Sword Roaring in the Sky

Chapter 311 Rafting
If we were to say which boat on Yanchi Lake is the best at this time, it would definitely be the Mirror Flower Sword Boat.

Sun Yanwan asked Lu Chaoxiu to help her buy a boat. This talented woman bought back the boats of Elder Taishi and Xu Kaitian. Not only were the boatmen and sailors complete, but even the maids, singers, and the concubines of the two elders were also given to her.

When Sun Yanwan took possession of the boat, she seemed a bit strange. It's normal to buy a boat and give away some sailors, but why did she even give away the original owner's concubine?

He boarded the boat and asked the talented woman of Chaozhou embroidery, Lu Chaoxiu, who smiled bitterly and said, "I asked Master Huangfu, and he asked several families for me who could sell the boat. Of course, only the two families that have lost their owners can sell it."

“When I went to negotiate, the people selling the boat were the wives of the two elders, and the stewards they sent... did not want to take the people back.”

Sun Yanwan then realized that it wasn't that he was stupid, but that he lacked the concept in this regard.

The women he met after transmigrating all had extraordinary backgrounds. Even Little Butterfly was the little princess of the Tianji Sun family, and her grandfather always took her with him when she went out to travel the world, fearing that something might happen to her. Little Nanmeng, needless to say, was one of the eight sisters in the Nanmeng family, and her status was naturally extraordinary.

Even though Gu Dajia's status was somewhat lower, and he was the one who stole her, he didn't pay to redeem her.

Therefore, he did not have the concept that concubines were items that could be purchased.

The two elders were somewhat averse to the appearance of the lady who had failed to advance to the Innate Realm. In fact, even if both husband and wife were Innate Realm, it was hard to guarantee that they wouldn't take a concubine. After the master died, when disposing of the property, the lady would definitely sell the concubine instead of treating her as the master's object and glancing at her every day as a memento.

Sun Yanwan chose Xu Kaitian's ship, since he hadn't killed the ship's owner, so he wouldn't have so many psychological traumas while riding it. He took Yang Diao'er, Sun Lingdie, Ba Tianmo, and Wuying Hou with him and sent all the female members of the ship to another ship, which was given to Duanmu Xianling and Lu Chaoxiu. As for whether the two fairies went to Jinguang Cave, that was not his concern.

Ba Tianmo and Wuying Hou sensed the location of the Golden Light Cave along the way.

Duanmu Xianling and Lu Chaoxiu both prepared water vests, which were so tight that they outlined the two women's figures breathtakingly. Standing at the bow of the boat, they were very nervous.

Sun Yanwan said to Ba Tianmo and Wuyinghou, "You two, please take care of those two fairies."

"I have other people to take care of."

Ba Tianmo and Wuying Hou exchanged a smile and agreed.

Sun Yanwan gestured to the two women to reassure Duanmu Xianling and Lu Chaoxiu. The two women had only learned today that Sun Yanwan had made thorough preparations and that she was accompanied by two renowned masters from the martial arts world, which gave them more confidence.

Sun Yanwan sat on the boat, watching Ba Tianmo and Wuying Hou dive into the water with two women. After waiting for several hours without them coming up, she shook the boat and said, "I don't know if they can come up."

Yang Diao'er, disguised, boarded the boat with Sun Lingdie, not revealing herself to the two women. At this moment, she reverted to her attire as the little princess of the Demonic Sect, holding the Ice Silk Fan, and stood beside Sun Yanwan, asking, "Are you really not going down?"

Sun Yanwan shook her head and said, "I really won't go down."

He's already shown a lot of courtesy by accompanying Ba Tianmo and Wuyinghou here, so we can forget about him going into the water.

Yang Diao'er smiled and said, "Then I'll accompany you boating on the lake."

Sun Yanwan smiled slightly and said, "Very good."

