Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In Qingyun Dao Sect.
Su Changyu was confused.
He didn’t expect that Daoist Tai Hua would really sign him up for the Sword Dao Meet.
‘Are you teasing me?’
“Didn’t you say you wanted to participate?”
Daoist Tai Hua was a little confused as he wondered, ‘Didn’t Changyu request this?’
‘What do you mean?’
“When did I say I wanted to participate in the Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet? Master, are you old and muddled up?”
Su Changyu explained.
In the next moment, Daoist Tai Hua understood.
‘Is this guy trying to feign ignorance?’
“Don’t feign ignorance with me, I’ve already registered for you. In short, you have to go even if you don’t want to.”
Daoist Tai Hua was furious.
‘The registration of the Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet cost me 10 taels of gold, which is equivalent to a month’s worth of the sect’s revenue. Yet, you’re telling me now that you don’t want to go?’
‘Don’t you find it funny?’
However, Daoist Tai Hua’s austerity made Su Changyu panic.
“Master, I was just saying that casually. I didn’t think you’d take me seriously.”
“Besides, Master, I’ll just be embarrassing myself by participating in the Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet.”
“To be honest, if Ye Ping didn’t exist, I wouldn’t be scared of anything. But now that Ye Ping has joined our sect, won’t I be embarrassing myself in front of him if I fail?”
Su Changyu persuaded.
He definitely wouldn’t go to the Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet.
In fact, he found it ridiculous.
‘Why did Daoist Tai Hua sign up for me?’
‘You really think I’m a supreme expert?’
Su Changyu was chickening out.
He had no problem bragging to his Junior Brother, and he could even improve his bragging.
However, he knew that he’d only look bad at the Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet.
He wouldn’t go even if he had to die.
However, Daoist Tai Hua shook his head and looked at Su Changyu.
“Changyu, do you really think that I asked you to go to the Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet to test out your swordsmanship techniques?”
Daoist Tai Hua instructed.
After hearing his words, Su Changyu fell silent.
‘What else can it be for?’
‘To show how suave I am?’
“Changyu, are you really stupid or are you pretending to be stupid?”
“I want you to go to the Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet to look out for your little Junior Brother.”
“His Sword Dao is extraordinary and I reckon that he might get into the top ten places. By then, there will be many people who want to befriend him.”
“At that time, you will have to step in to stop them and prevent Ye Ping from being led astray by others, got it?”
Daoist Tai Hua said with some dissatisfaction.
“Oh, I get it.”
Su Changyu finally understood what Daoist Tai Hua had in mind.
“Okay then, if that’s the case, I’ll go.”
Su Changyu immediately nodded.
Since he wasn’t going to display his swordsmanship, that would be fine.
“Go get ready. We still have some time before the Sword Dao Meet. You and Ye Ping will leave together in three days.”
Daoist Tai Hua nodded.
He didn’t expect Su Changyu to play a significant role and just wanted him to watch over Ye Ping.
“We’re leaving in three days? So urgent? Just me and Ye Ping? Master, aren’t you going?”
Su Changyu frowned.
“The Sword Dao Meet is the only hope for the Qingyun Dao Sect to advance to the third-rank sect, so we naturally can’t be late. If you set off earlier, you will arrive sooner and avoid chaos.”
Daoist Tai Hua said seriously.
“Okay! Master, do I get any allowance this time?”
Su Changyu nodded and asked a very important question.
“Of course, do I seem like a miser?”
Daoist Tai Hua said with some dissatisfaction.
Su Changyu stayed silent and did not answer, causing Daoist Tai Hua’s face to grow sullen.
“Okay, considering the fact that this trip concerns Ye Ping, I’ll give you 500 taels of gold.”
Daoist Tai Hua said with some dissatisfaction.
In an instant, Su Changyu froze in shock.
“500 taels? Master, are you out of your mind?”
Su Changyu was astonished.
‘500 taels of gold?’
‘The Qingyun Dao Sect only earns a hundred taels of gold a year, but you’re giving us an allowance of 500 taels for participating in the Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet?’
‘That’s equivalent to five years of the Qingyun Dao Sect’s income.’
‘Are we allowed to spend it lavishly?’
“Dream on, the 500 taels of gold are not for you to squander. They’re for Ye Ping. This time, your wellbeing during this trip doesn’t matter. The point is that you can’t let Ye Ping suffer, got it?”
Daoist Tai Hua said with some dissatisfaction.
However, Su Changyu wasn’t upset at all.
Daoist Tai Hua was just making a casual remark. He’s not going to let Su Changyu starve.
“Okay, make some preparations. You’re going to a faraway place this time. Do your homework well, don’t get lost.”
“By the way, Changyu, I have a question for you.”
Daoist Tai Hua suddenly thought of something and looked at Su Changyu.
“Master, go ahead.”
Su Changyu was a little curious.
“Here’s the thing. Changyu, Ye Ping has joined the sect for almost two months, but I haven’t taught him much yet. This time, I plan to teach him something, but I don’t know how to teach him.”
Daoist Tai Hua said with some embarrassment.
“Master, your divination algorithm won’t be of use to him even if you teach him now. It’s not something that can be taught quickly. Besides, regardless of whether you teach it to him or not, it won’t make a difference. You might as well wait for Ye Ping to come back before teaching him.”
Su Changyu seemed rather nonchalant and casual.
“Who said I’m going to teach Ye Ping the divination algorithm? I mean I want you to teach Ye Ping how to socialize properly.”
Hearing how ashamed Su Changyu was of his divination algorithm, Daoist Tai Hua was naturally displeased.
“Oh, I get it. Master, through this period of interaction with Ye Ping, I roughly know how to teach him. However, he’s rather passive so we must not take the initiative to say anything to him, but ask questions and get him to answer us.”
“No matter what Ye Ping says, we’ll just do the opposite. Don’t agree with what he says. Master, do you understand?”
Su Changyu got into the mood when it came to teaching Ye Ping, which was his forte.
“Oh, I see, that is to say, I’ll ask him a question and then oppose his answer regardless of what it is, right?”
Daoist Tai Hua said seriously.
“Yes.”
Su Changyu immediately nodded.
“Okay, go and make preparations then.”
After understanding how to teach Ye Ping, Daoist Tai Hua waved his hand and signaled for Su Changyu to leave.
Just like that, an hour later, on the rear cliff of Qingyun Dao Sect, Ye Ping was comprehending the Dao.
However, he had now already reached the second level of Qi Refinement. He could sense that someone was coming in an instant.
Soon, Ye Ping was a little surprised.
“Sect Leader?”
Ye Ping snapped out of his enlightenment and opened his eyes. After putting away the Time Array, he looked at Daoist Tai Hua who was not too far away.
