Chapter 560: Elder Su’s Plan!
On the elevated platform, a group of elders and Dharma Protectors gathered to congratulate Elder Su.
In the Grand Swordsmanship Competition, who could compare to the reputation of the Thirty-Sixth Sword Peak?
Their sharp eyesight was truly remarkable, and even the young girl Xu Jiahui showed great potential. Especially the mysterious Su Yi, whom Elder Su had encountered somewhere—this time, Elder Su had indeed found a promising disciple.
“Um, same joy, same joy!”
Elder Su nodded and responded to everyone, a slight smile appearing on his face.
“The news today may not be able to stay a secret. It will probably spread quickly, and some disciples may attract attention.”
An elder said this, adding that the Grand Swordsmanship Competition was such a grand event that other top forces in the Central Region had always kept an eye on it.
Although it was held within the Divine Sword School, spies from other forces were certainly present.
Just like the Divine Sword School, they had always been very cautious, placing spies within other forces as well. It was impossible to keep such a grand event a secret.
Yun Lingfeng, Liu Yunchuan, and especially Mu Yao and Su Yi—these individuals might soon attract the attention of other forces.
“It seems like before long, the names Mu Yao and Su Yi will become well-known in this area!”
An elder chuckled and added, “With the way Mu Yao and Su Yi performed today, it’s likely that these two rising stars will soon become the center of attention among the major forces in the Central Region.”
Situ Liuyun’s gaze flickered as if he were pondering something.
He knew very well that if such a young boy could truly stay at the Divine Sword School, it would be a great fortune for the school.
“Hmmph!”
On the plaza, Gong Qi let out a soft hum in her throat as she gazed at the young boy surrounded by a crowd on the duel platform. But deep within her beautiful eyes, ripples of emotion appeared.
“Who is this kid, and where did he suddenly come from?”
Liu Yunchuan, Gu Chenyou, Ou Luo, and the others seemed to be in a state of awe and astonishment.
At that moment, they realized that this was the same person many people had surrounded in the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords back then.
That guy had been running everywhere, completely unafraid of them, yet he simply didn’t want to engage with them at all.
If he had wanted to, none of them would have stood a chance and would likely have been completely overwhelmed.
…
As the sun began to set, on top of the Thirty-Sixth Sword Peak,
In the courtyard, Xu Jiahui, Zhang Qing, Liu Ji, Qing Chao, and Wang Fan stood quietly. Their eyes were lowered, indicating a sense of nervousness.
“Get ready. Tomorrow, you will go to the Ninth Sword Peak!”
Elder Su sat upright, gazing at the five disciples in front of him, and spoke.
“Elder Su, I made a mistake, and I’m sorry. Please don’t kick me out; I want to stay on the Thirty-Sixth Sword Peak!”
Upon hearing that, Xu Jiahui trembled, and her face turned pale. She immediately knelt down, thinking that she had made a big mistake and was going to be expelled by Elder Su.
“Get up, you’re not wrong.”
In the eyes of others, Elder Su, whose temperament was unpredictable, stood up and warmly helped Xu Jiahui to her feet. With a loving gaze, he said, “Elder Duan has spoken to me. She will guide you well; it is the best for you. Now, focus on your training.”
“Elder Su, I…” Xu Jiahui’s eyes flickered with emotion.
Elder Su interrupted her and said, “Go on. Your talent is remarkable. Don’t let your family down. Have you practiced the nameless cultivation method that I taught you?”
“Master, I am always practicing it.”
Xu Jiahui nodded. Shortly after arriving at the Thirty-Sixth Sword Peak, Elder Su entrusted her with a set of unnamed cultivation methods. He had instructed her to keep it secret and to practice diligently, and she had been doing so ever since.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Qing, Liu Ji, and the others secretly felt envious.
No wonder Xu Jiahui, who was several years younger than them, had always been stronger compared to them ever since they arrived at the Thirty-Sixth Sword Peak.
