Chapter 34: 034, [Enveloped in Sword Intent]

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

A middle-aged scholar in a white robe was ambling along a path paved with blue stones. His strides were short and he wasn’t in a hurry, frequently pausing along the way.

He would stop and smell the flowers being sold on the roadside, buy some fresh new food to taste, and even watch people playing chess. However, he would often be chased away for not adhering to the rule of silence for spectators.

A brawny, tanned man followed him, not daring to disturb the gentleman’s leisurely stroll.

Mao Nanbei was right, the gentleman had come down from the mountain just to play.

The reason he refused to return was simple – he hadn’t had enough fun yet.

As for his newly accepted disciple…compared to traveling and sightseeing, this was a minor affair.

“Sir,” the brawny man reached his side and spoke softly.

“What’s the matter?” the gentleman asked.

“I don’t understand why you set such a rule for accepting disciples,” was the tanned man’s response, referring to the cliff-jumping stipulation.

“It was merely a spur-of-the-moment thought when I was on Lead Peak,” the gentleman dismissed it casually with a wave of his hand.

However, the brawny man knew that, when the gentleman took on such a demeanor, it was likely he was hiding something. Having followed the gentleman for many years, he knew him well. The tanned man felt that there must be a profound reason behind the seemingly impossible condition that the gentleman didn’t want to reveal.

Yet he couldn’t figure out how his Little Junior Brother had managed to survive the cliff jump.

This aroused his curiosity.

Mao Nanbei once told Lu Xun that their Senior Brother loved to cook, but it tasted horrible.

She didn’t entirely tell the truth. Senior Brother’s cooking was bad because he liked to innovate, always trying out new recipes.

The third senior brother at the Small Study, adored exploring new things and loved research.

He might look like a farmer and was somewhat rough around the edges, but his

mind was full of a burning desire for knowledge and an array of random new ideas.

Therefore, the brawny man suddenly became very interested in Lu Xun.

He even thought about kidnapping his Little Junior Brother for a good round of analysis when they returned to the mountain.

At this thought, a warm, honest smile spread across his face.

At this moment, on the back hill of the Demon Sect.

Lu Xun had a nightmare.

He woke up with a start, sweating profusely.

“Huff! ”

The night breeze was gently caressing him. Fireflies were flying around outside his window, creating a harmonious and peaceful scene.

“Is it because I am under too much pressure recently?” Lu Xun rubbed his temples, contemplating.

But when he thought about it… he hadn’t been under any pressure recently!

He was eating well, sleeping well, everyone he met addressed him as an ancestor, life was great. Other than the slow rate of Experience Point gain, everything was pretty smooth, except for the trouble caused by Mao Nanbei’s incessant chatter.

After adjusting his mood and calming his heart, Lu Xun attempted to fall back asleep.

However, the nightmare resumed.

“How the hell can a dream have a sequel?!” Lu Xun woke up once again, panting heavily.

More accurately, it was like a merciless cycle of nightmares.

The moment he closed his eyes, a vague shadow would chase him until he was killed, and that’s when he would wake up.

The shadowy figure was blurry, Lu Xun couldn’t make it out.
