Chapter 402: Chapter 401 3 Talents of the Sect

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Yanran, Yunlan?

Zong Shou was surprised, these 2 people were like cranes standing out from the group of chickens when they were amongst the common people path disciples, like pearls in the sand, making one unknowingly look over. They were dazzling such that one couldnt help but look.

Didnt the 2 of them say that they were going to return to their sect after saying goodbye at Dragon Gathering Mountain? Why did they come here?

However, he only felt a little weird about this matter. Considering that they were disciples of the common people path, for them to come over here to cultivate wasnt out of the ordinary.

What truly made him surprised was that the 2 girls treated him like they didnt see him, walking out of the lecture hall with a cold expression on their faces.

Then he remembered that the current him had changed his looks. The 2 of them, of course, didnt recognize him.

Even if they guessed his identity, reminiscing in front of everyone was a little inappropriate.

Zong Shou thought about it for a moment, following which he followed up not closely but not slowly either. He crossed several corridors and into a huge garden, as expected the 2 of them were waiting for him.

Yunlan greets your highness, how have you been? After saying goodbye at Dragon Gathering Mountain, your highnesss cultivation seemed to have gotten higher.

Seeing Zong Shou arrive, Xuan Yunlan seemed to have become a whole other person, a wide smile on her face. She wasnt as ice-cold as before.

That Zhao Yanran didnt treat him so amicably, scoffing coldly as a form of a greeting.

Zong Shou smiled, casually removing the illusionary technique on his body. He also didnt ask the 2 of them why they would be in the vast habitat directly nodding his head, It is great that you came, I was fussing about not having someone to play the instruments for me.

Without Xuan Yunlans soul calming spiritual tune to subjugate the soul, recently he didnt dare to use the illusionary heart mirror.

Although it was an illusion that he made himself, but if he was injured within it was an actual injury and would injure his soul.

When Xuan Yunlan heard that, she didnt care. On the contrary, she smiled, Xuan Yunlan came here because of that. The 3-month agreement with you still isnt completed. 10 days ago she came to the vast habitat to wait for you to complete her promise.

Zhao Yanran was speechless, her mouth agape, scolding Zong Shou for being shameless. He treated Xuan Yunlan as his slave whilst the latter was also so willing and subservient.

Following which her expression was solemn as she said seriously, Zong Shou I dont hope for you to be able to ascend in one year. I just hope that a year later you can put in more effort and at least charge for the Xuanwu realm, can you do that? If you are a man dont disappoint me!

Zong Shou was at a loss, looking right at Zhao Yanran, following which he looked towards Xuan Yunlan with inquisitive eyes.

Did Zhao Yanran eat gunpowder? Why was she so explosive?

To enter the Xuanwu ancestor realm in a year? He did have some confidence. However, considering the foundations of his world shocking spiritual art, this speed was still a little quick.

In the past, when he looked at this Zhao Yanran, she didnt look like an impatient person.

Xuan Yunlan was able to read people, seeing his gaze she instantly smiled, That is because of sword prince Jue Yu. You might not have heard about it but this Jue Yu is one of the 3 pinnacle swords of the cloud world. It is said that he is the best sword user of the younger generation. Not long ago he swore that he would go up to their doors one by one, to challenge the 19 spiritual houses, 10 shrines, 5 vast habitats, and 3 heavenly places to verify his sword path. Not long ago he had defeated 2 spiritual house sects.

Sword prince Jue Yu?

Zong Shous brows rose up, he had heard of the 3 pinnacle swords of the cloud world from Su Chen, however, he didnt know who they were specifically. He only knew that one of them was Lei Dongs enemy spirit sword Ruo Tao.

In his heart he felt respectful, to challenge all the people, that was truly testing his sword on the world

Something that he had always wanted to do was being started by this sword prince Jue Yu.

He also understood no wonder why Zhao Yanran would be so anxious. Seven Spirit Sect was the head of all spiritual houses so since Jue Yu wanted to challenge the 19 spiritual houses then the Seven Spirit Sect wouldnt be able to avoid it.

To be able to be regarded as highly as that spirit sword Ruo Tao, he probably wouldnt be weaker than Lei Dong.

His sworn brother was now a truly skilled grandmaster realm expert.

Thinking about it for a moment, Zong Shou gave a forced nod, I will try! However, with such an opponent, even if you reach the peak of Xuanwu you are still not his opponent. Within your Seven Spirit Sect probably only your senior master He Xueying has the rights to challenge him.

Zhao Yanrans expression relaxed, Zong Shou and her had a reverse seed cauldron relationship. Originally with her talents, it would be impossible for her to breakthrough to Xuanwu ancestor within a year. But with Zong Shou as the cauldron seed feeding her, she had some chance.

Hearing those words she wasnt that angry, she also knew that at this moment for her to fight that Jue Yu was just too forced.

