With a slight sigh, the two could only accept reality.
"Very well! Since Master Xun is unwell, your disciple may go instead."
Since they've already invited Bai Yuan, who's of the same status as Xunzi, the two of them can report back to their superiors.
Having received Xun Kuang's reply, Ji Moyun and his sister did not stay at Bai Yuan's place for long and soon took their leave.
It's a rare occasion for the two of them to visit Sanghai, so they plan to explore it thoroughly over the next couple of days.
Before leaving, they made an appointment with Bai Yuan to set off together for Jimo City early the next morning.
After the two left, Xun Kuang did not stay any longer.
As he reached the courtyard gate, he smiled and said to Bai Yuan, "Junior brother, I'm sorry to trouble you with this trip."
Bai Yuan smiled and shook his head.
He finally understood why Xun Kuang had been so proactive in suggesting that he go to Jimo City; it was all to deal with Jimo Yun and the other two.
Xun Kuang had long known that Ji Moyun and the other two would not agree to simply send Han Fei in his place, so he brought along someone of his own generation.
However, Bai Yuan didn't dwell on this small matter, since he also wanted to have some fun.
Before leaving, Xun Kuang patted Bai Yuan on the shoulder, leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Junior brother, although I know that a gentleman is attracted to a beautiful lady, you can't be so rude next time you see a young lady."
Bai Yuan's face stiffened, and he immediately explained, "Senior brother, today is all a misunderstanding, I didn't mean it."
"No need to explain, I understand! Look at you, you're not a kid anymore. If you're interested in someone, there's no need to hide it, just say it openly! I, your senior brother, can also play matchmaker for you. Isn't this banquet a good opportunity?"
Xun Kuang interrupted him, instead giving him a look that said, "I think you're good."
The Ji Mo family are descendants of Tian Dan, and thus have some bloodline from the royal family of Qi. In terms of family background, Ji Mo Hua Xue is from a prestigious family and is absolutely worthy of Bai Yuan.
Seeing that the misunderstanding was getting deeper and deeper, Xun Kuang even wanted to join in the fun, but Bai Yuan quickly waved his hand.
"Senior brother, there's no need to trouble you. It's just a misunderstanding."
He didn't want Xun Kuang to actually arrange a marriage for him.
Xun Kuang smiled and shook his head: "Alright, alright! I won't get involved in your young people's affairs!"
After saying that, he slowly strolled away from there.
After seeing Xun Kuang off, Bai Yuan exhaled a breath of turbid air.
What is this called!
But at that moment, he forgot that there was someone else at home.
"You really have taken a liking to that Ji Mo Hua Xue?"
Behind him, Ningyan frowned slightly and suddenly asked.
Bai Yuan slapped his forehead.
He is so difficult!
It's all the system's fault!
Why did the news have to come at such an inopportune time? Now everyone misunderstands him.
[Host's needs detected. Do you want to disable the person recognition skill?]
Upon seeing the intelligent system prompt, Bai Yuan quickly activated the Mind of Still Water technique to calm himself down.
Ignoring the system's idiotic warning, he explained to Ningyan again.
"I really didn't fall for her! It's just that I saw the same black aura on her as on Han Fei, which confirmed that this matter was indeed related to Jimo City, so I suddenly froze."
He had a sudden inspiration and found an excellent reason.
Ningyan stared at him for a long time; his reason was indeed plausible.
She nodded slightly, indicating that she believed Bai Yuan's words.
Seeing that Ningyan believed him, Bai Yuan breathed a slight sigh of relief.
At that moment, he suddenly felt that something was not quite right. Ningyan would not usually care about such issues.
Bai Yuan realized something, a faint smile appeared on his lips, and he looked at her with a playful expression.
Ningyan realized that her reaction just now seemed inappropriate, and feeling embarrassed by Bai Yuan's stare, she glared at him and then turned around and went back to her room.
Chapter 58: Reluctant to let go of the child but unable to trap the wolf
After Ningyan returned to her room, Baiyuan finally had time to check out the new skill that had just been activated.
Unlike life skills such as hunting and cooking, this skill of recognizing people does not have any experience or level, meaning it cannot be upgraded.
The main effect is that he can obtain some information about a person when he stares at them, the key of which is that he can see the words that person possesses.
