80: Chapter 80 The Sword Fairy's Strength
"Master, just now, Senior Brother drank the spring water here!"
Seemingly fueled by a desire for revenge, Qingluan gave Ye Xuan a dark, mischievous look before speaking to Master Shen Xi in a wronged tone.
The smile on Ye Xuan's face vanished instantly. "Huh? Little Moon, didn't we agree on this earlier?"
"Pretty Boy—no, rebellious disciple!" Master Shen Xi's ethereal, fairy-like face was stained with a hint of crimson, and her stunning body trembled several times.
"Um, Master… this disciple can explain. I really didn't mean to drink your bath…"
"Silence!" Master Shen Xi did not let Ye Xuan continue. With a flick of her hand, she cast a restriction, rendering him unable to speak.
Ye Xuan was still unwilling to give up and struggled to say: "Mashter, this dishciple… rreally didn't mean to…"
"Quiet!"
Hearing this, Master Shen Xi increased the intensity; she had no desire to hear another word from this rebellious disciple, and this time she truly sealed Ye Xuan's mouth shut.
"Mmph… mmph… mmph…" Ye Xuan could only watch with longing eyes as Master Shen Xi carried Little Moon back to the pavilion. With nothing to say and unable to speak, he could only focus on working on the courtyard building.
By the next morning, when he pushed open the gate of the courtyard, Ye Xuan was sporting a pair of panda eyes, gazing resentfully at Qingluan and Master Shen Xi on the small pavilion.
Being unable to speak for an entire night was naturally a form of torture for Ye Xuan, who had been working all night. He tried everything he could think of, but he couldn't dispel the restriction on his body.
Fine, he just had to make do for the night.
"Rebellious disciple, let's see if you dare to drink unknown things indiscriminately in the future." Master Shen Xi looked down at Ye Xuan. Her cold, clear voice actually carried a different emotion—it seemed she was smiling—but at the thought of this rebellious disciple drinking that spring water, she became somewhat unsettled.
Ye Xuan said weakly: "Master, aren't you afraid that this disciple will run down Sword Immortal Peak overnight?"
"Less glib talk. Now, come spar with Little Moon. Let me see how your talent for the sword is."
Master Shen Xi ignored what Ye Xuan said, returning to her usual cold, clear demeanor, and calmly decided on the next course of action.
"Huh? Spar with Little Moon? Master, are you serious? But she doesn't have any cultivation base; what if I accidentally hurt her?"
Ye Xuan felt that Master Shen Xi was joking with him, so he voiced his confusion.
"Heh, you are not allowed to use your own cultivation base." Master Shen Xi didn't give Ye Xuan any chance; she pointed a finger and sealed all of his cultivation, making him no different from an ordinary mortal at this moment.
"Come on, Little Moon. Let Senior Brother see your true cultivation."
Ye Xuan was completely unaware of the severity of the situation. Although his cultivation was temporarily sealed, dressed in white and holding a wooden sword, he still possessed a unique flair, as dazzling as an immortal in the mortal world.
Standing opposite him was the expressionless Little Moon, who was looking at Ye Xuan very seriously with her clear eyes. "Senior Brother, please be careful!"
"Huh?"
Ye Xuan was dismissive and did not make any move to attack. He wanted to see just how powerful his Junior Sister really was.
Even without cultivation right now, just relying on the realm of his physical body, surely it wasn't something an ordinary mortal could compare to, right?
"Little Moon, give your Senior Brother a lesson. Let him see what you're capable of." Master Shen Xi's voice remained cold and clear, making it impossible to discern her true emotions.
Upon hearing this, Qingluan did not say anything more. Instead, she raised the wooden sword in her hand, and her aura changed drastically, becoming completely different from the girl-next-door appearance she had before.
A sharp, murderous sword momentum began to slowly emanate from around Qingluan.
"With such talent, it's no wonder she could be called the Sword Fairy in the future." It was only at this moment that Ye Xuan understood the talent for the sword mentioned in his life's destiny; so, this was what it was like.
A deep sense of threat was slowly radiating from the little one in front of him.
"Master, can I regret this now?"
Ye Xuan was a bit hesitant and cast a pleading look at Master Shen Xi, who was standing to the side.
"Of course not. This is also part of testing your strength. Rebellious disciple, you don't actually think your level of swordsmanship can compare to your Junior Sister's, do you?" The fluctuations in Master Shen Xi's voice changed; it was a hint of joy: "Little Moon, use more force, and remember to hit him in the face!"
"Don't, Little Moon. Those ten candied haws, don't you want to eat them anymore?"
Ye Xuan struggled to resist Little Moon's storm-like attacks with the wooden sword in his hand, while trying to entice her, hoping she would hold back. Who knew that after hearing this, Qingluan's clear eyes would become even brighter.
Little Moon looked plain and unremarkable, but when it came to actually fighting, she was anything but hesitant.
With the reinforcement of her sword momentum, every strike of her swordsmanship did not lose out to the power of a normal Spirit Profound Realm attack.
The power of the Supreme Sword Immortal Body erupted completely at this moment.
Ye Xuan was resisting with great difficulty, and bloody marks left by the sword momentum began to appear on his body, but wanting to make him retreat was impossible.
It just so happened that he didn't have a suitable opponent to properly and formally train his Sword Intent.
As for swordsmanship, Ye Xuan only knew simple, basic sword techniques. Let alone any profound skills, he couldn't even necessarily execute the profound skills attached to the first level of the Evil God Art.
In the one-sided spar, Ye Xuan went from being suppressed from the start to now, until a sliver of clarity appeared deep in his mind, and his swordsmanship went from nothing to something, absorbing the moves of Little Moon before him bit by bit.
"Starting to become flexible; that's more like it. Pretty Boy, if you lose to Little Moon today, you'll have to call her Senior Sister from now on."
Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan immediately became more focused. Facing the attacking Little Moon, his eyes were filled with clarity. "No way! I want to be the Senior Brother!"
"With such talent, I really have picked up a treasure." Master Shen Xi could naturally see that Ye Xuan had mastered simple Sword Intent, but his sword techniques were chaotic and disorganized, almost the same as a beginner.
In just this short while, his swordsmanship had changed, becoming completely different from before.
Time flew by, and an hour passed quickly. The spar between Ye Xuan and Qingluan turned from one-sided into an evenly matched contest.
The clash between Sword Intent and sword momentum stirred up one ripple after another.
Qingluan, holding her sword with both hands, felt very tired and did not launch any more attacks. Beads of sweat appeared on her fair, tender forehead, and her stamina was gradually failing; her feet were a bit unsteady. "Detestable Senior Brother, actually stealing my sword techniques!"
Towards the end, even the timing of their sword strikes was almost identical. Qingluan just felt that he was very difficult to deal with.
"From now on, you'd better be obedient and call me Senior Brother."
Ye Xuan's face was half-swollen, but he was still stubborn: "Little Moon, that can't be helped. Even though your Senior Brother has no cultivation base, my physical constitution is still here."
The Zixiao Divine Thunder Body is a divine body that possesses part of the authority to control heavenly thunder.
Not to mention the Chaos Divine Fire Body, which is also extremely monstrous when it comes to recovery abilities.
"Hmph, today I will definitely beat Senior Brother's face until it's completely swollen!" Qingluan angrily raised her wooden sword, about to launch another attack.
"Alright, Little Moon, stop. It seems you won't be able to teach your Senior Brother a lesson today." Master Shen Xi's cold, clear voice came through.
