Chapter 116: An Idle Conversation



Chapter 116: An Idle Conversation

"Congratulation for completing the Sword Ascension trial!" 

Some Outer Court's Elders of Heaven Sword Sect who were in charge of the examination, were waiting for her on the summit of Sword Ascension trial.

They treated Snowy in an extremely polite manner, afraid to offend such a prodigy.

Although some of them were having a quite decent position in Heaven Sword Sect, they were well aware that before the girl in front of them, their position wasn't worth mentioning.

An 18 years old youngster who already reached the level of Sword Grandmaster, even the most stupid person could imagine the bright future she had ahead.

She was even more than their current legacy disciple, Zi Ling.

If they could get on her good side early, their future in the sect would be guaranteed.

"Congratulation on completing the sword ascending trial! You've done well!"

"Thank you."

Snowy gave a polite nod as she saw Elder Lan was slowly approaching. Since Feng Xue seemed to have a good relationship with her, she had a good impression of this mischievous elder.

"How does it feel to break the record as the first person who completes the Sword Ascension Trial in one go and also become the youngest Sword Grandmaster in history?" Elder Lan asked in a playful voice while a big grin was plastered on her face. 

"It's okay, I guess," answered Snowy calmly, without any ripple in her expression.

"Quite an attitude, huh? No wonder that cheeky brat took an interest in you." 

"With your results in the second round, you've proved that you have the qualification to skip the third round and advance to the fourth round immediately. What do you think?"

"There's no need, I'll do it like everyone else."

"Well, if that's what you wanted."

Snowy's expressionless face and casual tone making her looked like a speaking doll which was instilling an urge in Elder Lan's heart to poke at her cheek which was exactly what she did.

Poke. Poke.

'Hmm, it's very soft.'

"Stop it," a frown appeared on Snowy's forehead as she swatted Elder Lan's finger much to her annoyance.

"That's better! Now you start to look like a human!" A peal of laughter came out from Elder Lan's delicate lips, "You can rest for a while, we still have around an hour before the second-round end."

"Snowy!"

"Look, my adorable martial nephew can't wait to see you."

"Greeting to Martial Aunt!"

"Wow, what a lineup! She is actually a VIP, huh?"

"Don't you dare to bully her, Martial Aunt! If not, I am not to blame if my master knows who was the one who stole his Fragrant Spirit Wine"

"You dare?! Heh, a brat who still wet her bed when she was 10 years old is now already spreading her wing and talking back to me?"

"Martial Aunt!!"

"Hehe, I still need to handle the examination. Good bye~"

Feng Xue stomped her feet while looking at Elder Lan angrily. A slight blush on her puffing cheeks, though, made her look adorable and cute.

"Congratulation Snowy! It seems that I need to hug your thigh in the future," said Lin Ming teasingly.

"Pervert!"

"Lecher!"

"Um I don't think it is nice to touch unmarried girl, First Brother Lin Ming."

"Hey, hey. It's a figurative speech, figurative speech," Lin Ming shook his head and let out a wry smile making the girls softly giggling.

Feng Xue lean closer and hugged Snowy's arm while looking at her proudly, "I know you can do it, Snowy!"

"Un. Thank you, Xue," Snowy gave her a captivating smile capable of tugging the string in the heart of anybody who got a glimpse of it. 

"C-congratulation, M-miss Snowy! You're so awesome!" 

Chen Xiaoyun stuttered when she saw Snowy's charming expression. Unknowingly, her cheeks were turning slightly reddish.

"Thank you, Xiaoyun," Snowy said, "How about your matter with the Third Elder? Have you make the decision?"

"S-sorry, Miss Snowy I-I think I need more time."

"It's fine too, just take your time. Oh anyway, I've met with Meng Qi, she is a good girl."

"R-really? What does she say?"

"She is challenging me to compete with her in the first meeting."

"That is very typical of her."

"And she said thanks to me for helping you. She said you're her best friend,"

"S-she she said that? Hehe."

A shy smile was blooming on Chen Xiaoyun's face as her heart started pounding. 

Because The Meng Clan had helped her so much since the first time she came to Heaven Sword Sect, she was painfully aware of her debt of gratitude toward the clan. 

Thus, she didn't dare to be presumptuous to claim that the young miss of Meng Clan, Meng Qi, was her friend. 

However, the affirmation was coming from the other said so she felt a sudden bliss was spreading inside her. Whether she acknowledged it or not, Meng Qi has a special place in her heart.

"I sense the spring is finally coming for someone here, hehe."

"N-No, no It's not like that"

Chen Xiayoun's face became red beet from Lin Ming's teasing. 

She didn't know why she make that big of a reaction. What was she trying to deny? Why did she suddenly regret uttering such words and be glad that Meng Qi wasn't here?

Her face sunk as her mood became complicated.

"Have fun bullying a shy girl like Xiaoyun?"

"Just kidding, just kidding. Don't be angry"

Lin Ming hurriedly wave his hand when Zi Ling gave him a cold stare. 

"I don't know you are such a henpecked husband, First Brother," sneered Feng Xue.

"What a henpecked husband?! This is what you call 'being a gentleman', do you understand?" replied Lin Ming indignantly.

"I get it, I get it" Feng Xue shrugged her shoulder and stuck her tongue in a playful manner.

"You cheeky brat!"

Zi Ling didn't know whether to laugh or cry as she watch the two childish adults. She then shifted her attention to Snowy, looking at her solemnly.

"I don't expect that you improve so fast."

"I don't think it's fast enough."

Snowy was telling the truth. If it wasn't for the last month she spent on refining pills and consolidating her cultivation, with her heaven-defying cultivation method, she might already breakthrough to the Golden Core stage.

She also wanted to upgrade her constitution to a profound grade physique first before she advanced her cultivation. She only missed a few more ingredients to refine the medicine she needed for refining her body.

Of course, Zi Ling didn't know anything about it so her casual statement sounded like she was bragging. Zi Ling slightly frowned, she narrowed her eyes, feeling a little bit displeased.

"Don't bit more than you can chew. If anything happened to you, Junior Sister Feng will be affected too."

"I won't do anything that will make her worry."

"Hmph, just remember what you said."

A spark was flying when their gaze met. 

Feng Xue realized the tense mood between them and quickly interfered, "Senior Sister Zi Ling don't be mean to Snowy And Snowy, don't be rude to Senior Sister Zi. She is just a little bit too protective"

Snowy just nodded and didn't say anything more while Zi Ling lightly snorted.

"I just don't want her to hold you back and put you in danger," said Zi Ling.

"Hehe don't worry Senior Sister Zi. It is I who need to catch up with Snowy and not otherwise. I need to work harder," replied Feng Xue with a voice filled with determination.