The system's records show that when the person recognition skill was activated, it automatically recorded a piece of information about Ji Mo Hua Xue.
[Character]: Ji Mo Hua Xue
Age: 17
[Aura/Luck Attribute]: Sword Immortal Potential (Not Activated)
[Potential for Sword Immortal]: Possesses unimaginable talent for the way of the sword. Can make rapid progress in swordsmanship. The artistic conception of the swordsmanship has its own natural charm. Protected by heaven and earth, if it continues to grow smoothly, it will surely become a sword immortal.
Upon seeing the entries on Ji Mo Hua Xue, Bai Yuan's eyes widened in surprise.
He had never seen such an outrageous entry before.
Not only can one's swordsmanship improve by leaps and bounds in a day, but one is also protected by heaven and earth, destined to become a sword immortal.
Isn't this a clear case of being the chosen one?
In comparison, even swordsmanship geniuses like Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang are nothing special.
"System, what level is her entry?"
"After activation, it becomes a gold-level attribute."
The system honestly answered Bai Yuan's questions.
After being reminded by the system, he also noticed that the attributes on Ji Mo Hua Xue were still not activated.
In that case, she was just an ordinary person, and she couldn't possibly make rapid progress in her swordsmanship, let alone become a sword immortal.
"What a pity, such a talent for sword immortal, is about to fade into obscurity."
Bai Yuan felt somewhat regretful about this.
It seems that Ji Mo Hua Xue will not be able to become a world-renowned sword immortal like the person he remembered.
But he was still a little curious.
"Since I can see the luck-related attributes on her, can I activate them for her?"
"Under certain conditions, it can help activate the luck-related entry. After activation, the host can simultaneously obtain the activated entry."
Upon hearing this answer, Bai Yuan became somewhat unsettled.
"So if I help her activate the attribute, I can also obtain the [Sword Immortal Talent]?"
"Yes."
Now Bai Yuan understood why this talent for recognizing people had no experience or level; its true effect was simply heaven-defying!
Upgrade? No need!
As long as he helps Ji Mo Huaxue activate her attribute, he will be able to obtain the same powerful attributes as her, which can be described as a win-win situation.
How could he not be tempted!
No man can resist the allure of becoming a sword immortal.
The thought of one day being able to ride the wind on a sword, vanquishing demons across the land, his sword energy traversing 30,000 miles, his sword chilling fourteen provinces with its frost.
Just thinking about these scenes made him excited.
"Such talent is such a waste! I can't just watch a future sword immortal fade into obscurity. System, tell me quickly how to activate her talents?"
The system quickly provided a solution.
To activate Ji Mo Hua Xue's [Sword Immortal Potential], you need to do the following two things.
First, she needs to possess a famous sword.
Secondly, she needs to study
The sword techniques of [Spring Flowers], [Autumn Moon], [Summer Breeze], and [Winter Snow] have reached the minor mastery level.
Both conditions are indispensable; once met, the [Sword Immortal Talent] will be activated.
But when Bai Yuan saw this, a bitter look immediately appeared on his face.
Neither of these two conditions is simple.
He himself didn't possess any so-called famous swords.
The system thoughtfully provided him with the four sword techniques required for the latter condition, but they weren't given to him for free. He needed to spend fragments to purchase them, and for the time being, only he and Ji Mo Hua Xue could learn the four sword techniques.
What really gave Bai Yuan a headache was the price of this sword technique.
All four sword techniques are of blue quality, and each one requires one thousand fragments.
In other words, these four sword techniques would require him to spend a total of four thousand fragments.
This is not a small amount for him either.
The only thing that comforted him was that these four sword techniques formed a complete set, which together constituted the [Jimo Sword Style], and was of purple quality.
This was the only normal purple-quality sword technique he had ever seen, which, according to normal calculations, would require a full ten thousand fragments.
In all calculations, he got a great deal.
However, the fragments he currently possesses can only be exchanged for two complete sword techniques at most.
After thinking it over, I realized that for the sake of this "talent for becoming a sword immortal," one must be prepared to risk everything!
Bai Yuan gritted his teeth and first exchanged for the sword techniques 【Spring Blossom】 and 【Summer Breeze】. The number of fragments decreased significantly, leaving only about eight hundred fragments.
These two sword techniques together comprise a total of 182 moves, with a wide variety of content.
