Chapter 10, you have arrived late

Senior brother, senior sister, the master has instructed me to deliver the immortal sword to you. The red one belongs to Senior Brother Duobao, the golden one belongs to Senior Sister Jinling, and the blue one belongs to Senior Sister Wudang

Jin Ling, who had been observing coldly, said淡淡地: "To advance and retreat appropriately, being able to instantly seize the flaws in your words during your provocation to counterattack, deeply understanding the principles of speed, accuracy, and decisiveness... This Senior Brother Xuan Cheng is quite formidable"

At the forefront walks a tall and robust young man, with a resolute face and piercing eyes, as if a glint of sword light is brewing within his gaze

It seems that my actions to punish Jin Guangxian have caused displeasure in the heart of this foremost disciple of Shangqing

She is very confident in her swordsmanship, but unfortunately, she has never heard such an evaluation from her master

At this moment, Wu Dang stepped forward and said softly, "Brother Xuan Cheng, just now Brother Duo Bao was merely speaking nonsense and made a mistake. I hope Brother Xuan Cheng will not hold it against him."

The tall and sturdy young man let out a soft "hmph" and bowed, saying: "The first disciple of the Jade Clear lineage, Duobao, pays respects to Senior Brother Xuancheng."

Regarding the identities of the three individuals, Lin An had guessed quite accurately. With a smile, he said: "Are the three of you perhaps direct disciples of my master's uncle? I am Xuan Cheng Zi, a disciple of the Yu Qing lineage"

Dobao nodded with great frustration, saying nothing at all

After both parties exchanged greetings, they can be considered to have gotten to know each other.

The woman on the left is graceful and elegant, dressed in a light golden gown, adorned with a golden necklace around her neck, and a hint of golden pattern on her forehead, exuding a sense of nobility combined with vibrant spirit; the woman on the right is fresh and refined, wearing a plain white dress, devoid of any embellishments, appearing neat and poised

Perhaps it is because Lin An has just come out of Biyou Palace, that there is a hint of suspicion in the eyes of the three.

Dobao broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead and said in a somewhat flustered manner, "I didn't mean it that way"

"Senior Brother Duobao, are you referring to the Qingming Sword?"

He smiled and said: "Today, after I emerged from seclusion, I heard that my master uncle has returned from his travels, so I came to pay my respects. Additionally, today I took action to punish Jin Guangxian. Although he was at fault initially, he is after all a disciple under my master uncle, so I specifically came to explain this matter clearly to my master uncle..."

This ... ...

The noble woman beside me also performed a bow, saying, "Jin Ling has met Senior Brother Xuan Cheng Zi."

Having exited the Emerald Palace, Lin An was preparing to return to his own Daoist temple when he saw three figures approaching him.

Lin An shook his head and smiled, saying: "What crime have I committed?"

Lin An once again performed a bow towards the three individuals, demonstrating impeccable etiquette. After the three returned the gesture, he then departed on the wind.

However, he also returned the greeting, "I have met you, Junior Brother Duobao."

Snap

Dobao was taken aback for a moment and quickly said: "This goes without saying, of course it is up to the Master to decide"

Having finished speaking, he glanced at Jin Ling and Wu Dang, "What do you two think?"

Disciples Duo Bao, Jin Ling, and Wu Dang, pay their respects to the Master!

To put it bluntly, this is nothing more than a forced interpretation

In that case, let it be.

Lin An then shouted: "Is it you or your master uncle who is in charge of the Shangqing lineage?"

The three of them chatted as they arrived in front of the Biyou Palace

After he left, Duo Bao spat resentfully at his retreating figure, "This fellow is truly cunning!"

rumble

"Sister Wudang is not wrong; I just misspoke a moment ago. I hope Brother Xuancheng will not take offense."

Duo Bao's expression also eased slightly as he raised an eyebrow and said, "I wonder what important matter you have at Bi You Palace, Senior Brother?"

Lin An bowed and said, "I have met with you, Junior Sister Wudang."

Upon hearing this, a hint of envy appeared in Jin Ling's eyes.

