Chapter 13: Senior Sister Bai, Righteous!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

On the square.

Bai Lian finally spoke, “Junior Brother Jiang.”

The main character finally spoke. The surrounding crowd tiptoed and pricked up their ears, afraid that they would miss Bai Lian’s words.

Jiang Ning was as nervous as a drum.

Would he agree?

At the thought that Senior Sister Bai might refuse his unreasonable request, his hand that was holding the sword couldn’t help but tremble.

He was too impulsive!

Jiang Ning regretted it now.

If he had known earlier, he wouldn’t have mobilized so many people. Now that there were so many people watching, he couldn’t run away even if he wanted to.

He only hoped that if Senior Sister Bai accepted the battle, she would be gentler. Otherwise, if he lost too badly, he wouldn’t be able to look up to others for a long time.

Bai Lian continued, “I’m about to accompany Junior Sister Xiao to the Cultivation Pavilion to choose a suitable cultivation technique. I won’t be free for a while. Moreover…”

Jiang Ning nodded secretly. This was considered a tactful rejection.

Before Bai Lian could finish speaking, Xiao Jinse, who had been following beside her, stood up first.

She gently tugged at Bai Lian’s sleeve, her eyes filled with self-reproach. “Senior Sister, I think this senior brother also came with anticipation. How can we disappoint him just because of me? Since my matter isn’t really urgent, why don’t you…”

Xiao Jinse’s voice became softer and softer.

Because she realized that Bai Lian had turned around and was sizing her up with an ambiguous gaze.

At this moment, the timid and inferior Second Junior Sister immediately shrank back and stopped talking.

Was she trying to mutiny?

Bai Lian shouted in her heart.

She was clearly the closest senior sister. If this little girl didn’t follow her wishes, who would? Why was she speaking up for an outsider like Jiang Ning?

This was too much.

What a scam!

Sigh.

It was all this lousy system’s fault.

If she had the protagonist nurturing system in her hand and not the villain nurturing system, Bai Lian would definitely teach this disobedient second junior sister a lesson.

She didn’t even listen to her senior sister anymore. She was getting bold. If she knew what was good for her, she should be more self-aware and quickly stick her butt out to be punished!

Bai Lian decided not to lower herself to Xiao Jinse’s level for the time being. Her original intention was not to refuse Jiang Ning’s challenge.

“Junior Brother Jiang Ning, I see that your mental state is unstable. It’s better to wait until you adjust to your optimal state before we fight.”

[Mission completed. Mission reward: Connate Condensation Pill]

Huh?

Jiang Ning was stunned.

So that was what Senior Sister Bai meant!

After all, it was Senior Sister Bai. She could see through the cowardice in his heart at a glance. She was clearly giving him a chance to take advantage of the situation.

Jiang Ning’s heart warmed.

But only he understood that if he didn’t dare to attack at this time, it would be even more impossible for him to muster the courage to fight Senior Sister Bai later.

There were rumors that Senior Sister Bai had broken through to the Nascent Soul realm. He estimated that this was nonsense, but it was a fact that Senior Sister Bai had already condensed a Golden Core a year ago!

Golden Core versus Foundation Establishment?

Jiang Ning knew that there was no point in fighting, but he didn’t come here to defeat Senior Sister Bai. He only wanted to defeat his past self!

“Thank you for your kindness, Senior Sister Bai.”

Jiang Ning bowed with his sword.

When he straightened his back, his sword sheath moved!

Bai Lian curled her lips.

As the system showed, Jiang Ning was indeed as difficult to deal with. Fortunately, she had already made sufficient preparations.

The girl, Bai Lian, carried her sword and turned slightly to look at Yun Luo Peak.

“In that case, let’s do it this way. You and I are from the same sect after all. Let’s not go overboard.”

Jiang Ning nodded in confusion.

Bai Lian continued, “In this competition, I won’t use any spiritual power. I’ll only use this Stainless Sword!”

“This…”

“We’ll use this to decide the winner!”

“…”

Bai Lian turned around and a rare smile appeared on her face. “Junior Brother Jiang, what do you think of this suggestion?”

Jiang Ning’s Adam’s apple bobbed.

He looked at that smile, which was like a warm spring breeze.

In order to leave him some face and not lose so badly, Senior Sister Bai set new competition rules and almost gave up all her advantages!

What else could he say?

He couldn’t refuse Senior Sister Bai’s good intentions at all!

“Then just as Senior Sister Bai said, I don’t use any spiritual power or spells either, but just this jade sword.” Jiang Ning’s voice was hoarse.

The smarter people in the crowd also “understood” Bai Lian’s thoughts.

“Good-quality idol!”

“I’m willing to choose Senior Sister Bai as the next sect master of the Immortal Du Sect!”

“Senior Sister Bai, you’re so righteous!”

Stars began to appear in Tong Yao’s eyes. “As expected of the perfect Senior Sister Bai I admire the most!”

Cough, cough.

Bai Lian’s face darkened.

Very good, this was the outcome she wanted.

Everyone thought that she had given up her strength. In fact, this kind of competition happened to be her advantage.

Her speed was not slow at all among her peers. After swallowing the Gray Flame Grass, her lightness skill increased to 126 points in an instant. In addition to the 35 lightness skill provided by the Flowing Cloud Boots, she was very likely the fastest woman in the Immortal Du Sect among her peers!

In a battle where the outcome of the battle was determined in one move, if she still couldn’t defeat Jiang Ning quickly, she might as well delete her account.

What a freaking genius!

“Junior Brother Jiang, follow me!”

