Chapter 115: The Blind White-haired Girl Playing Erhu
The next day, on the street of Changle Pavilion.
A desolate erhu sound rang out, and a blind white-haired girl was playing the erhu.
Early in the morning, March 7th dragged Meng Huaifeng, A Xing, and Zhu Zhuqing out shopping. Hong Kou and Po Xiao were still being intimate, so they didn’t disturb them.
“This young lady has decided, I want to learn sword technique!” March 7th announced.
“Didn’t you say before that you wanted to become a Grand Magus? It seems like not much time has passed.” Meng Huaifeng said.
“A Grand Magus has limits, can only bully little monsters. I want to cultivate an incomparably sharp sword intent, to chop down the stars in the sky! See if Huanlong dares to ignore this young lady’s attacks next time!” March 7th said, puffed up with anger.
In yesterday’s combat, whenever an attack couldn’t be dodged, Huanlong would choose to take March 7th’s attack head-on and break through from her side. It was really too much!
“A Grand Magus is indeed weak, but you can become a Saint of Law, God of Law.” A Xing suggested.
“Even a Saint of Law or God of Law needs a long time to use an ultimate move, and still fears close combat. Look at General Jing Yuan’s move Illuminating Myriad Rivers yesterday, such great power. This young lady has decided to learn swordsmanship!” March 7th said.
The blind girl slightly tilted her head.
“You’re like this, falling for one after seeing one. March, being fickle won’t make you stronger. You should learn from me, focus single-mindedly.” A Xing said with hands on hips.
“Then hand over the flame spear?”
“No way.” A Xing hurriedly shook her head.
“Is it possible that General Jing Yuan is the strong one?” Meng Huaifeng said.
“People often talk about sword intent, but I’ve never heard of arrow intent. Feels like swords are just stronger than bow and arrow, right?” March 7th said somewhat annoyed: “By the way, why did this young lady choose to learn bow and arrow before?”
“If you don’t even know, we know even less.” Meng Huaifeng said.
“I think my path with bow and arrow and Grand Magus is so difficult because no one else on the train is good at these two things, and no one to guide this young lady. Yesterday General Jing Yuan said I could find someone to teach me. This time this young lady will seize the opportunity, study diligently and practice hard, to become a first generation Sword God!” March 7th said full of confidence.
“Learning sword intent probably requires comprehension, right?” A Xing looked at March 7th suspiciously.
“A Xing, what do you mean?” March 7th said with puffed cheeks.
“I feel like you won’t learn long before switching to something else.” A Xing shook her head with a tsk.
“Absolutely not! This young lady swears, if this time I can’t learn…”
Before March 7th finished speaking, Meng Huaifeng hurriedly covered her mouth.
“Don’t swear, if you can’t learn it, you can’t learn it, it doesn’t matter.” Meng Huaifeng said.
“You don’t believe me either.” March 7th pulled a long face, looking aggrieved at Meng Huaifeng.
“I believe, I believe you.” Can’t discourage her all the time, Meng Huaifeng encouraged.
“Sister March, I believe you too.” Zhu Zhuqing encouraged.
“That’s more like it. This time I’m super serious!” March 7th said satisfied.
“Ah yes yes yes, so how do you plan to learn?” Meng Huaifeng asked.
“First, buy a set of clothes.” March 7th said, pinching her chin.
“Buy clothes?”
“It’s all A Xing’s fault! I don’t want yesterday’s thing to happen again!” March 7th glared fiercely at A Xing, it was so embarrassing.
That was indeed pretty awkward.
A Xing turned her head away nonchalantly and whistled.
“What happened yesterday?” Zhu Zhuqing asked, puzzled like a cat.
“Kids shouldn’t ask so much.” Meng Huaifeng said, lest March 7th get angry from embarrassment.
“So this young lady wants to change her outfit first, to prevent others from recognizing me, and also make it convenient for sword practice.” March 7th had a decent plan.
The erhu sound stopped.
March 7th felt sympathy seeing the blind girl who got no tips at all.
“Sister, this place is quite remote, not many people. Go three hundred meters further west, there’s a lot of people there.”
March 7th looked around and didn’t find a bowl or other container for tips, so she stuffed dozens of Xun Di into the blind girl’s hand.
The blind girl was slightly stunned, then said: “Young girl, you want to learn sword?”
“Mm-hmm.” March 7th nodded repeatedly.
“Why do you want to learn sword?” The blind girl continued to ask.
“Why? Just want to learn, want to become a bit stronger.” March 7th scratched her head.
“You’re good at ice element power?”
“Sister, how did you see that?”
“If you really want to learn sword, tomorrow at this time, come here to find me.” The blind girl didn’t answer, said faintly.
“Sister, you know sword too? But General Jing Yuan said he’d find someone to teach me.” March 7th said somewhat troubled.
