Land Sword Immortal: Eighty Years as the Guardian of the Sword Pavilion

Chapter 16 – You know nothing about the wealth of the rich woman

Meng Fan glanced at Liu Yanping with a wry smile and said, "Young lady, I assure you I wasn't squatting behind you today."

He was a bit frightened of being wrongfully accused.

After all, in such situations, you simply can't clear your name!

She claims you were peeping at her, but there's no way to refute it.

Because you were indeed looking at her, only you were observing her sword technique.

But how could you possibly explain whether you were watching the sword or the person?

It's unexplainable!

Even though he had demonstrated Liu Yanping's Emerald Sea Tide Rises Sword technique yesterday, she only verbally acknowledged it, not truly convinced.

In her heart, she still believed Meng Fan was spying on her, only she didn't pursue it further.

It must be said, as a young man, you really need to protect yourself.

Because often when a girl accuses you, no one listens to your explanation, you're inherently at a disadvantage.

Liu Yanping looked at Meng Fan and said helplessly, "Don't worry, I'm not here to cause you trouble."

Although she said this, Meng Fan felt she was trouble incarnate.

"That's a relief," Meng Fan said with a smile on his face.

He had no intention of continuing the conversation with Liu Yanping, but she didn't let him off and took the initiative to say, "After listening to your insights on the Emerald Sea Tide Rises Sword yesterday, I had some new realizations when I went back."

"Uh, congratulations," Meng Fan replied noncommittally.

"Although I don't know why you're familiar with the Emerald Sea Tide Rises Sword, you do have some achievements in this sword technique. How about we spar?"

Meng Fan looked at Liu Yanping in surprise.

He really hadn't expected this young lady to come to him for a sparring session.

Is this the so-called 'no fight, no acquaintance'?

She's actually set her sights on me?

Isn't this a bit unreserved for a young lady?

Meng Fan felt helpless; he really didn't want to be "targeted."

But if a person is too outstanding, even if they try to hide, it's difficult, and they will eventually be discovered.

However, it seems that Liu Yanping has a bit of a martial arts obsession, which is why she's so informal.

Just yesterday she wrongfully accused him of spying on her, and today she wants to spar with him, not feeling embarrassed at all!

"Actually, I'm not interested in the Emerald Sea Tide Rises Sword you mentioned, and I don't plan to practice it..."

Before Meng Fan could finish his refusal, Liu Yanping's domineering voice interrupted him.

"Spar with me for an hour, and I'll pay you one Spirit Stone."

This...

Hearing Liu Yanping's offer, Meng Fan couldn't resist.

He was indeed determined to refuse, but the offer was too generous.

Meng Fan's monthly allowance was only three Spirit Stones.

That was the "distinguished" treatment after becoming a Guarding Sword Disciple of the Sword Pavilion.

When he was a Menial Disciple, he had never even received a whole Spirit Stone!

"Deal," Meng Fan said without hesitation.

A hint of a smile appeared on Liu Yanping's lips.

Think you can refuse me?

With what will you refuse me?

As the favorite granddaughter of Elder Liu of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect's Alchemy Hall, she might not be the strongest Inner Sect Disciple, but she was certainly the wealthiest.

Rich as can be!

Liu Yanping was the most famously affluent young lady in the Inner Sect Disciple circle.

In fact, if Meng Fan had still refused, she would have continued to offer ten Spirit Stones, and if that wasn't enough, twenty...

Until he agreed!

If Meng Fan knew Liu Yanping's thoughts, he would be kicking himself.

Unfortunately, he gave in too easily.

One Spirit Stone, and he surrendered.

"Now that you've agreed, let's start now," Liu Yanping said, frowning slightly as she asked, "Where's your sword?"

Sword? Meng Fan gave a bitter smile. Where would I get a sword from?

Only the top fifty Outer Sect Disciples were eligible to draw a sword from the Sword Pavilion.

He was neither a Menial Disciple nor an Outer Sect Disciple now, but a Guarding Sword Disciple of the Sword Pavilion.

Meng Fan then realized that although he was a Guarding Sword Disciple, equivalent to an Outer Sect Disciple, he had no ranking.

Under these circumstances, was he eligible to draw a sword from the Sword Pavilion?

He would have to ask Senior Disciple Luo when he got back tonight. After all, they were all from the same Sword Pavilion; borrowing a sword for use shouldn't be too much to ask, right?

Meng Fan walked over to a wooden rack and picked up a Wooden Sword.

Liu Yanping shook her head with a resigned look and switched her own sword for a Wooden Sword as well.

Since it was a friendly spar and not a fight to the death, there was no need to take advantage of weaponry.

If it were a real battle, she certainly wouldn't be so hypocritical. Crushing an enemy with the advantage of a superior weapon, watching them die in frustration, was something she found exhilarating.

But this was just a spar, and Meng Fan was not her enemy; it was a completely different matter!

"I really don't understand how a Qi Refining first level kid like you, without even a sword of your own, could master the Emerald Sea Tide Rises Sword to such an extent?" Liu Yanping muttered, finding it incomprehensible.

Meng Fan's mastery of the Emerald Sea Tide Rises Sword Technique the day before didn't seem like something a Qi Refining first level novice could achieve.

"Five minutes have passed, and this is all within the hour," Meng Fan said earnestly to Liu Yanping.

Hearing Meng Fan's words, Liu Yanping couldn't help but laugh.

This guy has no idea about the wealth of a rich woman!

"Junior Brother, not to mention buy you for an hour, even if it's a day, a month, or a year, I can afford it!" Liu Yanping said disdainfully, her eyes unable to hide her arrogance.

Meng Fan frowned, sensing an ominous premonition.

Ever since she started troubling him yesterday, the way she looked at him was off.

Could it be... she wanted to keep him?

It was highly likely!

The body Meng Fan inhabited after time-traveling was extremely handsome.

Meng Fan's cultivation level might be negligible in the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, even considered the bottom rung.

But in terms of appearance, just like his Talent for Sword Dao Transcendence, there was no match throughout the entire Shu Mountain Sword Sect.

So Liu Yanping's earlier words about keeping him had every reason to make Meng Fan suspect that the young lady had taken a fancy to him!

"Young lady, please have some self-respect!" Meng Fan said with a serious face.

Liu Yanping was initially stunned, not understanding the meaning behind Meng Fan's words, and was somewhat puzzled.

A few seconds later, her face flushed red as she grasped the misunderstanding in Meng Fan's words.

She immediately snapped, "Have some self-respect yourself, take this!"

With that, she swung her Wooden Sword at Meng Fan.

Meng Fan shook his head helplessly, why did she get angry out of embarrassment?

He raised his sword to block, deflecting Liu Yanping's Wooden Sword.

Neither Meng Fan nor Liu Yanping used True Qi.

Especially in Liu Yanping's view, Meng Fan was just at the first level of Qi Refining, too far behind her.

If she used True Qi, it would be too much of a bullying, so her spar with Meng Fan was purely about sword techniques.

And in a pure sword technique spar, Meng Fan was naturally unafraid.
