the child Wang Ping'an.

But at least there must be a reason to stand up.

For example, if Wang Ping'an is a Sword Dao prodigy, he qualifies to join the Nine Heavens Sword Sect as a disciple.

Otherwise there is no reason.

Even if his brother wanted to stand up, he has no way to do so for Wang Ping'an.

Young Master Dai, I understand!

Liu Dongzhu let out a slight sigh, her expression instantly becoming extremely complex; instinctively she took the Sword Manual handed over by Dai Zhishang, no longer resisting as before.

She had originally agreed for her son Ping'an to become a disciple of Xuanqing Daozhang, not only because Xuanqing Daozhang was good for Ping'an, but also because she hoped that Ping'an, learning from Xuanqing Daozhang, would at least gain self‑protection, even if he didn't aim for fame.

At that time.

When she was sleeping, a villain broke into the bedroom; if it hadn't been the sword qi that Great Sword Hero Dong Qing injected into Ping'an's body, she couldn't imagine what would have happened.

Back then she so hoped Ping'an would have solid abilities; even if he couldn't protect her, at least he could protect himself. She didn't care about her own life or death; what mattered was Ping'an's safety.

After agreeing to let Ping'an become Xuanqing Daozhang's disciple, she barely felt a sliver of security.

She knew Xuanqing Daozhang's prowess; she believed that Ping'an, learning from him, could acquire self‑protection.

She never imagined that Xuanqing Daozhang would stand up for their family, go to the Capital City, forcefully break into the Prime Minister's residence, and after returning, lose twenty years of his yang lifespan.

Again, a wave of worry rose in her heart, fearing that even if Ping'an learned all of Xuanqing Daozhang's skills, when facing the Prime Minister's residence's retaliation, he might still lack self‑protection.

Dai Zhishang chuckled, 'Sister Dongzhu, look, your Ping'an is staring at this Sword Manual without blinking; perhaps he likes it a lot. Why don't you flip through it for the child?'

The sudden voice startled Liu Dongzhu out of her myriad thoughts; instinctively she wanted to retort, but a peripheral glance at Wang Ping'an's dark, glossy eyes—though he said nothing—somehow let her read his mind. 'Ping'an, you want to see the Sword Manual that Uncle Dai gave you?'

Liu Dongzhu couldn't help asking, seeing Wang Ping'an give no reply—no surprise—but his dark eyes still stared fixedly at the Nine Heavens Sword Manual in her hand, and she laughed:

'Alright, I'll flip through it for you!'

Dai Zhishang watched as Liu Dongzhu turned the pages of the Nine Heavens Sword Manual; Wang Ping'an seemed to watch earnestly, his face full of inexpressible joy, and he impatiently said:

'I told you, this Sword Manual is perfect for Ping'an; see how much he loves it. Perhaps when he grows up, he'll become a generation Sword Immortal!'

'What Sword Immortal!'

Lü Tu snorted in displeasure.

Dai Zhishang said, 'What, Lv Qianhu, you don't believe this child Ping'an can become a generation Sword Immortal?'

'Of course I don't believe this child can become a generation Sword Immortal!'

Lü Tu barked coldly, not waiting for Dai Zhishang to retort, and continued, 'If this child takes me as master and learns from me, I am confident I can train him into a generation Martial Immortal—proficient with knives, spears, staffs… all eighteen weapons. How could he end up being only a Sword Immortal?'

This novel you

'Then I shall watch with interest to see whether Lv Qianhu has the ability to train Ping'an into a generation Martial Immortal!'

Dai Zhishang chuckled, and did not retort.

He plans to wait until Wang Ping'an grows up and masters the Nine Heavens Sword Manual, then, using his younger brother's connections, send the child to the Nine Heavens Sword Sect for cultivation; but he does not oppose the child taking Lü Tu as master.

As the saying goes: When three walk together, there must be a teacher among them!

For Wang Ping'an to take Lü Tu as master adds Lü Tu as a patron, protecting the Wang Family's safety, and also allows him to inherit all of Lü Tu's skills.

Then going to the Nine Heavens Sword Sect for cultivation, learning its techniques and integrating them, whether becoming a Sword Immortal or a Martial Immortal, is a path that reaches the heavens.

'Ha, again a Sword Immortal or a Martial Immortal; I still think this child is no special—just a mere acquired Sword Body, after all.'

Wei Yuan let out a cold snort inwardly; but if one looked closely, one could see a hint of envy in his eyes—an acquired Sword Body is also a rare treasure—so he sneered to himself:

'But don't say this child is only an acquired Sword Body; even if he were a Primordial Sword Body, he still could never become a Sword Immortal or a Martial Immortal!'

With a stepmother like Title: Prime Minister's Daughter eyeing him like a tiger.

If Wang Ping'an were an ordinary person with no notable talent, having someone like Xuanqing Daozhang willing to sacrifice his life for him.

The Title: Prime Minister's Daughter might be able to allow the child to grow up safely, marry and have children.

But the more gifted this child is, the more extraordinary he becomes…

Not even Xuanqing Daozhang, nor any sect backing him, could prevent the Title: Prime Minister's Daughter from likely seeking a chance to kill this child!
