Great Love for All Heavens Begins with Huang Yaoshi

Chapter 182, "The Yellow Millet Immortal," is particularly interesting.
“Lei Wujie, didn’t you come to Snow Moon City to become a disciple? The Snow Moon Sword Immortal is right in front of you. Why don’t you kneel down and kowtow to become a disciple?” The young Taoist in green robes suddenly spoke.

"I want to become the disciple of the Snow Moon Sword Immortal?" Lei Wujie looked on with a surprised expression, as if he thought, "I'm worthy of it."

For years, Li Hanyi had been oblivious to the outside world, focusing solely on practicing swordsmanship in her secluded hut in the Cangshan Mountains. Now, seeing that Lei Wujie didn't recognize her at all, she couldn't help but feel guilty and ashamed, unsure how to acknowledge him.

Or perhaps he had long intended to use the method of taking on a disciple to get closer to him, and so he said:
"What, am I not worthy to be your master?"

"No, no." Lei Wujie quickly waved his hand:

"The reason why I want to ask about swordsmanship is because my master once told me that he learned swordsmanship because he saw a sword strike from you, and he often thinks about that sword strike in recent years, hoping to see you again."

“My master is currently tied up with other matters and cannot leave Lei Family Fort. I humbly request that you go to Lei Family Fort and see my master.”

At this moment, the young Taoist priest in the green robe said casually:
"Since you've dared to ask, then don't say anything more. I came to Snow Moon City on my own initiative. How dare Lei Hong ask the dignified Snow Moon Sword Immortal to condescend to Lei Family Fortress?"

These words created a rather strange atmosphere on the field.

Sikong Changfeng coughed lightly:
"That's true. Both of them rarely leave their homes, yet one sends his disciple while the other comes in person. The difference is quite significant."

“Brother Sikong, you’ve overlooked something. It’s not just the difference in how people are treated. The most crucial point is that this world favors good-looking people, while showing particular malice towards those who are plain-looking.”

The young Taoist priest in green robes said leisurely:
"If I were to stand with the Snow Moon Sword Immortal, it would be a delight to behold. But if it were Lei Hong, it would be like a beautiful flower stuck in cow dung, a truly regrettable sight."

Immediately, Sikong Qianluo and the two young Taoist priests couldn't help but burst out laughing, and Tang Lian also couldn't help but smile.

A smile appeared on Li Hanyi's jade-like face beneath the mask, only to realize that someone's shamelessness was no different from before.

Then, with a slight thought, she used her sword control technique to pin the Killing Fear Sword on the ground to the plaque of the Ascending Heaven Pavilion, and said:

"Considering that Lei Hong has raised you to a decent age and you are worthy of being my disciple, if you become my disciple, I will go with you to Lei Family Fortress the day you can withstand three of my sword strikes and retrieve this Fearless Sword."

Upon hearing this, Lei Wujie hesitated.

"This silly boy must be thinking that since the Snow Moon Sword Immortal's swordsmanship is divine, he would naturally be willing to become her disciple. However, if he rashly agrees without his master's consent, wouldn't he be betraying his master's kindness?"

The young Taoist priest in the green robe smiled and said:
"If it were me, I would say, 'Since the Sword Immortal is so sincerely requesting this, then I will mercifully agree. From now on, if I don't learn well, you are not allowed to punish me, because if I can't learn well, it's all because my master didn't teach me well.'"

"If he goes out and causes trouble, he'll have to cover for me."

He walked over to Lei Wujie and patted him on the shoulder:

"Actually, once you successfully become an apprentice, you don't need to work hard to learn swordsmanship. When you travel around the world, just saying 'My master is the Snow Moon Sword Immortal' is enough to scare people to death."

"Say it again: 'My head, Lei Wujie, is right here. Who dares to kill me?'"

Before the young Taoist priest in the green robe could finish speaking, a bone-chilling cold swept over him. He instantly hid behind Lei Wujie, and the cold force carved a fissure in the ground.
"Zhao Huanzhen, is this how you teach the younger generation?" Li Hanyi said, emphasizing each word.

"Brother Lei, why don't you kneel down and become my disciple? Anyway, if I don't get away with this today, I'll definitely drag you down with me."

As the young Taoist priest in the green robe spoke, he kicked Lei Wujie in the shin, forcing him to kneel on one knee, before smiling broadly and saying:
"See? After I talked to him, this silly boy figured it out."

After saying that, he casually punched him on the head:

"say!"

This scene left everyone speechless, and they gained a deeper understanding of the person's temperament.

Immediately, Lei Wujie seemed to have made up his mind completely. He knelt down, clasped his hands in a fist and said in a deep voice:
“Disciple Lei Wujie has become a disciple of the Snow Moon Sword Immortal. If Master Lei Hong ever blames me, Lei Wujie will repay the kindness of my two masters with my life.”

Come find me at Cangshan tomorrow.

As Li Hanyi turned to leave, she added:
"The agreement has been reached."

"No mountain can stand in our way." Lei Wujie said resolutely.

She suddenly paused: "Zhao Zhenhuan, aren't you coming along?"

