‘Sword Qi Near’ was the sword’s name.
This name looked somewhat strange. After all, it was a very neglected tune name.
However, it was important to know that these two words ‘Sword Qi’ in the name wasn’t the meaning that it had in the tune’s name. But it was truly a real sword qi, specifically speaking, it was Yan Li’s sword qi.
If his sword qi was already close, you were naturally already dead.
His sword was the fastest in the world, it could approach you at the fastest speed… so once the sword was drawn, the opponent was certainly dead!
This was what ‘Sword Qi Near’ meant!
The most valuable treasure was placed on the Harbor Mountain, it wasn’t even concealed in any way. Every person who ascended onto the Harbor Mountain would be able to see it.
In his previous life in ‘Heavenly Earth’, there were still no players who could bring it down from the Harbor Mountain.
Did Lu Xun have ideas about this sword? Naturally, he did.
However, he also had second thoughts about it, “I can’t hold a sword though, can I?”
Yes, the small sword inside his Heart of the Sword was still there. It was as if he was destined to have no connection with all other swords.
‘I’ll see what the situation is when the time comes.’ Lu Xun thought.
He felt a sense of urgency at the thought of players descending for Alpha testing, this was why he set the time for his visit tomorrow. Tomorrow, he would go to the Harbor Mountain to try his luck and see if he could obtain any good equipment for free.
‘It’s time to check out my face!’ Lu Xun felt he was probably quite lucky.
“Then, I shall come and pick up Little Uncle-Master tomorrow.” Shen Yan took the initiative to be the Didi driver again.
After a few more words, these bunch of shameless old people got up and bid farewell.
They would also gather at night to admire the full moon and drink wine. All the while doing so, in passing, they would chat about the embarrassing incidents and gossip in their adolescence.
The Demon Sect’s conduct was just like this from top to bottom, they never had the image of venerables and were quite vulgar and lowly.
…
…
After Shen Yan and the peak masters left, Cat Southnorth drove Lu Xun into the kitchen.
Many ingredients were prepared today, there were even quite a lot of crabs.
In reality, during the Mid-Autumn festival, the 15th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, it wasn’t considered the best time to eat crabs.
As the saying goes, ‘nine females ten males’, this meant that the ninth month of the lunar calendar was the best time to eat female crabs, while the tenth month of the lunar calendar was the best time to eat male crabs.
It was mainly just a novelty to eat it a little earlier than what the saying entailed.
Inside the kitchen, Little Ji Li had already been busy for a long while.
She was once the daughter of an affluent family anyhow, so, she was used to being served by servants at home.
During the Mid-Autumn festivals in the past, she only had to wait for the meal. This was the first time she came into the kitchen to help with something like this.
To be reduced from a wealthy heiress to an assistant cook, it was reasonable to say that there should have been a disparity. However, she was quite diligent in her work, and even somewhat happy, maybe because this was a matter that Lu Xun instructed her to do.
“Do you know how to cook?” Lu Xun asked.
“Ah, no.” Ji Li responded honestly.
“Then watch from the sidelines, I’ll show you,” Lu Xun said with a smile.
While cutting the vegetables, he chatted with Ji Li on the side, “With your aptitude, you will probably become an inner sect disciple in no time, have you given any thoughts on which main peak you’re going to—who you’re going to acknowledge as a master?”
Ji Li was foolish while Lu Xun was meticulous. He could easily tell that no matter whether it was Shen Yan or the other peak masters, all of them wanted to take Ji Li in as a disciple.
“What?” Ji Li was temporarily at a loss, she honestly didn’t think that far ahead.
She wasn’t a girl who especially liked to think—she was a pear with all that water concentrated in her brain, it seemed that contemplation was of no use anyway.
Since Lu Xun asked, she would try hard to think about it right now.
After she gave it some thought for quite a while, she suddenly said:
“Can I… can I acknowledge you as my master?”
The hand which Lu Xun was using to cut vegetables abruptly stopped, he was dumbfounded.
