Daoist Master Of Qing Xuan Chapter 613 - Divine Blade

Chapter 613 - Divine Blade

The person who helped her was Wuding. But the girl in red did not appreciate it at all.
She looked up and asked, "What was it that you wanted to ask?"
The Lady Mother of the Chariot questioned, "What is your purpose of coming to Zhaoge?"
"I really miss my mother. My master told me that my mother would come and find me here at Zhaoge and that was why I came here to wait for her. Who knew that it would take her so long to come here. I was so bored and started to wander around. This place looked cool and that was why I came in." the girl in red responded.
The Lady Mother of the Chariot squinted her eyes and said, "Your mother? Ah, I see. That is really sly of him. Where is your master? Where is the place that he taught you cultivation? I don't believe that he would show you his true form."
"Why should I tell you? Aren't you super powerful? You should figure it out yourself." the girl in red pouted.
The Lady Mother of the Chariot laughed, "Your master is one of the most cultivated people in the Three Realms. I am not capable of reading him."
The girl in red said, "Looks like you are aware of it too. Anyway, you can ask but I don't have the answer because I have no idea where is my master's cultivation site."
The Lady Mother of the Chariot responded, "Forget it then. Meanwhile, you should stay with me. I believe that was your master's plan. I knew of all his wicked plans and he probably wanted to return me a favor. Fine, I shall give him a chance and see how much has he progressed after so many years of being sneaky."
The girl in red became wary and asked, "What are you up to?"
The Lady Mother of the Chariot answered, "By now you should know that the place that I am at is not somewhere you can come and go as you like."
The girl's expression changed, "You want to detain me and wait for my mother to come?" She then shook her head and continued, "No, that is not right. Considering that you are so powerful, my mother is definitely not your target. What do you want? Wait till my master comes...hold on, I am sure my master is also not your target."
The Lady Mother of the Chariot laughed, "You are a smart girl and I am more fond of you now. My dear grand-disciple, I have found you a good wife."
Wuding blushed, "Grandmaster, please stop joking."
The girl in red angrily responded, "I don't want to marry him!"
The Lady Mother of the Chariot smiled, "Wuding, head to the palace and bring some fresh dragon liver and phoenix bile. I want to entertain your sweetheart."
Wuding had an awkward expression, "Grandmaster, we are not allowed to harm phoenixes in Yinshang."
The Lady Mother of the Chariot responded, "Then get us some dragon liver and dragon meat, and also bring us some celestial wine."
Wuding responded, "Sure I will leave now." He then turned to the girl in red and spoke to her in a soft voice, "The grandmaster is not fierce. You just need to speak nicely to her and she would not make things difficult for you."
The girl in red turned her head away and scolded him in her heart, "Mind your own business."
Wuding sighed. He could tell that the reason his grandmaster wanted the girl to stay behind because of Shen Lian. Maybe the grandmaster would use her as a bait to attract Shen Lian. This was not something he wanted to see."
Guan Longzi and Shen Lian were among the very few people Wuding admired. Previously, Wuding had received information that Guan Longzi had passed away. He did not want Shen Lian to be in a situation that could jeopardize his safety.
He also knew that there was no way that he could influence the thoughts of great figures like Shen Lian and Uncle Tianyi. He also had no say in the actions of his master and grandmaster. Although all of them believed that he would master the Flying Star Incantation, achieve greatness and be the next generation leader of Yinshang, he had no self-confidence at all.
Furthermore, he did not want to take up such a burden. The happiest moments of his life was the time he spent at Diqiu. Although he was troubled by a whole lot of issues, he enjoyed the time he spent learning from Guan Longzi and Shen Lian. Not only could he feel his progress, he also did not have to bear that much expectations back then. Moreover, the goal of rescuing Uncle Tianyi kept him on track without losing himself.
With complex emotions, Wuding returned to the palace. He took the dragon meat, dragon liver and a bottle of celestial wine. As he was about to depart to the Residence of the Grand Preceptor, he sensed something odd and drew out his blade. The Qi of vitality of the heaven and earth were attracted to his blade as his blade sparkle like the star. If an outsider saw him, they would think that Wuding's blade was a shooting star beyond the universe.
Wuding's blade was fully activated by his spiritual senses. With the addition of his complex emotions, the blade unintentionally attained the abstruse of the Supreme Dao of Blade.
As he drew his blade, he felt somewhat lost in his heart.
Just like the calligraphers in the mortal world, when their emotions were disturbed or when they were stimulated emotionally, they would produce greatness in their work. Many masterpieces that have survived through time were produced in such manner. Even if the calligrapher returned to the same situation, it would be difficult for them to reproduce the same artwork.
But the effect of his blade did not live up its name of the divine blade. A finger gently touched it and its divine Qi disappeared.
Wuding looked and struggled to speak. He forced himself to stay composed and said, "Why are you here?"
The person who blocked Wuding's divine blade was not anyone else but Shen Lian. Shen Lian smiled and said, "Am I not allowed to enter Yinshang?"
Shen Lian's calm composure helped Wuding to calm down. Wuding responded, "Please leave."
Shen Lian said, "You have delicacies and fine wine in your hands but you are asking me to leave. Are you afraid that I will eat those up?"
Wuding smiled bitterly, "If there is something that you want to eat and if it is something that I can offer, I would definitely offer you. But you should know better that this is not the reason why I asked you to leave. Please stop joking around."
Shen Lian replied, "Wuding, your heart is too soft. People may think that you are not strong enough to achieve greatness but I really admire the sentimentality in your character."
Wuding said, "I know that life is like a game for you. But please have some mercy for people like us who are trapped in worldly suffering. Is it really necessary for you to meddle in this puddle of dirty water? It would only make other people unhappy and you too would end up being unhappy."
Shen Lian smiled, "You have progressed so much and are capable of applying your knowledge to mortal affairs. Guan Longzi indeed taught you well. Although he has passed away, I am sure he would be very proud to have a disciple like you."
Wuding responded, "Please don't praise me. Everyone says how good I am but I do not like such compliments. In fact, I am very envious of you although I know that it is impossible for me to be like you. That is why I am feeling so wishy-washy and struggling emotionally."
Shen Lian laughed out loud and Wuding was afraid that his master and grandmaster would find out that Shen Lian was indeed in Zhaoge. It would definitely trigger many unpredictable developments of events.
Shen Lian continued, "It has been a while since I last drank with someone. Why don't you accompany me today?"
"I am not worthy enough to drink with you." Wuding shook his head and laughed bitterly.
"There is no caste system on the table of wine. I can promise you that I have no other purpose and I all I wanted is a good drinking session, and I can also make you feel better." Shen Lian laughed.
