Chu Qingxiao put the Liaoyuan Sword into his sword box as he wished.
Next, he only needs to take this sword to the Yaoguang Sword Pond and hand it over to the Soul-Suppressing Person of the Yaoguang Sword Pond. His mission will be considered completed.
He can also get the five hundred spiritual iron jade as reward.
This should be a very happy thing, but Chu Qingxiao was still a little uneasy in his heart.
The old man is reluctant to part with the sword, and the sword is reluctant to part with the old man.
But they still have to separate.
Just like him and his fellow villagers in Wuling City.
Birth, old age, illness and death, joys and sorrows seem to be the norm in the world, and it seems that they should be commonplace.
But actually getting involved in it is still hard to control yourself.
Chu Qingxiao spent some effort to restrain himself from these inappropriate thoughts. He said goodbye to Sun Li. Before leaving, the old man who spoke freely and casually grabbed Chu Qingxiao's sleeve.
Chu Qingxiao thought he had changed his mind and was thinking about whether to release the prairie fire sword, but he heard the old man say after a period of silence: "If everything goes well, remember to come back and give me a message."
Of course he would come back to report to him, after all, he still had to get the reward of the five hundred spiritual iron jade from his hand.
Sun Li also understood this.
So this exhortation is more like a piece of nonsense that has nothing to say.
In fact, it is indeed nonsense.
But bullshit sometimes makes no sense.
But sometimes, nonsense itself has meaning.
Say something, even if it doesn't matter.
Just like what parents always say before their children leave.
For example, remember to eat well.
For example, if it gets cold, remember to put on extra clothes.
You always think that these words are because your parents think you are still a child and are worried that you cannot take care of yourself.
But in fact, when your parents let you go away, they already know that you have grown up and you can take care of yourself.
Those bits and pieces and nagging instructions before departure are just because if you say one more sentence, you will listen to one more, and they will be able to look at you for a while longer.
After saying this, Sun Li's eyes seemed to be a little red, but he immediately let go of Chu Qingxiao's hand.
"Let's go."
He waved his hands and said.
Chu Qingxiao knew what the old man was thinking. He nodded, solemnly bowed his hands towards the old man, saluted, and then turned and left.
…
Things have come to this point.
For Chu Qingxiao, this commission can be regarded as the most important step completed.
But he cannot directly send the sword to the Yaoguang Sword Pond - after all, he is still just a handyman disciple. He cannot go to Tianxuan Mountain at all, and there is no way to bring the prairie fire sword to the Yaoguang Sword Pond.
But this is not too difficult. After all, his home is guarded by a divine peak like Lu Sandao who holds the real power in Qingque Peak.
All he needs is her help to say a few words to the door, or maybe take her along with him.
The road to the Yaoguang Sword Pond was not too much trouble for Chu Qingxiao.
It's just that I was delayed a lot of time in Qinghuan Mansion today, and also spent a lot of time in Sun Li's residence.
It was getting dark now, and Chu Qingxiao thought of going home to rest for a day, and then go on the road with Lu Sandao tomorrow to deliver the sword to Yaoguang Sword Pond.
With this thought in mind, he slowly walked home.
Although, it was a bit sad for Chu Qingxiao to separate Liaoyuanjian from Sun.
But this was the old man's own decision, and secondly it was the rules of Tianxuan Mountain, so Chu Qingxiao couldn't say much.
No matter how you put it, the five hundred pieces of spiritual iron jade that are about to be obtained are considered a huge sum of money for everyone.
Chu Qingxiao opened the door of his courtyard and deliberately told everyone the good news.
But just as the door was opened, an angry sound of curses came from the courtyard.
"Asshole! Let me go!"
"Kidnapping others, according to Dayu's laws, will result in a corvée penalty!"
"You bastards are ignoring the law and treating my world as your own private land?"
"The sages have said that law is the foundation of governing a country, and chaos is the root of the country's destruction."
"It is because of you people who disregard the law that our country, Yu, is as devastated as it is today!"
The man was frothing with curses. Chu Qingxiao looked closely and saw a young man in his early twenties, who was being tied to the ground. He was twisting his body there, his face flushed, and he was moving towards
Everyone kept yelling angrily.
Meng Jin Ziyu and others were sitting around the stone table, eating the delicious food sent from Jinyu Hall, while staring at the young man.
Probably because they were too fascinated by the scene, Meng Ziliang and others were unaware of Chu Qingxiao's return.
However, Yue Jian kept looking towards the courtyard door from time to time. She had good news to tell Chu Qingxiao.
She received a commission that seemed great. If she could complete the commission, the expenses for her participation in the inner sect selection and Meng Ziliang's sword-teaching conference would be covered.
However, she was somewhat unsure. After all, the commission seemed too simple, and the reward was too generous.
She was determined to share the good news with Chu Qingxiao, and also hoped that Chu Qingxiao could give her some advice on this matter.
So when he saw Chu Qingxiao appear, Yue Jian felt happy and stood up to greet him.
But just as she took her steps, a figure walked up to Chu Qingxiao before her.
It's Chu Zhaozhao!
