Chapter 245 Fetch the Long Sword
The long sword that Gao Ge wants to fetch from the Cultivation Academy is the one sent by Qin Yan.
Qin Yan’s long sword carries heavy murderous intent, which is an effective instrument to cope with ghosts. Gao Ge has known that before. Yet, he hadn’t lit up the third star map before he left the Cultivation Academy. Hence, he asked Yue Xincheng to keep it instead of taking it with him.
Now that he wants to deal with the apprentices of the Ghost Sect, he must fetch the long sword.
Of course, only Gao Ge knows whether he just wants to take it as an excuse to pay a visit to the Cultivation Academy.
In fact, by now Gao Ge and Yue Xincheng haven’t been separated for a long time.
When they arrive at the Cultivation Academy in Nancheng, Gao Ge is stopped at the gate. Luckily, he has brought the identity certificate of the Dragon Court.
After entering the Cultivation Academy, Master Wen has too much to watch.
“Is this place the legendary Cultivation Academy?”
Gao Ge looks at Master Wen and says, “What do you think of this place? Have you been here before?”
Master Wen says smilingly, “Who am I? How can I have the chance to come here? It is great to visit here now. Moreover, the Cultivation Academy is situated in a good location, which is sort of a geomantic treasure land.”
Gao Ge believes what Master Wen said. Although he is not capable, he has some knowledge of basic geomantic omen.
The people here are also surprised to see Gao Ge.
They don’t know that Gao Ge has joined the Dragon Court. What they know is only that Gao Ge is expelled by the Cultivation Academy.
Some of them show sympathy for Gao Ge; some of them are indifferent; and more of them are scornful of him.
“You are quite famous in the Cultivation Academy. I think very few people don’t know you.” Master Wen says after he finds the inkling.
Gao Ge waves his hand, “It’s bubble reputation.” He appears as if regarding everything unimportant.
Master Wen laughs.
Gao Ge is confused, “Why don’t you ask me how come I am so famous?”
“No.”
“Why?”
Master Wen sneers, “If I do, won’t you get a chance to show off?”
Gao Ge can’t help praising him in secret. After all, Master Wen is a man in his fifties, who is wise enough to see through a lot of things.
Having gone into the Academy, Gao Ge leads Master Wen directly to the dorm.
There is no one in the dorm. Apparently, everyone has gone to class. Gao Ge finds the long sword under the bed and places it into the star map. Suddenly, someone knocks on the door. Gao Ge stands up to open the door. Yue Xincheng directly rushes into the dorm and gives Gao Ge a big hug.
“Boss, it’s you! I’ve heard that you have come. It is so unbelievable!” Yue Xincheng says with an excited face.
Gao Ge laughs. At the time, Chen Guo and Liang Bufan also arrive in a rush.
“Boss, waa...”
Shocked by Liang Bufan’s behavior, Gao Ge quickly jumps backward for two steps with disdain, “What do you want to do?”
“To hug you!” Liang Bufan feels at a loss.
“Man, how about blowing your nose first?”
“Okay!” Liang Bufan says smilingly.
Sitting on the bed of the dorm, he finds that his stuff still remains unchanged. Yue Xincheng tells him, “The dorm supervisor wanted to clear away your bed but we just didn’t agree to that. We have a feeling that you will come back to visit us. By then you must have a place to sleep. The dorm supervisor can do nothing with us and there are plenty of bed vacancies in the Cultivation Academy, so he just leaves it alone.”
Gao Ge feels a bit touched.
Liang Bufan says aside, “Boss, I always air your quilt for you every week!”
“Thank you.”
“I am not accustomed to your thanking me...” Liang Bufan says happily.
Gao Ge heaves a sigh.
He has lived in the Dragon Court for several days. No one helps him air the quilt or do his laundry. To be honest, he is not used to it. He really hopes that Liang Bufan can seize the time to elevate his capability so that he can join the Dragon Court in the future. By then he can help Gao Ge do the laundry again.
“Oh right, Boss, why do you back here? How long will you stay here?” Yue Xincheng asks further.
“I’m leaving soon. I come here only to take the long sword away.” Gao Ge says.
Yue Xincheng is a bit surprised and hurries to ask, “Are you going to fight with others?”
“No.”
“Okay then...” Yue Xincheng exhales with a relief.
“He is not going to fight with others but to kill people.” Master Wen says aside.
Yue Xincheng is astounded. He looks at Master Wen with staring eyes, “You are here too?”
Master Wen is speechless.
He has been in the dorm for a long time.
He has met with Yue Xincheng since he was in Suzhou, so they are not strange to each other. Yue Xincheng just wonders why Master Wen followed Gao Ge to the Cultivation Academy.
“Boss, who are you going to kill?” Yue Xincheng asks, “Can you bring me?”
“No.” Gao Ge says.
Yue Xincheng falls into silence and yet can’t do anything.
Very soon, Gao Ge’s cell phone rings. He takes it out to have a look. It’s from Meng Jing.
Gao Ge doesn’t know Meng Jing has been waiting downstairs until he picks up the phone.
“I go downstairs first.” Gao Ge says.
“Okay. Let’s go downstairs together!” Yue Xincheng says.
Gao Ge doesn’t stop them.
After they arrive downstairs, Meng Jing runs into Gao Ge’s arms. She doesn’t shed tears and yet her eyes are red. Others may believe that they haven’t seen each other for years.
With a smile on her face, Xia Lu is standing under a tree before the dorm’s gate. Lifting her feet with a rock, she looks towards Gao Ge and Meng Jing from time to time.
Yue Xincheng and the others also arrive at the front of Xia Lu.
“Xia Lu, when do you plan to take action?” Looking at Gao Ge, Yue Xincheng asks Xia Lu.
“What do you mean?” Xia Lu is confused.
“If you don’t take action now, how can you be my sister-in-law?”
historical
“Insane!” Xia Lu snorts.
She is aloof as always.
Yue Xincheng shrugs. He has foreseen such an answer from Xia Lu but he also believes that most girls speak insincerely. As to the matter of love, those closely involved cannot see as clearly as those outside. He never believes that Xia Lu doesn’t feel a thing for Gao Ge. However, since she is willing to be an ostrich, he can only stop where it should. After all, you can take a horse to the water but you cannot make him drink.
Xia Lu suddenly asks, “As far as I hear, you have been practicing skills with long sword?”
Yue Xincheng nods his head, “Yes, I want to take the time to elevate my capability. Maybe I can get into the Dragon Court sooner.”
“Good. Why do you choose long sword?” Xia Lu asks.
“Because my boss uses sword!” Yue Xincheng says as if it is a matter of course, “My boss uses regular sword while I use long sword. After I join the Dragon Court in the future, I can cooperate well with my boss and sweep away all the enemies. Isn’t this very normal?”
Xia Lu sneers again.
“The teacher who teaches me swordsmanship says that I am talented and that I will be established in the future.” Immersed in his own imagination, Yue Xincheng says, “When I leave the Cultivation Academy, there will be a capable swordsman with a pot of liquids hung at the waist, who takes a sip of the liquids while killing one person. How great it is!”
“Or maybe in ten years, when I see you, you will be selling port at the market with a new name called Pork Yue.”
Yue Xincheng has no idea how to reply.
Therefore, it is so boring to chat with Xia Lu.
