Chapter 213 Above the Flying Sword
Following Guan Bi and the other person, Shen Xu entered the interior of Tianjian Mountain amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd. A wide bluestone avenue led straight to the clouds, flanked by lush ancient forests, with melodious birdsong echoing from time to time.
"Shen Xu, is that you?" Guan Bi whispered in Shen Xu's ear.
Looking at Guan Bi's fair and rosy face, Shen Xu smiled and replied, "Miss Guan, please have some self-respect. Besides, I don't know anyone named Shen Xu."
"Ah!" Upon hearing Shen Xu's reply, Guan Bi immediately blushed and moved away from Shen Xu.
Seeing Guan Bi's reaction, Shen Xu couldn't help but smile. He wasn't sure about other girls, but he was certain that Guan Bi was faking it; this girl was incredibly cunning.
I guess because of the sword selection incident, she's probably plotting revenge against him!
Seeing this scene, Cheng Hui's disgust for Shen Xu deepened even further. "Such a disgusting man, I don't know why Bai Lu wants him to live next to her."
Looking at Shen Xu's unfamiliar face, Guan Bi couldn't help but grin mischievously, "Sister Cheng, why don't you take us there on your sword this time? You can show us the scenery of Tianjian Mountain."
"Since you've made such a request, I can't very well refuse. I'll make an exception and show you the scenery of Tianjian Mountain today!" Cheng Hui said with a smile.
Shen Xu laughed when he heard this. He naturally knew what the two were planning. It would be best if someone who had never experienced flying on a sword stood on it without being so frightened that their legs went weak.
However, this was not his first time flying on a sword. In fact, because he often used swords to escape in his previous life, his sword-flying skills were superb. The two's plan to embarrass him was destined to fail.
It's called sword control, but what he's actually controlling is a special flying artifact. Of course, a real sword can also carry people into the air, but it's not a professional flying device, and its various conditions are certainly not as good as a sword specifically designed for flight. Therefore, in his previous life, he had almost never used a real sword to fly.
Cheng Hui took out a flying sword and infused it with her vital energy. The flying sword then began to emit a blue light and gradually grew larger, revealing its true appearance.
"Feihong No. 3 Type II! And it's a custom-made model! The best of the best!"
Shen Xu couldn't help but marvel at the wealth and power of the woman in front of him. This flying sword couldn't be obtained without ten thousand Nourishing Yuan Pills. In his previous life, he could only use the Jinghong No. 2 Type 1. She was selling it to him for a thousand Nourishing Yuan Pills even though it was a second-hand item. He had to sell his pots and pans and save every penny to buy it.
He gradually recovered after following the witch, but he never used the 'Flying Rainbow' series of flying swords.
So when Shen Xu saw the flying sword, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty. He wasn't sure he could withstand its speed. However, if Guan Bi was also on it, she probably wouldn't be flying at full speed.
After the blue light on the flying sword faded, a flying sword three meters long and half a meter wide appeared in front of the three. Cheng Hui took the lead and stood on it, while Guan Bi sat cross-legged behind Cheng Hui. Then, the two of them looked at Shen Xu.
Shen Xu hesitated for a moment but still stood next to Guan Bi. He had never ridden such a luxurious flying sword before. In his previous life, his flying sword could only accommodate one person at most.
Feeling the flying sword begin to vibrate slightly, and seeing that Shen Xu was still unwilling to sit down, Guan Bi couldn't help but quietly move closer to Shen Xu.
As the flying sword gradually ascended into the air, Shen Xu saw that the Heavenly Sword Mountain was surrounded by clouds and mist, like a dream. In the clouds and mist, a huge waterfall cascaded down from the mountain peak, splashing up layers of white water mist that covered a wide area, like a white veil gently brushing over the mountain peak.
Among the mountain peaks, pavilions and towers are scattered in a well-organized manner, each building emitting a faint halo of various colors, appearing and disappearing in the clouds and mist, like a fairyland of jade palaces and immortal mountains.
But before Shen Xu could properly appreciate it, the flying sword suddenly sped off in one direction without warning, though the speed was still acceptable to him.
Moreover, the windproof shield of this flying sword was very well made, so he only staggered for a moment before regaining his balance.