“Jing Yuan found someone to teach you? Who, his disciple? I heard his disciple is now the strongest in Xianzhou swordsmanship. He himself is half-baked, how strong can his disciple be?” The blind girl said disdainfully.
“How can you say that? General Jing Yuan’s Illuminating Myriad Rivers yesterday was so powerful!” March 7th praised.
“Just brute force brick flying, sword technique cultivation a mess, not even half of mine.” Suddenly, powerful sword intent burst from the blind girl.
Meng Huaifeng and the others only felt a chill spread through their bodies, as if their whole bodies were pointed at by icy sword blades, and the next moment they’d be chopped to pieces!
Fortunately, this feeling flashed by, and the blind girl returned to her calm demeanor.
“So… so amazing!” March 7th said in shock.
“If you want to learn, come here tomorrow at this time. I’m leaving first. These Xun Di, consider them tuition.” The blind girl put away the erhu and left.
“Wait, I still don’t know your name?” March 7th shouted at her back.
“Jingliu.”
“Do you think she’s really stronger than General Jing Yuan?”
After Jingliu’s figure disappeared, March 7th said to Meng Huaifeng and the others.
“Pure strength definitely not as good, but purely swordsmanship, probably stronger.” Meng Huaifeng said.
“Could this be the legendary hidden expert? Oh no, March really encountered a fortuitous opportunity!” A Xing said surprised.
“Haha, finally this young lady’s turn to enjoy protagonist treatment. This young lady’s path to Sword God will be unstoppable, invincible everywhere!” March 7th laughed proudly.
“Ding dong.”
A message notification sounded.
Meng Huaifeng took out his mobile phone and looked. It was a message from little dragon person Jingliu.
Jingliu: “Brother Huai Feng, you said yesterday you’d contact someone to perfect my legacy for me. He’s coming in one hour to perfect my legacy, but I don’t know him. Will you all come together?”
“Huh? Jingliu told me she has an appointment with Dan Heng to meet, to awaken her martial spirit. Are you going to watch?” Meng Huaifeng asked.
“Of course we have to go, this is our original goal coming to Luofu!” March 7th said hurriedly.
“Why did Jingliu tell us, not Dan Heng?” A Xing said strangely.
“Damn, Dan Heng that guy wants to act alone again, isolating us.” March 7th said puffed up.
“Good thing I saved Jingliu once yesterday too. The young girl trusts me a lot, told me proactively. Otherwise Dan Heng would’ve quietly finished it.” Meng Huaifeng said.
“Hurry, hurry, buy clothes later.”
……
“You didn’t run when you saw me?”
In a place Meng Huaifeng and the others couldn’t see, Jingliu faced Dan Heng.
“Why are you on Xianzhou too?”
Dan Heng looked at Jingliu with a complicated expression. Even though his strength was no longer inferior to hers, he still faintly wanted to flee.
Not long after being exiled from Xianzhou, he was entangled by this red-eyed madwoman. Several times he nearly died under her sword.
But later for some reason, she disappeared and stopped chasing him.
However, before he could celebrate, he was entangled by Blade.
This time suddenly sensing that familiar sword intent, he was scared and immediately ran over to check.
“If you can be here, why can’t I? I’m curious why you came back.” Jingliu asked.
“I came back to return the Luofu Dragon Lord legacy.” Dan Heng said.
The eyes under Jingliu’s eye patch began to faintly turn red.
He was no longer Dan Feng.
Grudges had nothing to do with him.
Jingliu had realized this during the pursuit.
Jingliu’s state of mind calmed again, the blood color in her eyes gradually fading.
“Do you know where she is?” Jingliu asked.
“I’ve already contacted her, about to go find her.” Dan Heng hesitated a moment and told the truth.
“I’ll go with you.”
“You…” Dan Heng was somewhat uneasy. In his impression, this woman was completely crazy.
“I can swear, I absolutely won’t attack or harm anyone.” Jingliu understood Dan Heng’s concern and said proactively.
Dan Heng looked at Jingliu’s fairly calm aura and ultimately chose to trust her.
……
Jingliu, who didn’t return to the Alchemy Commission yesterday, stayed at a clinic. Meng Huaifeng and the others quickly found the place and conveniently informed Himeko, Hong Kou, and Po Xiao, not knowing if they’d come watch the fun.
“Brother, sisters, you came. Seeing you’re all safe and sound, last night’s matter must have gone very smoothly, right?” Jingliu greeted everyone warmly.
“Of course, Huanlong was beaten away by us, and the stellar core was sealed.” A Xing said proudly.
“So amazing!” Jingliu praised.
“The main force was General Jing Yuan, we just helped a bit.” March 7th said.
Under Jingliu’s questioning, Meng Huaifeng detailed last night’s events to her.
