Chapter 255: 255, [A Gift of Nature to You] (Seeking Monthly Tickets at the End of the Month)

Translator: 549690339

At the Demon Sect’s Yanwu Peak, a group of Outer Sect disciples were cheering for Ji Li, but her gaze never left Lu Xun.

Just like the lyrics of a song:

“But I only gaze into his eyes, I am indifferent to the cheers of the multitude.”

Even in her final speech, Ji Li attributed all her success to Lu Xun, claiming it was all thanks to his insights.

Listening to this, Lu Xun was slightly taken aback on stage, even appearing a bit bewildered, though he quickly managed to squeeze out a gratified smile.

In reality, Lu Xun did contribute significantly to Ji Li’s victory, and not in a small way.

He taught Ji Li the technique “Pink Ink” and even made a custom-fitted soft armor for her.

While they were training at the base of the mountain, he was the one who whipped her into shape day after day, night after night – molding her into a qualified…Female Sword Cultivator.

However, these were just some of the factors. The primary factor was Ji Li’s own hard work.

Now, it should have been Ji Li’s shining moment, but instead, all eyes were on Lu Xun.

Unsurprisingly, this scene would definitely be posted on the forum by players.

And, with the players’ imaginative storytelling abilities, they would certainly spin all sorts of nonsensical tales about it.

However, through this, the value of the Purple Palace was also exhibited. Many professional players would contemplate:

“If I could have more interactions with the Purple Palace, would my abilities also improve swiftly?”

For them, the game was their career – the stronger they became, the more they earned!

On the stage, Zhao Suihan took a look at Ji Li and then at Lu Xun, and his face—an avid fan of them—was filled with an auntie-like smile.

Xiao Ran looked at her master’s smiling face and heard her master comment sentimentally, “Ah, youth is wonderful.”

She speculated that her master was probably reminiscing about past events related to Yan Li.

She must have heard these stories countless times, half-true and half-false, and with Zhao Suihan’s unique spin, they probably included quite a bit of artistic embellishment.

In fact, more like a lot of artistic embellishment!

Xiao Ran glanced at Lu Xun in the distance, taking in his unparalleled appearance and demeanor, and thought to herself:

“A man like Uncle Lu probably has a great pool of female admirers, right?”

With that thought, she touched her forehead and noticed that it was somewhat hot.

The Demon Sect’s Outer Sect competition had come to an end. Apart from Zhao Suihan and Xiao Ran, all the other guests began to take their leave.

She decided to stay at the Demon Sect for a few more days, and would go to the back mountain to request to see Yan Li.

At the moment, Lu Xun had gone to personally see off Sect Leader Mo Beipo of Tianque Gate and his adorable, legal loli-like daughter, Mo Qingqing.

Mo Qingqing didn’t dare to talk or even look directly at Lu Xun while he was saying farewell. She just kept sneaking glances at him.

In fact, not only her, but many guests had brought younger generation members from their Sects to watch the competition. Everyone was taken aback by Lu Xun’s power.

Perhaps, they would never forget the scene where over a dozen longswords were suspended in the air under his single glance. Of course…there was also his unparalleled face.

“Master Mo, among the newly-recruited disciples in the Tianque Gate, what’s the ratio of Anomalies?” Lu Xun asked while walking.

“At first, we didn’t have a clear idea, but as we started observing, we found quite a few. Many were only revealed to be Anomalies after they had joined,” Mo Beipo replied.

He kept Lu Xun’s previous words in mind and welcomed players. Also, after the previous battle, Tianque Gate had gained fame in the Three Thousand Mountain Area. It became the top choice for the players in Three Thousand Mountains.

Once the players joined the sect, they would definitely seek ways to level up quickly. To Mo Beipo’s eyes, this meant that these Anomalies cultivated rapidly, and were excellent talents.

This was the same as receiving a bunch of little prodigies!

With that thought, Mo Beipo, who was as unsightly as Wu Dalang, laughed himself to sleep every night!

With this thought, Mo Beipo turned around and gave Lu Xun a deep bow, “All of this is thanks to your advice that day.”

Lu Xun waved an absent hand, “Master Mo, you are too polite, there is no need for such formalities between us.”

After thinking for a while, Lu Xun seriously said, “Master Mo, I have said this before, but I will say it again today.”

“You must remember, Anomalies can be used, but when entrusting them with significant tasks, you must consider the decision thoroughly, then once more, then again!”

Seeing Lu Xun’s serious expression, Mo Beipo immediately responded, “I will keep this in mind.”

Lu Xun nodded, not saying anything more.

From his memories, some small sects started off with good luck, quickly growing due to the players, but also ended badly due to some absurd characteristics of the players, stirring up trouble.

Rise due to players, fall due to players.

He certainly wouldn’t want the Tianque Gate to be ruined by these absurd players.

Before leaving, Mo Qingqing still didn’t muster up the courage to speak to Lu Xun. Her shy behavior was drastically different from her previous demeanor in Tianque Gate.

In fact, in that big battle, Mo Qingqing was quite fierce, leading Tianque Gate’s players and disciples to a valiant fight. Her shy demeanor now was a total contrast to that.

Seeing this, Lu Xun found it somewhat funny.

It reminded him of the so-called campus heartthrobs during his school days. Ordinary girls would hesitate to approach them casually.

Perhaps this was the terrifying aspect of someone with maximum charisma. Many people would feel unworthy, afraid to approach him, treating him like a Moon in their heart that they could look at but not touch.

