All The Female Disciples Want To Kill Me-Chapter 732 - 396: Senior Sister, are you in such a hurry to find Master because you want to sleep with him?_2

"..."

Sword Maiden blinked, having caught the hint in Xiao Ruoching's words, and looked at her curiously. "So, Senior Sister, are you in such a hurry to find Master because you want to sleep with him?"

A blush instantly crept up Xiao Ruoching's cheeks. Although this was indeed her true innermost desire, Sword Maiden's blunt words left her feeling rather embarrassed.

"That... Sword Maiden, you're still young; you don't understand. And I have *never* slept with Master!"

Sword Maiden pursed her lips into a knowing smile before speaking again. "Yes, I'm only a little over three hundred years old. Still young indeed."

"Then, does Master intend to sleep with Senior Sister?"

At that, Li Zijun's brush-wielding hand froze mid-stroke. Her ears perked up, though she outwardly maintained an appearance of deep thought.

Xiao Ruoching's lips parted slightly as she struggled for an answer. Thinking about the way that man looked at her, she pondered for a moment, then a confident smile blossomed on her face.

He should! "But..." As she continued, her tone became somewhat disheartened. Compared to romantic love, he seems to care about me more in a different way... um, not the kind of caring between a man and a woman...

Oh, what am I even saying! Xiao Ruoching vigorously shook her head, coughed, and then looked at the other two in the room. "I'm going to Xia Shui Pass to demand an explanation from Mo Li right now! Are you coming with me?"

"..."

Li Zijun snapped back to reality, staring at the absurd turtle she had unwittingly drawn on the Xuan paper. She glanced up at Xiao Ruoching. She really didn't want to strain her relationship with Mo Li.

Shaking her head and coughing lightly, she whispered, "Senior Sister, why don't you and Sword Maiden go? I'll wait for you here."

"When you see Sister Li, please try not to argue. After all, this is all for Master's sake..."

Sword Maiden had already packed her Sword Scabbard and slung it onto her back again, her gaze shifting between the two women.

Hearing Li Zijun's hesitant reply, Xiao Ruoching furrowed her brows, pouted, and said slowly, "It's all for Master?"

"Pah! That wretch only has herself in her heart!"

"If she truly cared about Master, she wouldn't have kidnapped someone in the middle of the night!"

"..."

Seeing Li Zijun remain silent, Xiao Ruoching rolled her eyes. She then cleared her throat and changed her tack, trying to persuade her. "AHEM. Zi Jun, Xia Shui Pass is not a small city like Dao City."

"The Prince Who Pacifies the North has stationed heavy troops there, which shows how important that location is. I'm not asking you to fight with Mo Li or to pick sides. After all, we're going there to find Master, right?"

"Besides, Xia Shui Pass has many teahouses and theaters, not to mention pleasure cruises with lanterns. It's also very close to Jinzu Court, one of the Four Sacred Grounds of Buddhism, so there are plenty of cultivators there. It's rare for us to get out; wouldn't it be dull to stay cooped up inside?" 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"I'll take you to tour Jinzu Court... Didn't you say you wanted to buy some scriptures on Superior Dharma to study? I'll buy them for you..."

Li Zijun put down her brush and stared directly at Xiao Ruoching.

Xiao Ruoching met her gaze unflinchingly, her expression calm and unwavering.

"Senior Sister, why are you suddenly being so good to me?"

Li Zijun sounded curious. Logically, knowing Xiao Ruoching's personality, if she had news of Su Bei, she would want to find him alone. That way, if she fought Mo Li and won, she could have Master all to herself.

Xiao Ruoching gave an awkward laugh but didn't answer.

Realizing she wouldn't get a straight answer from Xiao Ruoching then, Li Zijun stood up and began to pack her belongings. "Senior Sister, let's set off then."

"Let's visit Jinzu Court."

「Jinzu Court.」

After Su Bei had wandered around with Mo Li for a long time, the sun was high overhead, nearing noon. They finally reached the innermost part of Jinzu Court.

Su Bei entered the gates of Jinzu Court as Mo Li's attendant. Ordinarily, for a guest of Mo Li's status, the Buddha Gate would assign an elder to personally accompany them. However, Mo Li, wanting to enjoy some private time with Su Bei, had politely declined. She also instructed the Buddha Gate disciples not to make a fuss, as they merely wished to stroll around.

