Chapter 768: Watching the Sword Dance at the Foot of Xiaozhu Peak

Dazhu Peak, the small courtyard with corridor in front of Shoujing Hall.

This is where the disciples live.

There are only seven disciples in Dazhu Peak, and each of them is assigned a large and spacious room.

After dinner, Su Mingzhe returned to his bedroom, ready to continue reading by lamplight, and finish reading the bamboo slips he borrowed from his fourth senior brother during the day.

There was a rustling sound of footsteps outside the door and they stopped at the door.

Boom boom boom!
As the knock on the door came, Du Bishu's voice came in:
"Old Seven, are you asleep?"

"Sixth Brother, the door is not closed!"

Su Mingzhe waved his hand, controlled his energy and opened the door, revealing Du Bishu standing outside.

Du Bishu hurriedly entered the room, turned around and closed the door, tiptoed to Su Mingzhe's side, and whispered:

"Seventh Brother, Senior Brother said that we should not rest for a while, but take us to a fun place in the evening!"

Su Mingzhe was delighted when he heard this:

"Are you going to watch the senior sisters from Xiaozhu Peak practice sword formations?"

"Huh? How do you know?"

Du Bishu was shocked. He had just learned about this from his fifth senior brother a few days ago.

Seeing Su Mingzhe's calm expression, could it be that this kid has already been there?
Thinking of this, Du Bishu suddenly became furious:

"Okay, Lao Qi! We agreed to be good brothers. You guys went to Xiaozhu Peak by yourselves, but you never called me. Do you still consider me a good brother?"

"That means you can't fly!"

Su Mingzhe responded with a smile.

On every full-moon night, he and several of his fellow brothers would go to Xiaozhu Peak to watch their fellow sisters practice sword formations.

But he had never traveled with several of his senior brothers.

Now that Du Bishu could also fly, he was called by several fellow disciples to go together.

After a while, bursts of cricket chirping were heard outside.

When Du Bishu heard the secret signal, he didn't care about being angry with Su Mingzhe. He quickly opened the door and came to the courtyard, where he saw that Song Daren and several other senior brothers had already arrived.

At this moment, Du Bishu was jumping up and down like a monkey, bowing to several brothers and saying:
"Senior brothers, could one of you take me with you for a while?"

"Old Six, can't you fly?"

Several fellow disciples didn't mind giving him a ride.

However, Laoliu can fly now, so why does he need someone else to carry him?

Du Bishu chuckled and explained:
"I'm not that experienced in flying yet, and I'm afraid of making too much noise and startling the senior and junior sisters at Xiaozhu Peak."

"In that case, let me do it!"

The fourth brother He Dazhi said as he threw out his magic weapon, the 'Jiangshan Pen', and stretched out his hand to grab it. A stream of energy transformed into an invisible big hand, and grabbed Du Bishu onto his magic weapon.

The other brothers also threw out their magic weapons, and then said to Su Mingzhe:

"Xiao Qi, follow us closely and don't fall behind!"

Seeing everyone admonishing Su Mingzhe, Du Bishu couldn't help but reveal Su Mingzhe's secrets:

"Xiao Qi has been there a long time ago!"

"That's good!"

Several fellow disciples laughed and did not ask Su Mingzhe when he was going to Xiaozhu Peak. They turned around and flew towards their destination.

Su Mingzhe threw out the 'Meteor Cone' with a smile, and flew up with a few others.

The group of seven flew at low altitudes in order to avoid being discovered by the disciples on night watch.

After everyone became familiar with the route, they passed through layers of dense jungle and landed in a reed bed.

This reed marsh is where the female disciples of Xiaozhu Peak practice sword formations.

The female disciples of Xiaozhu Peak have practiced here for hundreds of years, and the sword energy they unintentionally emitted has turned the original mountain ridge into a swamp.

A few people quietly selected a location, only to find that disciples from other peaks had already gathered here.

Fortunately, everyone had the same purpose and they were neither surprised nor disturbed each other.

After everyone chose a seat, things slowly quieted down.

At this time, there was a tall disciple who arrived later and was still trying to squeeze forward in order to have a better view.

His actions immediately aroused public anger.

A handsome young man squatting with Su Mingzhe heard the messy noise behind him and couldn't help but complain:
"Everyone, be quiet. Be careful not to startle Xiaozhu Peak's junior sister. No one can see!"

'Xiaozhufeng' and 'Junior Sister', these two words really have great magic.

All the disciples present fell silent instantly.

At this moment, seven young ladies were seen descending from the sky in fairy robes, stepping on white clouds and mist.

Because it was a full moon night, the moonlight was bright.

Su Mingzhe had excellent eyesight and he easily recognized that the girl occupying the central position among the seven fairies was none other than Lu Xueqi, the heroine whom he had missed for a month.

Lu Xueqi entered Qingyun Sect two years earlier than Su Mingzhe. She is now at the fifth level of Yuqing Realm and her talent for cultivation is much stronger than that of her junior sister Tian Ling'er.

She had bright eyes, white teeth, flowing black hair, and was so beautiful that she looked like a fairy from Guanghan Palace descending to the earth. Everyone who looked at her for a second felt ashamed of themselves.

"She is indeed worthy of being the wife I have chosen. Even in a purple dress, she is still stunningly beautiful!"

The disciples of Xiaozhu Peak have been practicing sword formations for hundreds of years.

The habit of disciples from other peaks coming to spy has also continued for hundreds of years.

Everyone sees through this kind of thing but doesn't talk about it.

As soon as the disciples of Xiaozhu Peak finished their practice, everyone retreated quietly.

"Where's Senior Brother?"

