Chapter 428 Sword Test 2
Chapter 428 Sword Test 2
"This, this is?"
At this moment, everyone's eyes fell on the two swords in Bai Yue's hands, because from the appearance of these two swords, they were like cold stars twinkling in the dark night, and the blades emitted a sharp cold light.
"Sir, may I try out this sword?"
Ruogu swallowed and looked eager to try.
"Of course, this is meant to accompany you and this young Taoist priest!"
As soon as Bai Yue finished speaking, Ruo Miao, who was still sobbing softly, stopped crying in an instant.
"You, are you serious? Are you really going to give me this sword?"
"Yes, although you are also at fault in this matter, the cause is still my master's disrespect for the elderly!"
As she spoke, she handed the sword to the two of them. On the other side, Lu Wangyou opened his hands wide and tried to hold back Madam Xue, who had her eyes wide open and a look of gnashing teeth.
"Uncle Xue, Dazhuang means no harm, don't be so angry..."
"No ill intentions? Then what does she mean by disrespecting the elderly?"
Although Mrs. Xue still had only a vague understanding of most words, when she heard the word "disrespectful to the elderly", she subconsciously felt that it was definitely not a good word.
"...Uncle Xue, what she meant by disrespecting the elderly...is that as an elder, who dares to disrespect you?"
At this critical moment, Lu Wangyou couldn't care less, so he took a deep breath and started to deceive people.
"Ah, so this is what they mean by disrespecting the elderly? Then she was absolutely right about me!"
When Mrs. Xue heard his words, her brows relaxed instantly, and although Lu Wangyou was full of apology in his heart, he still nodded solemnly.
The little episode on their side did not attract Bai Yue's attention, because after Ruogu tried the sword she handed over, he couldn't help but express his sincere admiration for the exquisite craftsmanship and excellent feel.
"What a good sword! It's a really good sword. It feels much better than my Broken Water Sword!"
"Since the Taoist priest likes it, then this Taoist priest's sword..."
As soon as Bai Yue finished speaking, Ruogu respectfully handed Ruoxu's sword to the other party with both hands.
"Senior Sister, this is the sword given to you by the headmaster himself. You'd better put it away quickly!"
"this…"
Ruoxu's eyes fell on the sword handed to him, but he did not reach out to take it. Instead, he looked at Bai Yue with a look of guilt and uneasiness.
"Sir, thank you for your kindness, but these two swords are obviously not ordinary items. How can we easily..."
"Hey, Taoist Priest, what you said is not right. Didn't you save me when I almost fell off my horse just now? So it's understandable that I give your junior brothers and sisters two swords as a reward!"
Bai Yue smiled and interrupted the other party's refusal, and immediately found a plausible reason for her act of giving the sword as a gift.
"That was just a small favor for me, I don't need any help from you..."
"Big brother, the sword you gave me is really good. My name is Ruo Miao. I wonder what your name is, big brother?"
Ruomiao took small steps and ran quickly to Ruoxu, blocking him behind her while speaking crisply.
"My name is Bai Dazhuang!"
Bai Yue put on a polite smile, but she never expected that the other party didn't look awkward at all and immediately started talking to her in a familiar manner.
"Then I'll call you Brother Dazhuang from now on, okay? My name is Ruo Miao, Ruo means, Ruo means..."
Just as Ruo Miao was racking her brains to think of how to describe her own name, Bai Yue paused for a moment, then raised the corners of her mouth.
"Young Taoist Priest's name, Ruo Miao, is derived from the saying, 'The Dao heart is as clear as a flowing spring, and the misty clouds float in the tranquil world?'"
"Wow...Brother Dazhuang, you are so eloquent! This is the first time I've heard someone explain the origin of my name like this!"
At this moment, Ruomiao's bright big eyes were staring at Bai Yue without blinking, and Ruoxu, who was standing next to her, had an expression of amazement and admiration on his face after hearing this poem.
