CBGC – ch87.2

Dawn the next day, Su Tingyun goes out of her room to make breakfast. She steams some egg custard for the three children, and nothing for the rest.

Bai Chengyu starts to cultivate with a gun early in the morning. As he trains with it, his whole body is covered with murderous intent, as if he has become a different person. He’s very focused when he trains, so Su Tingyun doesn’t disturb him.

Sword in hand, she goes to her Master Zhan Yu, intending to find out the name of the sword and who used it before. But when Zhan Yu sees the sword, he’s also surprised, “This sword looks really good.”

“There was such a good sword under the Cleansing Sword Lake? How did I not find it.” His tone is rather regretful.  “The Treasure Light is introverted, and the edge is not obvious, but people wouldn’t dare underestimate it. It could be an Immortal sword.”

“The sword Ren Yi gave his master before, it was good, but I think it’s not as good as this one.” Zhan Yu is a sword cultivator, and he knows swords well. If he says so, this sword shouldn’t be bad.

After Zhan Yu finishes speaking, he directly takes the iron sword in Xiao Budian’s hand, and brings them together. But they only hear a small sound, and the big iron sword is easily cut into two pieces.

The elegant sword cuts the iron sword without making too much noise, just like cutting tofu.

Although the two swords make no sound, as soon as the sword is broken, Xiao Budian’s entire body freezes in place. After being stunned for a while, he picks up the broken sword, tears glistening in his eyes.

Xiao Budian takes a deep breath, but he still can’t hold it back. He leaves without looking back, holding the iron sword that broke in two. Su Tingyun knows that he doesn’t feel good, and she’s about to chase after him. But Zhan Yu pulls her back.

“I’ll tell you about this sword…”

“There is no record of this sword on the jade slip by the entrance.” He pauses, “Even though there were a lot of people in our Obliteration Sword Tower before, everyone has a record. The names and the previous flying swords are also engraved on the obelisk. So this sword should have been collected by our predecessors, and they couldn’t use it. As for why they couldn’t use it, I am afraid that there is a soul in this sword, and it is unruly and difficult to tame.”

Now is not the time to talk about this. Su Tingyun is a little anxious. Master definitely broke Xiao Budian’s heart just now. He would usually lose his temper and quarrel with their Master, but this time he silently wiped his tears and walked away.

“Master, Xiao Budian, he…”

Zhan Yu raises a hand to interrupt Su Tingyun and continues, “It’s a good thing to know that sadness and regret. Although he’s used to raising a sword, he has always been reluctant to focus on it, thinking that holding the sword is the goal. I didn’t exert any strength just now, nor did I cast any spells, but I got his sword so easily, proving that he doesn’t cherish the sword seriously. After this, if he can repent, I will formally teach him swordsmanship.”

He coughs, “You’re old, you don’t need my lectures so much, but you also need to understand that you must cherish the sword like your life, you know? These days, just hold the sword and cultivate your relationship with it.”

Old, old…

Well, she must be forty now. This body also looks to be in her thirties or forties, so it’s actually in line with her real age.

Speaking of age, Su Tingyun asked her master somewhat secretively, “Master, how old is Little Uncle?”

“More than three hundred.” Zhan Yu replies casually, “When he was your age, he was already at the Golden Core.”

Su Tingyun: “…”

“Then why is he still at Golden Core now?”

“He is now on the fifth level of Golden Core. Do you think you’d be that powerful as soon as you step into Golden Core? Your Master, I…” Zhan Yu glares at Su Tingyun when he says that, “I don’t know what adventures you’ve had recently, that your advancement is also fast, but you must be careful. You must be steadfast in your cultivation, and don’t think about reaching the sky in one step. The same is true for Bai Chengyu. Your foundations are flimsy, and you have no ability to deal with things. Even if your cultivation is at the late stage of Tribulation Transcendent, you’ll be struck down by the Thunder Tribulation during ascension, and scatter into ashes. Be more like your Little Uncle, learn more from him!”

Su Tingyun nods and agrees, she’ll listen to Zhan Yu’s instructions, “Don’t concern yourself with other things later. Get more delicious food, and I’ll go see your junior brother.”

After saying that, Zhan Yu leaves in a hurry, Su Tingyun smiles. Her master still hurt Xiao Budian. She prepares the meal accordingly. After she’s done, she takes the sword and enters her room.

“Since no one knows your original name, how about I call you Springwater Sword?”

She looks at the slender flying sword, and softly suggests.

Spring water, teal like the sky, it suits this sword. It’s just that it’s a mystery why it was buried deep in the bottom of the lake and has never been discovered. Since they’ve come together by fate, she will cherish this sword properly, and use it to cultivate Haoran Righteousness, and she will stand tall in the future and be worthy of her heart.

As Su Tingyun sits down to cultivate, she places the Springwater Sword next to her and operates her spiritual energy for one large cycle. Just as she’s about to continue, she suddenly hears a soft cry.

It seems that the Springwater Sword is humming.

Soon after, Su Tingyun hears a noise in the Cleansing Sword Lake. She listens carefully, and suddenly hears a muffled groan.

Little Uncle!

It is late at night, the moon and stars are not bright, and Yan Yuqing has been cultivating swordsmanship at the bottom of the lake by himself.

Su Tingyun bursts out from her window. Scanning with her consciousness, sees Little Uncle’s upper body at the bottom of Cleansing Sword Lake. The flying swords down there have trapped him at the center like a sword array, and there are countless sword wounds on his body. Blood keeps pouring out, the bottom of the lake has become muddled, half the water is dyed red.