“Only you would really dare to think that!” Lu Xun laughed out of her stupidity.
No matter whether it was Shen Yan or the peak masters, all of them were big shots in the cultivation world. Their strengths were all at the summit, they could teach Ji Li many things.
As for Lu Xun?
His cultivation was only one layer higher than Ji Li at the moment. In addition to that, he didn’t even research cultivation techniques at all. He merely relied on a button to level up, what could he teach her? Well… he could probably teach her how to sweet-talk and plan maliciously.
‘This little girl is purely craving my body!’ Lu Xun was speechless at this number one face fan.
Speaking of which, if ‘that’ really happened between a master and a disciple, it would seem to be quite taboo. But if it were with the Little Great Uncle-Master, it would seem to be even more taboo.
And quite strangely, none of the senior brothers and sisters of the Rear Mountain had any intentions of accepting disciples.
Apart from the Eldest Senior Brother who founded the Demon Sect, all the other senior brothers and sisters didn’t have any disciples under their wing—all of Cat Southnorth’s thoughts were on subduing a mount…
‘As for myself…’ Lu Xun pondered for a few seconds, ‘Players are probably a pretty good choice.’
After all, players were also trash that leveled up with a single button, they weren’t so different from him. They only needed missions, once their experience value was full, they would naturally level up.
It was possible that as he accepted more disciples, he might even be extolled for being a famous master of the generation!
With these thoughts in mind, Lu Xun couldn’t help but smile.
Lu Xun made quite a casual meal for lunch while he made quite a sumptuous meal for dinner.
It was the first time Ji Li ate at the Rear Mountain, she wanted to eat every single dish that Lu Xun made.
As to what exactly the Second Senior Sister liked to eat, Lu Xun didn’t know. It was mainly because she didn’t like to speak and never actively spoke to Lu Xun about the kind of dishes she wanted to eat.
On the other hand, there were too many things that Cat Southnorth liked to eat. Since it couldn’t all be made at once, Lu Xun only picked and chose a few dishes that he also liked to eat.
The lolita now rejoiced that she had a Little Junior Brother like this. In the past, Third Senior Brother was usually the one who cooked. He was obsessed with the culinary arts, however, he was just awful at it! Even pigs couldn’t get used to eating the things he made, let alone this kitty!
The sky had gone dark and the full moon was on duty. Countless people would raise their heads to admire it today. Many gifted scholars were probably prepared to recite poetry.
Ji Li and Cat Southnorth looked quite uncultured, while the Second Senior Sister was chilly. It would be dull to show off in front of her. Otherwise, Lu Xun would probably be a plagiarist for once, he would look up at the moon while he recited ‘Water Melody’ poetry, something that plagiarists would definitely copy.
A bamboo forest, a bright moon, a table of delicious food, and a couple of good friends.
The atmosphere of the Mid-Autumn Festival came out just like this.
“How comfortable~”
After eating their fill, Lu Xun and Cat Southnorth leaned against a large bamboo as usual, they rubbed their protruding bellies in a clockwise direction. However, they had an extra member now, Ji Li also joined in today.
The night wind of the autumn days blew past, it felt refreshing.
He looked at the Second Senior Sister’s back view and thought, ‘Did I make her a little fatter? It seems just a tiny bit, but it doesn’t seem apparent.’
‘The feeding plan can’t be stopped!’
Second Senior Sister sat on the large rock, she started to speak on her own accord once in a blue moon, “Are you… you going to ascend the Harbor… Harbor Mountain tomorrow?”
“Yes.” Lu Xun nodded.
Currently, he only had a storage ring in his equipment box, this was too pitiful. It made him quite happy to be able to go to the Harbor Mountain to get a suitable equipment for free.
Not to mention, the ‘Sword Qi Near’ was on the mountain. He also wanted to take a good look at it.
“Then… take this with… with you.” Second Senior Sister took out something from her own storage ring and threw it towards Lu Xun.
