505: Two words: shameless!

If Lin Ye really became the Sword Son of the Heavenly Sword Sect, it seemed it would also be of considerable benefit to their Flying Feather Holy Sect!

It was just that when Lin Ye eventually attained the Dao, a portion of his Luck would be shared.

The Flying Feather Holy Sect and the Heavenly Sword Sect both belonged to the Righteous Path anyway.

Furthermore, it wasn't as if Lin Ye was being asked to leave his Sect, so why not? When the time came for Lin Ye to attain the Dao, they would likely need the Heavenly Sword Sect's help anyway!

Just seeing those top-tier Physiques of Lin Ye's made Duanmu Yu's scalp tingle.

He didn't even need to think to know how great the obstacles would be when these Physiques of Lin Ye's were exposed, or when he tried to prove his Dao!

It seemed the Flying Feather Holy Sect alone might not be able to hold up!

If they pulled the Heavenly Sword Sect into this...

"What are you thinking about over there? Your expression is so sleazy?!"

Before Duanmu Yu could finish considering, he heard Wang Jianyi's voice.

He looked up and saw Wang Jianyi staring at him with a look of disdain.

"Ahem, ahem..."

Duanmu Yu gave a fake cough to cover his embarrassment, then straightened his expression and said, "What was it you said earlier? You want to make Lin Ye the Sword Son of your Heavenly Sword Sect?"

"That's right!"

Wang Jianyi nodded. He had already decided this when he first saw that Sword Intent on Lin Ye, and now that he saw Lin Ye held so many secrets, he was even more certain.

And he possessed such great ambition as to replace the Heavenly Dao.

Of course he had to make him the Sword Son!

When the time came, letting Lin Ye stay in their Heavenly Sword Sect to catch a glimpse of the end of the sword path would not be a waste of his entire life spent cultivating the sword.

The Ancestors of the Heavenly Sword Sect all nodded in agreement; unless they were idiots, they would definitely keep such a peerless Prodigy.

Liu Qingxian walked slowly to stand in front of Lin Ye.

"This matter was my fault, almost causing you to encounter danger."

Although that world-toppling face remained as cold as ever, her tone clearly carried a hint of apology.

After all, she was the one who had sent Lin Ye into the Trial Grounds. If something had truly happened to Lin Ye while Undergoing Tribulation, she would have effectively stifled the hope of the sword path. Forget the Heavenly Sword Sect; she would have been a sinner to all Sword Cultivators under the heavens.

Even as a Great Emperor, she would not be able to give an explanation to all the Sword Cultivators in the world.

Lin Ye now carried the Chongxiao Sword Intent and the Scourge and Pacify Sword Art; he was only one sword art, the Lingtian Sword Art, away from collecting all Four Great Sword Arts.

Therefore, he was now the hope of all Sword Cultivators.

Hearing Liu Qingxian's apology, Lin Ye shook his head and said softly, "Senior, there is no need to blame yourself. Breaking through there was my choice, and what's more, I have already comprehended the Chongxiao Sword Intent now!"

"Just as you said before, this really was the fastest method."

"..."

Liu Qingxian was speechless. Although she had said it was the fastest method, that only applied to the comprehension speed. As for deducing the Chongxiao Sword Art to completion, who knew how long that would take?

But the aura currently on Lin Ye was that of the complete Chongxiao Sword Art.

Even Liu Qingxian, who had been invincible for a lifetime with a three-foot sword, felt a bit discouraged at this moment. She felt as if all her years had been lived in vain.

The Chongxiao Sword Art that she had spent so many years comprehending, Lin Ye had actually achieved an Epiphany for in one go.

How could she compare to that?

What was even more terrifying was that the sword path was merely one of Lin Ye's many methods, and not even his most brilliant one!

He could just practice casually and leave countless Sword Cultivators in the dust. This was no longer just talent; it was like a dream.

Wang Jianyi and Duanmu Yu both widened their eyes, watching the conversation between Liu Qingxian and Lin Ye.

A moment later, Duanmu Yu turned his head to look at Wang Jianyi, gritting his teeth as he said, "Very well, you really were prepared from the start! Is this something a Sword Cultivator should do? Don't you Sword Cultivators always pride yourselves on being upright and unyielding?"

"And now? You, a thick-browed, big-eyed Sword Cultivator, are actually playing tricks, and you're even hitting our Divine Son where it hurts! Simply despicable!"

"Heh..."

If this were in the past, after being "face-to-face attacked" like this by Duanmu Yu, Wang Jianyi would have likely drawn his sword long ago.

But now, Duanmu Yu's angry rebuke actually made him feel very smug, and his face even carried a look of pride.

"Duanmu Yu, I have you to thank for being able to achieve this step!"

"Hm?"

Duanmu Yu looked puzzled, not knowing what Wang Jianyi meant by that.

Wang Jianyi didn't play riddles and directly explained, "After Lin Ye chose your Flying Feather Holy Sect, I returned to the Sect and went into seclusion. The seclusion wasn't to cultivate the sword, but to consider one thing."

"That was to ponder why others could never take advantage of you, Duanmu Yu, and were even constantly robbed by you."

"I had people send over all the intelligence on you from these past years, and I summarized it in a few words: you are sufficiently shameless!"

"Bullshit!"

Duanmu Yu retorted, his face turning red and his neck thick, "I am clearly the embodiment of truth, goodness, and beauty, when have I ever been shameless? That is just the prejudice of worldly people against me!"

"No!"

Wang Jianyi said with a serious face, "After I read your files, I started to reflect on why I couldn't get Lin Ye to come to the Heavenly Sword Sect, and why you were able to repeatedly take advantage and make the Flying Feather Holy Sect grow stronger and stronger."

"So I started to learn! I learned intensely! Finally, I learned it! It's true that a Sword Cultivator should be upright and unyielding! But I use a soft sword, so what's the problem with it being able to turn?"

"..."

Duanmu Yu looked at Wang Jianyi in disbelief.

Good heavens, he never expected that this thick-browed, big-eyed guy would change so thoroughly.

It seemed the rumors that Wang Jianyi had dug up an Old Ancestor in the middle of the night and was beaten into serious injury were true.

He clearly knew Lin Ye's weakness was women, and specifically women who had gone through the baptism of time.

Liu Qingxian...

As a Great Emperor who shared the same reputation as Dong Mengyu, Duanmu Yu naturally knew of her.

Seeing her today, she was indeed of immortal beauty; wasn't this hitting the Divine Son's weakness exactly?

Duanmu Yu then thought of his own unreliable Old Ancestor.

He thought to himself that after he went back, he must tell Dong Mengyu about this. If she continued to be unreliable, she might get her home raided.

But the urgent matter to resolve was the business with the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Thinking of this, Duanmu Yu spoke with a solemn expression, "Fine, since you admit you learned it from me, then give me the apprenticeship fee."

After saying that, Duanmu Yu stretched out his hand directly, demanding the tuition fee from Wang Jianyi.

"Apprenticeship fee? Heh..."

Wang Jianyi mocked, "This thing belongs to whoever learns it; pay you an apprenticeship fee? Keep dreaming. I suffered countless hardships to trick—ahem—to bring Lin Ye over. Now that things have finally turned around, you want to rob me? Keep dreaming."

Duanmu Yu couldn't help but sigh, "Sure enough, you've changed quite thoroughly. My Dao is not lonely; on this path, only you can walk with me!"

"Stop talking nonsense! Tell me, do you agree to let Lin Ye join our Heavenly Sword Sect or not?"
