118: Chapter 118: The Hidden Official with Pigtails!

After Dong Sangeng left, only Great Sword Immortal Chen Xi, Sword Immortal Lu Zhi, and the Hidden Official remained.

Great Sword Immortal Chen Xi hesitated for a moment but still chuckled softly, "Yang Simu, although we cannot become master and Disciple now..."

"...if you have any confusion on the path of the sword, you can come to the wall to find me."

Hearing this, Yang Simu hurriedly expressed his sincere gratitude, "I thank Senior in advance."

Great Sword Immortal Chen Xi gave a faint smile and also flew away.

Sword Immortal Lu Zhi looked at Yang Simu, her willow-like brows furrowing slightly as she asked, "Did that A Liang take you as his Disciple?"

Yang Simu gave a bitter smile and said, "Perhaps Senior A Liang didn't think much of my talent in the path of the sword, so he didn't directly take me as a Disciple."

Sword Immortal Lu Zhi pondered for a moment and then said, "I knew it. How could someone like A Liang take a Disciple?"

"If he did it on a whim, teaching you a few sword techniques would be possible."

Hearing the last sentence, Yang Simu was truly a bit surprised.

Because back then, A Liang had been punched back to the Haoran World from the Qingming World by the Dao Second, Yu Dou!

On the way, A Liang had come to the Floating Mountain that Yang Simu was on.

At that time, seeing that Yang Simu was already carrying a sword, A Liang used his heart-voice to ask how many characters were in his Natal Flying Sword's name, what Divine Abilities it possessed, and so on.

A Liang had drunk wine while sighing, "What a pity, what a pity. It's not a Natal Flying Sword with a true name of only one character."

Hearing this, Yang Simu could only smile bitterly at the time.

One must know that the single-character Flying Swords A Liang mentioned were extremely rare in the entire history of Sword Cultivators.

Even at the Great Wall of Sword Qi, known for having Sword Cultivators as numerous as clouds, only fourteen such Natal Flying Swords had been recorded in the archives of the Summer Palace over the past ten thousand years!

In fact, even for many Great Sword Immortals who reached the pinnacle of the path of the sword, the names of their Natal Flying Swords were not necessarily single characters.

Moreover, a Natal Flying Sword with many characters in its true name didn't necessarily mean its quality was low.

Could it be that just because A Liang's Natal Flying Sword was named 'Drinking Wine', you would say his attainments in the Sword Dao were poor?

If the great demons of the Wilderness World who were hunted by A Liang heard this, wouldn't they be fuming with rage?

Even the Grand Sword Immortal on the wall of the Great Wall of Sword Qi once had a Natal Flying Sword named 'Floating Weed' that was completely shattered beneath Tuoyue Mountain by a great demon of Tuoyue Mountain; only then did he choose to merge his Dao with the entire Great Wall of Sword Qi.

Would you also say that Grand Sword Immortal Chen Qingdu's height in the Sword Dao was ordinary?

Of course, as long as a Natal Flying Sword's true name was a single character, its quality would definitely be extremely high!

The height of such a Sword Cultivator's Sword Dao would also inevitably be terrifying!

If such a Sword Cultivator appeared at the Great Wall of Sword Qi, they would certainly be a must-kill target for the Wilderness World!

So, besides reminding Yang Simu that if he encountered trouble in the Wilderness World in the future, he could look for Liu Cha to strike with his sword once...

A Liang had also taught Yang Simu several high-level sword techniques.

However, at that time, Yang Simu was only in the Lower Five Realms and hadn't fully grasped them.

Just now, when he entered the Grotto-Heaven Realm, he immediately felt that ripple of Sword Intent in his heart, and at a glance, he knew it was A Liang's handiwork!

Therefore, Yang Simu looked at the female sword immortal before him—Sword Immortal Lu Zhi—and couldn't help but flatter her:

"Senior is indeed the Great Sword Immortal A Liang often talks about; you even managed to guess this!"

Sword Immortal Lu Zhi glanced indifferently at Yang Simu, not paying much attention to the matter.

Immediately after, she spoke words similar to Great Sword Immortal Chen Xi's before departing.