As they walked deeper into the Buddha Gate's Jinzu Court, the clamor from outside faded, replaced by a profound tranquility. Everywhere they looked, they saw ancient relics. Even a single tree might be over a thousand years old, causing Su Bei to marvel at the profound history of this ancient temple.

My own No-Sword Peak once had such an ethereal atmosphere, Su Bei mused. Too bad I later cut down all the trees to raise pigs.

Passing a library open to guests, Su Bei curiously stepped inside. The outermost shelves were filled with all sorts of popular fiction. According to the elder in charge, the Buddha Gate's Superior Dharma scriptures didn't sell well; apart from those keen on studying them, there was virtually no demand. The elder had explained that rather than leaving the shelves empty, they thought it better to keep up with the times and stock items that might attract some interest...

Su Bei breathed, "Impressive."

Beyond various inspirational stories about Cultivators, there were all sorts of romantic adventure tales featuring immortals, such as *Sword Immortal Su Bei and His Immortal Pig: The Undeniable Entanglements* and *Flames Forge a Peerless Female Swordsman: The Autobiography of Xiao Ruoching,* among others. These weren't just standalone books; even the series *Female Warrior, Hold On* was already out with its sixth volume.

Su Bei's expression was a little strange. He cleared his throat and looked around, hoping to find a young monk to ask for directions.

Just then, a young monk came into Su Bei's view. He had sharp, sword-like eyebrows and star-bright eyes, with clear, fair skin. A closer look revealed a hint of androgynous beauty, yet there was no trace of effeminacy in his demeanor. Dressed in simple monk's robes, he possessed an indescribable, refined charm. A sudden autumn breeze rustled past, lifting the hem of his robes and adding to his transcendent air.

Su Bei and Mo Li exchanged a glance. Neither could discern the young monk's cultivation level. Curious, Su Bei stepped forward to inquire, "Young Master Monk, could you perhaps enlighten us? My wife and I are looking for the scriptures on Superior Dharma."

"..."

The young monk glanced at Su Bei, a brow slightly arched, and then said, "This benefactor, you seem rather familiar."

"If you, Benefactor, revere the Buddha and the Buddhist Law, and do not find my understanding of it too shallow, perhaps you would be willing to listen to this humble monk share a few words on the Buddhist Law with you both."

"..."

Su Bei found this monk intriguing. His eyes narrowed slightly as he nodded. "Then we shall trouble you, Young Master Monk."

The young monk, smiling, led them to a spot beneath a pine tree where they all sat down. Snowflakes drifted from the pine needles above, yet not a single one touched his robes. Sitting opposite Su Bei and Mo Li, he studied Su Bei's face intently before suddenly speaking.

"Observing your aura, Benefactor, it is clear that the air of death has long permeated your entire being. Yet, your spiritual altar is magnificent, your Sword Intent is supreme, and your Sword Qi abundant. Such mastery of the Sword Dao is something this humble monk has rarely witnessed."

"Benefactor, you should not be alive..."

Mo Li's expression instantly darkened. She shot to her feet, her hand reaching for her sword hilt.

Su Bei reached out to stop her, pushing her sword back into its scabbard. He then patted her hand reassuringly and looked at the young monk. "Young Master Monk, you are rather interesting. As you can see, I am not carrying a sword."

"As for this 'not being alive' part, perhaps you could elaborate for me, Young Master Monk?"

"..."

The young monk observed Mo Li's actions but merely smiled, unperturbed. His expression unchanged, he continued, "All Sword Dao in the world originates from the Sword Sect. This humble monk is not surprised to see that you, Immortal, cultivate the Sword Sect's Sword Scripture."

"It is said that the Sword Sect has a woman who embodies the sword in body, bone, and heart—the Sword Trinity itself—and is known to the world as the Sword Shura. Yet, compared to you, Benefactor, she is still somewhat lacking."

"Though you carry no sword, Benefactor, your very skin and flesh are a sword, your ten fingers are swords, your limbs are swords—your entire being is a sword."

"It should have been so. However, you have now reached consummation, concealing swords everywhere. There is a sword hidden in your throat, swords in your eyes, swords in your ears; even your very pores emanate Sword Qi. You must have cultivated the Sword Scripture to the stage of Great Perfection. How could this not be called mastery of the Sword Dao?"

"This humble monk is puzzled. Apart from Shangguan Wendao, which other hidden master of the Underworld Sword Sect could you possibly be, Benefactor?"