They were surprised to learn that Elder Su had secretly been helping her. They couldn’t help but feel extremely jealous and envious.
“That cultivation method may not be a priceless treasure, but it has some history. On your first day at the Thirty-Sixth Sword Peak, I could tell that you had potential. I didn’t want to ruin your talent, so these years at the Thirty-Sixth Sword Peak have helped build your character. It will benefit you in the future. When you reach the Ninth Sword Peak, strive to cultivate diligently, so that you won’t bring shame to the reputation of the Divine Sword School!”
As Elder Su finished speaking, he handed Xu Jiahui a small bottle. He said, “Inside this bottle, there are special medicines that can help strengthen your body. Whenever you have the chance, come back to the Thirty-Sixth Sword Peak. As long as I am here, you can visit anytime.”
Holding the jade bottle that Elder Su had handed over, Xu Jiahui’s eyes became moist.
“Thank you, Elder Su.”
Xu Jiahui knelt down and bowed three times, her throat choked with emotion.
“But if you don’t practice well in the future, then don’t come back.”
Elder Su smiled calmly and then looked at Zhang Qing, Qing Chao, and the others. He said, “Zhang Qing, you should also go to Dharma Protector Hou Changming. As for the three of you, I believe that with your current talents, it is possible for you to become direct disciples of the Divine Sword School. Go your separate ways now.”
“Elder Su, I’m not going anymore. I want to stay at the Thirty-Sixth Sword Peak.”
Zhang Qing immediately knelt down, his eyes becoming slightly misty with tears. Staying at the Thirty-Sixth Sword Peak would be quite wonderful.
“Get up. The day you became my disciple, you became like a son to me. Now that you have taken me as your master, I expect you to practice diligently. Don’t bring any shame to the reputation of the Thirty-Sixth Sword Peak. Otherwise, I won’t spare you.”
Elder Su kicked Zhang Qing directly on his bottom, raising an eyebrow. His voice softened as he said, “You can also come back and visit when you have free time.”
“Yes, Elder Su,” replied Zhang Qing.
Zhang Qing bowed his head, feeling a sudden urge to shed tears. He couldn’t understand why, but there was a time when he had longed for the chance to become an inner disciple or a direct disciple and leave. However, at this moment, he couldn’t help but feel reluctant to leave.
“Elder Su, I won’t leave. I want to stay on the Thirty-Sixth Sword Peak!”
“Elder Su, I’m not leaving either!”
“I am too. I am not leaving either!”
Qing Chao, Liu Ji, and Wang Fan all knelt down together. The three of them had made a decision—they didn’t want to leave. After all, Boss Su Yi was still at the Thirty-Sixth Sword Peak!
“In my peak, you are outer disciples. When you go to other places, there is a high chance you will become direct disciples.”
Elder Su looked at Liu Ji and the others as he spoke. His gaze moved across their bodies.
“Even if we could only be outer disciples, we wouldn’t give up. We climbed up the Thirty-Sixth Sword Peak, so we are the people of the Thirty-Sixth Sword Peak!”
Liu Ji blinked secretly. They knew very well that everything they had now was thanks to Boss Su Yi.
Even if they went to other sword peaks now and became direct disciples, the benefits they would receive wouldn’t compare to what they had with Boss Su Yi.
Without Boss Su Yi, no one would look after them anymore in the future.
Elder Su looked at the three people, his gaze moving across them. Then he calmly said, “If you want to stay, you can stay.”
As soon as the words were spoken, Elder Su’s figure suddenly vanished from the hall, disappearing without a trace.
“Hey, what is this?”
At the same time, in front of Liu Ji, Qing Chao, and Wang Fan, something unexpected happened. Each of them suddenly found a precious sword appearing in front of them, silently and without warning.
“Buzz…”
Startled, the three of them quickly drew their swords from their sheaths, causing a resounding clang to echo through the air. Suddenly, a brilliant light filled the hall, shimmering with vibrant colors. The air became charged with an enchanting energy, and the dazzling light illuminated everything around them.
