Chapter 372: It’s a Deal (3)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Daoist Xuanji was slightly surprised. “Are you planning to go back to get Xuanyuan Chao to teach you?”

“I know the Bowing Saber Spring, and I know there’s a path to take. I just need to figure it out myself. It won’t take much time.”

Daoist Xuanji agreed and didn’t say anything else. She leaned against the wall and drank some wine while waiting for Ye Jingtang to finish applying the medicine.

But not long after the two of them fell silent, their ears suddenly twitched at the same time. They heard the sound of rushing wind coming from afar.

The next moment, the bird outside also issued a warning. “Coo, coo!”

Ye Jingtang’s expression changed slightly. He immediately got up and picked up his saber from the side.

Daoist Xuanji quickly pulled off her blindfold and stood in front of Ye Jingtang with the Joyful Union Sword. Her expression was no longer as cynical as before, only focused and cautious.

Tread, tread, tread!

In just a moment, the sound of rushing wind in the distance crossed a few kilometers of the lake and arrived nearby. A familiar voice sounded from the wind and rain outside. “Kid, how are your injuries?”

The two of them breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this. Ye Jingtang hurriedly replied, “Hero Qiu, I’m applying medicine. I’ll put on my clothes immediately…”

“No need. I’m just here to ask you something. The major sects in Ze Province are holding a banquet in South Lake City tonight. They probably want to invite you to establish a sect in Ze Province. Will you go?”

“Invite me to establish a sect?”

“It’s just for show. Martial Chiefs all have their own territories. You took over Old Man Xuanyuan’s position, and you don’t belong to any sect or family. According to the customs of Jianghu, your next step should be to establish a sect to earn money.

“The major sects in Ze Province say that they’re inviting you, but they’re actually asking for information. If you stay in Ze Province, they’ll discuss in private and give up some property and territory to you so that you won’t come to teach them the rules. If you don’t have this intention, they’ll also give you generous gifts to congratulate you. This is the way of the world.”

Ye Jingtang nodded in understanding. He thought for a moment and said, “I’m the deputy commander of the Black Office. There’s no leader in Yun Province’s Jianghu. I still plan to develop in Yun Province in the future.”

“Being the overlord of Yun Province… To be honest, since ancient times, only you dare to do this. Alright, I’ll go back and tell those sect masters.”

Tread, tread, tread…

The sound of stepping on water quickly became distant, and in the blink of an eye, there was no more sound.

Ye Jingtang shook his head and smiled. Just as he was wondering if the title of ‘Overlord of Yun Province’ would offend the empress, he suddenly felt a chill in the cabin…

Ye Jingtang looked down. Daoist Xuanji, who was as tall as the tip of his nose, was leaning in front of him and maintaining a vigilant posture with her sword raised.Googlᴇ search novelenglish.net . Firᴇ(.)nᴇt

At this moment, she turned her head to look behind her. Her seductive peach blossom eyes clearly twitched, and a murderous aura gradually appeared on her face…

At the same time, he felt that in order to protect him, Daoist Xuanji’s back was leaning against his body, and the full moon was pressed against his waist. Although he had diverted his attention and said a few words, the scoundrel had yet to return to normal. It should have poked the girl…

F*ck… Ye Jingtang’s expression froze. He quickly pulled up his torn pants and tried to cover it, but it was clearly too late.

Daoist Xuanji turned around and saw the fierce-looking scoundrel. Even someone with outstanding wisdom like her felt as if she had been struck by lightning. She felt that she was no longer clean.

It would have been fine if Ye Jingtang was in a normal state. There was nothing they could have done since his pants were torn and he was exposed. But this brat actually…

He actually had such a big reaction to her!

If this wasn’t harboring evil intentions toward her, then what was it?

Daoist Xuanji narrowed his eyes slightly and slowly drew the Joyful Union Sword.

Clang!

Ye Jingtang’s expression changed drastically. He directly transformed into a disciple of the Crotch Covering Sect. “Hey, heroine, wait. Don’t be impulsive. I’m injured…”

“What do you mean?” Daoist Xuanji pointed her sword diagonally at the floor with a dangerous look in her eyes. “You’re blatantly lusting after the master of your lover. Do you think I’ll be like ordinary women who don’t dare to say anything and will just accept it?”

“No, no, it’s a misunderstanding. I fainted just now. When 1 was half-asleep, I felt someone helping me apply medicine. I subconsciously thought it was Ning’er, so…”

Daoist Xuanji narrowed her eyes. “You’re already awake, and we’ve been talking for a long time. Have you been holding up this dirty thing while talking to me?”

Ye Jingtang felt a little embarrassed. “It’s not like I can control it at will like my arms and legs. I can’t lift it up and put it down just like that. It takes time for my qi and blood to subside. I’m absolutely not interested in you, not interested at all…”

?

