Sword Qi to the Sky

Chapter 191 Su Chen's Purpose
Su Chen left with the sword cultivator beside him, and the party seemed to end unpleasantly because of Li Fan's interruption.

Li Fan was still sitting there. Yue Qingqiu looked at him, seeming a little confused. Why didn't he let her do it?
"The sword cultivator has strong attack power and he is quite powerful." Li Fan said, referring to the middle-aged sword cultivator behind Su Chen.

Apart from that, Su Chen was calm and confident. He came from the Dali Imperial City and was a descendant of a noble family. Did he have any other cards up his sleeve?

After all, he himself has a lot of trump cards, so naturally he has to consider the possibility that others have trump cards. He is not afraid of the other party. After all, with the sword's intention, he can be invincible.

But in that case, he would have exposed himself before confirming whether it was Su Chen who did it, because that would be a bit unfair to Su Chen.

Yue Qingqiu nodded slightly. She had now gradually understood some things about the human world.

"Humans are a little hostile towards you, but not all of them are like that. Don't take it too seriously." Li Fan said to Yue Qingqiu.

"I don't mind." Yue Qingqiu said softly, "I hope you don't mind."

Li Fan was stunned, looked at Yue Qingqiu and said with a smile: "We are friends, why would we care about this? Are you hostile to me just because I am a human?"

Yue Qingqiu seemed to understand and nodded slightly.

After Su Chen and his group left, more and more people came up here, and from time to time they cast their glances at Li Fan and his group. They were all a little curious about this arrogant "young master of aristocratic family" Zuo Tu.

The woman next to him is really stunning.

The place gradually became lively again. A figure walked towards Li Fan. It was Yan Qi.

"Yan Qi." The people around him also looked at him. Yan Qi was sitting outside the inn. Many people recognized him. It was rare to see a swordsman with such a solitary personality.

Such a sword cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage who has no power is even rarer.

"Brother Yan, is there anything I can do for you?" Li Fan asked when he saw Yan Qi approaching him.

"I just heard news outside that Su Chen entered the Qingyun List in order to become Li Chengying's disciple." Yan Qi said.

"Li Chengying, who ranks fifth on the Sword Saint List?" Li Fan looked at Yan Qi with a strange expression.

"Yes." Yan Qi nodded. "Li Chengying was originally from the Li family in the imperial city of the Dali Dynasty. He was obsessed with the way of the sword and traveled around the world. Later, he came to Chixiao City to seek the sword from Xuanyuan, but was defeated. At that time, Xuanyuan said that he had unlimited potential and would have a chance to enter the Sword Saint List in the future. Because he valued his talent, he did not kill him. Later, Li Chengying lived up to expectations and squeezed into the Sword Saint List. His ranking has been rising all the way to the fifth place on the Sword Saint List."

"Li Chengying and Xuanyuan are acquainted. It is said that he asked Xuanyuan about swordsmanship many times. He once said that as his sword skills became deeper, he knew more about Xuanyuan's strength. He also opened a sword training ground in Chixiao City. Many talented sword cultivators practiced in his training ground. The threshold for admission was to be a talented sword cultivator who had entered the Qingyun Ranking. Otherwise, no one would be accepted."

Although there are only thirty-six people on the Qingyun List, there is an age limit for the Qingyun List, and those who exceed the age limit will be removed from the Qingyun List. Therefore, the Qingyun List has changed many times over the generations.

Every generation has its own proud children.

These chosen ones are the entry threshold to Li Chengying's dojo.

From generation to generation, there have been many names on the Qingyun List, but to be included in the Famous Sword List is one in a million, let alone the Sword Saint List, which is the ultimate pursuit of sword practitioners in the world.

Li Fan had heard Lu Yuhuan introduce Li Chengying before. He was the fifth best swordsman in the world of Dali. Some people said that his strength had even surpassed that of Shi Dao Ren, who was ranked fourth.

However, Shi Dao Ren was missing, and the two had no actual combat experience, so the ranking was difficult to change.

There are also voices saying that Li Chengying has a chance to squeeze into the top three in the future.

Someone of Li Chengying's level is probably already above his own family.

"I just heard from the outside world that the Su family and the Li family have a past relationship, and Su Chen came here with the recommendation of his family. That's why he wanted to be included in the Qingyun List before. With this relationship, it is very likely that he will be able to practice in Li Chengying's dojo." Yan Qi continued.

Li Fan nodded. No wonder Su Chen was quite restrained. He didn't want to cause trouble. It must be because of this reason.

He was listed on the Qingyun list, and then became a disciple of Li Chengying to practice.

"Su Chen has been spending lavishly these past few days, making friends with sword cultivators from all sides. He should be trying to gain a good reputation." Yan Qi continued, "This man is very scheming. You should be careful."

"Yes." Li Fan responded: "Thank you Brother Yan for telling me. Brother Yan also said that you should not get involved in this matter."

He had experienced Su Chen's scheming. This man was not only bad, but also very smart. He wanted to destroy people's kindness without realizing it, and Yan Qi almost fell into his trap.

