The Venerable Swordsman Chapter 42 - What Are You Afraid of? Just Go Beat Them up!

Chapter 42 What Are You Afraid of? Just Go Beat Them up!

In no time, Mo Yunqi’s wail of mourning was heard in the mountain.

At high noon, inside the Canglan Hall.

Mr. Ji sat at the head of the table. He drank from time to time and his whole person was still in an alcoholic haze, not very clear. Ji Anzhi sat in the first seat on his left who was slowly licking a pair of chopsticks holding in her hands. In the seat on Mr. Ji’s right sat the skinhead man with a string of iron beads in his hand. The surface of those iron beads was pretty smooth and glittered with a faint glow. Apparently, they were not made of ordinary materials.

Mo Yunqi sat right next to the skinhead man whose appearance was really a bit miserable. His face was black and blue, and there were footprints all over his body. Even worse, the skinhead man sitting beside him glimpsed him now and then with an unfriendly look!

Just then, a fragrant enveloped their entire faces.

Mr. Ji’s eyes opened all at once. In the meantime, Ji Anzhi promptly sat up straight and was ready to go with long chopsticks in her hand.

Ye Xuan and Ye Ling, each of them came over with a plate. Ye Xuan brought a plate of roast chicken, golden brown, which looked very tempting; Ye Ling brought a steamed fish which looked very appetizing!

Hardly when the siblings put the plates on the table, Mr. Ji and Ji Anzhi started eating!

Their speed was so fast that both the skinhead man and Mo Yunqi on the side were shocked. Let alone them, even Ye Xuan and Ye Ling were also petrified in situ.

The old man was all right. It was mainly because of Ji Anzhi. With such an eating speed, she could only be described as a gangster. In less than a dozen breaths of time, the roast chicken placed before Ji Anzhi was eaten down to the bone and the fish was also left with only fishbones.

The skinhead man on the side and Mo Yunqi looked them with puzzlement because they had just picked up their chopsticks.

Mr. Ji cast an eye at Ji Anzhi. “Restrain yourself a little!”

Ji Anzhi licked the chopsticks and then looked at Ye Xuan. “Is there more food?”

Everyone, “...”

After a long time, the Canglan Hall quieted down. They all sat around the table. On the table, there were seven or eight plates; all cleaned up!

The skinhead man and Mo Yunqi looked disheartened because they only ate a few bites...

Ye Xuan and sister Ye Ling smiled at each other because the siblings had already had enough in the kitchen!

At this time, Mr. Ji suddenly said, “Let me introduce these new students to you.”

With this, he pointed to the skinhead man, “Bai Ze comes from Mang Mountain in the north, a half-monster.”

The skinhead man named Bai Ze got up, and he gave a slight tribute to everyone, but he took one unkind look at Mo Yunqi.

Mo Yunqi’s mouth corners twitched a little and then he gave Ye Xuan nearby a black look.

Ye Xuan, “...”

At this time, Mr. Ji pointed at Mo Yunqi. “Mo Yunqi is from Mo Town lies in the southernmost frontier. He has a light and agile const.i.tution so he can yield twice the result with half the effort if he cultivates the kind of martial art skills emphasize particularly on speed. He is skilled in using sticks and throwing daggers!”

“Throwing daggers!”

Ye Xuan looked at Ye Xuan, “This guy hid something to me!”

Mo Yunqi suddenly pointed to Ye Xuan, “Old man, talk us about him!”

Mr. Ji glanced at Ye Xuan. “Ye Xuan, from the Ye Family in Qing City. He is a Sword Cultivator! A Great Sword Cultivator!”

“A Great Sword Cultivator!”

Ji Anzhi and the skinhead man stared at Ye Xuan, and there was a hint of surprise and curiosity in their eyes!

“A Great Sword Cultivator!”

“They are still quite rare in the whole Jiang Country, especially such a young Great Sword Cultivator!”

“Ye Xuan...”

At this moment, Mo Yunqi stood up abruptly, and he fixed his eyes at Ye Xuan with horror. “Elder Brother, aren’t you the rubbish that was abandoned by Cangmu College? You...”

“You are the rubbish!”

Ye Ling suddenly glowered at Mo Yunqi. “I won’t cook for you anymore!”

Aside, Bai Ze nodded. “Don’t cook for him!”

Mo Yunqi’s face convulsed in a series of twitches. He gently slapped his cheek and smiled obsequiously, “Little sister, it’s, it’s only a blunder. Please don’t be angry...”

He was clear about the current situation now. In Canglan College, only the siblings knew how to cook. If they didn’t cook anymore, he could only graze afterward!

Ye Ling snorted and said nothing more.

Mr. Ji suddenly answered, “He is the well spread Ye Xuan in the Imperial Capital!”

The very Ye Xuan whose name was spread all through the Imperial Capital!

Under the deliberate propaganda of Cangmu College, it could be said that now Ye Xuan was very famous in the Imperial Capital but not with a good reputation of course.

Mo Yunqi looked Ye Xuan over and shook his head. “Well, Cangmu College is really something! They even refuse someone like you. Since when have they set such a high bar?”

Ye Xuan smiled but said nothing.

Mr. Ji said precipitously, “On the back mountain, there is a Martial Arts Hall. It was the place where the students of Canglan College studied. In normal times, you can go inside and have a look. Maybe you can reap some gains!”

“Is there any martial arts?”

Mo Yunqi asked hurriedly, “Something like practicing method is also okay!”

Mr. Ji shook his head.

“Why?” Mo Yunqi could not understand.

Mr. Ji said indifferent, “I sold them for drinking!”

Everyone, “...”

