Chapter 23 - Lovers' Sword Tassels

(Translator’s Note: The sword tassel is just that thing that hangs from the end of Chinese swords. It’s only ornamental, as far as I know. See image above.)

Chu Yu was very weak but after he was healed by his grandmother he felt better. He started to think about how to deal with the current problem at Tian Yuan Sect.

Song Jingyi is posing as a person of high morals but he is definitely a hypocrite. However, he is an elite disciple and the disciples who followed him did not show up to tell the truth.

Indeed, it would be useless for them to stay …

Chu Yu had an epiphany. They are useless if they stay. It’s the same if they run. In fact, if they stay, they might hold back or even cause unnecessary casualties. This means there’s no need to investigate this matter.

His relaxed and cheerful good mood was broken by Chu Sheng the next day.

Chu Sheng arrived early in the morning and asked Chu Yu all the details of what happened. Chu Sheng whispered: “Little brother, when you disappeared the elders of Tian Yuan Sect came. This so-called sect master’s disciple deliberately did not send the signal.”

Three years ago, the sect master Song Yuanzhuo learned that demonic path cultivators had entered the borders of the Jiao Xia territory. He guessed that these demonic cultivators were there for the demonic insects. However, he didn’t want to cancel the training for the Tian Yuan disciples so he took certain steps to ensure their safety.

It’s probable that before they departed, Song Yuanzhuo took Song Jingyi aside to speak to him alone and to give him a special signal. When this signal is sent, the elders will immediately come to the rescue.

****! That ****er!

Song Jingyi is truly a hypocrite, hiding his malicious intent under a veneer of righteousness. He seems to be aiming to harm Chu Yu and Xie Xi.

Chu Yu has to be really vigilant this time. In the original Chu Yu’s memories, he and Song Jinyi competed for the first place during the previous Immortal Sword Congress. The original Chu Yu won and when Song Jingyi stepped down from the stage, his eyes were very cold and full of venom.

That person has been harboring ill feelings towards Chu Yu for a long time.

Chu Yu was pondering how to handle this situation when Chu Sheng said in a gloomy tone: “Little brother, I checked and Song Jingyi only comes from a minor family. It won’t be any problem if your big brother were to send someone to …”

Big brother, why are you speaking like a villain …

Chu Yu’s eyebrows shot up: “No need.”

Song Jingyi is the sect master’s personal succeeding disciple. Lu Qingan has a good relationship with the sect master. If Song Jinyi is killed and Song Yuanzhuo has to investigate him, Lu Qingan will lose too much face …

Just being in guard against Song Jingyi is enough. Killing him is not an option.

Chu Sheng sighed and had to give up.

“By the way, little brother, the situation in Jinhe’s territory is tense. Father and Mother had to check it out this morning. Grandfather and grandmother also had to go. Are you staying in Falling Maple Leaf Valley or going back to Tian Yuan Sect?”

“The situation is tense?” asked Chu Yu in surprise.

The expression on Chu Sheng’s face was apprehensive: “Little brother, you don’t know about it. Seven days ago, the Tian Yuan Sect’s Nascent Soul Stage elders caught a few demonic cultivators. Unfortunately, the elders didn’t realize that one of them was carrying a teleportation item. When the elders relaxed their guard, the demonic cultivators escaped from Jiao Xia. Half a day later, seven demonic cultivator squads attacked and the Jinhe River was almost lost. Most of Tian Yuan Sect and Maple Leaf Valley’s Nascent Soul level cultivators have already gone to the Jinhe River.”
