Wen Zhengping rubbed his nose and said speechlessly.

"Are you really a child?"

"Authentic. (At least in this world)"

Bai Qiuyuan said with a smile.

Wen Zhengping: “…”

[I didn't realize it was actually a little fox.]

[Be a little more cunning...]

Thinking of this, Wen Zhengping began to look forward to Bai Qiuyuan's [White Egret Villa]...

……

———Inside the Imperial Palace——

"You mean, there's a rumor going around in the city about an unknown swordsman appearing?"

"Yes, Master Sword Immortal."

"Hahaha! Interesting! Interesting! It's been a long time since I've seen a newly promoted Sword Immortal!"

……

【06】Sword Immortal vs Sword Immortal

——The Imperial Palace——

"Your Majesty, Su Jianxian has left the palace."

"It is said that he wants to exchange sword skills with that suddenly appeared sword immortal."

"..."

A man in official uniform stood in front of a middle-aged man in a yellow robe who was reviewing official documents at a desk and said.

The news of the unknown sword immortal's birth soon spread to the palace.

Although it is known that there is a sword immortal, there are currently no rumors about his appearance.

"Let him be."

"Xu Xia, who do you think would win if two sword immortals fought?"

The yellow-robed man asked.

"It should be Su Jianxian. After all, Su Jianxian has been a sword immortal for ten years."

"The sword immortal that's been rumored among the people has never been heard of before. He's probably a newly promoted sword immortal."

"Although both of them are Sword Immortals, there should be a gap in experience between them."

Xu Xia spoke.

"I've never heard of a sword immortal, but isn't there one in the imperial palace?"

The man in the yellow robe still lowered his head to review the documents in his hands. He never looked up from beginning to end and did not seem to be curious about this matter.

"Your Majesty, do you suspect that person also came from the upper realm?"

Xu Xia instantly remembered the three monks who came down from the upper realm [Jiang Ge] to treat the princess not long ago.

Among the three people there is a woman, who is the Sword Immortal!

It also appeared out of nowhere and no information could be found!

However, the sword immortal that was rumored among the people seemed to be... a male sword immortal...

"Find someone to investigate that Sword Immortal later."

"He didn't come to the palace with the people from Jian Ge, so he's probably not a disciple of Jian Ge."

"I want to try to recruit him into the palace."

"Yes! Your Majesty, I will arrange this."

"Go back."

"Old minister, please retire."

Then, the man in yellow robe was the only one left in the room, who continued to review the documents silently.

Suddenly, the man in yellow robe started talking to himself.

"Oh, I really want to retire..."

……

——Somewhere in the backyard of the palace——

"Senior Sister, where did the Su Jianxian from the palace go?"

Sun Ning asked doubtfully.

Lin Ziya, who had just found out the news, was silent for a while and then said.

"It's rumored that Fellow Daoist Su is a sword fanatic, and whenever he encounters a sword expert, he wants to challenge him."

"Rumor has it that last night, a bandit den outside the Imperial City, which Your Majesty had been unable to capture, was single-handedly destroyed by an unknown swordsman..."

"In the middle of the night, the bandits' wails echoed through the mountains for over half an hour. News of this incident spread throughout the entire imperial city, including the palace."

"It seems that Fellow Daoist Su is on his way to find an unknown sword immortal to challenge."

Zhou Meng asked doubtfully.

"I heard that this 'Sword Immortal' has been stuck at the first level of foundation building for ten years..."

"He clearly became a Sword Immortal ten years ago. With his talent, he shouldn't be unable to break through the second level of Foundation Establishment in ten years."

"He's looking for someone to fight with, is he trying to break through?"

Lin Ziya explained.

"Fellow Daoist Su's wife is a mortal, frail and unable to practice martial arts. She has less than a hundred years to live."

"Fellow Daoist Su has already rejected several offers of guidance from the higher realms in order to stay with his wife."

After hearing this, Zhou Meng fell into deep thought.

