There’s Something Wrong With This Account

Chapter 349: 349, [My Lord, the Sword Sheath] (Seeking monthly votes!)
Between two enormous rocks, one tall and one short, teacher and disciple sat cross-legged among the bamboo forest.

Gu Xiaoman glanced at Ji Li, who was quietly studying her, and said, “Close… close your eyes, calm… calm your mind.”

Ji Li immediately complied and stopped her wandering thoughts.

She didn’t know why, her master stuttered when speaking, but she inexplicably felt somewhat afraid of her.

After Ji Li closed her eyes, Gu Xiaoman did nothing. After a few moments, she raised her right forefinger, and pointed lightly in Ji Li’s direction.

Ripples spread through the air, like a droplet landing on the smooth surface of water.

The ripples slowly extended forward, touching Ji Li.

She suddenly felt as if she could “see.”

Although her eyes were closed, it seemed that she had seen something.

This feeling was mysterious; it was hard to describe in words.

It was as if in an instant, she could perceive everything in the bamboo forest.

This feeling lasted for nearly ten minutes before gradually dissipating.

When Ji Li opened her eyes, looking at the bamboo forest again, everything seemed to have changed.

“From… from today on, come here every morn… morning, and feel the world with me.” The second senior sister stuttered calmly.

Lu Xun stood below, looking up at the teacher and disciple with a smile on his face.

He loved the second senior sister’s calm stuttering the most.

After all, most stutterers talk in a rush, while the second senior sister is always calm.

Anyway, he liked to hear the second senior sister speak.

He didn’t understand, however, what the second senior sister had just done and what she was teaching.

Perhaps Ji Li, the one involved, didn’t quite understand either.

Ji Li sat on the stone, took a deep breath, and said to Gu Xiaoman: “Disciple obeys.”

The second senior sister nodded, then turned her gaze away from her, closed her eyes, and began to meditate.

Lu Xun understood that the second senior sister was asking her to leave. He waved at Ji Li and said, “Come down, let’s go back to the Small Study.”

“Okay,” Ji Li saluted Gu Xiaoman, then jumped off the large rock and joined Lu Xun and the others.

Mao Nanbei stayed on Lu Xun’s shoulder like a small pendant. She stretched out her paw to point at Ji Li, then pointed at her own mouth, smacked her lips and made a few sounds.

Lu Xun understood her meaning immediately, smiling and saying, “Fourth senior sister, I understand. There’s a new member in our hill today, I will cook more dishes.”

The little black cat nodded satisfactorily, lifted its small paw, and patted Lu Xun’s shoulder lightly, expressing its approval of his understanding.

On the way back to the Small Study, Lu Xun looked at Lin Chan and asked, “Little Chan, how is your sword-drawing technique progressing?”

Lin Chan raised her right hand, her thumb and forefinger indicating a distance of about a centimeter, meaning she had made a little progress.

Lu Xun nodded in satisfaction, saying: “Keep practicing. If you don’t understand something, you can ask me to explain.”

He had already leveled up his sword-drawing technique to level 3 thanks to his experience points last night, which could be considered a small success.

As a master, he had to act like one. What if Lin Chan learned too quickly? What would he do then?

When they arrived at the Small Study, Lu Xun said to Ji Li: “Let’s go, I’ll take you to your room.”

Ji Li immediately nodded and followed.

However, to her disappointment, Lin Chan lived in the room next to Lu Xun’s, and she could only live in the room next to Lin Chan’s.

Alas, it felt somewhat distant.

If they were only separated by one wall, then it was almost like they were living together!

As a young girl, there were more things to tidy up.

Lu Xun left Ji Li to sort out her things in her room, and sensible Lin Chan stayed to help. He took Mao Nanbei to the kitchen to start preparing dinner.

Once Lu Xun left, Ji Li retrieved her personal items from her storage ring. Most of them were the essentials for a girl’s life.

While Lin Chan was helping her sort out her clothes, she looked at the size of some intimate apparel, and then looked at Ji Li again.

Soon to be an adult, Little Chan had fully matured, her body perfectly curved, creating a pleasing silhouette.

Nevertheless, she was still no match for Ji Li.

Ji Li spent her first day on the back mountain in tranquility and peace.

The next day, she woke up early in the morning, went to the bamboo forest for meditative refinement according to Gu Xiaoman’s instructions, and understood the mysteries of nature.

After noon, it was time for her to go to Hidden Mountain.

“I will accompany you,” said Lu Xun, after pondering for a moment.

He was also very curious about Ji Li’s journey to Hidden Mountain and what she would gain from it.

“Great! Ji Li thanks Little Uncle for the company!” She said cheerfully.

Even the smallest concern from Lu Xun made her feel immensely satisfied.

On the journey to Hidden Mountain, she asked, “Lu Xun, what kind of magical weapon do you hope I can retrieve?”

Lu Xun said, “Just follow your heart on the journey to Hidden Mountain.”

“But… my heart wants to retrieve whatever magical weapon you suggest,” she said softly, her head lowered.

After laughing gently, Lu Xun flicked her forehead, saying, “Your way of thinking is not right. However, I personally believe that if the conditions permit, grab a new sword. It’s about time you replace your Wedding Sword, it can no longer keep up with your cultivation base.”

The Wedding Sword, after all, is the lowest grade of the Inferior Yellow Martial.

“Okay!” Ji Li nodded vigorously, etching his words in her heart.

Seeing her like this, Lu Xun flicked her forehead again, reminding her, “I meant if the conditions permit, do not force things. You don’t want to end up with nothing.”

“I know, I’m not that stupid!” Ji Li said, covering her forehead, protesting his flick.

By the time the paper crane arrived at Hidden Mountain, the rest of the newly promoted Inner Sect Disciples had already arrived.

Yue Heshan was also there, hosting the event this time.

Seeing Lu Xun, everyone greeted him. Lu Xun nodded with a smile and then went to knock on the door of the small wooden house to ask Elder Gui to help open the prohibition of Hidden Mountain.

Elder Gui walked out slowly, leaning on his cane, a benevolent smile on his face.

He was fond of the sight of young people coming to ascend Hidden Mountain, full of youthful energy.

They were like the bright sun in the sky, making this somber treasure mountain seem a little lively and energetic.

Yue Heshan turned to Ji Li and said, “Junior Sister, you go first.”

It took Ji Li a while to realize that the “Junior Sister” Yue Heshan was referring to was her. She was not used to this form of address.

“Okay,” Ji Li stepped forward, glanced at Lu Xun. After he nodded, she began to move forward.

Elder Gui lifted his cane and lightly tapped the ground, lifting the prohibition at this place.

There was still fog lingering on Hidden Mountain, but Lu Xun was no longer the low-order cultivator he used to be. Standing here, he could already perceive everything on Hidden Mountain.

Of course, the condition was that the prohibition of Hidden Mountain was activated.

At this moment, as soon as the prohibition was lifted and Lin Chan stepped on the first step, a sudden change occurred on Hidden Mountain.

Lu Xun’s mouth twitched slightly as he glanced at the sword sheath in his hand, speechless.

The change on Hidden Mountain came from the Sword of the Ages at the top of the mountain, “The Sword Qi is Near”! It released a loud sword cry.

When the prohibition was in effect, Hidden Mountain was in a sealed state, inside and out. Now that the prohibition has been lifted, “The Sword Qi is Near” could sense everything happening outside.

Immediately, it sensed that its sheath was at the foot of the mountain… tightly held in the hand of that man.
