Chapter 445 Taking advantage of the topic
Tianhe Sword Pavilion.
Deng Yi, the sect leader of the Tianhe Sword Sect, waved his hand to disperse the water mirror that was displaying the scene of the Tianhe Sword Testing Platform.
"This child is no ordinary person," Deng Yi remarked to Yi Yunyu beside him.
"To have such a profound understanding of water at such a young age, and to be able to use the six waves at will, is terrifying."
Bai Lu said she promised him she would give him the method for further study.
I remember the last person qualified was Bai Lu's father, but he was already at the Yuan Dan realm then.
At this point, Deng Yi fell silent.
“Bai Lu has feelings for him, and the Sword Master also intends to bring them together. In addition, the Sword Master said that the opportunity to deal with Xuan Ting also lies with him,” Yi Yunyu suddenly said.
"What?! Get rid of Xuan Ting!!" Deng Yi's eyes widened instantly as he looked at Yi Yunyu's calm face.
"Yes! Take care of Xuan Ting."
I believe Bai Lu has already told you that Shen Xu needs to enter the Thunder Pool Secret Realm due to health reasons.
This was arranged by the Sword Master, with the aim of using Shen Xu's luck to completely eliminate Xuan Ting.
But Shen Xu is unaware of this matter yet, so you should not easily reveal it to him, otherwise it will disrupt the Sword Master's arrangements, and I'm afraid you cannot bear that responsibility."
"Elder Yi, please rest assured that Xuan Ting is a major threat to the Sword Sect. Now that the Heavenly River Tide has the opportunity to completely eliminate him, the Sword Sect is willing to follow all of the Sword Venerable's arrangements."
"I wonder if there's anything else the Sword Master needs us to do?" Deng Yi's eyes couldn't hide his excitement.
If he can resolve the Xuan Ting issue during his term, he will become the most significant figure in the history of the Tianhe Sword Sect.
"You don't need to do anything, just let Shen Xu participate in the Milky Way Tide."
Deng Yi frowned. Although Shen Xu was incredibly talented, he still had some reservations about letting him deal with Xuan Ting alone.
If any accident were to occur, it would be a catastrophic disaster for the Tianhe Sword Sect.
"Isn't this a bit too hasty? Xuan Ting has been entrenched in the Heavenly River for nearly ten thousand years, and he's just a Qi Sea Realm cultivator..."
"Guanbi will also be there."
"This...I absolutely disagree!!"
The consequences of Xuan Ting's last act of rebellion are still fresh in my mind; I absolutely cannot gamble again.
"What if this was an arrangement left behind by Bailu's mother?"
“Danxue…” Deng Yi fell silent.
“If it’s her arrangement, I can accept Guan Bi entering the forbidden zone.”
Deng Yi sighed softly; he knew of Bai Lu's mother's talent for predicting the future.
But she didn't tell him about such an important matter before she left, which shows that she really didn't regard him as her master.
……
On the other side, Shen Xu followed Guan Bi back to Chunlu Pavilion.
"came back."
In the pavilion, Bai Lu stared intently at the emerald-green tea in her hand, her voice devoid of any emotion.
Looking at Bai Lu like this, Guan Bi couldn't help but feel a little guilty. Her increasingly intimate relationship with Shen Xu made her somewhat afraid to face Bai Lu.
Shen Xu, on the other hand, didn't have as many burdens, and he and Bai Lu had no relationship.
So he stepped forward, picked up the teapot, and poured himself a cup of tea. The aroma of tea immediately filled the air and spread around, giving him a jolt of energy and making his vital energy surge.
"What kind of tea is this? It's very good! I haven't even seen Bailu tea in Qinglingxi, and you're serving me such fine tea." Shen Xu said with a smile.
Although he didn't know why, he could sense that Bai Lu wasn't in a good mood.
"These are some of the few things my mother left me before she passed away, and I only discovered them today at Chunlu Pavilion," Bailu replied calmly.
"I'm sorry, Bailu, I didn't know." Shen Xu gently placed the teacup he hadn't finished drinking on the table.
"It's alright. Even the most precious tea leaves lose their value if they're not used."
Upon hearing this, Shen Xu looked at Bai Lu with some surprise. He suddenly felt that Bai Lu seemed like a different person.
"Bai Lu, what's wrong?" Shen Xu asked Bai Lu with some concern.
"If there are no unforeseen circumstances, the sect will agree to your participation in the Heavenly River Tide." Bai Lu's voice remained indifferent.
