Chapter 68 It’s Fine to Stay at the Foot of the Mountain

Li Fuyao said that it didn’t matter, but in fact, when he went down the mountain, he thought that if he met Qing Huai in the future, he wouldn’t know what to say. Would he say with a smile in front of her that he didn’t reach the top of Sword Mountain and couldn’t cultivate on the mountain, but it was no big deal and he could practice swordsmanship as well?

 

But then that girl would surely say, “Li Fuyao, aren’t you capable? Why can’t you reach the top of Sword Mountain? So you are not capable. You said that you will try to make others have no nerve to bully me if I mention your name in the human world. So you just talked nonsense?”

 

Li Fuyao suddenly smiled with self-mockery. Qing Huai wouldn’t say that.

 

With that girl’s character, she would comfort him later and say, “Li Fuyao, even though you didn’t reach the top of Sword Mountain, it’s fine. If you can’t live a good life, just come to the demonic land. It will work if you mention my name.”

 

Li Fuyao shook his head in depression and the lantern swayed in his hand.

 

It made the path in front of him unclear.

 

Li Fuyao felt sad at this moment, like when he was sent out of Luoyang City to Baiyu Town that year. His home was in Luoyang City, but he couldn’t go back. At that night in winter, he hugged a bag of cold silver, but he didn’t feel grieved. He just believed that if he stayed alive, life would be wonderful.

 

But then he was more grieved than now.

 

Li Fuyao sighed for no reason.

 

He turned his head and looked at the mountain.

 

At the moment, a teenage boy who was in the sword grave as a punishment again waved his sword Landscape again and again. He shouted at the sword grave with sword Qi and sword intent everywhere, “Master, you are so heartless. There is no new comer in the past ten years, but you still didn’t let him in.”

 

Nobody answered him.

 

In fact, there were many swordsmen who paid attention to Li Fuyao on the mountain path and wondered if he still had a chance, but till he almost reached the foot of the mountain, that chance didn’t come.

 

When the depressed teenage boy Li Fuyao was near the foot of the mountain, he had calmed down. He walked slowly with the lantern in his hand and looked relieved. Nobody could see any frustration from him.

 

He even grabbed a wild grass next to the mountain path randomly and chewed the grass root in his mouth, feeling its bitterness. Then he showed a smile.

 

In front of the shabby temple at the foot of the mountain, after her sword Light Snow flew to her from the mountain, Xie Lu whose face was pale knew that her master who attached much importance to the word “rule” wouldn’t let Chen Sheng’s disciple stay on the mountain, so she grabbed Light Snow and was about to go to the mountaintop to reason with the old guy regardless of anything else. If she couldn’t reason with him, she would do it with the sword.

 

Liu Yibai reached out his hand to stop his junior sister apprentice and asked with a frown, “You don’t have a reason, but you still want to cause trouble. Don’t you want to stay alive?”

 

Xie Lu swallowed her fresh blood and didn’t let Liu Yibai see that. She snorted and prepared to unsheathe her sword, but Xian Chunan spoke and stopped her.

 

This swordsman who almost reached the Revelation Stage stated peacefully, “Xie Lu, if you insist on leaving this temple and going to the mountaintop, not to mention anything else, do you think that you can see our master?”

 

Xie Lu lowered her voice. “I forgot to tell that little guy about it, and he couldn’t reach the mountaintop because of this matter. Who is to blame except me?”

 

Liu Yibai patted Wild Grass on his waist and murmured, “Master is really cold-blooded.”

 

Xian Chunan sighed and shook his head.

 

As for something, no matter what he did, it would be useless, and he couldn’t change it.

 

Xie Lu suddenly said, “I don’t care. I want to have a try!”

 

Hearing that, Xian Chunan frowned, and Liu Yibai looked helpless.

 

But before they said something, a lantern showed up suddenly in the distance. Behind the dim light of the lantern was a teenage boy’s calm face.

 

The boy who climbed the mountain and didn’t bring anything but a lantern came to the shabby temple and looked at Light Snow in Xie Lu’s hand. He expressed happily, “I thought it disappeared. It turns out to be still here.”

