37: Have you forgotten all the sword techniques I taught you?

"Alright, enough about me. I heard you're finally going to confirm the Young Sect Master of your Jade Moon Sect?"

Di Luoying shook her head, changing the subject.

Dongfang Yingxue nodded lightly upon hearing this.

"Yes. Hmm... Gu Yuan barely meets the qualifications. You've met him, right? What do you think of him?"

Dongfang Yingxue asked with some curiosity.

"Hmm... I think he's great—*cough*, no..." Di Luoying slightly pursed her lips and spoke with an unchanged expression:

"I think he's... well, quite good. We can observe his performance again during the Qiong Yue Grand Assembly."

Hearing Luoying say this, Dongfang Yingxue couldn't help but smile.

It seems that guy is indeed capable.

For Dongfang Yingxue, hearing someone praise Gu Yuan always made her feel delighted.

And if that person happened to be the contemporary Sword Immortal, her mood would be even better.

"Hmm... he still needs more tempering. Luoying, don't praise him too much."

Seeing Yingxue's cheerful expression, Di Luoying also smiled faintly.

It seems Yingxue truly values Gu Yuan.

It's just... hmm... if Yingxue later finds out that the person I was referring to is Gu Yuan, I wonder what kind of expression she'll have.

Wait!

If that happens, wouldn't my Seniority be lower than hers in front of Yingxue?

Di Luoying froze slightly at this thought.

Why did he have to be Yingxue's Disciple?

Di Luoying thought with some distress.

Dongfang Yingxue, standing nearby, had no idea what she was thinking right now.

Feeling cheerful, she couldn't help but grab Di Luoying's hand and say:

"We haven't seen each other in a long time. We must have a good chat this time."

Di Luoying nodded upon hearing this, putting away the strange feeling in her heart.

I'll properly deal with Gu Yuan tonight. It's all his fault for making me feel so awkward now... "This should be the place, right? It looks like this is where the Jade Moon Sect receives external guests."

That night, Gu Yuan arrived alone at the Secluded Bamboo Forest Residence of the Jade Moon Sect.

The Secluded Bamboo Forest Residence is a place specifically used by the Jade Moon Sect to host Honored Guests.

When the Qiong Yue Grand Assembly is held later, the Elders and Disciples of the various Sects will all rest here.

Gu Yuan glanced around, found no one else, and finally let out a sigh of relief.

*Cough*... wait, why does this feel so sneaky?

No, if I feel this sneaky, it'll seem like I'm here to do something improper.

Thinking this, Gu Yuan immediately raised his head, puffed out his chest, and adopted a calm and composed demeanor.

As an area for receiving external guests, there were no Disciples guarding it when there were no guests.

Although a guest moved in today, that was the contemporary Sword Immortal, and there was no need for Disciples to guard the area.

Of course, no one would have imagined that someone would be so audacious as to run over to find that Sword Immortal at night.

Before entering the Secluded Bamboo Forest Residence, Gu Yuan opened the System to confirm something.

Seeing that Di Luoying genuinely hadn't recognized him, he finally breathed a complete sigh of relief.

Although he didn't know if this counted as exploiting a bug, for him, it was a blessing in disguise.

Gu Yuan shook his head, then silently walked into the Secluded Bamboo Forest Residence... "Uh... Luoying, I'm here... *cough*... what... what are you doing?"

Gu Yuan entered Di Luoying's room and saw her gently caressing the Long Sword in her hand.

The next moment, upon seeing him arrive, she actually placed the Long Sword directly across his neck.

The suddenness of the event left Gu Yuan utterly bewildered.

What is this about? Attempted murder of her Husband!?

Seeing his state of confusion, Di Luoying frowned slightly in dissatisfaction.

"Have you forgotten all the Sword Arts I taught you?"

Di Luoying withdrew the Long Sword, but her voice revealed a hint of annoyance.

Uh... so that's what this was about.

Gu Yuan pulled her down to sit, feeling both amused and helpless.

"Luoying, you're truly wronging me by saying that. You are the contemporary Sword Immortal now. No matter how much I practice the sword, I couldn't possibly compare to you."

Hearing him say this, Di Luoying lightly huffed, tacitly acknowledging his point.

"Besides, I haven't forgotten everything! I remember all your Sword Arts. Just wait and see my performance at this Qiong Yue Grand Assembly."

Gu Yuan spoke with extreme confidence, as he had truly mastered Luoying's Sword Arts.

After his Physique problem was resolved.

Gu Yuan found that whether it was the Sword Dao or other Great Daos, he could always grasp them very quickly.

This made him once again marvel at the power of the Eternal Chaos Body.

Di Luoying suddenly let out a light laugh after hearing this.

She thought of what Dongfang Yingxue had said earlier in the day.

"Gu Yuan, speaking of which, Yingxue values you highly. I'll also be waiting to see your performance at the Qiong Yue Grand Assembly."

Uh... hearing her mention Revered Master, Gu Yuan's heart skipped a beat.

Could it be... After carefully confirming that Luoying's expression hadn't changed, he finally relaxed.

Good, Luoying probably still doesn't know about the relationship between Revered Master and me.

"Cough, I certainly won't disappoint Revered Master. And Luoying, I won't disappoint you either."

Gu Yuan said, grasping Di Luoying's small hand.

The latter lowered her head to look at the small hand he was holding, then looked up silently at Gu Yuan.

However, Gu Yuan pretended not to understand her gaze and continued holding her hand nonchalantly.

"Let... let go!"

Di Luoying said softly.

This contemporary Sword Immortal, renowned across the continent, was currently showing a hint of shyness.

And for some reason, the Long Sword that had been in her hand was now floating beside Gu Yuan.

It then nudged Gu Yuan, displaying a very intimate appearance.

Gu Yuan was stunned for a moment when he saw this, and looking at Di Luoying's increasingly rosy face, he couldn't help but chuckle.

"Luoying, I remember you told me that Sword Cultivators take the sword as their companion, so their swords will never deceive them, and even..."

Gu Yuan paused as he spoke, then gently stroked Di Luoying's Long Sword.

The Long Sword trembled slightly with excitement after receiving Gu Yuan's touch.

"Even the sword itself represents the state of its owner's mind. So, Luoying, do you really want me to let go? When you clearly like me so much in your heart."

Di Luoying bit her lip lightly, turned her head away from Gu Yuan, and didn't answer his question.

This man, of all things, was so perceptive in this regard... Seeing that she wasn't speaking, Gu Yuan gave a gentle tug, and Di Luoying tumbled into his embrace.

"You... what are you trying to do? I... it's not what you think! I just... Hmph, wait, This Venerable One doesn't need to explain anything to you!"

Di Luoying said in a fluster, but in the end, she didn't manage to say anything, simply sticking to her stubborn denial.

Gu Yuan couldn't help but chuckle upon hearing this.

So, Luoying truly hasn't changed at all.

This High-Attack, Low-Defense demeanor is the cutest, isn't it?

"But I wasn't asking you to explain anything, was I? I was simply... stating a fact, wasn't I?"
