Junior sister, keep forbear for a while, I almost become invincible as soon!-Chapter 441 Just Relying on Senior Brother’s Handsomeness

Chapter 441: Chapter 441 Just Relying on Senior Brother’s Handsomeness

The man and the ox stared at each other for a long time.

The Sword Saint’s heart was in turmoil.

Livestock attaining the Saint Realm? What was this all about? Who did this?

Zhu Menting looked at him with a strange expression, then turned to the ox, mumbling to himself, It’s just an ox, what’s there to look at?

"My apologies." The Sword Saint collected himself, took a deep breath, and asked, "Is that ox yours?"

"No!" she answered.

Oh, oh, oh. Well, that was a relief. That was a relief.

If a little girl were leading a Saint Realm ox around, wouldn’t that be too frightening?

The Sword Saint’s tense nerves relaxed considerably.

But then, Guang Xiaoyu added, "It’s my senior brother’s."

The Sword Saint was shocked. "Who is your senior brother?"

To raise a Saint Realm creature as livestock, surely her senior brother must be a Quasi-Emperor Realm powerhouse, right?

"Chen Pingping!" she said, tilting her head.

The Sword Saint: "..."

He remembered now. The Great Elder had mentioned this person before: Chen Pingping of the Wuji Sect. He was the one who, overnight, had poached over a hundred young talents from Fairy Valley. The Great Elder had also said that two of Chen Pingping’s junior sisters had joined Fairy Valley’s Fifth Court. One was named Guang Xiaoyu, and the other was Zi Ji. So that was how it was.

At that moment, Zhu Menting couldn’t help but ask, "Is your senior brother very impressive? Why do you look so proud every time you mention him?"

"Not impressive..." Guang Xiaoyu shook her head. "My senior brother has mediocre talent, lacks comprehension, and is of a low realm. Apart from being handsome, he hardly has any strengths."

That was actually the truth. If it weren’t for the system, Chen Pingping would probably be farming by now. But even with the system, and hundreds upon hundreds of years of cultivation bestowed upon him, his improvement was slower than anyone else’s. There were two reasons for this. First, his talent truly wasn’t up to par. Second, the cultivation provided by the system was meant to improve all aspects, such as the Dantian, physique, meridians, Zhou Tian, Sea of Consciousness, and so on.

"Then I’m relieved," Zhu Menting said.

"What did you say?" Guang Xiaoyu stared at him intently.

"Nothing." He smiled faintly, thinking to himself, Mediocre talent, lacking comprehension, and a low realm. With such a senior brother, it seems this sect isn’t much to speak of.

The only thing he was wary of was the man before him.

Could it be that this is Guang Xiaoyu’s calamity?

The Sword Saint turned his head. "Can you step outside?"

Alas! Zhu Menting actually wanted to stay and see what this person before him was going to do. But... this guy is so powerful! What if he decides to attack me? Forget it!

He took a few steps back and exited, but he didn’t go far.

The Sword Saint wasn’t very concerned, because he had only one objective: Guang Xiaoyu.

From the moment she stepped into the town until now, the Sword Saint had noticed her. This little demon cultivator was different from ordinary demon cultivators. She didn’t possess that hostile aura, nor did she exhibit the typical characteristics of a demon cultivator. Her eyes were clear, and she wasn’t bloodthirsty or fond of killing.

At that moment, I wondered, is this little girl like me? Is she also Cultivating Demon? I observed her for many days, my curiosity growing. It was only when the signs of Fairy Valley’s calamity appeared that I came here. Even though my own Cultivating Demon failed, I’m not resigned. If Guang Xiaoyu’s path is similar to mine, I will impart all my life’s knowledge to her. That ox... it’s just a Saint Realm creature, not a demon cultivator; it naturally cannot teach Guang Xiaoyu cultivation. Throughout the world, perhaps only I am qualified to do so?

The Sword Saint smiled and said, "Since you already have a sect, why did you join Fairy Valley’s Fifth Court?"

"For your Cultivating Demon, Senior," Guang Xiaoyu said frankly. "I am a demon cultivator, but I don’t want to leave the Human Clan’s domain, so I sought out Fairy Valley."

"Unfortunately, I failed, didn’t I?" The Sword Saint recalled her earlier reaction.

"Yes!"

"Although I failed, I still have some experience to share. Would you like to hear it?"

"I would."

"What if I asked you to take me as your master?" The Sword Saint looked at her.

"Then I wouldn’t want to," Guang Xiaoyu shook her head.

Huh? The Sword Saint was stunned. "Do you know who I am?"

