Chapter 182: 182, [Elder Lu really is a gentle person]
Translator: 549690339
“Elder Lu!”
The corners of Lu Xun’s mouth twitched slightly as he heard the somewhat familiar voice.
He looked to his left.
The newcomer was wearing a blue robe, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes. His long hair was casually scattering, adding a touch of boldness and unruliness to his appearance.
His posture was erect, just like a drawn longsword. Every move he made demonstrated an inherent nobleness.
No matter where he stood, he would always be the center of attention.
Unless he stood next to Lu Xun.
“Why is Scum Man Ye here?” Lu Xun blinked.
The young man was none other than Ye Sui’an, Lu Xun’s diehard fan.
After leaving Turtle’s Longevity, he sailed on a leaf boat at full speed towards Ghost’s Grief.
He needed experience, urgently wanting to improve himself.
Not that he wanted to defeat Lu Xun, he just wanted to keep up with Elder Lu’s pace!
If it wasn’t for the fact that he couldn’t suppress his cultivation halfway and took a few days to break through to the Second Realm, he could’ve arrived here even earlier.
After all, Lu Xun and the others strolled along the way, spending quite a bit of time on three meals a day. If they had spare time, they might wander around. One might even think they were on a leisurely vacation.
Of course, Ye Sui’an did “waste” a little time on the way. As one of the world protagonists with a charisma of 9, his suitors were always plenty. He didn’t understand rejection, casual flings were the usual for him.
In the past, he enjoyed it, indulging in spreading his charm, but recently he was somewhat listless.
And the more he neared the end, the less he felt!
“Indeed, romantic love is trivial. We, Sword Cultivators, should pursue the Great Path like Elder Lu, pioneer the path for posterity, and contribute to the eternal glory of swordsmanship!”
Ye Sui’an felt enlightened.
His thinking elevated!
From then on, he, Ye, the young lord of Sword Mountain, began to focus on his journey, striving to rush to Ghost’s Grief at the fastest speed.
The Hero’s graveyard awaits in the tender country, Ghost’s Grief, here I come!
Like this, he set off later than Lu Xun but arrived earlier.
He overtook him.
Wait, why does this phrase sound strange?
Seeing the excited Ye Sui’an approaching quickly, Lu Xun quietly took Lin Chan’s small hand and gently pulled her behind him, using his body to block her completely.
Ye Sui’an didn’t pay much attention to Lin Chan, his gaze remained on Lu Xun.
“Elder Lu, I didn’t expect to meet you here after our last meeting at the Demon Sect. What a fate!” the smile on Ye Sui’an’s face was broad.
Lu Xun courteously smiled back but suddenly didn’t know what to say.
Instead, the cold-faced disciples of Boundless Mountain around them were surprised.
They already knew about Ye Sui’an’s identity, then who was this man in the bamboo hat?
Only having Initial Realm cultivation base, yet Ye Sui’an addressed him as ‘Elder’ every now and then?
From what Ye Sui’an said, did this guy come from the Demon Sect?
The Demon Sect, with the surname Lu… Could it be that famous one!?
The cold-faced disciples of Boundless Mountain appeared emotionless as always, but their gaze betrayed their shock.
What’s going on these days? After Xiao Ran, Ye Sui’an arrived, and now the Young Elder from Demon Sect is here too!
Are they here to spoil the show on Boundless Mountain?
Lu Xun removed his bamboo hat. The gazes of the cold-faced disciples from Boundless Mountain were unavoidably taken aback, and several even drifted off deep in thought.
On his face was a courteous smile, clearly a professional fake one, but Ye Sui’an thought that Elder Lu was as gentle as always.
Modest and gentle, just like warm jade.
Didn’t feel distant at all!
So, he continued, “Elder Lu, are you also coming to challenge Ghost’s Grief?”
Lu Xun nodded and said, “Yes.”
But he thought to himself, “Isn’t that obvious? Or do you think I’m here specifically to see you?”
Immediately, Ye Sui’an reached out his hand and said, “Elder Lu, please come this way. The entrance is over here. Let me lead the way for you.”
The disciples from Boundless Mountain: “???”
Isn’t that supposed to be our job!
Lu Xun’s mouth twitched slightly, but he still followed Ye Sui’an onwards.
Of course, he continued to position himself protectively between Lin Chan and danger, ready to counterattack at the first sign of ill will towards her.
