Daoist Master Of Qing Xuan-Chapter 39 - The Jianghu Here Is Unusual

In this world, even when there was the Qinggong that was able to leave no prints while walking on snow, it was impossible to stroll idly like that in the yard.

This was already a breach of the conventional, it was not possible even through martial arts.

Jian Shisan was born in the Mingjian Peak and his knowledge was vast. He knows that even if the Governor and Conception vessels are connected thoroughly, it was impossible to do so even when it collaborated with the vitality of the universe and the inner Qi was endless.

Ling Chongxiao too did not have this ability.

Unless this woman was weightless. Or she was some other foreign being.

Xin Shisiniang caught the hesitation in the eyes of this mortal but she was not surprised about it. Should she have purposely pretended to be a woman of the mortal world? She really could not have done that.

"You can suit yourself on whether you want to stay or leave," Xin Shisiniang said with an aloof tone. Perhaps it was Xin Shisiniang who was being overly detached or that this weather was chilling to the point of biting. Jian Shisan was shocked for no reason. He could not utter a world and a chill ran down his spine. He only felt that this breathtakingly beautiful woman was scarier than the other masters that he had met in his entire life.

Jian Shisan took a deep breath, suppressed the fear within him and unconsciously responded with respect, "My young master is still outside, I need to report back to him, would you mind?"

"Would you not return to report if I said I do mind? Do not think of dilly-dallying, quickly go and come back," Xin Shisiniang was very impatient.

...

"You say that there's a lady in the temple and she did not leave any marks walking?" The young master in the palanquin asked leisurely.

"Yes, it was said that this temple was long abandoned. By right, there shouldn't be any people in it. That woman's origin is a mystery. Young master, do we go in or not?" Jian Shisan could not be really sure of Xin Shisiniang's exact details. Based on his experiences from Jianghu, it was best to not personally get involved with this risk. However, the young master was prideful and if he advised him to not enter, it would produce opposite results.

"Jian Shisi, do you think we should go or not?"

"The young master wishes to go." This time it was only six words 1 , it still remained as though it came out from a rock.

"Good, Jian Shisi. It's really a waste for you to be a slave of my household." Nonetheless, the young master in the palanquin clapped his hands together. Jian Shisan sighed helplessly, this meant that he had no choice but to go along.

After entering the temple, Xin Shisiniang did not wait there of course.

"What pleasure it is to have guests from afar. Honored guests, just come to the backyard." It was not the same female voice as before but an elderly person who spoke.

The direction of his voice came from a small alley away. Even though the green grass on top of it was blanketed with white snow, it did not dampen its vigor. There were bits of green showing once in a while, which gave a sense of zen under the moonlight.

After walking to the end of the small road, Jian Shisan, who was in the front, felt his field of vision widened. An old plum blossom tree swayed along with the wind, the pale yellow flower on top of it assaulted them with a faint aroma.

The palanquin stopped outside and the curtain opened. The young master's true looks were revealed. His lips were naturally red, his facial features were eminent, and his eyes were like deep pools of clear water. There was a red dot between his brows. He was brilliant like the moonbeams cast on the water. There was no need for words with the gracefulness that he was born with.

This was the young master of the Mingjian Peak, an outstanding figure within the young generation of Jianghu.

Based on his identity and looks, he qualified to be any young girls' dream lover of this world.

As a rule, there were not many regrets that came with this kind of life. Even the prince would not be as carefree and happy as the young master of a prominent family in Jianghu. What more that he was the only son of the Mingjian Peak's leader.

However, the gods were fair after all.

This was because as the curtain was released, he did not walk out but he slowly exited, sitting in a wheelchair.

He lifted his head and said, "Good moon."

He lowered his head and followed, "Good snow."

He later averted his gaze to the plum blossom flowers and continued, "Good plum blossom."

Xin Shisiniang appeared during this time. His gaze was on her and he actually did not know how to open his mouth.

Xin Shisiniang placed her hands on waist and smiled, her eyes were bright as she said, "What's wrong, kid? Cat got your tongue? You said 'good' three times in a row and suddenly I'm not good? I'm not as good as the moon in the sky, or the snow on the ground or even the small plum blossom flower?"

The plum blossom flower could not help but shake when she said that last sentence, it was afraid of Xin Shisiniang would unleash her wrath on it. It was rare for plants and trees to have intelligence. It was not easy for it to obtain this kind of intelligence and it treasured it a lot.

If he was able to transform into a human, he probably would have its head on the ground to express his loyalty.

After all, no sharp wind or deadly snow was scarier than Xin Shisiniang.

He noticed that Xin Shisiniang did not show any strange reaction, there was no pity or mockery when she saw him sitting in a wheelchair, which made him felt good for some reason.

Since this was the case, he felt that Xin Shiniang's direct attitude was incomparable to the other females he had met in his life.

He spoke gently, "It is because you are too beautiful that the word 'good' is not enough to describe you. I could not think of anything else to say and I think that the layman's description of comparing your looks to the flowers and moon would be a disgrace to you."

"Young man, you shouldn't compliment her or else she would be too much of herself. Since we have met by fate, why don't you come in and have a chat?" It was that old voice again.

"You first, elder one. There is no reason for me, the younger generation, to not obey you."

Once they entered the house, it turned out to be a meditation adobe. It was clean and brightly lit.

The elder's clothing was neat and tidy, his white hair like silver, with an air of scholarly refinement, which was the complete opposite of Xin Shisiniang's unpredictable character.

The two sword slaves were by each side of the young man as they pushed him towards the older, Xin Shisiniang was standing behind the elderly man.

The elder spoke, "My surname is Xin, and this is my daughter, Shisiniang. To be able to travel in this snowy night, young man, is quite an unordinary feat. Where are you from?"

"I am Ye Liuyun, nice to meet your Elder Xin."

"So you are the young master of Mingjian Peak, no wonder you possess this kind of manner and graceful bearing."

Ye Liuyun thought to himself, "There is a saying that one should be careful of three kinds of people when navigating through Jianghu: old people, women, and children. This pair of father and daughter had fulfilled the first two kinds, it is truly interesting of them to be able to reveal my background in one go."

"I did not think that my name would reach the ears of Elder one. It is truly my honor. If you do not mind me asking, who are you? Forgive me for being crude and unlearned for not being able to recognize your brilliance."

The old man smiled faintly and did not answer. Instead, he raised his wine cup.

Ye Liuyun had a great capacity for liquor but after downing a few cups, he felt a slight drunkenness. He already did not know what followed next.

When he regained consciousness, it was already early in the morning and he was already back into the palanquin.

When he opened the curtain, Jian Shisi and Jian Shisan were spooked at the same time. Here was already the official pathway that was situated below the mountains, the outer wall of the State Capital of Qing was in sight over the distance.

Ye Liuyun muttered, "What happened last night?"

Jian Shisan answered: "Yesterday, I think we entered into a temple at the top of the mountain to stay for the night. How did we wake up and end up here? "

Jian Shisi kept his silence because what Jian Shisan said was what he knew about so there was no need to say more.

Ye Liuyun recalled the events that had happened yesterday and sighed softly, "It's true that behind an able man, there are always other able men. Either the father-daughter pair we met yesterday were superlunary immortals or they were demons in disguise, or else why would they quietly trick us?"

"Luckily they did not have any bad intentions."

"There is no need to be suspicious of whether demons are not brave enough to behave recklessly in the mortal realm. Let us enter the State Capital of Qing, retrieve that item to avoid any unforeseen events," Ye Liuyun, on the other hand, came up with a decision, there was no point of becoming entangled with the events of the past. The original amount of words he used were four words in the text ("少主想去").