Mr. Ji stood up. “We have one year and a half. A year and a half later will be the triennial life-and-death compet.i.tion between the students in Canglan College and Cangmu College. I don’t want your bodies to be hung on the path of Cangshan Mountain a year and a half later. Also, usually, you’d better not go out to hang around. If the students from Cangmu College see you, they will always pick up a fight with you!”

After that, he turned and left.

Ji Anzhi suddenly turned to look at Ye Xuan. “Go to cook something to eat!”

Ye Xuan, “...”

After an hour, when Ye Anzhi was full, she stood up. “Friendly remind you that there are two great geniuses in Cangmu College, one male and one female. The male is called Fen Jue and the female is named Bei Chen. Both of them are under 20. But they all have achieved the Ascending Realm, or they may have reached half of the Secluding Realm already. Let me put it this way, in the whole Jiang Country. There is just one person who can always suppress them. This person, you should know who it is!”

The few people around certainly knew who this person was. After all, who else could it be in addition to An Lanxiu?

Ji Anzhi added, “In addition to the two, there are three remarkable talents below them. These three people are unidentified, and it’s only known that each of them has a special skill. It is rumored that if the three men join hands, they can even compete with An Lanxiu.”

At this time, Mo Yunqi raised his right hand and asked somewhat timorously, “Er, will it be too late if I drop out now?”

Ji Anzhi glanced at Mo Yunqi and said, “You still have time to suicide!”

“Alas!”

Mo Yunqi bent over the desk and gave a long sigh. “I was so deeply trapped because of the old man.”

Just then, Ye Xuan suddenly said, “Since everyone is there, I have something to discuss with you.”

Everyone looked at Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan thought about it and then said, “I have checked before, Canglan College is short of many daily necessities, such as firewood, rice, cooking oil, salt, and some other things. There is even no toilet paper. In short, we lack everything...”

“Oh, my dear G.o.d!”

Mo Yunqi whined with his head on the table, and his face was full of hopeless and desperate.

Ye Xuan looked at them. “I decided to go down the mountain to buy some daily necessities. But I don’t have enough money. Each of you should also make a contribution. Let’s chip in some money!”

Everyone, “...”

Seeing Ji Anzhi and the other two did not speak, Ye Xuan shrugged his shoulders. “It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to. Then everyone should depend on their own afterward. All right?”

Hearing his words, their corners of the mouth twitched. “Depend on their own afterward? So will I eat gra.s.s in the future?”

After a while, Bai Ze took out a bag and handed it to Ye Xuan. “Twenty gold coins.”

Ye Xuan took these coins without any formalities. Then he looked to Ji Anzhi who kept looking at Ye Xuan like that. Under her gaze, Ye Xuan’s scalp could not help numb. After a while, Ye Xuan waved his hand. “Okay, okay. You don’t need to contribute. Go to do something you should do!”

Ji Anzhi turned away instantly without the slightest hesitation.

Ye Xuan turned his head to watch Mo Yunqi. Mo Yunqi looked at him exactly the same way as Ji Anzhi looked at him. He also kept staring at Ye Xuan!

Ye Xuan suddenly slammed on the table vehemently and bellowed in anger, “Stop f.u.c.king staring at me. Give me money immediately. Otherwise, you go to graze on gra.s.s!”

Mo Yunqi, “...”

After an hour, Ye Xuan took her sister down the mountain. On the left and right sides of them were Mo Yunqi and Bai Ze respectively.

This time, they walked down the mountain to purchase, and they had quite a lot of things to buy. He and his sister Ye Ling certainly couldn’t carry so many things. Therefore, he asked Mo Yunqi and Bai Ze to go with them.

On the road, Ye Ling was alive and kicking. She was really very happy.

Looking at Ye Ling in front of him, Ye Xuan’s eyes had a trace of sadness. Because the Fire Spirit had suppressed the cold in Ye Ling’s body temporarily. But the Fire Spirit could only last one month at most. What if there was no new subst.i.tute one month later...

When he thought about this, he took out the black jade pendant that An Lanxiu had given to him.

Frontier Mountain, the Sword Lord’s Abode!

“I must go there myself!” Ye Xuan murmured.

On the left side of Ye Xuan, Mo Yunqi had a weed between his lips. He was humming some unknown songs, somewhat carelessly and casually. While, on the right side of Ye Xuan, Bai Ze walked with his head down. He was very silent. It should be said that he basically did not speak at all.

At this time, Mo Yunqi suddenly asked, “Hey, both of you. Do you have confidence in winning in a year and a half?”

Ye Xuan gently tapped on Mo Yunqi’s shoulder. “What are you afraid of? Go straight to beat them up!”

Mo Yunqi gave his thumbs up to Ye Xuan. “Elder Brother, that’s easy to say. But the question is can we beat them up? If we can’t, we will be killed and our bodies will be hung on the Cangshan Mountain path!”

Ye Xuan spread his hand, “Can’t beat them? Then what should we do? Go to Cangmu College and kneel down begging for mercy?”

Mo Yunqi sighed a little. “I blamed myself for being obsessed with Mr. Ji’s words and was deceived here by him. Ah, every time I talk about it, I break down in tears!”

At this point, seemingly thinking of something, he turned to look at Bai Ze nearby. “Big man, how did you fell for it?”

Ye Xuan also watched Bai Ze because he wanted to know how Bai Ze was fooled here too... Under normal conditions, no one would be willing to come here.

Bai Ze paused a little, then said, “Mr. Ji said that I have amazing bones and special talents and I am the martial arts prodigy in a million. He also said that the peace of Jiang Country in the future would all depend on me.”

Ye Xuan and Mo Yunqi were stricken dumb there. After quite a while, Mo Yunqi rolled his throat and asked, “Did you really believe it?”

Bai Ze gave a glance at them and then nodded, “Of course!”

Ye Xuan, “...”