In the Ghost’s Grief, there was also a ranking displayed, but it was the ‘Decade Ranking’, computed every ten years.
Now, Ye Sui’an’s name was prominently displayed at the top of the list, tied with Xiao Ran for first place.
It seemed he had arrived early, already having ventured into the Trial Ground and directly securing himself a first place achievement.
However, behind their names, neither Ye Sui’an nor Xiao Ran had the words ‘Clearance Passed’, which meant that both of them had not fully completed the Trial Ground.
“They probably got stuck at the very end,” Lu Xun figured.
The Ghost’s Grief was for those below level 30, which made it far from a beginner’s instance and much more difficult than the Turtle’s Longevity.
The Explosive Temper Great Cane Hero of Lu Xun’s previous life barely managed to break into the final stage, but was still a far cry from the last hurdle.
At the entrance, a female disciple was in charge of registration. When she saw Lu Xun, she was taken aback.
She had just been swooning over Ye Sui’an, but now her attention shifted to Lu Xun, entranced by his looks.
This man was even more handsome than Ye Sui’an, the most handsome man in the West State!
Lu Xun noticed the woman, her expressionless face flushing and her attempt at a smile appearing somewhat strained due to her facial paralysis.
This made Boundless Mountain somewhat unpopular among female players; it took effort to create a beautiful face, only for it to become paralyzed once they joined Boundless Mountain, making it seem as though they’ve had too many botox injections! Disgusting!
“Demon Sect, Lu Xun.” Lu Xun opened with.
Meanwhile, he could not shake the chill down his spine, a sensation which made him feel watched from the shadows.
Presumably, it must be Snake Sauce, the Guardian of Ghost’s Grief.
Well, ‘Snake Sauce’ was actually a nickname given by the players.
Typical of gamers, they would give cool characters cute and flamboyant nicknames.
This character was a snake demon, a formidable beast. He was commonly referred to as the ‘Snake Elder’, and his strength was believed to be on par with the Elder E in Turtle’s Longevity.
Turning around, Lu Xun spotted him sitting on a branch of an ancient tree behind him, shrouded within his cloak. His face was obscured, and all that were visible were his green, snakelike eyes!
Upon noticing Lu Xun’s gaze, he nodded slightly in acknowledgment.
After all, the Demon Sect and Boundless Mountain were both among the top three Demon Sects, and Lu Xun was a disciple of his master. Therefore, he would grant Lu Xun the basic respect, irrespective of his fearsome and intimidating status as a formidable beast.
Of course, Ye Sui’an did not receive such treatment.
Lin Chan, guarded by Lu Xun, seemed uneasy with the cold aura and her face turned slightly pale.
Mao Nanbei jumped onto Lin Chan, letting Lin Chan hold her, thus shielding her from the chilling aura. She then glared at the Snake Elder on the tree.
The Snake Elder’s figure flashed and disappeared, leaving the area, and the chilling atmosphere dissipated with his departure.
The female disciple in charge of registration, planting her face coldly, with a trembling voice lowered her head, not daring to look at Lu Xun and said, “Tha..that will be five hundred Spirit Stones.”
“Quite expensive,” Lu Xun thought.
But, if even a member of the Demon Sect like him had to pay 500, wouldn’t that mean Ye Sui’an would have to pay 1000?
Luckily, Lu Xun’s Storage Ring had a large number of Spirit Stones. His monthly wages of the past months already amounted to over 10,000, and his third Elder Brother had given him another 10,000, so he had well over 20,000 Spirit Stones.
He directly took out 1,000 Spirit Stones, covering for Little Chan as well.
Only at this moment did Ye Sui’an shift his focus onto Lin Chan. frёeωebɳovel.com
But, it was only a brief glance.
Then, he set his passionate gaze back onto Lu Xun.
Lu Xun turned toward Lin Chan, quietly asking, “Do you want to go first or should I?”
Lin Chan looked at Lu Xun, then at Ye Sui’an.
She then pointed at herself.
She wanted to explore the path for her master first.
She remembered clearly, after her master dueled Ye Sui’an at the Demon Sect Receiving Peak, he had specifically asked her, “What do you think of Ye Sui’an?”
It seemed like her master saw him as a rival.
So, her master must win!
In Lin Chan’s heart, after her grandfather’s death, the best person in the world was her master, and no one else could compare.
“Take it easy,” Lu Xun said gently.
Ye Sui’an, standing nearby, thought internally, “Elder Lu is such a gentle person!”