After seeing off Mo Beipo and his daughter, Lu Xun glanced down from the stage. He noticed Ji Li was still standing there without returning to the Outer Sect. Obviously, she was waiting for him.

So, Lu Xun smiled and said to Mao Nanbei and Lin Chan, “Fourth Senior Sister, Little Chan, you two go back to the back mountain first. I’ll be back later.”

“Okay.” Mao Nanbei simply replied. She was ready to take Lin Chan and fly back to the mountain when she turned around and said, “Little Junior Brother, don’t forget, you owe me a month of desserts!”

“I remember. I will make them for you when I get back.” Lu Xun said as he tugged at her cat ears.

A century-old cat still had a sweet tooth all the time.

That being said, ordinary cats are unable to taste sweetness due to a genetic defect.

But little loli, being a cat-eared girl, was naturally different.

It was not until everyone left that Lu Xun flew to the edge of the platform and joked to Ji Li, “What? Do you want me to take you back to the Outer Sect?”

“Yes, please!” Surprisingly, Ji Li agreed at once.

Lu Xun took out a paper crane and said, “Come on.”

Along the way, Lu Xun flew slowly because he felt that Ji Li was always waiting for him, as she probably had something to say.

She then turned her head and said, “Lu Xun, the contest is over now. I think I should return this soft armor.”

Lu Xun gently patted her head and said, “It’s a gift for you, not a loan. Playing the used underwear game at such a young age?”

“Huh? What do you mean by ‘used underwear’?” Ji Li was puzzled.

Lu Xun did not explain further, instead he asked, “Did you wait for me so long just to tell me this?”

Ji Li shook her head, leaned in, and said, “No! I’ve finally won the first prize, and I just want to hear you compliment me in person!”

She then raised her head and puffed her chest, saying: “Now it’s your turn! One hundred words of praise, stat!”

Unlike her previous modesty, she finally had a little smug look on her face now.

She is still a young girl after all.

Lu Xun flicked her forehead, praised her as she wanted, and pointed out some flaws in her performance in the big match.

As Ji Li listened to Lu Xun’s words, she didn’t feel uncomfortable when he pointed out her shortcomings, on the contrary, she felt a little sweet inside, thinking:

“He was watching every match of mine so attentively.”

When they reached the mountain top of the Outer Sect, Lu Xun said to Ji Li, “If you are free, accompany me to a place to visit someone.”

“Sure!” Ji Li would have immediately freed up her schedule, even if she had been otherwise occupied.

“Who are we visiting?” Ji Li asked curiously.

“The Marquis in the Sword Pond, I wonder if he’s awake yet.” Lu Xun replied with a bitter smile.

He was still puzzled. He had definitely held back, so how did the guy end up vomiting blood, fainting, and getting seriously injured?

It seemed illogical.

Challengers who were severely injured during the contest would rest in the Outer Sect of Demon Sect for a while. The contest lasted five days. Marquis passed out on the first day and hadn’t woken up for the next few days.

When Lu Xun and Ji Li arrived where Marquis was healing, they found that he was already awake and was practicing sword in the courtyard.

He was practicing one of the simplest moves – a stab!

Considering he was in good health, this sword addict simply couldn’t sit still.

When Marquis saw Lu Xun coming, he immediately sheathed his sword, came forward, and bowed, “I pay my respects to Elder Lu!”

As mentioned before, when Marquis challenged Lu Xun, he performed an ancient ceremony. Having accepted the challenge, Lu Xun was thus considered his mentor.

It was natural for him to bow to Lu Xun. Lu Xun accepted it calmly, or else it would seem as if he was looking down on him.

“How is your health? Why did you rush to practice the sword?” Lu Xun asked.

Marquis immediately replied, “I’m making a good recovery. I only started practicing the sword when I felt I was well enough, otherwise it would be a waste of your labor, wouldn’t it?”

Lu Xun:

What did he mean by that?

Although Lu Xun did give him some advice, he always felt that there was some other meaning in Marquis’s words.

The Demon Sect’s players and disciples who passed by greeted Lu Xun. Some gossipy people didn’t leave immediately, but stood at a distance and watched.

Despite so many people watching, Marquis still confidently placed his bronze sword without a tip on the stone table, and then bowed deeply again.

It was the ancient ritual again.

He lowered his head and saluted, speaking loudly and sincerely, “When Marquis woke up, he thought he was seriously injured, but he didn’t expect that it was Elder Lu’s remnant sword intent that unclogged one of his obstructed meridians!”

Lu Xun was stunned and couldn’t understand it at all.

Did I… did I do that?

Ji Li, standing beside him, was taken aback, then her surprise turned into admiration.

Even the players and disciples standing at a distance were astonished.

“So Marquis was not seriously injured by my young elder (Purple Palace), but he helped him unclog a cultivation meridian!”

How did he do it!?

Marquis was still bowing, without straightening up, and his hands clasped in salute began to tremble slightly.

He’s just an ordinary person who knows very well that he is mediocre.

He has made too many sacrifices to achieve what he has today.

Although it was just the unclogging of one meridian, he was immensely grateful.

The fire in his stove was too inadequate. An extra piece of coal would be a great favor to him.

Therefore, although Marquis’ voice was loud, it also trembled slightly. He said earnestly and loudly:

“Thank you, elder, for granting me this wonderful opportunity!”