Cheng Hui glanced at Shen Xu with some surprise, while Guan Bi turned away with some disappointment.
Experiencing the long-lost feeling of being on a flying sword, Shen Xu couldn't help but feel excited.
Because of the high speed of the flying sword and the swirling clouds and mist, Shen Xu gradually lost sight of what was on Tianjian Mountain. He could only see the clouds and mist slowly drifting around him, as well as the elegant figures of white cranes and colorful spirit birds soaring through the air.
One after another, flying swords streaked across the sky like shooting stars, flashing with dazzling lights of various colors, seemingly dancing with white cranes and spirit birds.
Golden-red rays of light descended from the sky, spreading across the mountains and dyeing everything in a golden-red hue. The scattering of the light also made the surrounding environment warmer and more peaceful.
Auspicious wisps of mist rose from the mountain peaks, forming a purple fog that made the entire Tianjian Mountain look like a fairyland.
Not long after, Cheng Hui piloted her flying sword and slowly descended to a place with extremely beautiful scenery.
After the flying sword landed, Shen Xu couldn't wait to step off and admire the surrounding scenery. It could be said that he had never seen such a beautiful environment before him, neither in his past life nor this one.
White clouds, like veils of fairies, drifted in the wind, surrounded by all sorts of exotic flowers and plants. The lush greenery was covered with glistening dewdrops full of vitality, and the flowers of all sizes and colors vied for attention, each emitting a captivating fragrance that attracted countless gorgeous butterflies to flutter among them.
The rich energy even formed wisps of mist that drifted slowly in the air, and sunlight shone through the mist onto the verdant earth, creating brilliant rays of light.
A stream flows gently, its water crystal clear. Red and white fish leap out of the water, like water sprites playing.
The stream is lined with towering ancient trees, lush and verdant, and a few birds take flight from the forest, drawing a beautiful arc in the air.
"You'll be living here from now on," Guan Bi said with a light laugh, looking at Shen Xu, who was clearly excited.
"Are the benefits for members of your Tianhe Society really that good? I feel like I don't deserve to be here!" Shen Xu said with some doubt.
“Your feeling is correct. This is Qinglingxi, a place only Miss Bailu can stay in. But since Miss has asked you to stay here, I had no choice but to bring you here,” Cheng Hui suddenly said.
"So that's how it is. Where should I stay?" Shen Xu looked around at the area where there were no buildings.
"This is just the entrance. We need to go deeper inside to see our accommodations, but it's a no-fly zone, so we have no choice but to walk through." After saying this, Guan Bi walked straight ahead.
Following Guan Bi forward, Shen Xu finally saw a three-story exquisite white pavilion in front of a smooth mountain wall. The two sides of the pavilion and the outside stairs were covered with vines with light blue flowers.
A smooth slab of green jade stone leads from the pavilion to a white jade bridge over the stream. A huge and lush Yuanlu tree completely blocks out the sky in front of the pavilion, casting large shadows on the green jade stone slabs.
"I don't think this was prepared for me!" Shen Xu asked with a smile.
"Dream on. That's where you and Madam lived when you were little. Your residence is across the stone bridge."
Shen Xu rubbed his hands together expectantly. "Then I'll go take a look."
"I knew it!" Shen Xu chuckled softly as he looked at the small wooden house surrounded by ancient trees.
Pushing open the door, I found that although the house was small, it was fully equipped with all the necessary furniture, and even a quilt was provided for him. There were also some brand-new, simple robes in the wardrobe.
It seems that Bai Lu had planned for him to stay here a long time ago, otherwise she wouldn't have prepared all this.
"Please thank your young lady for giving me a place to stay," Shen Xu said sincerely to Guan Bi. He was quite satisfied with the place Bai Lu had arranged for him.
"Don't you think it's bad?" Guan Bi asked curiously.
"How could that be? I'm easily satisfied. I'm just a little disappointed that I didn't see the 'professional servant' part in your recruitment brochure. I feel like I can't eat anymore."
Shen Xu was genuinely worried. This place looked far from the cafeteria, and he might not even be able to make up for the energy he expended on the way there by eating a meal.
He can't just spend his days consuming fasting pills; that would be breaking his vow to the Pill Master.
“Who said you don’t have them?” Guan Bi said with a light laugh.