At this time, Sun Ning suddenly spoke.

"Senior Sister, what about that sword immortal that's been rumored among the people..."

"Could it be the child we saw yesterday?"

Suddenly, the three of them fell silent.

The three of them quickly imagined a group of bandits being beaten to a pulp by an eight-year-old child for over half an hour...

"Okay, let's not worry about this for now."

"Last night we bought a clue to a cure for the princess's strange illness from an underground intelligence dealer."

"Without further delay, let's set out to find medicine."

"Yes, senior sister."

The three wanted to buy information from the underground intelligence store, but they did not have the silver that ordinary people could use, and it was not convenient to borrow from people in the palace.

In addition, the three of them have no other life skills except martial arts.

So yesterday, the three of them were performing on the streets, breaking rocks with their chests to make money...

Although Bai Qiuyuan was puzzled by this, he tactfully did not ask any further questions.

……

--noon--

——A lotus pond somewhere in the imperial city——

Bai Qiuyuan was leisurely visiting the famous lotus pond in the imperial city.

Because it was noon in winter, the ice on the lake had begun to melt and break.

But because the ice is so thick, there are still pieces of ice floating on the water.

Some mist can be seen faintly on the water surface, which looks quite artistic.

[Although you can't see lotus flowers in winter, the scenery is still nice! ]

[If there is a chance, let’s build a lotus pond in the village! ]

【It would be even better if they could charge admission! 】

Just as Bai Qiuyuan was sighing, a man suddenly blocked the road in front of him.

Bai Qiuyuan looked up and saw a middle-aged man with a strong body, wearing a red knight's suit, a red headband on his head, and a red-handled long sword at his waist. He looked very cheerful.

Bai Qiuyuan asked doubtfully.

"Uncle, are you okay?"

The man in red laughed after hearing this.

"Young man, I see that you have amazing bones and are a martial arts prodigy..."

"Hey! Wait! Don't go!"

"I'm not a liar! I'm the Sword Master, Su Changling!"

When Bai Qiuyuan heard the word "Sword Immortal", he turned around and looked at the man in front, lost in thought, obviously a little doubtful.

After all, Bai Qiuyuan had only practiced for one day at this moment and had not yet learned how to sense other people's cultivation.

So for a moment, it was impossible to determine whether the person in front of him named Su Changling was telling the truth or not.

What Bai Qiuyuan didn't know was...

Because the modifier has the ability to hide his cultivation level, as long as Bai Qiuyuan doesn't take action, no one can sense Bai Qiuyuan's cultivation level!

So in Su Changling's eyes, Bai Qiuyuan was a child who had not yet started practicing.

[This child's physique is truly rare! ]

[He's definitely gifted! I'll definitely take him in as my apprentice!]

Seeing Bai Qiuyuan looking at him with suspicion, Su Changling smiled, and the red sword at his waist immediately flew out of the scabbard!

Floating in front of Bai Qiuyuan!

The sword immortal's unique sword flying ability!

Bai Qiuyuan asked in confusion after seeing this.

"Then what do you want from me?"

"Ahem, young man, I see that you have extraordinary talents. You are indeed a genius rarely seen in a century."

"Would you like to learn swordsmanship from me? In less than ten years, I promise to make you a great swordsman!"

Su Changling put the sword back into the scabbard and smiled.

After hearing this, Bai Qiuyuan silently reached into his sleeve, opened the prop box inside his sleeve, and took out his Broken Ink Sword from the prop box.

Su Changling:? ?

"What a sword!"

"Young man, have you ever learned sword?"

"By the way, how did you manage to stuff the sword into your sleeve..."

The next second, the Broken Ink Sword was suspended in front of Su Changling.

Su Changling swallowed the second half of his sentence back into his stomach, staring blankly at Bai Qiuyuan, and stood there in a daze.

Su Changling: ???

Su Changling suddenly fell silent.

[Am I... hallucinating? ]