"I feel safer staying by Brother Lei's side. He is the only disciple of the Snow Moon Sword Immortal. If I encounter danger, I only need to protect him in front of me to ensure my safety."

Zhuang Buran said solemnly:
"I'm sure the Snow Moon Sword Immortal will stand up for us." Upon hearing this, most of the crowd laughed so hard their shoulders twitched. Hearing that he would protect the person in front of him and use the Snow Moon Sword Immortal to deal with Li Hanyi, they felt that this Huang Liangxian was exceptionally interesting. If they were to spend time with him, they would probably have something to watch every day.

Looking at the two people in front of me, one was aloof and indifferent, while the other was casual and unrestrained. I felt that their personalities complemented each other very well, which highlighted a kind of harmony.

"Then you can stay by his side forever." Li Hanyi's lips twitched, and she leaped up and disappeared into the horizon.

Ten days later, under a starry night.

In a courtyard, Li Fansong, Lei Wujie, Xiao Se, and Tang Lian sat facing each other, drinking wine.

“These days I’ve been practicing swordsmanship with my master on the mountain, but I still can’t even draw the Listening to Rain Sword that my master gave me.”

"What's most infuriating is that when I didn't practice my swordsmanship properly, my master would hit me on the head with a stick, and Zhao Zhen would stand by and point fingers, saying things like, 'Go too easy, go too easy. Only by hitting hard can you learn your lesson.'"

With a pained expression, Lei Wujie continued to recount the arduous process of practicing swordsmanship.

"The swords forged at the Sword Heart Tomb are different from ordinary swords. It is said that the last step in their sword-forging process is to cut their palms and feed the swords with their blood. Therefore, the swords they forge are imbued with spirit and are very spiritual."

Tang Lian comforted her gently:

"Given your abilities, it's only a matter of time before you draw this Listening Rain Sword."

"It is indeed very intelligent. I noticed that Tingyu Sword is very afraid of Zhao Huanzhen."

At this point, Lei Wujie couldn't help but reveal an expression of immense curiosity:
"Senior Brother, what exactly is the story between my master Lei Hong, my master Li Hanyi, and Zhao Huanzhen of Wangcheng Mountain?"

"I only heard my eldest master talk about my second master. He said that after my second master graduated, he went into the martial arts world to challenge all kinds of masters, and then he came to find the most unassuming Huang Liangxian."

"The two fought three times. The first time, the Second Master fought him with the Listening Rain Sword."

"Zhao Huanzhen caught his second master's sword with just two fingers and then uttered a disdainful remark about all swordsmen and knife-wielders in the world."

Tang Lian paused for a moment, then said:
"Only the weak resort to swords, hoping to use their advantage to fight against the odds and defeat the strong with the weak."

"After saying those words, if Zhao Zhenhuan hadn't held back, the Listening Rain Sword would probably have already broken."

Lei Wujie listened with astonishment and disbelief, unable to believe that such arrogant and domineering words could come from the mouth of a lazy Taoist priest.

Even though Li Fansong and Xiao Se had some idea of ​​how unfathomable someone was, they never expected that the Taoist priest, who always liked to cause trouble, would have the demeanor of such a peerless master.

"In their second encounter, the Second Master found the Iron Horse and Ice River, the third sword technique in the manual, but was still defeated in one move."

"This time, Zhao Zhen actually used his finger as a sword to unleash a peerless sword move that could destroy all tangible things in the world. He has always been unwilling to suffer a loss, so before the fight, he made a bet with his second master."

Lei Wujie, who loved listening to stories of the martial arts world, hurriedly asked:

"What bet?"

"I don't know." Tang Lian took a sip of her drink.
"All I know is that my second master stayed at Wangcheng Mountain for ten days, and the third fight was a year later. They agreed that if he could break the sword move that had defeated him before, Zhao Huanzhen would have to come down the mountain with him."

"When the third match came, although the Second Master came up with a way to break the move, his cultivation level was not as high as that of the unassuming Zhao Zhenhuan, and he ultimately failed to break the move."

"After the duel, Zhao Zhenhuan pointed out the flaws in his sword moves and explained the essence of his second master's swordsmanship, saying that his second master could easily break this sword move once he reached the half-step Divine Travel Realm."

"So they agreed to a fourth duel. If the second master was confident that he could break his sword technique, he would immediately return to secular life and leave the mountain, never to return to Wangcheng Mountain again."

"For the past ten years or so, because my second master was not confident, he has been practicing swordsmanship in a hut in Cangshan Mountain."

"The third competition ended when Lei Hong came to Wangcheng Mountain to challenge him. His second master stopped him on behalf of Wangcheng Mountain. After that, he secluded himself in Leimen to practice swordsmanship, vowing not to leave seclusion until he became a sword immortal."

Lei Wujie suddenly realized:

"That's why my master, Li Hanyi, was so surprised when he saw Zhao Huanzhen come down the mountain to Snow Moon City on his own initiative."

"The three's self-imposed predicament finally came to an end with Zhao Huanzhen breaking the deadlock first."