 

Liu Yibai looked astonished and Xian Chunan was calm. Only Xie Lu stated impassively, “It’s my fault. You didn’t reach the top of Sword Mountain.”

 

Li Fuyao responded, “Oh.” His hand which lifted the lantern moved downward a bit. If somebody could see his other hand at his back clearly, he could find that his hand was trembling.

 

“Little man, you couldn’t reach the top of Sword Mountain, but you don’t care at all?” Liu Yibai was surprised.

 

Li Fuyao laughed. “I am out of luck. If I didn’t have a break on the mountain path for several hours, I might have reached the top. I didn’t reach the top of Sword Mountain, but it’s not that I can’t practice swordsmanship. I didn’t walk to the mountaintop, and it was a pity, but it’s not a matter of life and death. I won’t cry.”

 

Liu Yibai gave him a thumbs-up sign. “Bloke, you are carefree.”

 

Xie Lu threw Light Snow to Li Fuyao. “I will give this sword to you.”

 

At the mention of being carefree, nobody was more carefree than Xie Lu. She could give the heirloom, a famous sword to somebody as she liked, and Liu Yibai would never be so carefree. Moreover, he had nothing but a sword, so he was unwilling to give it to anybody else.

 

Li Fuyao caught Light Snow and soon gave it back to Xie Lu. Then he shook his head. “No need. Master…Xie, please keep it yourself.”

 

Xian Chunan who kept silent all the time looked at this lantern for a long time and suddenly expressed with a smile, “Stay at the foot of the mountain for a period. Practicing swordsmanship on the mountain is the same as practicing at the foot of the mountain.”

 

Liu Yibai suddenly patted his head and laughed. “It’s enough to learn swordsmanship at the foot of the mountain, and you don’t need to go to the mountaintop. When Xian was on the mountain, I didn’t see anybody teach him a lot, and now he is so powerful, right? Chen is more capable. He stayed on the mountain for only a few years, but he promotes his strength day by day.”

 

Xie Lu remembered that long ago, when that high-spirited and vigorous man went down Sword Mountain, he laughed and left. He didn’t lower his head or have other emotions. He just wanted to enjoy the scenery in the human world. He didn’t want to grow old and die on Sword Mountain. It was not because he was elbowed out or he didn’t want to marry Xie Lu.

 

However, no matter how she looked at this boy who was disappointed but pretended relaxed, he couldn’t compare with Chen Sheng’s carefree style. But Xie Lu didn’t dislike Li Fuyao who looked like this. He just had the stubbornness of the teenagers, and the teenagers’ youthful spirit couldn’t be lost. As for anything else, as long as she was worthy of the sword on her waist, Xie Lu didn’t want to care.

 

So since this moment, Xie Lu decided to teach Li Fuyao swordsmanship. There were many reasons, including that he was Chen Sheng’s disciple, and she made him fail in reaching the mountaintop, or she thought that his character was nice. Anyway, considering these reasons, she would teach him swordsmanship.

 

As for which stage this boy could enter in the future or who would kill him or whom he would kill, it had nothing to do with her.

 

What was in Xie Lu’s eyes was the road to becoming a Sword Immortal, and at most Chen Sheng was added. Anybody else was not worth mentioning.

 

She held Light Snow in front of her chest and giggled. “It’s fine that you don’t go to the mountaintop, and it’s the same if you practice swordsmanship at the foot of the mountain. I will teach you swordsmanship and won’t be inferior to Chen Sheng. Even if my way is not fit for you, these two masters are not bad.”

Liu Yibai nodded and echoed her. “Right, right. Anyway, we are free and it’s fine if we teach you swordsmanship. I would have been the top swordsman in the world if that thing didn’t happen that year. Besides Chao Qingqiu, I may be another Sword Immortal in the human world. And this Master Xian is more powerful. When he cultivated on the mountain, he was the number one in each test and outstanding on several paths of swordsmanship. His sword intent is pure, and the old master said that he had the style of the Sword Immortals in ancient times. If he teaches you swordsmanship, you will be much more promising than Chen Sheng.”

 

Xian Chunan pressed the short sword Hidden Fish on his waist and smiled peacefully. “Stay here for several years and then go to travel around the world. It will be nice.”