She was forcing Zong Shou because she had just a bit of hope and wasnt willing for the Seven Spirit Sect to be humiliated.

She muttered and was about to thank him, in the next moment she heard Zong Shou smile and say, However if you want me to agree I have a condition. Within this year you need to spar with my maidservant and must be a willing party. If not, then forget it!

Zhao Yanran was furious. Frustration pent up in her chest that she was unable to vent out. She should have known that it was impossible for her not to pay a price for her coming to beg this fellow.

Zong Shou stopped bothering about her and looked curiously towards Xuan Yunlan, What is happening today? I remember that I didnt offend any people from the common people path? Why is it like you 2 arent willing to talk to me?

When Xuan Yunlan heard that she helplessly shook her head, Previously you did not offend everyone, but now you moved into that 1st Courtyard A you offended some people badly.

Zong Shou was enlightened, thinking that it was in fact due to that courtyard? When he first saw the name of the courtyard he had a bad feeling about it.

However, as Hanfang had arranged it he couldnt oppose.

Following which he heard Xuan Yunlan continue to speak, Our common people path had an unwritten rule that this courtyard is someone only the common people sect main hall and the most outstanding person from the 3 sects and 6 schools could occupy. And anyone who moves in would be able to reach the celestial realm. Ten thousand years and there has been no exception. Since 20 years ago, after Taiyuan Sects Fairy Shui left, it had been left empty. Originally in this generation, Taiyuan, Xuanyang and Hanling sects had exceptional disciples who had hopes of moving in. Not long ago they were fighting all out for this rights. In the end, your highness just appeared and directly occupied it. Wouldnt they be annoyed and filled with hate?

Zong Shou could only smile awkwardly. He did offend people badly.

A person whose identity and background they didnt know anything about for no reason occupied something that they have been fighting for. If he was one of them, he would also feel annoyed.

Taiyuan Sect Xuanye, Xuanyang Sect Xie An, Hanling Sect Luoshi, these 3 people are called the 3 talents of the common people path. They are also really respected amongst the disciples and have great influence, not only in their sect, even in the others they have people that follow them and treat them as their leader.

Zhao Yanran had come back to her senses, saying with a flat tone and with a mocking intent,These 3 people are the top of the 3 sects, maybe they dont care about moving into that courtyard but their friends, but senior brothers and junior brothers all hate you to the core and feel unjust for them. Today they are all rubbing their palms to want to teach you a lesson. It wont be easy for you to make them yield.

Zong Shou smiled, he didnt have any intention to continue the conversation. The questions in his heart had been answered and as such he didnt want to continue the conversation with the 2 of them. This was the 1st time he came to the vast habitat and there were just so so many things he had to do.

As for those people with nefarious intentions he didnt bother about them. If they were unhappy then he will just beat them up until they were happy.

He joined the common people path to learn techniques. If he could be low profile then naturally that would be for the best.

However, since his senior brother Hanfang has placed him on that position, then he wouldnt fear anything. He didnt have any intention to give it up either to calm down the people. The 1st courtyard A was something that he is his.

Returning into the lecture hall, the fellow cultivators were extremely cold as they gazed at him, keeping their distance.

At this moment Zong Shou didnt care, at least he had some peace and quiet to be able to leisurely listen. Just like before when he just started the sword path. He fully focused. His entire being was like a sponge, absorbing all the spiritual cultivation basics that he could use.

In the day, there were a total of 4 lessons. In the morning it was about how to cultivate and occasionally there were a few practical lessons. In the afternoon it was about spells and talisman path.

Zong Shou didnt attend every single lecture, he would only choose those useful to him. During the talisman path lessons, he would always leave, finding a quiet spot in the Book Hiding Building to read books on his way.

Many days passed exactly like that. No one jumped out to find trouble with him, only those surrounding gazes seemed to become more and more unfriendly.

Zong Shou could feel that these few days had seemed calm but actually, there were many hidden currents moving deep below.

What he as happy about was that Zong Yuan and Ruoshui were like fish taking to water, adapting quickly to the common people path palace.

Every day they were busy. Zong Yuan focused on the martial path. However, recently due to the need to cultivate spiritual arts, he would listen in along with Zong Shou. As for Ruoshui, she would spend time on both sides, like she entered a treasure trove, every day she was extremely busy.

Only Chuxue seemed like she was unable to adapt. Even in the martial path lessons that she loved, she couldnt understand anything. Her face was lost.

It wasnt until 2 days later, when Zhao Yanran became her sparring partner, that she pumped up and had some energy in her life.

It made Zong Shou sigh. Was this brat retarded or was her mind stolen by that overpowered bodily abilities?

Shi Ruolan was picked up in the morning by Hanfang every day and was only released at night.

Zong Shou only knew that some internal energy appeared in this little brats body and it was getting stronger and stronger. He didnt care about her progress and knew that with a god realm expert personally teaching, it was much more trustable than if he did it himself.
