novelA Disciple of the Sword Garret, Hiding a Blade behind His Smile
| ← Ch.191 | Ch.193 → |
From afar, he saw a figure that was moving rapidly.
The figure was dressed in Sword Pavilion attire and held a long sword in his hand.
There was a delicate and pretty look between his brows. It was obvious that he was not Xuan Lingzi.
The disciple of the Sword Pavilion seemed to be anxious, as if he had encountered some trouble.
Looking at the direction the figure was moving in, his goal was the same as Su Yi, which was the huge crack on the ground.
Even if it was not Xuan Lingzi, the other party's identity made him wary. Seeing the person's clothes, he was hesitant whether he should go up and greet him.
However, the other party was obviously a disciple of the Sword Pavilion. His relationship with the Sword Pavilion was so bad, who knew if the other party would directly draw his sword to kill him?
Seeing this, he shook his head slightly and did not plan to interact with the disciple of the Sword Pavilion anymore. He immediately changed his direction and observed the cracked surface of the ground.
However, he did not want to interact, but the disciple of the Sword Pavilion had clearly seen him. Immediately, he also changed his direction and rushed to where he was.
When he saw that the other party had changed his direction, he immediately frowned. The true essence in his body rose faintly, and he was already prepared to fight.
Heaven knew if the other party had come to pick a fight with him. After all, the enmity between the Sword Pavilion and him was very great.
However, who knew that the other party had actually put away his weapon and came before him to speak first.
"Fellow Daoist, please wait!"
The shout of a fellow Daoist caused him to be slightly startled. Seeing the other party put away his weapon, could it be that the other party had not come to fight?
He turned around and saw that the other party had a somewhat happy expression on his face. That smile that was like a spring breeze was faintly lifted on the corner of his mouth, appearing just like a harmless person.
His brows were slightly raised before he coldly asked, "what is it?"
The other party did not seem to change his expression because of his tone. Instead, he continued to smile like a spring breeze.
The other party replied indifferently, "fellow Daoist, this forbidden land is so big. Why don't we travel together so that we can have someone to communicate with?"
Hearing this, he narrowed his eyes and stared at the other party, as if he was trying to read his mind.
Unfortunately, the other party's eyes were extremely pure. There were no strange or evil thoughts flashing through them.
He could not see what the other party was thinking, so he could only reply indifferently, "you want to travel together? Do you know who I am?"
When he said these words, his gaze did not shift away from the other party's face, but he still could not see anything.
The other party's expression was always kind and sincere from the beginning to the end. There was no flaw to speak of.
The other party first carefully observed Su Yi, and then a surprised expression appeared on his face.
He stretched out his hand and pointed at him lightly, "you are that Su Yi?!"
Hearing the other party's surprised tone, he lightly snorted. The muscles on his body tensed up, and he even entered into battle mode.
The other party clearly did not recognize him before, and now that he recognized him, it was likely that a battle was about to occur.
However, the other party was only surprised. He did not move his body, nor did he draw his magic weapon.
He revealed a helpless expression and said, "so it's fellow Daoist Su Yi..."
He did not seem to have any intention of making a move.
This made him feel even more puzzled. Could it be that this person did not know about the grudge between him and the third elder of the Sword Pavilion?
When the other party saw him putting on a battle stance, he sighed helplessly and said indifferently, "fellow Daoist Su Yi, I think you might have misunderstood. I'm not here to seek revenge against you."
"Not to seek revenge?" He frowned in puzzlement. In his opinion, what else could his relationship with the Sword Pavilion be other than one of life and death?
Moreover, he had previously made a bold statement on the Giant Lizard Island. If he did not die, the Sword Pavilion would definitely die. He had not forgotten this point.
When a person treats me well, he should return the favor like a gushing spring. If a person kills me and I do not die, I will return the favor a thousand times over. This was Su Yi's personality.
However, now, as a disciple of the Sword Pavilion, he actually said that he was not here to seek revenge? How ridiculous.
Even if the other party's expression and attitude did not seem like he was lying, the enemy's words could never be trusted.
For now, let's see what tricks the other party wanted to play. Perhaps he can learn more about this forbidden land from the other party's mouth.
After hearing Su Yi's doubts, the other party helplessly sighed and said indifferently, "fellow Daoist Su Yi, the enmity between you and our Sword Pavilion is none other than that third elder."
"Back then, you shattered his best friend's immortal destiny seal. It is inevitable that hatred will arise."
"The third elder is merely the third elder of our Sword Pavilion. He definitely can not represent our Sword Pavilion."
"To be honest, the enmity between the third elder and fellow Daoist Su Yi is something that even our Sword Pavilion master opposes."
"In fact, our Sword Pavilion even thought of befriending a genius like fellow Daoist Su."
He quietly listened to the other party's helpless sigh. From what he heard, the grudge between him and the Sword Pavilion was all because of that Xuan Lingzi.
Apparently, he did not have any deep enmity with the Sword Pavilion at all.
He fixed his gaze on the other party and asked in return, "so you're saying that there is no hatred between me and the Sword Pavilion, and everything is because of Xuan Lingzi's thoughts?"
"Yes, fellow Daoist Su Yi, you can also understand it this way."
The other party's expression and attitude were very natural, as if it was exactly like this.
His eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was thinking about something, and then he chuckled, "I see, I'm the one who's nervous. May I ask how I should address you, brother?"
He relaxed his body and withdrew all the true essence in his body, as if he had completely let down his guard.
After the other party heard this, he cupped his hands toward Su Yi and said, "fellow Daoist Su Yi, I am Xuan Yuan, a disciple of the great elder of the Sword Pavilion. When I heard the rumors about fellow Daoist Su Yi, I already had the intention to witness it. Now, it seems that fellow Daoist is just like the rumors, powerful and sincere and modest..."
After Xuan Yuan reported his name and background, he even praised his deeds.
This made the corners of his eyes twitch. This fellow had so many merits, how could he not know.
He looked at Xuan Yuan and saw that the other party seemed to continue to boast about his glorious deeds, so he hurriedly opened his mouth to interrupt him.
"Fellow Daoist Xuan Yuan, do you know what kind of situation this forbidden land is in?"
Xuan Yuan was stunned when he heard this. Then, he scratched his head in embarrassment and said indifferently, "this... fellow Daoist Su Yi, I'm not too sure about this forbidden land. I also wandered around for two days before I discovered that strange terrain."
After saying this, he pointed at the huge crack in the ground that they had wanted to explore.