"I didn't expect that Mr. Bai is so intelligent. With just a short line of poetry, he was able to see through the original intention of us cultivators."
"In that case, Brother Dazhuang, why don't you come and practice Taoism? With your comprehension, you might even be able to achieve immortality!"
Ruogu, who was in a very good mood at the moment, came over quickly. He winked and gently nudged Bai Yue with his elbow.
"You are too polite, I am just..."
"Hey, hey, hey, are we leaving or not? Isn't that Xuanji Master in imminent danger? Why are you still chatting here?"
Just as Ruogu approached Bai Yue, Xue Fu immediately noticed that Lu Wangyou looked unhappy, so as an elder who was disrespectful to his elders, he immediately started yelling at the top of his voice.
"That's right, the Master's health is the most important thing now. We can't waste any more time!"
After Ruoxu nodded, he asked the others to tidy up briefly, and then he took the bamboo tube to the nearest water source to draw water.
"Is Master Xuanji in imminent danger? Just how badly injured is he?"
Bai Yue originally asked this question to Lu Wangyou and the others, but who would have thought that Ruogu would come over out of the blue, lower his voice, and speak mysteriously.
"Brother Dazhuang, you may not know that the injury suffered by our headmaster was not physical, but emotional."
"Emotional hurt? What do you mean, young Taoist priest?"
She was just about to ask for clarification, but Ruomiao walked up to Ruogu angrily, raised her little hand and hit him hard on the shoulder without saying a word.
"Brother, don't talk nonsense. How could a person like the master, who is like a banished immortal, fall in love with a demonic woman from the Demon Sect?"
"Hey, little junior sister, what you said is not right. I heard from the brothers who took care of the master that since he was rescued, he has been muttering about his little fairy's death every day. So I guess he must have met some fairy girl on his trip..."
"What little fairy, big fairy? The headmaster has been bewitched by the demonic woman of the demon sect. He clearly liked Senior Sister Ruoxu before, otherwise why would he give her his treasured sword!"
Ruo Miao completely scoffed at Ruogu's statement, and was convinced in her heart that her senior sister and the headmaster were a match made in heaven.
"Junior Sister, have you made a mistake? The Sect Master only admires you. There's no such thing as a man or a woman..."
"Wow, wow, Senior Brother Ruogu bullied me. I really didn't mean to cut off your water supply!"
Before Ruogu could finish his words, Ruo Miao burst into tears without any warning, as if she had suffered a great injustice. The brothers and sisters around her didn't understand why, but when they saw their little sister crying again, they immediately used their Qinggong skills and flew to Ruogu's side with a "whoosh whoosh".
"No, no, I really didn't bully Junior Sister. I just told her that the Sect Master treated Senior Sister Ruoxu..."
"Hmm? What did the Master do to me?"
Ruoxu, who had just returned from fetching water, looked up at Ruogu. Her eyes were full of confusion, and she was obviously completely bewildered by this inexplicable situation.
"Sister, I've been crying for a long time and my eyes are red. Can you accompany me to the river to wash up?"
At this moment, Ruomiao didn't give Ruogu any chance to speak. She swooped down to Ruoxu's side like a little bird eager to find shelter.
"You haven't always been so particular about your appearance, little one. Why are you dressing up so hard today?"
After hearing Ruomiao's words, Ruoxu couldn't help but laugh and joke, but he didn't expect that the other party didn't respond. Instead, he looked at Bai Yue with affection.
"It seems my little junior sister has grown up!"
Looking at the young girl's first love, Ruoxu sighed as if he knew something, but in addition to the satisfaction that her daughter had grown up, her eyes also contained a hint of loss and loneliness.
Unfortunately, Bai Yue didn't pay any attention to the interaction between the two girls. She just looked solemn as she quickly returned to Lu Wangyou and Madam Xue's side, then lowered her voice and spoke in a low voice that only the two of them could hear.
"Master, Brother Lu, if you don't want me to die miserably, then once we get to Zixiao Temple, please don't reveal my identity!"
