I began to understand the myriad things by chopping wood

Chapter 134: Living with the Grandmaster (Part )

Xie Yuan was stunned when he heard this.

Then he suddenly realized that the escort agency had chosen Chunjiang Tower as the venue for the celebration banquet today. Did Shen Longteng have this intention?
During the day, the escort agency fell into a trap at the King Kong Gate. Although there was a 99% chance that Boss Wu would not cheat, they went to the "former" King Kong Gate venue to celebrate their success. Although they looked very proud, there were still some hidden dangers. At least they felt uneasy.

In addition to displaying the results of victory in Chunjiang Tower, Yunzhao's iconic territory, there is another reason, which is Shen Longteng asking Xie Yuan about the Yunshan Sword Sect?

Xie Yuan was touched and clasped his fists and said:

"Xie Yuan is extremely grateful for the Chief Escort's kindness."

Shen Longteng waved his hand:

"It's okay, your achievements are worthy of this.

"The Yunshan Sword Sect is extremely powerful and is the undisputed number one sect in Yunzhou. Looking at all the sects in Yunzhou, big and small, none of them have any objection to this title. They have all been overwhelmed.

"In the Yunshan Sword Sect, the heads and elders of each academy must be at least Grandmasters. Grandmasters outside are like dragons that are hard to find, and are rarely seen by ordinary people, but they are not uncommon inside. And the elite disciples in the inner courtyard are all in the Qi and Blood Transformation Realm."

Shen Longteng said this and laughed at himself:
"These elite disciples are only half my age or even younger, but their strength is much better than mine. As for those who have practiced three or four times, if they were outside, they could be well-known martial artists or local bosses; in those sects, they can only be ordinary disciples, squeezed in the outer gate, sleeping on a big bunk, and practicing hard day and night.

"Such a huge sect has countless top-notch skills, magical weapons, and mysterious magic treasures. As long as you have the qualifications, you can find your own way in it, leading directly to the realm of the Second Bridge of Heaven and Earth, and even higher. The Yunshan Sword Sect is indeed full of talented people. Even in the East Sea Sword Contest, its ranking is not low. Looking at the Dali Dynasty, it is only below the top few.

"This is the strength of the Yunshan Sword Sect. With such a foundation, countless young talents in Yunzhou are scrambling to join the sect. After all, as long as you can join this sect, no matter the teachers, friends, skills or resources, they are all top-notch, and your future achievements are almost limitless. Therefore, the competition for entry is so fierce that it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a thousand troops crossing a single-plank bridge. But with your talent, I think this is not a problem.

"Xie Yuan, you can think about it for a while. Tell me when you have made up your mind. Of course, I still hope you can stay in the escort agency for a while... Haha, it all depends on you. You have the greatest autonomy in all matters in the escort agency."

Xie Yuan respectfully saw Shen Longteng off, feeling slightly moved.

Shen Longteng's words almost placed him above all the escort leaders, and his status in the escort agency was special.

It is normal to receive such a reward for saving the Escort Agency from a trap and wiping out its biggest rival, the Vajra Sect.

However, Xie Yuan would not brag about his achievements. He is not the kind of person who acts so superficially.

You should eat when you should eat, drink when you should escort, and respect your elders when you should respect them. At most, you may need to retreat and practice sometimes and be a little lazy.

As for the Yunshan Sword Sect...

Xie Yuan took note of this matter and would learn more about it later.

Such a large sect must have various secret manuals of martial arts and treasure inheritances, which would be of great help to him in improving his strength.

With his talent, the more skills he has, the better.

But the waters of the big sects are also deep. Xie Yuan himself has his own secrets, and he joined in the middle. Whether to go or not, he has to think carefully.

Walking to the gate of his own courtyard, Xie Yuan's eyelids drooped. The current problem was still here...

He carried the food box and the demon tiger bone, looked at the night sky, and the moon was already at its zenith.

Today is the fifteenth day of the lunar month. The full moon is shining brightly, casting a silver glow, but the starry sky is invisible.

Xie Yuan thought about it, silently used the Heavenly Hidden Technique, and gently opened the door silently.

He walked into the room quietly, then turned into the inner room, wanting to see if Mu Chaoyun was still there - he was not sure whether he wanted her to be there or not.

If he wasn't there, he would have one less big trouble, and no longer have to worry about whether a master would suddenly come and kill him, although according to her the possibility was not high;

If I were here, with the Grandmaster by my side, I might be able to learn a lot of knowledge, about martial arts, or the Yunshan Sword Sect, etc., and there is also hope for the progress of the Black Heaven Book, which is a great treasure.

Mu Chaoyun was recuperating from her injuries. Seeing that it was getting late, Xie Yuan did not dare to make any noise when he returned home, so as not to disturb her rest. Mu Chaoyun had a cold personality, mysterious behavior, and unpredictable attitude. When she stayed with the master, Xie Yuan felt like he was accompanying a tiger.

He quietly walked around the screen and went to the inner room. When he looked at the couch, he saw Mu Chaoyun, still in his black robe, lying on his side with his nostrils flaring and his red lips tightly pursed, as if he was sleeping.

Hey, wait?

Xie Yuan stood there in a daze, and suddenly discovered that the hood that seemed to grow on Mu Chaoyun's head had been lifted up.

This was the first time he saw the true appearance of this mysterious female master.

Mu Chaoyun's long satin hair was spread out, cascading down from her neck like a waterfall and falling into her tunic. She had a small head, an oval face, brows like distant mountains, and long, curled eyelashes on her closed eyes. Her nose was pointed and straight, her red lips were small and thin, and her jaw was tightened, making her look a little pointy and thin.

