Chapter 803: Chapter 97 The Academy Discusses Tao, Merely a Common Man! _2

"Did you all grow up together from a young age?"

The young girl smiled and replied, "No."

"But we did indeed play together when we were quite young."

The girl continued, "Why did you say that just now?"

Little Shitou earnestly said, "Because Li Taoist was very poor!" He recalled and then solemnly said again, "He was really, really poor!"

The girl couldn’t help but laugh, but Shi Yisong pondered for a long time, reminisced for a while, and said, "But even though he was this poor, he ate only pancakes every day, had to eat our scallions, ate the scallion whites himself, and gave the older scallion greens to me. He wore a faded blue Taoist robe, yet he still had a jade pendant on his waist."

"Yes, he cherished that jade pendant very much."

"Such a grown-up person, with nothing else valuable on him but that jade pendant."

"Yet he’d rather eat just pancakes and scallions every day to protect it."

"I wonder who gifted it to him?"

This ten-year-old child spoke these musings very earnestly, but when he looked up, he saw the composed and remarkably skilled young lady shopkeeper holding the wooden sword, with an expression on her face that a child couldn’t quite comprehend.

Shi Yisong reacted.

"Oh, oh, that jade pendant, did you give it to him?"

The young shopkeeper of the Xue Family smiled and said, "Yes."

"I only gave him this jade pendant, hoping that he could pawn it for money when needed, no need to keep it forever; it’s not something particularly special."

"What are you talking about!"

The child retorted, pointing at the wooden sword, loudly saying:

"I also really wanted that good sword just now, I know I definitely can’t get it. Even if I run business trips with Daddy for years, collecting a bunch of firewood for people, the saved money would go to household expenses."

"I wouldn’t buy such a good sword."

"But I wouldn’t exchange this wooden sword for it!"

"Because this was given to me by the Taoist, so the wooden sword is more important than a good sword I could never afford in my life!"

"To Li Taoist, that must be a very, very important thing, not because it’s valuable, but because just like this wooden sword is important to me because Li Taoist carved it down stroke by stroke, that thing is definitely very important to him."

"Because you gave it to him!"

The girl stood frozen.

Shi Yisong was stunned.

After thinking, he clenched his right hand into a fist and struck his palm heavily.

"Oh, oh, I understand now!"

He pointed at the young shopkeeper in front of him, loudly and straightforwardly saying:

"You like him!"

Perhaps because of the temple fair, or because he was watching a play at the temple fair, when Little Shitou said this, Shi Wu across from him felt his scalp tingle. First pestering that young Taoist to learn swordsmanship, and then saying such a thing to the manager of the Xue Family’s Trade Guild in the state.

A man who had done good deeds all his life felt if he was unlucky.

His own child spoke carelessly, and Shi Yisong was dragged to apologize by his father, but the little guy didn’t hear the gentle lady shopkeeper speaking. Curious, he looked up and stole a glance.

And then he saw the beautiful young shopkeeper holding the wooden sword, not refuting, and on her face appeared a color akin to the most beautiful evening clouds in the sky, even her ear lobes were flushed red.

Shi Yisong thought.

Truly beautiful!

The girl handed the wooden sword back to Little Shitou, then replied:

"Yes."

"Indeed."

She said so. freewebnøvel_com

So, Little Shitou felt this beautiful lady shopkeeper truly had a brave demeanor akin to a hero, and when parting from the Xue Family’s Trade Guild, the lady shopkeeper personally handed a sword to Little Shitou.

So the little ranger now carried two swords at his waist.

One was a sword gifted by this young lady shopkeeper.

One was a sword gifted by that young Taoist.

On the swords, one was marked [Xue], the other marked [Li], and Shi Yisong happily couldn’t keep his face calm, grinning widely, crossing the two swords, very heroically and martially saying: "If Li Taoist bullies you."

"I will definitely go find him!"

Then the young lady shopkeeper smiled and replied:

"He won’t."

.........

The stories in the Martial World, tumultuous and yet peacefully intertwined like two leaves swept up by the wind, Li Guanyi changed out of the scarlet qilin-patterned war robe he wore when he first entered Central State, with a golden silk hair crown, holding what should be the pine pattern ancient sword of Elder Zu.

After some hesitation, he put the pine pattern ancient sword back down.

He picked up the Chi Xiao Sword, wearing it at his waist, then set off for the Academy in Central State. Today the Academy’s Dao debate began — a decision proposed by Gongyang Su Wang previously, a terrifying proposal enough to stir up the world’s storms.

Descendants of All Schools would emerge.

The power accumulated over eight hundred years was finally about to be revealed to the world, even if it was five hundred years ago, during the era of General Xue and Duke Chen, even three hundred years ago, when the hero’s powerful vigor tore through the whole world’s murky atmosphere, the Academy had not yet emerged.

The world is about to change drastically.

This feeling became more specific, more clear, but as Feng Xiao accompanied Li Guanyi to the debate, he had no expectations for today’s Dao debate, taking a sip of wine, saying: "Lord, what do you think they are competing on today?"

"Is it the scholars’ knowledge? The ideas of various schools and sects?"

"Of course not!"

There was a trace of concern on Feng Xiao’s face: "What they are truly competing over is still the trend of the world. This time it merely appears on the surface to be a literary duel, but in reality, it’s nothing more than the states, powers, together using their influence to reap from the Academy."