Su Mingzhe met up with several brothers, but did not see Song Daren, and was shocked:
"Could it be that Senior Brother is like Zhang Xiaofan in the movie, clumsy and caught by the senior sisters and junior sisters of Xiaozhu Peak?" Fortunately, before Su Mingzhe turned around to look for him, Second Senior Brother Wu Dayi beside him had already explained:

"Xiao Qi, Senior Brother and Junior Sister Wenmin from Xiaozhu Peak are in love with each other. They must be together under the moonlight right now. We don't need to disturb him!"

"I see!"

After hearing the explanation, Su Mingzhe suddenly felt a little envious of his senior brother.

Song Daren looked honest and kind, but unexpectedly, he managed to win over a junior sister from Xiaozhu Peak without making any noise. This made him much stronger than his other senior brothers.

"Let's go back first!"

As Wu Dayi spoke, he threw out his magic weapon first and led everyone to fly back to Dazhu Peak.

And at this moment, Song Daren was indeed partying with the beauty.

However, the two did not spend time together under the moonlight.

Song Daren was recounting his breakthrough in cultivation with an excited look on his face.

"Brother! You said that you have already reached the sixth level of Jade Purity Realm?"

Wenmin is a standard oval-faced beauty with fair skin, gentle temperament, and always with a smile on her lips.

She and Song Daren have known each other for more than a hundred years and have long been in love with each other. They are just waiting for their cultivation to reach the seventh level of Yuqing Realm before reporting the situation to their masters.

At this moment, hearing that Song Daren had reached the sixth level of Yuqing Realm, he was naturally overjoyed.

This also means that the two are one step closer to getting married.

"Junior sister, I was able to break through thanks to my junior brother..."

Song Daren came to see Wen Min this time not only to report the good news, but more importantly, he wanted to tell his lover the trick that Su Mingzhe told her.

"...Junior sister, that's about it. You can give it a try after you go back. Maybe you can break through to the sixth level soon!"

Wen Min's qualifications are similar to Song Daren's, and he was also trapped in Yuqing Realm for decades.

Hearing about the tricky cultivation method, Wen Min thought more:
"Brother, I've heard from my master that everything has its pros and cons. I'm afraid these tricks that Junior Brother Su mentioned may have some disadvantages, right?"

“I haven’t heard him talk about this.”

Song Daren was speechless for a moment.

His aptitude for cultivation and his comprehension are just at the level of an ordinary person.

It was a rare achievement for Wenmin to be able to learn all the methods Su Mingzhe taught her.

Faced with Wen Min's questions, how could Song Daren answer them?
Seeing this, Wenmin realized that her question was somewhat embarrassing for her senior brother Song.

After thinking for a moment, she spoke again:

"Brother Song, how about I go visit Brother Su tomorrow and ask him for advice in person? Is that okay?"

"Of course it's no problem!"

When Song Daren heard that his lover would no longer question him, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

As for Wenmin wanting to ask his junior brother, then go ahead and ask.

Anyway, the master and his wife didn't forbid others from visiting.

It was the next day in a blink of an eye.

Tian Buyi came back from Tongtian Peak, sighing incessantly, and sometimes sitting there in a daze, looking up at the sky, no one knew what he was thinking about.

When Su Ru saw her husband's look, she knew that he had failed to achieve his goal by going to see Senior Brother Wan.

However, she had anticipated this kind of thing.

Senior Brother Wan Jianyi has always been generous and magnanimous, and doesn't like to force others.

Tian Buyi has been the head of Dazhu Peak for so many years, and he finally accepted a talented disciple.

How could Senior Brother Wan steal someone's love?
Therefore, before Tian Buyi went to find Wan Jianyi, Su Ru had already guessed the result.

In order to enlighten her husband, Su Ru thought for a moment and then said:

"Brother, Xiaoliu and Ling'er have both reached the fourth floor. I want to pass the Amber Red Silk to Ling'er. As for Xiaoliu, I want Xiaoqi to go down the mountain with him to gain some experience. What do you think?"

"Let Xiao Qi go down the mountain?"

When Tian Buyi heard that the matter concerned his most beloved young apprentice and his daughter, he was startled and shook his head slightly.
"Xiao Qi, he's too young. Let's wait another two years."

In Tian Buyi's eyes, Su Mingzhe had only been in the mountain for seven years, and apart from the Tai Chi Xuan Qing Dao, he had not learned any other skills.

If we just let go of the mountain, he will be worried.

"Brother, you are worrying too much. I want the three of them to go down the mountain together. Xiaoliu has been hanging out in the market since he was a child, Xiaoqi is also smart and wise, and Ling'er has been well-behaved since he was a child. I believe that there will be no problem if the three of them go down the mountain together."

Su Ru and her husband discussed it for a long time.

Su Mingzhe is now at the Shangqing realm, and is considered a master in both the righteous and evil worlds. Except for a dozen or so people who can suppress him, it is difficult for others to even get close to him.

Su Ru believed that this trio would be safe as long as they didn't go to the Demon Cult's headquarters.

In the end, Tian Buyi was persuaded by his wife and nodded to agree that the three of them could go down the mountain together.

However, Tian Buyi finally said to his wife:

"If you let Xiao Qi and Xiao Liu go down the mountain together, you have to refine a few more furnaces of fasting pills, Junior Sister. I will not eat the food cooked by Xiao Wu no matter what!"

"I don't want to eat it either!"

Su Ru watched her husband regain his composure and smiled, "I'll make a few more furnaces and give them three to eat on the road."

The couple couldn't help but laugh.

Seeing her husband's mood recover, Su Ru smiled and said:

"Brother, let me go inform Xiaoliu and Xiaoqi."

"Go."

Tian Buyi said that and went back to the backyard to catch up on his sleep.
