Chapter 10: Aspire Invocations Intricate Recite
When Yi Ping opened his eyes with a sudden jerk, he had just broken into a cold sweat! He seeht hiet how his mother Shui Yichi had died yet he must live in constant denial
He dreaded to lie, but he had lied to Shui Yixian Even though he was honest about his mother maiden name to Shui Yixian, he had lied to her that she had passed away shortly after giving birth to him It was because he still had to search for the people that had harmed his parents
Even though he was a five-year-old boy back then, he could re, and his mother maiden name was Shui Yichi His father had a sworn brother, and it was this sworn brother that had betrayed his father and harmed his mother
He did not know that his mother was from the Eternal Ice Palace, therefore, when Shui Yixian questioned him about it, he told her a half-truth That was before he knew that his é sister
No wonder he found himself drawn irresistible to Shui Yixian, she indeed had many similarities to his mother…
Before he could confess to her on the truth, Shui Yixian had passed away…
Yi Ping thought, “Am I destined to lead a lonesome life?”
An alluring voice was heard calling out to hiht that you have died Your pulses are so weak; I am so sorry…”
He had not heard her apologies for he was still in a daze When he saas Ji Lingfeng, he stared at her and turned as white as a sheet He was instantly panicky and got the fright of his life as he tried to flee from her!
Seeing her again orse than the terrible nightmare that he just had!
Ji Lingfeng called her to him, bemused by his actions “Why are so afraid of me? Do you really think I will eat you up? What aotten that it is you that want to pay that old freak a visit in the first place?”
After Yi Ping had heard her, he began to turn back He asked hesitating, “Are we really reaching?” He was really afraid of her
Ji Lingfeng laughed softly, “Of course, it is just down this path Quickly, follow me!”
Yi Ping sighed and walked staggeringly behind her, “If I know that this trip will be so difficult and nearly cost ree to come Even before I can find the martial master, I would probably die in her hands first…”
This tientle stroll When she saw that he was struggling to walk even, she immediately took him by his arm to support him
All of a sudden, Yi Ping felt she was not that bad after all
They were noalking very close Both Yi Ping and Ji Lingfeng averted their eyes and were aard
There was a few ti but they could not find the courage to say a word It was as though they were afraid of disturbing the tranquil air between them
Soon after, Yi Ping saw a small broken down hut He was astonished that so here in this desolate forested valley
Ji Lingfeng so in” The way she had said it, was like it was none of her concern and that she was only a speculator waiting to see ould going to happen next
But before Yi Ping could walk into the hut, a voice was heard saying, “Young lass, you are back so fast? You didn’t forget rant of the Baht soers You can ask him to leave!”
Ji Lingfeng laughed gently, “I a you the Ba man did If you don’t want to see him, he can simply leave”
An old man with a cane opened the door of the hut He had a cane with hi
The oldhim here for?”
Ji Lingfeng replied, “He would like to learn superior martial arts from you”
The oldfrom head to toe as he said, “He looks like he is almost dead, and he still wants to learn martial arts from me? Anyway, I won’t accept any disciples He can leave iers anything”
Ji Lingfeng said, “Oh? Did you not teach o? Aer?”
The oldfro You are just lucky that I have a craving for good wines that day”
Ji Lingfeng said coolly, “Do you know that in order to find you, he has run throughout the night, searching hills by hills for you? Does this not prove his sincerity and willingness to shoulder hardshi+p?”
Yi Ping was touched that she had actually stepped in to persuade the oldfor the impossible and that this would likely be a futile trip He was just trying his luck
In the fraternity, the martial masters would never reveal their martial secrets easily Even if they would want to find a successor, it was likely to be so That was so in order to reduce the odds of their skills fro hands
Yi Ping was expecting a reclusive ht of this old man disappointed him But nevertheless, he truly believed that this oldhis martial advancement
So he respectfully said, “Old Senior I, Yi Ping, pay my respects to you I have the wish to meet a worthy master…”
The old ed “What is your naain?”
Yi Ping replied weakly “Yi Ping”
The oldcarefully and when he saw the White Phoenix Eot hold of the White Phoenix Emerald precious sword that was once used by Shui Yichi? He remembered very vividly that this sword had been passed to Shui Yixian…
He asked, “Who your mother?”
Yi Ping was puzzled that this old man had suddenly asked of his mother He asked, “Why did you ask me that?”
The old ain, “Your mother, where is she?”
Yi Ping could feel the strong grip of the old man that was upon him He could not breathe and his face had turned purple But he refused to say anything It was because this oldfor!
Ji Lingfeng was panicky as she attacked the old man with her pal?”