Daoist Xuanji felt that Ye Jingtang was telling the truth, but why did it sound so unpleasant? She took a deep breath and said, “Seeing is believing. Why should I believe you? You’ve already offended me. Tell me yourself, what should 1 do?!”

Ye Jingtang probed, “Last time, you rubbed against me for half a day. Why don’t we call it even?”

Daoist Xuanji felt that Ye Jingtang was really a little thick-skinned. “Call it even? Do you think I’m a three-year-old girl?”

“Then, what do you think we should do?”

Daoist Xuanji actually didn’t know what to do. She couldn’t let her disciple’s lover take responsibility for her. After some thought, she moved her sword away. “I’m a nun, and I’m not married. 1 can pretend that what just happened didn’t happen. But you have to help me do something.”

“What?”

“I’m already at the Half-Immortal realm, only a step away from the three Immortals on the mountain. But I’m stuck at the bottleneck of my body, and it’s difficult to make progress in this life. In this world, only the Roaring Dragon Chart can make a person be reborn. I’ve been searching for it all these years, but I’ve found nothing…”

Ye Jingtang understood what she meant. After the body was fixed, there was no way to change it. For this reason, the foundation of the body often determined the upper limit of martial artists.

For example, Guan Yujia had not built a good foundation and had left flaws in his body. No matter how good his perception was and how hard he worked, he couldn’t step into the realm of Unity of Heaven and Man.

In history, 90% of the Martial Chiefs had reached their peak before the age of 30. Then they were unable to take another step forward until their deaths. Most of it was because they had reached the maximum limit that their bodies could support.

Hearing that Daoist Xuanji was stuck at a bottleneck and needed the Roaring Dragon Chart, Ye Jingtang thought for a moment and asked, “In which way are you stuck? Which picture do you need?”

Daoist Xuanji needed five pictures, but this was clearly asking for the moon. Ye Jingtang would treat her as a fool. For this reason, she could only choose the two that she knew the approximate whereabouts of. Ye Jingtang might be able to obtain them.

“The only places martial artists can have problems with their bodies are their bones, muscles, and skin. I’ve already learned the Jade Bone Picture, so I still need the Golden Scale Picture and the Dragon Form Picture. The Golden Scale Picture is in Jiang Zhahu’s hands, and the Dragon Form Picture should be in the hands of a certain vassal prince…”

Because Ye Jingtang’s body was indeed uncomfortable, he sat down on the mat again. He thought for a moment and frowned. “The pictures of the Roaring Dragon Chart are not cabbages. If 1 have one, 1 can dominate a region like Jiang Zhahu. Just because i accidentally bumped into you, I have to find two pictures of the Roaring Dragon Chart for you…”

Daoist Xuanji knew the weight of the Roaring Dragon Chart and naturally understood that her request was a little unreasonable. She slowly sat on the opposite side and smiled. “Don’t worry. Even if you find them, I’m only borrowing them. Even if I have to hand them to the Imperial Court according to the law, I’ll ask Her Majesty to let you be the custodian. You can teach them to whoever you want without asking the Imperial Court. And the rewards that the Imperial Court should give you will not be missing a single cent. I can also satisfy an additional wish of yours.”

When Ye Jingtang heard these conditions, his heart couldn’t help skipping a beat.

Dumdum had let him learn the Jade Bone Picture unconditionally, and she cared about him very much. He had always wanted to return the favor and let her learn the Dragon Form Picture.

But if he took it out, he would have to hand it over according to the law. It was taboo to keep it for himself. In the future, if he wanted to teach it to others, he would have to inform the Imperial Court and go to the palace to check it out.

If he could get the right to decide freely through Daoist Xuanji’s promises, this matter would be much easier to handle…

With this in mind, Ye Jingtang asked, “If 1 really find them, what wish can Fairy Lu satisfy?”

Daoist Xuanji was looking for the Roaring Dragon Chart to extend her disciple’s life. She also knew that this task was very difficult. In order to motivate Ye Jingtang, she deliberately pretended to be improper and said with a smile, “It’s up to you. As long as you’re not afraid that Liren will send you to the castration room, 1 can consider some immoral requests.”

Ye Jingtang felt that she was teasing him again. He shook his head and said, “I don’t have any improper thoughts about you, so why would I make any improper requests? Let’s talk about it when I find them. If I really have a request then, just don’t go back on your word.”

“It’s a deal.”

Ye Jingtang and Daoist Xuanji had come out together, so he didn’t have the Dragon Form Picture with him. Even if he did, it was impossible for him to take it out now. He had to find a reasonable origin for it. He didn’t say anything else and continued applying the wound medicine. “Please go out first. Don’t look at anything inappropriate.”

“Sigh…”