Finally, only the eccentric Hidden Official remained!

The little girl with pigtails raised her hand and touched her rosy cheeks, asking with some confusion:

"Yang Simu, logically speaking, this is our first time meeting."

"But why was there a look of fear in your eyes when you looked at me just now?"

"Yet you showed no fear toward Great Sword Immortal Chen Xi, Sword Immortal Lu Zhi, or even Great Sword Immortal Qi Tingji, who left first with a bit of resentment toward you?"

Hearing this, cold sweat instantly broke out on Yang Simu's forehead, and a chill ran down his spine.

The reason Yang Simu didn't fear Great Sword Immortal Qi Tingji, Great Sword Immortal Chen Xi, and Sword Immortal Lu Zhi was that he knew these three Great Sword Immortals would definitely not take the initiative to attack him.

However, the Hidden Official of the Summer Palace before him had an extremely unpredictable temperament!

If she really attacked him in secret, Yang Simu wasn't sure if he could leave the Great Wall of Sword Qi alive.

Yang Simu took a deep breath and smiled bitterly. "The Hidden Official must be joking."

"This Junior has heard much of the Hidden Official's illustrious reputation since arriving at the Great Wall of Sword Qi. Being able to see you in person now, I am naturally both excited and uneasy."

Hearing this, the little girl with pigtails only narrowed her eyes slightly, her smile extremely brilliant.

Suddenly, she hopped onto the city wall, holding her two pigtails with both hands, and walked forward unsteadily.

The Hidden Official's somewhat regretful voice drifted over:

"Yang Simu, it's truly a pity that you can't become my Disciple!"

At some point, Pang Yuanji had approached nearby and bowed respectfully toward the departing back of the Hidden Official, who was like a half-mentor to him.

Pang Yuanji turned his head to look at Yang Simu, his brows furrowed tightly.

"Yang Simu, you've given up the status of being the Hidden Official's Disciple; you will definitely regret it in the future!"

Hearing this, Yang Simu's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he chuckled.

"As for the future, we'll talk about it then!"

In fact, Yang Simu was quite curious to know how Pang Yuanji would react in the future when he learned that the Hidden Official had betrayed the Great Wall of Sword Qi.

Of course, Yang Simu absolutely did not want things to reach that point!

Now, he had entered the Middle Five Realms, and Xiao Bai was also about to enter the Upper Five Realms!

At that time, Yang Simu could sneak into the Wilderness World to complete the third deal with Old Man Yang from the backyard of the Yang Family Pharmacy.

However, thinking of this gave Yang Simu a massive headache.

Because that was truly not something one person could accomplish!

Fortunately, he had Wang Zhu, who was at the Immortal Realm, by his side, and soon he would have the Golden Armored Deity and Xiao Bai, two at the Jade Purity Realm!

Along with the three Nascent Soul Stages—Xiao Bai, Tan Xue, and Chu Ce—as long as they kept a low profile in the Wilderness World, they shouldn't be easily tracked by the great demons of Tuoyue Mountain.

At worst, they could just run straight back to the Great Wall of Sword Qi!

Just then, Gao Yehou also walked over, carefully sizing up the youth in green carrying two swords.

To be honest, it wasn't that there were no Sword Cultivators from the Haoran World who could gain the favor of the ancient Sword Intent on the Great Wall of Sword Qi.

But to cause such a commotion and draw out five Great Sword Immortals at once—this was a first!

Even now, whenever Gao Yehou recalled the scene from just now, he still felt a lingering sense of trepidation!

Fortunately, his Sword Dao was pure and his sword heart was extremely resilient, so he felt relatively better.

For someone like Qi Shou whose sword heart was damaged, it would probably take a month or two to recover!

Gao Yehou smiled politely. "Yang Simu, I heard that on the southern battlefield, you once imprisoned the Natal Flying Sword of a Nascent Soul Stage Yao Race Sword Cultivator?"

"Since you have now entered the Grotto-Heaven Realm, I will also suppress my realm to the Grotto-Heaven Realm."

"How about we have a Sword Inquiry?"

"The revision was a bit late; this chapter counts as yesterday's."