Bai Lian held Xiao Jinse’s hand and flew to the foot of Yun Luo Mountain.

She turned around and said to her second junior sister standing by the stream, “Junior Sister, stay here and don’t walk around casually. I’ll be back soon.”

“Yes.”

Xiao Jinse lowered her head in embarrassment.

She was really stupid. Her sudden interruption just now almost distorted Senior Sister Bai’s original intention.

Even so, Senior Sister Bai didn’t punish her. Xiao Jinse felt very apologetic and wanted to apologize.

At this moment…

At this moment, on the stream…

There was a person standing on both sides of the cliff.

On the left was Jiang Ning. The future jade sword swordsman closed his eyes and held his sword. He felt a breeze and quickly adjusted his mentality.

On the right was Bai Lian. The fake natural saint gently touched the blade of the Stainless Sword. From afar, she seemed to want to become one with the sword.

No one knew that Bai Lian was thinking about whether to “run away”. In the end, she gave up this disgraceful plan.

Many Immortal Du Sect disciples who had come to watch the show stood scattered in the other empty spaces. The outcome of the battle would be decided in a breath. They widened their eyes, afraid that they would miss the details of the battle.

“Speaking of which, Senior Sister Bai hasn’t made a move in more than a year.”

“Yeah.”

“I hate that my penmanship isn’t enough to draw Senior Sister Bai’s elegance!”

Suddenly, a water pillar hundreds of feet tall spewed out of the stream below.

Jiang Ning suddenly opened her eyes. According to the agreement, this was the signal for the competition to begin.

Water droplets hit him in the face. He quickly pulled out his beloved sword from the sheath. A cold light shot out, and the surging airflow cut the water pillar into pieces.

“Huh?”

Jiang Ning was stunned for a moment.

Before he pulled out his sword, he even saw Senior Sister Bai standing on the cliff opposite perfectly fine, but when he pulled out his sword, Senior Sister Bai had already disappeared.

How could the other party be so fast?

Jiang Ning was very confident in his sword speed. He had practiced this simple sword draw for ten years.

But today…

From above!

Jiang Ning gritted her teeth and looked up, but what entered her eyes was a lifeless round sun behind the fog.

If not, she was probably coming from below!

Jiang Ning finally reacted, but he knew that it was too late.

A sword light appeared in his eyes, like a fireball. Behind it, Senior Sister Bai was like a dragon.

Jiang Ning only had time to place his sword in front of him.

He didn’t see anything clearly. When he returned to his senses, the cold tip of the Stainless Sword had already retreated from his neck.

The Jade Sword Knight smiled bitterly.

He recalled the poem: “Come like lightning to collect anger, stop like the clear light of the sea.”

Clang.

The sword in Jiang Ning’s hand slid to the ground.

“I lost.”

Cheers immediately came from below. Everyone was celebrating Bai Lian’s victory, but Jiang Ning didn’t find it ear-piercing. Sword skills were the ability he was most proud of, but in this aspect, he had also lost to Senior Sister Bai without any surprise. What was there to hate?

Jiang Ning looked up and was surprised to find a white hand holding a sword.

Bai Lian said calmly, “It’s your sword!”

Jiang Ning hurriedly took it.

Bai Lian said, “How can a swordsman casually abandon his sword?”

Jiang Ning swallowed his saliva.

“Senior Sister Bai is right!”

Seeing that Bai Lian had turned around and walked away, he hurriedly asked, “Senior Sister Bai, why is your sword so fast and so ethereal?”

“?”

Obviously it was because she had cheated!

Bai Lian naturally didn’t dare to answer like this. She couldn’t think of any good reason for the time being until the image of an elegant man flashed across her mind. Then, she casually copied the other party’s line.

“Follow the gale!”

Follow the gale?

The gale.

The gale!

Jiang Ning’s eyes suddenly lit up.

Everything in the world had a spirit.

He saw it, saw the traces left behind by the wind, waves of rhythm. Those traces came from behind Bai Lian’s casual footsteps.

Jiang Ning couldn’t help but sigh. “I understand. So Senior Sister Bai has long reached the realm of becoming one with the sword!”

Hiss…

The surrounding crowd gasped.

Then, they spat out hot air again. However, since this was Senior Sister Bai, it was fine.

Jiang Ning seemed to have changed into a different person. The aura on his body had completely changed. He stood high and said in a clear voice, “Thank you for your guidance, Senior Sister Bai. I have a premonition that I will definitely be able to break through to the Golden Core realm in three months!”

As he spoke, he bowed deeply to show his gratitude.

As the future Gale Swordsman, he was ready to shoot for the stars.

“????”

Bai Lian, who jumped down the cliff, was filled with question marks.

Her feet slipped. If she hadn’t retracted it quickly enough, she might have fallen into the stream and gotten wet.

Golden Core?

No, damn it, she was still far from breaking through to the Golden Core realm. What exactly did Jiang Ning suddenly comprehend?

Beast, what exactly did you comprehend!

Bai Lian wanted to slam a table.

But she couldn’t. She had to tolerate it. As she listened to those compliments, she pulled Xiao Jinse and ran to the Cultivation Pavilion.

The most terrifying thing was that she clearly heard many people say that they had to muster their courage to challenge her.

“I’ve been stuck at the tenth level of Qi Refinement for a long time.”

“I also want to break through to the Golden Core realm.”

Tong Yao’s eyes continued to sparkle. “Should I go and spar with Senior Sister Bai too?”

She simply couldn’t stay in this lousy place anymore!