Both pleasure boats were the highest-class vessels of the Mirror Flower Sword Pavilion, second only to Huangfu Zi's. They represented the sect leader's pleasure boat, especially since the two elders were both fond of luxury and had decorated the boats with extreme elegance. Inkstone Lake was also a place of unparalleled beauty; otherwise, the Demon-Slaying Hu family would not have chosen to settle here and live there for generations.

Only Sun Yanwan remained, accompanied by Yang Diao'er and Sun Lingdie, boating on the lake, which was indeed quite pleasant.

About seven or eight boats came that day. Some people were on small boats and jumped off without caring about the boat. Sun Yanwan sent people to collect them and directly transfer them to the Tianma Gang's public property. Some people rented boats, and when they jumped off, the boats left. Sun Yanwan didn't make things difficult for them. Some people brought friends and left people on the boats. Sun Yanwan was too lazy to communicate with these people.

Some people saw the two painted boats and mistook them for people from the Mirror Flower Sword Boat, and were unwilling to have a conflict with them.

Sun Yanwan stayed on Yanchi Lake for more than half a month. He saw people jump in but no one came out. He sighed inwardly. He didn't know what was going on with Jinguang Cave, but he managed to suppress his curiosity.

After four or five days without seeing anyone come, Sun Yanwan said to Yang Diao'er and Sun Lingdie, "Twenty-one groups of people have come one after another. If each group kills one Xiantian, then twenty-one Xiantians will be sacrificed to the heavens. I'm afraid the martial arts world will be weakened by a generation."

There are very few grandmasters and innate masters in the martial arts world. In addition to being the top combat force of a sect, these people are also the inheritors who educate the younger generation.

For example, the Feng Patriarch of the Songyang Sect passed down the Seven Friends of Songyang. The Seven Friends of Songyang had different levels of martial arts skills, and Zhang Yuanqiao, as a Grandmaster, had the most outstanding disciples.

The monk Kongchan of Shaochan Temple is a grandmaster, and he has a disciple named Shisi.

For the Emei Sect to slay dragons, they can only call upon disciples like Sima Ziyan from Namco Entertainment.

This is the benefit of having a strong teaching staff.

There is no shortage of martial arts masters in a sect. The next generation will be different if there are disciples who are Grandmasters and disciples who are only Grandmasters. The next generation will also be different if there are disciples with innate masters and disciples without innate masters.

Once this tradition is broken, the next generation often cannot stand out. Perhaps a genius will emerge after several generations, or perhaps the line will simply disappear.

The next generation of these sects that lost their members at the Innate Realm will inevitably be affected.

The entire martial arts world of Dalang will be weakened by a generation.

Moreover, few of those who went down to explore the Golden Light Cave will return; the loss is simply immeasurable.

In other words, those sects that no one explored the Golden Light Cave will expand rapidly after this incident, experiencing a period of rapid development because they will no longer have any rivals.

Sun Lingdie, who was in charge of the Tianma Gang, knew many people. She said in a low voice, "Of the ten major sword sects, only our Songyang Sect has no one here. Even the people from Youjian Villa have gone in. The people from Shaochan Temple have not come either, but the people from Tianlong Temple have gone in."

"If it weren't for the fact that people from both Northern Yan and Southern Xia also came, I would have almost thought that this was a conspiracy against the martial arts world of Da Lang."

Sun Yanwan pondered for a long time, then took a breath and said, "Let's not talk about this matter for now. Let's continue with the singing and dancing, and the music."

The concubines and beauties of Elder Taishi and Elder Xu Kaitian are all skilled in singing and dancing. Although Sun Yanwan would not covet them, he is a respectable man. But what's wrong with watching a few song and dance performances?
Can't he have some fun?
As a frequent viewer of short dance videos, Sun Yanwan even personally choreographed twenty or thirty dance songs and moves. And let me tell you, riding a painted boat on Yanchi Lake, watching songs and dances, with the most beautiful woman in the world and little butterflies as companions, is indeed very pleasing to the eye and a joyful experience.
