442: Li's Guest
The young woman slowly walked over to Li Yuanfeng, her face slightly red, and whispered to him, "You came back without telling me! And you didn't say anything when there were outsiders here! Are you trying to die?! Tonight, you must practice Sword Technique with me a hundred times!"
"..." Li Yuanfeng's face immediately fell.
His younger sister had a fiery personality, but in front of outsiders, she was "well-educated and reasonable" and a "young lady from a prestigious family."
In Yinjiang City, she was praised as truly being the Li family's young lady.
In reality, she was a fiery, somewhat impulsive, and enthusiastic young woman.
Of course, such a temperament was quite suitable for cultivating the Li family's inherited "Flame Yang Swordplay."
And the Li family didn't really care about so-called "etiquette"; of course, they still had the necessary politeness, they just didn't care much about minor details.
Another point was that the Li family didn't really have any "friends" anyway, so they cared even less about this.
"This is my daughter, Li Yuanfrost," Li Chengshuang introduced the young woman to Jun Li.
"This is the younger sister I told you about on the way, the one who loves the Way of the Sword," Li Yuanfeng said to Jun Li. "This is a distinguished guest of our Li family! And she is a master of the Way of the Sword. She doesn't look much older than you, but she is already in the Embrace the Core Realm!
Xiao Shuang, you really need to work harder; you're still stuck in the late Houtian Realm!"
"I know, I know!" Li Yuanfrost wrinkled her nose. She was only 16 this year.
Li Chengshuang listened to his son's words, knowing that he was subtly reminding him.
This was a distinguished guest! Her Sword Technique realm was very high, and her cultivation was even at the Embrace the Core Realm!
The Embrace the Core Realm, a powerful expert on the same level as Li Chengshuang!
That's right, the Li family patriarch, Li Chengshuang, was an expert in the Embrace the Core Realm; otherwise, the Li family wouldn't be one of the top families in Yinjiang City, having no friends but also not many people daring to provoke them.
It was because of the prestige of the Li family patriarch, Li Chengshuang!
At the late Embrace the Core Realm, he was also a Sword Technique expert who had cultivated the [Flame Yang Swordplay].
Just this alone was enough to show that Li Chengshuang's talent in the Way of the Sword was indeed very high! In this era, to have such achievements, he truly deserved to be the Li family patriarch.
After Li Chengshuang learned that Jun Li was a fellow Sword Technique expert at the Embrace the Core Realm, his eyes lit up!
There were simply too few people who cultivated the Way of the Sword! Even fewer who achieved success!
Li Chengshuang didn't know how long it had been since he last saw a Sword Cultivator of the same level!
If it weren't for Jun Li being a guest brought home by his son, he would already want to discuss the Way of the Sword with Jun Li thoroughly.
"If you don't mind! Why don't you stay at the Li residence for this period? How about we have dinner together tonight?" Li Yuanfeng said to Jun Li.
"That's right, since you're Feng'er's friend, then you're a distinguished guest of the Li family! The Li family may not have much else, but we have plenty of guest rooms!" One could only say he was truly his father; his words were exactly like his son's.
Jun Li found Li Chengshuang's words remarkably familiar.
"Then I shall trouble you!" Jun Li didn't decline and accepted, as she had originally intended to do so.
"No trouble at all! Stay as long as you like! We'll always keep a room for you! Hahaha~ Please don't mind it, the Li family hasn't had any guests in a long time! Such a large house, so many guest rooms have been empty!" Li Chengshuang said with a chuckle, then immediately instructed his servants to prepare a guest room.
And he also instructed everyone below that Jun Li would be a distinguished guest of the Li family from now on, and they should treat her as they would the patriarch!
"Big Sister Jun Li! Can you teach me to practice Sword Technique?" Li Yuanfrost leaned close to Jun Li, her eyes sparkling.
Jun Li looked at the girl and could tell that she truly loved the Way of the Sword.
In this era, such people were already rare.
As the saying goes, the peak gives birth to false supporters, and dusk witnesses loyal believers.
In this era where the Way of the Sword was in decline, even suppressed.
Having such "devout" "believers" was extremely rare and precious.
"Don't be mischievous!" Li Yuanfeng was afraid his younger sister would displease Jun Li, after all, she had just arrived as a guest.
Although Li Yuanfeng knew Jun Li didn't mind and had a very good personality, and had guided him a lot on the way.
But one should be content, and it's a long-term thing; although Li Yuanfeng also wanted to learn together, he had to do what was proper on the surface.
As a true person of the Sword Sect, Jun Li was very happy and willing to guide such a person: "It's fine, it's a good thing that Yuanfrost loves the Way of the Sword so much!"
Jun Li reached out and patted Li Yuanfrost's head: "Don't worry, there's still a long time. I'll be staying here for a while, and I'll teach you Sword Technique in the evening."
Although Jun Li knew that the Li family patriarch, Li Chengshuang's cultivation was higher than hers, in terms of the Way of the Sword, higher cultivation didn't necessarily mean greater skill.
Cultivation was cultivation, and the Sword Technique realm was the Sword Technique realm.
The two only had a certain complementary relationship, primarily in terms of strength and combat power.
But the Sword Technique realm did not entirely rely on cultivation.
This was also why the Way of the Sword demanded so much talent.
It was like car racing, being fast on curves was true speed! Anyone could accelerate on a straightaway!
Cultivating one's cultivation was like this; stepping on the gas, everyone could do it, cultivation! Even if your talent was a bit lacking, you could improve through persistent effort, or at worst, by taking medicine.
But the Sword Technique realm was different; it was like mathematics, if you couldn't learn it, then you really couldn't, no matter what.
"That's great!" Li Yuanfrost's face showed joy when she heard Jun Li's words.
"What are your plans next? Shall I take you around the city?" Li Yuanfeng asked Jun Li.
"It's almost noon, how about we eat lunch first?" Li Chengshuang asked.
"No need, Yuanfeng can just take me around the city. Anyway, it's still early, and it's nice to stroll around. It's almost noon, so we can see if there are any special snacks to try," Jun Li said with a smile.
"I want to go too!" Li Yuanfrost immediately raised her hand and shouted when she heard Jun Li was going out to stroll.
"Then let's go together," Jun Li agreed immediately without waiting for others to speak.
Seeing that Jun Li had said so, they naturally wouldn't stop her.
Moreover, Li Chengshuang also wanted his daughter to get closer to Jun Li and build a good relationship.
Putting everything else aside, just Jun Li's Embrace the Core Realm cultivation was enough to "suck up to."
In this era, the Embrace the Core Realm could already make one a sect master, or at least an elder.
Of course, those large sects probably also had cultivators in the Violet Palace Realm and Heavenly Human Realm.
But they were still relatively rare.
As for higher levels, it had been many years since anyone had seen them.
Li Yuanfeng and his younger sister Li Yuanfrost then took Jun Li out to stroll.
As for Li Chengshuang, as an elder, he naturally wouldn't follow along.
Although he also wanted to get closer to Jun Li, so he could then easily suggest, "If you have nothing to do, how about we discuss the Way of the Sword?"
Unfortunately, as an elder, he still had to maintain some dignity.
He could only watch with a smile as the three left the Li residence.