Yue Jian frowned, feeling dissatisfied in his heart, but he did not give up his intention to step forward, but at this moment, Chu Qingxiao saw a real smile on his face when he saw Chu Zhaozhao.
That look made Yue Jian's heart sink. Looking at the two people talking and laughing, the steps he wanted to take forward became extremely heavy for some reason.
"Why are you back so late?" Chu Zhaozhao, who came forward to greet him, looked at Chu Qingxiao with concern and asked.
Chu Qingxiao said: "Some things have been delayed. I have received a good commission. If it can be completed, I think we can breathe a sigh of relief."
Chu Zhaozhao looked a little strange when he heard this: "What's going on today? Why do you all say you have a big harvest when you come back?"
This was something Chu Qingxiao had not expected. He asked curiously: "How do you say this?"
Chu Zhaozhao turned back and pointed at Meng Ziliang, and saw a mountain of spiritual iron jade piled up in front of him: "Meng Ziliang has found a commission to teach people to learn swordsmanship, one hundred and fifty spiritual iron jade per day."
Jade is his reward, that is what he has gained today..."
"What?!" Chu Qingxiao's eyes widened. He thought that his harvest of 500 pieces of spiritual iron jade was enough to make everyone jealous for a while, but he didn't expect that Meng Ziliang could earn 150 pieces in one day, and from Chu
Zhaozhao's description seemed to mean that he would be able to gain something like this every day in the future.
"But..." Chu Qingxiao frowned, with unacceptable expression written all over his face.
Chu Zhaozhao shrugged his shoulders, obviously understanding Chu Qingxiao's doubts.
After all, with Meng Ziliang's little ability, they were well-connected. What kind of person could let him teach him how to learn swordsmanship and also give him such a generous reward every day?
"I heard that the employer is a rich lady, maybe..." Chu Zhaozhao muttered in a low voice. Although the words were not spoken clearly, the implication was clear.
"Brother Meng, he is really born with a good life..." Chu Qingxiao couldn't help but sigh, first there was Zheng Lingyin, a disciple of Tianxuan Mountain, then there was Nangong Yunfu, the eldest lady of the Nangong family, and now there is another eldest lady who comes from nowhere. Give a helping hand.
Is it possible that what Ziyu said is true? What kind of genius is useless? After breaking off the engagement and getting a son-in-law, is he really the template for the protagonist?
"Why are you envious of him? Don't you have a weakling who is more powerful than him?" Chu Zhaozhao rolled his eyes at Chu Qingxiao at this moment and asked angrily.
When he said this, Chu Qingxiao could clearly smell a sour smell in the air.
He smiled coquettishly, quickly changed the subject, and looked at the young man who was cursing on the ground: "What about this? What's going on?"
"He looks very powerful, and he can't even scold anyone without citing the classics..."
Chu Zhaozhao shrugged his shoulders again and took Chu Qingxiao to sit at the stone table. He thoughtfully brought him bowls and chopsticks and said, "Ask Miss Meng Jin, she brought it back."
Meng Jin took a big mouthful of food at this time, and then said: "The task he received in Qinghuan Mansion was entrusted by his father to let him get rid of the bad habit of playing with things and becoming discouraged, and practice swordsmanship well."
"Who said that not practicing swordsmanship is a bad habit? There are tens of thousands of living beings in the world of Yu. Is it true that everyone has to work hard at Tianxuan Mountain?" As soon as Meng Jin finished speaking, the young man who was tied to the ground beside him started to speak. Roared loudly.
"What this guy said makes sense." Chu Qingxiao sighed sincerely, but couldn't help but glance at him sideways and look at the other person carefully.
The young man looked ordinary, with a bit of bookishness on his face. There was nothing special about him, but he had an unruly air and didn't look like he could be easily persuaded.
"What's the point?" Meng Jin rolled his eyes, quite dissatisfied with Chu Qingxiao's behavior of "surrendering to the enemy": "Eating from his father, spending money from his father, in order to let him practice swordsmanship, all the houses in his family were sold. Yes, but he is fine. He just hangs out with a group of bad friends every day. No matter how good the principles are, he can't do anything humanly, right?"
"I am!" The young man tried to argue something, but when the words came to his mouth, he suddenly stopped for some reason.
Chu Qingxiao just thought that he had been stabbed in a sore spot by Meng Jin and had no way to argue. He didn't think much about it. He just looked at Meng Jin with some confusion: "But you kidnapped him back? Can you make him change his ways?"
Obviously, Chu Qingxiao did not agree with Meng Jin's violent education method.
"Don't worry, my sister is very knowledgeable about education." Meng Ziliang said this at this time, with a sad look on his face, as if he had thought of some memories that he didn't want to recall.
"What do you think?" Chu Qingxiao was a little curious.
Meng Ziliang blinked his eyes and said: "Beat me first, and then I can reason with you after the beating..."
Chu Qingxiao frowned: "This method is not particularly unusual. My father used to do it..."
Meng Ziliang lowered his head at this moment, and while immersed in cooking, he continued what he had just said in a muffled voice: "Then fight again, and then reason again, over and over again, until you agree with her truth..."
