Ying Bing pushed open her door, and the morning light streamed in with the gentle breeze, bathing her exquisite jade-like face in a flowing glow.
Her recovery from a serious illness made her feel exceptionally light, and a rare sense of leisure shone in her serene eyes, like a Fairy descending to patrol the human world, making it hard to associate her with the previously sickly and delicate Ice Cube.
“Ying Bing, have you mostly recovered?”
Tian Xun was nineteen this year, actually a bit older than Ying Bing.
But Ying Bing’s tall figure, the cool aloofness in her eyes, and the damn oppressive feeling brought by her beauty and talent made her completely disregard the age difference.
She even wrote in her interview notebook: “Suggest the Baihua List rank from second place onwards from now on.”
“Mm.”
Ying Bing nodded slightly.
“It must be because of Li Shaoxia’s close care these past two days. I saw him stay by your side day and night, Ying Bing.”
“...Mm.”
Ying Bing’s eyelashes trembled slightly. The memory of a certain Li Mo’s ‘close care’ and the System’s punishment flashed through her mind. She couldn’t help but rub the boy with a large head’s forehead vigorously before her expression quickly returned to normal.
“It was indeed close care.”
Saying that, she gazed meaningfully at Li Mo, who had just emerged from the kitchen.
“...”
Li Mo’s steps faltered slightly, and he gave a light cough.
Li Mo’s mood was a bit complex. The Ice Cube’s illness (to be precise, food poisoning) was cured, and he breathed a sigh of relief, but on second thought... he didn’t know when he would see the Ice Cube in such a delicate, weak, and easily-toppled state again... “Fortunately, she recovered quickly, otherwise, with my youthful vigor, I would have been the first to give in.”
Li Mo nodded, telling Tian Xun so.
“I finally understand Senior Sister Shang and Senior Sister Qin.”
Tian Xun showed an expression of longing and excitement, lowering her head to write in her notebook again.
Words like ‘affectionate couple’ and ‘respectful as guests’ were visible under her pen... The daily life of Wangqi Xiaobawang and Han Xianzi √.
Her longing was because she was also a young girl, at an age where she was ignorant yet stirring with feelings of love, and she had just witnessed the beauty only found in storybooks.
“Let’s eat breakfast first.”
Li Mo’s peripheral vision caught the notebook, and goosebumps rose on the back of his neck. He quickly handed Tian Xun a bun.
Girl, things are probably, maybe, perhaps... not quite what you imagine.
Of course, there was no need to tell Tian Xun about this. Even if he did, she couldn’t write it in her interview, and even if she wrote it, she couldn’t publish it. Ouyang’s last picture book had overly good content and he was almost arrested by the authorities.
Hmm, this was for Tian Xun’s bright future.
And Li Mo didn’t really have much time to deal with Tian Xun’s interview, so he just let her write whatever she saw.
Now, besides the promotion ceremony, there were the Demon Summoning Sect and Lingxi Gate eyeing them covetously, and most importantly, the engagement banquet.
The next day. freёweɓnovel.com
As the autumn breeze brought coolness, more and more Jianghu figures arrived at Qingyuan Sect. The emergence of a Zhen Prefecture Sect was no small change to the landscape of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and people came from all directions.
Even the Western Regions Buddhist Sect, Overseas Penglai, and North Seal Heavenly Blade sent representatives.
Firstly, it was a show of overt respect for a Zhen Prefecture Great Sect; secondly, it was to test how much hidden power this Sect, established on the Dashang Royal Mausoleum, possessed beyond its younger generation.
Many came openly, but not a few came in secret.
For example, assassins from the Rain Listening Pavilion, Yao Race from the Southern Borders, demonic cultivators from the Demon Summoning Sect, and so on... A promotion ceremony naturally involved sparring.
At this moment, the area in front of the main peak’s grand hall was quite lively.
Of course, these were Disciples of the younger generation; it wasn't yet time for the elders to exchange martial arts.
“Brother, take this move from me.”
Ouyang wielded his ink brush, leaving ink traces in the Void Realm.
The ink traces transformed into fierce tigers and flying beasts, each a lifelike exotic beast with a powerful aura.
However, the sorrowful-faced swordsman opposite merely said a faint ‘Not bad’, and then a flash of blade light was seen and gone.
The ink-painted exotic beasts all disintegrated.
Ouyang could only cup his hands and concede defeat.
To be honest, Qingyuan Sect did not have an advantage in the sparring of the younger generation.
Mainly because Li Mo and Ying Bing were not present, and without them, Qingyuan Sect’s new generation still had a considerable gap compared to the Disciples of true Great Sects.
It gave people the impression that Qingyuan Sect did not seem to have the grandeur of a Zhen Prefecture Great Sect... Ouyang, a Great Disciple of one peak, couldn’t even last three moves against the successor of the Tang clan of the Heavenly Blade.
“I’ll go!”
Xiao Qin stepped onto the stage at this moment, unleashing a sword strike that swept like a hurricane. If not for the special Formation Restriction on the arena, several miles around would have been scorched earth.
Opposite him was a sorrowful-faced swordsman, whose eyes lit up at the sight. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
“I didn’t expect Qingyuan Sect, besides Li Mo and Ying Bing, to have a character like you. Let’s fight three hundred rounds!”
The two went back and forth on the arena, drawing continuous cheers from below.
Ouyang clicked his tongue in wonder: “That Tang Liu was unheard of before, but he’s clearly very formidable. Junior Brother Xiao is actually fighting him to a draw.”
“Lao Xiao has made great progress recently.”
Li Mo nodded, chewing on an ice pop.
“The heroes of this world are truly as numerous as carps crossing a river.”
Ouyang’s tone was a bit desolate.
Well, this made him feel less embarrassed. It was absolutely ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) not because he was too weak, but because his opponent was too strong.
After his lament, he spoke earnestly:
“Junior Brother Li, although you have achieved success and fame now, you must also understand the truth that there is always someone better out there.”
“No matter how much you Breakthrough, one day you might encounter new strong peers who are enough to be your opponents, or even those in a higher Realm than you. At such times, you will need to fight above your Realm.”
Ouyang had read many storybooks, and they all wrote it this way.
No matter how much the protagonist became stronger, new peer prodigies would always emerge, and then the protagonist would Breakthrough in battle, counter-attack in adversity... Overcoming the strong with the weak, rising against the tide, seemed to be an eternal theme in storybooks.
“Senior Brother Ouyang is right about that.”
Li Mo was not a proud and arrogant person, and Ouyang’s words made him feel a bit eager to try.
Just at this moment.
Lao Xiao on the stage was ultimately a hair short and lost to the young swordsman.
“Thank you for the match.”
The sorrowful swordsman showed a tear-like smile. The Tang family had been in North Seal for generations, and he had never even attended the Qianlong Assembly.
Now it seemed, he was still a prodigy among his peers.
The compliments from the crowd and the approving looks from the elders filled his heart with heroic spirit.
So he channeled Qi into his Dantian:
“Who else!”
“Brother, how dare he?” From the Penglai Sect side, Ning Jue looked on with a pained expression.
“When people are showing off, they don’t have brains. Eat, eat...”
Ning Que waved his hand, having no interest in participating in the so-called sparring or showing his face.
Because he had just seen... “I’m here too!”