"I'll help you keep an eye on him." Yan Qi turned and left, jumped down, and left directly after he finished speaking. He did not promise Li Fan not to get involved. He owed Li Fan a favor and had to repay it.

"Li Chengying, fifth on the Sword Saint Ranking."

Li Fan murmured, if Su Chen entered Li Chengying's dojo to practice, he would have no chance to deal with him. The fifth on the Sword Saint List would probably require the old blind man to return to his peak sword before he could fight.

Lu Yuhuan said before that Ye Guyun, who is now ranked third on the Sword Saint List, once had a sword fight with the old blind man and was defeated by one move. This means that the old blind man should have been ranked in the top three on the Sword Saint List at that time.

However, in order to avoid arousing Lu Yuhuan's suspicion, Li Fan did not ask the old blind man about his situation in the past. He used the pseudonym Zuo Tu. If he paid attention to Zuo Canglan, it would easily make Lu Yuhuan think of something.

However, that was back then. Given the old blind man’s current condition, even if he depleted his energy like he did in Yunmengze, he would probably still be unable to defeat Li Chengying.

Then, he had no choice but to stop Su Chen from becoming Li Chengying's disciple.

"That guy is sanctimonious and extremely hypocritical. If he were to become a disciple of a great swordsman on the Sword Saint list, he would probably bring harm to many people in the future." Huang Xiong said from the side. He was a straightforward person and hated people like Su Chen the most.

Li Fan stayed at the Yunlai Inn and usually practiced in the courtyard, but once Su Chen went out, he would follow him out.

If Su Chen ate in the inn, he would also eat with him.

He heard the news that Li Chengying's dojo will be open near the end of the year, and many talented swordsmen on this year's Qingyun List may go there and try to become disciples of Li Chengying's dojo to practice.

Li Fan speculated that Su Chen might also go there on that day.

But before that, he needs to keep an eye on the other person.

The restaurant of Yunlai Inn is filled with wanderers from all over the place. Some are playing drinking games, while others are discussing things that happened in Chixiao City. It is very lively.

"Brother Su, it is said that Senior Chengyingjian's dojo will be opened tomorrow. Congratulations in advance to Brother Su for entering Senior Li Chengying's dojo to practice." Someone saw Su Chen and bowed to him.

"Thank you." Su Chen smiled and nodded: "However, Senior Chengyingjian is such a great man, whether I can worship him in your temple to practice is still unknown, so I can't be too confident. I will try my best. If I can succeed in the end, it will be my honor."

"Brother Su is too modest. We have all heard that Brother Su himself was born in the Su family of the imperial city and is familiar with the Li family. This matter will probably be a matter of course." Someone said with a smile, but in his heart he felt a little envious. These young men who came from top families were born different from others.

The imperial city is also a gathering place for aristocratic families. The top aristocratic families have personal connections and interests with each other, and the interests are complicated. Su Chen is most likely going to enter Li Chengying's dojo to practice.

"Thanks for your good words, today's bill will be put on Su. Feel free to drink to your heart's content." Su Chen said heroically and with great righteousness. Everyone praised him and said that Su Chen was indeed a man of great righteousness. After all, one should be grateful to the person who brought him the favor.

The dishes in the restaurant of Yunlai Inn are made from the finest ingredients and are very expensive.

Just as everyone was chatting and laughing, a few figures walked in and instantly attracted everyone's attention. The temperament of these people was so outstanding that it was hard not to notice them. They were Li Fan and others.

Li Fan found a seat and sat down not far from Su Chen. He called the waiter and started ordering food and drinks.

Su Chen narrowed his eyes and stared at Li Fan. This man was really haunting him.

But what's the point?

If he didn't want to cause trouble at this critical moment, hum...

"Brother Zuo, I'll treat you to a meal as well." Su Chen's heart was cold and he had murderous thoughts in his mind, but he still had a smile on his face as he said to Li Fan.

"Thank you." Li Fan was not polite.

"Brother Zuo, we don't have any major conflicts, why do you have to force me like this?" Su Chen looked at Li Fan and said, "Why don't we just stop here and live in peace. If Brother Zuo doesn't mind, we can just keep out of each other's way. Of course, if Brother Zuo is willing, we can still be friends."

"Having friends like Brother Su would make me uneasy." Li Fan said.

"Brother Su has already given in again and again. Brother Zuo is being so aggressive. It's really a bit too much."

"That's right, Brother Su has already shown mercy, why do you have to do this?"

Everyone in the restaurant spoke up for Su Chen, after all, they had just eaten at Su Chen's place.

Huang Xiong slammed the table and stood up. His burly body gave off a strong sense of oppression. Immediately, those people shut up and the restaurant became quiet again.

They had seen the driver's violence before, so they dared not provoke him.

"I wish you a pleasant meal, Brother Zuo." Su Chen stood up and turned to leave. He had lost interest in the meal. As he walked out, a cold light flashed in his eyes, revealing murderous intent.

He would tolerate Li Fan for a few more days until Li Fan entered Li Chengying's temple to practice, and then he would settle the score with Li Fan.
