The sound of the flowing stream hitting the pebbles rang out. On the clear grass, Jing Yu moved three relatively large stones.
It was already the ninth month of the lunar calendar. This place was considered to be in the north, and the weather had already turned cold. The Warring States Period wasn't like the greenhouse effect caused by pollution in the future. If it was cold, it was really cold. Thus, Jing Yu had placed the stone over a fire to heat it up a little…while the snow maidens and Qing 'er were cleaning up the wild chickens he had hunted.
Not long after, a small bonfire was lit on the empty grassland, and Jing Yu and the other two sat around it. His thoughtfulness undoubtedly moved the two girls. They each held a branch with a pheasant in it and barbecued it over the bonfire.
It had been ten days since Jing Yu had brought the snow maidens to meet Qing 'er. At least the snow maidens had learned how to roast pheasants in the wild like this…This was something that she had never experienced before, and it was quite novel to her.
Two pheasants were enough for three people to eat. Jing Yu had nothing to do, so he took out a dagger and carved on a pebble. This dagger was not sharp, and it did not have the support of his sword qi or strength. It was completely supported by the internal strength he had cultivated. He wanted to use this method to get used to using internal strength.
It could be said that up until now, Jing Yu had not used his internal strength and had relied on his physical strength and agility to fight. He was slightly stronger. However, based on his own judgment, he could not reach the level of a first-rate expert with just his body. With his ability to listen to the voices of all living things and his past battle experience, he would not be at a disadvantage against a first-rate expert…However, this was not what he wanted.
How could he be satisfied just by not losing out? He still wanted to become the strongest in this world.
Thus, he could only rely on this internal strength. Ever since he started cultivating, he had never slacked off. He believed that with his aptitude, in a few years, he would be able to become a first-rate expert in the realm of internal energy.
"Young Master, is it really okay for us to be leisurely outside?”
This voice that suddenly sounded out made Jing Yu distracted, and he slashed a little harder. The beautiful face on the surface of the cobblestone had an additional scar. Jing Yu felt pity in his heart. He put it down and looked at Qinger…her cute little face seemed to have obvious worry.
It had been almost a month since he left home, but not only had he not sent any news back, but he had also chosen a small path more than ten days after they met again. In this way, it would be difficult for outsiders to find them, and they would also be unable to obtain information from the outside world. Especially after Jing Yu caused such a ruckus in Yan City, the three of them had no idea what the outside world's reaction was like…Qinger could not relax at all.
"Sister Qinger, I'm afraid the young master has already made arrangements.”" It's good that there's no news," the snow maidens interjected." If there's any news, it'll be quite troublesome.”
"Eh?" Qinger was stunned." Young Master, is that so?”
Jing Yu smiled and picked up another pebble from his feet." Xue 'er is right. I had already predicted the general development of the matter and made arrangements to deal with it. If there are no variables, everything is under control…Are you relieved now?”
According to the time, King Chu should have already met the envoy of Qin and was so angry that he could vomit blood, right?
"Yes." Qinger nodded heavily and even patted her chest exaggeratedly." As long as Young Master thinks it's good, Qinger will think it's good.”
"Hehe, Sister Qinger is indeed Young Master's considerate little cotton-padded jacket.”The snow maidens teased her.
" Aiya, it's not like that…" Qinger wanted to deny it, but when she saw Jing Yu looking over, she hurriedly lowered her head. The light from the fire shone on her face, giving her a lovely orange color.
Jing Yu glanced at the snow maidens again, and she covered her mouth with a smile.
"Don't bully her too much!" Jing Yu mouthed to her.
The snow maiden wrinkled her nose at him." I know, you little boy who's biased towards his mother.”
"Mom…"
A vein popped up on Jing Yu's forehead. Suddenly, he raised his eyebrows and stood up, looking toward the northwest. The snow maiden realized that something was wrong. She remembered that he could sense the situation around him.
"What's wrong?" She asked. This also attracted Qinger's attention. The two of them stood up.
"There's a fight over there." Jing Yu frowned slightly and said," I want to take a look.”
He felt that it was a little strange. The two people who were fighting seemed to have internal strength circulating in their bodies, but it was also somewhat different. Moreover, their moves were also very strange…Carrying the black sword on his back, Jing Yu said to the two women,"
"Wait for me here. I'll be back soon.”
"Be careful." Knowing that he had already made up his mind, the snow maidens instructed.
" Young Master, I…" Qing 'er pursed her lips. She wanted to follow him, but she was afraid that she was not strong enough to distract him.
Jing Yu pulled her hand." I'm not going to fight. If I insist on telling you, it'll be like peeking. It's shameful."”He winked at her." Qinger, are you going to peek with me too?”
"I didn't want to do that." Qinger was so angry that she stomped her foot and turned around.
Jing Yu smiled and shot the snow maidens a look. He then transformed into a black shadow and flew off into the distance. If his internal strength was higher, he would have used his qinggong…He would still be running forward.
