Chapter 129: Shocking! The Big Senior Brother Turns Out to be a Trend-chaser!

Even as his disciple, little is known about the master’s past.

The reason for his mystery is his age. He lived for so long that no one knows his actual age anymore.

Therefore, it is hard to tell whether the master’s former acquaintances were from hundreds or thousands of years ago…

Just when Lu Xun wanted to press for more information, he was interrupted by the master.

The master took a sip of hot tea, leisurely saying, “Leaving it on the mountain merely provides Little Chan with another choice, another option for her future journey of cultivating the Natural Sword Embryo.”

Lu Xun picked up the tea pot on the table and began to pour tea for the master.

Still gazing at the moon, the master said, “It’s a good thing she didn’t pick up

The Sword Qi is Near. The world already has a Yan Li. We don’t need a second.”

Fireflies danced around them. The master raised his hand, and a firefly alighted on his raised orachis, exuding charm.

Lu Xun asked, “Master, do you mean to say that if Lin Chan acquired The Sword Qi is Near, she can only walk the same path as the eldest brother?”

“Correct.” The master nodded.

He waved his hand, shooing away the firefly that had landed on his pinky, then continued, “Do you know why this is?”

Lu Xun pondered for a moment then tentatively responded, “Because The Sword Qi is Near is already a sword at its limit?”

“You are quick-witted.” The master praised Lu Xun, an affirmation of his guess.

Mao Nanbei had mentioned to Lu Xun a phrase said by the master—there is no end to techniques, but there are limits to things.

With the Sword Cultivating Technique, the eldest brother has brought The Sword Qi is Near to its limit. This could potentially restrict Lin Chan’s path as a Sword Cultivator.

Lu Xun did not fully understand this, but since the master stated it so confidently, it surely would have some effect on Lin Chan.

The Broken Sword, in contrast to The Sword Qi is Near, barely had a hint of Sword Spirit left, representing the extreme opposite.

For the Broken Sword, Lin Chan essentially reformed its Sword Spirit, giving new life to this dying sword!

While Lu Xun did not know how this would impact the path of cultivation, there was no reason for the master to harm Lin Chan. Thus, these changes might represent a great opportunity for her!

Not to mention, even the rewards given by the Guide Mission were so abundant that there was no way they could be wrong!

The master seemed reluctant to discuss who this old acquaintance was, so Lu Xun did not press further, not wanting to upset the master. However, he did think that he should at least know the name of the Broken Sword. Thus, he asked, “Master, what is the name of this Broken Sword?”

Gazing at the night sky, the master showed a gentle smile on his face. “I helped name this sword.”

“It’s called Partridge Sky.” he said softly.

Inside the house, Lin Chan had her eyes closed, practicing the Qi Consumption Technique. She was oblivious to the outside world.

Little Mute didn’t even know that his beautiful master had exited her seclusion.

As the master pronounced the name of the Broken Sword, the sword that Lin Chan had placed on the table trembled slightly.

Outside the small study, Lu Xun quietly repeated the name of the Broken Sword several times, then asked, “Why does it, like The Sword Qi is Near and Wind Stabilizing Wave, also share referenced terms from poetic meter?”

He didn’t think it was a coincidence.

The master nonchalantly replied, “Naturally, your eldest brother’s role model is me, so he learned my way of naming. Little Yan Shu was raised by your eldest brother. Her role model is him, so she naturally learned his way of naming.”

Lu Xun:

So there’s a lineage to this?

Or should I say…is it just following the trend?

After thinking back, Lu Xun remembered that the Partridge Sky poetic meter is fairly well-known with many beautiful poems and verses.

Such as “On the river’s edge, the turmoil is not yet hazardous, but the hardships of life in this world make the path tough!” from Xin Qiji’s “Partridge Sky: Seeing Someone Off.”

Xin Qiji also wrote “Partridge Sky: Writing on Someone’s Behalf” using the same meter, with the famous line “If there is no regret deep in my eyes, I wouldn’t believe there are white-haired old men in this world.”

Xin Qiji is one of Lu Xun’s favorite poets. He has written numerous verses using this poetic meter and Lu Xun has memorized quite a few.

Therefore, he really liked this name.

Lu Xun poured another cup of hot tea for the master, then asked, “Master, if

Little Chan diligently cultivates the Sword Cultivating Technique, won’t the

Sword Spirit of Partridge Sky gradually strengthen?”

The master involuntarily looked at him. Seeing Lu Xun’s face, he bristled and turned back, irascibly said,

“Aren’t you practicing the Sword Cultivating Technique? The small sword in your Sword Heart has aspects similar to Sword Spirits. Do you still not understand?”

Lu Xun was dumbfounded:

On reflection, it seemed true. His Sword Cultivating Technique had changed in such circumstances, the small sword inside his Sword Heart could also keep growing. So, the Broken Sword should work in the same way.

After understanding these points from the master, Lu Xun felt reassured. This also allowed him to fulfill his responsibility as Lin Chan’s master.

After the master drank a few more sips of hot tea, he went back to his room to rest.

All along, the master had not looked at Lu Xun a second time. Lu Xun began to wonder. Did the master think he looked better from his side profile, which is why he always talked to Lu Xun with a sideways body? Or was this his way of flaunting his jawline while gazing at the sky at a 45-degree angle?

“Could he be trying to show off?” Lu Xun wondered.

What was regrettable was that despite his rapid cultivation speed, the master did not show any surprise or disbelief. He did not mention it even once. This disappointed Lu Xun who was yearning for a compliment from his master. He even considered upgrading himself right in front of his master.

“Perhaps in the master’s eyes, my cultivation speed isn’t that fast?” Lu Xun thought to himself.

He wondered how long the predecessor that the master mentioned had taken to break through to the first layer, especially given that he was practicing the Five Elements too.

Now, only Lu Xun, Zhuge Lai Fu, and Mao Nanbei remained by the wooden table.

Mao Nanbei had been daydreaming for a while. Chewing on his hand, he seemed lost in thought.

Meanwhile, the third eldest brother gestured to the tea pot and asked, “Little junior brother, do you still want some tea?”

“If the third eldest brother wants to drink, this little junior brother would love to keep him company.” Lu Xun said with a smile.

Third eldest brother nodded and began to proficiently re-brew the tea.

Watching his movements, Lu Xun casually dropped a line,

“Third eldest brother, the paper crane you brought out the other day looked a lot like the one fourth eldest sister had. Are they the same thing?”