Her facial features are exquisite and perfect, without any superfluous or flaws, and the lines are distinct, as if they were carved by nature. They can only be found in heaven and not on earth.

Xie Yuan had only seen Situ Qin who could match her appearance.

But Mu Chaoyun's beauty is a little bit sharp, which makes people's heart beat faster and dare not look at her closely. Situ Qin looks more gentle and playful. Although she is very noble, she is not very old after all.

However, Mu Chaoyun’s skin was so pale that it was almost transparent. His tightly closed eyes were trembling slightly, and his light eyebrows were furrowed, as if he could not find peace even in his dreams, which made people’s hearts tighten.

Xie Yuan stared at it for a while, and his heart skipped a beat.

It turns out that this woman is so beautiful.

He glanced down quietly. Even though Mu Chaoyun was curled up in a wide robe, her curves were still very tempting. The curves were tightly concave at the waist, and then they rose up to a peak, followed by long legs. Even though she was curled up and covered by the robe, her legs were still incredibly long. Mu Chaoyun was already very tall, and the proportions of her legs were even more outstanding.

Xie Yuan wanted to be a gentleman, but his eyes didn't want to. Although he had spent several days with Situ Qin for desensitization training, he couldn't get enough of the beauty, not to mention that this was a beauty who was not inferior to Situ Qin, but had a completely different style. He turned his eyes for a long time, then turned back to Mu Chaoyun's face, and then froze.

Just now, Mu Chaoyun closed his eyes and Xie Yuan was unable to take a close look at what those sharp pupils looked like, which was quite a pity. Now he can see enough.

Mu Chaoyun's eyes opened at some point, and her big eyes like a deep lake were staring at Xie Yuan quietly.

There were waves in the lake, and then there was endless coldness.

With a whoosh, Mu Chaoyun suddenly disappeared from the couch and appeared in front of Xie Yuan, with his slender index and middle fingers already on Xie Yuan's carotid artery.

"How did you sneak in?"

Mu Chaoyun's voice was icy cold.

Xie Yuan felt the two smooth fingers, but knew that she only needed to poke him lightly to kill him, so he dared not move and said with difficulty:
"Miss Mu, this seems to be my room..."

"I ask you, how did you sneak in?"

Mu Chaoyun's tone remained unchanged, but the coldness in his eyes deepened.

"It's the Heaven Hidden Technique. I used the Heaven Hidden Technique."

Xie Yuan swallowed his saliva and didn't dare to say another word.

Mu Chaoyun was stunned for a moment and said in a lost voice:
"Heavenly Hidden Art? How do you know the Heavenly Hidden Art?"

There was an expression of surprise on her beautiful face, as if she couldn't believe it.

"I realized it together with the sword technique that day."

Xie Yuan’s words are concise and to the point.

Mu Chaoyun stared at him, then slowly withdrew his hand and frowned:

"Why didn't you tell me before?"

"You didn't ask either... I was afraid that if I talked about this too much, you would think I had some plans for it."

When Xie Yuan saw the pair of fingers leave, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Mu Chaoyun was silent for a moment, then said calmly:
"In addition to swordsmanship, you have also comprehended the Heaven Hidden Art... The Eight Trigrams Lotus records an endless number of skills, but the Heaven Hidden Art is a top-level secret art that combines divination and concealment. Throughout history, there are countless people who have mastered this page of the Black Heavenly Book, and only a few have been able to comprehend this skill. It is definitely not something that ordinary people can obtain. Your talent... is not bad, and you are indeed destined to it."

She seemed to be trying her best to keep her tone calm, but the content of her words and the way she kept looking at Xie Yuan revealed her inner shock.

Xie Yuan smiled:

"It's normal. Didn't Miss Mu understand it? Are you praising yourself?"

Mu Chaoyun's eyes narrowed:
"Don't be so playful with me. Even if you know the Sky Hidden Technique, why would you use it when you just came in? Don't say it's for practice."

"You were healing, and I came back late. I was afraid of disturbing your rest and angering the Grandmaster. What if he poked my neck with his finger?"

Xie Yuan shook the food box in his hand:

"This is the food from Chunjianglou. It tastes great. Please have some. I guess you haven't had a good meal for a while."

When Mu Chaoyun heard that Xie Yuan was actually considering her, she was stunned for a moment, then she lowered her eyes and looked at the food box, and fell into silence.

Her body trembled slightly, and then her voice was cold:

"That sounds nice, but who knows if there's anything in your meal?"

Xie Yuan was stunned when he heard this, and said angrily and amusedly:
"Why would I poison you?"

"You just sneaked in, and your eyes were so reckless, you're clearly a pervert."

Mu Chaoyun's voice was cold, revealing disgust.

Xie Yuan suddenly felt a little embarrassed, not knowing how to explain. He opened his mouth, but saw Mu Chaoyun snorted coldly and looked at his other hand:

"Demon tiger bone? Not bad, this thing can help me heal my wounds, I think you are thoughtful."

She waved her hand and took the tiger bone directly without even looking at the food box.

Xie Yuan opened his mouth wide, wanting to say something, but he stopped himself. He saw Mu Chaoyun looking at him fiercely:
"what happened?"

"nothing……"

Xie Yuan sighed.

Forget it, now that the things are in the hands of the Grandmaster, can we get them back?
He put the lunch box aside dejectedly and went to fetch some water to wash up.

Mu Chaoyun looked at Xie Yuan's back, his eyes flashed, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and then quickly suppressed them.