In three successive attacks, she had forced the oldas he took a few steps backward
In her panicky state, she had just used the ‘Moonlight Cut’ stroke of the Sacred Heart Skill The Sacred Heart Skill were her real skills Unless she had no other choice, she did not want to use it She tried to hit the old freak on his shoulder and face at the same time, followed by another attack but he had evaded it all!
Yi Ping fell onto his knees weakly
Ji Lingfeng was besides Yi Ping in an instant as she voiced her concern for hi, I will teach you!”
Yi Ping was too weak even to reply her His vision had gone blurry He felt really unlucky today Three tile day, he had almost died The first time was by Gu Tianle, the second time it was by Maiden Ji and the third time was by this crippled old man
The old , “Surrender hily I don’t want to lay my hands on you”
Ji Lingfeng replied coolly, “Funny! You did not want hi for him now?
The old ed é!”
Ji Lingfeng stepped in front of the fallen Yi Ping regally as she displayed a defensive posture as she answered icily, “What if I a to allow this to happen?”
The old man raised his cane and said, “Then I will surely teach you a lesson that you will never be able to forget”
Ji Lingfeng said coldly, “A martial master like you will raise your hands on an unarmed junior and a weaker sex? It is indeed very laudable Why don’t you tell me your name so that I can tell everyone in the fraternity what you have done?”
The old ht, there are no senior or junior, nor hters Only survivalWhat do I care for the honor of the martial fraternity?”
Ji Lingfeng hu strikes This old h he was an experienced opponent, she ht not lose to him with her superior swiftness skill and with some luck
The old man added, “And you are definitely not unarmed From your top to bottom, there are at least three hundred secret projectiles that you can use Others may be fooled by your deceptive outlook but not me”
Ji Lingfeng was stunned that he could see through her This would ? Therefore she replied calmly, “You think too much I have no secret projectiles”
The old man said coolly, “Is that so? What about the dozens of needles in your straw hat? What about the crystal wrist beads in your wrists? What about the poisonous polish in your ser nail on your left? What about the three hairpins on your head and the dozens of secret projectiles underneath your outer garment?
Ji Lingfeng could not hide her startled expression as she took a step backward This old man had extremely sharp eyes
The old man said, “If I still fail to see that you are fro the Sacred Heart Skill, then I am surely blind The Holy Hex Sect is famed for its poisonous secret projectiles and techniques, especially the ‘Consecrated Meteor Shower’ technique and the Meteor Rain needles”
Yi Ping was startled that Ji Lingfeng had sosecret projectiles, seeing it as an underhand ht
No wonder she was intentional hiding her ins It was because the Holy Hex Sect was an unorthodox heretic sect and in recent years was at odds with the general orthodox fraternity!
In his dizzying state, he muttered, “How vicious!”
Ji Lingfeng lifted her right foot backward and kicked Yi Ping She exclaimed in displeasure, “Shut up My secret projectiles may well save very your life”
Even though the kick was not hard, in Yi Ping current condition, it waswas heardbefore he was knocked out, “Why… did… you… kick… me… for…”
Ji Lingfeng said coolly, “Serves you right! Whose side do you think you are on?!”
The old rily, “Why did you hit him for?”
Ji Lingfeng said, “Because he is rude!”
The old ht!”
Ji Lingfeng said coldly, “Hht, you have the right?”
The old ht I am his father!”
Ji Lingfeng said coldly, “If you are his father, I aain and kicked Yi Ping, not once but twice “See!”
All of a sudden, the oldher to soainst his cane
Just as she was about to attack him with her Meteor Rain Needles, the oldhis pulse, “The Icy Heavenly Tears energy pulses! Yichi must have imparted to him the Icy Heavenly Tears! He is really my son!”
The old , “Son, who cause you to be in this dire straits? Who is that heartless fellow?!”
Ji Lingfeng gasped in shock, “You are really his father?”
The old man said, “I am! Tell me, who is the heartless fellow that had injured him and caused him to be in such a bad shape?”
Ji Lingfeng said sheepishly, “Err…it is Jue Yuan We are no match for his Triple Merciless Palht”
The old o, I have actually spared his life I should have ended his life long ago His Triple Merciless Pal the top skills in the fraternity”
But he was secretly thinking, “You really think I a hills by hills forpursued”
Ji Lingfeng tried to distract hiht?”
The oldto hold you accountable too” The oldon his back and had walked into the hut
Ji Lingfeng protested, “What has it got to do with me?”
The old man turned and said sternly, “Because you just claiiven him three kicks!”
Ji Lingfeng sighed deeply as she said, “Those kicks are not even real kicks at all…” But because she was concerned for Yi Ping, she followed the old man into the hut
When Yi Ping opened his eyes again, he saw the old ht?”
