I became a Sword Emperor in the Martial Arts World

Chapter 68 She wants to go home with you?

The villa gate opened, and Ye Qingzhou stepped out into the golden sunlight, radiant and exuding an even more transcendent aura than before.

Xu Yuebing stepped forward and asked with a smile, "How are you feeling?"

"It's wonderful."

Ye Qingzhou clenched his fist, his knuckles clanging like the ringing of swords.

At this moment, his bones were completely covered with a layer of divine metal. With a thought, he could resonate with the sword energy and transform it into an indestructible, invisible shield.

He looked at Xu Yuebing, a smile playing on his lips: "Haven't you always wanted to cut me with your sword? Now you can do it. I promise I'll stand still and let you cut me."

"Are you crazy?!"

"If we don't cut it now, we might not have another chance."

"Hmph! You asked for this yourself!"

Xu Yuebing angrily drew her sword and slashed at Ye Qingzhou's left arm, but in the end she held back three-tenths of her strength.

With a clang, the Snowdrift Sword in her hand was shattered by an invisible aura, failing to harm Ye Qingzhou in the slightest.

"How is this possible?"

Xu Yuebing wore an expression of disbelief.

Xu Yunxi was also quite surprised: "Protective True Qi? No, you haven't even reached the professional level yet, your inner energy hasn't been converted into True Qi. How did you manage to do that?"

Ye Qingzhou looked puzzled: "Use your unyielding spirit to resonate with sword energy, and then let the sword energy circulate throughout your body. Isn't that something anyone can do?"

Xu Yunxi was both amused and exasperated: "It's not as easy as you make it out to be. To be able to freely unleash sword energy, you need at least the power of a mastered cultivator, let alone using Iron Bone Resonance. You must know, the human body has 206 bones of varying sizes and lengths, and its surface is not smooth. How can it compare to the ease of handling a longsword?"

Ye Qingzhou pondered, "Indeed, I am a peerless genius, one in ten thousand."

"You rascal! You're getting all worked up just because I called you fat!"

Xu Yuebing was quite angry at these words. She was clearly a genius in the eyes of others, but she was always dealt a heavy blow by Ye Qingzhou.

Ye Qingzhou invited the three into the house and personally served them fine tea: "You've really worked hard to protect me this time."

For the past three days, Xu Yuebing, Xu Yunxi, and Uncle Yuan have been guarding the house almost non-stop, occupying high ground with a good view to prevent any possible accidents from happening.

Ye Qingzhou naturally remembered this kindness and devotion.

After returning to school, Ye Qingzhou went to her homeroom teacher, Zhu Hanwen, to cancel her leave.

Zhu Hanwen then told him some news: "He Wenjie has transferred schools, and something has happened to the He family. How about you put an end to your conflict with Teacher Sha?"

Ye Qingzhou looked completely innocent, then sighed, "Teacher, it seems you have a deep misunderstanding about me. Do you think I'm the kind of person who holds grudges and thinks about cutting Sha Lixin's head off over the smallest things?"

Zhu Hanwen's eye twitched; he truly meant it: "I hope you're not."

"Don't worry, sir. I'm the future successor of the martial arts world in Dongji Country. In the future, even the president of the Martial Arts Association might have to ask me to do something. How could I possibly be involved in anything illegal?"

Ye Qingzhou looked completely sincere.

Zhu Hanwen didn't know what to say, and finally looked up at the sky and closed his eyes: "I hope so."

After leaving the office, Ye Qingzhou walked into the classroom of Class 7, Grade 11 and sat in the seat he had not seen for three days.

Seeing Ye Qingzhou's emaciated and haggard appearance, Huang Liwen was shocked: "Holy crap, Old Ye, have you been drained dry by School Beauty Xu? It's only been three days! Even a man-eating tigress isn't this ruthless!"

Ye Qingzhou rolled her eyes at this idiot and put away the sword pouch behind her.

Huang Liwen approached again, and seeing that Ye Qingzhou now carried three swords, he was immediately filled with curiosity: "What, are you planning to practice the Three Swords Style from now on? Does that mean the more swords you have, the stronger you are?"

"These three swords are very expensive. If you lose them and don't carry them with you, will you compensate me?"

Ye Qingzhou had barely settled into his seat when Huang Liwen started chatting with him about what had happened in the class in the past few days—trivial matters like who had paired up with whom and who had broken up with whom.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing."

Huang Liwen then lowered his voice: "Your ex has come to our class several times, all to see you."

"Ex-lover? Who?"

"Seriously? It's only been a few days, and you've already found someone new and forgotten your old flame?"

Huang Liwen then gave Ye Qingzhou a disdainful look: "Yun Shanshan, Yun Shanshan."

"Oh, it's her?"

Ye Qingzhou then showed a look of realization. If Huang Liwen hadn't mentioned it, he would have almost forgotten that such a person existed.

"What, she's raised enough money?"

"Damn it, Lao Ye, are you even human? People are eyeing you, but you're eyeing their money?"

"Otherwise what?"

Ye Qingzhou didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

He teaches martial arts based on his skills, earns a living with his craft, and there's nothing shameful about it.

Just as Ye Qingzhou was chatting with Huang Liwen, Yun Shanshan stood gracefully at the door of the classroom of Class 7, Grade 11.

Today, she specially wore a plain white dress, revealing her snow-white arms and calves. Her long hair was draped over her shoulders, and she smiled charmingly. She was truly more beautiful than the flowers.

"Excuse me, is Ye Qingzhou here?"

"Yes, he's here!"

"Ye Qingzhou, someone is looking for you!"

The boys in the class couldn't resist Yun Shanshan's pure and sweet smile and soon became her guides.

Ye Qingzhou had no choice but to get up and walk out of the classroom. She and Yun Shanshan walked side-by-side to a corner of the corridor, and she asked in a cold tone, "Did you bring the money?"

Seeing Ye Qingzhou's distant attitude towards her, Yun Shanshan felt increasingly pained and resentful.

The Ye Qingzhou of today is not the Ye Qingzhou of the past.

The champion of the Qinglan Sword Fighting Tournament, a martial arts genius renowned throughout Linjiang, is so popular that it's no exaggeration to say he's "in high demand." In fact, news of him and Xu Yuebing being a perfect couple is now flying around the school.

I was the one who arrived first!

What gives Xu Yuebing the right?!

As the saying goes, you can't catch a wolf without risking your cub. Ever since Yun Shanshan learned that Xu Yuebing was "buying lessons" from Ye Qingzhou, she had been tempted to do the same. She even went home and persuaded her parents to use their savings to support her on the path of martial arts cultivation.

"I've already prepared the money, 100,000 yuan, right?"

"What 100,000? I'm the champion of the sword fighting tournament now, how can it still be the same price as before? You have to raise the price, starting at 300,000."

"ah!?"

"If it doesn't work, then forget it."

"No, I'll pay for it!"

Yun Shanshan gritted her teeth. Even though her heart was bleeding, she was no longer allowed to back down.

Once we win over Ye Qingzhou, we can earn back any amount of money we could ever make.

Ye Qingzhou, having taken the money to do the job without any personal feelings involved, nodded to Yun Shanshan: "Alright then, you'll come home with me after school."

Back in the classroom, before Ye Qingzhou could even sit down, Huang Liwen leaned in close, his expression smug: "What does Yun Shanshan want with you?"

"Send me money."

"Holy crap, why?"

"She comes home with me after school in the afternoon for special training."

"She wants to go home with you and have sex?"

"...Brother Wen, you really know how to take things out of context."
