Supreme Emperor of Mist

Chapter 99: Moment of Peace , Moment of Bliss

"Lu Yi's sword technique is totally my style!" Qin Fan's eye sparkle as he was awed by the overbearingness carried behind Lu Yi's attack. It was an attack capable of sweeping all opponents in a half-moon angle without leaving a gap for others to counterattack.

But there's no such thing as an unbreakable attack in this world.

If there was one, that's just because the technique to break this attack is yet to be found.

"Chimes of a Prayer's Bell." Lu Yi's attack came fiercely at Huo Zunjie, but the latter seems to be indifferent against the attack.

"Why Zunjie still remained motionless before Lu Yi? The sword strike is about to reach him!" Qin Chan, Lu Qing Yun, and Hu Jia felt nervous for Huo Zunjie as if they were sparring against Lu Yi.

Qin Lan quietly smiled as he was able to guess what Huo Zunjie was trying to do. 

Suddenly, Huo Zunjie's gaze becomes sharper as he delivered close to a hundred stabbing blows against Lu Yi's attack.

"Ack!" Lu Yi's sword bounced off slightly as it fought against Huo Zunjie's direct attack. In the end, the attack failed to accurately hit the target because the direction of this attack was somehow diverted to the wrong angle.

"Good work." Qin Lan secretly praised Huo Zunjie for his proficiency in using the Silver Willow Sword Technique.

Against a brunt attack like Lu Yi's, the best way to fight against it is to either dodge or redirect the attack's path slightly. And the Silver Willow Sword Technique, which is inspired by the movement of a willow tree, is the best technique to accomplish this.

Although Huo Zunjie's Silver Ling Sword seems to be flimsy and soft, it doesn't lose when it comes to durability. And when the Offensive Treasure is in Huo Zunjie's hands, it allowed him to efficiently display the advantage of using a flexible sword.

"I fancy this sword technique Huo Zunjie uses!" said Qin Chan. She immediately turned her view to Qin Lan as she knew he was the best person to ask about this.

"Lan-Er... You won't say no to your sister, correct?" Qin Chan rubbed her palm together as she smiles at her lovely third younger brother.

"Of - Of course! I'll have Zunjie teach you the keyword and practice technique later, my second sister." Qin Lan quickly agreed to Qin Chan's request as he knows how annoying she could be when it comes to these things.

It also reminds him of how Qin Chan pestering him for half a day because she wanted to know how the Emerald Transformation Spirit Grass come to his possession.

"Lan-Er, what about your eldest brother?" Qin Fan put his arms around Qin Lan's shoulder as he asked.

"Eldest brother, of course, you can get Lu Yi to... Wait..." Qin Lan hesitates in the middle of his reply as he remembered Lu Yi's weakness.

Although Lu Yi is now capable of writing and reading, it needs him a long time to fully understand the essence of this Golden Bell Sect's Sword Technique.

"If he were to teach Qin Fan about the technique's keyword, who knew how long will that take?" Qin Lan hesitates because of this reason.

"I want to learn this sword technique too!" Hu Jia came forward and stated her wish to learn Lu Yi's sword technique as well.

"Then... I'll guide both of you."Qin Lan smiled. It seems that Hu Jia is still her usual self even after marrying Qin Lan.

Qin Lan also did not forget about transferring the knowledge of the Kuangshan Lu Sect's breathing technique to his elder siblings.

This kind of peaceful period continues for another week, where the sales of Essence Transformation Pill are going over the roof again. The four plots outside the spiritual cave are now filled with Emerald Transformation Spiritual Grass due to mature once every two weeks.

As there was more for him to do right now, Qin Lan decided it was time for him to pay a visit to the medicinal manor and the Zhou Treasured Pavilion.

Unknown to what's motivating him, Qin Lan unconsciously headed straight to the Zhou Treasured Pavilion first.

"What's bring you here to our humble treasured pavilion today?" Zhou Mei quickly came down from her room when she noticed Qin Lan's arrival outside the pavilion's entrance.

There's a hint of a blush powder that was applied in a rush on her face. Although that did not affect her overall beauty, it still made a young maiden like her seem embarrassed and panic when seeing him in public.

"I have a business proposal. Are you interested?" Qin Lan brought up what's in his mind straight away. To him, Zhou Mei was someone he can speak directly without the need to coating his words with honey first.

"Humph! You're always here when you try to take advantage of me. Is there a time you came without something bothersome?" Zhou Mei complained. But at the same time, she did not reject Qin Lan's proposal either.

"Miss Zhou Mei, my lady Zhou Mei... You can't speak like that as that would make me seems like a rascal. Furthermore, when did I take advantage of you?" Qin Lan put on an innocent face as he rebukes her words.

"You!" Zhou Mei pouted. The blush on her face grew more when she remembered how Qin Lan placed his hand on her waist during the discussion about the Huang-Grade Treasure dealing back in the Fu-Rong Town last time.

"I warn you first! If you try to do that again on me, I'll cut off the relationship between us!" Zhou Mei turned herself around as she was trying to point her finger at Qin Lan. But sometimes, mishaps always happen unexpectedly.

She slipped.

And from pointing at Qin Lan, it ended up making her hugging him with her face nicely rested on his chest. The sweetness from this sight gathered jealousy instantly from all the people inside the pavilion.

"I want to be hugged by Lady Mei like that too!" they complained.

"What a fair-skinned toyboy she has there! Why is that person wasn't me?" a minority complained.

"I'm so jealous to the point I wanted to kill myself using a block of tofu!" the complaints continued.

But to both of them, it was a moment of a short bliss as Qin Lan's steady heart seems to be beating faster than usual.

"This is not my intention..." both Qin Lan's hands hovered behind her back without touching her. If it wasn't because there are too many people inside the pavilion, Qin Lan would have hugged her long ago.

"I - I know..." Zhou Mei embarrassedly replied. But at the same time, she wished that this moment would last for a second or two longer as she tried to imprint this into her mind.

"Ahem!" suddenly, a cough from a Bone Reconstruction Cultivator came from the top of the pavilion as a warning. It seems to be directed to Qin Lan as the pressure suddenly made Qin Lan became more cautious.

"Shh... That's - That's my father..." Zhou Mei said.
