Chapter 356: 356, [The Unsearchable Person in the Game]

In the bamboo grove behind the Demon Sect’s mountain.

Lu Xun finally heard from his master about that man, the man whom he should address as his martial uncle according to seniority.

Of course, if the man was still alive, perhaps… he might prefer to be called martial elder brother?

After all, it was uncertain who among the master and this fraternal twin was the first to emerge from their mother’s womb, not even they themselves knew.

But they seemed to care a lot about this detail.

Lu Xun glanced at his master and then at the “Partridge Sky” floating in the air, and asked, “So, this is my martial… martial uncle’s sword?”

The master nodded, appearing satisfied with Lu Xun’s address of him as a martial uncle.

However, after nodding, he added, “Indeed, it is his sword, but he actually didn’t know how to wield a sword.”

Lu Xun chewed over these words, finding them rather strange.

What did he mean by ‘it’s his sword, but he doesn’t know how to wield a sword’?

Could it be that this once incredibly powerful “Partridge Sky” was merely an ornament?

After all, many worldly sons of nobility would carry longswords as decorations, believing it gave them an air of elegance and suaveness.

But could they practice martial arts?

Definitely not.

This phenomenon was most prevalent in West State, renowned for its flourishing Sword Dao. Many people held longswords just for the sake of appearance.

But to use a Purple Martial sword as an ornament, especially when it could be considered on par with a Divine Sword, wouldn’t that be too exaggerated?

The master gave Lu Xun a glance and said calmly, “It’s not what you think, he’s just somewhat foolish in many respects.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Xun roughly understood.

Who could comprehend what the master meant when he said ‘didn’t know how to wield a sword’?

For example, Lu Xun at present, in his master’s eyes, could he be considered a swordsman?

It should be noted that even Elder Gui’s perfect mastery of the Sword Drawing Technique and Sting, in the master’s words, were only deemed satisfactory.

He had become smarter now, knowing that he needed to analyze the meaning behind an expert’s words.

Besides, hidden within “Partridge Sky” was a Sword Technique – the Sword of the Absolute World Hegemon: the Broken Sword Technique!

If that man didn’t know the first thing about swords, how could that be possible?

That simply made no sense.

As to whether his perceptions were correct, he was uncertain, but that was his belief nonetheless.

Regarding this legendary junior brother, the master clearly didn’t want to talk more.

After finishing this conversation, he said, “I’m a bit fatigued, shouldn’t gather here and interrupt Xiao Man’s cultivation, you should all head back.”

With that, he walked alone towards the small study on the mountaintop.

Upon reaching the peak, he looked up at the sky with his hands behind his back, seemingly lost in thought.

…

…

After the master had left, Lu Xun passed the green pearl to the Sword Sheath.

The black cord on the Sword sheath, as if it were hands, took the green pearl and with a pop, stowed it away.

“Feeling energized?” Lu Xun asked Lin Chan.

Lin Chan nodded, indicating that some of her energy had been restored and that she could walk back to the mountain on her own.

Ji Li, looking at this scene from the side, wished that one day Lu Xun would ask her the same question.

If it was her, she would definitely say she was out of energy.

Lin Chan stood up, and with a wave of her small hand, the “Partridge Sky” hovering in the air returned to her hand.

She looked down at the drastically altered Broken Sword, a bright smile spread across her face. After bowing in thanks to Lu Xun, she said in her heart, “Thank you, master.”

Lu Xun, with a smile, tousled her hair and said, “Go back and recuperate, after your spiritual power has recovered, you can spar with Ji Li, get used to the changes of the ‘Partridge Sky’.”

Lin Chan obediently nodded, everyone saluted their second senior sister, then left the bamboo grove.

On the way back, Lu Xun asked his third senior brother, Zhuge Lai Fu, “Third senior brother, do you know anything about our martial uncle?”

He was genuinely curious.

Mao Nanbei, perched on his shoulder, gently raised a paw, and lightly tapped Lu Xun’s shoulder, meowing a few times in protest.

“Why don’t you ask me?” That seemed to be what she meant.

“Alright, alright. Fourth senior sister, do you know anything?” Lu Xun asked with a smile.

Mao Nanbei shook her head, then pointed at the third senior brother, implying that she didn’t know, suggesting that he should speak.

Lu Xun: “…”

Turns out you just wanted to draw attention and assert your status as a senior sister.