Lin An could tell at a glance that this was a manifestation of the profound level of swordsmanship training, constantly honing his sword intent at any time and in any place

Isn't it said to be modeled after the Qingping Sword? This doesn't look like it either

Alright, then I will take my leave first

The primordial essence places great importance on propriety; as a disciple of the Jade Purity lineage, one must ensure that one’s conduct is beyond reproach in matters of etiquette, no matter where one goes

Lin An did not conceal anything; he was aware that everything happening outside could not possibly be hidden from the all-seeing eyes of Biyou Palace.

Wu Dang shook his head, "Let's not worry about him anymore. Let's go retrieve the sword. I heard that Master specially forged a celestial sword modeled after his Qingping Sword, and it's highly likely that it is meant for you. It seems Master holds you in high regard."

Walking behind are two young women

Lin An smiled and said: "However, as your senior, I must remind you to be cautious with your words and actions next time"

As the Immortal Sword was grasped, a powerful wave of spiritual energy emanated from it. Jin Ling and Wu Dang were both filled with joy, while Duo Bao looked at the Immortal Sword in his hand with a hint of curiosity.

Duobao was momentarily stunned by his sudden roar. What outrageous words did I say?

The Water and Fire Boy smiled and said, "You are late; that sword has been taken by Senior Brother Xuancheng."

Lin An smiled in return and said: "I have met Junior Sister Jin Ling."

The graceful young woman sensed the awkward atmosphere between the two and quickly stepped forward, apologetically bowing to Lin An and saying: "I have not had the pleasure of meeting you, Brother Xuancheng."

The tall and robust young man had a slightly somber expression as he fixed his gaze on him and coldly said: "Are you the first disciple of the Xuanmen? Today, you are the one who sealed the Golden Light Immortal?"

A crisp sound was heard, as the immortal sword in Duobao's hand fell to the ground

Duobao glanced at the Biyou Palace behind Lin An, his mind in a state of confusion akin to a tangled rope

Lin An nodded slightly and said calmly, "It was I who did it"

It turns out that the senior brother has come to apologize

Lin An noticed that he had emphasized the words "first disciple," and he couldn't help but feel a bit amused.

Duobao nodded and said, "He is indeed formidable. Do not be deceived by the fact that he is merely a True Immortal; I had previously inquired with Jinguang Xian, and he was sealed without being able to withstand even a single move."

How could he not know that Lin An was deliberately picking at the flaws in his words

The Water and Fire Boy was distributing the celestial swords to the three individuals while speaking.

Before he could finish speaking, Duo Bao let out a light laugh, and his gaze towards Lin An carried a hint of disdain

He thought for a moment and called out to the Fire and Water Boy, who was about to close the door and return to the palace, "Young lad, did you perhaps take the wrong celestial sword? It should be a celestial sword somewhat similar to the Qingping Sword, right?"

While Lin An was sizing up the three individuals, they were also assessing him.

Duobao was extremely angry, yet he had no choice but to use the steps created by Wudang to come down.

Since the master uncle has made the decision, he has clearly stated that the matter of Jin Guangxian will be handled by me, the foremost disciple of the Xuanmen. Why do you keep insisting that it is not my place to administer punishment

The problem is that Lin An has just come out of Biyou Palace, and their argument could not have gone unnoticed by the master who was inside Biyou Palace, yet there was not the slightest reaction from him

What do you mean? What you just said with your own mouth, are you suggesting that I am slandering you? Come, let us go to Biyou Palace to seek justice from our master uncle!

Duobao's expression darkened once again as he coldly shouted: "Jinguang Xian is a disciple of my Shangqing lineage. Even if there are mistakes, it is not for you to impose punishment!"

The grand gate of Biyou Palace swung open with a resounding sound, and the exquisitely carved Water and Fire Boys emerged, surrounded by three floating orbs of spiritual light, which were divided into red, gold, and blue colors, resembling three celestial swords.

Lin An did not intend to dwell on it, smiling as he looked at Duo Bao, "Is that so?"

As soon as the words were spoken, Lin An suddenly shouted loudly: "Impudent! You have only just begun, how dare you speak such arrogant words?"

Speaking of this, the dim sword intent in Duo Bao's eyes became sharp once again, and he smiled as he said: "My master once mentioned that my swordsmanship bears some resemblance to his. It is likely for this reason that he had the Qingping Sword forge a similar immortal sword for me."