Compared to the dry version when introducing to Huanlong back then, it was much more ups and downs, smooth and humorous.
Soon Himeko, Hong Kou, and Po Xiao also arrived.
After introducing the few she didn’t know to Jingliu, and waiting a moment, Dan Heng’s voice sounded outside the door.
“Train crew Dan Heng, come to visit Luofu Dragon Lord Miss Jingliu.”
Opening the door, when Dan Heng saw the train crew all neatly inside, he was stunned.
“Hmph hmph, didn’t expect that, right! Jingliu got to know us first.” Meng Huaifeng said with a smirk, looking at the dumbfounded Dan Heng.
“Yeah yeah, on Douluo Continent you ran off alone to Xingdou Forest, leaving us behind. Now again like this. Looks like you still haven’t realized your mistake. Apologize, you must apologize to us.” A Xing condemned.
“Alright, I was wrong. I thought this wasn’t a big deal, could finish in a moment.” Dan Heng smiled wryly. He didn’t like troubling others with his matters or wasting their time.
“How is it not a big deal? This is our main goal coming to Luofu.” March 7th suddenly saw the blind white-haired woman behind Dan Heng and said surprised: “Sister Jingliu, why are you here too?”
“You’ve found your companions, cherish them well, work hard to become stronger, don’t repeat our mistakes.” Jingliu patted Dan Heng’s shoulder.
“I know.” Dan Heng nodded solemnly.
“Dan Heng, you know Sister Jingliu?” March 7th asked.
“Sort of know.” If being chased by her counts.
“Don’t mind me, I’m just here to see someone.” Jingliu leaned against the door, staring blankly toward Jingliu’s direction.
“Um, can you see?” March 7th suddenly realized she said something wrong and hurriedly explained: “I mean, I didn’t mean to bring up sister’s scar. What I mean is, whoever you want to see, I’ll help find them.”
“I’ve already seen.” Jingliu smiled lightly.
“Never mind, her eyes are fine.” Meng Huaifeng pulled March 7th.
“But even if eyes are good, can’t see through the eye patch.” March 7th scratched her head.
Jingliu walked to Dan Heng’s side, looked up at him and said: “Are you the former Luofu Dragon Lord? Why don’t you have dragon horns and tail?”
“I put them away. I’m no longer Dragon Lord, parading with them isn’t good.” Dan Heng squatted down, looked at Jingliu and said softly.
“Ah, they can be put away? Why can’t I? Every time I go out I get exposed because of them.” Jingliu asked.
“Of course, you’ll be able to in the future too.”
“After perfecting the Dragon Lord legacy? Come on, I’m ready.” Jingliu said expectantly.
“Good, close your eyes.”
Jingliu obediently closed her eyes. Dan Heng gently tapped her forehead and used the method he’d researched and improved for over two years to awaken her martial spirit.
……
Outside Luofu in outer space, a small stealth spaceship was parked.
“Hey, Blade, you’re really going? Very brave.” Silver Wolf blew a huge bubble, admiring.
“Miss this time, who knows when next chance to see him.” Blade wrapped the somewhat loose bandage on his hand.
Embarrassing, socially dead, does he care?
Not afraid at all.
“Even if you see him, you can’t kill him, meaningful?” Silver Wolf asked.
Blade was silent a moment, then hissed: “Yes.”
Not just because of Dan Heng.
He’d seen the previously discarded script. Everyone else was there, he didn’t want to be absent.
Though he didn’t know what seeing the others would be like, he wanted to go.
“Alright, I’ve opened Xianzhou’s blockade. You can go down. Remember what Elio said, don’t do extra things.” Silver Wolf reminded.
“I know.” Blade leaped down, falling toward Xianzhou.
Elio’s voice sounded in Silver Wolf’s ear.
“He went?”
“Mm, so what’s the not-so-good thing this time?” Silver Wolf asked curiously.
“Not for him, for us.” Elio sighed.
“Us?” Silver Wolf was a bit confused.
“In sixty percent of scripts, he won’t come back.” Elio said.
“He’ll die?” Silver Wolf’s pupils shrank.
“No.”
“Then why won’t he come back? Imprisoned by Xianzhou?”
“Possible.”
“So the not-so-good is we’ll lose an admiral? I say, with your ability, you can totally design a script where he comes back 100%.”
“But that ending is what Blade hopes for. I don’t know if I should interfere with him.” Elio was extremely conflicted.
He still hoped to keep Blade in his service, so he said if Blade went the result might not be good.
Just because of that one sentence from him, the chance Blade would go had already dropped 80%, but unexpectedly Blade still chose to go.
Since he’s gone, let it be.
“Didn’t expect you to care so much about Blade.” Silver Wolf said surprised.
“If a better outcome for you appears midway, I’ll let go.” Elio said seriously.