"Bai Lu, what exactly happened? If there's anything I can do to help, I won't hesitate!"
"You don't need to worry, I'm fine. I just learned some things that made me feel a bit sentimental." Bai Lu looked into Shen Xu's eyes.
"Shen Xu, if one day you found out that someone had planned your entire life, and that every step you took was part of someone else's plan, how would you feel?"
"That depends on how well that person arranges things. If the final result is that I become a saint without any cost, then of course I have no objection," Shen Xu said with a smile, sitting next to Bai Lu.
Upon hearing this, Bai Lu couldn't help but chuckle, "You wish!"
"Just kidding, even if your life was arranged by someone else, they absolutely cannot control your experience of this world."
A gentle breeze in the pavilion, a bright moon above the tower—the ear hears these sounds, and the eye sees them.
Even every person you meet in your life and every word you say is a unique experience.
Besides, you're still so young. As your strength increases, no one will be able to completely control your life.
If so, I'll help you deal with him.
Bai Lu stared blankly at Shen Xu for a moment, then revealed a bright smile, "You said it yourself. If you go back on your word in the future, I will never let you off the hook for the rest of my life."
Looking at Bai Lu's serious eyes, Shen Xu felt that he had spoken too confidently.
"The premise is that I have the ability. If you ask me to go now, I don't think it's very feasible," Shen Xu immediately added.
"Don't worry, it will probably be a long time before you see her."
"Hmm? You know who it is?"
"It's better if you don't know about her right now. What did you and Guanbi do today?" Bai Lu changed the subject.
Seeing the mysterious Bai Lu, Shen Xu didn't press further and replied, "Today, Guan Bi took me to the Broken Tail Thunder Swamp to get used to the lightning of the Heavenly River, and then took me to the Heavenly River Sword Testing Platform to spar with the Heavenly River disciples."
"Why did Guanbi take you there? And aren't you just bullying them? Which disciple in the early stage of Qi Sea in the Tianhe Sword Sect can beat you?" Bai Lu rolled her eyes at Shen Xu.
"Who said I fought with a Tianhe disciple who was in the early stage of the Qi Sea Realm?"
Guan Bi said I needed to prove my strength before the higher-ups at Tianhe would give me a spot to participate in the Tianhe Tide, so he took me to the Tianhe Sword Testing Platform.
When I arrived at the destination, someone came looking for trouble, so I reluctantly agreed to fight him.
"Someone's causing you trouble. Who?" Bai Lu's gaze turned cold.
"It's alright, we've already reached an agreement, and he readily agreed to my terms," Shen Xu said with a smile.
Bai Lu looked puzzled. "Even if you don't say it here, I can get all the information about what happened today from Guan Bi."
"Okay! It's actually quite simple..."
Shen Xu scratched his head and then told Bai Lu about what had happened at the sword-testing platform.
After listening, Bai Lu gave Shen Xu a deep look, then waved to Guan Bi who was standing outside the pavilion.
"Guanbi, is what he said true?"
“Miss, it’s true. Shen Xu really defeated Zhou Tai very easily and broke his Three Thousand Flowing Body.”
"Then why did he clash with Zhou Tai?" Bai Lu asked calmly.
"Miss, it's because of me."
"A hero saves a damsel in distress!" Bai Lu chuckled.
"What hero? I was forced into this situation. Since I had to fight anyway, it didn't matter who I fought. I could also help Guanbi out of a problem. Why not?"
"It doesn't matter who you fight. Are you very confident in your strength? Do you want me to help you find an elder at the Yuan Dan realm so you can achieve the feat of defeating the Yuan Dan realm in the Qi Sea realm?"
Bai Lu's voice unconsciously turned somewhat cold.
Shen Xu was a little confused. He couldn't understand why Bai Lu, who had been perfectly fine just moments before, had suddenly changed her personality.
"Miss, it's my fault. I shouldn't have brought Shen Xu to the sword-testing platform," Guan Bi apologized.
"Guanbi, you don't need to apologize. I was the one who agreed to spar with Zhou Tai. What does it have to do with you?"
After a moment of silence, Shen Xu said, "I admit that I was a bit impulsive at the time. I was indeed a bit arrogant after breaking through to the Qi Sea Realm, and Zhou Tai did pose a considerable threat."
But I've learned my lesson; I'll be more careful next time.
Guan Bi sighed softly. She knew that her mistress was just using this as an excuse; she was simply jealous.
Shen Xu completely missed the point, but his answer wasn't wrong; at least it wouldn't make the young lady even angrier.