Just as Qinger had thought, the places Jing Yu had chosen to travel to recently were all small roads or places where few people went. It was the same here. The stream flowed out from a valley. There was a forest beside the empty grassland where Jing Yu and the other two were. Jing Yu felt that the fight was there. He rushed into the forest in one breath and could already see purple light flashing. After eliminating his aura, he jumped onto a tree that was closer to the clearing where the battle was taking place.
The two of them did not get close to each other in the intense battle. Instead, they were about ten meters away from each other. One was standing on the top of the tree, while the other was on the ground below the tree…This was the place where Jing Yu had found it strange.
"So it's the Yin-Yang School." He only needed to look at the girl who was standing in the air to judge." I didn't expect to meet her.”The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, clearly harboring ill intentions.
The girl standing on the treetop was about 12 or 13 years old. She was dressed in an ancient version of a gothic loli that Jing Yu had described as a gothic loli. She was wearing purple boots, dark gray stockings with black patterns, and a copper bell was tied above her left knee. The high-waisted doll dress was white, and the outside was covered by the ancient costume she was wearing. At his waist was a wide boxing belt. Her straight, purplish-blue hair was in a princess hairstyle, and her oval face was covered with a thin white veil.
His right arm was sleeveless, and there was a pink flower on the wrist guard. Behind him was a screen with a golden frame and a black pattern. There was a moon and a sun hanging from the left and right corners.
She flipped her fingers and spread out her power, controlling the green leaves to shoot diagonally downward. They were as sharp as flying knives. Flying leaves and picking flowers could hurt people, and this required the support of deep internal strength. This girl was so young, yet she was able to do it to such an extent. It could be seen that she definitely had good talent. However, Jing Yu could still tell that the offensive power of these leaves was limited.
The person on the ground was about 30 years old and must have been seriously injured. His dark blue Daoist robe was torn in several places, and there were bloodstains on it. Her tiara had been knocked off, and her disheveled appearance was a little scary. Furthermore, when he used his martial arts, he blew his hair away with his Qi. One could see that his face was as pale as a corpse…He really looked a little pathetic. However, the translucent purple blades of light that appeared in his hands from time to time were still extraordinary.
"This is the first time I've seen a blade formed from qi.”Jing Yu did not know who this person was, but he was somewhat surprised by his moves." There are also places in this world that cannot be underestimated.”
The girl on the treetop continued to attack. The person on the ground under the tree could not counterattack effectively and could only passively block. However, what he needed the most now was to recuperate. After half an hour, he finally couldn't hold on any longer.
" Cough cough…" The person on the ground spat out a mouthful of blood. He lost his balance and fell to the ground.
The girl on the treetop stopped her attack, took a step forward, and gently landed on the ground.
Jing Yu shook his head and thought, Shaosi Ming is still too inexperienced at this stage.”
Sure enough, a thin purple light pillar suddenly shot out from the hand of the person on the ground, shooting straight at the defenseless girl. At this moment, a black sword pierced through the air and blocked the tip of the purple pillar of light.
The girl seemed to have only reacted at this moment. She hurriedly lowered her body and jumped back a few steps. Only then did she calm down and look at the sword that had blocked the fatal blow for her and the person holding the sword.
Jing Yu was also looking at her. Or rather, he wanted to see if there were any drastic changes in her expression. The result disappointed him. The girl seemed to only have a hint of surprise in her eyes.
"Black Sword?" A trace of pity and resentment flashed across the face of the person lying on the ground. When he turned around, his expression had already returned to normal. He lay on the ground and looked at Jing Yu and his sword." Could it be…the Xiang clan's young master?”He pressed a hand on his chest and panted.
"Oh?" Jing Yu retracted his gaze from the girl and looked at him." I didn't expect that I could be so famous.”
" Hehehe…" That person laughed." I am the Left Guardian of the Yin-Yang School. I am heading to Chu to meet King Chu and have something important to tell him. How about Young Master help me deal with this enemy?”
He didn't even mention that Jing Yu had ruined his plan to kill the enemy. His words caused the girl who was looking at Jing Yu in confusion to become wary of him…She had once again let down her guard because Jing Yu had saved her life.
"Oh?" Jing Yu's lips curled up." What do you want to tell Lord Chu?”
"This matter is very important. I can't say it easily.”The man frowned slightly." Young Master, you should finish off this enemy first. When we reach the Chu royal palace, I will tell you."”
"Could it be that…Ying Zheng has already made up his mind to attack Chu?”Jing Yu suddenly probed.
The man's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he laughed again.
"As expected of the young master of the Xiang clan.”That person nodded." Young Master and I can be friends…That girl has already called for reinforcements. Young Master can't be delayed.”
"If that's the case, there's no need for me to intervene.”Jing Yu was about to put away his sword." Compared to you, I want to be friends with the girl behind me more…Are you willing?”He was actually just like that, standing five steps away from the person lying on the ground with his back facing him.
One could see that the girl's expression finally showed a large fluctuation…Her pair of purple eyes widened, clearly filled with the word " careful ".
