Free Web NovelThe noisy street suddenly fell silent.
Bai Jinghong, a Prodigy on the Qianlong Ranking and a true Disciple of Hengyun Sword City, would not even bow to a marquis.
Yet, he knelt right there on the street without the slightest hesitation.
Could it be the City Lord of Sword City who arrived?
Everyone turned around, only to see two women and one man standing there.
The young man was tall and upright, with a handsome and gentle face, looking relaxed. Beside him, one girl wore ill-fitting clothes, her eyes covered with a cloth strip, and her small face was delicate and full of Spiritual Qi.
The other girl had a cold demeanor, like a snow-mountain ice lotus, and her every gesture carried an implicit sense of authority.
“Who are they?”
“They seem much younger than Young Hero Bai.”
“Could that girl have an extraordinary background, causing Bai Jinghong to immediately bow his head upon seeing her?”
“She seems even more captivating than the Fairies on the Hundred Flowers Beauty Ranking...”
....
It is well known.
Those who travel the Jianghu are interested in nothing more than divine weapons, martial arts, and beautiful women.
The Ice Cube’s aura was too overbearing, successfully diverting the attention from Xiao Li.
Bai Jinghong knelt there, and after his initial bewilderment, he felt a wave of embarrassment.
It was a reflex, you see.
Now, getting up wasn't right, and continuing to kneel wasn't right either...
“Xiao Bai, yesterday you said your Sword Bone was unyielding, and you wanted to test your sword against all the heroes in the world. Why did you kneel as soon as you stepped out?”
Behind him, the green-robed swordsman surnamed Wu, curled his lips, a teasing smile playing on his face.
“Is this woman perhaps very strong?”
Another swordsman surnamed Cao narrowed his eyes, full of Battle Intent.
“I’m not kneeling to her!”
“Oh? I thought you saw her profound Sword Intent and couldn’t help but prostrate yourself.”
As a swordsman of the Guan Shen Realm.
Naturally, he was very sensitive to Sword Intent.
Jokes aside, both the swordsman surnamed Wu and the swordsman surnamed Cao were true Disciples of Hengyun Sword City, and they naturally perceived an aura around Ying Bing that made their hearts palpitate.
“Her Sword Intent is indeed formidable, but... forget it, you simply don’t understand!”
Bai Jinghong shook his head.
He couldn't help but recall the figure in the Blood Phoenix Secret Realm, wielding a hammer like a god or devil, smashing through the entire Secret Realm with one blow...
He was smiling, walking towards him!
“It was merely a small favor to save Brother Bai once.”
“I said long ago that Brother Bai is a man of strong emotions, but there’s no need to perform such a grand 禮 upon meeting.”
Xiao Li saw Bai Jinghong’s awkwardness and stepped forward to help him up.
“Cough, exactly, I am a very sentimental person.”
“Brother Li is right.”
Bai Jinghong stood up, speaking sheepishly.
“By the way, I have a letter to give to Brother Bai.”
“It concerns the safety of Yunzhou City, so please take it seriously, and it’s best to hand it over to your Sect’s Elder.”
Li Mo took out a letter from his embrace, which contained information about the Rain Listening Pavilion.
The Rain Listening Pavilion’s schemes were not small.
With a stroke of his pen, he might be able to change the fates of many people.
It wasn’t just for the reward; even without investment feedback, he would still do such a thing.
“Brother Li, rest assured!”
Bai Jinghong solemnly accepted it.
Cao and Wu, however, frowned.
Qingyuan Sect was decent enough in Ziyang Prefecture, but for Hengyun Sword City, it was a small Sect.
After Li Mo and the Qingyuan Sect members cupped their hands and departed.
True Disciple Wu finally frowned and spoke:
“Xiao Bai, your actions just now have diminished the prestige of our esteemed Sect.”
True Disciple Cao also nodded:
“The Sect has put in a lot of effort to build momentum for us.”
A person’s name, a tree’s shadow.
The more authoritative a Sect is, the stronger its control over the local area.
And besides the older generation of experts within the Sect, the reputation of the new generation of Prodigies is also very important, as it signifies the Sect’s future and its public face.
To build momentum for the three of them, they each undertook many deeds of eliminating evil and promoting good, and even hired Storytellers to continuously spread their stories for twelve hours a day.
Thus, the reputation of the Hengyun Three Heroes was forged.
“What do you two know?”
Bai Jinghong sneered coldly.
Didn’t you see my Brother Li pull out his hammer?
He turned and immediately # Nоvеlight # went to deliver the letter.
.....
Yunzhou City is now a gathering place for heroes, with countless young heroes seeking to make a name for themselves and leave behind their own stories every day.
Storytellers have suddenly become a booming industry.
But today, the most explosive news was Bai Jinghong’s kneeling.
Some said it was to thank a benefactor, some said it was an attack of old cold legs, and the more reliable explanation was that the three were true Prodigies from a hidden Sect.
Many people began to inquire about the identities of those three young men and women. freēwēbnovel.com
And seizing this opportune moment, a comic book titled “the overbearing female emperor falls in love with me” suddenly appeared!
The characters’ appearances couldn’t be said to resemble Li Mo and Ying Bing; they could only be described as identical. freewebnσvel.cѳm
No one knew which business genius was behind it...
.....
Hengyun Sword City.
The residence of the Foreign Affairs Elder.
A thin old man was drinking tea, his brows furrowed in displeasure.
Bai Jinghong and the other two were also in the hall.
“Elder Zeng, I have something I need you to look at...”
“Put other matters aside for now.”
Elder Zeng said sternly:
“Why did you do something so disgraceful to the Sect in public today?”
“I...”
“I don’t want to hear your explanation.”
Elder Zeng interrupted with a cold face. One could tell from his meticulously neat and proper luxurious robes that he was a person who valued his reputation immensely.
“Wu Chushu, Cao Mu, Bai Jinghong.”
“During the Sword Testing Assembly, the three of you must challenge those Qingyuan Sect Disciples.”
Wu Chushu and Cao Mu both confidently agreed.
Bai Jinghong’s mouth was bitter, and he quickly said:
“Then... I’ll challenge that little girl with the cloth strip...”
“The little girl with the cloth strip?”
At this moment, a questioning female voice sounded from the doorway.
Elder Zeng quickly stood up and bowed respectfully, his face filled with deference.
“Walker, why have you come?”
Stepping through the door were a pair of jade-like bare feet, golden bells jingling softly on her ankles, and a jade plate hanging from her waist.
Her face was serene, yet her eyes were as obscure as a deep pool, as if countless lines intersected within them.
The Yantian Sect Walker.
Her eyes turned to Bai Jinghong:
“What are the characteristics of those Qingyuan Disciples you just mentioned?”
.........
As the date of the Martial Arts Summit drew closer, Yunzhou City became increasingly lively.
Shen Yunfei, Xu Zhiqing, and others all felt the pressure, spending every day verifying their martial arts and practicing diligently.
Li Mo, on the other hand, spent his days with the Ice Cube and his evenings with Xiao Jiang.
In his free time, he would observe God Realm.
The eastern sky was faintly lit.
Li Mo sheathed his sword and stood still.
Having consumed a large amount of Martial Arts Comprehension, his Dugu Nine Swords had reached the threshold of initial mastery.
The result of the last deduction was:
【Dugu Nine Swords, defeating all heroes. You know you can no longer work behind closed doors. You must point your sword at the heroes, using their swords as whetstones to forge the astonishing sharpness within your heart!】