"You are the current head of Fairy Valley’s Fifth Court, the next successor to the Sect Master of Fairy Valley, the Sword Saint. You once single-handedly held off several Demon Kings and hundreds of thousands from the Demon Race’s armies." Guang Xiaoyu spoke calmly and confidently. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

She showed no shock or admiration for the man before her, despite him being the Sword Saint. There wasn’t even a trace of reverence in her clear eyes. It was as if, in her eyes, the Sword Saint was just an ordinary person.

The Sword Saint was frustrated. At least half of the young people in the Southern Diaspora wanted to become his disciples. However, he had been busy with his Cultivating Demon and seclusion over the years, so he naturally lacked the inclination to take on disciples. Bai Yisheng was the only one; he could be considered very fortunate.

So, this girl before me has this opportunity, yet she refused it outright. Why? The Sword Saint was utterly baffled.

He glanced at the old yellow ox for the third time and said, Could it be that this girl’s master is even more formidable than I am?

Guang Xiaoyu shook her head. "My master never teaches me cultivation. Senior, you should be well aware that I am a demon cultivator, yet I live within the Human Clan’s domain."

Her words startled the Sword Saint.

A demon cultivator, living peacefully within the Human Clan’s domain. This is highly unusual. Moreover, according to her, no one in her sect can guide her cultivation.

"Is your master very powerful?" the Sword Saint inquired.

"Not powerful."

"Is your sect very formidable?"

"Not formidable!"

"..."

The conversation couldn’t continue. Her master wasn’t strong, and her sect wasn’t formidable. No one in the entire sect could teach her cultivation.

So why did she refuse me?

The Sword Saint asked again, "Why do you reject me? Isn’t it good to take a powerful Saint Realm expert as your master? I can instruct you in cultivation and also ensure your safety."

"But..."

"But what?"

"You’re not as handsome as my senior brother." She seemed to have found a reason and suddenly laughed.

The Sword Saint was stunned as well.

In these few minutes of conversation, I considered several possibilities. One, it’s because my Cultivating Demon failed. Two, she might have guessed Fairy Valley’s future. Three, perhaps she doesn’t want to remain in the Human Clan’s domain in the future. But he had never imagined that Guang Xiaoyu’s reason for rejecting him would be so... exasperating.

Her senior brother was handsome.

The Sword Saint also laughed. "Don’t you want to do something meaningful?"

"I do!" she replied.

"But you rejected me without hesitation."

"Senior, I am aware of the importance you attach to Cultivating Demon and your intention to mitigate the strife between demon cultivators and the Human Clan. However, I find conquering my senior brother to be more meaningful." As she spoke, she suddenly grew excited.

"..."

The Sword Saint’s face darkened. "Cultivating Demon and conquering your senior brother are not contradictory at all!"

"Then?" Guang Xiaoyu glanced sideways. "Does instructing me in Cultivating Demon conflict with taking you as my master?"

This? Indeed! Does instructing her in Cultivating Demon conflict with her taking me as master? It doesn’t. But what I want to pass on is far more than just Cultivating Demon. There’s also the meaning behind it, which pertains to the future of the entire Human Clan and the demon cultivators of the Western Wilderness.

"I can’t argue with you." The Sword Saint shook his head, inwardly wanting to cough up blood.

"If you try a little harder, perhaps you’ll succeed," she remarked casually.

CRACK! The Sword Saint felt a little broken. Thankfully, Zhu Menting wasn’t here.

"How about this!" The Sword Saint seemed to have an idea and said with a smile, "Let’s make a bet."

"What bet?" Her eyes twinkled.

"Your senior brother Chen Pingping has caused a huge disaster. Soon, powerful enemies will come for him. I’ll make a bet with you on this..." The Sword Saint looked at her. "Let’s bet whether your senior brother can turn danger into safety."

"I bet he can," she smiled.

"I bet he can’t," the Sword Saint declared. "But rest assured, when the critical moment comes, I will inevitably intervene. However, if I do, it will mean you’ve lost the bet. You’ll then have to take me as your master and follow me in Cultivating Demon."

"Alright. If you lose, please don’t pressure me, but you still have to teach me Cultivating Demon."

"It’s a deal." The Sword Saint exhaled. "By the way, why did you laugh just now?"

"I laughed because my scheme succeeded."

"???"

Scheme? Succeeded? With the Wuji Sect? With that senior brother who’s merely at the Imperial Dao Realm, possessing mediocre talent, lacking comprehension, and nothing to him beyond his looks? How? I don’t believe it...

The Sword Saint smiled faintly. "Time to watch the show!"
